It has been announced that Terastal Debut, the new chapter of the popular anime Pocket Monsters airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke", will start airing April 12th, 2024. The main visual that's been presented depicts Orange Academy from the video game Pocket Monsters Scarlet, with Roy and Dot wearing Orange Academy uniforms. And for some reason Liko's Nyahoja is nowhere to be seen...

They're all surrounded by Elite Four members Aoki, Chili, Poppy and Hassaku, popular characters from the video games, as well as Nemo and Gym Leaders Colza and Nanjamo, who have all appeared in earlier episodes.

This new chapter will depict Liko, Roy and the others' Terastal Debut, as well as show how they'll interact with the popular characters from the video games now that they've decided to study on exchange at Orange Academy for Terastal training.

Then there is Explorer's Sango, who said in today's broadcast that she would "summon" Rayquaza. In the video released today, we can see the Explorers plotting as well as the Black Rayquaza. The climactic episode of Terapagos' Shine is also a must-see before the new chapter!

A special Pokémon anime trailer has also been released! The "Terapagos' Shine" chapter is hitting its climax! What is the Explorers' Plan for Capturing Rayquaza? Will Liko and Roy be able to stop it? ...And then it's on to an all new chapter!

2024-03-22 PM2023 44: The Plan for Capturing Rayquaza

image

The words Sango from the Explorers passed on were "summon Rayquaza". Friede pinpoints the island where the Explorers' hideout is located based on the clues he has, and he, Liko, Roy and Randou head there. However, they're met with a trap set by Spinel! Will Liko and the others be able to stop the Explorers' Plan for Capturing Rayquaza?

2024-03-29 PM2023 45: To Places Far Far Away

image

The Explorers' plan has led to the Black Rayquaza finally showing itself, and Liko and Roy get completely overwhelmed in the face of its incredible power! However, if they're going to get through to it and communicate how Terapagos, and they themselves, feel... it's now or never! It's time for a battle against Rayquaza where the two of them throw absolutely everything at it; All the encounters they've had and all the experience they've gained since they set off on their adventure with Pokémon!!

The TOYOTA Engineering Society, together with The Pokémon Company, have launched the TOYOTA MIRAIDON Project, a project to convey the joy of imagination and the power of manufacturing through future imagining by children.

image

The TOYOTA Engineering Society MIRAIDON will be exhibited for three days from March 15th, 2024 to March 17th, 2024 at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya Atrium.

What is the TOYOTA MIRAIDON Project?

The Toyota Engineering Society is a voluntary organization within Toyota Motor Corporation, consisting of members appointed for a one-year term who are interested in the study of technology, and it has been running for more than 70 years. Every year, the group exhibits the results of the year's manufacturing project at Waku Waku World, a joint event between Toyota City and the Toyota Engineering Society.

image

This time, as we were considering the Toyota Engineering Society's 23rd year theme, "Future Mobility," while referring to 8,000 questionnaires collected from elementary school students in Toyota City, one picture caught our eye. A Miraidon was drawn very well. It is a Pokémon that many children wish to have in their future mobility: "A Pokémon that communicates like a friend and is fun to ride on its back." It is a Pokémon that clearly embodies the dreams of children.

The Pokémon Company motto is: "to enrich both the real world and the virtual world with the Pokémon characters" and the company strives to do interesting things and take on the challenge of new possibilities, and these pictures by the children are a help to inspire. Together with the Toyota Engineering Society, we started this project to convey the message that "adult's serious goals become children's dreams" and that "Dreams don't end as dreams, imagination creates the future."

In just six months starting in June 2023, manufacturing professionals gathered together with partner companies who supported this idea to created the TOYOTA Engineering Society MIRAIDON, a moving Miraidon that is almost life-sized.

What is TOYOTA Engineering Society MIRAIDON?

TOYOTA Engineering Society MIRAIDON is a future mobility idea in the shape of the Pokémon Miraidon that can be encountered in Pokémon Violet. It was created with the experience and technology of Toyota Engineering Society and the cooperation of The Pokémon Company. It is an almost life-sized reproduction of Miraidon in terms of weight and size with great attention to detail. It is also a product that showcases the power of manufacturing as it can be transformed into "drive mode" and "4-legged mode" and also has some movement.

image

What is Miraidon?

