Diantha’s an underrated champion in my opinion. She had a great battle with Lance. And although she was done dirty against Leon, her Gardevoir definitely put in a lot of work
Considering her last battle in the Anime thus far was against Leon's Ace of Aces and Champion destroying Charizard, She did really well. And Lance's team wasn't half bad either. And she is a very underrated champ who's ace could take down several of my Pokemon that I have ever used.
I agree Kalos competitors were done wrong in the masters 8 tournament 🏟 but Gardevoir did well in her fight I love how she was able too use Gmax FireWild against Charizard which would been hilarious if Leon were defeated by their own attack.
@@TsuriaDragon I agree. But I feel bad for Kalos in general. They have some strong trainers, but a lot of them are easily beaten by Sinnoh and Galar’s best. If I wrote it, and if we could go back, I’d definitely give them some gratifying justice. But I’ll never know.
Diantha's Gardevoir is underrated People still overlook that she deflected Leon's gmax charizard strongest attack Which no one succeded to do so before
I found the idea of Diantha only using eye contact to command Gardevoir really interesting. I wished they used that a bit more in the battles she had in Journeys.
It probably helps that Gardevoir is a psychic type Pokemon, and thus is likely able to read Diantha's mind to find out what she wants her to do that way. Thinking about it like that reminds me of Anabel, who was able to use her psychic powers to command her Pokemon when she battled Ash
I think only using eye contact would have been unrealistic, because Gardevoir can't constantly be looking back at Diantha when she should be looking at her opponent.
They nerfed her so bad in journeys. They eradicated her super speed all dodge hax, her eye to eye contact, and her pompous power. If only they gave her these, she could've had leon's charizard a run for its money
Gardevoir and Diantha really deserved better. I remember back when I was a kid and I really wanted to see an uninterrupted fight between Mega Gardevoir and Mastered Ash-Greninja. That would've been the coolest thing ever.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver Mine as well I mean greninja almost defeated diantha's gardevoir in the fight they had and would've won for sure if ash and greninja wouldn't have lost control!
@@christopherbeltran7697 Another thing to factor was Diantha and Gardevoir weren’t going all out during the fight. They were mainly spamming shadow ball as they wanted to test Ash and Greninja, not properly fight them. If they were going all out, given Diantha’s Gardevoir’s moveset in the games, they would’ve been using moves such as moonblast and thunderbolt.
@@thatoneguy5343 Yeah, I've always felt the same way. At that point in Ash's journey, he hadn't yet become quite strong enough to be able to take on a champion level trainer and win, otherwise we probably would have seen him get a victory over Alain that so many people had hoped to see him achieve
dianthus potential as a trainer honestly boggles my mind, the fact that she managed to keep her position as kalos champion despite how tight her schedule is and how busy her career as an actress keeps her and yet she’s managed to keep her title even with all the battle hardened mega evolution trainers running around is extremely impressive. So just imagine if she focused on battling full time, she’d be unstoppable
Diantha is DEFINITELY One of MY Fave Champs who's not a MC or A Rival. Love Her just as much as Cynthia🏆😍 Just when she gets the respect she deserves when Battling Lance🥰,...THEY done Her & Her Mons dirty when Vs. Leon👿 WE KNOW that she'd lose to Him BUT they didn't have to treat her like that...and all for ANOTHER "Axew is Lost" Moment in the middle of the Episode😢😭
Diantha definitely proved herself as the most technical of the Champions in the Master 8. While others focused on power and matchups she made the got the most out of her mons!
Great to see you back! Diantha's Gardevoir did an amazing job against Leon's Charizard. I was half expecting her to create a mini black hole like in her Pokedex entry to absorb the flames.
It’s already bad enough that Diantha is not as popular as Steven or Cynthia but her curbstomp battle with Leon seriously did not help. XD Thanks for the video, Professor.
