Worf Had The Flu doesn't apply if it takes place before the character became powerful in the first place.


* InvincibleHero: As with the games, he's never lost a Pokémon battle, and this fact is only played up more and more as the series goes on. By the time of the Masters Eight Tournament, [[spoiler:he's so overpowered that even other Masters Eight members such as Alain and Diantha barely stack up to him. So much so, in [=JN129=], he changes the rules last-minute to let Ash use ''all three powers'' of Mega Evolution, Z-moves and Dynamaxing against him. And even with such an advantage on Ash's side, the latter still comes close to losing to Leon if not for Pikachu's sheer determination.]] However, in a flashback, [[spoiler:it was shown that he had lost a battle against Sonia while they were rookies. This means he doesn't have zero losses, just none in his official record]].

* LightningBruiser: His Pokémon all possess exceptional power and speed, but are still tough enough to take hits. To emphasize this, an undubbed promo for the Masters Eight semifinals showed Leon with perfect stats for attack, defense, and speed, making him the only competitor with no physical shortcomings.



* WorfHadTheFlu:
** [[spoiler:His first loss against Sonia happened when he was a rookie trainer, long before he became the InvincibleHero he's known as today.]]
** [[spoiler:His second loss against Ash probably would've gone the other way if he hadn't handicapped himself by allowing Ash to Mega Evolve, Gigantamax (twice, although Leon himself also benefited from this), and use a Z-move in the same battle, in spite of the rules saying otherwise for the Masters Eight tournament.]]

Added DiffLines:

* InformedAttribute: He's stated to have a similar battle style to Ash in [=JN131=], but not much actually supports this in canon. Leon is shown to be significantly more tactical with a heavily planned out VictoryByEndurance through Dragapult's Dragon Tail, unlike Ash who relies primarily on the IndyPloy. In addition to this, Leon's ability to overcome type disadvantages in an extremely common occurrence in the anime (especially among rivals), while his use of Drum Beating's VineTentacles is fairly standard for ''any'' Pokémon that knows Vine Whip or similar tendril-based attacks, not just Ash's.

He talks about it a lot when Ash battles Cynthia

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSituation : He shows knowledge of Aura when watching Ash battle, [[spoiler: and seemingly tries to account for it during his full battle with him,]] but it is never elaborated where he got that knowledge or if he uses it himself at all

* CharacterExaggeration: Not only is his status as the Monarch much more prestigious than the games , but his "undefeated" status is extremely played up as well, especially in ''Ultimate Journeys''. The games imply that not every battle he has is necessarily a CurbStompBattle, with Raihan in particular stated to be able to knock out more of his Pokémon than any other trainer. In the Masters Eight Tournament, however, he defeats [[spoiler:Alain and Diantha]] with little trouble despite both being among the strongest trainers in the world.

* FantasticRankSystem: He's No.1 of the world's strongest 8 in the Master Class of trainers. The Championships Tournament is for those 8 only. Goh warns Ash it's no cakewalk to get into that category. The ranking system is based on an individual trainer's win-to-lose ratio. Ash can't advance if he loses too many battles. Leon swiftly shot up to this top-tier Master Class because he's ''never lost'' an official battle.
** [[spoiler:After finally being defeated by Ash in ''[=JN132=]'' and finishing as runner-up, the rankings would obviously be adjusted to show he's No.2. Leon congratulates him, but warns Ash he'll train harder than ever to become Monarch again.]]
