In-Depth Episode Breakdown: The Catastrophic Laquium Core Awakens
For those who want to understand every strategic move and plot twist, here is the complete breakdown of everything that happened in this epic episode.
A Heroic Sacrifice and the Explorers’ Mutiny
Picking up exactly from the end of the previous episode, the situation is incredibly tense. Pagogo has transformed into its magnificent Stellar Form, successfully Terastallizing the 18 Tera Type representatives. However, Spinel refuses to let the purification process happen peacefully. He viciously orders the Explorers agents to attack the representative Pokémon while they are immobilized by the process.
Roy, Ult, and Friede try their best to defend the vulnerable Pokémon, but their Lucario and Sableye are heavily exhausted from their earlier battle against the Explorers Admins. When Charizard is taken down, Spinel orders Rubina and Indi to escalate the attack by using two Electrodes and ordering them to use Explosion. In a truly desperate and heroic move, Penny orders her Sylveon to use Reflect and Disarming Voice. While this brave action successfully saves most of the surrounding Pokémon, Sylveon itself gets caught in the massive blast and is defeated.
With one Tera Type representative missing, Pagogo begins to falter. Just when all hope seems lost, a massive plot twist occurs: Chalce, Coral, and Sidian make an appearance. Instead of attacking the Rising Volt Tacklers, Coral declares that she is completely done being bossed around by Spinel. In an unlikely alliance, she Terastallizes her Scream Tail, nicknamed Screamypuff, which seamlessly takes Sylveon’s place as the Fairy Tera Type representative, stabilizing Pagogo. Chalce and Sidian declare their independence from Spinel, realizing there is no future for the Strong Spheres.
Spinel’s Descent into Madness
As Pagogo resonates with the 18 Pokémon and begins erasing the Laquium crystals, Spinel’s reaction is chilling. He states that this betrayal by his teammates only reinforces his dark worldview: that people and Pokémon alike will always betray one another. He brushes off concepts like friendship and bonds as farcical and intangible illusions. Liko, however, fiercely rejects this ideology, holding on to the hope that Laquium does not have to drive a wedge between humans and Pokémon.
Growing increasingly unhinged, Spinel denounces Liko’s hope as ridiculous. In a shocking display of desperation, he embraces the Laquium crystals, refusing to let the Core be erased even if it costs him his life. The crystals grow around him, completely encasing and absorbing him into the pink mass, much to the alarm of his loyal Umbreon.
The Awakening of the Towering Core
Infused with Spinel’s tenacity, the Laquium Core forcefully resists purification. A massive crystal spear strikes Pagogo, completely halting the process and reverting it to its Terastal Form. The Laquium Core emerges from the ground, shaping the crystals into a massive, terrifying tower-like structure.
The Rising Volt Tacklers immediately launch a massive bombardment. Lucario, Sableye, and all the Terastallized Pokémon hit the Core with everything they have. Shockingly, the Core emerges completely unscathed and fires back a burst of energy that instantly reverts all the Terastallized Pokémon to normal. Despite this bleak turn of events, Liko stands up defiantly, inspiring everyone to keep fighting. She declares that setbacks do not equal failure.
An aerial and ground war ensues. The Core unleashes Laquium mist, which is blown away by Galarian Moltres and Amethio’s Corviknight using Hurricane. When tentacles of Laquium chase Roy, Ult, Friede, and Amethio through the sky, they are saved by an epic combination attack: Zygarde transforms into its Complete Forme, joining Rayquaza to unleash Thousand Arrows and Draco Meteor.
Dot’s Genius Strategy: Uncovering the Fatal Flaw
Despite the legendary onslaught, the Core forms into a giant crystalline flower, continuing its relentless barrage. Friede orders Captain Pikachu to use Rising Volt Tackle, which temporarily halts the crystal bombardment. It is during this moment that Liko notices a crucial detail: the Core is only attacking Cap, ignoring everyone else who is vulnerable.
Dot and Penny realize the horrific truth: the Core isn’t a living being. It is merely a substance reacting to external stimulus. It only attacks those who most recently attacked it. Using this, the team starts attacking in turns to simplify the Core’s attack pattern. However, the Core keeps repairing its damage.
Through careful observation, Dot figures out the ultimate pattern. The Core never makes defensive moves proactively; it only reacts. If an attack gets close to its spherical center, it reinforces its defenses there. This means the main sphere is its weak point! Furthermore, the Core is rapidly building resistance to every attack that hits it. Ult’s Dragonite uses Hyper Beam, but it does absolutely nothing.
The heroes come to a chilling realization: they only have one shot. They must hit the Core with an overwhelmingly powerful move that it has never experienced before. If they fail, they risk increasing its defenses to a point of absolute invincibility.

Yes! The video embedded at the top of this article is the complete Pokémon Horizons Episode 135, fully translated with high-quality English subtitles so you don’t miss any of the intense dialogue.
Why did Coral and the Explorers betray Spinel?
Spinel’s obsession with the Strong Spheres completely blinded him to reason. He admitted that he viewed bonds as weaknesses and never trusted his team. Realizing his plan would only lead to senseless destruction, Chalce, Sidian, and Coral turned against him to stabilize Pagogo.
How did Dot figure out the Laquium Core’s weakness?
Dot noticed that the Laquium Core operates purely on reaction. It only formed its crystal shields at the exact moment and location of an incoming attack. She deduced that its inner center is vulnerable if they can hit it with a massive, unseen attack before the outer shell can react, harden, and build a permanent resistance.
