Working on a Right Move! (653)

[Lance The Champ]

It was the first time they showed Tobias's face.... He sure looked like he meant business

[Rebeccag]

Good episode liked how Conway came back by using stratedy. Cant wait to see the Ash vs Paul battle though gonna be amazing ^_^. Oh and Cynthia picking what to eat was sooooo funny and Gible learning Draco Metour yay but that means Piplup wont be ab;le to get anymore boo lol

I started wondering about the move "mean look" a time after I saw this episode.
In the anime, we only see trainers try to change pokemon with their pokeballs after "mean look" is used.
Would it work to change pokemon who doesnt use a pokeball like Ash`s pikachu?
I don`t remember if a pokemon have been knocked out of the field while the move is in play, but I think it has happend. (If so, maybe they just can`t get into their trainer`s area?)

Enough of my crazy rambling...!

When I saw the shadow flying in at the end I got so happy. Sadly I thought it was Charizard....not Gliscor.

The first two round of Ash's battle are not that good to me. The battles in the grand festival was more epic in my opinion.Plus the commentator was lame, I miss the 4kids commentator. Ash getting wise all of a sudden is not like him at all. Changing his team all of a sudden before Conway battle and teaching sleep talk to Heracross to counter sing. I know his unpredictable in battles but not a strategist. I hope his last two battles will be better.

I liked the fact that Conway used a Trick Room strategy in this battle.

[Shadow XD001]

Yes, it was very creative of Conway to use Trick Room in the battle, as it really helped him out.

Unfortunately, the first few battles of the Sinnoh League were pretty boring to me, and Conway is a pretty bland rival (if you can even call him "rival"), so I didn't like this episode much. Mostly liked it because Gible mastered Draco Meteor.

Episode Rating: 2.5/10

This episode was very cool. It was cool to see Gible finally master Dragon Meteor. It was funny how Gible was actually launching Conway's Pokemon in the air with that attack, and knocking them out when Dragon Meteor breaks into Meteors. It was cool to see Infernape finally learn Flare Blitz, it looks awesome. Donphan got knocked out very easily in the battle. It was cool to see Power Trick used for the 1st time. It was cool to see that Noctowl had learned Extrasensory and Sky Attack. It was cool to see Trick Room and how it works for the 1st time.

98/100

I love how Conway uses moves that we almost never see in the anime.

Also I think that sludge bomb in Gible's mouth must have tasted awful!

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Also I think that sludge bomb in Gible's mouth must have tasted awful!

You think?

It was kind of funny, though.

Ash: Gible, catch Shuckle with your mouth! (or something like that)
Conway: Use sludge Bomb into Gible's mouth!
Shuckle: Shuckle. *uses sludge bomb*
Gible: O_o
Conway: Now, please let go of Shuckle.

Poor Gible. First that, and then getting licked all over the place by Lickilicky.....at least Gible won.

[Painkiller2001]

Another great league battle that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Awesome that Infernape learned a new move, Flare Blitz!

Also, great that Gible finally mastered Draco Meteor! Piplup is now safe!
I thought for a minute that Gible was going to evolve in this episode.

Also, Gliscor is back! Awesome!

The way that Gliscor came back made me think it was Charizard that he called back!

[Littlemyuu]

It was an really intresting battle, just wished Charizard would come too to help Ash

[Vern]

That was a pretty good battle. It was cool to see Trick Room used in battle and see Noctowl and Donphan get some screen time after a couple of years. I wish Noctowl could've been used like this in Johto but at least it got some redemption here. Gible using Draco Meteor while biting down on its opponent was a pretty neat idea.

[wobbanut]

I knew from the time I read the original title for this episode (relating to the trick room TM) that this would be a challenging episode for Ash. Since Ash relies so much on his pokemon's speed, he'd definitely have a challenge fighting a move that makes slower pokemon attack faster for several turns. At least it was creepy Conway that used it, instead of Paul.

I also liked the renewed gag of Cynthia having a hard time making choices. LOL

8/10

[TurtwigFan1]

A very, very good battle. Conway had such a great strategy, using Shuckle so he could discover all of Ash's Pokémon and then Trick Room. But Ash fought back tremendously well, and now he has to face Paul. It's gonna be an amazing battle, I can tell! Nice to see Team Rocket continuing to do well with their shop :')