Miraidon is a Legendary Pokémon that appears in Pokémon Violet released in 2022. Miraidon, the main character's partner who battles and grows together, can change its appearance depending on the situation. It can walk on four legs or take the form of a two-wheeled motorcycle (Drive Mode), allowing the protagonist to ride to various locations.

image

Notes:

  • Numbered tickets will be distributed for test rides. The order will be based on the numbered tickets.
  • The number of tickets is limited. Please be aware of this.
  • The times of the test-ride and exhibition may change on the day.
  • Visitors weighing 65 kg or more are not allowed to test ride.
  • For safety reasons, we reserve the right to refuse test rides.

The password was revealed at the end of the YOASOBI ASIA TOUR 2023-2024 Live in Jakarta YouTube clip and it is: Y0AS0B1B1R1B1R1

Parmot is the evolved form of Pamot, and Nemo's partner, the main character of the novel After the Rain With You, written by Ayano Takeda. Parmot is featured on the cover of the Biri-Biri digital single as well as in the Biri-Biri music video.

image

Here is a message from Ayase of YOASOBI, who is a big fan of the Pokémon series!

Comment from Ayase:
Parmot is a Pokémon that I am so attached to that when I played Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, I had it in my "traveling party".
The song Biri-Biri, which I wrote for this project, is centered around Parmot, which is an evolved form of Pamot and also appears in the original novel.
I hope that those who have played or will play Pokémon Scarlet Violet and The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, will love Parmot and add them as a traveling companion while feeling the world through the music and the original novel.

Ayaseさんからのコメント
パーモットは、僕が『ポケットモンスター スカーレット・バイオレット』をプレイした際に1番最初の「旅パーティ」に入れていたくらい思い入れのあるポケモンです。今回書き下ろしをした「Biri-Biri」という楽曲は、原作小説にも登場するパモが進化したパーモットを中心に作りました。 『ポケットモンスター スカーレット・バイオレット』や『ゼロの秘宝』をプレイしている方も、これからプレイする方も、楽曲や原作小説の世界観を感じながら、パーモットをぜひ旅のお供にして可愛がってくれたらなと思います。

The password required to receive YOASOBI's Parmot will be available on the official Pokémon site around 12:00 p.m. JST on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024.

Celebrate Pokémon Day with Miraidon in Pokémon UNITE

Bring the Thunder and shock the competition as this Legendary Pokémon from the Paldea region. Miraidon is Electro Drifting its way into Pokémon UNITE this Pokémon Day! This Dragon- and Electric-type Pokémon was first discovered in the Paldea region and accompanied Trainers throughout every step of their Treasure Hunt in Pokémon Violet. Now, the Legendary Pokémon is ready to lay down Electric Terrain and shock the competition on Aeos Island as a powerful Ranged Attacker. You’ll be able to add Miraidon to your roster as part of a special event: Miraidon’s Sandwich Challenge. In this event, Miraidon’s Unite license can be obtained without spending Aeos coins or Aeos gems.

The Miraidon’s Sandwich Challenge event will be held in Pokémon UNITE from Monday, February 26, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. PST to Saturday, March 23, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT. Players can obtain dice by logging in (and through other means) and then roll them to advance squares on a board. As players advance squares, they can complete missions to earn Aeos Sandwiches that can then be exchanged for Miraidon’s Unite license.

To commemorate Pokémon Day and Miraidon’s introduction to Pokémon UNITE, players can use the
gift code POKEDAY24 to obtain a platinum Miraidon Pokémon boost emblem, which has useful effects in battle. This gift code is redeemable until March 31, 2024, at 4:59 PDT. To redeem this gift code, follow these steps:

  • Launch Pokémon UNITE on your mobile device or Nintendo Switch.
  • Select the events icon on the right side of the main menu.
  • Select the Daily Events tab.
  • Scroll down and select Gift Exchange.
  • Select Exchange and then enter the gift code on the page that appears.

