Unbeatable is the opening theme to the eighth season of the English-language Pokémon dub, Pokémon: Advanced Battle. It was used from Clamperl of Wisdom to Pasta La Vista! as well as in the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. It was written and produced by John Siegler and David Rolfe.
The opening animation featured footage from the eighth and ninth Japanese openings, Pokémon Symphonic Medley and Battle Frontier. The inclusion of animation from Battle Frontier revealed three new Pokémon: Mime Jr., Weavile (neither of whom had official English names yet at the time), and Lucario to western audiences. However, all three were later removed in Vanity Affair. The shot of Lucario and Mew were replaced with a scene from Solid as a Solrock of Pikachu using Iron Tail.

Lyrics

Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest
Advanced Battle is the ultimate test
From the earth, the land
The sea and sky
They can never win, but they sure can try
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
From the stars and the ancient past
They come to play, but they'll never last
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon

Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable

Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh

We'll never give in, we'll never rest

They can never win, but they sure can try

Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh

You think you'll win, but soon you'll see
You may beat some, but you can't beat me
I'm undefeatable
There's a feeling deep inside me
And it's always there to guide me
It's in my heart and in my soul
Leading me to the ultimate goal
You can try your best, this might be fun
You'll go down to defeat before you've begun
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable

Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
Every move, each attack you choose
You think you can win, but you'll always lose
Oh oh oh

I'm unbeatable
Trivia
- The appearance of Deoxys in this opening flying with the Legendary birds is reminiscent of the first dub theme, where Mewtwo was flying with the Legendary birds.
- This opening has the most Pokémon species in it, with 72.
- Also, this opening has the most Pokémon in it, counting the same species, with approximately 300.
- This opening also has almost every Legendary Pokémon released up to Generation III, excluding only Lugia.
- While James's Mime Jr. appears, it was not captured until the following season.
- Because of this, Mime Jr. was painted out from Vanity Affair onwards, making this the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed.
- The closing credits feature a shot of Zapdos and Moltres flying past Ash, which is not present in the opening credits.
- This is the first opening to feature Pokémon that were from Generation IV that had not yet been revealed outside of Japan.
- The Dutch version is sung by Herman van Doorn, while the German version is sung by Noel Pix. For the movie version the Dutch text was slightly changed: "spelen gemeen" (play mean) became "spelens gemeen" (playing mean), a clever word play. People can mishear it for "spelen ze mee" (playing along).
- This opening features the Battle Frontier symbol along with the Frontier Brains, all of whom are shown as shadows with the exception of Noland. This is possibly because he is the only one to appear in Advanced Battle while the others did not appear until the next season.
