Question for Ash Ketchum's durability

[CryoTheMayo]

Yeah, they should also scale. It's true that much of their defeats are gags but they happen consistently and there is, to memory, nothing to contradict them scaling to it.

Although, I would note that it's extremely doubtful for them to be blasted off by, say, Pikachu going all out. Ash has consistent feats of handling enraged or bloodlusted Pikachu's attacks. So I would scale TR based on what level of AP they have displayed the ability to tank.

If you wanna go that route, James has tanked a bloodlusted Victreebel trying to eat him.

Also, they usually tank the very same thunderbolt that KOs their own pokemon, so its 7-A anyway because otherwise Arbok and Weezing wouldnt be affected.

 

[CryoTheMayo]

I'd say feats like that should be properly analyzed and argued to decide if they are legitimate Durability feats. If James can tank a bloodlusted Victreebel then him scaling to 7-A (and likely Jessie and Mewoth who are comparable) would be completely reasonable.

aint this consistency
