Yeah.... I mean most of Ash's pokemon and his battling style revolves around unpredictability as well skirmishes around the energy which usually makes them atleast win 1 but looses the next.

I honestly think it makes total narrative sense for Sinnoh to be Ash's lowest win rate because it was the series most dedicated to challenging him and his training methods throughout its entire run. But the whole point is that Ash is so determined and creative that he always gets back up and pushes for wins no matter how many times he loses, and unlike Paul, refuses to compromise his Pokémon's feelings in order to achieve it. Ash won where it mattered, which is why the Sinnoh team resonates with the audience so much regardless of the statistics. Because they're full of personality and we see them continually working to grow rather than having the Ace of the region completely overshadow everything. Even if Infernape did carry the win rate and have the most story significance, he wasn't the only one we got to see. Which is why the overall team is so great.

Reminds me of what one of my old coaches told me: if your win rate is below 50%, you need to work harder and train yourself up. If your win rate is above 50%, then you aren’t challenging yourself. Go find better competition and compete with them until your win rate is 50% again. Once you are good enough at that level to be above 50%, go to the next level up.

I think the thing that really helps the Kanto team is that they’ve had the most opportunities to come back, and most of the time the writers aren’t gonna go out of their way to bring them back just to lose

The most likely reason why Sinnoh's team is the one with the lowest winrate is probably because the writers really wanted to make Ash lose a lot of battles.

That as well as the fact that Kanto's worst Pokemon barely battled at all. Like Muk has 2 battles, Lapras has 2 battles, Butterfree has 3 battles, etc. So Kanto's high performers get to come back and battle a TON while the low performers get barely any action at all and thus don't drag the winrate down too much. Compare that with regions like Sinnoh and Unova where mons like Buizel, Oshawott, and Torterra got many battles but lost a ton too while in some cases the high performers like Krookodile barely got any action at all.

The Sinnoh team having the lowest win rate made me realize just how much of a menace Paul was back in the day. Bro was really on that demon time the entire series with how he was violating Ash left and right. And it's not just Paul, but Sinnoh seemed to have a lot of strong trainers. Like wtf do they eat over there to make them mfs that tough?

I'd say with Sinnoh, it's not that the team was bad, the threats they went up against were just more intense and required more development. Just saying, future and previous teams didn't have a Paul and Cynthia if you know what I mean. Hell in journeys when we first meet them, Volkner has a higher rank than the Unova champion did before losing to Ash.

It kinda does make sense for the OG team to get first overall because some of them carried over into Johto as well. Therefore, more battles and more wins.

Talonflame was quite the double-edged sword for the Kalos team, he participated in nearly every single major battle Ash had in that season, (Probably one of if not the highest gym battle counts outside of starters) but he was also forced to be the first or second one out meaning all he could really do was either A. Lose immediately, or B. Knock one out, THEN lose. Noivern did jackshit for his team tho.

Sure, that's where Swellow picked up most of its wins (2 against Katie, 2 against Tyson, and Drawed against Morrison), but that doesn't account for much. It's a good thing it got more usage in the Battle Frontier against Tucker and Spencer. Meanwhile the only battle that Talonflame didn't participate in (to the best of our knowledge since we don't know what teams Ash used in the first two rounds of the Kalos League) was Clemont's, which makes sense given his typing.

And, Sirfetch’d was very much that, and the fact is that he contributed to Ash’s wins against Cynthia and Leon. It was Sirfetch’d who really put the hurt on Garchomp (which no one else was seen to have done), and she still almost beat Lucario at his best while she was at her worst.

Loved and enjoyed watching this content so much. Too bad that we might not see one related to Ash since his journey ended (for now I hope) not unless Zac will think of another idea out of his creative mind.

Nice update of the rates for Ash didn't knew that his starter ace is very powerful, the positions of each team does make sense to me.

Solid video. First one I've seen of this channel.

Part of why the teams that do have the W/L ratios they do is because of how battles are setup in those series. Gen 1 Anime battles were a lot shorter and to the point, so you have more moments like Kingler sweeping an entire battle in the league and Ash not having a 6v6 battle at all. The average 6v6 means you're likely going to see 5 of Ash's mons faint to add tension to the battle, which is an extra 5 losses any time one happens. Winning a battle 6-5 (having one mon left at the end of a 6v6) is roughly a 54% win rate. Winning a Battle 3-2 (having one mon left at the end of a 3v3) is a 60% win rate. Do this enough times, and the ratios favor the series with shorter battles. It's why the series with the most 6v6 battles (DP and XYZ) have some of the lowest ratios. The inverse goes for the #2 Alola, which only had one 6v6 with Ash Vs. Kukui. Since most battles were brief spurts of action, they didn't make Ash lose 5 mons repeatedly for dramatic tension. Shorter battles means less losses within those battles.

