Was there literally no reason for Tobias to exist besides being a mysterious dude with mythicals and legendaries to kick Ash's ass so he could be railroaded into going to the next reigon instead of beating the league?
No he is the epitome of a Gary-stu.
It was clearly a reference to pokékids that like to play through with a team of legendaries/ubers and just sweep everything. It's a pretty empty experience
Basically.
Not much else he's good for besides that.

It was to show Ashey boy his place in the world of pokemon trainer. There are fuckers with mythical pokemons, while Ash can't evolve his starters.
