[[File:EP008.png|thumb|250px|[[EP008|One of the filler episodes]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
'''{{wp|Filler (media)|Filler}} episodes''' are used by {{wp|anime}} and other TV shows to extend the time between the individual {{wp|plot point}}s of the major {{wp|story arc}}s, or between the end of one major story arc and the beginning of another. A filler episode is one in which nothing happens to affect the progress of the long-term story arcs or to develop the main characters, and no returning side characters, or other significant persons (other than the main characters), appear.

Any episode during a '''filler arc''' may also sometimes be described as a filler episode. A filler arc is a storyline (often, though not always, shorter than the regular arcs) in which, over a number of episodes, an adventure is detailed that is unrelated, or tangential, to the main story arc(s); often, the filler arc adventure does not derive from the original source material. Episodes in which permanent changes or character development occur can happen during a filler arc.

==Purpose==
In manga-based anime, fillers have been used to put distance between the anime and its source material, preventing an overlap that would cause trouble for both forms of the series. Filler episodes may follow a formulaic plot, loosely based on a main episode, which will either enter the backstory of a certain aspect of a show or tell a completely new tale involving the main or supporting and even one-shot characters from previous episodes. Fillers also may introduce aspects that may complement or contradict the canon of the original source. It is not uncommon for filler story arcs to be used within a series in order to fill an episode count and subsequently build up to a main story arc.

==In Pokémon==
{{incomplete|section|2=Needs info on ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', and ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' fillers}}
''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'' is the first episode considered a "filler" episode in the Pokémon animated series. The 36-episode {{DL|List of original series episodes|Orange League arc}}, which accounted for the {{DL|Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|delayed release}} of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, can be considered a filler arc. Despite this, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} both obtain Pokémon they continue to use, though Ash's team is back to what it was at the end of Kanto when he travels to [[Johto]]. Many other important events also occur during this saga, for example, {{AP|Charizard}} beginning to obey Ash.

Infamously, ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver]]'', set in the Johto region, contain the most filler episodes of any series. These episodes, including the 13-episode arc in the [[Whirl Islands]], served as a way to buy time for the releases of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The large number of one-off filler episodes is likely due to the cancellation of the [[GS Ball]] as a major {{wp|MacGuffin|plot device}}, which would have debuted {{p|Celebi}} and consumed a large portion of the time spent in Johto, in favor of featuring Celebi in the [[M04|fourth movie]] instead.<ref>http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points</ref>

When ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' started, filler episodes were reduced due to the introduction of [[Pokémon Contest]]s. As with the Kanto saga, however, Hoenn was followed by what some consider a "filler arc", [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], which built up for the arc corresponding to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Despite some considering Pokémon: Battle Frontier a "filler arc", many important events took place within the season, similarly to Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands.

''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' had fewer filler episodes than the previous two series, ''Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver'' and ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', but is occasionally criticized for the year long gap between Ash's [[DP127|seventh]] and [[DP179|eighth]] Gym battles. It is often alternatively seen that due to the vast supporting cast featured in Sinnoh, and the focus on character development in humans and Pokémon, the episodes which are deemed "filler" are not exactly so. For example, the conclusion of the [[Team Galactic]] arc, {{an|Dawn}}'s last Contests, and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] were all aired during this gap.

''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' also had fewer filler episodes than previous series, mainly due to the speed of the series and the focus on character development, similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''. Another "filler saga", the journey through the [[Decolore Islands]] in [[S16|Pokémon BW: Adventures in Unova and Beyond]], was released towards the end of ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. However, unlike previous "filler seasons", this arc had fewer major events due to the absence of any kind of League. The only important events that happened during this arc were {{an|Professor Oak}} catching a {{TP|Professor Oak|Rotom}}, and [[Alexa]] joining Ash and company. Similarly to the Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands, this arc was likely made to buy time for the release of the next games, in this case, [[Pokémon X and Y]].

''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' had little filler in the beginning of the series due to the premise of Ash and [[Goh]] acting as research fellows. Over time, however, filler episodes were sprinkled in to fill out time between important events.

'''''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters''), also referred to informally and by fans as (Japanese: '''リコロイ''' ''LikoRoy'') in Japan, is the eighth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the second animated series of the Pokémon animated series in the West. It follows the adventures of [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], alongside the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], in a search for the group of Pokémon known as the [[Six Heroes]] and to discover the mysteries surrounding {{an|Terapagos}} and the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]]. The series is based on the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including Pokémon and characters from the [[Generation IX]] games {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. For the first time in Pokémon animated series history, ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' features an all-new cast of characters and a more linear plot without connections to previous series. It succeeds {{aniseries|JN}}, and, in the West, {{aniseries|PTS}} as a whole. It premiered on April 14, 2023 in Japan with a one-hour special, and on March 7, 2024 in the United States.

