Preview SM080: Sand's Storm! Ice Cave Double Battle!!

[Rath]

However, it's looking like Lillie will be an Ice-type specialist. If the Fairy trial does appear, then Ash is likely to take it and get himself Fairium. He also needs a Fairy-type to use Fairium with.

Lillie is a Fairy type specialist.

Best case scenario is that Ash catches the Sandshrew and we get a double battle with Ash/Sandshrew and Lillie/Snowy like the title implies.

The episode's summary says that Lillie bonds with A.Sandshrew.

That's the game Lillie. Who's to say the anime Lillie won't be an Ice specialist?

Well so far, the anime has never changed a character's type specialty.

Is Lillie a Fairy specialist? She had one fairy type Pokemon in the games- Ice specialism is as likely as Fairy.

She appears to be getting a second Ice-type in this episode. She is having her specialty type switched from Fairy to Ice.

She's a Fairy specialist in the games, but the anime seems to be taking a different route.

 

[RileyXY1]

I'm questioning what Ash's sixth capture is, if he's even getting one.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

So they take a two week break? And why are they returning to MeleMele?

Besides Lillie getting Aloloan Sandrew fits her more then Ash tbh. I think his SM team is good for now.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

Well, if Lillie does end up getting Sandshrew and unless the writers throw another Pokemon around the corner for Ash I think that'll be it for his team.

Our rocko doggo will be the Greninja of the bunch (just hopefully without being released and forced to be the region's weed whacker ), Torracat I can not see evolving into Incineroar any time soon, Poipole will probably evolve into that dragon looking thingy

Spoiler

and obviously be released, Ash can't be the God of the anime

and Rowlett will just be Rowlett.

I've been secretly afraid of Lillie being the one to catch Sandshrew instead of Ash, and now my fears have just been worsened.

@FinnishPokéFan92
And there is nothing else. You can do about it. Except, embrace the reality. Theory of Lillie catching Alolan Sandshrew is about to be fulfilled. While you and the others don't agreed in several months ago. But as say before, only 50/50 chance may or may not occurred.

We shall see that day, when the episode aired. Also, speaking of ice cave. Does Ice Rock going to appeared as well?

Lilie is a specialist of nothing. She has no goal about her pokemon other than petting them. It would be pointless to give her new pokemon. I'll go with this being a classic PotD episode.

 

[Alola]

I just wanted to point out that a Trainer in the anime who captures or receives multiple Pokemon of the same type doesn't automatically equate to them being a specialist for that type. Will Lillie capture an Alolan Sandshrew? Who knows. But if she does, I would not say it means she specializes in that type unless it's explicitly said otherwise (for example, like with Lana & Kiawe).

 

[IncineROAR]

There already is a fairy specialist in the game, I can't remember her name but she's that weird odd woman on Poni Island. I'm willing to bet Ash will encounter her in some manner when he does the trials on Poni Island.

@martianmister
I wondering does Alolan Sandslash is going to appear in this episode or not?Because, the title stating that about sand storm could be the battle of both evolve and pre-evolve inside the ice cave for dominate. Where Ice Rock is being guarded by the bully for do long and now is time for the one to be dethrone.

Do you mean Mina (aka Matsurika)?
Ash could do the Dragon Trial instead of the Fairy, but I'm sure she'll show up sooner or later regardless.

Didn't Kukui do the dragon challenge already? And yeah I meant Mina. I forgot her name, cuz to be honest, she is forgettable.

…No, no one has yet, the closest anyone's come to doing the Vast Poni Canyon Trial is Gladion taking down the Totem Kommo-o with Silvally, but he wasn't actually doing the Trial it's just he and Lillie were passing through and…it got in the way, while the closest we've seen to a Dragonium Z is a replica shown off by Professor Kukui.

Glad to see Alolan Sandshrew finally getting its debut, but is it going to Lillie? I think we have seen Alolan Sandshrew in some anime promotional merchandise before?

That's true. That's where all the speculation regarding it has come before.
