Pokémon Horizons Anime To Start New Arc One Year After Series Premiere? Here’s What We Know
The announcement also included a pretty loaded first look visual. Here is everything we know about the upcoming arc so far.
Major details about the Pokémon Horizons new arc was released
A few days ago, the Pokémon anime’s official X (formerly Twitter) account announced that the Pokémon Horizons anime will enter a new arc on 12th April 2024. The name of the new arc is Terastal Debut and along with the release date, a new visual was also released which gave the audience a first look into the possible characters and plot of the arc. The new arc is also starting just about one year after the premiere of the anime on 14th April 2023, which might be a coincidence.
The visual centered around the protagonists of the Pokémon Horizons, Liko and Roy, along with Dot, all in Naranja Academy school uniforms. They also had Tera Orbs in their hands, which is usually given to the students of Naranja, which means that the new arc will focus a lot on the Terastal phenomenon, as its name suggests. The visual also included the duo’s ninth-gen starter Pokémons, Fuecoco, Spritgatito, and Ouaxly, who originated from the Pokémon Violet, and Pokémon Scarlet video games.
However, the exact story of the arc has not yet been revealed. But we will probably get a new trailer and a peek into the storyline before the release date.
