I did not expect hatenna to turn into such a menace the second it evolved into hattrem and seeing it knock everyone out with brutal swing just to use heal pulse right after was so funny and it shows how much lico is growing as a trainer even if she does not catch the massive annihilape that was right in front of her
kiawe
Building a bridge to solve the problem without just using force was a nice touch even if it felt weird that nobody caught that annihilape
m1ndc0mm4nd3r
Evolution really changed that little creature because seeing it smack those fighting types around before healing them was such a surprise
professor_turo_335
Liko and the others not catching a single one of those mankey or the primeape is such a huge missed opportunity, but watching the trio improve their teamwork to build a bridge was sweet.
vy_vampire
Those fake versions of dot and the others were so random and the fact they caused this entire mess with the mankey tribe just to fix a bag is such a ridiculous reason for a fight
viluy_384
Seeing liko realize her hatenna grew too big for the hoodie made me want to cry because that was their signature thing and now its just a memory but at least we got a scary evolution
jotaro_kujo_195
I actually screamed when those doppelgängers showed up because seeing a knockoff roy and lico just casually ruining everything for a bag strap was the funniest way to start a fight
artemis
The mystery of why Annihilape was so angry made the spooky atmosphere in the woods much better, and finding out it was just a broken vine was a great twist.
winry_rockbell_117
Hattrem using brutal swing to beat sense into those mankey before healing them was such a change for that little hatenna and seeing it look so smug after being a violent doctor is very strange
gendo_ikari_182
That annihilape looked terrifying in the dark and the lore about its rage being so strong it leaves its body makes that otherworldly name from ryme make so much more sense now
mayuri_madness_464
My heart went out to that poor Annihilape after seeing how stressed it was over the food situation and I'm just glad Liko and the others could actually help them out
zanjutsu_zealot_474
Learning that Annihilape comes from Primeape was a cool bit of lore and seeing the whole pack of monkeys just constantly losing their minds over a bridge was actually pretty hilarious
soul_society_slayer_471
those two Primeape evolving into Annihilape just from being that angry was a cool way to show how scary they get
yandere1001
That entire pack of Mankey and Primeape losing their minds over a broken vine was so funny because they were all just hungry and stressed out for no reason
ghetsis_325
I thought the mystery about the otherworldly pokemon was going to be something way more spooky but having it just be an army of furious Annihilape was honestly more stressful and seeing Hatenna evolve to save everyone by swinging on them and then patching them up made that whole fight so memorable even if I will miss her being in the hoodie
sailor_uranus_397
Those fake versions of the main trio were so random and I hope we see them again because having two sets of the same kids running around is pure chaos
professor_rowan_331
I actually got bummed out when Hattrem realized she couldn't fit in the hood anymore, that was such a comfy spot for her
max_338
That bridge building scene was actually super sweet, because it showed how well the three of them work together now, especially when they were helping those angry Primeape
kyogre_307
Hattrem using Brutal Swing to knock everyone out and then following it with Heal Pulse is such a chaotic battle style
liltott_laser
Hatenna becoming a Hattrem just to beat some sense into those Primeape was the best way to handle that situation and her healing them after was a nice touch
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off the environmental challenges of 'Wattrel's High Wind Warning!', this episode pivots toward exploration and the unknown, expanding the scope of what Liko, Roy, and Dot are uncovering about the Pokémon world's deeper mysteries. It serves as a narrative bridge leading directly into 'The Treasure of Eternity,' which escalates those mysteries significantly. At episode 53, Horizons is well into its rhythm, and this installment reinforces the series' commitment to layering discovery-based storytelling alongside its ongoing adventure arc.
