Ash's Hawlucha: Difference between revisions

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', Hawlucha was used in the semi-finals of the Conference as Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against Sawyer, where he entered the battlefield wearing a special wrestling suit made by {{an|Serena}}. He faced off against Sawyer's {{p|Slaking}}. Despite the type-advantage and Slaking's Ability {{a|Truant}}, Hawlucha wasn't able to deal serious damage to Slaking as it was able to take his attacks with ease and restore its health using {{m|Slack Off}}. As Hawlucha went for a Flying Press, Slaking finally retaliated with {{m|Counter}}, knocking Hawlucha out with a single hit.

Ash chose Hawlucha as his third Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]'s {{p|Weavile}}, in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''. He first exited his {{i|Poké Ball}} to console Noivern with his defeat, and then vowed to defeat Weavile for him. Hawlucha first attempted to hit Weavile with Karate Chop, but Weavile used its great speed to dodge all of his attempts while leading him into the water stream. Weavile then attempted to freeze Hawlucha's legs, but Hawlucha dodged the incoming Ice Beam which froze the water. Afterwards, Hawlucha took every single one of Weavile's attacks head-on, enduring them and becoming stronger from them. As Weavile went for another {{m|Night Slash}}, Hawlucha disrupted it mid-attack by throwing it to the ground, and then finished Weavile off with Flying Press. Next, he faced Alain's {{p|Bisharp}}. Despite the type-advantage, Bisharp proved to be a tough opponent. It immediately used {{m|Thunder Wave}} which {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} Hawlucha. After a collision between X-Scissor and {{m|Guillotine}}, Hawlucha attacked with High Jump Kick. Bisharp, however, dodged the attack, causing Hawlucha to crash into the ground and suffer [[recoil|crash damage]]. While being immobilized by his paralysis, Hawlucha was then hit by a Guillotine, a [[one-hit knockout move]], and was defeated.
