That detail about Ash-Greninja during the Olympia battle was wild!! I don’t think I ever noticed that!!😱😱 I can honestly agree with all the picks on this list! They all feel valid and worthy of being on the list! If only Ash Vs Clemont was higher and Ash Vs Korrina was on the list😤😤 I’m playing lol. Love ur list regardless. So many great moments and a great trip down memory lane! Amazing video for #WorldAshKetchumDay’🔥🔥😁
I agree with the list. Honestly, the wulfric battle was a spectacle to behold. The action sequence were just too good. I was confused why abamasnow was final pokemon but boy oh boy,why I saw the stone I was like,"WTF?!". And that final kick to the ceiling and greninjq doing its signature hand fold landing was very satisfying
It's so good. Had the same reaction at the surprise Mega Evolution. It wasn't even something I thought could possibly happen, like Mega Abomasnow just wasn't something I thinking about
My favourite Ash gym battle was Ash vs Korrina as it was that Ash was finally able to beat A Lucario the Pokemon he had to struggle against the last two Gens.
Fully agree with your list. But seriously , I noticed Ash-greninja in the Olympia battle for the first time . I mean. Wow. I’m speechless. It was a really good battle. I was actually going to comment Ash vs Korrina not being in the list but I agreed with the point you mentioned about that dance battle style. Also thankyou for having Roxie gym battle in top 3. I always felt that it was an underrated gym battle🙌🙌
I had absolutely no idea about the Ash-Greninja thing during Ash vs Olympia until I read about it online lol. I probably had seen it twice and it never registered to me. Now I cannot unsee it! I am surprised that I have only gotten support so far with my Roxie ranking, I think it is really great but I was expecting a lot of people to tell me otherwise haha
Fun List! I think it would be hard for me to pick a favorite....I love XY and XYZs gym battles a lot so my #1 would probably be one of those. If Gen 6 wouldnt exist, my favorite would probably be Ash vs Maylene though
My favorite gym battle is Vs wulfric. I rewatched that gym battle so many times im a huge fan of the xy gym battles Ash vs wulfric Ash vs clemont Ash vs korinna Ash vs clair Ash vs maylene Ash vs skyla Ash vs clay Like most people im a major xy stan. That has a little story with it
@@EliteTrainerMark ooooh my 5th fav is ash vs olympia like Vs wulfric Vs clemont Vs Olympia Vs Korinna Vs Clair I rewatched the frogadier kame kame ha I agree with the number 1 spot. Xy got me through stuff i miss gym battles
I agree with the majority of the list but I’d be remised if I didn’t mention my slight problems with the battles against Roxie and Wulfric. For me, they are great battles in a vacuum but go down on my list when you consider as a wider part of the series… Okay, so I can’t get past the 6v3 battle with Roxie, especially when it seems the battle only really gets started when Ash chooses Leavanny. It could have been a great 4 on 4 (give Roxie a Seviper or Muk) and then there’d be nothing distracting me from what is an otherwise good battle. Wulfric’s battle is fantastic and I’ve nothing bad to say about Greninja vs Abomasnow. You mention that Avalugg destroyed Ash in the first battle - Avalugg did this by sustaining itself with Ice Body and Avalanche. How did Ash overcome this? He didn’t. Wulfric just didn’t use Ice Body or Avalanche in the second battle, it seems to ignore the first battle. Bergmite could’ve used Hail so Avalugg could make use of Ice body… I’m not thrilled about Bergmite either - It really seems like they just shoved it into the battle because it was a Pokémon but hadn’t had any kind of major role. Cryognal or even Mamoswine would have been better. So I’m the end, I think vs Roxie falls out my top 10 (probably still top 20) and vs Wulfric is probably only in my top 5 with vs Olympia being my absolute favourite gym battles.
Nice! I can't disagree with too much of that. I like the 6v3 dynamic of Ash vs Roxie because it showed just how strong Roxie is. As for Wulfric, he did use Avalanche a few times in the second battle, but you're right about Avalugg not taking advantage of Ice Body.
MY OPINION: 1. Ash VS Olympia 2.Ash VS Wulfric [REMATCH] 3.Ash VS Claire [REMATCH] 4.Ash VS Clemont 5.Ash VS Volkner 6.Ash VS Korrina 7.Ash VS Blaine [REMATCH] 8.Ash VS Juan 9.Ash VS Brycen 10.Ash VS Jasmine Roxie is in TOP 15 and Maylene is in TOP 20 in my list!
