>>57247065>not points and numbers like the games"The school of Hard Knock" already confirmed the point and Number exists in the anime.
>Ash's mons which usually only have a few months' experience at most yet were able to compete with highly experienced, E4/Champion-level mons.While the player's pokemon only need three hours for their pokemon to reach Champion tier. While Ash needs unknown number of months to level up. On OS series, two months passed between episode 09 so how many times you think passed between JN 21 to JN 124?
>(e.g. electrocuting ground types and Motor Drive users).Electrpcuting ground type is results of bad writing where writers themselves forget type match up as shown by Brock's Crogunk KO a Steel type like Scizor with a poison jab. It happened to other characters and not exclusively to Ash's Pikachu.
Also the game confirmed that Motor Drive as a limit and Pikachu's Z-move was over that limit.
>Alain's zard beating HoundoomIf type matchup mattered than Alain's Charizard shouldn't able to KO a Fire type with a Blast Burn. Even Roy's Crocalor KO a ground Paradox pokemon with Flamethrower.
If You are talking about gap between Champion & regular trainer then why don't we talk about Geeta's Glimmora losing to newbie trainer's Floragato's Magical Leaf when Steven's Metagross could tank Blast Burns from a Mega Charizard X.
>The heavy damage only applies if the user moves first and Ash's Dracovish is pretty slowDude, Dragonvish's Fishious Rend gets receive 50% boost from Strong Jaw and another 50% boost from STAB. Furthermore in the anime, Ash doesn't need to rely on Speed Star to move first, he just need timing.
>Nope Dragonite charges into the opponent directlyBut the Meteor it uses are still Special and there is no point of Dragonite charging at the opponents if the Meteor it's using gotten weaken. Its not different than Dragonite charging at somebody without using any moves.
