The battle with Paul is still my favorite Pokémon battle, Ash would keep losing to Paul and Infernape was abused by Paul for too long, but together they proved to Paul that their friendship and bond was what made them powerful in the first place.
@KenDaKingArrives3 ай бұрын
Paul proved to Ash that he had to take evolution and training as seriously as possible if he was ever going to reach the top. Ash winning by improving himself and his Pokémon without completely changing his methods had validated his training style and philosophy on Pokémon. It was a great battle, but on excitement factor and the stakes involved, there are a couple of contenders to beat it. We're all entitled to our opinions, though.

What would’ve made the battle better was if whoever won wins the pokemon league. A lot more would’ve been on the line since both Ash and Paul both lost pokemon leagues they were and if ash were lose then he would’ve have to re think his method of training pokemon

@richkee20245 ай бұрын
You can really see the change in writing after the Kalos League backlash... Ash almost never lost again after that, especially when using one of his Aces in an important match. Personally I was never too annoyed that the protagonist was never shown to be the #1 greatest trainer in the whole regional tournament, until Alola finally felt like the time to put him there, because it made the world feel bigger and less linear than the games which are entirely constructed to make you, the player, outgrow every opponent. Ash was always written as one of countless trainers with the same goal, not one player character surrounded by NPCs.

Honourable mentions: Ash vs Blaine, may vs drew (kanto), ash vs Nolan, Ash vs volkner (both times), ash vs wulfric, ash vs Clemont (best gym battle btw, peak character growth), ash vs korrina, ash vs Misty (Sun and moon) ash vs guzma, Iris vs Cynthia (masters 8), ash vs Bea (their 2nd battle, the one that ended in a draw) 10. Ash vs Alain. Even though he lost, I still love it. I don’t agree with the pacing issues, whenever I rewatch it it’s still a blast. The loss still stings, but the high quality animation makes you engrossed in the action and that final fight was so epic even though ash lost 9. Zoey vs Dawn. The only non-ash battle, partially because dawn is my favourite companion and this was a phenomenal contest. Even though she lost, this is where her growth was fully expressed. I mean this is basically ash vs Alain but dawn’s version 8. Ash vs gladion. I mean this battle made him champion, I mean this is all that needs to be said😂 7. Ash vs Brandon. Boi did I love seeing the kanto band back together and seeing pikachu defeat a legendary was so cool. I love this battle, proving that ash’s growth never stops and he always bounces back. 6. Ash vs Cynthia. Honestly could’ve had this much higher but I just wished she mega evolved her garchomp again. Whatever, what a great battle. Spiritomb was just as deadly in here as we all hoped for, taking down pikachu like it was nothing. Sir fetch’d was so peak here 5. Ash vs Gary, while the animation might be slightly outdated, the story was peak. Charizard performing a comeback for ash will always be iconic 4. Ash vs Sawyer. Somehow this battle is underrated imo. Sawyer had so many sick strategies from slaking to aegislash, and it was just an all round battle 3. Ash vs Paul. Peak storyline. Infernape beats his former kinda abusive trainer, what a sick arc, the amount of strategy in this battle is also insane and so many twists and turns. 2. Ash vs Leon. The battle that made ash champion was phenomenal. That Charizard v pikachu is the best 1v1 in Pokémon anime history, seeing all past companions and past Pokémon was peak. 1. Ash vs Kukui. If I’m correct, this is the longest Pokémon battle? Idk I don’t remember but I LOVED THIS!! It was the most pure fun I ever had, no tension nothing. Just pure fun between two trainers and idk what to say man. That final showdown awesome, torracat, awesome, naganadel beating lucario? I was all in for it

I think people overlook battles from other characters other than Ash. Contest battles have some interesting stuff, for example, and some are up there among the best in the series for me. May vs Drew in the Kanto Grand Festival is such a raw and intense battle. Nando vs Zoey in the DP saga as well, such a spectacle.
@oliverorchard67745 ай бұрын
Ash vs Kukui battle is the best considering the build up towards the battle and all the visuals making it an outright spectacle, not to mention each pokemon on Ash's team had great wins (except Lycanroc, but he won against Gladion's Lycanroc and won Ash the league, so he didn't need the spotlight as much lol). I also loved how the battle had incorporated all the people, traditions and customs of Alola that Ash learned to respect and hold on to during his time in the region.

