Spoiler warning: This article discusses the full story and ending of Pokémon Horizons Episode 155.

Previously, in Pokémon Horizons Episode 154: Paldea in Ruin: Charge!, the group learned more about the four Ruinous Pokémon and discovered that they were heading toward Mesagoza. Historian Hokkora warned that allowing them to gather would be dangerous. Episode 155 finally explains why—and what the Trainers can do to stop the disaster.

Pokémon Horizons Episode 155 Recap: The Four Battles Continue

The episode resumes in the middle of Roy’s confrontation with Chien-Pao. At the same time, Dot is facing Wo-Chien, Ult is trying to break through Ting-Lu’s defenses, and Liko is testing her Pokémon against Chi-Yu. Each Trainer has a different battle strategy, yet every encounter reveals something important about the Pokémon they are facing.

The four Treasures of Ruin seem almost impossible to overpower through ordinary tactics. Their abilities force the young Trainers to adjust, experiment, and recognize that understanding their opponents may be more important than simply winning.

Roy vs. Chien-Pao: Mega Lucario, Skeledirge and Kilowattrel

Roy begins by Mega Evolving Lucario and encouraging it to feel Chien-Pao’s movements through aura rather than relying only on sight. Lucario finds an opening and attacks with Metal Claw, followed by Close Combat. Even then, Chien-Pao’s extraordinary speed and the surrounding snow make it a formidable opponent.

Roy recognizes Chien-Pao’s skill and strength without losing his excitement for the battle. He switches tactics by commanding Skeledirge to use Torch Song, making it harder for Chien-Pao to hide in the snow. Skeledirge then unleashes Flamethrower. Later, Roy brings in Kilowattrel for an Electro Ball attack.

Roy’s battle highlights his growing ability to coordinate several partners, combining aura, fire, and electricity while continuing to admire the Legendary Pokémon’s power.

Dot vs. Wo-Chien: Quaquaval Learns Aqua Step

Dot has a surprising realization during her battle with Wo-Chien. She notices that the Pokémon pays close attention to food and becomes especially interested when it sees Berries. Rather than continuing with only direct attacks, Dot has Quaquaval lure Wo-Chien toward the food.

The discovery changes the mood of the encounter. Dot begins seeing Wo-Chien as a Pokémon with its own habits and priorities, not merely as a dangerous creature from a legend. She even compares its independent personality to her own.

As the battle continues, Quaquaval begins moving in an unfamiliar rhythm. Dot encourages it to keep going, and the movement becomes a new attack: Aqua Step. The moment gives Dot a meaningful breakthrough and another reason to appreciate her partner’s development.

Ult vs. Ting-Lu: Mega Sableye and Dragonite Fight Back

Ult and his Pokémon struggle with Ting-Lu’s long-range attacks. He orders Dragonite to use Twister, but Ting-Lu keeps making it difficult to get close enough for a decisive strike. Ult responds with a risky plan: he provokes Ting-Lu into attacking so that he can create an opening.

He then Mega Evolves Sableye and uses its enormous gemstone as part of the counterattack. Ult later coordinates Sableye’s Power Gem with Dragonite’s Hyper Beam, pushing the battle forward through teamwork instead of trying the same approach repeatedly.

Ult’s determination remains as intense as ever, but the confrontation also demonstrates how much stronger he becomes when he combines his Pokémon’s different abilities.

Liko vs. Chi-Yu: Meowscarada, Hatterene and a Different Kind of Battle

Facing Chi-Yu, Liko relies on both observation and teamwork. Hatterene uses Psycho Cut, while Meowscarada attacks with Flower Trick. Liko recognizes Chi-Yu’s Dark- and Fire-type combination, but the fight remains difficult as the Pokémon keeps evading and retaliating.

Hatterene later uses Confusion but becomes exhausted. Liko thanks it and allows it to rest. Meowscarada continues the battle with Magical Leaf, and Liko calls for Acrobatics when another opportunity appears.

Throughout the fight, Liko is fascinated by Chi-Yu’s movements. She asks it to show her more rather than treating it only as an enemy. This attitude prepares the audience for the episode’s central theme: the four Treasures of Ruin can be approached as Pokémon with feelings and histories of their own.

Hokkora Reveals the True Origin of the Four Treasures of Ruin

While the battles unfold, Raifort asks Hokkora what truly happened to the four Pokémon long ago. His account is different from the familiar legend told in Episode 154.

In the distant past, Paldea was divided among kingdoms that fought one another. A nobleman was betrayed by his allies, who stole his four precious treasures. Those objects then passed between people motivated by cruelty and greed, absorbing resentment and other dark human emotions.

The treasures were eventually left in four separate places: a forest, a snowy mountain, a wasteland, and a volcano. Over time, the nobleman’s anger and the hatred produced by war became so powerful that the treasures took the forms of Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, and Chi-Yu.

Hokkora explains that all four carried traces of the same resentment. They were drawn toward the former royal castle, leaving destruction in their wake. The frightened king sought help from a young woman who had traveled from the east and could form deep connections with Pokémon.

