Lets say instead of assembling and training the new masters 8 team he just focused on his past aces instead, would he still win the tournament? If not, how far does he go? If he does win, does he win with less difficulty with using and training his aces instead for the tournament? The aces cant use any new mechanic they never used before like gigantamax, z moves, mega evolution, etc. unless they are pikachu but power up forms like Blaze Infernape or Ash Greninja are fair game.