Like with the previous series of ''Pokémon the Series'', this series introduces a new art style. The outlines of the characters, along with the color scheme, are drawn more smooth and less sharp compared to {{aniseries|JN}}, but still retain the human character designs within the latter series. The skies of [[Galar]] are also no longer depicted with a cloudy, grey sky similar to the common weather of its base country, the United Kingdom.

Episodes in ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''HZ''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series episodes|list of ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
Pokémon Horizons: The Series is an exciting new Pokémon story featuring the adventures of Liko and Roy, as well as the many friends and foes they encounter! Meet interesting groups like the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers, plus other important characters and countless Pokémon along the way.

==Plot==
The series features dual protagonists [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], who join together with a group of adventurers known as the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and set out to travel the [[Pokémon world]] with them, visiting various [[region]]s introduced in the [[core series]] from [[Kanto]] to [[Paldea]]. Liko also finds herself targeted by the mysterious [[Explorers]] organization, which is after her equally mysterious pendant. During the series, [[Dot]], another member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, joins the group of main characters and begins traveling with Liko and Roy as they enroll in [[Naranja Academy]] to learn to use the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. After completing the course, the Rising Volt Tacklers continue their search for the [[Six Heroes]] and [[Laqua]].

During the ''[[Mega Voltage]]'' arc (which takes place a year later, after the events at Laqua), Liko and Roy decide to uncover the mystery of the remains of [[Laquium]], as well as recover the good name of the Rising Volt Tacklers, who were accused by the Explorers of being the culprits of the Laqua incident.

==Arcs and seasons==
In Japan and Korea, the series is divided into chapters or arcs, with each given its own subtitle. In the West, it is divided into [[season]]s, with two so far.

The following table summarizes the Japanese titles, the English titles, and the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese]] and [[List of English opening themes|English opening themes]] used during the series.

====Notes====
<references group="lower-alpha" />

==Trivia==
* This is the second [[series]] to feature the flat "Pocket Monsters" logo, though with a new design. Starting with ''[[Mega Voltage]]'', however, it now features a more detailed "Pocket Monsters" logo for the first time since {{aniseries|SM}}.
** Both the Japanese logo and the English logo have a split color design, with blue and red coloring. The Japanese and Korean logo is split horizontally, with blue on the top half and red on the bottom half, and the English logo is split vertically, with blue on the left half and red on the right half.
* This is the first series:
** To not feature [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} as main characters.
** To not feature the [[Team Rocket trio]] as antagonists.
** To feature an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive [[villainous team]]: the [[Explorers]].
** To not have a [[narrator]] (with the exception of the "World of Pokémon" intro at the beginning of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'').
** To feature a female and male duo.
** To have both a Creative and Action Director as a staff position.
** To have none of the main characters participate in a major competition.
** To feature main characters in its arcs' titles.
** In which no main character is based on a [[List of game characters|game character]].
** In which a main character has a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon.
** In which the [[Generation IX|concurrent generation]]'s {{type|Water}} first partner Pokémon is not owned by a main character.
** In which the concurrent generation's {{type|Fire}} first partner Pokémon is the last to [[Evolution|evolve]].
** In which one of the protagonists catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]] that is a member of their [[party]].

