- Toritodon vs. Buoysel
- Bossgodora vs. Goukazaru. We also see Goukazaru using its new move.

Flash Cannon from Aggron it would seem.

Also, it was confirmed that Infernape has a blue Flare Blitz. So no Blast Burn as far as we can tell right now. Might come in the 3rd Act.

Potential Body Slam? (thanks Ryu)

i'm really curious to see how they draw this out over three episodes.

but i am really glad jun is sticking around for more interesting and unique (and spazzed out) commentary than just the regular spectators would provide XD

Glion JUST has to have a few new moves up its sleeve, it hopefully wasn't slacking around while it was training. XD

Ah well, Gastrodon looks pretty beast here. And staraptor looks...troubled D:

I'm guessing that Gastrodon wanted a break, but the ground was too hard to get comfortable on.
 
Re: DP 186 "Rival Decisive Battle! Satoshi VS Shinji!!" Preview Thread

I'm surprised Infernape is being used this early in the battle.
Also, Top 8? :(
 
Re: DP 186 "Rival Decisive Battle! Satoshi VS Shinji!!" Preview Thread

Ouch. Poor Staraptor. But it looks like Gastrodon isn't completely immobile on land. Bit tricky to wrap my head around the idea, though.
 
Re: DP 186 "Rival Decisive Battle! Satoshi VS Shinji!!" Preview Thread

Looks like Ash won't get very much. I'm not sure I'm liking the outcome either.

I don't think Buizel is going to get anything, since it's up against Gastrodon and Drapion and we know Staraptor is likely going to beat Gastrodon.

Kinda sucks that this is Top 8, but I'm really not surprised.
 
Re: DP 186 "Rival Decisive Battle! Satoshi VS Shinji!!" Preview Thread

Seeing how much Ash switched in his battle against Conway, we can expect the same to happen here...So I can't really tell what pokemon Ash knocks out with who or even if Paul will knock anyone out D:

Why doesn't Infernape just mach punch that aggron? X4 weakness! lol.
 
Re: DP 186 "Rival Decisive Battle! Satoshi VS Shinji!!" Preview Thread

Now Staraptor knows how Bellsprout felt.

Can't wait for this episode, Gliscor and Torterra are being kept for later it seems...

So that means if this 1/4 final the will skip semifinal and make the final match Ash VS LT trainer.

Where was this idea of the Legendary Trainer battle being the final battle conceived?

Some jurks who have thought that a 6 VS 6 battle can be skipped -_-

Most people thought that both Ash, and Dawn would get Top 2 this saga. Also the fact it's a legendary, it seems like a battle suited for the final.
