Snorlax actually has a direct example of having Dream Eater used on it and getting so pissed it woke up, which makes at least 3 Ashmons that would have done more against Spiritomb than JOBbernite.

Sorry bro Last he got hit by a Dream Eater he proceeded to rape the culprit
First one was bullshit, since Excadrill just cheesing Horndrill but the second one means it was a shit mon, like it was 1 quick attack and it went down,

Horn Drill was the only valid way to take down a tanky pokemon, so I don't see the problem with it.

Everyone wants Leon.

This but unironically. Lysandre's Gyarchad withstood two dragon claws, high jump kick, thunder punch, dragon pulse, quick attack, cut, and thunder bolt whilst simultaneously defeat Goodra, Noivern, Hawlucha, and Talonflame. Only the combined might of Alain, Ash, and Malva were able to take it down. Meanwhile, Gastrodon died to a couple rocks and a quick attack. The ""champions"" of the M8 are lucky that Lysandre isn't alive to show them just how weak they truly are. They're nothing but big fish in a small pond.
Isn't this also what they did with Alain This anime actually made me see why people here despise Leon so much

I understand why they made up the retirement plot. They want us to root for Cynthia for when they make Ash ultimately lose to her. They want to soften that blow, and then make us root for her against Leon. Since we know this would be her final battle, it makes it much more narratively impactful than a 10 year old with a team full of nobodies.
