Anime spoilers up to the most recent episode below
Hi guys. In this thread I'll post my predictions about upcoming SM episode titles and plots in general. Ironically the first post will not be about new predictions, those will be posted sometime next week (and will include league stuff!) as I'm waiting for tomorrow's episode's info about Mohn. Let's begin!
Parhentesis are my original notes when I wrote the predictions.
ERE = Equivalent real episode
That's all for now, I hope you liked it. If you spot any other similarity between my titles and the real episodes, let me know!

Ironically the first post will not be about new predictions, those will be posted sometime next week (and will include league stuff!) as I'm waiting for tomorrow's episode's info about Mohn. Let's begin!
Parhentesis are my original notes when I wrote the predictions.
ERE = Equivalent real episode
-SM062: A mischievous Ultra Guardian! Poipole enters!
ERE: SM068 Shining Love! Spinning Poipole !!
Poipole joined the Ultra Guardians on his own episode, but it did so 6 episodes later.
-SM063: Flex your muscles! Bewear vs Buzzwhole!
ERE: SM061 Set Off! Our Ultra Guardians!! (which was already announced when I did the entry).
Bewear vs Buzzwhole happened on the UG debut, which is something I should had seen coming.
-SM064: Sophocles' wish! Minior of the 7 nights!
ERE: SM079 Minior and Poipole, the Promise that Disappeared into the Starry Sky!
This idea as almost spot-on, as while Poipole bonded with Minior, Sophocles' bond with one was pivotal to the episode.
-SM065: Guzzlord's menu!
ERE: SM100 The Lighting Bolt that Severs the Wind! Its Name is Zeraora!!
Guzzlord debuted 35 episodes later, in a surprisingly serious episode.
-SM066: Kiawe is a clown? It's Blacephalon!
ERE: SM078 Ultra Beast Clash! The Great Crackling Rumble Operation!!
Blacephalon debuted 12 episodes later, Kiawe wasn't the focus of its appearance.
-SM067: The tale of princess Celesteela! (This could also feature Malie City, Kartana and Litten's evolution. It could even be a two-parter)
ERE: The Shining Starship Celesteela
Celesteela debuted 2 episodes later, and Kartana hasn't even appeared.
Litten evolved 4 episodes earlier.
I was right that it would involve references to the Japanese folk tale.
-SM068: Poipole gets sick? Burnett's mision! (filler)
ERE: None, or SM084 The Shape of Family, Poipole's Feelings!
Poipole and Burnett didn't bond, but Poipole did bond with a woman from the games 16 episodes later which explained that something was off with it...so it kinda counts.
-SM069: Enter Nanu, Acerola and the shy Mimikyu!
ERE: SM074 The Big Old Thug is an Island King!?
Nanu, Acerola and Mimikyu debuted 4 episodes later and met Ash 5 episodes later.
-SM070: Lillie's trial! Vs Xurkitree! (So, Acerola bonds with Lillie and convinces her to prove herself, she ends up battling Xurkitree in the Holukani observatory)
ERE: SM078 Ultra Beast Clash! The Great Crackling Rumble Operation!! or None/SM080 Sandshrew's Storm! Ice Cave Double Battle!!
Lillie kinda got her own Ulaula trial 10 episodes later. Xurkitree debuted 8 episodes later.
-SM071: Get the Ghostium Z! Pikachu vs Mimikyu!
ERE: SM076: Super Decisive Battle! Pikachu VS Mimikkyu!!
Pikachu battled Mimikyu as Ash's trial 5 episodes later, but there wasn't any reward.
-SM072: A new Grand Trial! The spirit of Ulaula! (Dub title: Trials and judgements)
ERE: SM 077 Nanu's Grand Trial! Lycanroc Awakens!!
The grand trial happened 5 episodes later, the dub title was wrong.
-SM073: Team Skull's home! Save Stakataka! (Poor UB Assembly, it's filled with graffities from Team Skull...)
ERE: SM085 Leap and Climb, Stakataka!
Po Town appeared 42 episodes later and the group hasn't visited it. They haven't been involved with any UBs. Stakataka debuted 13 episodes later.
-SM074: Ultra Guardians forever! Naganadel vs Guzma!
ERE: SM115 Emperor of Destruction Guzma!
Guzma appeared 41 episodes later, and didn't battle Naganadel. But it did battled Ash....
Poipole didn't evolve.
-SM075: A new threat! Necrozma and Nebby!
-SM076: All Ultra Beasts together! Do it for Nebby!
-SM077: A new light begins to shine! The Ultra Space closes!
ERE: SM087 A Crisis in Alola! The Darkness that Devours Radiance!! , SM088 Lunala VS UB:BLACK! A Full Moon Battle!! , SM089 The Prism of Light and Darkness - Its Name is Necrozma!! and SM090 Connect to the Future! The Legend of the Blinding One!!
-As the poster suggested there was a Necrozma story coming, but it happened 12 episodes later than what I suggested. It involved Nebby being kidnapped and that was the main reason our heroes chased Necrozma, but the other UBs weren't involved. The Ultra Space didn't close as not all UBs were caught at that moment.
ERE: SM068 Shining Love! Spinning Poipole !!
Poipole joined the Ultra Guardians on his own episode, but it did so 6 episodes later.

