Yeah. But Torracat would've had a type advantage and have been an evolved Pokémon mBut...Rowlet DID have a type advantage.

Congratulations!After all those years of watching the English episodes (and refusing to watch the Japanese ones), I recently decided to finally switch over to the Japanese episodes (Yes, it finally happened!!)
Hau lost to the entire cast of Pokémon Sun and Moon?Can't believe Hau lost to some idiot who didn't even bring a full team to the league
...boy, that sure sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Plot armor at its most blatant.The more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm realizing how incredibly lucky Ash was. After all, he was on the verge of losing three times. First, when Decidueyes Z-Move only hit Rowlet's cloak, second after the two Flying-type attacks clashed and Rowlet miraculously only fell asleep (ok that smelled like Deues ex machina to be honest) and third, when Rowlet learned that Feather Dance/ Substitute move at the very last moment.
If Ash had lost, he couldn't have complained, given how incredibly lucky he was. So yes, I can see why some fans are angry.
But still, I like the episode pretty much. Let's just hope the next battles are more ..."balanced"
Not really, considering how Decidueye escaped Rowlet's Z-Move by simply flying slightly sideways, and how Rowlet is getting trapped constantly.The more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm realizing how incredibly lucky Ash was.

Rowlet being trapped by a trapping move is perfectly reasonable though, even when it could escape easily, it got trapped. So its more on Rowlet’s ineptitude than bad luck.and how Rowlet is getting trapped constantly.
Either way, it's forced writing to show Hau and Juniper as competent rivals.Rowlet being trapped by a trapping move is perfectly reasonable though, even when it could escape easily, it got trapped. So its more on Rowlet’s ineptitude than bad luck.
And it was forced writing to show Rowlet winning the way it did.Either way, it's forced writing to show Hau and Juniper as competent rivals.
Obviously. Rowlet should win it easily, instead of the complicated way they showed. Decidueye's dodging the Z-Move was ridiculously easy, Rowlet stupidly trapped same way twice in front of its trainer's eyes, etc.And it was forced writing to show Rowlet winning the way it did.
Three times, actually.Rowlet stupidly trapped same way twice in front of its trainer's eyes, etc.
I doubt Rowlet is that much stronger than Decidueye. Hau took on grand trials and trained while it was sleeping. Evolving two times is a mark of training, too.Obviously.

Some judgments have been interrupted before being completed, but never before has there been a case like this, as far as I know.-has this ever happened before where a match was called one way and then there was a technicality or something...I’m gonna need some anipoke historians to do some research
Nah. Future titles have confirmed Kiawe will win, which was to be expected, to be honest.-really rooting for Kiawe to win this battle...but I wouldn’t be surprised if the writers had Sophocles win just for shock value and developing his character...they know both these characters are doomed to lose anyways, so they can go either way with who wins/loses this battle :0
Lana will lose. That is clear by future episode summaries.-as for next week, I’m not eager at all to see Lana lose to Guzma, but maybe I should hold on to some small sliver of hope that they won’t do my girl completely dirty...
It only one won, while Rowlet used in many different trials.I doubt Rowlet is that much stronger than Decidueye. Hau took on grand trials and trained while it was sleeping. Evolving two times is a mark of training, too.

It did help with meltan's situation and battled ryukiAnd, for all we know, Decidueye was used in the Melemele trial and grand trial. And that had to have happened recently. Meanwhile, as V pointed out, Rowlet has spent most of the time since it defeated Dartrix sleeping (including during his training session in the episode before) and the last time it was used in a trial/grand trial was during the Akala trip, which happened about two years ago.
With that kind of context, Rowlet being bulky enough to take tons of attacks from its evolved form, as well as it being powerful enough to take Decidueye out in just two hits is beyond farfetched.
Remember when Ash’s battles were good, demonstrated his skill as a trainer along with his Pokémon’s growth and not either won by pure plot armor or gags? Pepperidge Farm remembers.Plot armor at its most blatant.

So do I. So do I...Remember when Ash’s battles were good, demonstrated his skill as a trainer along with his Pokémon’s growth and not either won by pure plot armor or gags? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
