In this latest cinematic adventure, Ash meets the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion when it crashes down from the sky, creating a cloud of dust—and a mysterious force binds the two of them together! Volcanion despises humans and tries to get away, but it’s forced to drag Ash along as it continues its rescue mission. They arrive in a city of cogs and gears, where a corrupt minister has stolen the ultimate invention: the Artificial Pokémon Magearna, created 500 years ago. He plans to use its mysterious power to take control of this mechanical kingdom! Can Ash and Volcanion work together to rescue Magearna? One of the greatest battles in Pokémon history is about to unfold!

Plot

On his way to becoming a Pokémon Master, Ash and his companions continue on with their journey. But suddenly, a large mass enveloped in white smoke descends from the sky and lands in front of the group. Surrounding the area with white smoke, a figure emerges... It's the Mythical Pokémon, Volcanion.

Coming from the remote Nebel Plateau, Volcanion lives with Pokémon harmed by humans, and thus holds great distaste towards them. Ignoring the concerns of Ash and his friends, Volcanion immediately tries to leave, but a mysterious force binds Volcanion and Ash to each other. Finding themselves unable to separate, Ash is dragged along as Volcanion continues on its mission.

In a city where large cogs and gears run continuously, a corrupt minister of the Azoth Kingdom has obtained the ultimate invention: the Artificial Pokémon Magearna. Magearna was created 500 years ago and since lost, until the minister found and kidnapped it from the Nebel Plateau. The minister plans to use Magearna's mysterious power of its "Soul-Heart" to take control of the mechanical kingdom.

Can Ash and Volcanion work together to rescue Magearna? What power does Magearna's Soul-Heart hold? Set in a mechanical kingdom of machinery, one of the greatest battles in the history of Pokémon begins to unfold!

Events

Greninja distribution artwork

A CoroCoro sponsored election was issued to decide the distribution Pokémon for the movie, among others. Greninja won first place, with runner ups including Arceus, Mew, Pikachu, and Sylveon as second, third, fourth, and fifth place, respectively, as well as Simisear ranking last place at 720. When distributed, Greninja came with a Master Ball as a held item.

Similarly, Simisear acted as a distribution Pokémon at various Pokémon Center stores in Japan from June 25 to July 15, 2016 as a consolation for being put in last place in the elections. This particular Simisear came at Level 5, have the moves Work Up, Hone Claws, Power-Up Punch, and Giga Impact, and is equipped with an Air Balloon.

Other events took place between June 17 and July 8 (with it potentially ending earlier if the codes run out before the latter date) and between July 9 and July 15, passcodes are distributed that allow the player to download a Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gengar, respectively, that are modeled after Chymia and Jarvis's respective Pokémon. The latter code is good until August 31st.

In addition, a special disk for Pokémon Ga-Olé distributed at theaters will allow the player to receive the Mythical Pokémon Magearna for Pokémon Sun and Moon via the latter game's QR scanner after release.

Trivia

  • This film's introduction shows the beginning of Alain's battle with Korrina, the resolution of which was seen in A Diamond in the Rough!.
