* AttackAttackAttack: Practically Ash's entire strategy for this gym battle, considering he thought it’d be easy to beat a gym leader who’d rather surf. However, he underestimates his opponent and keeps his guard down, pushing his Taillow and Treecko so hard that his ultra-offensive strategy eats away their stamina and causes his defeat: after using Wing Attack too many times in a short period of time, Taillow is fatigued after Machop tanks the hits and gets immediately taken out with a single Cross Chop, while Treecko only wins because Taillow had weakened it. He's clearly tired, but because Ash has already lost Taillow, he keeps fighting against Makuhita, who dodges all his Pound attacks. After Makuhita evolves into Hariyama, Treecko is doomed and loses badly.

* WorfHadTheFlu: It doesn’t detract from Brawly’s skill as a trainer, but the Gym Leader outright states at the end of the episode that if Ash had kept a level head instead of being infuriated at his [[BunnyEarsLawyer seemingly carefree opponent]], the battle could have gone very differently.
