How many tries will it take Ash to win?

We know chimchar, grotle and Staraptor are gonna battle sneasel, medicham and abomasnow, but will there be more pokemon used in the battle?

I wanna know what you guys think is gonna happen
 
I can't see Ash losing. 1 try.

There's so much other things going on around Snowpoint (Brandon, Galactic wrap up) that I do not think they can afford having the gym leader arc take up more than 2 episodes. If Ash should have lost, then it should've happened against Byron, but it didn't happen so...

As for if it'll be a 4on4 or 3on3, I really have no clue. Could go either way.
 
I just find it depressing how she isnt using platinum team because frolass and piloswine had recent appearances I'm hoping this doesn't mean Volkner will have an octilary and ambipom

Unless you want the grand festival and Sinnoh League to get crap treatment, I don't know why they shouldn't pace themselves properly. I mean is 2 episodes devoted to Candice's gym match too much?

Personally I would like it if the match got interrupted so that a particular event could happen, that judging by it's screen time should have happened already.
 
Hopefully he'll take only one try. I know people want him to lose so Candice can get more screentime, but maybe she can get it while dealing with the Snowpoint Temple stuff. Besides, I see Ash losing to Volkner anyway, so he doesn't need to lose here too.

It'll most likley be one epiode all the other seventh gym leaders appeared in two episodes and since they'll have the trainer school epsiode he'll win in one episode but something that makes no sence will happen because nearly all of his pokemon are weak to ice and that always happens if his pokemon aren't great against the gym's type

Grotle's the only one being used who has seriously bad typing against ice pokemon. Staraptor has close combat to deal with most ice types (and would be 4 times effective against Sneazel) and two of the 3 pokemon used are weak against flying moves anyway. Plus Abomasnow is 4 times weak to fire so his team is pretty balanced. I'd have prefered Buizel to fight rather than Grotle to make the typing seem well thought out but I guess he needs a gym battle.
 
I can definitely see him losing. With all the stuff around the city, we can easily get a bunch of episodes devoted to that in between the two gym battles. He'll obviously be staying in the area for a while, so why not get two battles out of it?

But it would be awesome if he had Ambipom...cause...first of all...it's Ambipom.

But then you'd be able to see an Ambipom that fights instead of participating in Contests.
 
We already saw that remember when Dawn battled Maylyne I want to see him have a jolteon and electrivire instead
 
A real Ambipom that does battles. Not a Contest Pokemon in battles. They're vastly different.
 
There will definately be something at the lake and theyre running out of time (already been like 3 years) so i say he'll do it on his first try.
 
I just love Candice, and wants to see her with Froslass... but unfortunately... won't happen because of that Sneasel and Medicham. >.>
Of course, we do want a Gym Leader to own our favorite Pokémon.

With Ash having Staraptor and Chimchar, no doubt it will win. And Grotle needs to be trained, for it needs to do something successful despite its massive change. And it's the perfect time to train with a Trainer with a type preference that is weak to Grotle. Awesome.

For Volkner, Luxray as his most notable Pokémon, and the others, Electivire and... no clue. Electivire only had one owner, it needs to be seen once more under other Trainer. While for the others, I don't have any idea.

Well Frolass has already made a notable appearance and Ambosnow needs a lttle time for itself. I guess Chim is obvious and Staraptor has just evolved so it may as well.
 
It would be cool if Hikozaru/Chimchar evolves in this episode but whatever happens, happen.
 
It's quite early for it to evolve.. I mean, Staraptor just evolved, give Ash's team a break, and other teams need focus.
 
No its not. DP129 is in the last week of may. That means the episodes if there is no break or if there is a double special would go up to DP133-134. I doubt they will put the evo so close to the movie I mean they would at least want to show ash controlling him a bit so around the gym or the 2 episodes after is fine.
