Review BW113: The Foggy Sangi Ranch! Denryu's Light!!

It was to make the Ampharos stronger so it would take care of the Mareep better, not letting them escape.

Ampharos already knew Thundershock to herd the Mareep, so why did it need to master Thunderpunch in particular?

Ampharos was never shown to be able to herd the Mareep with Thundershock. We saw it trying to prevent a Mareep from wandering off, but that turned out badly with Ampharos being shocked by it, because as the CoTD said, it needed Thunderpunch to prevent the Mareep from wandering off. Learning Thunderpunch made it stronger, and thus be a better leader that could herd the Mareep.

For me, it was a pretty mediocre episode, that was alright, but not enthralling. One of its nice touches was the assimilations Mareep had to sheep. As in, Meowth falling asleep whilst counting Mareep is a method used for kids to go to sleep, just with sheep instead. Also that the Mareep follow the ray of light very willingly without hesitation or question, even when they are climbing into a cage with unfamiliar figures on top of it. I thought that was certainly a neat way to show their nature.
 
Nice filler,, reminds me of johto fillers(there many were boring).. Humorous when Ampharos tries to herd mareep but ends up getting shocked.. Atlast it was TR,, which again helps the episode to end in a good note by completing the reason why its been created..
