Again just like with korrina, he did not deserve the win then, he does not now, he has done NOTHING with dragonite, no training, no nothing for a very long time, he, does, not, deserve, it.
Dragonite is a very strong fully evolved pokemon. And outside of lucario he actually used it quite a bit. The raid battle episode. The park episode. During DD. I dotnsee what training he has to put in with dragonite. Now dracovish on the other hand

Now dracovish on the other hand

Maybe she appears later? But I feel like she and Gary are one of the many cameos we are getting, they are here for fan service not actually to make them relevant and give them arcs.
Might just be hype text for the episode, but given everything that goes on in the episode, Gary's appearance feels more like setup for a future plot point.
Professor Okido's grandson and Satoshi's childhood friend from way back. He's Satoshi's greatest rival, and the two have had many battles thus far. Just like Satoshi, he was once a Pokémon Trainer that set off from Masara Town, but he's now retired as a Trainer and is following the same path of a researcher as Professor Okido.

And just what is Shigeru's goal?!

And what will happen with Satoshi and Shigeru now that they've reunited?

Dragonite is legendary pokemon tier power. Even without training, it would make sense if it had a good shot of winning. You can be mad when Dracovish sweeps Iris after all his training during some junior's swimming competition. Ok being serious. There is going to be something that the writers make an excuse of so Ash can win like the super effective hits or Dracovish being faster.

Ash is winning this anyways, like it or not lul. Anyone that says otherwise is just in denial lul.
I mean, the pattern seems to be that Ash wins against past characters that are just brought back for one episode to serve as stepping stones towards a higher rank/class (Lt Surge's surrogate gym leader, Korrina, now Iris). And loses and then rematches trainers that are introduced in this series, like Bea and Rinto, since they are more likely to show up again until Ash defeats them eventually.

Training happens off-screen. What they show us on screen from time to time is supposed to be happening every day in off-screen land lol.

I’m just pointing this out but we don’t know how strong Ash’s Dracovish actually is. The reasons why some people are calling it weak is because it was revived from a fossil and we haven’t really seen it battle and/or train.

However just because it was revived from a fossil and we haven’t seen it battle or train doesn’t automatically mean it’s weak.

Heck we’ve seen cases where a Pokémon was revived from a fossil but wasn’t a baby.

So Dracovish being strong enough to take on and defeat at least one of Iris’s Pokémon is not a Farfetch’d idea.

The "Shigeru's goal" thing is referring to this:
He's returned to the Kanto region for "a certain reason", and it seems this reason involves the legendary Pokémon Fire...

Guess I should've worded it as "what is Shigeru's reason for being here in the first place" or something along those lines. It's not referring to some long-term plot point they're setting up.

Ah, it seemed like Moltres was just part of a larger goal, and the rival recap made me think the writers may be teasing a battle in the future.

I had thought that Gary was the most likely candidate to capture Moltres, but if he is going to be a one-off then Moltres probably isn't being caught by anyone.

the new standard of this series : Ash trains off screen

we get over that and move on
We'll be treated to a scene where he trains Dragonite for all but five seconds on one technique which will show up later. I can't say this for sure, but that's the extent of training in this series.
