Stand Tall is the opening theme song for the English dub of the nineteenth season, Pokémon the Series: XYZ. It was used from From A to Z! to The Legend of X, Y, and Z!. The opening animation is composed of clips from the third XY series Japanese opening, XY&Z. A full-length version is used as the opening song of Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, with guitars by Stan Cotey and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman.

I stand tall 'cause I know I'm a winner
Knock me down, I'll just get up again
