crocalor learning ancient power while facing down that massive volcano eruption was a great moment for roy
ein
The twist that this was just a normal wild Entei actually makes a lot of sense, especially since it was way smaller than Lucius's other pokemon
rayquaza_306
the theory about lucius owning a gouging fire instead of a regular entei feels so much more likely now that we are headed back to paldea and area zero and the way the gang realized this wasn't their target after that massive battle was handled well because it makes the search for the true six heroes much more interesting and grounded
breemx1
I loved the detail of the new island forming from the eruption, it felt like a classic legendary pokemon event
hitotsume_kozo_31
it was funny thinking about that wild entei just trying to find its friends while the volt tacklers kept yelling about some guy named lucius
m1ndc0mm4nd3r
watching captain pikachu actually get burned by sacred fire made me realize just how much stronger these legendaries are compared to normal pokemon
saitama_smasher
seeing raikou and suicune standing on that new island together was such a cool way to finish the episode
kami_kaze_80
finding out the exeed president is amethio's father was the last thing i expected today and it explains why he is so obsessed with getting results
ulquiorra_uber
I felt so bad for the team trying to fight that thing because Entei just brushed off everything Friede and the kids threw at it
tellu
Entei was a total threat in that fight and it was honestly impressive to see Roy's Crocalor actually land a hit that mattered even if they were clearly outmatched the whole time
orihime_oracle_103
I am still reeling from that Amethio reveal, because finding out Gibeon is his father changes everything I thought I knew about the Explorers hierarchy
elle_hq
The pacing felt a little rushed since they jumped from Johto to Paldea so fast, but it works since we are finally getting to the Area Zero stuff everyone has been waiting for
obanai_ophidian
Everyone thought this was the Six Heroes Entei but it being just a random wild one is such a smart way to tease Gouging Fire instead and moving the group back to Paldea for Area Zero feels like the story is finally ready to explain what Lucius was really doing with those ancient pokeballs and that crazy image in Briar's notes
tyme_366
I felt so bad for Captain Pikachu getting burned by that Sacred Fire while saving Crocalor because he usually feels untouchable and seeing Entei tanking everything so easily was scary
sakura_strength
Crocalor using Stomping Tantrum to actually make a legendary flinch was such a good moment for Roy and seeing all four of them fight together was a rare treat
zerotwofan
That twist about Amethio being the son of the Exceed president is huge for his character arc and it makes so much sense why he feels so much pressure to succeed
sakurafan
I did not expect that Entei to just be a normal wild one and seeing Briar show off those Gouging Fire notes has me thinking Lucius had a paradox Pokemon all along
riruku_rhythm
Entei coming out of the volcano looked so cool and that battle actually felt dangerous for once since even Cap got burned saving Crocalor
yosuzume_yurei
That legendary trio appearance at the end of the episode was amazing because I love Raikou and he barely ever shows up in the actual series compared to the other two
microwaved_dave
It was pretty obvious this wasn't the right Entei when the balls didn't glow and Terapagos stayed asleep but at least the animation during the fire attacks looked really sharp and bright
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off 'Ludlow's Homecoming!', which gave the team a quieter, grounded breather, episode 78 accelerates the overarching quest by pursuing Lucius's Entei directly. This marks a significant milestone in the legendary Pokémon hunt that has been driving the season's core narrative. It feeds directly into 'Over the Top!', deepening the team's understanding of these legendary encounters and raising the stakes for what lies ahead.
