They are really pushing the point that Ash is fighting for all his Pokémon instead of just his main team this time. He’s applying experience from his other Pokémon into this battle, so we may or may not see some old strategies being used here, or cameos of Ash’s old Pokémon.
Also says Ash powered up Dragon Rush and Will-o-Wisp which will be used to counter Steven’s astronomically strong defenses. They hype Steven up as the “Iron Wall” of the Masters 8, no one has been capable of beating his defenses.
