Ash Ketchum’s Strangest Pokemon: A Never-Ending Mystery for Fans

Ash’s Dracovish played a crucial role in his journey to becoming the world’s top trainer in Pokemon Journeys: The Series. Despite this, there is still confusion among fans regarding one peculiar aspect of Dracovish’s battle against Leon’s Dragapult.

Ash’s Fossil Pokemon is one of his most powerful creatures in the series and proves to be a valuable asset in the Masters Eight Tournament finals.

The main character of the anime releases Dracovish to battle Dragapult in his extended fight against Leon. Following a strong attack from the opposing Dragon-type, Dracovish is suddenly overtaken by a surge of energy, evident by the appearance of spikes on its back.

As a result of the apparent power boost, Ash’s companion was able to inflict significant damage on the opponent and assist in defeating several other Pokemon from Leon’s team.

Despite the passing of time, supporters of the anime continue to eagerly await a satisfactory explanation for the origin of the power-up and its absence in subsequent episodes. The topic was recently brought up by a Reddit user on a Pokemon anime forum, sparking further discussions and expressions of perplexity from other fans.

Did/will we ever get an explanation for this? byu/MsaurusArex inpokemonanime

One Reddit user pointed out that Cynthia’s theory in the anime suggested that the collision of Dragon moves (specifically, Dracovish’s Dragon Rush and Dragapult’s Dragon Darts) could have triggered a dormant power in Dracovish. However, this was completely overlooked and left unexplained.

Some viewers labeled the unexpected increase in power as “plot armor,”claiming it was a convenient plot device for the Pokemon to suddenly defeat tougher opponents.

Another user theorized that Dracovish’s battle with Dragapult, another ancient creature, triggered its awakening of powers. Dragapult, being the ghost of a dinosaur, and Dracovish, a resurrected creature made up of various ancient parts, were engaged in a fierce fight.

The Pokemon is a fusion of two distinct fossils and has exhibited compelling interactions with other creatures in the show. Nevertheless, the preceding interactions were not comparable to the intensity observed during the showdown with Leon.

Despite being as far back as the Indigo League, the Pokemon anime is still riddled with unexplained events and pocket monster mechanics that deviate from the official canon. Fans should not anticipate any further clarification beyond the brief hypotheses presented in the episode.
