Friday, June 9th, 2023 / Episode 10 Nemo and Colza
When Liko and Roy arrive in Bowl Town, the two of them meet the Champion Rank Trainer Nemo who accompanies them to Gym Leader Colza, but it turns out his Gym is closed...?! What has happened to him...?!


A comment from Eri Kitamura, the voice of Nemo:
It was both fun and educational for me to bounce ideas off the anime staff as we fine-tuned Nemo's characterization based on both my personal interpretation of her characterization from when I played the Pocket Monsters Scarlet/Violet video game and the characterization they wanted to do.
The Pokémon battle fanatic Nemo you know from the video game is super intense in the anime as well! Everything she did was so filled with energy I was dripping with sweat while playing her!! I've played several Pocket Monsters characters before, both anime and video game ones, and I'm extremely honored I once again get to play such a wonderful character! I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions we'll get from Nemo in the anime myself, so please look forward to this episode!


A comment from Kazuya Nakai, the voice of Colza:
I was initially really worried about this role because Colza is a character that attracted so much attention from everyone that played the game, but when I first started playing him I had so much fun my worries were instantly blown away. Colza seems very gloomy and hard to please at first, but it's no surprise that the children that live nearby love him dearly. He's very picky, but also extremely open minded and tries to see the best in others. I just love his constantly swinging emotional state, he's such a good person. I myself am also really looking forward to seeing what Liko and Roy will get out of their encounter with him and what he'll get out of his encounter with them.

【ネモ役・喜多村英梨さんコメント】
ゲーム『ポケットモンスター スカーレット・バイオレット』をプレイしていた時に自分が解釈していたネモのキャラクター像と、アニメチームのスタッフの皆様が創り上げたいネモのキャラクター像との擦り合わせや微調整が、芝居への取り組みとして楽しくもあり勉強にもなりました。

Umbreon Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Snarl and Foul Play your way through the competition with the Moonlight Pokémon on Aeos Island.

Channel your Inner Focus as Umbreon in Pokémon UNITE! Like Espeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon, the Moonlight Pokémon begins each match as Eevee before it evolves into Umbreon during battle. But unlike its fellow Eevee Evolutions, Umbreon is a Melee Defender with a bit of moxie to its name—prepare to unleash Mean Look, Snarl, and Foul Play as this Dark-type Pokémon. You can obtain Umbreon for 12,000 Aeos coins or 575 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee Shop. Umbreon will only be obtainable with Aeos gems for the first seven days of its release.

Umbreon is joining the fray, but there’s even more on the horizon for fans who are over the moon for Eevee and its Evolutions. Enjoy Eevee everywhere during the Eevee Festival with Eevee Appeal-o-rama battles—special quick battles in which only Eevee can participate! Eevee will be scattered all over the map, and Gigantamax Eevee will make an appearance too. During this event, players will be able to earn fabulous prizes, including Unite license puzzle pieces for Espeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon. Players will also be able to style their favorite Eevee Evolutions with discounted Checkered Holowear. The Eevee festivities will take place until Thursday, June 22, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

Read on to learn more about everything Umbreon has to offer and to pick up a few tips before basking in the moonlight on Aeos Island.

Umbreon Basics

Ability: Anticipation (Eevee) - When Eevee would be shoved, thrown, or left unable to act, that effect is negated. This Ability goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Ability: Inner Focus (Umbreon) - When Umbreon would be shoved, thrown, or left unable to act, that effect is negated. For a short time, Umbreon also becomes immune to hindrances, and its Defense and Sp. Def are increased. This Ability goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Basic Attacks

Umbreon’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, lunging at an opposing Pokémon and dealing damage. This boosted attack also restores Umbreon’s HP. The lower Umbreon’s remaining HP, the more HP is restored.

Lv. 1 & 2 Moves

Swift - Eevee shoots star-shaped rays, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and applying a mark to them. Eevee’s movement speed is increased when it is near marked opposing Pokémon. When Eevee deals damage to marked opposing Pokémon, its next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. Fake Tears - Eevee feigns crying, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokémon and decreasing their Defense and Sp. Def while granting Eevee a shield.

Lv. 4 Moves

Mean Look - Umbreon pins an opposing Pokémon with a dark, arresting look. For a short time, the opposing Pokémon becomes surrounded by a black zone, which it cannot leave. While Umbreon is in the black zone, its basic attacks become boosted attacks, and it deals increased damage. Mean Look can be upgraded to increase the black zone’s duration.
Foul Play - Umbreon charges, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and decreasing their movement speed. If the charge hits an opposing Pokémon, Foul Play can be used again. If Foul Play is used again, Umbreon sweeps in front of itself with its tail, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits, decreasing their movement speed, and shoving them. The second stage of Foul Play deals increased damage based on the Attack of the opposing Pokémon hit in the first stage. The higher their Attack, the higher the damage. Foul Play can be upgraded to make Umbreon’s next basic attack after Foul Play become a boosted attack.

