Dealing With Defensive Types!
Season 12, Episode 4
Ash finally gets to battle the Canalave City Gym Leader, Byron. In the first round Byron chooses his Bronzor, while Ash uses Chimchar. Ash tries to use Chimchar’s type-advantage to score an early victory, but this begins to prove ineffective when he learns that Byron has a defensive style of battling.
Trivia
-Byron had Steelix use Screech the same way Roark had his Onix use it when Ash battled him, indicating that Byron taught Roark that move.
-This gym battle is similar to Ash’s Gym battle against Jasmine of the Olivine Gym. Both Gym Leaders were fought in the 108th (however in the dub Byron is the 107th) episode of that saga. They both specialize in Steel-Types and own a Steelix. Each Gym Leader’s Steelix was defeated by that regions fire type starter.
-Ash defeats Byron and earns the Mine Badge.
