Energy X

True, but still, at least have Barry defeat one of his pokemon. Or have a tanky pokemon like Weezing or Tangrowth.

It was actually just supposed to be shown strong.

And how do they show a pokemon strong?

Make it survive anything.

Anime rarely goes with the game strategies and stats, pokemon anime is for entertainment and enjoyable stuff "kids" and kids don't care about strategies, attack, defense, speed etc.....all they care is what attracts their attention i.e., some really strong and heavy moves and blasts and funny movements etc...

Here's one dumb episode from Pokemon Sun and Moon Ultra Legends, Rowlet swallowed the Everstone that prevent it from ever evolving 😠😡 just for the new moved Egg Bomb. Serious it's the worst and dumb episode which I hate it.

@Gligorvic I know. Certain people wanted to Rowlet to evolve but instead we got Hau's Dartrix to evolve into Decidueye. If he didn't ate that Everstone of his and learned Seed Bomb, maybe Ash should've had a Decidueye by now, just like he had an Incineroar of his own.

Anime isn't related to pokemon

This was simply meant as a joke, that's all. The anime has shown that a pokemon's levels and experience do exist, so I was pointing out how this thiing could tank this many hits.

I think you mean that the anime isn't related to the games that well.

Evil bear.
