I really liked seeing Terapagos transform to save Liko and it makes me wonder how much power that little turtle is actually hiding
kaepora_gaebora_269
My heart sank when Diana decided to leave the ship and I hope she stays safe while she hunts down the Explorers on her own
diablo_demon_155
Amethio thinking he could actually take on the black Rayquaza was a choice and Ceruledge getting swatted like a fly was the reality check he needed
emilia_elf_144
Terapagos finally transforming was the highlight for me because I did not expect it to go that hard just to block a Draco Meteor. It sucks that it got so drained afterward though. Also I am really interested in why Rayquaza acted so cold compared to Arboliva or Moltres since it seems like they are not on the same page.

It was cool to see Sprigatito actually land a hit on that massive Arcanine during the training match and you can really see the growth
jotaro_kujo_195
I still cant believe Rayquaza was so aggressive toward Terapagos and it felt way different than the other hero pokemon encounters
calamity_ganon_297
That first Terastal Starstorm from Terapagos looked incredible and the way it jumped in to save everyone from Draco Meteor was such a huge moment
marnie
Rayquaza did not come to play today and the way it ignored everyone to just flex its power was terrifying
luck_lightning
Rayquaza basically ignored Amethio like he was nothing and that Draco Meteor shower was terrifying to look at
dankan_dancer_475
The sheer scale of that Draco Meteor and the way it lit up the sky before Terapagos stepped in was easily the best part of the episode
shun
Seeing Amethio get absolutely wrecked by that Rayquaza was brutal and his face when he asked Hamber for more training says everything
sawyer
Rayquaza just staring down Terapagos felt so tense, and it definitely makes me wonder if those two have some beef from the past.
cynthia
That Terapagos transformation came out of nowhere and saved Liko from a direct hit so I really want to know what the connection to Lucius is now
billen
I cannot believe Terapagos finally transformed and that Tera Starstorm looked so cool while protecting Liko from the Draco Meteor
professor_sycamore_332
My heart really sank for Roy when he realized he wasn't even on Rayquaza's radar, especially after he spent so much time chasing that dream
gorman_brothers
Roy trying to challenge a literal god of the sky and getting treated like he did not even exist was brutal but his face afterward showed he is not giving up anytime soon
misha_necron
Roy looking so sad because Rayquaza did not even acknowledge him as a real rival before flying away made that whole scene feel super heavy
igos_du_ikana
The training match with Arcanine was a nice touch, and it shows that these kids still have a long way to go before they can actually handle the six heroes
geeta_360
I felt so bad for Roy in this one because he finally gets his chance to see the Black Rayquaza and it basically treats him like he does not even exist and that had to hurt after everything he did to get here but at least Terapagos went into that Terastal Form and used Tera Starstorm to keep everyone safe
cattleya_baudelaire
The way Rayquaza just shrugged off everything Amethio threw at it and then just left without a second thought was such a power move
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off the emotional resolution with Lapras in the previous episode, episode 33 sharply escalates the stakes by thrusting the Rising Volt Tacklers into a direct encounter with another of Lucius's legendary Six Heroes — the Black Rayquaza. This pivotal confrontation builds on the group's growing experience with legendary Pokémon while pushing Roy, Liko, and Amethio into defining moments. The fallout from this encounter directly feeds into the next episode, 'Respective Departures,' where characters process what happened and make trajectory-shifting decisions.
