==Opening animation==
===Synopsis===
[[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}} walk out the gates together before a shot of her greeting the viewers occurs. She is seen holding a [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]] before a shot of [[Roy]] greeting the viewers occurs. Roy is seen walking with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, along with [[Dot]] and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} before a shot of Dot greeting the viewers occurs.

Roy runs ahead of Liko and Dot as an {{p|Arrokuda}} jumps out of the river next to them. The three kids and all their Pokémon are enjoying sandwiches by a campfire at night. The next scene shows them walking through a snowstorm. As they lay down happily on the grass, a next shot shows various Paldean [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] behind the trees before a {{p|Kingambit}} appears. A singalong shot occurs with [[Ann]] and [[Nemona]] on the bench closest to the camera, Liko in the middle behind them, Dot and [[Penny]] on the left, and Roy on the right. On the beat, {{p|Dewott}} and {{p|Pawmot}} jump in front of the camera, followed by {{p|Floragato}}, {{p|Fuecoco}} and {{p|Quaxly}}. After that plays a scene with [[Captain Pikachu]], [[Friede]] and Charizard.

Liko, Roy and Dot look out at the sunset together, ready for what lies ahead. The next shot shows [[Sidian]] and {{p|Garganacl}}, along with [[Coral]] and {{p|Glalie}}. Three Tera symbols glowing green, red and blue appear before turning into Tera crystals. Liko charges her [[Tera Orb]], along with Roy and Dot. Floragato Terastallizes into a Tera {{t|Grass}} [[type]], along with Fuecoco and Quaxly, who Terastallize into a Tera {{t|Fire}} type and a Tera {{t|Water}} type respectively. The next shot shows [[Jacq]], [[Clavell]], [[Geeta]], [[Dendra]] and [[Chalce]]. As Liko, Roy and Dot run across the grass, transitions of [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]] members occur in this order: [[Katy]] and {{p|Teddiursa}}, [[Brassius]] and {{p|Sudowoodo}}, [[Iono]] and {{p|Bellibolt}}, [[Kofu]] and {{p|Wugtrio}}, [[Tulip]] and {{p|Espathra}}, [[Ryme]] and {{p|Houndstone}}, [[Grusha]] and {{p|Cetitan}}, [[Larry]] and {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Flamigo}}, [[Hassel]] and {{p|Baxcalibur}}, [[Poppy]] and {{p|Tinkaton|Tinkie}}, and [[Rika]] and {{p|Clodsire}}.

Liko is about to take a bite of her sandwich before Floragato snatches it. After the camera focuses on Liko's eye, which becomes crystalized, the kids overlook a hill. Multiple Poké Balls are thrown in the air and become the title logo.
