Or it could be that the Ultra Class proves more troublesome and slow than the previous two classes.
It's possible, but I don't see it. Not only because of how fast Ash went through the first two classes, but he's already defeated a Champion in the Great Class. Admittedly, I'm not sure how much weight Iris' Champion status has in the PWC when everyone starts at the same level and I don't like Iris becoming a Champion in the anime to begin with, but Ash struggling against Gym Leaders after defeating a Champion does sound odd on paper at least. Plus, aside from Bea and maybe Sabrina, Ash has already defeated the trainers that are seen/speculated in this group shot. I'm just not sure how believable it would be to make the Ultra Class more difficult when Ash breezed through the first two ranks through mostly off-screen/brief one-on-one battles and his one losing streak was barely a bump on the road. The better choice would have been to make the PWC look difficult from the start, not wait until Ash gets through the first two classes with relative ease.

If we couldn't get a three-on-three battle for Ash vs. Iris, then I'm less sure about that for the Ultra Class against Gym Leaders. They could have been doing three-on-three battles more regularly, or at least for his battles against Gym Leaders, but those are still only two-on-two battles too. The only full battle that sounds possible to me would be Ash vs. Leon, but even then, having it just be Gigantamax Charizard vs. Gigatamax Pikachu does not sound that unlikely to me.