For me... HM: May vs. Drew and Dawn vs. Zoey (Kanto and Sinnoh Grand Festivals) Ash vs. Maylene, Blaine, Clair, and Clemont (Gym Battles) Ash vs. Spencer and Anabel (Battle Frontier) Ash vs. Drake (Orange Islands) Ash vs. Brandon (Battle Pyramid) 10. Ash vs. Volkner and Ash vs. Cynthia (PWC Ultra Class/Master's Eight): I am putting them both here... For one reason... Lucario being an absolute beast in both! Taking down both Volkner's and Cynthia's main ace, Luxray and Garchomp, respectively... As well as Rotom and Togekiss... And taking damage from Electivire... Keeping in mind... He was facing Volkner's team for the first time in a match since evolving... And there's also Sirfetch'd.... And his gutsy performance against Cynthia as well... 9. Ash vs. Misty (Sun and Moon): I personally like this battle tbh... Shows off far both trainers and their best Pokemon have come... And how big a threat Misty is with her Mega Gyarados. 8. Ash vs. Alain (Kalos League): Pikachu is the highlight he's supposed to be here! But... Let's face it... Great finale, but Greninja should've won! #Justice4Greninja! 7. Ash vs. May (Battle Frontier): Most Underrated Battle ever... Sorry, not sorry... You bring the two main protagonists of a generation... Along with their fully-evolved aces... That have all grown as the series has progressed into an one-on-one battle (Even if it's in a contest)... You're doing something right, and it didn't disappoint! This is how a season and generation should end! 6. Ash vs. Sawyer (Kalos League): Great Buildup for a rivalry and for the final battle itself... However, the main problem I had with this battle was... Why did we need two quick draws? They didn't feel epic... Just meh.... I get why, kinda... But why...? 5. Ash vs. Gladion: Ash's first League Tournament win... And what an epic way to do it. An epic draw between Pikachu and Zoroark using their Z-Moves... Just after he bests another Legend... And Ash's Lycanroc finally defeating his rival... See, Kalos? That's how it should it have ended! 4. Ash vs. Gary (Johto League): The original OG Rival Battle... Charizard's epic Comeback, plus Snorlax being a beast! Plus a Pokemon Red/Blue and Stadium callback... All in one! Can't ask for more! 3. Ash vs. Paul (Sinnoh League): Infernape's.... VINDICATION...!!! 2. Ash vs. Leon (Master's Eight): Finally... "He's the best... Like noone ever was..." 1. Ash vs. Kukui (Alola League): Son figure... Beat Father figure... And fire cat finally becomes the master now and evolves! Hoorah!

Second fight with Brandon was way better, and Torkoal actually put up a great fight against Registeel(Torkoal gets sh*t on by alot of ppl so even though he lost he did better here than in the entirety of Hoenn). The 3rd and final battle with Brandon was top tier, proving how strong Brandon was and how strong the bond Ash had with his OG Kanto team. That last Volt Tackle on Regice was pure chef's kiss, great way to finish off the BF saga. 👍👍

honestly some of the battles mentioned here I'd forgotten about and others were further down the list then I excepted. for example I expected the top spots to be tied between ash vs paul, ash vs sawyer, ash vs professor kakui, and ash vs leon. On the whole though I agree with the list except i'd swap #1 and #2. Ash vs leon is my favorite over all cause it brings together just about everything ash has learned during his journey. Professor kakui is very strong (as one would expect of the closest thing the Alola region has to a frontier brain/champion) but i'd say Leon is just that little bit stronger. Plus kakui's team wasn't fully shown and he had effectively a deity battling in place of his last pokemon whereas Leons team was shown in its entirety. Just saying. That said two z moves per side in one versus two gigantamax pokemon in the other does make for a tough tie to break.

I'd switch Rank #1 with Rank #2, because Ash only defeated the unbeatable monarch Leon, but also won the tidal as world's strongest trainer. Plus I think that victory is what made him a Pokemon Master. Other than that the rest of the ranks are good.

I still think Cynthia is way ahead than other champs. If she have garchomp mega evolve, she could be the one to win against ash.

The Ash vs Alain defeat, truly hurt me deep down because Ash truly deserved to win in my opinion, call me salty all you want. But in my eyes, this made no sense making Ash lose, I will never watch pokemon after the Kalos region. I believe Ash should've won either the Sinnoh, Unova or Kalos league.

Just because Ash vs. Alain was only 2 episodes, doesn't make it a rushed battle. It was still a top tier match. It sounds like you're still salty about the loss.

Idk, I was thinking abt this take too. The high points (air fight, charizard vs greninja, bisharp & pikachu) were definitely high but you can also absolutely tell that a lot of mons got neglected as a result. Another episode of "filler" could have had metagross/noivern/goodra going out a bit more respectfully

The entire Kalos League was rushed so I can see why he said the battle felt rushed and it kinda was.

Orange League doesn't really have a Champion. In Japanese, Drake is called the "Head Leader", like a superior Gym Leader. Yeah, the Kalos League suffered from a lot of rushing, likely to make room for the Team Flare arc. At least Ash didn't lose to someone who was introduced just to beat him. A hot take: I know it wasn't likely meant to be seen in such way, but Pikachu essentially one-shots Regice with Volt Tackle, since it had just finished using Rest. After it had previously withstood multiple hits before needing to Rest, this seemed like an overly convenient one-shot rather than an epic finish to me. Cynthia using Dynamax made sense. She had used Mega Evolution before, so Ash was on his toes for it. But as Garchomp had taken a heavy blow from Sirfetch'd, Cynthia likely didn't want to use her battle gimmick on a weakened Pokémon, so she instead decided to Dynamax Togekiss in order to weaken Lucario so that Garchomp could fight it on an even footing. I didn't mind Cinderace going down that fast. It was essentially the glass cannon of Leon's team. Thank you for putting Ash vs Kukui at the top. It's definitely one of my Top 2 favorite battles as well, just behibd Ash vs Leon, I think. Some people don't appreciate it having no stakes, but stakes were not the main point of this battle to begin with. It was what the entire SM series was about: having fun as a family. What I like the most about the Full Battles of SM and Journeys is that there wasn't a spotlight stealer. If you look at battles like Ash vs Gary, Ash vs Paul, and Ash vs Alain, the recurring theme is that Ash's teams have "jobbers", Pokémon that don't contribute to anything to the battle other than be defeated. Goodra and Noivern in the Kalos League are particularly clear examples. In Alola and Journeys, though, Ash's entire teams contributed in some way, especially against Kukui (where only Lycanroc didn't get a KO, but it still won Ash the League earlier, so it's fine) and Leon (where, while not all of his Pokémon got KOs, each of them still contributed to the battle in a meaningful and impactful way).
