When Do Pokémon Horizons Episodes Release?

Pokémon Horizons episodes are currently only available in Japan, airing on TV Tokyo at 6:55 PM JST every Friday. This schedule proves to be inconvenient for most viewers in the US, as the episodes air at 5:55 AM on Friday for the US East Coast and 2:55 AM for the US West Coast. Additionally, since the broadcast is targeted towards a Japanese audience, the episodes are aired in Japanese and do not include subtitles. As a result, watching the show currently requires a basic understanding of the Japanese language. Fortunately, an English dub for Pokémon Horizons is slated for release in late 2023, although an exact date has not yet been announced.

What Happened in Pokémon Horizons Episode 16?

Episode 16 of Pokémon Horizons witnessed the valiant efforts of Dot, who took charge in the mission to recover Liko's pendant immediately after successfully capturing her Quaxly. While Friede was engaged in an unsuspecting battle, Dot managed to uncover a hidden cargo ship harboring Spinel. Although facing formidable adversaries in Spinel's Beheeyem and Magneton, Quaxly found the fight to be quite challenging. However, the situation took a positive turn when both Liko and Roy arrived, joining forces with Dot to confront Spinel as a unified trio for the first time. Their unity was tested when Spinel unleashed his significantly powerful Umbreon. Despite the grim circumstances, Liko's pendant suddenly activated, emitting a beam of radiant light that pierced the sky and granted Liko the ability to summon the ancient hero's Arboliva for assistance. With the aid of Arboliva, they successfully retrieved the pendant and made a daring escape from the ship, safely guided by Friede.

Pokémon Horizons Episode 17 Sees Special Training for Roy

In the upcoming episode 17, viewers will witness an intense battle between Friede's Charizard and Captain Pikachu during a training session. Additionally, Roy will be accompanying them on their journey to strengthen the bond between Fuecoco and his new Wattrel. This is crucial as Wattrel had a minor disagreement with Spinel during their last confrontation. Although Wattrel has already proved its worth by assisting in locating Liko and retrieving her pendant, it still requires further training to reach its full potential. Moreover, after the exhilarating quest to retrieve Liko's pendant, Dot has finally gained enough confidence to socialize with Roy and Liko outside the confines of her room.

The airship crew embarks on a new adventure, and Roy takes advantage of their travel time to train. With the Galar region ahead, Liko and Roy are excited for this unexplored part of the Pokémon world. Although Liko has a grandmother there, who was the original owner of the pendant, her secrets can only be unveiled if the crew can locate her. Pokémon Horizons is starting a fresh storyline, leaving Paldea behind for now to pursue new adventures.
