CoroCoro Comic's Official website posted an article about this episode just before the original airing on January 26th, 2024.


Anipoke is just around the corner! He's got his black sunglasses on and...... Hogator's become a Bad Boy?!


Broadcasting every week from 6:55 pm! The anime "Pocket Monsters" will start airing soon! In this article, we'll introduce you to the Pokémon and characters that will appear in today's episode, as well as comments from the voice actors and director, and other information you won't find anywhere else!

The Rising Voltecers, who are currently fundraising because their operating funds have run out, received a job offer from a scholar friend of Friede's. The job was to haul away a rock that was getting in the way of an archaeological dig! The Rising Volt Tackler's immediately rush to the site. The excavation site is in the middle of the desert under the blistering sun!


▲ It's a job that could be done with the help of Pokémon, and the reward is substantial....... Is there a reason!?


▲ Hogator heads to the scene to show off the results of his special training with Roy!


▲ Sunglasses are a necessity for excavation sites in the dazzling desert!?

The Rising Volt Tackler's are ready to get to work, but for some reason, work at the excavation site seems to have come to a halt. According to the scholar who requested the work, it seems that Waruvile and Waruvial are interfering with the work!


▲ Their job now is to move this huge rock. No wonder the reward is so high...!?


▲ The work does not seem to be progressing as well as expected because the Waruvial appears frequently at the site and destroys the heavy equipment.

Liko, Roy, and Freide go to see the inside of the ruins to investigate the incidents and the Waruvial... There they find the truth they never expected!!?


▲ The Rising Volt Tackler's heard that they would get rid of Waruvial and the others if they got in the way again, so they had to act.


▲ They found Meguroco inside the ruins! If they follow it...


▲ The Waruvial and Waruvile that they heard about are......!


▲ Liko and Friede look up and see Roy and Hogator in the circle with Waruvial!?

What are Roy and Hogator up to?
What are the true intentions of Waruvial by disturbing the excavation site......?
What is the reward for the excavation work and the Rising Volt Tackler's......??
Find out at 6:55 p.m. on the next episode!
