He's got three fully-evolved Pokemon, including Umbreon, which he's had since childhood, while Ash has one and Gladion spends all his time training, not messing around.Umbreon's main move is Shadow Ball, and earlier in the series that Shadow Ball did nothing to two fully-evolved Psychic types.
In last week's episode, Ash's Lycanroc was only barely defeated, despite being a much younger and more inexperienced Pokemon than Gladion's.
Ash needs to figure out some way to deal with setup sweepers, because in both battles where Gladion used Swords Dance he acted like a surprised retard.
