>>39412701>Mallow have the most battle experience out of the remaining classmates.What? Her victory records include only team rocket a couple of times and a random persian, hardly impressive. While Lana defeated Totem Wishiwashi, Ash defeated Totem Lurantis while Mallow just watched. While Lana was busy taming a Kyogre, Mallow was cooking. Mallow was never a fighter and she was always carried (sounds like Lillie, huh?).
>>39412701>During the Gym battle with Misty, Mallow was the one confident they would win, compared to Lana who was nervous, hell she even made the first move.Watch that again, Lana volunteered to fight Misty then Mallow tagged along. Lana was not nervous at all during the fight and in fact almost defeated psyduck, but Mallow messed it up by triggering psyducks headache.
>>39412701>And her Tsareena has always been a powerhouse, who’s battled more than any of the other classmates’ Pokémon, not including Ash and Kiawe.Tsareena seemed strong because she never had a challenge. Lana had experience fighting totem pokemon and being in life or death situations, Mallow was just never even close her level. As for the quantity, I am pretty sure that's wrong as well.
>>39412701>Mallow’s skills as a trainer were shifted on and her character as a whole was shifted. She’s suddenly made into a nervous wreck and her Tsareena is suddenly made weak.No. As said above, Mallow was never made to be strong and never had hard battle challenges. And she was shown to be easily flustered and escape from her problems as early as episode 39.
There was no shift, you just misjudged the character because you were infatuated with her trash waifu ass.
