>>58710415They were trying to pretend it was close, none of Ash's Pokemon were even close in power to Holactie, Solgaleo was the strongest thing Ash had, but it would have been overwhelm, and really should have instantly, Solgaleo has the power of the sun, while Holactie created the Yu-Gi-Oh multiverse
The only Pokemon that arguably is comparable is Arceus, and I mean the theoretical true Arceus, and not just the avatars we see in game
Even then since Holactie's whole thing is to instantly win a match when summoned, unless they gave True Arceus some shit like that, it would likely end the same
Not even getting into the fact anime canon Arceus is a jobber who almost died to a meteor, and the whole "Arceus is actually just an avatar of a higher TRUE Arceus" has only ever been established in the game canon
