Unbeatable
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Unbeatable is the opening theme to the eighth season of the English-language Pokémon dub, Pokémon: Advanced Battle. It was used from AG093 to AG145 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 North American, United Kingdom, and Australian audiences. However, all three were later removed.

Lyrics
Ooooooh,
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!
Ooooooh,
I'm unbeatable!
Pokémon! Advanced Battle!
Ooooooh,
I'm undefeatable!
From the stars and the ancient past,
They come to play but they'll never last!
Ooooooh,
I'm unbeatable!
Pokémon! Advanced Battle!
Ooooooh,
I'm undefeatable!
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 go down to defeat before you begun
Ooooooh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon! Advanced Battle!
Ooooooh
I'm undefeatable
Every move, each attack you choose,
You think you can win but you'll always lose!
Ooooooooooooh,
Advanced Battle
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. In a way this is almost fitting, as this would be the last dub theme produced by 4Kids.
