Preview SM025: Fighting for a Crystal! Rocket-dan VS Skull-dan!!

[SammyW27]

I'll save my reaction for confirmation...

though what a reaction it'll be.

Third Team Rocket episodes in 25 episodes? In very much for it

This looks like it's going to be a fun episode where Team Rocket and Team Skull meet each other for the first time.

 

[Playerking]

Here is a new-ish summary, which is mostly a reworded version of the original summary of the episode, which Dephender translated.

One day, Team Rocket, who are after Ash's Pikachu, sneak a peek at a class at the Pokémon School, and get astounded by the Z-Moves. They immediately decide they should master Z-Moves and start searching for Z-Crystals. But then Team Skull, a group that causes trouble in the Alola region, show up.

Lol, can't wait to see the looks on TR and Team Skull's faces when they realize that even with a Z-Crystal (wonder how/where they'll even try to get one), they can't do anything without a Z-Ring.

I'm glad that we'll be seeing Team Skull again. The gaps in between their appearances are too large. I assume it'll be the same recurring 3 grunts that we've seen before in this episode. Though I wound't mind seeing some new ones.

 

[Lufenium]

I'm interested in this episode now.

Those idiots... Don't they know that they can't use Z-Moves without breaking their Z-Crystals unless they clear a Grand Trial?

 

[SonansuMan]

Since this episode is pretty much confirmed, I'd like to say this series has probably treated TR better than any other series. Within a span of 25 episodes, they caught a blood seeking Mimikyu, which was capable of knocking out almost anything its wanted so far (if not for plot armour), resided with a kind Bewear that supplied them with food, caught a second Pokemon in less then 10 episodes, which has also proven to be powerful, established a base, and later finished it.

That's decent development.

I hope the Bewear they befriended becomes their fifth member (after Wobbuffet and Meowth)

 

[BigDocFan]

Have to say that Team Rocket are remarkably more absent in Sun and Moon, if I'm honest it is probably a good thing

 

[SinnohEevee]

Even a 5-years old can beat the Team Skull Grunts.

[SonansuMan]

This must be a good episode if there's a picture for it but not the upcoming episodes before it.

 

[SammyW27]

I just hope this leads an epic pose-off...

TS Grunt: Oh yeah? Try DIS move, Kanto bishes!

Jessie: Oh, we could do this all day, Alolans!

 

[ShadowZone1996]

I really hope Bewear comes through in a pinch, but not to rescue them, to fight for them against Team Skull.

 

[LunarHero]

By the way, that picture is not the episode, it's actually from that Dugtrio episode.

 

[ii kanji]

Oh YEAH!!

What must I have been doing when I originally saw that picture not to notice Nyasu's outfit complete with headphones?!

 

[Flynn]

Well, the picture was below the summary for this episode, so I just assumed...

Don't worry, you weren't the only one who assumed that.

Here is a new summary of the episode, which Dephender translated.

Spoiler

One day, Team Rocket, who were trying to steal Pikachu as usual, sneaked a peek at a class at the Pokémon School. They're shocked by the "Z-Moves" and decide to search for the "Z-Crystals" needed to learn such moves. But then Team Skull, a group that commits thuggish acts throughout the Alola region, shows up and challenges Team Rocket to a battle over a "Z-Crystal".
