Shame you rated that episode so low btw, it's one of my favourite battles in the series (it doesn't have much competition though I guess). It has a few logical inconsistencies such as Pikachu knocking Regice out in one hit, but I like to pretend that Rest just works differently in the anime, and Regice was taken by surprise by the hit.
