Opening animation spoilers

• Sawyer's Grovyle evolves into a Sceptile and is able to Mega Evolve.
• Ash's Frogadier evolves into Greninja and learns Water Shuriken.

Trivia

• All the Pokémon that can be seen with Wulfric can be found at the Pokémon Village, which is where Wulfric is first found in Pokémon X and Y.
• This opening opens up similarly to the ending DreamDream, where the camera shows the main character's feet and them lifting up and tapping their left foot onto the ground. The difference between the two is that DreamDream focused is on Serena while XY&Z is focused on Ash.
