Royal mask definitely trained his Pokémon strong enough for this tournament I think he train Braviery more as I remember it lost to mega argogon from team rocket...

From my understanding, @Panky..'s problem with this wasn't that it didn't make sense, but that it happened too quickly. Lycanronc barely managed to do anything to Braviary before being knocked out. It just got to hurt him with Bite and then it got KO'd by a Sky Drop + Superpower combo. The writers could've had Lycanroc do more in the battle prior to getting hit with Sky Drop, but they didn't. Which is the reason why the KO feels rushed (and the fact that it seems to have been rushed for the sake of giving Rowlet's idiotic and repetitive gags more screen time makes it even worse). This was the big issue with Lycanroc's defeat. Not the fact that it didn't survive an overpowered chain of attacks.
Well, that's a strawman if I've ever seen one.
Who even said that? No, seriously. Who the hell said that Lycanroc is now trash/worthless because it's not invincible?
Do we even know if Melmetal knows Thunderbolt? It was only used in its debut and even then, is there any proof that the Meltan that used it is the one that Ash caught? I hope it doesn’t know Thunderbolt, that would make Ash’s choices of moves more understandable.

I agree. Pretty sure Rotom said that they were 1,000 meters (maybe 900) off the ground. An impact from that attack should honestly kill almost any Pokémon.Idk, I felt like it was all very believable too. I mean objectively speaking, yes, Lycanroc fainted quicker than the others, but come on, they really depicted that Sky Drop as being very powerful and it had a lot of build-up from such height too. (Maybe it was just me being more invested in the battle than usual but I physically winced when they hit the ground lol)
I agree. I think this is case of anime logic rather than game logic. That Sky Drop looked painful, and you can say the same thing about the Double Iron Bash on Empoleon, even though it should have been resisted it was such a powerful attack that it broke through it's defenses. I'm glad that they are depicting Ash's Pokemon surviving really powerful attacks, only to still be defeated shortly after. The same thing happened with Rowlet. It's making the battle way less predictable than then previous ones this league. The only very unrealistic part for me was Rowlet taking down Braviary, but it had taken a lot of damage by that time so I give it a pass.Idk, I felt like it was all very believable too.

And yet people still don't seem to understand that this is a 22 minute episode, and not a 24/7 series.
Because that's the only way it would've been able to survive the attacks is BY being invincible.
Or in your opinion do you think Gladion's Lycanroc would've fared better?
Either you accept Braviary being ridiculously overpowered and Lycanroc did its best despite the circumstances or the argument here is Lycanroc is "trash" (or more trash than not trash) and didn't actually deserve to beat Gladion's Lycanroc (which a few people, I might add, already had a problem with it) because it somehow should've been more invincible and survive the attacks and kept battling.
I think it's hard for me to rationalize that anyone who legitimately had a problem, don't automatically undervalue Lycanroc because of its performance.
Still kinda got shortsticked in it's battle like the last time. Only made more into a jokeFinally, a Empoleon appears in the anime for the first time in 9 years...
That whirlpool honestly made me nostalgic.Finally, a Empoleon appears in the anime for the first time in 9 years...
All that was missing was a Draco Meteor with the accuracy of a patriot missile.That whirlpool honestly made me nostalgic.
I think it's hard for me to rationalize that anyone who legitimately had a problem, don't automatically undervalue Lycanroc because of its performance. Because if there wasn't a lesser opinion of Lycanroc, why wouldn't you accept the loss as it is, and realizing Kukui had the upper hand with obviously powerful attacks.
I don’t know about that Braviery gotten stronger for this episode compared before when it battle team rocket mega evolution of agrogon.You are all forgeting one thing:
Incineroar is Masked Royals main, while Braviary is Kukui's main, so Braviary should be on a similair power level as Incineroar (Which means it makes sense for Braviary to defeat Ash's second strongest mon, next to Pikachu).
Didn’t the same happen for Melmetal vs Gladion?Just realised this, but I love how Naganadel’s existence was just revealed and yet the scoreboard had a perfectly clear shot of it and an up close face avatar.
I guess it was in the Aether database.
The person you responded to literally just expressed this dislike in a single line and you exploded on them with this wall of text...They have to focus on other things, they choose, we can dislike those choices, sure,
