Why? Since the episode won't air for over a week we can assume the magazine is just stating the current state of the Master Class.
I think we can safely say that Flint is out

Isn't only one gimmick allowed ?My guess based on everything I've heard or seen thus far, (including what the Chinese leaker said,) is: Dragonite and Flygon briefly clash, with Dragonite taking quite a bit of damage from both Flygon's attacks whilst also hampered by the sandstorm. Dragonite is then recalled in favor of Gengar. Gengar also struggles to hit Flygon in the sandstorm, so Ash Gigantamaxes it and one of two things then happen (or both things.) Gengar cancels out Flygon's sandstorm with Max Hailstorm or just beats Flygon with it outright, or just from its Max moves in general. Then Goodra comes out, presumably takes some damage from Gengar's attacks but ultimately outlasts Gengar and defeats it. Then Goodra and Dragonite duke it out (I'm guessing quite a brief clash at this point, there probably won't be that much time left in the episode for a protracted battle between them,) and knock each other out. And then from there it's Mega Lucario against Gigantamax Duralodon (and we all know how that's going to end.)
Since it's Gigantamax Duraludon, that's not Wyrmwind, but its signature G-Max Move.People complain about this episode's bad animation, but something about that Max Wyrmwind ( i think that's what GMax Duraludon is using ? ) and Dragonite slapping Flygon really pleases me .
Correct.Isn't only one gimmick allowed ?
I fear the master's 8 tourney simply because Cynthia is in it and no matter who she looses to there will be mass complaining from the internet because its Cynthia and people are too hung up over the fact that they had trouble beating her in gen 4.
Anyways on the gimmick, assuming only one is still allowed it feels weird for them to do this whole "what is he gonna use!" thing when it would be dumb not to use mega evolution given Lucario just learned how to do a new... thing.
You're likely correct, even though people getting upset because of someone whose main role in the source material is to lose getting defeated in an adaptation is peak internet.I fear the master's 8 tourney simply because Cynthia is in it and no matter who she looses to there will be mass complaining from the internet because its Cynthia and people are too hung up over the fact that they had trouble beating her in gen 4.
I have a feeling she'll be one of Ash's Master 8 opponent, due to the end of the Volkner match.I've mostly accepted that Cynthia is almost certainly going to go up against Leon and lose. It's just the most straighforward narrative direction given that Leon's beaten Lance, Raihan, and Flint already. Beating them again isn't that impressive.
Since this is the episode where this season's Masters Eight will be set in stone, I wonder if the end of the episode will contain a reveal regarding who those eight Trainers are. I wouldn't be surprised, and would actually very much like that kind of reveal.
Ash vs Cynthia is 100% going to happen. No idea why people think Cynthia will battle Leon.I've mostly accepted that Cynthia is almost certainly going to go up against Leon and lose. It's just the most straighforward narrative direction given that Leon's beaten Lance, Raihan, and Flint already. Beating them again isn't that impressive.
And the remakes certainly aren't gonna help, seeing how they straight up give her team perfect IVs, EV training in the stats that best suit their roles (Garchomp having max Speed and Attack, for example), good Natures (Garchomp is Jolly), and held items that either synergize with their strategies or just give an excellent advantage (Milotic holds a Flame Orb to activate Marvel Scale and Garchomp holds a Yache Berry to mitigate the ice weakness). Basically a competitive team. This arguably makes Cynthia one of the, if not the toughest boss fight in the franchise outside of battle facilities.I fear the master's 8 tourney simply because Cynthia is in it and no matter who she looses to there will be mass complaining from the internet because its Cynthia and people are too hung up over the fact that they had trouble beating her in gen 4.
tbh, Ash beating Cynthia is probably the outcome that I feel is likely to cause the least backlash, so imo that'd be the most ideal scenario. Other Champions are seen as either "too weak" (such as Iris and Diantha) or are highly polarizing characters (Leon. Like, oh god, if Leon turns out to be the one to eliminate Cynthia from the tournament it'd likely cause a backlash of Mega Charizard X vs Ash-Greninja levels and I don't think I'm strong enough to survive another thing like that lol...)You're likely correct, even though people getting upset because of someone whose main role in the source material is to lose getting defeated in an adaptation is peak internet.