-SM082: Team Skull's Ultra Beast! It's Stakataka! (Semi-recycled idea from my last blog, TS adopts Stakataka and fills it with graffities)
ERE: SM085 Leap and Climb, Stakataka!
Team Skull haven't been involved with any UBs, but they came back 4 episodes later on SM086. Stakataka debuted 3 episodes later.
-SM083: Music battle! Kommo-o vs Dugtrio! (DJ Leo comes back and Ryuki appears, both participate in a contest)
ERE: None
None of both characters have appeared recently, but Ryuki could appear soon. I'll update this if that happens.
-SM084: Graveler and Golem, Pirates of Alola!
ERE: SM095 Wela Volcano, Graveler, Golem, and the Mountaineers!
This ugly Alola forms got their own filler 11 episodes later. They weren't pirates, but they were involved with a profession so...yay?
-SM085: Bewear's mission, Team Rocket's reunion!
ERE: None
Bewear got her own plot on SM096 11 episodes later, and coincidentally it followed the Golem episode. But the plots are too different for it to count.
-SM086: A Kahuna's coronation! The Ruins of Hope! (Poni Arc begins, Ash and Kukui watch Hapu's coronation by Tapu Fini)
ERE: SM104 Poni Island Research Project! Search for the Kahuna!! and SM109 The Birth of a Kahuna! Ash's Grand Trial!!
Hapu's coronation was seen and happened in the Ruins of Hope, but it happened right before Ash battled her.
The Poni Arc began 18 episodes later.
-SM087: Mina's Trial! Get all the Petals! (Akala was the island of Ash and his friends and Ulaula was the island of Ash and Team Rocket, so maybe Poni could be the island of Ash and Gladion. Both have to go on a scavenger hunt around the island looking for the petals, but...)
ERE: SM084 The Shape of Family, Poipole's Feelings!
Nope, Mina hasn't returned and her trial wasn't shown. She did appear 3 episodes earlier, so I'm going to count that.
-SM088: Gladion's pride! Silvally vs Pheromosa! (...a Pheromosa appears, and Ash and Gladion have a debate about if it's good harming UBs or not. Fridge Brilliance because of Pheromosa representing Gladion's mommy issues)
ERE: SM114 Beauty and Meowth! and SM105 Decisive Lycanroc Battle! Ash VS Gladion!!
Pheromosa appeared 26 episodes later, but Gladion didn't battle her. And no UBs appeared during the Poni Arc. However
-SM089: Nebby, are you OK? (Ash visits the Altar of the Sun, but founds Necrogaleo...)
-SM090: Alola's new threat! Team Rocket's Blinding One Operation! (part 1)
-SM091: Alola's new threat! Team Rocket's Blinding One Operation! (part 2)
ERE: SM087 A Crisis in Alola! The Darkness that Devours Radiance!! , SM088 Lunala VS UB:BLACK! A Full Moon Battle!! , SM089 The Prism of Light and Darkness - Its Name is Necrozma!! and SM090 Connect to the Future! The Legend of the Blinding One!!
This arc began 2 episodes earlier, and involved Team Rocket as was expected from that scene with Nanu and Giovanni. It didn't interrupt the Poni Arc.
-SM092: A new Grand Trial! Ash vs Hapu!
ERE: SM109 The Birth of a Kahuna! Ash's Grand Trial!!
Ash battled Hapu 17 episodes later.
-SM093: The promise between Ash and Gladion! (reused title from SM020, but it sounds cool. Arc finale.)
ERE: SM105 Decisive Lycanroc Battle! Ash VS Gladion!!
Gladion did appeared and battled Ash, playing a role during the arc. Their battle happened 12 episodes later.
-SM094: The world inside a bubble! The water tribe and Primarina!
ERE: SM106 We Have a Sea and We Have a Valley! Great Intensive Pokémon Evolution Training!!
The water tribe did came back 12 episodes later, during the Poni Arc rather than later. They showed Primarina then.
-SM095: Let's Go, Ilima! Pikachu vs Eevee! (shameless game promotion...I mean, league training)
ERE: SM099 Eevee, Where Are You Going? To Go Anywhere to Meet Up!
In order to promote the games, the writers decided to introduce another Eevee rather than increasing Ilima's role. The new Eevee appeared 4 episodes later.
ERE: SM085 Leap and Climb, Stakataka!
Team Skull haven't been involved with any UBs, but they came back 4 episodes later on SM086. Stakataka debuted 3 episodes later.

