Biggest one is character returns for me, was pretty satisfied with almost all of them except Alain’s. It’s always a joy to catch up with them and see them interact with newer ones. Best ones were Lillie/Gladion, Paul, Gary and Iris for me. Also enjoyed some PWC fights, particularly Lance vs Leon, Ash vs Vesiquez, Volkner, Cynthia and especially Leon. Early on his captures were great, the Riolu ep in particular was awesome imo, it was executed really well. Really liked Ash’s team here, Sirfetchd in particular was a surprise hit and has become one of my all time favourites. I also loved Goh’s backstory eps (15+32), I think they really showcased his circumstances and character and allowed you to understand him as a person
