Showdown at the Shalour Gym! (847)

The battle was overall great. The hype of this battle did not disappoint, but I will say that the Japanese version handled it better music-wise in order to make it feel more intense. I didn't like how Lucario's Bone Rush was able to beat Hawlucha though and Ash relied on Pikachu more than he should have, but it makes sense considering how astonishingly strong Korrina's Mega Lucario is. This episode was a nice conclusion to the XY Mega Evolution arc.

I tend to overlook things like that since the writers are hardly ever consistent when it comes to type immunity, although I've never even understood why Bone Rush is classified as a Ground-type move.
