Unless no one minds both being on the team, I'd actually prefer Torterra in this match over Bayleef. Yes I know Bayleef should be used. But let's face it Bayleef actually got a league win in its day against a Houndoom no less, Torterra really needs it. I'd say Torterra should take the win over Darkrai to make up for the fact it has been cheated ever since evolving but then I realize there are a few more Pokemon that probably deserve it more to take the win against Darkrai.So sorry Bayleef but here's what I want Ash's team to be:
Heracross (no choice in that matter) but no wins for Heracross.
Torterra (so it can win something against Darkrai's trainer to make up for the fact it has not won a damn thing as a Torterra). A win for Torterra.
Quilava- To make up for the fact that it got shoddy screen time VS. Nando. A win for Quilava.
Totodile- Although Kingler has it beat it is still up there as the most deserving water type. Have Totodile beat Darkrai (after a lot of damage dealt to Darkrai, so pretty much a team effort on this one).
Muk- Since it hasn't been in a match for a long time, and have it win since it hasn't won since even longer.
Glalie- Just like Heracross Glalie can be the fall guy as well in this battle.
So Ash beats four of Darkrai Trainer's Pokemon but Ash loses, that is the ideal outcome of this battle (although it's not going to happen).
