Set to air August 5, 2022, no further information available at present

Hm, so after the first rounds are done they're taking a break. I kind of figured there might be some breather eps before the semi-finals, and this would allow the Leon match to also air closer to the end of the series.

 

[BigDocFan]

Does feel strange as I thought we'd be having non stop WCS battles, wonder if Ash and Goh will be absent as they should be in Wyndon

 

[nickdt]

G-Max Eevee incoming?

 

[BigDocFan]

G-Max Eevee incoming?

That would be interesting as it would confirm why Eevee can't evolve

 

[P_S_B]

Sounds like it might be the final Koharu-focused episode.

 

[nickdt]

Based on this episode though, i can smell a: Grookey gets lost at the league episode coming as well.

I think if Koharu's Eevee is going to evolve into a new eeveelution, this will be the episode where it does.

That would certainly be an interesting possibility, if that is the case would love to see Chloe remain in the next series

I think if Koharu's Eevee is going to evolve into a new eeveelution, this will be the episode where it does.

The thing then is though, that confirms we are getting another SV trailer featuring the new Eeveelution before this episode airs, just like how they did that with Dusk Lycanroc revealing it in a trailer before the actual episode happened.

Wonder if this is the Dawn/Koharu scene from the op?

I wasn't into the games back then, how much time before the episode was Dusk Lycanroc revealed?

I believe it was a week or 2 weeks before the episode aired.

 

[Funnylion]

In that case it's possible that the speculated trailer this week could reveal a new eeveelution

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

I suppose a quick break from the battles can be welcomed… provided we don’t cut them to see what Eevee is up to.

 

[isrrael120]

The M8 Tournament doesn't feel really interesting anyway although it seems strange to me to have these breaks now in the Climax of the series!
but I appreciate having more stuff for Chloe and Eevee though it might be the last one seen!

 

[KrspaceT]

At worst this would replace Leon versus (other Champion Fodder), which wouldn't be good but it could be worse

 

[Emmy]

With a title like that, I really hope we see something new and interesting like a brand new Eevee-lution, and not something like G-Max Eevee.

Ash-free episode (or at least mostly Ash-free)?

Because him leaving the Master's 8 tourney to check on Chloe doesn't feel right...
(even though they could do just that if they want to )

Though yeah, there better be something good here. There's a could chance this will be Chloe's last focus episode (though there COULD be just one more, though I'm not sure how the pacing will work out for that), and if it's a semi-filler of Chloe and Eevee being cute and Chloe going "I'm gong to do THIS with my life!" after an awkward last minute epiphany....