Lv. 6 Moves

Wish - Umbreon makes a wish for an ally Pokémon. For a set amount of time, that ally Pokémon receives reduced damage, then afterward, the wish comes true and restores HP to that Pokémon. If the targeted ally Pokémon is knocked out before the wish comes true, a different ally Pokémon near it takes the wish instead. Wish can be upgraded to further reduce the damage received by the targeted ally Pokémon—as well as increase the amount of HP restored when the wish comes true.
Snarl - Umbreon yells as if ranting about something, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area around it and decreasing their Attack, Sp. Atk, and movement speed while also granting Umbreon a shield. Umbreon continues to yell for a set amount of time, then it lets loose a final shout, leaving opposing Pokémon in the area around it unable to act and further decreasing their Attack and Sp. Atk. The Attack and Sp. Atk decreases can stack. Snarl can be upgraded to increase the length of time the final shout leaves opposing Pokémon unable to act.

Umbreon’s Unite Move, Moonlight Prance

Umbreon continually recovers HP when it is not in combat. Umbreon also leaps up and absorbs the shields of opposing Pokémon in the area around it, taking them for itself. Then, Umbreon lands, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and leaving them unable to act. For a short time afterward, when an opposing Pokémon in the area of effect is granted a shield, Umbreon absorbs a portion of it and takes it for itself.

Metagame Watch

Melee Defenders need to stay in the action and make space for their less durable and less mobile teammates. Umbreon is a unique Melee Defender that focuses less on hindering opposing Pokémon and more on healing with its boosted attacks and with Wish—all while making its way through opposing Pokémon with Foul Play and Snarl. These moves allow Umbreon to focus on diving in and knocking out opposing Attackers while using self-healing to avoid being knocked out itself.

Strong Against: Blastoise - Umbreon should usually avoid attacking bulkier Pokémon like Blastoise, but Umbreon’s Unite Move, Moonlight Prance, can take great advantage of Pokémon with large shields. At higher levels, Blastoise’s Unite Move, Hydro Typhoon, grants Blastoise a huge shield that allows it to dive into the enemy backline without concern. When Umbreon uses Moonlight Prance, Umbreon can immediately steal away that shield, effectively stealing some of Blastoise’s HP for itself.

Weak Against: Mew - Foul Play allows Umbreon to chase down most Pokémon, but Mew’s high mobility makes it difficult for Umbreon to chase down the New Species Pokémon. Mew also has long-range moves, like Solar Beam and Electro Ball, that can take down Umbreon in a one-on-one fight. As Umbreon, it’s best to target Mew with additional backup and extra hindrances. Otherwise, it can be challenging to pressure the Ranged Attacker with Snarl, Foul Play, or Mean Look.

New Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet Obsidian Flames Debuts Type-Shifted Tera Pokémon ex

Noteworthy cards from the expansion include:

• 15 Pokémon ex and six Tera Pokémon ex
• 12 illustration rare Pokémon
• Six special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards
• 12 ultra rare full-art etched Pokémon ex and Supporter cards

Johto fans, this one is for you! The next wave of limited edition Pokémon skateboard decks from Bear Walker are available at Pokémon Center UK, featuring Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile! High resolution photos from the press release have been added to an Imageboard thread.

Pokémon Center UK and Bear Walker Announce Brand-New Limited Edition Skateboard Designs Featuring Johto First Partner Pokémon Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile

London, United Kingdom – 24 May 2023 — Following the popular release of the Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu custom skateboard decks by industry craftsman Bear Walker earlier this year, The Pokémon Company International announced today that three new limited edition skateboard designs featuring the first partner Pokémon from Johto are now available exclusively at Pokémon Center in the UK.


Each skateboard deck features a built-in textured surface and natural wood accents that complement a bold design of Chikorita, Cyndaquil or Totodile, who fans will remember from the Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games that originally launched in 2001 in Europe. Complete with stunning backgrounds that match each Pokémon’s type and limited to just 250 units of each design, the skateboard decks also ship with decorative numbered cards and two wall mounts for display.

“I loved the Johto region as a child for how it expanded the Pokémon world on from the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue games and introduced so many fun and interesting Pokémon,” Bear Walker said. “As Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver were so important to me, I wanted to do something fresh and exciting for this collection. We have completely reworked the entire board, right down to the shape and handles, while still having the focus of the design being on the Pokémon themselves to let them shine.”

The TOKYO FLOWER CARPET 2023 was held from May 20th, 2023 to May 22nd, 2023 on Gyoko-dori in Marunouchi, Tokyo. As part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s arts and culture creation subsidy project, the Hanae Culture Association aims to create a new landscape with Tokyo as the capital of flower paintings. The theme of the exhibition is "Flowers have no borders!"

Flower painter Yasuhiko Fujikawa, who has been creating flower paintings all over the world, created four flower paintings (about 300 ㎡) with 70,000 roses and Gyoko-dori Avenue was covered with a carpet of roses. The original designs are a fusion of traditional Ukiyo-e works with a modern flare, and the Hana-Kabuki works will be presented in a new style, the first of its kind in the world.


The main work is Pokémon Suzumi (ぽけもんのすずみ), a collaboration with The Pokémon Company and Japanese-style painter Akira Shiozaki. It is based on the work Cat Suzumi (猫のすずみ) by Kuniyoshi Utagawa, an Ukiyo-e artist active in the late Edo period and known for his love of cats. Please enjoy the world of Pokémon based in Ukiyo-e, in which a male and female Pikachu enjoy boating.


Junichi Masuda was in attendance to promote the flower painting and he posted a few pictures on his Twitter feed. High resolution pictures of the flower display have been added to an Imageboard thread.
