In the season of Pokémon JourneysAsh Ketchum becomes the best trainer in the world, largely thanks to his DracovishHowever, anime fans They are bewildered by a peculiar element that appeared during Ash’s Dracovish battle against the Lionel’s Dragapult.
Ash’s Dracovish
Dracovish, un Fossil Pokemonis one of Ash’s most powerful monsters and plays a crucial role in the finals of the Eight Masters Tournament
During the battle against Lionel, Dracovish receives a strong enemy Dragon type hitwhich causes it to suddenly appear overwhelmed by a power shown through spikes on its back. This increase in power allows Dracovish inflict serious damage to the opponent and defeat several Pokémon from Lionel’s team.
Years later, fans are still waiting a clear explanation how this increase in power came about and why has not been mentioned again.
The strange power that was never explained
In the pokemon anime subredditone fan pointed out this confusion and many others shared their bewilderment.
One user theorized that the clash of dragon moves (Dracovish’s Dragon Charge and Dragapult’s Dracoarrows) could have awakened a latent power in Ash’s Dracovish, but this theory was never developed in the anime.
Other fans consider this increase in power as “weft armor“a convenient way for Dracovish to face stronger opponents.
On the other hand, there is the theory that the fight against Dragapult, another ancient creatureawakened the powers of Dracovish due to his nature of resurrected pokemon with old parts.
What do you think? Considering that the Pokémon anime has had numerous unexplained events and mechanics since the Indigo League, we don’t think we’re expecting any further explanation beyond the hypothesis presented in the episode.
