>>38661003>XY literally has him develop tactics and have foresight of somethings before heading into gyms.Nope, even Johto and Hoenn Ash shown to develop tactics and actually teach his pokemon new moves. XY Ash never shown any level of tactical foresight than Paul had shown in the anime.
>The Rain Dance and Water Shuriken thing is kind of mootI was talking about Goodra, not Greninja.
Goodra ability was Hydration which heal any status condition under raining therefore Rain dance was a necessary move for it. While Thunder does not miss during Rain dance which makes a perfect move for Goodra to learn specially since Ground type pokemon loses their electric immunity if they are wet in the anime.
>but the complaints you're bringing up are kind of ridiculous.The only one who being ridiculous is you since you don't seem to understand the significant of Rain Dance to Goodra due to its ability Hydration. Furthermore you actually claim Rain Dance to be a field changing move when Rain Dance is a powering up move that strengthen water type attack.
