| And so it begins! More old companions would've been good, but I'm happy to see Dawn. Gengar is GOOD, glad to finally see its Gigantamax form! And one down in each side! Man, I honestly don't know if Ash is winning or not this time around! Great episode as always!! |
 |
| Holy SHIT! FULL POWER BATTLE, FUCK YEEEAAAAH!! This is quite the start for a legendary battle, god damn! |
 |
| Even though I'm not particularly hyped for this final battle as much as I'd like for reasons many already exposed to death, I'll try to enjoy the ride and all the effort the staff clearly put on this one that will probably deliver what might be one of the best battles in the series and the ultimate victory for Ash's character, despite all the cons involved. They started this pretty well. From Cinderace's kicks to InteLEON's shots, we can see the difference from other MT battles in the expression of speed and impact in many cuts. The way InteLEON's Countershield repeatedly hits Gengar was perhaps the most interesting thing in terms of animation in this tournament so far. I also noticed an evolution on sound effects, if you use headphones when the rabbit and the chameleon are attacking you will hear some sounds that I don't think they've used before. We've also already seen plenty of references and combos from the games (like abilities playing a big part in the battle and Psychic Terrain + Expanding Force), as well as tactics based on the creative liberty of the show (like freezing Sludge Bomb and Inteleon shooting with both hands). Other details I liked: Details I didn't like: |
| Oh man ... Time to use THE WHOLE stuff we can in the fight. |
 |
| The little detail I loved is how Ash used max terror so Inteleon couldn't switch out anymore. |

| Finally the battle has started, but well they kinda seem on equal force with 1 pokemon out for Leon and 1 for Ash so far, it's gonna be kinda long I feel like |
 |
| The writers put Luffy in at 1:32. Cool cameo. I ALMOST teared up seeing TR prioritizing cheering for Ash over their job. The fight was actually pretty good, in contrast to previous matches in this tournament featuring Leon. Despite how OP his mons are, the guy does use some "strategies" here and there. |
 |
| Ohh so this is going to follow the Showdown's National Dex Anything Goes format, that'll be crazy! I didn't truly expect Leon's Cinderace to have Libero, it's very rare to see hidden abilities in the anime. That ability is annoying as hell when you don't know the moves. It's much worse for Ash, the 4 moves will most likely be too convenient for Leon lol Ash is not alone luckily, Dawn and Chloe are personally cheering him :P About the battles, nice detail from Ash to trap Inteleon. It's a very frail Pokemon defensively and not allowing Leon to switch it was very smart from him. Too bad Leon is just too strategic and he tied the match instantly with Mr. Rime. Though I'd say he got lucky with Freeze Dry's freeze hax in just 1st turn using it lol A nice start so far :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| So, it seems that it's getting interesting now, gotta catch up soon. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| So Ash will have Dragonite, Dracovish and Lucario fight against Dragapult? As usual, writers hype up Dante, despite he being a lame character |
| finally the battle has started, the hype is real. the start was good. Ash took down inteleon and Leon took down gengar. the abilities were shown perfectly both libero and after effects of daimax phantom (making it unable to switch). the cameos of galar gymleaders (ghost,dark and dragon type), oak lab, champions were alright. the pacing and animation were good. the next part is interesting too as seen from the preview. |
 |
| The battle animation is great!!!! Wooohh!! Go Satoshi-kun!! It's an even match. I'm excited about Satoshi-kun using Daimax, Zetto Waza, Mega Shinka. 😊😊 Same Musashi-san, Barrikohru is getting on my nerves too. 😂 |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| This was a great start for the battle, it will be 4 episodes (apparently) so it is very likely that it will end up being one of the best in all the Pokémon anime :D. PS: I really hope that more familiar characters will appear as the battle progresses <3... |
 |
| So we know Satoshi will use three pokemon next episode...I dont know how I feel about seeing Mega Lucario vs Dorapult. Makes me wonder who he will use Against Mega Charizard. I actually dislike Dande after that "I dedicate this win to Inteleon" Kinda cringe imo |

| A fun start. Goh high five with Tokio felt like he was punching his hand lol Nice reactions from Koharu and Dawn and I liked that Hop was with his brother before the battle. The Pikachu vs Cinderace clash even though it was brief it was so good to see. Gengar got to the spolight here and it did great (Marnie! Piers! Allister!) both Inteleon and Mr. Rime were showed as real threat so nothing to complain, they clearly put effort in that Gengar trying to avoid the Aqua Jet counter shield scene it looked very good. |
| Satoshi is doing very well!!! kekeke |
| Gigantamax Gengar is showing up again! It was a great battle. |

| Amazing start to the battle we have all been waiting for. I liked how everyone Ash has met so far is cheering him on and how Dawn even came in person. Pikachu and Cinderace were swapped out quick which was an interesting opening and tease for later in the battle. I'm glad Ash got the first K.O., though his Gengar was still taken down soon after. Looks like it will be a close battle going forward. |
 |
| Poor Tracey, he never says anything lmao Leon's decision to let Ash use all of the powerups was fantastic. We’re off to a good start. Gengar managed to defeat one of Leon’s pokemon. Dawn is also one of the most enthusiastic supporters. She knows how to cheer for Ash. |
 |
| I finally got here. Let the final battle begin! |
 |
| Damn what an amazing start to the finale. So many great scenes with some solid animation. |
