Naganadel has literally zero training or battle experience, so...

If it beats Lucario, then that's easily the single weakest Lucario ever seen in the anime

Pikachu has access to three Electric Z-Moves:

Gigavolt Havoc - any electric move

Catastropika - Volt Tackle (already showcased by Pikarla)

10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt - requires Thunderbolt and an arbitrary hat and is activated whenever the plot needs it and is never explained how or why it happens - Ash's Electric-Z magically turns into Pikachu-Z for no reason then reverts
The first time it happened was in Ultra Space. I'm presuming it absorbed some sort of Necrozma energy from the wormhole and now just powers up when it has enough again.

Naganadel has little to no onscreen experience, but it learned Thunderbolt on its own so it's clearly been training in the magical world of offscreen land.

Ash's Pikachu doesn't have access to Catastropika unless Quick Attack becomes Volt Tackle again.

The real question is if Kukui's defeated Lucario will get swirly eyes. C'mon, comedic SM. Don't fail me on this.

Well both maylene's lucario and cameron's lucario had swirly eyes when they collapsed in there matches. So there is a possibility.

Not thinking twice!

Maybe, but Snowy and Ash's Torracat (vs Guzma) didn't get swirly eyes after being defeated, so IDK

Easygoing Luxray.
What is Tapu Bulu doing in this episode? He's not fighting, so I wonder if he drops a berry for Pikachu before the final battle.
That's its job.

Professional Water Boy.

A job that removes all the tension from battles, such as when a Kahuna decides to challenge a trainer 3 to 1, only for Bulu to heal the trainer with a number disadvantage before the final battle.

If they still show it in the last 2-3 remaining episodes it could be from Galar

Actually from the way the summary is worded it sounds like Tapu Koko isn't going to be Kukui's 6th pokemon, and more like that the full battle finishes and then right as a winner is about to be declared Tapu Koko comes down and insist on joining the battle. So basically for instance if Ash won then it would be a case of right after Kukui's final pokemon goes down and is declared unable to battle and Ash is about to be declared the winner Tapu Koko comes down and insist on joining the battle. In which case maybe the battle would break down like this:

Naganadel vs Lucario: Naganadel
Naganadel vs Incineroar: Incineroar
Torracat vs Incineroar: Torracat
Torracat vs Kukui's 6th pokemon: Kukui's 6th pokemon
Pikachu vs Kukui's 6th pokemon: Pikachu
Pikachu vs Tapu Koko: ???

A previous summary flat out calls Koko Kukui's sixth partner Pokemon

It really sounds like that, but why would they hide it for so much time for it to be a completely random pokémon? If it is anything other than Tapu Koko, it's either a Galar pokémon or some disappointment
And it was already confirmed Tapu Koko is the sixth

Sure if you want to ignore that Pokemon is very capable of having strong powerful natural power.

Besides Lucario got one hit by a Guzzlord, so its not the strongest Lucario in the world, but weakest, I doubt that. I highly doubt it's weaker than Maylene's or even Korinna's (which had the advantage of mega evolution)
