CoroCoro Comic's Official website posted an article about this episode just before the original airing on November 12th, 2021. They also tweeted about the page on the official CoroCoro Comic Twitter account to promote it.

It's almost time for Anipoke! Koharu and Eievui met the Ice Queen and Glacia!


The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! It airs every Friday at 6:55 p.m. and it is very popular! In this article, we'll introduce you to the Pokémon and characters that will appear in today's episode, as well as comments from the voice actors and director, and other Anipoke information you won't find anywhere else! This week's episode takes place at the school that Go and Koharu attend!

It's the usual day at the Sakuragi Institute, but Satoshi's expression is unusually somber. On the way to school, Koharu sees a girl with a Glacia in the park and tries to call out to her, but loses sight of her.


▲ A girl who calls her Glacia "Micie" and seems to be friendly with her.

When they arrive at the school, they are told that a new student is coming to Go and Koharu's class today. The new student was Regina, the girl with the Glacia that Koharu had seen in the park!　


▲ Satoshi was full of anxiety, but Go's announcement about Satoshi made him popular!


▲ Regina has an attitude that seems to keep people away from her.

Koharu is interested in Glacia, the evolved form of Eievui, and actively talks to Regina, but Glacia, Micie, who is trying to protect Regina, is wary of people from the school she's never seen before, and to her surprise, she gets annoyed at Go and Koharu's classmates and puts them in ice!


▲ Micie interacts with Satoshi and his Pokémon at the Pokémon Garden, where they leave their Pokémon during class.


▲ Go and his classmates ask Regina, a new student, a lot of questions.


▲ And then Micie, mistakenly thinking Regina was in danger, rushed in and unleashed a Blizzard!


▲ All of the classmates have been frozen in ice!

And things take a crazy turn! Little by little, the reason why Regina doesn't open up to everyone and the reason why Micie is trying so hard to protect Regina will be revealed!


▲ What is the shocking truth that Regina tells us...?

Check back today at 6:55 for the rest of the story!
