Pokémon Dominicus and Moon had three seasons and over 100 episodes during its run. While the series turned off many because of its lack of risk, new general changes, and new animation style - it did have some gems that won over fans hearts.

A number of episodes pulled away from the normal routine that the evidence had settled into and provided entertainment to be enjoyed. These x episodes are the best places to start off on if you're on the fence about the series and but wanted to become a feeling of the series through its all-time highlights.

ten Alola! New Islands, New Pokémon!!

The very first episode almost feels non-canon at points - with the exception of a few elements that aren't seen again until the concluding function of the final season. Squad Skull was given an opportunity to smoothen as a new Squad Rocket.

Hop debuted in this episode for a short cameo with a different voice actor, and all the other main characters were introduced. It starts off humorous every bit y'all find Ash really letting the stress become of trying to be a master and beingness on a proper vacation.

9 Mission: Total Think!

This is the episode that provided its own version on what happened to Lily in the Sun and Moon games. While the games had more consistent handling of what happened to her, the Lord's day and Moon anime had a bit better of a way handling how she gets over it using her pokémon, the Alolan Vulpix named Snowy.

This episode introduced Faba, Lusamine'south lacky, as acting on his own in making the Ultra Beast Killer, Silvaly, before Lily walks in on one of his interdimensional experiments where she gets attack by an Ultra Fauna.  his series really takes on the thought of Ultra Sun and Moon's nice Lusamine more, but that inevitability causes more plot holes in the entire series by taking out the answers for the game based actions such as with Faba.

8 The Vagabond in the Market, Litten

This episode had a lot of humor with having a Litten based episode as it wandered around the streets while running into an Alolan Farsi.

The very thought of a dog-sized cat with a huge balloon caput wandering around and stealing food before coming under unfortunate events similar Tom and Jerry is pretty entertaining to watch.

7 Protect the Ranch! The Bluish Flame's Counterattack!!

This episode introduced a new side adversary who is a rich developer that wants to accept over i of the character'southward farms to build a hotel and willing to do anything to accomplish this.

While this is an old tale, expectations were the writers would water down the content like most of the other episodes. Just surprisingly, the villain is quite funny to meet him struggle and a decently thought out as well so he seems more real as a Villian then many shown on the Anime in a while.

6 A Full Battle Bounty!

This episode takes place in the heat of the battle of Dr. Kukui and Ash mail champion League. In the showtime episode of this battle they combined it with the end of the apocalypse episode. Because Ash won the champion's league, time decided to collapse in on itself and ship three apocalypse level Ultra Beasts to end the globe. This was easily fixed by everyone super-posing them away with Z moves.

The third part was the very stop simply wasn't the nigh exciting part of the boxing. The second part felt like something that was missing from the Alola League and that was feeling like an bodily League battle. It felt similar it had more than thought and strategy than whatsoever other in Sun and Moon.

5 One Journey Ends, Some other Begins...

This is the episode with the first official Pokemon death in the serial. It took guts to evidence information technology especially after all the years and xx seasons they went without giving anyone what happens in this important detail of Pokémon life.

Information technology too tried to show Litten having to pull away from its ill friend and trying to cope with it. While Ash's bulletin to Litten wasn't the most thought out piece, information technology is respectable that they went with this dark content matter with such a happy and bright series.

four Alola, Kanto!

This is part of the 2-part nostalgia episode that effectively tugged at your childhood feelings. This first part of a two-part special volition finer bring you lot back to Kanto more than the reboot film with Ho-Oh that tried to follow Ash's take chances from the start.

This episode also does a better job than the 3D animated Mewtwo remake movie. While scant in length you will find enjoyment in it if yous enjoyed the commencement season.

3 When Regions Collide!

This is the more action/climax function of the 2-role episode Kanto special in the Sun and Moon serial. You get to encounter many of Ash'southward Kanto Pokemon, as well as more decent battles every bit the Alolan Trainees who try to fight and learn from Brocka and Misty.

It's entertaining to come across who does well having a full-on battle against them as well as seeing the characters react to Kanto itself. And true to the series erstwhile format, Team Rocket shows up over again to take hold of Pikachu out of old spite for Ash and his friends.

2 Memories In The Mist

This is maybe the most emotionally complex episode and well thought out in the season. This involves a tale of Mallow coming to terms with her mother's death. Information technology actually had something mature to say most the subject field matter and moving on. One can see most of the happiness she shows throughout the series is really faked considering she holds deep-seated regret for the final words to her dying female parent when she was a young historic period were spiteful and angry considering of her mother's absence from abode.

It's well thought out from the angle that a kid wouldn't know what is happening until it has to be explained and devastating when it is. All this while her mother tries to protect her from what'south going on and has to bear that burden.

1 Enter the Champion!

One cannot go out out the moment where Ash finally became champion. After many-many years it finally happens after he came so shut in the generation earlier.

Information technology was something that was not obtained by Ash since the Orange League and the Boxing Frontier, but either mode it was his first official league win. It was a very happy moment for many.