I think they tried to recreate that but tbh I thinks that’s with most trainers with a psychic ace but diantha probably has the strongest psychic ability we seen so far surprised Annabel
Diantha is one of my favorite champions since she’s got everyone’s favorite Pokemon, Gardevoir, as her ace! I also liked how she went toe to toe with Ash’s Greninja.
Talk about wasted potential in my opinion. Such an awesome Pokémon for a champion with an epic battle against Greninja... But gets thrown to the wayside... But slightly redeems itself in the first one of the Master's Tournament against Lance. Only for the writers to say... "Screw Kalos. Let Leon decimate them all!". Diantha and Gardevoir should have had way more screen time and interactions with both Ash and Alain. She could have a mentor to both, easily. As Subzero kindly put it, "Such wasted potential."
Thanks for doing this one professor! I definitely feel like Diantha is a bit under appreciated and was happy to see her do well against Lance. I think she gets overlooked because of Ash's Greninja doing so well against her and almost beating gardevoir but that was more of a testament to Greninja's potential and what levels it can reach, more than Diantha being weak IMO. Also, would love to see you tackle Cynthia's Garchomp! That one would be amazing!
didn’t Diantha hold back, and Greninja didn’t lose to Alain’s charizard, who couldn’t even defeat Leon’s basic charizard, after Alain won his championship and became stronger. Greninja is overrated as Cynthia
Diantha is not only and underrated champion, ambit also a character as she never tried to understand where Ash greninja’s unique power came from nor did she, and Gardevoir try to improve and get stronger for the league or the Master’s eight. In her defense she did help stop team flare and put up a good effort against Leon.
So apparently Leon's Charizard was holding back against Diantha's Gardevoir, according to the magazines. Man the writers really hate Diantha don't they.
That make no sens, In the manga or the game or the anime I don't remeber whitch one it's say that Leon always give 100% of him in each battle even the easer ones, so he must give his max in this one. (If i well remember, it's against Raihan in the anime where he say that He will always do the best in each battle even if it's not a offcial battle)
I thought she will destroy Leon 4 or 5 Pokemon but she failed to destroy Leon 5 Pokemon. Her mega gardevaior power is same of Steven 's mega metagross Leon is stupid trainer why he didn't give respect to kalos trainer Alain and diantha
I was disappointed in their debut episode that Diantha's opponent didn't Mega Evolve his Absol. Seriously, seeing Gardevoir debut its Mega Evolution during that match would've been more epic that way as opposed to a Team Rocket trap...
I feel like the only reason why they chose not to have his Absol mega evolve is because they already showed it off when Astrid used it to battle Alain in his first appearance, and then later against Ash during the opening of Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction. Personally, I kind of wish they would have shown her off a little more, as she could easily have just made only one appearance and been done afterwards, only to have her make a few more minor appearances later on
@@ProfessorAlexSilver i sure did, though I wish gardevoir got more battles and appearances, like I get she's with a champion and they don't get shown often but Cynthia was shown quite a lot in both the sinnoh series and the legends arceus special Gardevoir and diantha deserve more
I love diantha tbh, she's such a cool character and i really like her design, it's a shame they did her so dirty against Leon recently (she was literally getting swept by his rillaboom lmao).
When i was a child gardevoir was Always my favorite pokemon , and i Always wanted a Champion to have one , so when 9 years old me learned my New favorite pokemon owned by Ash (greninja) was going to fight my second favorite pokemon owned by a New champion you can guess i Lost my mind , man X Y and Z are such good anime .
Oh yes Diantha’s Gardevoir, it was pretty strong. Ash battled against it twice. With Greninja, the bond transformation activated and Ash passed out in the middle of the battle before it was determined so the battle between Gardevoir and Greninja ended up being a tie. The time that Team Rocket attempted to kidnap it, Diantha mega evolved it so it would be powerful enough to break the prison it was in. It was awesome that they saw mega evolved Gardevoir for the very first time. When she appeared in Journeys she defeated Lance I believe in the Master’s 8 tournament and lost against Leon. The only move that I remembered using was shadow ball. I’m telling ya Leon’s Charizard is tanked(even more tanked than Alian’s Charizard), it’s going to be tough to beat when Ash fights against him.
