The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted a Pokémon Anime Trivia on November 5th, 2024.

Pokémon Anime Trivia:
Gardie (Hisui Form): The Pokémon that accompanied Sazare in episode 71 was a Gardie in the Region Form from the Hisui region. The Hisui region is the former name of the Sinnoh region. Basagiri, one of the Six Hero Pokémon, is also a Pokémon from the Hisui region, maybe there's some kind of connection here...?

六英雄ポケモンの #バサギリ も、ヒスイ地方のポケモン何かつながりがあるのかも…

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account promoted the preview for episode 72 on November 6th, 2024.

The Pokémon anime episode airing Friday November 8th is... episode 72, "On the Trail! Search for Basagiri!!". Believe it or not, the photo Sazare had taken... was of a Basagiri! After learning this photo was taken on Mt. Tengu, Liko and the others immediately head there together with Sazare, but...?!

Sazare travels the world taking pictures of all kinds of Pokémon she encounters along the way. She enjoys meeting new Pokémon, and even uses the Pokémon distribution map Friede created as a reference guide. However, she can't recall where she took the Basagiri photo, and apparently also had to run for her life as the Basagiri raised its axe against her...

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted a Pokémon Anime Spotlight on November 7th, 2024.

Pokémon Anime Spotlight:
The Basagiri Sazare took a photo of is a Pokémon that once lived in a region called Hisui. It's said that you can no longer find Basagiri anywhere, though one of the Six Heroes that accompanied Lucius was a Basagiri... so does that mean the Basagiri in the photo is the one from the Six Heroes?

CoroCoro Comic's Official website posted an article about this episode just before the original airing on November 8th, 2024.


Anipoke is just around the corner! Surely it's somewhere in these mountains......?! Searching for the Six Heroes Basagiri!!

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!


Last time, Dot met the traveling photographer Sazare in Suiryoku Town. She's originally from the Sinnoh region, and one of the photos she took was undoubtedly a picture of a Basagiri! Liko and her friends immediately head to Mount Tengu, where Sazare took the photo! ...Are they be climbing a mountain again!?


▲ They head to Mount Tengu, where Sazare took a photo of Basagiri. Is Basagiri somewhere on this mountain!?

However, the only clue was a single photograph. Sazare seemed to be in the forest when she found it, but not only did he not remember where she had taken the picture, but her memories of the moment were a blur like she was dreaming.


▲ Sazare accompanies them as they search for clues about Basagiri, but......

While searching for Basagiri, Liko and her friends are attacked by a wild Pokémon, and they are all separated. In the midst of all this, Liko finds something interesting. It's marks scratched into a tree in the forest that looks as if it has been cut by something large! Was it done by Basagiri......!? Can Liko and her friends find Basagiri!?


▲ Liko and her friends are attacked by wild Hellgar and Delvil's, and are separated!!


▲ The ground beneath Roy and Achigator collapses and they fall into a cave!


▲ Liko found a slash marks. Basagiri's most distinctive feature, axe-like hands comes to mind......


▲ Was this done by Basagiri!? Is it leading them somewhere, or is it a warning not to get any closer......

the rest of the story will be on AniPoke tonight at 6:55pm! Is the Basagiri that Sazare met one of the Six Heroes? Will Liko and the others be able to find Basagiri? Don't miss it!!

The official Japanese Anime PR Twitter account posted a Pokémon Anime Camera feature on Nocember 28th, 2024 by #もじゃクッキー @mojacookie.

Pokémon Anime Camera:
Here are the two photos Dot and Sazare took of each other in the Land of Kitakami. Dot and Welkamo aren't used to being photographed, which led to Sazare getting a very novel photo of them. And it looks like the Ohrot they battled is poking its head into the photo Dot took of Sazare and Hisui Gardie?