** To feature [[human]] characters that are not part of the main cast in [[eyecatch]]es and foreshadow Pokémon captures by the main characters.
*** It is also the series with the most versions of eyecatches.
** To be unionized in the English [[dub]].
** To feature a clear timeskip between events in the animated series as shown in [[HZ089]].
** To be collaborated with the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, not counting {{pkmn|movies}}.
** To have all concurrent generation first partner Pokémon be given a game distribution.
** To have most of its episodes' English titles being a direct translation of the Japanese ones.
*** There's also been a significant decrease of the titles ending with an exclamation mark.
** Where the dub regularly uses the same footage for [[List of English opening themes|their opening themes]] as the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese opening themes]].
** To not have a Japanese opening used in any dub.
*** It is also the first series in which [[Will (song)|a Japanese opening theme]] has been directly translated to another language.
** To have a Japanese opening that's sung by a non-Japanese artist ({{so|Will}} and [[Only One Story]]).
** To not have a Japanese opening that is performed by [[Rica Matsumoto]].
** Since:
*** {{aniseries|GS}}:
**** That did not premiere within the same month of the newly released [[core series]] games.
**** In which the concurrent first partner Pokémon are obtained in [[Pokédex]] order.
*** {{aniseries|RS}}:
**** To have three main or recurring characters' concurrent first partner Pokémon evolve at least once. However, unlike the previous series, they didn't evolve in Pokédex order and one didn't outside of its native [[region]].
**** To have more than four opening themes in the Japanese version, not counting remixes.
**** In which the female protagonist has the Grass regional first partner Pokémon.
*** {{aniseries|DP}} to use more than one [[title card]], not counting special ones.
*** {{aniseries|BW}}:
**** To have all three of the concurrent first partner Pokémon have their [[gender]]s confirmed.
**** To have two-part episodes.
*** {{aniseries|XY}}:
**** To have three of the characters, main or recurring, have one of the concurrent first partner Pokémon each. However, unlike the previous series, gender ownership has been reversed.
**** To have two boys and two girls traveling in a group. However, unlike the previous series, all of them are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s instead of one of them being a Trainer in waiting.
***** Also to have four traveling in a group.
*** {{aniseries|SM}} to have the concurrent first partner Pokémon be in the title card. However, unlike the previous series, the concurrent first partner Pokémon in the title card change after evolving.
* Like Ash in {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Liko]] reads the episode title.
** Liko also replaces the role of the narrator from previous series, similar to Ash and {{an|Lillie}} in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Also, [[Roy]] narrates only in [[HZ090]] and [[HZ091]]. [[Dot]] narrates only in [[HZ102]].
* In some flashbacks (i.e. in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]''), the aspect ratio 21:9 is used instead of the usual 16:9.
* In this series, the division of the series into [[season]]s in the international version seems to be more closely aligned with the story arcs in the Japanese version. Both the [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series (season)|first]] and [[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua|second]] seasons contain exactly two story arcs, and the opening credits (or their versions) change in the same episode as in the Japanese version.

* To promote the third arc of Pokémon Horizons, ''[[Terastal Debut]]'', the animated series's official Twitter profile released a series of videos called LikoRoy Channel showing their attempts to become content creators like Dot. The videos can be found at:

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down; or, if playing on the [[Nintendo Switch 2]], while the Joy-Con 2 controllers are attached to the console upside-down.

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. Malamar uses its hypnotic power to force others to do its bidding. Those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event. People often utilize this ability for nefarious deeds. Malamar's hypnotic powers are said to have played a role in several history-changing events. It lures prey with the flashing pattern on its luminescent body and hypnotic motions, then ensnares them in its tentacles. The prey is then finished off with digestive fluids. Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[TCG]] show Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', it uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming leg-first. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be highly intelligent, reaching almost human levels, and capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Evolution===
Malamar evolves from {{p|Inkay}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped. Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with two other evil Malamar, where they attempted to initiate their plan of world conquest. After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

===Minor appearances===
Malamar debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar is the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which began online on September 4, 2025.

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light.

Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by a stereotypical extraterrestrial supervillain, a fairly common in trope {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be a combination of ''mal-'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), μαλάκιο ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''{{wp|calamari}}'', and ''mare'' (Latin for sea). It could also be a reference to the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions.

Calamanero may be a combination of ''calamaro'' (Italian for squid) and ''nero'' (Italian for "black" and "ink"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and 魔 ''ma'' (demon).

'''Inkay''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マーイーカ''' ''Maaiika'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Malamar}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down; or, if playing on the [[Nintendo Switch 2]], while the Joy-Con 2 controllers are attached to the console upside-down.

==Biology==
Inkay is a blue, squid-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with a rounded, pink body inside that has several yellow, circular spots that can glow brightly. There are four of these luminescent spots on the front and two on the back. Attached to its mantle are two transparent tentacles; its remaining tentacles are part of its main body, eight in total. It has round black eyes and a pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like}} mouth.

Inkay can cause its luminescent spots to blink and flash; this behavior serves a variety of uses. If Inkay is threatened, the blinking lights will cause its opponents to become dazed and lose their will to battle, allowing it to escape. The blinking also serves to attract Inkay's prey, which is then ensnared and held in place by its tentacles. Inkay also uses various complex rhythms and patterns of lights to communicate to others of its kind. Because of this, Inkay instinctively reacts to anything in its habitat that emits light or echoing sounds. By floating upside-down, Inkay improves its blood flow along with clearing its head. This also drastically boosts the power of Inkay's {{t|Psychic}} moves and is what triggers its [[Evolution]] into {{p|Malamar}}.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Inkay and its evolved form, Malamar, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Evolution===
Inkay evolves into {{p|Malamar}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In animation==
[[File:James Inkay.png|thumb|250px|Inkay in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[James's Inkay]]====
An Inkay appeared in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', which [[James]] {{pkmn2|caught}} while he was eating sandwiches. When James traveled to [[Alola]] in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Inkay was revealed to have been left at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. Inkay returned to James's party in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]''.