ERE: SM099 Eevee, Where Are You Going? To Go Anywhere to Meet Up!
Lana caught Eevee instead of Ash, 7 episodes later.
-SM093: Special training! Eevee´s secret moves! (Sophocles, Lana and Mallow teach Eevee its LGPE moves.)
ERE: None
Lana's Eevee, battling? (laughs).
-SM094: Fishing with Mantine Surf! (Lana's father debuts)
ERE: SM102 Alola at Alola! Brock and Misty!
Mantine Surf appeared twice recently, one in the second episode of the Eevee series (which aired with the real SM094!) and another one 8 episodes later. Lana's father appeared 5 episodes later.

-SM100: Po Town! Let's save Nut!
ERE: None
Meltan hasn't been caught by any villain outside Team Rocket. Po Town however appeared 15 episodes later.
-SM101: Megaevolution and Z-moves! Big brawl in Po Town! (Misty and Brock come to help!)
ERE: SM102 Alola at Alola! Brock and Misty!
As said above, no Team Skull doing something evil 2-parter thus far.
Misty and Brock appeared one episode later to the least serious stuff possible.
However, something interesting is that my title made a reference to SM043, and the real title made a reference to SM042.
ERE: SM099 Eevee, Where Are You Going? To Go Anywhere to Meet Up!
Lana caught Eevee instead of Ash, 7 episodes later.

ERE: None
Kartana hasn't appeared. Golisopod appeared 9 episodes later though.
-SM107: Across the sea! Next destination, Poni Island! (I've changed my opinion about Poni. Instead of being about Ash & Gladion, I think it will be about Ash & Lana, because of Eevee. In this episode, the water tribe will take Ash & Lana to Poni and Lana will learn more about them).
ERE: SM104 Poni Island Research Project! Search for the Island King!! and SM106 We Have a Sea and We Have a Valley! Great Intensive Pokémon Evolution Training!!
Sophocles, Kiawe, Lillie and Mallow went there too and they went there in a normal boat.
However, the water tribe reappeared 1 episode earlier and the arc began 3 episodes earlier.

ERE: SM104 Poni Island Research Project! Search for the Kahuna!! and SM109 The Birth of a Kahuna! Ash's Grand Trial!!

ERE: SM106 We Have a Sea and We Have a Valley! Great Intensive Pokémon Evolution Training!!
Popplio evolved by wanting to, no trials were involved, 4 episodes earlier.

ERE: SM109 The Birth of a Kahuna! Ash's Grand Trial!!
The trial happened 2 episodes earlier.
-SM112: Fossil research! Omanyte's secret!
ERE: None.
A Water-type Kanto Pokemon got its own filler 1 episode later though.
-SM113: The Beauty and the Ultra Beast! Lusamine and Pheromosa!
ERE: SM114 Beauty and Meowth!
Pheromosa appeared 1 episode later, but Lusamine wasn't the protagonist. However, she was paired with someone, Meowth.
Both titles made references to Beauty and the Beast!
-SM114: The Clockworker and Magearna! (All legendaries + Marshadow and Zeraora have been covered, so it wouldn't hurt them to complete the group)
ERE: Lillie and the Secret Mechanical Princess!
YES! Two episodes later Magearna appeared!
-SM115: Dewgong in the mist!
ERE: None.
A Water-type Kanto Pokemon got its own filler 2 episodes earlier though.
-SM116: Shocking discovery! Sophocles and Meltan!
-SM117: Battle Royale! The prize is Meltan? (Maybe we could see a small arc of Meltan appearing in random places)

The next TR episode was about Meowth.