@@Mannyindahouse For me personally, the main reason why I always opted to use it was because while I normally prefer Alakazam, you don't need to worry about trading with anyone to get a fully evolved Gardevoir, making it less of a hassle to use
If Greninja and Ash didn't pass out then it's a strong possibility Diantha would've lost the match. Perhaps Cynthia could be the next regional champion you cover in a future video.
Diantha has always been underrated, but it's because some aspects of her team doesn't match up (Ex. Why does she have the 2 Kalos fossil Pokemon). Though her team having a best single stat & PokeDex color unique from the others is a sweet double gimmick, she's been done dirty more times than any other champion & probably any other character (Except maybe Ryuki). Even in my first Pokemon X playthrough years ago I two-shotted Mega Gardevoir... with a Furfrou... that was the same level.
The writers in Pokemon Journeys (like a lot of other returning characters and sub-plots) didn't do Diantha's Gardevoir justice. I mean this, AFAIK, is the strongest Gardevoir in the Pokemon world, but what made this Gardevoir memorable was the insane dodging ability it, well, used to have. I was expecting a lot more development of said dodging ability considering the time passed and the lessons learned from her battles in XY/Z. If you've played "God of War: Ragnarok," and remember how Heimdall's fighting style was introduced---yeah that's the psychic-awareness-level I think Diantha's Gardevoir should have been at by the time of the masters eight. Seeing such mind-bending (literally and figuratively) dodges would have made it a proper send-off----the only reason that didn't happen was either they ran out of budget for such cool Heimdall-like dodging animations (which would have been unprecedented in the mainline anime, I think), or the writers couldn't come up with a creative way for the Pkm. World Champ Leon to best such an ability and forced the loss for plot reasons instead. Sadly, this further reinforces one of the main reasons I REALLY didn't like Journeys (especially as a sendoff for the main series) summed up in 3 words----"Didn't do justice." (ofc there are a few plot-line exceptions to this problem, but they are few and far between).
That episode, XYZ 25, was when I believed that ash was gonna win it all. Goddammit, writers. You give him the upper hand against the champion, but he loses to that fking Charizard.
Yeah I have a question for this if diantha face ash that would be a good rematch back in kalos but if diantha face Cynthia in a battle It probably going to be hard for her to take down all of Cynthia best Pokémon team included her ace garchomp that everybody was scared of in gen 4
Ash been denied the chance to defeat his very first champion when Greninja almost beat gardevior really stung for me. To think now Ash has a total of two champion wins under his belt!
@@jarrodpchambers yes, and I’m not saying gardevior isn’t strong and wouldn’t go down without a fight, but how the battle was going, it would’ve taken a serious comeback to turn around after greninjas brutal beating. Like you said, we’ll never know
Video Topic idea. Battle of the Lucario. You put Ash, Maylene, Cameron and Korrina's Lucario in a one on one battle royale to determine which of them is the strongest/powerful of them.
Hi sir how r u sorry for replying u after so long the reason was I went to my hometown in mountainous region which lacked internet signals but I regularly viewed your videos btw like always great video
If it wasn't for ghetsis' hydreigon I don't think gardevoir would've been as good in the anime. If you don't know what I mean then,I have high suspicions that ghetsis' hydreigon was the reason behind the fairy types existence
@@ksoundkaiju9256 that's not what I was trying to imply, I can't speak from experience but I have definately heard stories of people getting destroyed by ghetsis' hydreigon in black and white and they literally made the fairy type the generation afte so ......