====Other====
Multiple {{pkmn2|wild}} Inkay appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', where [[James's Inkay]] helped save them, as well as some good Malamar, from the evil {{an|Malamar}}. James tried to release Inkay afterwards so Inkay could be happy with the other Inkay, but Inkay refused and rejoined his team.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Xerosic Inkay Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Inkay in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
[[Kanna]] owns an Inkay, as seen in [[LDK1]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Inkay debuted in ''[[PS554|Kangaskhan...Kangascan't]]'', under the ownership of a male {{tc|Poké Fan}}.

[[Xerosic]]'s {{p|Malamar}} was revealed to have been under his ownership since he was an Inkay. He evolved when [[Lysandre]] explained his peculiar Evolution method and demonstrated it by turning Inkay upside-down, making him evolve instantly. He showed up in a flashback in ''[[PS588|Chesnaught Protects]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Inkay (TCG)}}
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Inkay_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Inkay trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Inkay appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon in both versions of the game. It {{m|Topsy-Turvy|turns over}} and hits the ground, making all opponents who are on the ground trip.

Inkay also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Inkay may look like a Water-type Pokémon, but it's actually a Dark/Psychic type! Once it has reached the proper level, Inkay can evolve into Malamar if you hold the Nintendo 3DS upside down. In Smash Bros., its Topsy-Turvy move will flip anyone who wanders too close upside down. Watch out! ''

'''PAL''': ''A Pokémon that looks this much like a squid MUST be a Water-type, right? Wrong! It's a Dark- and Psychic-type. If you're struggling to get it to evolve, try holding your system upside down. In this game, Inkay's Topsy-Turvy move can knock you over, and you won't be much use like that, so watch out! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Inkay returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game. Inkay also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* [[Shigeru Ohmori]] came up with Inkay's method of [[Evolution]] into {{p|Malamar}}. He suggested the method as the development team were thinking of ways to utilize the internal {{wp|gyroscope}} on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name=GameXplain>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pXW8v3EFTs Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Developer Interview - Junichi Masuda & Shigeru Ohmori]." GameXplain. ''YouTube.''</ref> He also thought of the idea of a player discovering it on accident by turning their console to be amusing.<ref>[https://youtu.be/vB8EskmscKg?t=283 Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori Sun and Moon Interview]</ref>
** In addition to Inkay's evolutionary method being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], because the Nintendo 3DS is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal gyroscope.
** Inkay is one of Ohmori's favorite Pokémon from {{g|X and Y}}.<ref name=GameXplain/>
* Inkay and its Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Inkay and its Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Inkay is the only {{type|Dark}} Pokémon {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|with tentacles}}.
** Inkay is also the only {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|with tentacles}}.

===Origin===
Inkay appears to be based on a {{wp|squid}}, and it also seems to bear a small resemblance to a {{wp|cuttlefish}}. Considering its flashing abilities, Inkay may have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid|vampire}} or {{wp|humboldt squid}}s, or by {{wp|Deimatic behaviour#In cephalopods|deimatic behaviour}} in cephalopods as a whole.

Additionally, Inkay's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by a stereotypical extraterrestrial supervillain, a fairly common trope in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows.

====Name origin====
Inkay may be a combination of ''ink'', ''inky'' or ''{{wp|Cephalopod|inkfish}}'' and ''okay''.

Maaiika is derived from 烏賊 ''ika'' (cuttlefish or squid) and a pun on まあ，いいか ''Mā, iika'' ("Well, whatever"; "Oh well").<ref>Horan, Chiaki; Pettas, Nicholas (hosts) (October 15, 2013). "Pokémon X and Pokémon Y". ''Imagine-nation''. NHK World.</ref> It may also involve 魔 ''ma'' (demon) or 真烏賊 ''maika'' ({{wp|Japanese flying squid}}).

{{bulbanews/4|Pokémon TV launched online|Pokémon TV available now on iOS and Android|Pokémon TV app now available on Amazon Fire TV|Pokémon TV app now available on Roku}}
{{Samename|segment that occurs after XY&Z saga episodes|Poké TV}}
'''Pokémon TV''' is a free video service provided by [[The Pokémon Company International]] that provides select episodes of [[Pokémon animation]] and other video content to viewers. It is currently available as a [[YouTube]] channel that was launched on December 6, 2024, following its announcement on December 2, 2024.

