The fact that anyone thinks Mew might join the SuMo cast as an actual capture just to showcase the Mewnium Z (which could just as easily debut in this year's film instead) astounds me.

Kiawe got Flyingium, so looks like that Z-Crystal is off the table for Ash.

Bug stone could mean many evolution options...
Bug Eevee evolution
combee male evolution
third level evolutions for many bug types

do you think that Lana's eevee will be a bug evolution or do you think she will go for a Vaporeon?

The "Bug Stone" is just a gag.

I vote for......Vaporeon

Torracat's moveset also has been confirmed to consist of Ember, Fire Fang, Flame Charge, and Revenge. Due to it forgetting Scratch, Torracat can no longer use Breakneck Blitz. Torracat now has to evolve into Incineroar, otherwise it will not be able to use any Z-Moves.

So with Kiawe getting the Flying Z-Crystal via his Rider Pokemon in Charizard, does this mean that Lana will get a Z-Crystal for Lapras? I mean Lillie has an Ice Z-Crystal but no Z-Ring to use it on and seeing as Lapras is part Ice Type, just saying its a possibility. As for Lana/Lillie catching Mew, I never said that was going to happen but only that they would be using its respective Z-Move in a similar fashion to how Ash used Nebby/Solgaleo. It points to Lana doing it unless Lillie obtains a Z-Ring for some reason. Gladion has the Dragon Z-Crystal so that kind of rules out Ash catching a Dragon Type. I just have no idea as to what Pokemon Ash will catch to fill out his roster. I'd be really disappointed if Ash ends a region with less than 6 Pokemon. I criticize XY/XYZ for giving Serena less than 6 Pokemon as the Female Lead. If Ash ends with less than 6 as the Male Lead... it will rightfully earn Black Sheep status that Best Wishes currently holds.

Has everyone seen the newest episode title on Serebii.net?

If not I'll post it. I was planning on doing it anyway. Regardless... it makes it blatantly obvious what Ash's next pokemon is going to be.

I mean... I guess I'm not surprised... I'm just... disappointed...

Anyway here it is. Courtesy of Serebii.net.

Episode 1055: A New Species Has Been Discovered! I Got a Meltan!!

Lmao... wow I did not see that coming but honestly I should have. Why go to the effort of creating a new Pokémon just for Pokémon GO that is portable to Lets GO and not promote it in the Anime? It’d be Ash’s first Steel Type too if I’m not mistaken along with the fact they haven’t demonstrated the Steel Z-Crystal yet(unless Molayne already did and my memory sucks). That would give Ash five Pokémon again and six if Poipole returns.

Meltan, huh? This will not only be Ash's first Steel-type, but also his first (and quite possibly his only) Mythical Pokemon, since Meltan and his evolved form have been stated to be Mythical Pokemon. So, after over 20 years, Ash finally gets a legendary Pokemon. Never thought I'd see the day...

Technically he did catch Poipole or an Ultra Beast. Would think that qualifies as his first mythical/legendary no?

Meh, i'm still waiting for his Eevee

The title doesn't specify who is catching Meltan. It could be anyone. Let's not jump to conclusions.

The only good thing about this is that we'll finally see Meltan's personality. So I may change my mind about it.

However... I can't help but seriously doubt my mind will be changed about it.

hmm in today's episode i half expected torracat to evolve but i guess ash isn't the main focus of this episode. bit shaken up to see shaymin out of nowhere. gen 4 confirmed??!! hmmmm
