Phew. Someone talented at the rudder for a change.

So a full battle written by Atsuhiro Tomioka, promises to be the best episode of the league

Except, we don't know how Ash is going to compete in a 6v6 because he doesn't even have a 6th Pokemon, if he does indeed win.

Two possibilities

1: Poipole returns
2: He uses a reserve from Oak's lab

I'm curious to see who Kukui will use other than Incineroar and Braviary

Royal can't even use Braviary because doing so will expose his true identity.

 

[BigDocFan]

Ash: A Braviary, my doesn't Kukui have one lol

If he doesn't use Braviary, that allows Kukui the use of 5 unrevealed Pokemon to use, can't wait to see who

 

[Panky..]

Royal can't even use Braviary because doing so will expose his true identity.

Because Kukui is the only one with a Braviary.

 

[RileyXY1]

Because Kukui is the only one with a Braviary.

No, although Kukui appears prominently with one and people will put two and two together and figure out who the Royal's true identity is, and the Royal does not want that.

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

I don't think this Full Battle will be the exhibition battle. I think the exhibition match will be one-on-one, with Royal using Incineroar.

 

[BigDocFan]

Which leaves the question, if it isn't part of the exhibition battle, who will the opponent be?

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

I mean, this is a world where TRio disguises fool people even when they’re using their pokemon, so...

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Good question. I think we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[BigDocFan]

Someone from Galar would be nice, help promote the games and motivate Ash to visit

This is not a league episode, the league is already over by that point.

 

[BigDocFan]

The league is already over.

True, if this was the exhibition battle which at the time of posting I assumed 100% it was, I counted it as being part of the league

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

True, if this was the exhibition battle which at the time of posting I assumed 100% it was, I counted it as being part of the league

Why?

 

[BigDocFan]

Why?

I just thought it was, hard to fully explain why I thought

 

[Twilight-Kun]

It's a league episode because it's the reward for beating the league

I'm also pretty sure this means Ash won the league unless Gladion handed off the Exhibition match to Ash