It was first made accessible to users as a website in November 2010. It could be viewed through the internet with a web browser, or later by downloading the free Pokémon TV app on the {{wp|App Store (iOS/iPadOS)|App Store}} for {{wp|iOS}} and iPadOS (with {{wp|Chromecast}} support), on the {{wp|App Store (tvOS)|App Store}} for {{wp|tvOS}} ({{wp|Apple TV#4th generation|Apple TV 4th generation}}), on {{wp|Google Play}} for {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}} (with Chromecast support), on the {{wp|Amazon Appstore}} for the {{wp|Amazon Fire TV}}, on the {{wp|Roku}} Channel Store for Roku devices, and on the Nintendo eShop for [[Nintendo Switch]]. Beginning January 8, 2024, the app could no longer be viewed with a web browser or downloaded, though users who had already downloaded the app could still view available content until March 28, 2024.

==YouTube channel==
===Available content===
[[File:TPC market world map.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon TV is available in areas shaded in '''{{color|33a02c|green}}''']]
Videos on Pokémon TV are available with audio and closed captions in a total of 17 languages: {{pmin|the United States|English}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish (Spain)}}, {{pmin|Latin America|Spanish (Latin America)}}, {{pmin|the Arab world|Arabic}}, {{pmin|Croatia}}n, {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}}, {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}}, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, {{pmin|Israel|Hebrew}}, {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian}}, {{pmin|Poland|Polish}}, {{pmin|Brazil|Portuguese (Brazil)}}, {{pmin|Portugal|Portuguese (Portugal)}}, and {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}}. French audio and closed captions, not being originally selectable as an option, were subsequently added on March 15, 2025.

As the service is operated by The Pokémon Company International, it is region-locked so that videos on the channel are not available in Asian countries where [[The Pokémon Company]] retains distribution rights. In particular, it is not available in {{pmin|South Asia|Afghanistan}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Bangladesh}}, Brunei, Cambodia, {{pmin|mainland China}}, East Timor, {{pmin|Hong Kong}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}}, {{pmin|Japan}}, Laos, {{pmin|Hong Kong|Macau}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|the Maldives}}, Mongolia, Myanmar, {{pmin|South Asia|Nepal}}, North Korea, {{pmin|South Asia|Pakistan}}, Papua New Guinea, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, Samoa, {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|South Korea}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Sri Lanka}}, {{pmin|Thailand}}, {{pmin|Taiwan}}, and {{pmin|Vietnam}}. Some of these markets have access to full episodes of the {{aniseries}} via other official Pokémon YouTube channels.

====Episodes====
Currently, episodes from seasons [[S01|1]] through [[S05|5]] of {{aniseries|PTS}} are available, with five new episodes being released per week (on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday).

From ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' onwards, closed captions are available only in English and Latin American Spanish.

====More====
The channel also features live streams, compilations, and shorts.

==Website and app==
[[File:Pokémon TV.png|thumb|200px|Logo for the Pokémon TV app]]
===Available content===
Pokémon TV was available both in [[Pokémon.com|the official Pokémon website]] and as an app in a total of 13 languages: English ({{pmin|the United States|United States}} and {{pmin|the United Kingdom|United Kingdom}}), {{pmin|France|French}}, {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}}, {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}}, {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}}, {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}}, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian}}, {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}}, {{pmin|Russia}}n, and {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}}.

As the service was operated by The Pokémon Company International, it was region-locked so that was not available in Asian countries where [[The Pokémon Company]] retains distribution rights. In particular, it was not available in Japan, {{pmin|Hong Kong}}, {{pmin|Vietnam}}, {{pmin|Thailand}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Nepal}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Bangladesh}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}}, Brunei, Cambodia, North Korea, {{pmin|South Korea}}, Samoa, {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Mongolia, Myanmar, {{pmin|Hong Kong|Macau}}, Laos, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Pakistan}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Afghanistan}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Sri Lanka}}, Papua New Guinea, {{pmin|mainland China}}, and {{pmin|Taiwan}}.

====Episodes====
For the American English service, episodes from ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'' (seasons [[S01|1]] and [[S02|2]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' (seasons [[S20|20]], [[S21|21]], and [[S22|22]]), [[S23|Pokémon Journeys: The Series (season 23)]], and [[S24|Pokémon Master Journeys: The Series (season 24)]] (UK, German, French only, first 13 episodes only in America) were the last set available.

