>her last two Pokemon are a Dynamaxed Togekiss and a Garchomp (that now can't Mega Evolve due to the 1 gimmick per battle rule) that only knows Dragon attacks and Stealth Rock against a Mega Lucario

They nerfed her hard to make Ash's win believable

Cynthiabros...why did she use a G*lar gimmick...?

>They nerfed her hard to make Ash's win believable
true
she still might win

They have to nerf Cynthia so that Ash beats her somehow.

She also has a Mega, so she isnt chained to powerspots like leon

>Cynthia throws dynamax ball with two hands
LMAO weakling

Deus Ex non-damaging moves and banned earthquake

Dianatha looks like she just saw the most bull shit thing ever.

>They nerfed Cynthia into the ground because it was the only way the writers could conceivably have Ash win. And it's not remotely believable if you're over the age of 10.
Ftfy, you're welcome.

oh no no no no no no

>Zero ground moves
Cynthia Keks?

Earthquake is banned.

Only Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude, every other Ground-type move is still fair game

One of the most retarded movesets I've seen in this shitshow

She still had to use a gimmick this time around when Ash isn't. This is exactly like Irisfags predicted.

Bulldoze would be very doable as a ground version of tackle, or mud bomb or mud shot. The anime just doesn't want to acknowledge Ground type because then Pikachu would have a weakness.

They still use Ground type attacks, Gastrodon used Earth Power against Pikachu in this same battle

They used Magnitude in XY, which is literally just Earthquake

The only time Magnitude was ever used was by Gary's Golem in the Johto League

Blame Japan

Cynthia's Gastrodon used Earth Power which Ash's Pikachu dodged in such a bullshit fashion while Diantha's Aurorus couldn't KO Lance's Dragonite because the anime is such an absolute crock of shit of a popularity contest.

>when Ash isn't.
are you retarded?

Why even have Ash here if you need to nerf the Champions to his level? It makes everyone look bad.
