Blurb

The Alola region continues to be full of surprises for our intrepid heroes! Almost simultaneously, Lillie’s Pokémon Egg hatches into an Ice-type Alolan Vulpix, and Principal Oak’s Egg hatches into a Fire-type Vulpix from Kanto. Lillie would like to be a Trainer to her new friend, but she’ll have to overcome her fear of touching Pokémon first—and the two might not have much time to get acquainted, with Team Rocket lurking nearby!

Trivia

  • Answer: Shiron
• Rotom Pokédex, Professor Kukui, and Ash narrate the preview for the next episode.
• This marks the longest time between an Egg's debut and hatching in the anime, as it took Samson Oak's Vulpix Egg 14 episodes to hatch.
• Close to the end of the episode, Team Rocket is shown to have started expanding Bewear's den for their base.
• The English dub title is a reference to the song Getting to Know You.

Errors

• When Snowy goes to its Poké Ball, Rowlet was seen asleep on the ground to the left of Turtonator. When Lillie goes to pick up Snowy's Poké Ball after it catches itself, Rowlet is seen poking from behind Turtonator's right.
