02:52number eight Ash and Hooper this is the legendaries
03:04while Hooper constantly asking people if they were surprised as it showed off its
03:09hoops abilities was all kinds of annoying it at least did something amazing in
03:142015's Pokemon the movie Hooper and the Clash of Ages as the heroes faced off
03:20against the angry Hooper unbound shadow form legendary Pokemon were pulled in to

04:04as Ash took on Alarn in the Kalos League final
04:16finally the anime's protagonist will lift the league title right well the battle was as hard-hitting as expected as the duo and their Pokemon put everything in the game

04:30with Ash's Greninja supercharged with bond phenomenon against Alarn's Mega Charizard X

05:05number six Mega Rayquaza Vs Deoxys
05:10while it's a fight we've seen before and which lasted for far longer that being in the 2004 film Pokemon Destiny Deoxys the franchise vastly outdid this famous rivalry in a fraction of the time in 2016
05:17Pokemon generations in Pokemon generations in Pokemon generations in an episode
05:29of around five minutes the visual power between the two behemoths was aЕН
05:44For around 5 minutes, the visual power between the two behemoths was incredible.
05:56Mega Rayquazor's opening gambit of obliterating the meteorite that held Deoxys with the force
06:01glitching out cameras certainly let us know what we were in for.
06:06As well as causing explosions, Rayquazor tore chunks out of Deoxys as it did its best to
06:11block and dodge attacks.
06:21The duo destroyed space rocks and heavily damaged satellites in their fast-paced fight.
06:275.
06:28Lugia vs. The Legendary Birds If you want to see four legendary flying Pokemon
06:33lay waste to the surrounding area and each other, then 1999's Pokemon The Movie 2000 is
06:40the film for you.
06:41With the baddie Lawrence III attempting to capture the Kanto birds for his collection, which disrupted
06:47their harmony, the trio went on the warpath against each other for dominance.
06:51If it wasn't for Lugia stepping in, Ash could have been blown up by the trio causing an explosion.
07:08The four legendaries took out their frustration in graphic form against each other.
07:14The frozen sea, the islands, and Lawrence's ship.
07:22With the latter being more than justified.
07:26There is no rest after winning.
07:34After claiming the Alola Pokemon League, Ash was set to face off against Professor Kukui,
07:39who was recently unmasked as the Masked Royale.
07:50Taking place across four episodes, the battle was fierce.
07:54But it really took off when Guardian deity Tapu Koko made sure it was Kukui's final Pokemon.
08:08After brutally taking out Nagano, Pikachu was up, the franchise mascot against a legendary.
08:15With the duo exchanging one mighty move after another, Tapu Koko, with aid from its other
08:20guardian deities, restored Z-moves for Ash and Kukui.
08:24The duo then released the powerful attacks, causing electricity to blast into the sky.
08:30The power became too much for the legendary, leaving Pikachu and Ash standing tall.
08:49Number 3 Arceus vs Dialga, Palkia and Giratina
08:54When a fight involves essentially the Pokemon God, it's always going to be a catastrophic
08:59battle.
09:09Taking place in the 2009 film Pokemon, Arceus and the Jewel of Life, the angry Arceus, who
09:15assumed it was betrayed by humans in the past, took out its fury on the town.
09:20The mythical Pokemon had no issue with slaying anything in its path, as it unleashed judgment.
09:26However, Palkia, Dialga and Giratina came to the rescue to battle their creator.
09:38In most cases, a three-on-one battle would be unfair, and it was.
09:43But not for Arceus, as it switched between its life plates to unleash powerful attacks.
09:49If Ash and friends hadn't been sent to the past to change the outcome, Arceus' power
09:53would have destroyed everything.
10:04One of the earliest powerful battles is still one of the best, and set the benchmark for
10:13similar clashes in the future.
10:21After being mistreated by humanity in 1998's Pokemon The First Movie, Mewtwo was filled with
10:28a thirst for revenge.
10:29So he beat and cloned various trainers' Pokemon, causing Ash to fist fight the legendary pocket
10:35monster.
10:36With a single move, Mewtwo sent Ash flying.
10:39If it wasn't for Mew popping up to save him, Ash would be dead.
10:43Then Mew and Mewtwo went to town.
10:51When Ash tried to stop them by stepping between the two powerhouses, unleashing their brutal
10:55attacks, he turned to stone, essentially perishing.
11:00If it wasn't for the magical properties of Pokemon's tears, Ash wouldn't have returned.

11:27Ash vs Leon For the final of the Masters 8 tournament, Ash
11:31and Leon faced off.
11:33Taking place over a whopping four episodes, the duo gave everything they and their Pokemon
11:38had.
11:55All the powerhouse gimmicks were used, Gigantamaxes, Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, as the two fought
12:02for the prestigious title.
12:04In fact, the amount of power unleashed caused Galar particles to destabilize.
12:08Potentially leading to another darkest day for the region.
12:20If it wasn't for Eternatus breaking free from the lab and stabilizing the particles, Galar
12:25could have been wiped from the map.
12:27Even after that massive warning, Ash and Leon used their Dynamax bands once again as they
12:32finished their battle in explosive fashion, with Ash coming out on top.
