That did basicly nothing
by using Iron Defense which is the same as Protect in the anime.
Every single Pokemon does that in a match.
That did nothing
That is what those attacks do.
So it just used a deux-ex maxchina Fire Spin.
So what?
It probably just pretended to be hurt to taunt Torkoal to show it how weak it was.
It just did little chip damage. The reason they were comparable is cuz Lycanroc attacked it.
It goes more on objective territory when it comes to certain Pokemon because if one person says that Oshawott is stronger than Charizard that is not true despite that's his/her opinion. I agree that there should be some subjectivity in some Pokemon that are close to each other like I think Charizard > Sceptile but Sceptile could be > Charizard.
Yes but the reason it could beat it was the damage from Lycanroc and Melmetal
Not really, Melmetal didn't do almost anything, he used Double Iron bash and Incineroar stopped it, maybe his arms hurt a little. Lycanroc didn't actually hurt him per say, just cut his arm with sharp stone. It's different than a full hit. Like Torracat hitting him with Flame Charge is actual hit( full body hit) until Double Iron Bash where he stopped it with hands and got cut by stone.
That dealt a lot of damage.
If you look really closely you can see Rowlet between 8th and 9th place.
Well they're pretty strong pokemon, despite not having many feats. Naganadel has a BST of 540 and has a great moveset with powerful moves. It was able to keep up with Tapu-Koko even after being weakened by Lucario and even landed a direct hit on it. Besides Kukui's Lucario is still a fairly strong pokemon. It was also able to take a lot of punishment during the match (CC+Extremespeed+2 dazzling gleams). That's really impressive, especially given Tapu's speed and power. So he's fast, strong and reasonably bulky all at once.
I don't think the show takes into account Base Stats Totals. Remember, the Games =/= the anime. Levels and stats don't exist in the show.
I mean they apply to some extent, as they're part of the pokemon's anatomy.
True. Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, who does have the highest BST in the games?
Technically it's Ash-Greninja (640) but after that it's a tie between Goodra, Melmetal and now Dragonite (all 600).
What about the lowest? I can imagine it's one of the unevolved Pokemon.
Ok this one was more tricky, but the lowest one was Gible at 300. Then it's a tie between Corphish, Snivy and Oshawott (all 308) followed by Totodile and Squirtle (both 314), then Bulbasaur (318) and finally Rowlet (320). Not gonna lie I'm surprised at how different starters can have different BSTs, thought they were all be constant.
