>>51484902>>51484907>Getting outplayed means you made a mistakeA strategy not working doesn't mean it was a mistake, at least not when he was trying to implement it because there was no way for him to know it wouldn't work.
>Diantha not getting overconfident isn't "outplaying"Fine, then call it not falling for his bait.
>He had other options where the numbers were more on his sideAnon, by your logic Hydreigon was faster than Gyara(I disagree, and believe that they were pretty equal as shown in the episode), so how in the fuck would Gyara land a hit on a Garde that countered a faster Hydra's attacks, at least with the secret weapon strat he tried to compensate for the defensiveness of Garde by using bait to get Diantha to drop her guard.
>silly things like hoping Diantha would have a brain fart for no reasonBetter than sending his slow-ass Gyara, by your estimate at least, to die to probably Thunderbolt.
>A good strategy is one that has answers for various factorsThe Hydra play was specifically a counter to Garde.
>all based entirely on the events of the showExcept for Lance's line that you disregard by claiming it's a mistranslation and didn't even bother to explain what the actual line, while insisting that it isn't what is said in the subtitles.
>zero evidence of this "secret weapon flash cannon" theoryAnon, there is no evidence to be had but a simple logical inference as to why Lance did things the way he did based on the events in the episode. Also, to clarify since it seems to be triggering you, the "secret weapon" term is just a meme based on Cameron calling his Hydra his secret weapon, you can disregard it and use any other term you like if it's bothering you that much, but the point of how it was utilized still stands.
>he could have wanted Gyarados to knock out Gourgeist to get an attack boostAnd do nothing with it because of it being a slow ass, by your judgment.
>with zero evidenceExcept Lance's own words. (3/6)
