[Panky..]

Sirfetch'd vs Machamp: Sirfetch'd avenges Lucario and Pikachu, and wins the battle for Ash

Unlikely. Lucario vs Machamp is pretty much confirmed as the last matchup, 2 of Ash's Pokemon are grayed out.

 

[DuquÊ?]

It looks like machamp is Bea’s second and lucario is Ash’s first. I’m here assuming grapploct will be the first to go down, then Bea reveals machamp.

I’m low key expecting g-Max pikachu will be used just to job because of the lack of experience with the gimmick.

A Pokemon's performance depends on the amount of time and resources available to the production team. Scripts are written knowing how many or few drawings the episode will be allowed.

Umm no? How does ash and bea both having 2 pokeball greyed out means one is their first and the other their second? Just from the tittle of this second episode we know the mega vs giga will be the finale.

Also ash is shown not to have his dynamax band. So no g-max for pikachu.

 

[karanova-1]

Sirfetchd should get 2 wins here then it will be a balanced match.
Pangaro Vs Pikachu: Pika looses
Pangaro Vs Lucario: Lucario recalled
Pangaro Vs Sirfetchd: Sirfetchd wins
Grapploct Vs Sirfetchd: Sirfetchd wins
Machamp Vs Sir: Machamp wins
MEGA Lucario vs GMax Machamp:

I don't think pikachu will loose here at best if it's sirfetch'd, pikachu and lucario are there then all each of them gets there wins here

Come to think about it the last 3 Ash matches involved him using a pokémon that shares the same type as the speciality of the character he was facing:

Vs Iris - Dragonite (Dragon)
Vs Volkner - Pikachu (Eletric)
Vs Bea - Lucario (Fighting)

You could even kind of try to group Sirfetch'd vs Rinto here since Gallade is a fighting type. And both pokémon had a "knight/swordsman" going for them

It gets boring after a while the same matchups

I'm pretty sure people had already noticed this a while ago, which is why there is no variety in types in these battles.

It's just an assumption. Also, first and third pokeballs on Bea's side are grey, and since machamp is her last... Also, send lucario first looks like a thing Ash would do, because he's barely subtle about who he's sending. I can be wrong, of course.

Point taken about the dynamax band.

That would require animating new stock footage, so of course they're avoiding that like the plague

Korrina is the only major Ash fight this series that hasn't done this

Because his Riolu was a wee lad.

People need to keep in mind that the scoreboard portion of the Lucario vs GMAX Machamp image is flipped. Take a look at Bea’s official artwork and/or any past WCS scoreboard screen from any WCS battle if you don’t believe me.

 

[Decidueye23]

DoEs THis MeAn Ash V LeON will have G-MaX ZArDs FIghTiNg?

 

[AJ97]

We're talking about someone with an unknown, but presumably high, level of power vs a dragon that's known to be stronger than Champion-tier Pokémon. I'd still like for its streak to be broken against a stronger opponent, if it is to be broken at all.

The PWC changes the concept of Regional Champions/ Elite Four Tier Trainers in terms of power scaling.

If you power scale based on a previous series, Ash's Dragonite yet alone his Dracovish have no business defeating Pokemon Owned by a Regional Champion. We see Paul, a trainer just as competent as Ash if not more, get absolutely crushed by Cynthia and he used his Torterra which was far more experienced and trained (Competed in the Kanto, Johto & Hoenn League before), versus Ash's Dragonite & Dracovish which hasn't even battled.

This simply means that being Regional Champion/ Elite four doesn't really mean as much at the moment. What holds more weight currently, is the person's PWC Rank.
The Master Class (Top 8) would be similar to what a Regional Champion used to be like before (With the exception of Leon who you could consider a cut above). The High Hyper Class ranks would seem more relative to Elite Four.

So if Bea is ranked 10-20/ That already scales her to be far more impressive and stronger versus Iris.

I imagine Pikachu/Lucario will do the heavy lifting lending back to their first encounters with Saito so they can get clean wins over her finally. Whatever the third Pokémon is will lose, fossil or onion duck as Gengar just took a loss.

I'd rather Pikachu was the one to lose here

Except that Pikachu wasn't used in the first battle, Farfetch'd was and it lost to Bea's Hawlucha, in the rematch Pikachu beat her Hitmontop before losing to Grapploct, so it has a win against her, where as Sirfetch'd and Lucario don't.

Lucario aside if Sirfetch'd is the third member for Ash's team in this battle, then it deserves a win here.

Yeah, this is likely done as a romance thing. There's a romance to "similar warriors duking it out!"
