Unveiling the Enigmatic Origins of Pokémon Horizons' Rarest Species

Pokémon Horizons has been focusing on Liko's pendant from the very beginning. With the transformation of the pendant into the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos, the story takes an exciting new turn. Continuing from the previous arc titled "Liko and Roy Set Off," the new chapter, known as "Terapagos' Shine," takes center stage, highlighting the mysterious and extremely rare Pokémon.

In Episode #25 of Pokémon Horizons, a significant clash took place between the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers. The Explorers attempted to steal Terapagos while Liko, Roy, and Friede were visiting Liko's grandmother. The intense battle caused substantial damage to the castle they were in, but everyone successfully escaped to the airship, leaving the Explorers empty-handed.

On the airship, Liko's grandmother presented her with a fresh task: locating the "Six Heroes," Pokémon that were formerly owned by the renowned ancient Adventurer Lucius. Terapagos appears to have a connection to these Pokémon, and unearthing its mysteries might necessitate the pursuit of these comrades from its history.

Pokémon Horizons' New Arc Brings Liko and Roy's Stories Together

After episode 25 aired in Japan, an announcement was made. This was accompanied by a poster showcasing the Terastal Form of Terapagos, a transformation that has not yet been seen in the anime. Currently, the method of transformation between these forms remains uncertain due to Terapagos not being available in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games. However, it is possible that the anime will reveal it before the games do. Despite being the start of a new arc, there does not appear to be a break between episodes, as episode #26 is scheduled for the following week.

Throughout the first 25 episodes of the opening arc, two main plotlines emerged. One focused on Liko and her pendant, while the other followed Roy's pursuit of the escaped Black Rayquaza, which had come from his Ancient Poké Ball. Although it was evident that the pendant and the Ancient Poké Balls were connected in some way, the nature of this connection was not clear. Now, in order to uncover the truth about Terapagos, they must gather the remaining Ancient Poké Balls, thus merging Liko and Roy's objectives. Terapagos and its relationship with these Pokémon have now taken center stage, providing fans with an opportunity to delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding this Pokémon.

Pokémon Horizons' Focus On Plot Makes It Refreshingly Different

The focus on Terapagos in Scarlet and Violet's upcoming DLC has undeniably generated excitement. The story surrounding Terapagos has been intriguing, seamlessly integrated into the anime's lore. Pokémon Horizons has successfully presented a plot-driven narrative, a departure from the old Pokémon anime. Episode 25 served as a climax for the first story arc, marking an exhilarating development. As Liko, Roy, and Pokémon Horizons embark on a new phase, the anticipation for the series' international release grows.