''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver]]'' (season [[S03|3]], [[S04|4]], and [[S05|5]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' (seasons [[S06|6]], [[S07|7]], [[S08|8]], and [[S09|9]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' (seasons [[S10|10]], [[S11|11]], [[S12|12]], and [[S13|13]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' (season [[S14|14]], [[S15|15]] and [[S16|16]]), and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' (seasons [[S17|17]], [[S18|18]], and [[S19|19]]) were previously available, but had previously been rotated out.

Since the February 2019 overhaul, episodes were added monthly by [[season]] and rotated out by [[series]], with the exception of the series that were always available being shown above. Prior to that point, the service made ten episodes available for each series, rotating every Friday to remove the earliest five episodes and add the next five.

The episodes below were excluded from rotations in the following languages:
* Danish: Seasons 3, 4, 5
* Finnish: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
* Norwegian: Seasons 3, 4, 5, 6
* Swedish: Seasons 3, 4, 5
* Russian: Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The other language services otherwise had identical availability to the American English service with the exception of the currently airing season.

====Movies====
One [[Pokémon movie]] was normally made available for one or two weeks per month in release order. ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' were not shown on the service due to their rights being owned by [[Miramax Films]] at the time. ''Pokémon 4Ever'' was previously shown on the service, but has since been skipped in rotations.

The movies below were excluded from rotations in the following languages:
* Dutch: Movie 4
* Danish: Movies 1, 8, 9
* Finnish: Movies 8, 9
* Norwegian: Movies 8, 9
* Russian: Movie 4

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
With the help of the [[Six Heroes]], [[Pagogo]] {{Tera}}stallizes into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and successfully purifies the [[Laquium]] on [[Laqua]], leaving [[Gibeon]] to mourn the goal he can no longer fulfill. [[Amethio]] steps forward and tells his grandfather what he has observed by his side before vowing he will fulfill his goal without resorting to the Laquium. Gibeon believes he does not have the right to think about the future since [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] left him, but [[Lucius]] points out Zygarde chose Gibeon as its partner because it understood Gibeon's goals before he lost his way. Lucius then tells Gibeon to entrust the future to the next generation, starting with Amethio. Looking at his grandson, Gibeon agrees with Lucius and the two begin to glow, with Lucius revealing it's time for them to go. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are devastated since they have only just met, but Lucius is content with it since he has done everything he needed to do and entrusts Pagogo to [[Liko]]. Gibeon tells Amethio to continue walking the path he believes in with {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} before the two reconciled friends join [[Rystal]] in the afterlife. Pagogo is happy to see Lucius one last time as the Six Heroes are {{pkmn2|released}} from their [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s now that Lucius is gone.

However, [[Spinel]] is upset by the situation and declares he will surpass Gibeon. Bringing out a gadget that Amethio recognizes as the [[Strong Sphere|Laquium Sphere]]s, Spinel tosses it towards the Six Heroes, ejecting Laquium mist that causes the Six Heroes to go berserk. Spinel also declares the [[Explorers]] shall take over Laqua as the Six Heroes begin attacking each other. The kids wants to do something but [[Friede]] points out they're currently lacking power to do anything. When Liko sees Pagogo being too exhausted to do anything, she pleads with the Six Heroes to stop fighting. Unfortunately, that just turns {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} and {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}'s attention on her, unleashing their attacks on the kids, who are saved by the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Rayquaza urges the Rising Volt Tacklers to leave just as [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] do the same with Amethio. Amethio escapes first on his {{p|Corviknight}} with his subordinates while the Rising Volt Tacklers leave Rayquaza to keep its former allies distracted.

Seeing the Pokémon leave the former paradise in disarray leaves the kids feeling devastated while Friede questions the Explorers' intent in taking over Laqua despite the Laquium being purified. Just then, the earth below them breaks apart, causing Liko to lose her balance and fall down. This results in Lucius's belt and notebook falling from her backpack into the chasm below, making Liko upset at losing something important. Friede consoles the kids by saying Lucius's adventure will last when they remember it before turning to the sky and wishing they could escape by flying, remembering his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} is still weak from [[HZ087|the Laquium exposure]]. {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} comes out from her {{i|Poké Ball}} to restore Charizard's health with a {{m|Heal Pulse}}. With [[Roy]] on {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Friede, Liko, and [[Dot]] on Charizard, the group flies out of Laqua while braving the winds that picked up along the way. Reaching the edge of the crater, the younger members are unsure how to escape as [[Mount Pericarp]] itself begins to shake, making the way down dangerous. Friede calms them down by mentioning the people they can depend on as the [[Brave Olivine]] comes into view. However, they can see the Olivine struggling to go beyond its maximum altitude limit. In the captain's deck, recognizing this to be an emergency, [[Orla]] presses the emergency button that transforms the airship into the "Brave Olivine: Infinite Rising", allowing the crew to rescue Friede and the others. Unfortunately, before they can make it inside, the wind becomes stronger, and Friede, Charizard, and [[Captain Pikachu]] are nearly blown overboard since they were unable to hold onto anything. With Charizard barely holding onto the airship, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Orla try to save the three. Friede takes Cap, who was hanging onto Friede's goggles, and entrusts him to look after everyone before safely handing him to Liko. Friede gives a wistful smile before he and Charizard lose their grips and fall into the clouds, leaving the onlookers horrified.

