Love how Zac adds the little things that make Ash’s Pokémon special like Torkoal crying after getting a victory and Gliscor’s way of moving after using giga impact and even the fact that Melmetal never fails to surprise Ash with its wackiness😭

I loved the little flips from Gliscor. Brought me right back to the Sinnoh League. I also loved Melmetal's eagerness to Gigantamax, since the big manchild would probably beg to go big too.

Glad Bede was able to get a good end to his character arc. Its still weird how Gigantimax Melmetal never appeared in Journeys despite Ash being the only trainer to have one.

Man was not expecting Hop to take down Victor so easily. But judging by his team it's obvious why. Also love all the pokemon returns, glad it's not just the aces

GMax Melmetal was dope! Here are all the new moves learned by Ash’s Pokemon: - Gliscor: Bulldoze, Rock Tomb - Torkoal: Body Press - Melmetal: Thunder Punch

Ash Vs Bede was awesome! It was great growth for both sides. Ash, having Corviknight, his Gmax ace for the battle get knocked out early on meaning he had to fight an uphill battle. And Bede where he proved to Chairman Rose just how far he and his Pokemon have come. All in all it was a great battle, and pretty satisfying way to end off their rivalry.

Yeah it kind of sucks that Heracross got taken out but Melmetal was awesome. I kind wished Zac had Melmetal grab and slam Gmax Hatterene while she was using max shield that way ash could bypass the shield and use max lightning to get Hatterene to waste her Gmax and get rid of the psychic terrain. That way ash could finish it with Gmax meltdown while Hatterene tries to stop the spikes with psychic but fails.

Marnie will probably win

Wasn’t expecting G-Max Melmetal but here we are!

Having so many of Ash’s old Pokémon return shows Zac clearly has more sense than any of Journeys writers

Melmetal finally getting some screen time cause those big muscles made steel were just for show in sun and moon

I noticed Ash is having each of his gmax pokemon show up in each of the league battles. He used Gmax Corviknight in the preliminary rounds, Centiskorch against Melony, Drednaw with and now Gmax Melmetal with Bede. So that probably means that he'll use Gmax Urshifu against Marnie's Gmax Grimmsnarl, Gmax Rillaboom against Hop's Cinderace, and Pikachu against Leon's Charizard.

Hop is getting some build up with him winning without losing most of his Pokémon.

Love the second half of the Galar League and the battle between Ash and Bede and Hop and Bea were awesome! I especially love how Ash was able to use more of his previous Pokémon with his current team and his expression with seeing G-Max Melmetal was just icing on the cake. But with Rose now recruiting the brothers, I have a feeling that something big is coming and he said it's going to "save Galar's energy crisis" but I'm not really sure about that. Looking forward to seeing more of the Galar League.

Once again I LOVE the choice of Pokemon that Ash used for this battle. Seeing Torkoal & Leavanny have their individual moments to shine & Gliscor & Melmetal being the threats they are, it was an amazing battle to behold. I also love the development for Bede as a character!

@11:23 my heart almost exploded with joy when you said "Ash's Alola friends & FAMILY..."

So good, Melmetal showed why he shouldn’t be underlooked 😁

Ash has the same reaction I had when I saw Bede’s new look. I was like “god damn it…” 🤦‍♂️

Reallly wishing we would’ve seen Bede and Ash actually interact and battle

I enjoy how you continue to give different things for Gloria to do while the league is going on, so she isn't just in the background. Seeing her catch more Pokémon with the apricorn balls was fun, and it was cool to see Goh again. I love how Hop got such a strong victory over Victor. I've truly loved seeing his growth this series, and he's easily my favorite character.

Looks like we got Gigantamax Melmetal in this joint

Gliscor MVP of the battle ❤ I sincerly didn't expect ash vs Bede because the pairings seen in the previous episode,but I actually really like this battle and Ash team for this battle. I love the callback of Leavanny,the win of Torkoal (hope the next redemptionist is Torterra) and the MVP of Gliscor,thing that i didn't expect.

Another Amazing Episode! I am having an absolute blast, and specially when you bring these kinds of moments that really gave Pokémon Universe its true collour! Really digging the Blastoise Ace in Hops Team. Looking forward to see how that turns out. And the oblivious Ash moment really takes me back. That one cracked me up. Cheers for the content! Real Gods work here!

Ash vs bede let's goooo

This is probably the best league ever and it’s not even done yet. The battles epic, Hop and Bede developments truly show in their battles, the small hints of the darkest day coming. Even the mini filler with Gloria was good. It didn’t take up time for a whole episode unlike a certain Axew getting lost *cough*. None of the battles felt rushed. I have my predictions for the semi finals and finals match ups. Great job once again Zac.

This was a really fun video! Seeing big man Hop clapping people is always good, and his little interaction with Gloria has me hoping for more. Speaking of, seeing Gloria get the W over Goh was great, and the reward was worth it. Bede finally getting closure on his resentment towards Rose was great, and his battle with Ash was awesome (Torkoal actually got a solid win), with Gliscor, and Melmetal in particular pulling out some standout performances. And obviously the villainous foreshadowing with Rose is ominously great. Overall a fantastic second part of an already excellent league arc!

