*Despite Charjabug and Marowak being around since the middle and end of the first season as well as being present in the second season, this is the first time they're included in the intro.
**The same goes for Lycanroc and Torracat (Who would've been a Litten), neither were present in the season 2 intro despite Lycanroc having major focus. Thus making Rowlet and Pikachu the only ones in the main team to be in all 3 intros.

Lyrics

Rise if you're prepared for the challenge
(Rise to the challenge)
Rise if you're a champion at heart
(Rise to the challenge)

Take my hand, we'll train as one
And triumph together
(Rise to the challenge)
Nothing's gonna stand in our way

Stronger and stronger we'll
Rise to the challenge of
Life
Pokémon!