One year later, Liko is in her dormitory at [[Indigo Academy]], looking at her last adventure as [[Ann]] fetches her for class. Liko, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, and Hattrem leave the room, with a Poké Ball resting on Liko's desk. In [[Levincia]], Spinel is giving an interview on Laqua's restoration as the new director of [[Exceed]]. He also frames the Rising Volt Tacklers for Laqua's collapse the year prior and tells the interviewer everything will be safe in the hands of the Explorers, including the unknown phenomenon affecting Pokémon worldwide. Elsewhere, Roy, with a [[Mega Ring]] on his wrist, gets ready to set off, with his Pokémon team by his side, including a {{Shiny}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and Cap.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ089 Title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]
* The [[title card]] for this episode is shown over the background directly, and thus is not read aloud.
* There is no [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]] for this episode.
* This is the last episode of the ''Rayquaza Rising'' chapter.
* This is the season finale of [[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua]].
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Friede]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], and the second features [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}.
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes Store|iTunes]], [[Prime Video|Amazon]], and [[Google Play]] in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2025. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua]]''.
* As of this episode:
** All 18 types are represented by a Pokémon owned by the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] or living aboard the [[Brave Olivine]].
** {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} is no longer the only Pokémon owned by a young member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to not be from [[Generation IX]].
** {{Ash}} is no longer the only main character to have access to more than one battle technique, as [[Roy]] has access to both [[Mega Evolution]] and {{Tera}}stallization.
** [[Dot]] is the only younger member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to not have three Pokémon in her [[party]].
* Instead of a traditional next episode preview, this episode is followed by a preview of the ''Mega Voltage'' arc.
* This is the first instance where a clear timeskip between events in the animated series has been shown.

'''Beyond the Shining Rainbow''' (Japanese: '''光り出した虹の先で''' ''At the End of the Shining Rainbow'') is the 82nd episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,314th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on January 31, 2025.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Resuming from the [[HZ081|previous episode]], the [[Black Rayquaza]] descends upon the stunned group now that the five of the [[Six Heroes]] are gathered. However, since [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] used their [[Tera Orb]]s in their {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]], they are unable to use it again. Nonetheless, the younger members are motivated to battle Rayquaza again, with [[Friede]] joining them in the battle and [[Briar]] looking after [[Pagogo]].

Friede distracts Rayquaza by flying around on {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} while the kids position themselves on the terrain accordingly. Charizard leads Rayquaza to a cliff where Roy and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} were waiting with {{m|Flamethrower}} that it easily dodges. Higher up, Liko calls out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, who uses {{m|Confusion}} to manoeuvre some rocks such that {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} would be able to reach Rayquaza with {{m|Acrobatics}}, but the Sky High Pokémon also avoids Floragato. Flying even further up, Rayquaza ends up getting attacked by {{m|Liquidation}} and {{m|Slam}} from {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}}, respectively. Friede encourages the kids to keep on attacking before getting Charizard to use a series of {{m|Air Slash}}, with Floragato following up with Acrobatics and Crocalor finishing off with Flamethrower. Rayquaza remains unfazed by their strategy as it flies towards the sky to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Everyone scrambles to evade the meteors while Friede fails to lure Rayquaza again. Dot calls everyone and suggests they use the same strategy they used on Gouging Fire, using the waterfall nearby to soak Rayquaza instead of luring it like they did with the [[Paradox Pokémon]].