@@rabbidthor You aren't wrong; even I haven't played Unova games but after watching several playthroughs on RUclips, I can easily see why people regard it as Cynthia's Garchomp 2.0. This means, if you are underlevelled, that thing will sweep your team. Some even regard it tougher than Cynthia's Garchomp. Just look at Ghetsis' Hydreigon's coverage: Fire Blast and Focus Blast to cover every Ice type. Surf against Emboar so that Tepig Choosers don't have an easy way. STAB Dragon Pulse from 125 Special Attack to hit your other Pokémon hard with neutral effect. Steel was the only type that resisted Dragon but his Hydreigon has Fire Blast and Focus Blast. That Dragon Pulse also covers the boxart legendary given to you before the penultimate fight vs N ( after which you have to fight Ghetsis ). If Dragon Types like Kingdra and Palkia enjoyed theoretically no weakness ( only dragon, but they are dragons too ), Garchomp was seemingly overpowered and Spiritomb and Sableye had no weakness, Hydreigon was the ultimate push into the compulsion of creating fairy types. It's a shame that a duo, regarded as powerful as Cynthia and Garchomp, or maybe even more, never made its debut in the Anime.
I remembered the best moments for Diantha and Gardevoir is against Ash’s Greninja, Lance and Leon’s Gigantamax Charizard. But the battle between Leon and Diantha was too quick.
Gonna be honest, I feel like with the universal upgrade every single Kalos character got from game to anime, Diantha got it the worst to me. While everyone got 10x better, she kind of stayed the same to me. I actually have to give props to Journeys for really showing off Diantha's prowess in battle. Well, at least against Lance.
I think Diantha’s Mega Gardevoir was strong it’s just a shame you had to do a video of her after diantha’s loss to Leon that was done dirty to her as the full battle was not even Shown and Gardevoir should’ve heLd on longer against Charizard but the Win Lose Ranking is not bad I just hope we see Diantha battle again so she can get better Represented and I hope Ash will one day battle her again as they still have that Promise to battle again after he won a league since he won the Alola league.

After the kalos conference in the manga she actually took a break from the acting and traveled and trained
Diantha and Gardevoir deserve better.

It’s already bad enough that Diantha is not as popular as Steven or Cynthia but her curbstomp battle with Leon seriously did not help. XD Thanks for the video, Professor.
My pleasure:)
Cynthia is overrated as sin.
Diantha has the ability to communicate with Gardevoir telepathically without commands just like Frontier Brain Anabel and her Alakazam/Espeon.
I think they tried to recreate that but tbh I thinks that’s with most trainers with a psychic ace but diantha probably has the strongest psychic ability we seen so far surprised Annabel
Diantha is one of my favorite champions since she’s got everyone’s favorite Pokemon, Gardevoir, as her ace! I also liked how she went toe to toe with Ash’s Greninja.
She is the most underrated champion for wromg reasons....but she is my most favourite champion and none can change this fact
Gardevoir is one of my favorite pokemon because of its pokedex entry the other one is mimikyu
Great choices

Working on it!
Talk about wasted potential in my opinion. Such an awesome Pokémon for a champion with an epic battle against Greninja... But gets thrown to the wayside... But slightly redeems itself in the first one of the Master's Tournament against Lance. Only for the writers to say... "Screw Kalos. Let Leon decimate them all!". Diantha and Gardevoir should have had way more screen time and interactions with both Ash and Alain. She could have a mentor to both, easily. As Subzero kindly put it, "Such wasted potential."
Diantha's Gardevoir is exquisite and strong!
Great description :-)
She was great in the masters 8. Ash struggled with her in both of their battles. Underatted just bc she wasnt that hard in the games
That and she got wrecked by Greninja :-)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver but she didn't, you yourself said that it was a tie or something
Thanks for doing this one professor! I definitely feel like Diantha is a bit under appreciated and was happy to see her do well against Lance. I think she gets overlooked because of Ash's Greninja doing so well against her and almost beating gardevoir but that was more of a testament to Greninja's potential and what levels it can reach, more than Diantha being weak IMO. Also, would love to see you tackle Cynthia's Garchomp! That one would be amazing!

