Since its premiere earlier this year, the series has captivated fans with its new dual-protagonist narrative, steering away from the traditional Ash Ketchum storyline. Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly—the beloved starter trio from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet—return, alongside the awe-inspiring Shiny Rayquaza, adding depth and excitement to the unfolding saga.
The anime’s latest arc takes inspiration from Kitakami, a region introduced in The Teal Mask DLC, blending game lore with animated storytelling. Alongside Liko and Roy, viewers follow the dynamic duo of Professor Friede and Captain Pikachu, whose battles and discoveries further enrich the journey.
Behind the scenes, director Saori Den and creative director Daiki Tomiyasu helm the project, with Dai Satō overseeing scripts—known for his work on classics like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. The animation team brings vibrant character designs by Rei Yamazaki and Kyōko Itō, ensuring the series stays visually stunning.
With its evolving arcs and engaging characters, Pokémon Horizons continues to redefine the franchise for a new generation of fans.
