September 2nd: PM2019 123 - The Semifinals II: Dazzle

[Joltik-Kid]

Not sure my prediction is even close to right at this point... A 3 parter really makes the mind-boggle when Cynthia has 4 Pokemon revealed and loses 2 of them to Ash's 3 of Dragonite, Gengar, and Pikachu. The only thing for certain is Spiritomb vs Dragonite is the opening matchup

Three episodes of Tomioka strategies is going to be so much fun to watch.

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

Hoping for Ash to lose.

Episode Preview:

 

[TheNewGuy]

Looks like quite a lot of Pokemon being used based on the preview but I only saw it once. Some switching would be nice.

Also is that COUNTER SHIELD

 

[ash&charizardfan]

So diantha is staying behind and iris is gone for good.

 

[Eevee903]

So Tomb Climb and Counter Shield? At least he is using some older strategies. The fact that only Pikachu uses them tho is less interesting...

 

[Pteranodonte]

Looks like Pikachu is jumping on Earth Power or something like that.

 

[Eevee903]

Looks like Pikachu is jumping on Earth Power or something like that.

Yeah something like that. Only if Gengar still had Psychic or Ice Punch he could have finished Roserade in seconds...OH WAIT

 

[AJ97]

Yeah something like that. Only if Gengar still had Psychic or Ice Punch he could have finished Roserade in seconds...OH WAIT

Really? Are you gonna talk about type advantages to the same guy who took out a Mega Metagross with an Iron tail lol.

Exactly my point. It is Pikachu, we are used to that by now. Honestly todays episode took half of my hype away already for this one. I just hope Dragonite DOESN'T job.

 

[janejane6178]

Diantha is still here watching amazing <33
Its always good to see elegant and superior characters

 

[Shneak]

Oh my god, Counter Shield!? Cynthia, Ash and Pikachu also look so expressive.

My hope is restored.

Don't diss the tail bruh, naughty Beldums are scared by their parents into obedience by the mere mention of that tail.

 

[Eevee903]

My hope is restored.

Don't mean to be a downer on the hype, but watch the episode next week before you make such a statement lol.

 

[SerGoldenhandtheJust]

COUNTER SHIELD!!!
Big W!!!!

The artstyle in the preview looks so clean and expressive. I'm still not sure about the animation though, while counter shield was hype it's animation didn't give much hope altho again it was for a brief second

Fingers crossed this battle overall has great animation

 

[Bortgreen]

Counter Shield huh? The writers are having fun with finally doing Ash vs Cynthia
Wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to bring Infernape too but weren't allowed by the higher ups like the Kalos League