Finally this legendary series is back

I wasn’t expecting GMAX Melmetal, A surprise but a welcome one.

This one was AWESOME I love the little details in this one And I LOVED seeing Leavanny and Heracross again! Also Melmetal was AMAZING

Predictions for top8 Ash (no duh) Bede (obviously) Victor (rewatch the last episode) Gordie (rewatch the last episode) Hop( we all knew that) Marnie (she has to battle ash next round) Raihan (he’ll beat shield guy) Piers ( brother vs sister battle) Now the match ups Ash vs bede Hop vs victor Marnie vs piers Raihan vs gordie Semifinals Ash vs marnie Hop vs raihan Finals Ash vs hop Enter the champion Ash vs Leon Winner of the league Ash

You are so right man

I like, that since Top 8 the battles became 6v6, and Ash vs Bede was pretty good, compare to some 6v6 in the anime. And how Gardevoir was a major wall to overcome. Kinda like, how Drapion, Spiritomb and Rillaboom were in their battles. But it's weird, that it was just 1 episode long. That gives me a flashback of Ash vs Tyson - decent battle, but way too rushed with a bunch of quick K.O. This one wasn't like this, so it's weird to imagine, how it would fit in 20 minute slot per episode.

Technically, the battle starts an episode prior 👀

I love all the returning mons for Ash's battles, but I hope at least one battle (especially the inevitable one with Hop) uses all of Ash's Galar members to win. Just to show how much he progressed throughout his Galar travels alone. Also how did Victor get this far in the finals with that team lol. Love the series, can't wait to see where it goes!

Another sweet job with this one. It's always good to see this kind of stuff done, amazing work^^

ok a nice thing is how Bede's most threatening pokemon wasn't actually hatarrene a pokemon known to hate emotions and valiantly shuts them down (even if they belongs to it's own trainers) a lot more connected to the psychic type then fairy if i say so myself. but instead it's gardevoir, a pokemon known to feel and embrace other's emotions, a protective pokemon who will do everything for a beloved "master" it has (be it trainer or otherwise) much better fit for the fairy type despite being psychic as well

11:19 That face when you see "sus" art

What an awesome episode this was. I have a few predictions in future episodes. Dawn & Serena reunite with Ash before his future battle with Leon. Todd Snap reunites with Ash during the Finals (Ash Vs Hop) & reveals He's studying to become a journalist. Ash will either catch a Hatenna or a legendary pokemon towards the end of his Galar Journey. These are just predictions. Wonder if either 1 will be true.

Heracross got done dirty.

So awesome. This is what the writers should have done- let Ash use his reserves for Leagues and give them redemption, which was something the writers never did in Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Alola and the World Coronation series. They did not realize why the disregard for Ash's reserves is the most hated concept of all time until it was too late.

I love the appracoren Pokeballs😊

Gloria keeps blushing in the presence of Hop

Love all the hop battles my boi silicobra puts in the work 😊

Great episode set. Gloria competed in a Ball Challenge and got a Shiny Gengar from it, and Ash vs Bede was also great. I liked seeing Ash use some of his old Pokemon, and was cool that his Melmetal took the win and Gigantamaxed too. Again, great episode set!

Melmetal was a real MVP. He made his Alola family proud today.

Great battles in all the episodes Victor vs Hop was good. Ash vs Bede ending surprised me didn't think I would see G-max Melmetal awesome. Proud Bede was able overcome his emotions against Chairman Rose and continuing his growth to get better as a trainer a remarkable close to his character. Congrats to Gloria getting her first shiny pokemon Gengar.

Nah Ash vs Bede needs to get animated fr cuz i was on the edge of my seat

This was a amazing episode 🥳What strikes me is that Ash uses Pokémon from each region in his battles with Bede and Marnie

pretty sure that ash vs hop is going to be full galar team of ash.

This was amazing. Definitely worth the wait. I can't wait for the next episode. Even if it could be until next year.

That was awesome seeing Melmetal G-max, It was incredible.

Gotta respect giving torkoal and gliscor some more wins and personally love the consistency of double iron bash being SUCH a slow move to use therefore easy to dodge Also also the character work, god, you put the game version of these characters to shame

Absolute top class Zac

Hey zac, I know it's wishful thinking, but maybe had ash used swellow in the next episode so it can get some love

Gigantamax Melmeta didn’t see that coming🤯🤯🤯🤯

It's now canon, Ash got his Melmetal from tradeing it over from pokemon go

This was perfection! Hop vs bea was cool! Though I wish corvisquire evolved. Gloria beating goh to get the shiny gengar was fun! Hop vs victor was cool too but I wish silicobra evolved too. Rose is getting close to unleashing the darkest day, and got those sword and shield losers to aid him. And ash vs bede was awesome! And Bede getting to respect ash was a heartwarming moment.
