Let's admit that that battle was against the top 2, yes ash only made it to the top 4, but ash deserved the 2nd place spot due to him defeating 2, 2 of tobias' legendary pokemon, while no other trainer even the technical second place trainer was able to defeat darkrai

Ash vs Tyson from the Hoenn League should've had an honorable mention, I know a lot of people dislike the Hoenn league but that battle had a lot of epic moments, and both Tyson's Metagross and his Meowth were tough as hell.

The crazy thing? Tobias's team was supposed to be movie references, according to the storyboarding that said he would also have a Lucario and an Entei. So . . . Spell of the Unown, Heroes, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and Rise of Darkrai were the four movies that were picked to be "represented" by the team that would stomp Ash, before the writers realized he wouldn't need to fight four to lose.

Nice list! One thing I'd like to point out is that against Flint, once Ash brought out Pikachu and showed him off, Flint told his Infernape that he could fight going all-out. So while he was decisively stronger, Pikachu forced Flint's ace to put in all of his effort. And he even took eight attacks + several Volt Tackle recoils!

It was also a battle that legitimately hospitalized Ash’s Pokémon, which doesn’t happen too often, even when he loses. I mean, sure heading to the Pokémon centre is a regular thing, but it doesn’t often happen where the Pokémon are actually wrapped up in bandages and take longer to heal.

When I Saw A Ash In a Toughest Battle I was like:*sigh* *sigh* *sigh*

Ash - The casual player who bonds with each Pokémon. Paul - The competitive player more focused on the highest potential. Tobias - The all out, no f*cks given player who loves a good steamroll. Personally I love the way Tobias was handled considering the blatant game/anime comparison they went with for Ash and Paul throughout their rivalry.

Tobias Vs ash is what a NPC Vs MC must feel like , or when you go back to an early route and run into a trainer missed on accident.

I think one of Ash's toughest battle was against Brock during his first gym match. I still can remember how onyx totally destroyed pikachu. Without those water pipes, Ash could had never got out of there.

I would not be surprised if Tobias returned in "Pokemon Journeys" and competed in the World Coronation Series.

Tobias probably had an Entei too sadly. It's shown in the intro of both the Japanese and English opening during the Sinnoh League battling Ash's Pokemon, so if I were to assume, the next Pokemon was certainly that. He was cooked.

I would put Ash vs Guzma on there. Not only did Ash's pokemon have to deal with Golisopod's poison from his poison jab, but they also had to deal with his armor, which could even block Z-moves. While Ash did have a bit of a lucky break taking down Scizor, Pikachu was exhausted by the end of the fight with Golisopod.

I know I’ve already said this on MysticUmbreon’s Top Ten Strongest Trainers in the Anime video but Tobias represents one of those online trainers who would bring a full team of Ubers in an OU battle.

The Kalos and Sinnoh League losses are particularly infuriating, each for their own special reasons. Kalos pissed off SOOO many people because of how ludicrously hyped Ash was after beating Sawyer, even the Rockets dropped a line alluding to it “He might actually win” so to see Charizard’s knee buckle and then have Greninja collapse was just a collective “GOD DAMMIT” from everyone. Sinnoh was an even worse offender imo, as Kalos at least gave Ash a respectable, down to the wire match. Ash had reached his peak and even defeated Paul in the quarterfinals in a huge momentum gain. So to be curb stomped by a write in character with no special character development other than being a cocky, mysterious coat wearing dude with the same voice as Scar from FMA was a real insult to the massive character development Ash had on his journey, this also being the only league where he ever brought back Pokémon from prior generations to battle. Ash should’ve won back during the Sinnoh league, but corporate greed demands that Ash not achieve his dream because they can’t fathom the idea of a Pokémon Master still exploring new regions and collecting more gym badges, god forbid he uses a different team.

I think fantina should at least deserve a honourable mention spot. Ash had to develop counter shield to win that badge and later paul also adapted that strategy in the sinnoh league against ash

This video gives me goosebumps bro and I am not jocking

There is no way Team Rocket didn't try and kidnap Tobias during the league seeing him use legendaries in a Pokeball

He would have whipped out Arceus had Team Rocket touched him.

I think we're all forgetting Ash's true toughest battle, not just for him, but for many of the audience as well: The Metapod on Metapod Harden battle.

Nice video! While Gary vs Ash was most people's childhood favourite match, mine was actually Ash vs Drake in the orange league. How do you feel about making an opposite of this list like "Top 10 Easiest Ash Ketchum Battles" or "Top 10 Most One-Sided Ash Ketchum Victories"?

I bet Tobias did the Dynamax dens and chose the best legendaries to compete in the Sinnoh League

Ash’s toughest battle: “Metapod, harden!”

Goodra : I'm a pseudo legendary Bisharp : I don't care

Nolan and Brandon got to be in here :)

Paul's Ursaring appears : Don't cry. Just, run.

Let's go another Lumiose Trainer Zac vid!

