Iris could have won in the anime had Cynthia not used mega evolution Edit: y'all forget that the pokemon anime doesn't follow logic or who has more experience and are taking my comment way too seriously
Nope, Iris never got close to winning: Excadrill was being destroyed by Gastrodon, it was needed a OHKO move to take her down Milotic destroyed dragonite And Garchomp ONE SHOTED haxorus Cynthia humiliated iris, she was lucky to hit horn drill other wise it would end like leon vs alain
@viniciusvini981 it's anime dude they don't follow logic they had to make her lose so that Ash could win the whole thing and finally get taken out of the damn show