Read on to learn more about everything Miraidon has to offer in Pokémon UNITE’s latest update and to pick up some tips before battling with this Legendary Pokémon.

Miraidon Basics

Basic Attack - Deals damage to opposing Pokémon.
Ability: Hadron Engine - When Miraidon hits a Pokémon from the opposing team with a move, it creates Electric Terrain. Miraidon can consume a portion of its collected Aeos energy to expand the area of the Electric Terrain it creates. If Miraidon or its allies are within the Electric Terrain, their attacks deal additional damage and they cannot be put to sleep. Electric Terrain strengthens ally team goals and weakens opposing team goals. Hadron Engine goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves

Thunder Shock - Miraidon sends a jolt of electricity in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits.
Thunder Wave - Miraidon discharges electricity at the designated opposing Pokémon, dealing damage and leaving them paralyzed.

Lv. 5 Moves

Charge Beam - Miraidon charges power before firing an electric beam in the designated direction. If Charge Beam hits opposing Pokémon, Miraidon’s Sp. Atk is increased for a short time, and Miraidon stores electric power. If Miraidon stores electric power twice within a short time, it can use a boosted version of Charge Beam. The boosted version has Miraidon continuously fire an electric beam in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect. A maximum of two uses can be kept in reserve for this move. Charge Beam can be upgraded to decrease the time it takes to store a use of this move.

Electro Drift - Miraidon races forward in the designated direction while spinning, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in its path. Miraidon also stores electric power. If Miraidon stores electric power twice within a short time, it can use a boosted version of Electro Drift. The boosted version has Miraidon do a spinning attack aimed at the designated opposing Pokémon, dealing damage to any opposing Pokémon it hits. Electro Drift deals increased damage if the opposing Pokémon’s remaining HP is low. A maximum of two uses can be kept in reserve for this move. Electro Drift can be upgraded to decrease the time it takes to store a use of this move.

Lv. 7 Moves

Thunder - Miraidon summons a cloud in the skies above that drops wicked thunderbolts. The summoned cloud moves slowly toward the nearest opposing Pokémon, dropping thunderbolts whenever a set amount of time passes. The thunderbolts deal damage and apply a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon they hit. Thunder can be upgraded to strengthen the slowing effect applied to opposing Pokémon when they are hit by lightning.

Parabolic Charge - Miraidon floods the area around it with electricity, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. If Parabolic Charge hits opposing Pokémon, Miraidon recovers HP and also recovers one stored use of either Charge Beam or Electro Drift. The more opposing Pokémon Parabolic Charge hits, the more HP Miraidon recovers. Parabolic Charge can be upgraded to grant Miraidon a shield when it is used.

Miraidon’s Unite Move, Bright Future Meteor Storm - Miraidon calls down five meteorites in a row, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon they hit. If a meteorite hits an opposing Pokémon, the next meteorite to fall will deal increased damage. The final meteorite deals higher damage in a wider area of effect and throws opponents.

Metagame Watch

Strong Against: Zacian
One of the hallmarks of Miraidon in Pokémon UNITE is its Ability Hadron Engine, which allows it to create Electric Terrain in the heat of battle. This spells trouble for Melee Pokémon when they challenge Miraidon, because fighting at close range often means going into Electric Terrain and taking a ton of damage. Zacian does plenty of damage on its own as a Melee Attacker and can nullify ranged damage to a certain extent with Metal Claw, but taking out Miraidon on Electric Terrain when it has multiple uses of Charge Beam in reserve may be a tall task.

Weak Against: Mew
Miraidon has a great deal of mobility and long-range damage, but Mew may have it beat in both departments. Mew’s Light Screen and Solar Beam exceed Miraidon’s range, making it difficult for Miraidon to do damage without taking some punishment of its own. The mobility afforded by Mew’s Surf and Agility also create situations where Miraidon is unable to get close enough to attack at all. Electro Drift and Parabolic Charge may be Miraidon’s best bets for dealing with Mew.