I think Maylene deserves a mention as well. Although Ash managed to get her down to Lucario without any losses, everything turned around after that. Lucario fought its way through Staravia and Chimchar, and Buizel was only able to take it to a draw, and even then, Buizel needed to learn Water Pulse AND (iirc) make use of Swift Swim to do it. Despite all of that, Ash was still ONLY able to score a draw on Maylene, despite everything he had going for him with the momentum of being up 3-1, and Buizel's new move and ability. That Lucario was crazy.

Y'know now that I think about it. The lake Acuity battle against Paul and the League battle against Tobias are very similar. Ash getting battered and bruised while only taking out 2 Pokemon. Funny how the former did so much better with the concept.

I probably would’ve included Snorlax and Charizard. Snorlax knows sleep talk, and is quite a heavy hitter. And Charizard was another powerhouse as well, and if Ash saw an opportunity, he might’ve used Charizard’s blaze to an even greater degree than Infernape’s.

I just want to point out that Ash was the only person in the Sinnoh League Tournament to knock out Tobias's Darkrai

I think the battle against Olympia should be higher as it was a double battle and the speed and quick thinking was actually something most battles lack, when I watched it I was amazed

its our unexpected boy zac once again

10: ash v tobias 9: ash v wulfric 8: ash v sawyer (kalos league) 7: ash v roxie 6: ash v olympia 5: ash v nanu 4: ash v guzma (alola league) 3: ash v kukui 2: ash v Alain (kalos league) 1: ash v Paul (sinnoh league)

Ash deserves a rematch against Tobias in Journey

Can't wait for Ash and Goh to battle in the league and it will basically be Ash vs Tobias 2.0

Ash vs tobias shouldn’t really count as the toughest considering Ash used some of his worst possible pokemon he had. Like why did he even consider using Torcoal, it’s his worst pokemon. It got one shot by Dark pulse. Heck Ash knew after the first episode that he had a darkrai so he could have planned ahead by using infernape who is a fighting type and also won his battle against Paul. And the writers gave Tobias’s darkrai ice beam which was effective against Septile and Gible(who should have evolved sooner lets be honest)

Roxy is indeed one of the toughest gym leaders in the anime, allowing challengers to use 6 pokemons against only 3 of hers makes her a really good trainer, but since ash's unova team is my less favorite team I guess ash can do better by using different team and use only 3 pokemons as well. Edit: if only she wasn't playing loud rock music while battling, challengers can focus, and maybe they won't need all six pokemons to defeat her.

Kukui as a honorable mention...? Dude was basically E4 level and the strongest of the whole region, and a Legendary even helped him..

Hey MysticUmbreon, thank you for giving me the best team for Black 2, I appreciate it .

Ash vs Tobias was straight up writers venting down their all anger on Ash 💀

My favorite toughest battles are Ash vs Noland, Ash vs Paul and Ash vs Kukui.

I love the ash vs Gary

Yeah... Ash v Tobias again IS BRUTAL! Not even Heracross learning Sleep Talk was enough to help here like it did against Nando earlier on. Also wow Sleep Talk actually being used in the anime was nice to see.

okay after those honorable mentions I'm psyched

I am interested in Zactoshi Gekkouga Please more video on that

When you realize that Tobias (assuming he joined the World Coronation Series) must have lost to Leon at some point. I'd like to think that Tobias is in either in Top 100 or Top 8. Hoping for a full 6 v 6 rematch for this. I'd also like to see how Tobias reacted when he did lose to Leon, since I think he beat all of the Gym Leaders and the Lily of the Valley Conference with only his Darkrai, excluding his match with Ash.

10. Ash only won this battle because of luck (Pikachu's static kicked in). I remember him saying at the start of the fight that he wanted it to be 3v3 for a "fair fight." 9. "Do you really think a Dark type Pokémon user cares about being 'fair'?" -Nanu The battle really proved Lycanroc's grit and was vital to his character arc. Tapu Bulu came in clutch with the berry. 8. Ash's first win against a Legendary! Charizard only won with a last second move and even then, barely. 7. Anabel was a touch challenge. She could telepathically communicate with her Pokemon. 6. Ash vs. Gary was top tier. Charizard soloed half of his team. 5. Ash vs. Paul was peak. It wasn't just a battle of rivals, but a battle of ideals. 4. Ash vs. Brandon was scary as Ash lost his strongest Pokemon in the first round, leading to the rest of the team having to pick up the slack. 3. This isn't even a fight. Just a beatdown. At least Ash won the others mentioned above (eventually). 2. No other battle in Pokemon can get a rise out of me like this. 1. I don't even consider this a lose. It was still an amazing and entertaining fight.

0:05 he will always be 10

Here are my top 10 Ash Ketchum battle in the Pokemon anime (in my opinion) #10 Ash vs Iris #9 Ash vs Gary #8 Ash vs Sawyer #7 Ash vs Guzma #6 Ash vs Hau #5 Ash vs Olimpia #4 Ash vs Paul #3 Ash vs Alain #2 Ash vs Gladion #1 Ash vs Kukui Again this is my top 10 Ash Ketchum battles......in my opinion

The moment I taught ash gonna win the sinnoh league but then that guy just pulled out Darkrai and latios. I'm so disappointed that time hahahaha

That dude in the thumbnail is just a cheat code implemented in the anime to destroy Ash.
