We will know whether Pikachu did evolve or not in the summary and voice cast for the next episode. Also for those saying that there's no Gigantimax Raichu, don't forget that they haven't revealed the Crown Tundra DLC yet. Chances may be they will reveal a Gigantimax Raichu among others, though...
I think I may know what happens in this episode. This may be where Ash and Pikachu is working on Gigantimaxing. Their first step will be to will it to happen. The two times it happened was outside of Ash's control. So we might see Pikachu's Pokeball, which may be why Pikachu may be reluctant to...
Concerning the egg, it really depends on the region Ash and Gou are in When Ash receives the egg. I believe that if Ash doesn't get the egg in the Galar region, then that rules out Sobble and Grookey, as Pokémon from the Galar region aren't as well known in other regions as the other three choices.
It doesn't bother me that Surge is out. For one, this isn't a gym battle for a badge to enter the Indigo league. This is his first step on his way to the Pokémon World Championship. Also he will battle in other regions to rank up, as this is a world championship, not a regional league. As for...
True, but on your second theory, if that happens then the fandom will probably call that an asspull, especially since there had been no buildup to Rotom being able to use that ability.
Also, concerning my pervious post, I love that Satoshi Nakano is one of the animation directors for this...
Nice to see that this exhibition match is a four part episode. I actually understand and appreciate that Aya Matsui is writing this episode, and not Atsohiro Tomioka. The rivalry between Pikachu and Tapu Koko started in episode 2, which was written by Aya Matsui, so it would be fitting that the...
Here's a fact: 800 meters converts to just a little less than half a mile. If I fell half a mile, at best, I'll break a lot of bones in my body; at worst, I'll die. It would depend on how I land. So I find it amazing that Lycanroc was able to keep fighting at all because of how hard he hit the...
Not to mention both sides switching pokemon when needed
1. Ash was preparing to swap Lycanroc out but he was too late.
2. Ash swapped Torrecat out after beating Venusaur.
3. Ash swapped Pikachu out after Pikachu was dizzy from the whirlpool.
4. Professor Kukui swapped Incineroar out after...
Did anyone catch Tapu Koko watching the battle from afar when Ash sent out Naganadel? This hints at Tapu Koko inserting itself into professor Kukui's team as his sixth member.
Pikachu may have gotten a win but Melmetal took a very good portion of Silvally's health away during the battle, thereby softening Silvally up for Pikachu to easily beat.
We do know that the Alola league took six Alolan days to complete. The first day was the battle Royale, the second day were the top 16 matches, the third day were the quarterfinal matches, the fourth day were the Semifinal matches, the fifth day was the final match, and the sixth day was the...
