From the very first episode of Pokémon the Series, there was Ash, Pikachu, and…Gary Oak. Ash’s relationship with Gary might be rocky at times, but there’s no denying that their rivalry inspires them both to work harder as Pokémon Trainers. Pokémon animation is filled with riveting rivalries from May and Drew to Gorebyss and Huntail. Spanning every region and encompassing Pokémon performers, Pokémon Coordinators, and even Pokémon villains, these rivalries are hotter than Alain’s Charizard’s Blast Burn.

Get your fill of these riveting rivalries on Pokémon TV, either on watch.pokemon.com or via the Pokémon TV mobile app.
