Summary:

Pose is the 1st ending song used as part of the Pocket Monsters Sun and Moon anime in Japan and is sung by Taiiku Okazaki.

Satoshi, Pikachu and Rotom spend most of the time dancing and showing off Z-Move poses. Portraits of the main characters and their partner Pokémon are seen rotating in the background.

Let's Dance the Z-Move Poses Together

The originally aired version of episode 19 featured the Let's Dance the Z-Move Poses Together (Ｚワザポーズをいっしょにおどろう) in ending segment which showcased Satoshi and Pikachu dancing to some of the Z-Move poses on Rotom Zukan's screen. All subsequent releases after the original TV Tokyo airing credited Key Animation and 2nd Key Animation a second time at the place where In-Between Check and In-Between Animation should be credited. This is likely due to the originally aired Satoshi Pose movements segment included in the credits being removed. The rental DVD has the fixed credits version.
