>>54962418This is true, and people are dumb for bitching about it while completely ignoring the context. However, what's also true is that just 9 episodes later, that same rookie completely wiped the floor with Pikachu with his extremely recently caught party, with absolutely no contextual excuses for why this could be possible. And that was some bullshit.
I have no idea why people bitch about muh level 5 Snivy beating a nearly dead Pikachu but never even fucking mention a level 20 at most Servine beating a totally healthy Pikachu
