Exclusive Sneak Peek: Pokémon Horizons Episode 21 Release Time Revealed!

The latest episode of the new series of Pokémon Horizons takes the characters on a thrilling adventure to the mines of Galar in search of the Black Rayquaza. However, they unexpectedly stumble upon a new friend along the way. Fans eager to watch episode #21 should take note of the following information.

When Do Pokémon Horizons Episodes Release?

New episodes of Pokémon Horizons are broadcasted on TV Tokyo every Friday at 6:55 PM JST. Unfortunately, for viewers in the US West Coast, this means tuning in at the rather inconvenient time of 2:55 AM on Friday, while those on the US East Coast would have to wake up at 5:55 AM. To add to the challenge, the episodes are only available in Japanese without any English subtitles. This makes it essential for viewers to have some understanding of the Japanese language in order to follow the storyline. However, there is good news on the horizon as Pokémon Horizons is set to be released with an English dub in late 2023. Although a specific date has not been announced yet, fans can look forward to enjoying the series in their native language soon.

What Happened in Pokémon Horizons Episode #20?

Episode #20 of Pokémon Horizons continued the story where episode #19 had left off, as Liko and Roy encountered Kabu, a respected Galar gym leader. Kabu, originally hailing from the Hoenn region, intrigued Roy with hopes of learning more about Rayquaza. Discovering their pursuit of the legendary Pokémon, Kabu offered to assist them in their training. Liko took advantage of this opportunity to develop innovative techniques while Fuecoco acquired the impressive Flamethrower attack. Engaging in a thrilling double battle with Kabu, our heroes were unable to withstand the might of his Centiskorch. Through this humbling experience, Liko gained a valuable lesson in respecting her opponents during battles. In recognition of their hard work, Kabu disclosed his sighting of Black Rayquaza, unveiling a new destination for the team to explore.

Pokémon Horizons Episode #21 Will Introduce a New Friend

In the preview of Episode #21, the group encounters a solitary Hatenna, which appears to be facing some challenges. They kindly invite the tiny Pokémon onto their ship, and it instantly forms a bond with Liko. Hatenna possess a unique ability to perceive and respond to people's emotions; however, they struggle with handling intense feelings. Hence, the reserved nature of Liko makes them a suitable match as Hatenna's trainer. Yet, it remains uncertain whether Liko intends to capture this Hatenna or if it is simply seeking help in its natural habitat or even desiring to live aboard the airship without being captured, similar to Fuecoco and Quaxly.

Liko's potential acquisition of a second Pokémon makes the upcoming episode quite significant. It appears that the team will reach the Galar mines by episode #22, so dealing with Hatenna won't be a major diversion. As Liko continues to learn the ropes of being a Pokémon trainer, obtaining a second Pokémon would mark a significant milestone, freeing her from relying solely on Sprigatito. Episode #21 of Pokémon Horizons brings the focus back to Liko, providing her with another chance for personal growth.
