* BreakTheHaughty: When [[spoiler:Ash faces Whitney for the Plain Badge, he chooses Charizard because he wants to knock her down a peg or two after seeing her over-confident attitude, but things go further than he anticipated]].



** During [[spoiler:his fight with Lance's Charizard, Goodra notes that the Pokemon has minimal fire-type attacks as Lance has concentrated on training its dragon-type moves, creating a weakness in its combat style. It's observed that Lance's Dragonite also suffers from this problem as his bulk makes it hard for him to keep up with Pikachu in their battle, although this is justified as few Pokemon of Pikachu's size would be capable of the power necessary to be more than an annoyance to Dragonite]].

** When [[spoiler:Ash faces Whitney, her reliance on her usual strategy of using Miltank's Attract and then Rollout works against her when facing Charizard; Attract doesn't work on Pokemon that mate for life and have already ''found'' their mate, and instead provokes Charizard into a wild rage against Miltank for trying to threaten that bond]].



* GoneHorriblyRight: Yveltal was apparently created when Giratina tried to prove that it could create life just like Arceus; since Giratina is known as the Lord of Death and Reincarnation, Yveltal was a creature of death rathern life.

** While Ash is travelling through Johto, [[spoiler:his attempt to break Whitney's arrogant attitude by using Charizard goes further than he wanted when Miltank's use of Attract provokes Charizard into a blinding rage that nearly kills Miltank and allows Charizard to deliver a CurbStompBattle to the rest of her team]].

** When [[spoiler:Ash faces Whitney, her attempt to have Miltank use Attract on Charizard provokes Charizard into a feral rage that causes him to inflict literally crippling injuries on Miltank and then tear through the rest of her team basically single-handedly, because Whitney didn't take into account that Charizards mate for life and get angry when something threatens that bond]].

** After [[spoiler:Whitney's Miltank's use of Attract provokes Charizard into a blinding rage at the threat to his bond to his mate, it's noted that only his close bond with Ash stopped him going so far that he actually ''killed'' Miltank in the subsequent battle]].

Incorruptible Pure Pureness has been renamed to The Incorruptible and redefined to be about characters who are portrayed in-universe as untemptable/incorruptible. Removing ZCE.


* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Ash himself;
--> '''[[KiAttacks Lucario]]''': You have been touched by evil, young one. But... it hasn't corrupted you. It CAN't corrupt you. You hold much anger, much guilt, but... you desire to help others. I haven't seen that since… well, before the [[GreatOffscreenWar Shadow War.]] You care too much for those you love that you won't let yourself hurt them..

* CurbStompCushion: When [[spoiler:Ash faces the Elite Four, he chooses a relatively random selection of his Pokemon, as most of them are so well-trained by now that he doesn't want to go in relying on specific types to blaze through his battles, but chooses to limit himself to feel like he earned his victories]].

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ash and Goodra in particular are noted as being particularly nice people, but dangerous when they want to get something done. It is also regularly observed that the Gible evolutionary line are very friendly and playful, but when angered they're perfectly willing to go on near-insane rampages against whoever wronged them.

** Ash is generally in favour of ThouShaltNotKill to give people a chance to reform and improve; if he's ever pissed off enough to openly want someone dead, it's treated by those who know him as a fairly clear sign that this person deserves it.