didn’t Diantha hold back, and Greninja didn’t lose to Alain’s charizard, who couldn’t even defeat Leon’s basic charizard, after Alain won his championship and became stronger. Greninja is overrated as Cynthia
Her show down with Leon's Charizard has the best animation, would've loved to see her actually surviving the g max form of Charizard.

The battle didn’t seem that charizard held back to be quite honest.
I thought she will destroy Leon 4 or 5 Pokemon but she failed to destroy Leon 5 Pokemon. Her mega gardevaior power is same of Steven 's mega metagross
Leon is stupid trainer why he didn't give respect to kalos trainer Alain and diantha
Yeah, she basically did on par with alain
The fact ash almost defeated her was insane
Leon disrespected both Alain and Diantha, it was disgusting.
Let's see how Ash fares :)
I don't care about Diantha but yeah Alain was done super dirty and it made me really upset!
I just had an idea. Why wasn’t Ash-Greninja just a mega evolution, if they gave all of the Kalos starters megas that would have made much more sense.
A bit cooler to have that unique bond imo
I was disappointed in their debut episode that Diantha's opponent didn't Mega Evolve his Absol. Seriously, seeing Gardevoir debut its Mega Evolution during that match would've been more epic that way as opposed to a Team Rocket trap...

At some point 😉
Meanwhile
Couple years into the future
X and Y remakes will see Diantha have Mega Gallade as well

That episode, XYZ 25, was when I believed that ash was gonna win it all. Goddammit, writers. You give him the upper hand against the champion, but he loses to that fking Charizard.
Trip's level 5 Snivy. 🐍🍃
Working on it :)
Another great video 🎉🎉
Thanks!
Yeah I have a question for this if diantha face ash that would be a good rematch back in kalos but if diantha face Cynthia in a battle It probably going to be hard for her to take down all of Cynthia best Pokémon team included her ace garchomp that everybody was scared of in gen 4
My money will always be on Cynthia
Thanks for the amazing video
My pleasure
Cynthia's Garchomp next, please
Hopefully within the next month
Nice video alex
Thank you!
Ash been denied the chance to defeat his very first champion when Greninja almost beat gardevior really stung for me. To think now Ash has a total of two champion wins under his belt!
That battle was siiick
@@jarrodpchambers it was on the verge of defeat. Gardevior collapsed from exhaustion after stopping team rocket.
@@jarrodpchambers yes, and I’m not saying gardevior isn’t strong and wouldn’t go down without a fight, but how the battle was going, it would’ve taken a serious comeback to turn around after greninjas brutal beating. Like you said, we’ll never know
Video Topic idea. Battle of the Lucario. You put Ash, Maylene, Cameron and Korrina's Lucario in a one on one battle royale to determine which of them is the strongest/powerful of them.
That'd be a great one! Ash would take the cake, though :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver The winner placements would be:
1st: Ash
2nd: Korrina
3rd: Maylene
Dead Last: Cameron
Kinda wish ash and Diantha had a battle that wasn’t no conclusion also she got done dirty with Leon she should of token more of Leon pokemon
It's to bad we may not get to Ash fight the other champs
How about do Misty's Horsea? It's a Pokemon that was left at the Ceruelean City gym along with Starmie.
Do on Ash's leavanny
Some day!
Please do Ash s Pignite
Working on it!
Would love to see you cover Eternatus
He's a very interesting and mysterious Pokémon
I'm waiting until journey's ends as I feel like a lot is still going to happen with it, but it's definitely on my list
Pokemon Journeys done her and Gardevoir dirty against Leon...
I suppose it was to be expected lol
@@ProfessorAlexSilver
I mean, we all know she was going to lose, but not let that.
