Unless I missed one in episodes 1-21 which I'm 90% sure I didn't. This is the first shiny since Rayquaza to show up in Horizons, kinda crazy it took this long for another one to show up. And I'm sorry Liko that yellow shirt does not fit you at all, that shit ugly.

Edit: I forgot about Roy's Lucario. That thing is so fucking forgettable I forgot it was even shiny

Chat I need her, she's so FINE. despite it being a lil obvious in the preview I got spoiled on the evolution and one question immediately popped in my head. "This thing doesn't fight right? Lets be real Liko did not use Hattrem for battles at all during the timeskip, then how the fuck does evolve?" By the power of friendship is how. I may sound annoyed at this but honestly it doesn't bother me much, power of friendship is kinda expected when going through any pokemon story at some point. Besides I love Hatterene so I'm just happy to see it.

Liko coming to better understand Hattrem was super cute, but likewise with most of this arc so far. Not much to comment on outside of that. Charcadet slowly getting stronger that mf really loves to run the ones, got another cute Meowscarada being jealous moment I wish I was that ditto, why Eelektross had its head upwards walking out is beyond me but that was really funny.

And man when the fuck is Dot gonna do something again, feels like its been forever since she's done something big but if I think for more then 2 seconds. I remember we just got Tinkaton at the end of the last arc, curse of keeping up with weekly episodes.

Very fun episode, excited to see what Brair has learned next week.
