Even a weakened Tapu Koko was stronger than Pikachu, who could beat Regice and Latios, when the entire theme of SM was the development of Ash and Pikachu’s bond and strength hence the rivalry with Tapu Koko since the first episode of SM.
Sceptile beating a Darkrai owned by a fairly generic trainer after Heracross fought it at length (as well as the rest of the team) isn’t impressive relative to Naganadel. Charizard beating Articuno is dogshit when Go could match and overpower an amped Zapdos. You aren’t going to fucking tell me Articuno is anywhere near Guzzlord-Level or Necrozma-Level, both Pokemon that Tapu Koko scales to.
