* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** While Bronzor's Heatproof and Rain Dance are able to weaken Chimchar's moves, the Chimp Pokémon's Flamethrower and Flame Wheel still do enough damage to knock the Psychic/Steel-type out.
** Steelix's size works against it as Chimchar's Dig is able to weaken the ground and trap Steelix allowing it to be knocked out.
** After fighting Bronzor and Steelix in a row, Chimchar is left very exhausted and is knocked out by Bastidon's Metal Burst.
** Bastidon's face gives it a strong defense, so Gliscor primarily targets its unprotected back.
* TheWorfEffect: Buizel (who knocked out Crasher Wake's Quagsire and Floatzel and Fantina's Gengar and tied with Maylene's Lucario) is beaten by Byron's Steelix without doing anything to the Iron Snake Pokémon.

** Played completely straight in Steelix battle with Buizel which is a complete CurbStompBattle in the steel snake's favor.
* StoneWall: Their offense is nothing to sneer at but Byron's Pokemon, being Steel-types, have especially strong defenses.

The day has come for Ash's gym battle against Byron, with Roark acting as the referee. Byron's Steel-types are masters of defense so Ash must find a way to break through, which proves even more difficult than anticipated.


Added DiffLines:


* CallBack: Roark recognizes Ash's Chimchar as the one Paul used in his gym battle against him.


Added DiffLines:

* ScissorsCutsRock: Subverted; not only does Byron's Bronzor have Heatproof, which halves the power of Fire-type moves, normally super-effective, it also knows Rain Dance to weaken them further. However, Ash's Chimchar still beats it, though it takes tremendous effort.
