Why doesn't Ash swap out Pokémon more often?
For example, in the XY Pokémon league when he was battling Shouta (I think that's his English name). Ash used Talonflame against a Water Type, leaving him at a type disadvantage, resulting in Talonflame fainting. Why didn't Ash switch to Pikachu when the Water Type Pokémon was sent out?
Why doesn't Ash switch Pokémon when a Pokémon with a Type advantage against his current Pokémon comes out?
Best Answer
- Ash has never been a very clever Pokémon Trainer
- Ash is very stubborn and will always keep fighting until his Pokémon is knocked out.
- Maybe the matches are lockdown (no switch) in the anime?
- Because Talonflame is his best friend and trusts him with his heart :D
Also that builds up suspense, so that Ash can bring out Pikachu as his very last Pokémon win against the odds.

Answer 2
He often uses Pokémon that are at a type disadvantage, but he very often still wins. I mean he defeated a Snorlax with his Pikachu in the first episodes. Either he really doesn’t care about winning or losing, or he just really likes his Pokémon and wants them to have fun. He might also simply want a challenge. I mean for me in the Pokémon Games, it’s pretty boring when you have an OP Pokémon and beat everything with one hit. His Pikachu is also not his strongest Pokemon, yet he pretty much uses it in almost every battle at least once. If you wonder what Pokémon his strongest is, it’s Greninja in it’s “Ash Greninja” Form. His Charizard is also strong, because it was able to defeat a Dragonite. But that’s just me.