The Young Woman Who Calmed the Four Pokémon

Instead of trying to destroy the four Pokémon, the young woman approached them, gained their trust, and promised not to harm them. She told them that they could sleep peacefully until the fighting and unrest had passed, and that she would wake them when the time was right.

The four Pokémon accepted her kindness and became calm. Yet the king still feared their power and demanded that they be sealed away. The young woman was made to assist with the shrines, but she secretly altered their seals. Hokkora is interrupted before he can explain exactly how those changes worked.

This historical account reframes the Ruinous Pokémon’s actions. They were born from suffering caused by human beings, but they were also capable of responding to compassion.

Why Did Chien-Pao, Wo-Chien, Ting-Lu and Chi-Yu Try to Merge?

The four Pokémon finally reach the same place. Instead of simply battling the Trainers, they begin turning toward one another in an unsettling way. Hokkora explains that the common resentment within them is pushing them to absorb one another and return to a single existence.

The danger is even worse than the group expected. If the process continues, the four individual Pokémon may cease to exist, leaving behind one being made entirely of hatred. Liko is horrified by the possibility of losing all four.

Coral and Sidian appear during the commotion. Coral boasts that she was responsible for releasing the rare Pokémon and tries to interfere by ordering Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Her attempt does not stop the crisis, and the already exhausted Trainers are left wondering how they can protect the four Pokémon.

Koraidon and Miraidon Return: The Episode 155 Climax

Just when the situation seems impossible, Koraidon and Miraidon arrive. Liko and Roy remember that both Pokémon had appeared unusually interested in the shrines during the earlier Cyclizar race. Raifort wonders if they had already sensed the Treasures of Ruin awakening.

Roy and Liko welcome the unexpected help and urge the two powerful Pokémon into action. Koraidon and Miraidon confront the four Treasures of Ruin as the other Trainers watch the battle unfold.

Working together, the two Legendary Pokémon bring the dangerous confrontation to an end. The four Treasures of Ruin remain separate. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult express their appreciation for the encounter and hope to grow stronger for a future reunion.

This resolution is important because the Trainers do not simply defeat four monsters. They help prevent the Pokémon from losing their individual identities to the hatred that once created them.

Pokémon Horizons Episode 155 Ending Explained: What Did the Ruinous Pokémon Really Want?

After the battle, Hokkora reflects that the people who originally caused the Treasures of Ruin’s resentment disappeared a long time ago. The four no longer need to become a single manifestation of hatred.

Raifort suggests a more emotional possibility: perhaps the Pokémon were never seeking revenge against humanity at all. They may have been searching for the young woman who once treated them with care and understood their feelings.

This remains Raifort’s interpretation, not a confirmed statement from the four Pokémon themselves. Still, it connects the entire Paldea storyline. The legends remembered their destructive power, but the complete history reveals the human cruelty and kindness that shaped their lives.

Back at the academy, the festival scenes bring a sense of relief. The Trainers have made it through a crisis that threatened both Mesagoza and the four Pokémon themselves.

Coral’s Surprising Secret: Who Could Remove the Ancient Stakes?

Near the end of the episode, Hokkora finally reveals how the young woman altered the seals. Only someone who genuinely loved Pokémon and connected with them from the heart could pull the stakes out.

That explains how Coral managed to release the Treasures of Ruin. Despite her loud and impulsive behavior, removing the stakes shows that she meets the condition created by the young woman. Coral is stunned when Hokkora effectively calls her kindhearted, and Sidian cannot resist laughing at her reaction.

It is a humorous ending to a serious mystery. The stakes were not simply a test of physical strength: they were designed to respond to a person’s connection with Pokémon. The title Reunion gains deeper meaning because the episode is about ancient bonds as much as the four Pokémon gathering together.

Friede’s Mega Study: What Was Koraidon’s Ancient Name?

In the post-credits Friede’s Mega Study segment with Instructor Starmie, Friede asks what Koraidon was called in old records before receiving its modern name.

The correct answer given in the supplied English subtitles is A: The Winged King. Friede explains that Koraidon spreads the feathers on its head and was said to glide across the sky.

Pokémon Horizons Episode 156 Preview: Tatsugiri, Order Up!

The next-episode preview shifts to Dot, Murdock, and a new Pokémon mystery. Dot is looking for a video idea that could go viral when she notices Tatsugiri in a sushi tub. Murdock jokes that the odd situation may involve a “sushi sense” rather than a sixth sense.

The preview announces the next installment as Pokémon Horizons Episode 156: Tatsugiri, Order Up! The teaser leaves open what is causing the commotion and what kind of adventure Dot will find next.

Why Pokémon Horizons Episode 155 Matters

Episode 153 brought the Treasures of Ruin back into the world, while Episode 154 focused on the danger and their legendary origins. Episode 155 resolves the central mystery by showing how a forgotten act of kindness changed their history.

The four battles also show different sides of the young Trainers: Roy’s determination, Dot’s curiosity, Ult’s resourceful teamwork, and Liko’s desire to understand another Pokémon’s feelings. The appearance of Koraidon and Miraidon turns their struggle into a hopeful ending.

Above all, the episode challenges the idea that the Treasures of Ruin are defined only by the hatred that created them. Their story leaves room for trust, connection, and another chance.
