Only Light Screen was up at the time. Aurorus had enough bulk to tank at least one full power Body Press regardless of if it was his first move or second
1. Typings are mentioned multiple times in the anime, and even mentioned as having match-ups. However, not even the Anime is consistant with its match-ups. Pikachu had to set off the sprinklers to beat Onix, which makes you think it’s because it’s part ground right? Nope, because Aerodactyl is fricking immune to electric attacks.
2. If type match-ups weren’t a thing in the anime, there would be no reason to have typings in the first place.
3. It’s not a rule change, as established by point above. It’s just shitty writing. They don’t even tip-toe around it by having type favoring match-ups or having a sizable power gap. They just write frick you to get who ever win matches. Not a care for even having engaging battles and strategies are aren’t episode gimmicks or at least make sense.
Leon was using Flamethrower against a water-type pokemon.
Diantha was using Shadowball against a dark-type pokemon.
Anime works different compared to the games.
Lance used one Normal attack, Hyper Beam. The other move Dragonite used was Body Press, which is 4x effective on Aurorus. The actual issue is that both Lance and Diantha seemed to completely forget that Pokemon can dodge attacks. They just stand there the entire fight, the only dodge in the whole battle is the one at the end where Gardevoir dodges Hyper Beam.
That only works when the attacks are too fast to be dodged, or they're too close to each other to react in time. Otherwise, it makes no sense not to dodge whenever possible. And "dodge" is not a move, it's an action.
Writer sabotage, Normal vs Rock type doesn't begin to cover all the nonsense in that battle.
Lance was always nothing without his 6 pack of full restores
>Body Press
>Normal
He should have used that first to knock out the Aurorus in one hit instead of letting it set up.

Even so Body Press should have been Lance's go-to move off the bat not Hyper Beam.
The Pokémon cartoon doesn't follow weakness and resistance rules anon. I thought you would know that by now but here we are

he used dragon move on a fairy
Kek noticed that too - very Ash-like (Ash made the same mistake against Drasna). Must be a newbie champ thing.
And even with those shit moves, he almost won against a trainer that had type advantage the whole time.

I like the exchange of blows rather than spamming "dodge" which is not an actual move.

No. Whole Journeys writing is.
Replicated gen 1 ai perfectly, dunno what your complaining about.
