Summary
A fan of thePokemonTV show recently calculated the win rates of each of the creatures used by the series’ protagonist Ash Ketchum, sharing the results with the community. Ash had many Pokemon during the years, and calculating their win rates is a feat that shows the love of this fan for thePokemonfranchise.
Between 1997 and 2024, thePokemonTV series had 26 seasons, which often ranged from around 40 to 50 episodes each. During the first 25 seasons of the show, Ash Ketchum, his loyal Pikachu, and their friends were the protagonists, facing many opponents over the years. Ash only left the series at the end of “Ultimate Journeys,” the 25th season, which ran between December 2021 and March 2023.
Now, aPokemonfan called Aniruddha_Panda counted the win rate of all of Ash’s Pokemon in each region, determining the strongest creatures used by the show’s protagonist. This experiment achieved some interesting results, such as determining that Kingler, Charizard, and the undefeated Primeape areAsh Ketchum’s strongest Pokemonin Seasons 1 and 2, for example, which are covered in the first image shared by Aniruddha_Panda. While Mankey only fought three times, winning every match, Charizard participated in 25 fights, winning 18 of them. Pikachu’s numbers are not as good, however, as Ash’s main monster had a win rate of only 61% in the first seasons, followed by 58% in Johto, 68% in Hoenn, and so on, only achieving win rates over 80% in the last seasons of the show.
Win Rates for All of Ash Ketchum’s Pokemon
Other highlights of Aniruddha_Panda’s compilation include Pidgeotto’s lousy win rate of only 33%, and Gliscor’s win rate of only 28%, which is even worse. Considering that Primeape only lasted a few episodes with Ash and won every single match, it can easily be considered one of themost wasted Pokemon on Ash’s team, too. The numbers found by Aniruddha_Panda should be taken with a grain of salt, though, as the methodology that the fan used was not shared in the post.
Over the years,Ash Ketchum had Pokemon of many types. The trainer used 13 Flying-type, 10 Water-type, 9 Normal-type, and 8 Fighting-type monsters, for example, with some memorable examples of these critters being Pidgeot, Squirtle, Snorlax, Primeape, and others. While Ash is no longer the protagonist of thePokemonTV show, he’s by far the most well-known character in the franchise, so it’s likely that the community will see even more fans coming up with more interesting information about his teams in the future.