Hi sir how r u sorry for replying u after so long the reason was I went to my hometown in mountainous region which lacked internet signals but I regularly viewed your videos btw like always great video
No worries! All I ask is that you enjoy :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver yeah obviously I love your content
I feel like Diantha is the most underrated champion but Ash could’ve beaten her if he didn’t pass out
I think Ash would've won for sure
If it wasn't for ghetsis' hydreigon I don't think gardevoir would've been as good in the anime. If you don't know what I mean then,I have high suspicions that ghetsis' hydreigon was the reason behind the fairy types existence
Hydreigon has a fair amount of weaknesses
Bug, Fighting,Dragon,Ice etc
@@ksoundkaiju9256 that's not what I was trying to imply, I can't speak from experience but I have definately heard stories of people getting destroyed by ghetsis' hydreigon in black and white and they literally made the fairy type the generation afte so ......
@@rabbidthor You aren't wrong; even I haven't played Unova games but after watching several playthroughs on RUclips, I can easily see why people regard it as Cynthia's Garchomp 2.0. This means, if you are underlevelled, that thing will sweep your team. Some even regard it tougher than Cynthia's Garchomp. Just look at Ghetsis' Hydreigon's coverage:
Fire Blast and Focus Blast to cover every Ice type.
Surf against Emboar so that Tepig Choosers don't have an easy way.
STAB Dragon Pulse from 125 Special Attack to hit your other Pokémon hard with neutral effect. Steel was the only type that resisted Dragon but his Hydreigon has Fire Blast and Focus Blast. That Dragon Pulse also covers the boxart legendary given to you before the penultimate fight vs N ( after which you have to fight Ghetsis ).
If Dragon Types like Kingdra and Palkia enjoyed theoretically no weakness ( only dragon, but they are dragons too ), Garchomp was seemingly overpowered and Spiritomb and Sableye had no weakness, Hydreigon was the ultimate push into the compulsion of creating fairy types.
It's a shame that a duo, regarded as powerful as Cynthia and Garchomp, or maybe even more, never made its debut in the Anime.
Day 1 of Asking For Korrina Lucario history
Random question Professor but who do you consider stronger diantha or iris
I remembered the best moments for Diantha and Gardevoir is against Ash’s Greninja, Lance and Leon’s Gigantamax Charizard. But the battle between Leon and Diantha was too quick.
That it was
What is next
The curse of animation limitations.
Ash’s Leavanny!
Working on him :)
Poor Diantha she was no match for Leon’s Godzilla🔥
Waiting for his mecha godzilla now
💯💯
He has Godzilla and King Kong he’s invincible
I love Gardevoir
Hope you like this :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I did ,I loved it could u do gothitelle or pancham if u aren't busy or if u have time
Pokeflix is dead
Why is it that Team Rocket has disapeared in all the recent/new pokemon series/game's?
All about those new teams I guess ha
Lance really used Max Wyrmwind on a fairy type??
That's just plain stupid for a champion lol
Lance works in mysterious ways
Hey Professor! What do you think about Trevors charizard? Could charizard become better?
Can you do Ash's Torterra next
Thinking on it!
Gonna be honest, I feel like with the universal upgrade every single Kalos character got from game to anime, Diantha got it the worst to me. While everyone got 10x better, she kind of stayed the same to me. I actually have to give props to Journeys for really showing off Diantha's prowess in battle. Well, at least against Lance.
Her fight with Greninja was more drawn out, but getting a few wins opposite Lance definitely upped her game imo. I especially liked her Gourgeist
I think Diantha’s Mega Gardevoir was strong it’s just a shame you had to do a video of her after diantha’s loss to Leon that was done dirty to her as the full battle was not even Shown and Gardevoir should’ve heLd on longer against Charizard but the Win Lose Ranking is not bad I just hope we see Diantha battle again so she can get better Represented and I hope Ash will one day battle her again as they still have that Promise to battle again after he won a league since he won the Alola league.
It was to be expected I suppose :(
Well we did get that
