Goodra remained rather goofy and emotive, while Noivern, Talonflame and even Greninja are shown giddily dancing during Serena's public Showcase. They retained the occasional comical moment however.
Not So Above It All: All the evolved Pokémon of the team developed more serious and focused personalities by their final evolution. Although, as Ash's powerhouse, it seems that Greninja is much faster than everyone else, even more since the lead-up to the eighth gym battle, where it looks like he's actually flash-stepping, a la Dragon Ball. As a bonus fact, all of Ash's Kalos-origin Pokémon (except Goodra, a Mighty Glacier) are the fastest Pokémon introduced in Generation VI (ignoring Mega Evolutions of older Pokémon) * Talonflame being the fastest, followed by Noivern, then Greninja, and then finally Hawlucha. Their weaknesses are more on them being specialized at certain things and share similar weaknesses. Lightning Bruiser: They hit hard, they hit fast, and they can tank hits (compared to their game counterparts, of course). Dwindling Party: In the 7-on-2 match against Lysandre on top of Prism Tower, Ash's team slowly whittles down one by one from the might of Mega Gyarados, until Pikachu, Ash-Greninja, and Alain's Charizard are left. Breaking Old Trends: The first team of Ash's that lacks the Grass starter, or any Grass type at all for that matter. The previews to the Final Rounds of the Lumiose Conference call them Ash's Ultimate Team. This team has also so far represented Ash's unbelievable tactics in battle and how they are growing. They are the very first team of which all new members fully evolve. They especially show off their badassery whenever they evolve, which tends to happen when they see Ash and Pikachu or each other in danger, or are on the ropes in an important battle. Almost all the Pokémon have been in and earned at least one win in a gym battle (if not, they at least did some damage before getting knocked out). This includes a newly hatched Pokémon making excellent use of its natural ability who eventually evolved to battle a legendary Pokémon and even gain the upper hand. #WHATS THE POKEMON X AND Y ANIME CALLED FULL#
While not even a full team for most of the series, this team, plus Pikachu, has managed to show amazing growth in both in and out of battles. Badass Crew: Let's recap them at the end of the series: Pikachu, two Dragon-Types, including a pseudo-legendary, a Badass luchador Lightning Bruiser, a Glass Cannon bird, and the unique Super Mode of the most powerful Kalos starter.
Talonflame and Goodra are completely debatable. Ambiguous Gender: Hawlucha and Noivern are confirmed to be male, Greninja is also implied to be male but only in the English dub.
