That was kukuis field of research as a prof, people keep bringing up stuff like this when all the profs have there own fields and if gary was following oak then oak isnt a battle professor, when he was a trainer in his youth that was before he was a professor.

Dawn isn't the strongest female companion
Her Mamoswine got tossed around by Dragonite like it was nothing. Never mind that Excadrill also exists who has been with her for a very long time.

I hope Ash's Dragonite learns a new move in this episode. Its current moveset is really trash.

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
I never said she was, but that she would be 'well equiped' to deal with most of what Iris has. And yes, Dawn isn't a battler, but also.. Iris wasn't really in control of Dragonite either at the time, which may have put Dawn off-balance even more.
Excadrill exists, but so does Quilava (hypothetical Typhlosion). Ground -> Fire, but Fire -> Steel. So if you knock that up as a tie.. Who knows. It's not as if Dawn would need it for any other of Iris' squad, while Excadrill is the main counter to most of Dawn's heavy hitters: Mamoswine, Togekiss.

Probably would happen more often than you not feeling butthurt and taking my comments so personally, I guess.

Honestly Gary's growth regressing is something I would expect from this series with how inconsistent they are with continuity and their love for their nostalgic hypebait episodes even if it alters the real continuity.

Humans are tools
All hail offscreen development, even iris axew evolved offscren.
I am intrigued to see iris's behavior towards ash and especially his 2 dragons.

If your taking about the aesthetics of the move,then yes. I hope they do something about hyper beam. Maybe not forget it but training like gliscor had for giga impact.
please no

I want Noivern to come back, guy deserves it after being shafted. Same with Goodra.
Too bad two are released and one is forgotten

I can believe dragonite is strong without so much onscreen development. There is no excuse if Dracovish takes out Iris' haxorus.

Aesthetically, hyper beam is better than hurricane, imo.

I mean to be fair we don’t know how strong Dracovish actually is or how strong it was when it was first revived, so for all we know it could be that strong.

Yea, I forgot to write a sentence saying the moves themselves are pretty strong. People don't seem to like hyper beam because of the missed turn after. I guess it depends what they decide to do with the hurricane. In the Korrina episode, they just showed gusts of wind. I can't remember but I think against golurk Dragonite's hurricane was animated to look like an actual hurricane.

He has returned.
Hyper Beam is really the only move I feel it should replace at the moment, at the same time Dragonite has so many options to pick from It's hard to lock down what they could replace it with.
To be fair we don't know how long she's been training Axew up till now or even if it's evolved or not.
Plus, if Iris doesn't know about Dracovish considering it was literally brought into the anime's existence in it's debut episode, how can she know what she's facing?
The surprise factor could easily throw her off, heck I wonder how she'll react to seeing it if it gets used at all here.
well it did tear through Electroweb like tissue paper without much effort, so there's that.
I actually kind of like the fact that Ash's Dragonite is using a flying type attack since it's a move correlating to one of it's main types.
the only other dragonite in the anime to use a flying move was Lance's and all it used was Wing Attack.
Hyper Beam on the other hand feels way to generic to me, so if any move was to get switched out I'm hoping it's that one.
