Satoshi and the others have gathered at Lilie's house for Z-Move training when Lilie introduces them all to the mythical Pokémon Magearna, which for some reason isn't moving.

Go figure Lillie gets Magearna working just before the League.

Let me guess...she'll master Subzero Slammer here, won't she?

All that's missing is the cherry on top of Snowy evolving and learning a new move...

Who says that that’s not also happening?

 

[BigDocFan]

Curious to see what happens with Mohn and Magearna

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Why even mention Gladion in the title if Lillie's hogging all the focus?

We don't know that.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

We don't know that.

Both the current subplots for this episode revolve around her though: Magearna was Lillie's subplot and she’s the one who needs to train for Z-Move.
I hope we get lots of Gladion focus though, but SM writers don’t seem to share my hopes and wishes.

I'm not expecting Lilie to accomplish anything in this episode. "Z-move training" is just an excuse to bring others to her home, and Mageana probably has something with their father's disappearance.

I don't think it does. They weren't even at the same place when Mohn disappeared.

We know that Magearna lacks a soul-heart, yet there is something inside of it. Mohn's spirit might be transfered into it, or Mohn's Zoroark might be hiding inside of it.

I actually think that the Soul-Heart could still be there, just underpowered.

It is going to be ignited by love, isn't it?

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

It is going to be ignited by love, isn't it?

Not necessarily. I think it just needs general life force to work.

Since the league's starting the next episode, I fully expect Lillie performing subzero slammer in this one.
And the energy from the Z-Move might even do something to activate Magearna.

Z-moves solve so many problems in this season I won’t be surprised if someone uses one for laundry.

I'm pretty sure Lana's going to use Oceanic Operetta to put herself inside a bubble...
Corkscrew crash would’ve been used to open a bottle of wine if the series was not for 10 year olds...

The previous post was something I don’t want to happen, but I expect to happen, knowing the writers.
Lillie's going to master the Z-move in this episode, and it’s not entirely implausible for this series.

 

[Daenerys]

So Lillie tried fixing Magearna and failed? I was hoping she'd succeed, but I get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that Magearna will be fixed by Mohn if he shows up in this episode.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

Lillie already mastered her Z-Move offscreen during SM123, so I'm expecting she'll Friendship ex Machina Megearna into working order in time for the League and know how to use it in battle

siiiiiiiiiiiigh

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Has Magearna even been mentioned since it was found?

If not, this really feels like one of those “oh yeah, we still gotta wrap that up too” moments

Not necessarily. Training off-screen does not necessarily equal off-screen move perfection.
