Chinese leaks say Ash is going to surprise everyone in the final. He will keep the ff:
>Sirfetch'd
>Gengar
>Dragonite (after encouraging her and saying she'll have her time to shine)
Lucario, Dracovish, and Pikachu are asked if it's okay, and they're satisfied and entrusting the Final to their friends.
Ash is bringing in these 3:
>Mr. Mime (learning from Diantha, using screens to reduce the damage from either Rillaboom or Charizard)
>Infernape (after begging Ash to fight, and Gengar and the fire crew, along with Prof Oak, ask him to do it)
>Greninja (he already thought about switching him in with one of the PM mons, talking telepathically back in Kalos, if he ever reached the Final)
The final is restricted to 2 gimmicks, not 3, and Leon is going to use the Gmax/Dmax gimmick twice: one for Charizard, and one for Mr Rime.
Leon's other Pokemon are:
>Rillaboom
>Dragapult
>Aegislash
>Seismitoad
Rillaboom will be obliterated by a tag team of Mr. Mime, Sirfetch'd and Infernape. Ash will use screens and switching to deal with him. He learned from both Diantha and Cynthia here.
Mr. Rime will sorta be the MVP for Leon, clearing out screens and just overall being a tricky opponent. Mr Mime jobs to Rime.
Dragonite deals with Dragapult using Kairyuseigun, but loses to Mr Rime.
Sirfetch'd destroys Aegislash with Kalos League Pikachu-like tactics. However, he's checked by Charizard. Leon is fully prepared and Charizard manages to dodge a Star Assault. Duck is fried with a big flamethrower. Fuck you, Charizard.