With {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} bringing them closer to Rayquaza, Crocalor and Charizard successfully push Rayquaza towards the waterfall just as Floragato and Quaxwell destroy the rocks to soak Rayquaza. [[Captain Pikachu]] rushes to Rayquaza and electrocutes it with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, causing it to retaliate with {{m|Dragon Tail}}. This results in not only Charizard being severely injured, but also in Cap being thrown off. Roy goes to save Cap with Kilowattrel while Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} knocks out Quaxwell and Tinkatuff. The Sky High Pokémon unleashes Draco Meteor again, with Hattrem using {{m|Brutal Swing}} to destroy some meteors before holding them in place with Confusion. Liko has Floragato use {{m|Magical Leaf}} as a smokescreen for Kilowattrel to approach Rayquaza with {{m|Spark}}, though this was a ruse for Crocalor to land on top of Rayquaza's head and use {{m|Disarming Voice}} to deal super effective damage before getting thrown off. Once again, Rayquaza uses Draco Meteor, only this time, it successfully aimed the meteors at Hattrem, Floragato, and Kilowattrel with Dragon Tail, knocking them out from the battle. Pagogo was almost hit by another aimed meteor before being saved by Cap, who uses Rising Volt Tackle and sends Rayquaza towards the sky. However, this gives the opportunity for Rayquaza to use {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to get Cap out of the battle. With most of the Pokémon unable to battle, the only one left standing is Crocalor. Roy and Crocalor try their best to continue battling as Liko also wants to continue battling Rayquaza. As if sensing Liko's thoughts, Pagogo joins the battle by transforming into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}.

Pagogo begins its first battle by Liko's side by using {{m|Ancient Power}} and Crocalor supports it with Disarming Voice, with both attacks doing supereffective damage on Rayquaza. Rayquaza then counters with Dragon Pulse, at which Pagogo uses {{m|Protect}} to shield both itself and Crocalor, however a few Draco Meteors that Crocalor and Pagogo were unable to defend against completely still manages to hit both of them. With both sides getting exhausted, Rayquaza attempts to use Dragon Ascent to finish them off while Pagogo uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} to counter. Both Pokémon were able to greatly damage each other, with Rayquaza being sent flying and stuck in a gorge and Pagogo using the last of its strength to allow Crocalor to {{Tera}}stallize, amazing everyone before transforming back into its Normal Form. With Rayquaza temporarily weakened and immobilised, Roy has Crocalor finish the battle with a boosted {{m|Flame Charge}} before finally capturing Rayquaza in the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}.

Roy is overjoyed at having caught Rayquaza, who comes out of its Poké Ball to return the last of Pagogo's power and allowing it to be at full strength again. The group is brought into another vision where [[Lucius]], [[Rystal]], and [[Gibeon]] were able to reach [[Laqua]], and Liko realizes Rayquaza wanted to be with its fellow Six Heroes and Pagogo to fulfill Lucius's promise. Roy tries to get Rayquaza into its Poké Ball but Friede reminds him it still belongs to Lucius, which leads to Roy declaring he would get Rayquaza's approval someday. At that moment, with Pagogo on its head, Rayquaza heads off somewhere. Knowing exactly where it is going, the group bids farewell to Briar, who thanks them for showing her many interesting things that would help her finish her book, and chase after Rayquaza, with [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] also leaving to report their observations. Flying alongside Rayquaza in the [[Brave Olivine]], the younger members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] belatedly update their respective families on the adventure they've had on the way to Laqua.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar]]: ''What is this form of {{p|Terapagos}} called?''
** Choices: Terastal, Tera Type, Crystal
** Answer: Terastal
* 
* For the initial airing of this episode, Professor Friede's Pokémon Seminar was replaced by a trailer for upcoming episodes of the ''Rayquaza Rising'' chapter, which was later [https://youtu.be/9hEgtJ1BCiA uploaded] to the official Japanese [[YouTube]] channel.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Roy]] and his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, and the second features [[Liko]] and [[Pagogo]].
* The English dub was released on [[iTunes Store|iTunes]], [[Prime Video|Amazon]], and [[Google Play]] in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2025. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua]]''.
* The way Roy threw the {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} to capture the [[Black Rayquaza]] resembles how the player character would throw a [[Poké Ball]] to capture the Pokémon at the end of a [[Tera Raid Battle]].
* [[Halo]] is used as an insert song towards the end of the episode, when the [[Brave Olivine]] is flying alongside the Black Rayquaza towards [[Laqua]].
** This scene references a frame from the [[Halo|above song]]'s opening animation featuring the Black Rayquaza flying past the [[Brave Olivine]].
* [[Onia]], [[Zirc]], and [[Amethio]] narrate the preview for the [[HZ083|next episode]].
* While the official Japanese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel releases every episode after its television airing for viewing on YouTube for a limited time in Japan, this episode was not geo-locked to Japan after its release.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20250131103908/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBn3kF43axE 【公式】アニメ「ポケットモンスター」第82話「光り出した虹の先で」（見逃し配信）] - ポケモン公式YouTubeチャンネル</ref>

===Errors===
