Liko's new Pokémon is in a class all its own.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: Spoilers for Pokémon Horizons Episode #23The latest episode of Pokémon Horizons ended with a surprise, as Liko and Roy managed to talk down Galarian Moltres, returning it to its Ancient Poké Ball... and leaving the Legendary Pokémon in the kids' possession, a feat Ash never managed.
Galarian Moltres marks the third Ancient Poké Ball that the team has found, with the first belonging to the shiny Black Rayquaza, and the second belonging to the Titan Arboliva. While Liko was entrusted with Arboliva and its Poké Ball, Rayquaza fled as soon as it was released, leaving Roy with an empty ball that once contained Rayquaza, and could presumably recall it should they encounter it again.
Liko's Galarian Moltres Makes Ash's Pokémon Look Weak Despite being in possession of the Ancient Adventurer Lucius's Pokémon, Liko isn't able to just use their power freely at any time. Arboliva, for example, was called upon once, but not to fight, and here, it summoned itself from its Poké Ball in order to confront Galarian Moltres.
Still, just 23 episodes in, Liko is now in possession of a Legendary Pokémon. Despite having grown close to several Legendaries, and even having commanded a few in battle, Ash Ketchum never actually managed to catch himself a Legendary Pokémon. Ash did have the Mythical Pokémon Meltan/Melmetal, but not a Legendary. Ash's companion Goh did catch a Suicune at one point, though, so it's not entirely unprecedented in the anime for a major character to own a Legendary.
Commanding Galarian Moltres in battle might be a bit above Liko's capacity at the moment, but no doubt the day will come when Liko and Roy are able to use these Ancient Poké Balls in battle. Very few anime characters have had a Legendary Pokémon at their disposal, so Liko is already in a very elite club, even if she doesn't have its full loyalty yet.
