>Lance the master of dragons
>known in both the anime and the games for his powerful dragonite(s)
>finals of pokemon world championship, title matchup against the strongest champion there is
>lol fuck dragonite I'm bringing gyarados
Why gamefreak?

>but muh type advantage
Type advantages don't matter in the anime. Remember onyx getting rekt by lightning moves? Remember charmander losing to parasect? Even if we were to apply game logic, dragonite is still the 100% better pick. Charizard is faster than gyarados and has thunder punch to OHKO it. Dragonite has multiscale and stone edge to live any hit and OHKO back.

>but muh leon shilling
Makes no sense. If they wanted to wank leon, they should have had him shit on lance at his peak. If he beat lance when both were bringing their A game nobody would question how strong leon is, but because lance brought gyara the battle became a joke.

There is literally NO REASON for them to have lance bring gyarados there. Its retarded. The ashnime is so fucking cringe I can't take it anymore. Its literally written by retards.
