Assuming Ash wins the sixth or seventh generation league and starts preparing to face the elite four and the champion. Obviously he won't be able to train all his pokemon to an incredibly high level so he would have to focus on certain pokemon instead. What 14 pokemon should Ash focus on training assuming he has to face the elite four and the champion? In other words, who do you think are his top 14 pokemon?
My picks:
1. Pikachu- its an obvious choice, its his only electric type, plus its won so many battles. Its small and fragile but still a great pokemon to have
2. Charizard- Obvious pick
3. Squirtle- still his best water type, like pikachu its small and fragile but tremendously experienced
4. Bulbasaur- can support the team very well with leech seed, excellent experience and fighting spirit
5. Snorlax- it can usually put away atleast two powerful pokemon on its own. Terrefic defense and a good movepool too, Snorlax is a must have pick for Ash
6. Heracross- has become alot stronger, plus its his only bug type pokemon
7. Donphan- i can see why some people might be against this pick since he has two other ground types (who also are both dual typed whereas Donphan is only a ground type). Still Donphan is so strong, i can't help pick it.
8. Sceptile- it can take down a legendary, enough said
9. Swellow- his most determined flying type
10. Glaile- like Snorlax, Glaile could usually take down a couple of the oppositions pokemon, sometimes even at a type disadvantage. He also really needs an ice type, especially when facing dragon type pokemon
11. Infernape- great ability, plus its a fire-fighting type which gives it an advantage over a pure fire type
12. Buizel- buizel is a quality battler, plus his only water type with an ice type move
13. Gliscor- gliscor gets in not only because of its strength but also its versatility
14. Gible- is really inexperienced but can hopefully evolve and become a real weapon for Ash
