Tom Holland | Awkwafina | Ken Watanabe | Millie Bobby Brown

In a world where Pokémon and humans coexist in delicate harmony, a series of mysterious disappearances threatens to unravel the balance. Young trainer Ethan (Tom Holland) sets out on a journey that will take him through neon-lit megacities, crystal lakes dotted with Lapras, and forests where Bulbasaur eyes glimmer in the moonlight. Every step brings him closer to a truth that could change the Pokémon world forever.

Holland’s Ethan is instantly likable — earnest, curious, and quietly courageous. Awkwafina provides sharp comedic relief without undercutting emotional stakes, while Ken Watanabe anchors the film with gravitas as a retired trainer who knows more than he admits. Millie Bobby Brown’s mysterious wanderer keeps the plot tinged with intrigue.

The visual effects are stunning, bringing Pokémon to life with tactile realism — fur that moves with the wind, scales that shimmer under sunlight, eyes that seem to truly look back at you. The battles blend kinetic spectacle with emotional storytelling, showing the deep bonds between trainers and their partners. The film is a love letter to the franchise and a gateway for new fans, filled with wonder, adventure, and heart.
