Seems interesting. Be nice to see everyone teaming up. I guess operation z move is a huge combination attack where everyone launches a z move at once.

I wonder if the search for mohn could play a role here?

It is indeed nice,

I also wonder if we’ll see Dia again considering Guzzlord is here.

 

[Bortgreen]

Here's your league interruption

 

[Zoruagible]

HA!
I was hoping Guzzlord would show up! I loved his episodes but I still felt like it didn't do the Pokemon enough justice

Here's your league interruption

Team Flare 2. O lol lol like with Zygarde

This is the ruined future Dia spoke of when Akuziking appeared in his timeline and wrecked his world? That’s some nice continuity right there actually.

 

[Revolver Furious Dragon]

Poipole returns anyone? Give ash a full team for a potential full battle?

 

[ash&charizardfan]

Would love to see dia again, and guzzlord coming back it was the best of two episodes in SM series.

 

[Xeogran]

Amazing, didn't expect a Guzzlord return!

 

[paipr_christian]

Wonder if this will be when we see the Tapus give Ash (and maybe crew) the Tapu Zstone and they use it to battle it.

Maybe Guzma is given a zband and Zstone to help out by the Tapus.

 

[Ambyssin]

Glad to see the stuff with Dia is, in fact, leading to Guzzlord showing up in this world. And this is, basically, what I had said could happen in so many of these preview threads: UB interruption. The only question is whose ceremony will be getting interrupted? XP

 

[pancakemonster]

I'm glad this is being saved for after the league proper ending, positioning it before the masked royal fight is a nice chance to get a break while still having that to look forward too. It would be nice if whatever mech TR is working on could be used here, so it wouldn't feel like all that time setting it up wasn't wasted (or worse, used as an excuse for a lame mid-battle interruption).

 

[Deleted member 384931]

All the not used Z-Moves wil be used here, I see that happening

 

[Doppelgänger]

I hope Guzzlord is completely unstoppable. That would really hype it as a dangerous threat.

 

[ash&charizardfan]

One way of bringing dia here is same way ash was send to dia's worl via two tapu kokos collaborating with dia helping ash in his world.

I’d rather this Pokémon interrupt an awards ceremony then the TRio. So much for that YouTube leak.

I was just about to say this. This might be our last big Z-Move spamfest before SM ends haha!

Plot twist. It's the TRio in a guzzlord robot
