Mad-Paced Getter (Japanese: ゲッタバンバン Getta Banban) is the second opening theme of the XY series. It debuted with XY055, replacing Mega V (Volt). It was replaced by XY&Z in XY094.

According to songwriter Sako, the lyrics of the song were written to expand the image of Ash and Clemont. Following their respective goals and dreams as numerous as the Pokémon, the song encourages everyone to fully get each one of them at a mad pace.

A cover of the song sung by Rica Matsumoto as Ash featuring Pikachu was released on the Aim to Be a Pokémon Master -20th Anniversary- CD.

Opening animation spoilers

• A Trainer, with a Treecko, will debut in the near future.

Variant 1

• Ash catches a Goomy.
• Ash's Goomy evolves into Sliggoo and later into Goodra.

Variant 2

• Clemont's Luxio evolves into Luxray.
• Serena's Fennekin evolves into Braixen.

Variant 3

• Ash and Alain meet each other.
• Ash catches a Noibat.
• Serena catches an Eevee.

Trivia

• In the second variant, at the part where Serena and her Pokémon are performing in a Pokémon Showcase, the outfits worn match those found on the DreamDream Limited Pokémon Edition cover art.
• The complete team roster shown in the second variant was valid for less than one episode, as Sliggoo evolved in the episode directly following Fennekin's evolution into Braixen.
  • A similar error is present in the third variant; while Sawyer's Treecko was present in this variant, it evolved in the episode before Noibat was caught.
• This song is featured in the game Dancing? Pokémon Band, made available with the Ver.1.1.0 update.
• In the third variant, the scene featuring Eevee's dancing is very similar to a scene in A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!.
• Despite the fact that Ash and Alain meeting each other was spoiled in the third variant, the two didn't actually meet until From A to Z!, the episode after this opening was replaced.
• This is the first Japanese opening theme, and the only one so far, to have no clips from the opening animation used in any English opening theme.

Errors

• In the first variant, during the scene of Ash and his friends riding on the giant Poké Balls, Clemont and Bonnie's giant Poké Ball is seen cut off in one frame.
• In the first variant and second variant, at the part where Ash is releasing his Pokémon, the toes on Frogadier's feet are colored white instead of dark blue. This error was later fixed in the third variant.
• In the second variant and onwards, at the part where Serena is about to release her Pokémon, Pancham's Poké Ball's pattern colors are swapped as she is holding it upside down.
• In the third variant when Noibat falls to the ground, its eyelids are colored purple instead of black. This error was fixed in A Fashionable Battle! and onward.
• In the third variant when Serena, Braixen, and Pancham are watching Eevee dancing on a rocky platform from afar, part of Serena's dress is colored red instead of pink. This error was fixed in Scary Hospitality! and onward.
• In the first variant, at the part where the main characters and their Pokémon are looking at the sunset, Luxio's pupils are black instead of yellow. In the same scene in second and third variants, Luxray's stomach is black instead of blue.

Variants

Clips from the movie are used to promote its premiere

1. XY055 - XY060: The original animation.
2. XY061 - XY070: The animation is updated to show Serena with her new design, Ash's Sliggoo, Clemont's Luxray, and Serena's Braixen.
3. XY071 - XY093: The animation updated with the following changes: Ash meeting Alain in place of Clemont appearing after Ramos, Valerie, and Olympia appeared; Noibat in place of Sliggoo and the scene of Goomy fully evolving to Goodra was replaced with Ash's Noibat falling to the ground and crying; and Ash's Gym Battle against Clemont and the view of Lumiose City were replaced with Eevee dancing on a rocky platform at night and Serena watching from afar with Braixen and Pancham.

Besides these variants, from A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell? through A Legendary Photo Op!, clips from Hoopa and the Clash of Ages were used in, replacing all the footage from the regular sequence, except for Ash and his friends' preparations at the beginning sequence, but only for the first airings on TV Tokyo.