Solid list. Glad that you included a bunch of underrated battles (Jasmine, Clair, Juan, Brycen, Roxie) Didn't expect the number 1 though haha and I'm surprised there's no mention of Lt. Surge, which I'm not mad about. Overall, fantastic editing and banger music!
Thanks! Lt. Surge did not even enter my mind when thinking of contenders lol, I think Ash vs Blaine is like 3x better and I already talked about how I felt about Ash vs Blaine haha. Pikachu vs Bergmite alone was a better battle than other of Ash's matches vs Lt. Surge or Blaine, at least in my opinion. Anyways, glad you enjoyed the video!
@@EliteTrainerMark Yesss hahaha I didn't particularly enjoy Ash vs. Surge that much either, it's just that people seem to praise that battle a lot haha
As soon as I heard the Ash-Greninja theme, I knew that the number one spot would be Ash vs. Wulfric!! That’s my favorite Gym Battle!! A very close second is Ash vs Olympia, because, like you said, it’s stunning to watch and has a sneak peek of Ash-Greninja, which is phenomenal!!
Lol I was watching your other video from last week I kissed when I got this notification! CONGRATS ON 3K YOU DESERVE IT! Your the best anime review channel, way better than Zac's in my opinion. No offense to Lumiose Trainer Zac and his fans.......
let's go for 10k first, who know how big my channel will get to though haha. Also, I think my face has already been in 2 videos that are on this channel!
I personally like ash vs guzma, albeit not an actual gym battle it still is a symbolic checkpoint for ash's battling skills towards the end of the alola league
I’d like to see Ash challenge all the Galar gym leaders in battles for training before he goes to the master 8 battles which will most likely be in Galar. Maybe about a month before the master class battles as gets to train and prepare.
I haven't watched any Gym Battles at all, so I have no favorites. But I feel like I would agree with most of these picks when I do watch them. I don't mind Ash vs Roxie being on the list. Roxie's just one of the strongest Gym Leaders. I'd say she's Top 3. And watching this video gave me a stupid idea that they stopped Gym Battles after XY because they realized that they peaked, especially with Ash vs Wulfric. Seriously, are there any bad XY Gym Battles that Ash won?
@@EliteTrainerMark And Ash losing isn't that great by nature, so would you say that XY had the best Gym Battles? And once it's great that Ash Ketchum Day is still happening.
Oh XY easily had the best Gym Battles. A lot of people's top 10 lists will have like 5+ XY battles. Anyways, I hope you one day get the chance to watch all of the Gym Battles and the rest of the anime, it's always better to come up with your own ideas and opinions rather than just agree with what others say
In platinum my 2 aces by the time i blew cynthias team into the stratosphere was actually luxray and infernape (luxray wasn't on my team when i beat her as i was training other pokemon under the incorrect usumpsion she would be hard as her spiritomb and lucario were the only pokemon that got an atk of let alone ko'd anything (spiritomb crit out my roserade and lucario knocked out half my team (ironically loosing to roserade after revival herb) after getting a half health -4 def extreme speed on my infernape who had blitzed everything else on her team other than her garchomp who was ranged by close combat but 2 shot by brick break after it went for stone edge (it missed) despite not having a air balloon on my infernape))
I know the Indigo League was the first season of the anime and not everything was terrible but I hate what they did to the Kanto Gym Battles most of them were so pathetic compared to the other regions.
@@EliteTrainerMark Even the Unova Gym Battles seem better compared to Kanto I just hope Ash gets to have redemption battles with the Kanto Gym Leaders during Pokemon Journeys.
It might be my anti XY bias but i don’t see most of the gym battles to be that good I still feel like XY was flash but no substance Wulfric was just ok
Fun list but not liking it so your next review video gets more likes, because I watched that one first. Still leaving a comment for the algorithm I guess.
Liking this video *would help* get my next review more likes. Any video that I post, the more likes it gets, the more likely my videos will get recommended to others. So ideally, just like and comment on every video you watch haha. The real top 10 battle that got left off this list was youtubers vs the algorithm
@@EliteTrainerMark True but this was entirely in response to you saying you'd be sad if this got less attention than your review of the blue pokemon episode, so for that alone I have to support the effort.
Just depends on how you determine what makes a good battle. Certainly XY battles have a lot of differences compared to older series, so it just depends what you value in a Pokémon battle.
