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 in Once in a Mawile. The shot of Lucario and Mew were replaced with a scene from Solid as a Solrock of Pikachu using Iron Tail.

Lyrics
TV Version
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
(Advanced Battle!)
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm undefeatable
Oh oh oh
(Advanced Battle!)
I'm unbeatable

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
(Advanced Battle!)
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
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'll go down to defeat before you've begun
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
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
(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.
- 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.
- As of 2009, this opening also has the most complete legendary trios in it, as the only ones missing are the Generation IV lake guardians and the dragon trio, and they weren't known to the public during that time.
- This opening also has almost every legendary Pokémon released up to Generation III, only excluding Lugia.
- Oddly, James's Mime Jr. appears. Mime Jr. was captured the following season.
- Because of this, Mime Jr. was painted out from Once in a Mawile onwards; making this the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed. Another running change would not occur until Battle Cry - (Stand Up!).
- The closing credits feature a shot of Zapdos and Moltres flying past Ash, which is not present in the opening credits.
- This is the only dub opening not to feature episode clips, prior to the change of animation.
