What, Mugendina is at Shoot Stadium...
The stadium is filled with dark clouds.

Anipoke is just around the corner! The Masters Tournament Finals! Tonight, the battle changes in a big way...!


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! The battle, which became more intense as each match-up went by, took an unexpected turn...?


The battle between Satoshi and Dande is a fierce one, with neither side giving an inch. Last time, Satoshi defeated Dande's Dorapult, leaving Satoshi with four Pokémon and Dande with three. Satoshi seems to have the advantage in terms of the number of Pokémon, but all of Satoshi's Pokémon are wounded and worn out from the previous battles...!


▲ Satoshi seems to have the upper hand, but in fact, he is the one who is being cornered!?


▲ Dande's Gorirander, who tormented Carne in the semifinals, is here!


▲ Satoshi's Pikachu and Dande's Lizardon, each of their partners clash!

Dande unintentionally smiled in the middle of the fierce battle as Satoshi and his Pokémon come at him relentlessly. Now it's champion time from here on!


▲ Dande's style is consistent: Offense is the best defense. Dande's battles are just like Satoshi's!


▲ Kyodaimax Lizardon unleashes the special G-Max Wildfire move.


▲ Pikachu also uses its trump card, countering with its all-out Z-move, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!


▲ The most powerful special moves unleashed by their best of partners collide with sparks flying!

At the same time, something strange was happening in the Galar region! The finals result, which is the climax, is still completely unpredictable!! Check out today's broadcast!!


▲ It's Mugendina! And pieces of glass are flying all over. No way...!?
