The official website of the Pokemon anime, Terapagos, announced on Friday, November 24, that a three-part short anime featuring the new Legendary Pokemon Terapagos, called Pokemon Horizons: The Series, will be airing from December 1 to December 15.
After Satoshi's story concluded, the Pokemon franchise introduced two new protagonists, Liko and Roy. Liko joined the Rising Volt Tacklers after encountering the mysterious Explorers, with Roy joining soon after. The two new members have since joined the group on exciting new adventures.

In terms of the anime, the initial arc has concluded, delving into Liko and Roy's pursuit of the secrets held by their pendant and Ancient Pokeball, respectively. Following this, the series has commenced its second story arc, entitled "Terapagos no Kagayaki" (The Brilliance of Terapagos). This arc premiered on October 27 and has already unveiled several episodes.
What is Terapagos?
Terapagos, a Legendary Pokemon, was unveiled in the ninth generation of Pokemon games through The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk DLC. Its debut in the anime occurred in the second episode of Pokemon Horizons: The Series, where it briefly appeared alongside Liko's pendant.

Subsequently, it was uncovered that the pendant was actually the dormant form of the pokemon. After its complete awakening in the 23rd episode of the series, it has been accompanying the Rising Volt Tacklers openly.
The pokemon has the ability to create a protective shield, but there is still much more to discover about its capabilities. It is known to have two forms: Normal Form, which is dark blue, and Terastal Form, which is light blue. Unfortunately, little else is known about the differences between these forms at this time.