I would've also liked to see a point score of some kind come into play, as it isn't exactly fair if one pokemon has won 3/4 battles with a 75% win rate, and another has one 60/100 battles, giving it a 60% win rate. I think giving 1 point for a win, none for a tie, and -1 for a loss could better indicate the ranking of the teams.

I was thinking from few days why haven't you put this sequel😅 Was I alone or there were others?

I think something that would be really interesting is how all these win/lose rates compare to the number of episodes per Region. Series with more episodes have more room for wins, but also more room for losses. So I wonder if longer series (the ones with more filler) have a tendency to inflate the win rate, loss rate, or try to balance it out.

Was waiting for this!!!!

You know as endearing as I found a lot of Aim to Be a Master episodes to be, this vid really highlights how hard the writers dropped the ball with giving his old mons some action. It's bonkers that only Corphish got to have a proper battle in that series and it was a loss at that. Beyond that, great vid. I gotta say the overall team rankings definitely caught me off guard a bit. I guess it really shows how much the narrative can affect overall team performance. Sinnoh had such brutal competition while Kanto mons got to come back many times and put on a show for instance.

The funny part was I watched the old one last night wondering if there was going to be a new one, I found out soon enough 😂😂

1st place suprised me. I think just because the 1st series wasn't as good as later series for various reasons (looking at you indigo league) that doesnt mean his pokemon were bad at battling for the most part! Awesome video bro

I was waiting for you to do this because you said in the other video you were gonna do this

7:36 it pains that position but it make sense considering that Ash fought (and lose) several times against Paul in that series

5:04 Like you said in the previous win rate video, "Sceptile fans must be fuming right now"

Big Sad lol

I’m not surprised that the Sinnoh team did the worst overall. Paul really pushed Ash to his maximum limit.

Fire video keep doing the good work

Sinnoh team being last makes total sense considering Ash was continuously taking losses from paul and training his team. None of them were jobbers in that team except Torterra who had great potential before evolving. Even Gliscor redeemed itself in semi finals by taking out Paul's busted Drapion. Staraptor was the best bird in terms of raw power, buizel did pretty well in gym battles, Infernape was unstoppable after mastering blaze ability, Gible just needed more screentime to show how powerful it was.

well, definitely didn't expect kanto to be ash's best team in terms of win rate. though to be fair the competition ash was up against at the time pales in comparison to what he was up against in kalos, alola(with kukui, gladion, guzma, and gladion), and journeys, so that makes sense. was pretty fun, though context / feats are still pretty important to consider, not just win rate alone.

As a huge Lucario stan, the thumbnail was terrifying.😂😂😂 Great vid Zac!

I’m happy this finally came out

I was waiting for this😢 the best❤

Reason why Sinnoh team is ranked so low : 1) Tough battles and opponents : Paul, Flint, Volkner , Barry's dad , Cynthia etc etc. 2) less battles in the sinnoh league : A lot of ash's old gen pokemons participated in the league . 3) foreshadowing the other pokemons to make space for Infernape. Still the other pokemons like Buizel, Staraptor and Gliscor are some of the most loved pokemons of ash. 4) a better story and development , probably why DP is considered one of the best Pokémon series.

It would be interesting to see a video of the best fight of every pokemon of ash, because some of their best fights are suprisingly when they lost the battle (i talk about either the coolest fight or best shown feat like torterra nearly beating an elite 4 Ace)

It ought to be ashamed

This is a small error, but I’m pretty sure Kingler’s win rate should be 83%, not 71%. Both you and that one chart counts Kingler’s battle against Pete’s arcanine as a lost, but during the battle against Pete, Ash recalled Kingler before he was declared as unable to battle. Bulbapedia also says that Kingler was recalled instead of defeated, if you want to double check there.

Shocking ending, BUT BUT.. they did have the most screen time outta the others.

