Pocket Monsters (2019) Speculation Thread

In Leon's defense, Battle Tower Leon is quite challenging, not BDSP Cynthia level, but still quite challenging since homeboy can literally pull a Libero Cinderace on you.

yeahhh that thing was gonna sweep me but it was a type that didnt resist fire at the time i pyro balled it to the shadow dimension
in the same battle i caught leons charizard switching in and ohko'd it with rend so i got lucky twice, it didnt even get to gmax

That Charizard can actually be pretty challenging if you don't deal with it properly, G-Max is a pretty powerful gimmick, and that thing has the perfect moveset for abusing it. Also damn, must feel like heaven to beat it before it gets to G-Max lmfao.

tbh the SwSh tower's issue difficulty-wise is that you can bring anything, so you can kinda just cheese it with Zacian or other broken mons

I lost to Leon…

Battle Tower was so watered down it doesn't even matter if Leon got "better" there. Even if you lost to him, your streak doesn't end and you just bring in more broken Pokémon to overcome his limited hax.

You poor fool...

Leon was challenging, if you’re not careful he can sweep. The fact he swaps a Pokémon out besides his starter depending on who you picked was cool.

SWSH surprisingly had challenging moments. Majority of the game was very easy but fights like Raihan, Leon, and even some Gym Leaders in my experience were tricky.

I didn't have a great team comp, and the best he did to my team was 1 KO...and I was intentionally sandbagging.

Which starter did you pick?

Which starter did you pick?

First run was with Scorbunny, second was with Raboot.

You can sweep Diantha with just an Aegislash.

Yep, i can confirm that. My Aegislash was ace in Y version.

 

[ImBeVillain]

Most hardest battles were in Emerald actually, i lost often in that game.
Wattson, Norman, Tate & Liza, Juan, Drake, Wallace...

Point is, in a normal battle he definitely got better there, his Aegislash for instance has an actual moveset rather than using Shadow Ball, and his Pokemon can even come with broken HA like Libero. With all the hype surrounding him through the game you'd expect that to be his storyline self, not... Whatever they were going for.

Leon is so strong he can use Abilities that haven’t been released yet

I guess Ash will have a proper self-doubt arc after struggling vs Cynthia and this will make him part ways with Goh for a while, leading to his solo episode where he discovers more about friendship or other cheesy stuff. Then afterwards they will make up and then Ash will prepare for the finals
With Ash more confident in the last episode but still tense, the "weakness" music, a clear difference of how he and Leon beat their adversaries to the point of being pretty much bad writing... There is something off with him and it's kinda good to see him actually feel this, especially since the last depression arc that was too comic
I guess this could lead to some interesting drama that would make Ash's victory more satisfying, even if probably still unrealistic

Just no snowballs this time please

Tbh, I lost to Wulfric, but that's because I decided to go into that gym with all my Pokemon on yellow and red bars. Because all the other gym leaders were so easy.

You copied Ash and got cocky.
