The Greatest - Everyday! (Japanese: サイコー・エブリデイ！Saikō - Everyday!) is the third and the final Japanese opening theme of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl. It debuted in DP158, replacing High Touch! 2009. A remixed version of the song, The Greatest - Everyday! (Band Version), debuted in DP183 and was last used in DP191, which was the final episode of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl.
The mysterious creatures of this planet Pocket Monsters... "Pokémon" for short! Now, the story of Satoshi and Hikari, and Pokémon, Their meetings, adventures, and battles Are about to begin!
The scene changes to Brock turning to look at the sky, where Latios, Latias, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres fly over him, Ash, Dawn, and their Pokémon, except Togekiss. Team Rocket are then shown on their Magikarp submarine in the ocean when a Kyogre emerges from the water beneath them, as well as a Lugia. Groudon bursts from a nearby island and uses Solar Beam as Lugia uses Aeroblast and Kyogre uses Ice Beam. The three attacks collide, creating an explosion with smoke.
The smoke clears to show Team Rocket floating in outer space. Mew and Mewtwo appear and fly past the trio, with Rayquaza and Deoxys close behind. The scene transitions to Ash and company at a field of flowers and a nearby pond with Manaphy in it, and Celebi and Jirachi floating around it. At the same time, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf can be seen floating around Ash and his friends as they sing with the lyrics of the song. A Shaymin appears, and transforms into its Sky Forme as a closeup of the flowers reveals them to be Gracideas.
Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are seen emerging from the clouds to join Arceus. A closeup of each of Ash's current Pokémon appears, and then cuts to Paul facing off against Ash. The camera backs out to reveal a large battlefield with miscellaneous Pokémon silhouetted in the background. Ash and a variety of his Pokémon are ready for battle against his rivals Nando, Conway, Paul, and Barry, while Dawn and Brock look on.

This is one of a few songs to be released on a CD prior to its debut as an animated series opening theme. However, it is in instrumental format only on the CD.
Lucario is the only wild Pokémon featured in this opening that isn't a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon.
Not counting A New Oath, this is the only Japanese opening where an artist other than Rica Matsumoto returns to perform another opening.
This is the only Japanese Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl opening not to show any of Jessie's or James's Pokémon. However, at the same time, this is the first time that Jessie's alias "Jessilina" appeared in an opening.
Despite being obtained in DP171 and appearing earlier in the opening, Dawn's Togekiss was never featured in the group shot. Additionally, the opening was not edited to show the Evolution of Ash's Cyndaquil.
In the end of the lyrics, there is the title of the first Japanese opening theme, Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.
This is the first Japanese opening since Pokémon Symphonic Medley to not have any changes in animation. This is also the only Japanese Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl opening to not have any.
This is also the first opening since Pokémon Symphonic Medley to not feature the appearances of Delia, Professor Oak, and Tracey.
The Greatest - Everyday! is the only Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl opening whose remix does not contain the year that the remix was released in the title. This was probably due to the fact that the remix was released the same year as the original version.
The Band Version of this song was used for only nine episodes, the least for any opening theme.
In the original version, when Ash and his friends are in the field with the lake guardians, they are singing along with the lyrics. In the remix, due to slightly different timing, their lip sync is slightly off. This was corrected in DP186.
