I think Brock should be up a tier, and possible put May down a tier. Brock's accomplishments from Sun and Moon onward shouldn't be undersold, him being on Par with Olivia alone should put him in Elite 4 tier since Olivia is an Elite 4 (tier in the anime, member in the games) trainer in her own right. Plus his victory over Kiawe is much more impressive when you consider Kiawe had a type advantage and a Z-move and it didn't do anything to Steelix. May's on the opposite side of that, The reason Blaziken was able to hold its own against Sceptile is because of its type advantage so it's not quite on par in terms of strength. I also wouldn't undercut Dawn's Victory over her, since May has had Glaceon longer than Dawn had Piplup, and Dawn wasn't even halfway through her first journey yet while May was already traveling through a 3rd region by then. If anything that make's Dawn's Victory more impressive. With that I think swapping May and Brock's positions makes the most sense.

Glaceon had just evolved from Eevee a few days before May used it in battle against Dawn in the final. May wasn't even aware of Glaceon's abilities thats why her plan for using Secret Power on Piplup backfired. If she had used Venusaur or Wartortle in battle then she most probably would've won. And that wasn't May's 3rd region but 2nd bcoz she had just went to Sinnoh to participate in Wallace Cup and evolve her Eevee. She was still traveling in Johto before that. So technically that was her 2nd region 1. Hoenn 2. Johto And tbh I don't think Brock can beat May. Her Blaziken must've gotten a lot stronger it can definitely beat Brock's Steelix. And she's also got Venusaur and probably Blastoise as well by now. So she'll probably beat Brock in a gym battle.

Sure, Ash and Goh lost, but you did see Goh's skills in that fight. Plus, he often does have pokemon such as Intellion and Scizor that can dish out quite a bit of punishment, matching Ash's Sirfetch.

@@Keiji555 You are saying Cinderace is stronger than Pikachu? Why not say Magikarp is the strongest pokemon in the world. They just did that on purpose to make Lucario and Cinderace fight together. Besides Pikachu was knocked out first because he was fighting Mewtwo alone at that moment. He is only good at catching pokemon but not that good at battling as he does not know how to bring out true potential of other pokemon besides Cinderace and Inteleon. Among Ash's friends, I honestly consider him to be at least stronger than Alola Crew (except Kiawe and Lana) and Serena (who is more into Pokemon performance instead of battling).