I would argue that most of the matches in the Journeys era were against heavy lifters. In Kanto, it was his "beginner" era so there weren't as many hard matches as in Journeys. (I do remember Metapod v Metapod, greatest match of all time)

The Kanto Team is slightly unfair, because that's the only team where Ash actively used his Pokémon even after leaving the region he caught them in. The Kanto starters were heavily used way late into Johto and that affects the numbers of the Johto mons. Same goes for the Battle Frontier, Ash's use of particularly his Kanto Pokémon affected them numbers if his Hoenn team (though the Battle Frontier is a little more forgivable since he was just retraveling through Kanto again). So by default, the Kanto mons have higher numbers simply because he used them more than other Pokémon. If you counted only the battles fought in the Regions of the seasons the Pokémon were caught in (not counting Pikachu because he was everywhere and you gave him identical numbers so he didn't twist the total too much), then Kanto would be the lowest

If one doesn't count Pikachu then he technically got the highest. I thought he had 11 wins but still 13 is better

Zac, please do a team rank, series rank, or movie rank. It would also be neat if you review the manga

I saw this article where the director of Pokémon mentioned that ash might return in the future

It's honestly crazier though, its understandable that his journeys team has a not so great overall winrate because of the fact that they don't get much screentime and are also battling the best of the best

My Pikachu Win Rate in Pokemon Fire Ash Game is a solid 100% coz i used it in every battle and it didn't even lost a single match from Kanto to Galar

Thanks for adding more fuel to the gliscor slander, since we apparently didn't have enough

I never watched one of your winrate videos, but when i thought about Ashs pokemon with the highest winrate, i thought to myself watch it being something silly like Kingler. :)

I think you should also factor in opponents, gym battles and rivals to contextualise the win rates. I think Ash’s team got progressively better each series excluding Unova and Johto. Unova because they tried rebooting Ash back into a novice. Johto because Ash mainly relied on his Kanto Pokémon for tough battles.

Once a Pokemon has a bad win rate, context hardly matters

sinnoh is due to many 6v6 battles, if it were more like the newer ones like 3v3s likely the win rate would be a tiny bit higher maybe because he has a quick sweep team

8:42 We don`t tolerate Talonflame slander over here lol

7:42 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

7:35 Well,it makes sense plot wise since Ash mostly loses to his Sinnoh rival for development…and of course,most of his pokémon there are just caught in that same gen. But I think win rates does not matter for Ash’s current titles since beginning battle’ results are counted too and we all start from newbies.

The Alola team is only underrated because Poipole barely got any battle experience and Meltan showed up super late so really, Rowlet, Torracat, and Lycanroc got all the attention, including Pikachu of course.

I think I know why the kanto team has the highest win rate. It is that ash constantly uses them in post gen 1 battles

Damn I just today re watched the original video and now this pops up

Love these analyiss man,❤

THE I IN ANALYSIS SHOULD BE AFTER THE FIRST S!

It is interesting to think that his official win rate is so low when compared to his successes. Makes me feel even more strongly about the games having more challenging modes.

Nostalgia kept them coming back and winning.

Now I want to know what is Ash Ketchum's win rate

Something that needs to be said is that averages can sometimes be misleading, especially with something abstract as strength. There are dozens of factors that can contribute to a win or a loss including the strength of your opponent, your state of mind, and how strong your partner is at the time. So you cannot definitively say Ash's Kanto team is the strongest because things are in flux constantly.

Sounds like you've tried that sea cucumber. That, or you've gone to the Sento Kiryu School of Finding the Inner Strength to Defy All Odds.

When's the next sword and shield anime video Zac? I love those.

Honestly Ash got a lot of easy wins in the earlier stages of the anime (Kanto, Johto, etc) so I'm not surprised to see his Kanto's team so high. He (and his Pokemon) had to work much harder in the later seasons, and while he's always had to learn lessons throughout each eras, the lessons in the first seasons often felt shallow or like a simple spoke in his wheel - whereas, later on, it felt like Ash was properly challenged. The fights also got better in general, and the Pokemon were allowed to use stronger moves and more thought-out strategies in the later seasons - and that went both ways ; both his Pokemon and his challengers', resulting sometimes in more losses for him. A unrealistic dream of mine is some sort of original series reboot where the first few seasons are brought up to today's standards. I think that would be fun to watch.

Can’t wait until Horizons finish and soon we will probably get a statistic ratio for both Roy and Liko’s team

Interesting stats but I think the Sinnoh and Johto teams were hurt by the other generations stealing their screen time in the League. Same with the Kalos league with only 2 full battles.
