Where to watch · US · June 2026
Where can I watch the Pokémon anime?
The short answer: Netflix is the main home for current Pokémon, including the active series, Pokémon Horizons. It carries Horizons, all of Journeys, Sun & Moon, and XY / XYZ. For the classic Ash and Pikachu eras for free, the official Pokémon YouTube channel drip-feeds full episodes daily. Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Disney+ fill in specific eras, and you can buy seasons outright to own them. No single service has everything, so most fans mix two or three.
Pokémon Horizons: The Series: Rising Hope Part 3 hits Netflix June 26, 2026
The next batch of Horizons episodes lands on Netflix in the US on June 26, 2026. Liko, Roy, and the Rising Volt Tacklers know they need to train harder to take down the Explorers and stop the spread of Laquium for good. Training becomes the priority at Blueberry Academy, where Elite Four members are eager for their next battle, while the crew investigates how Terapagos and Laquium connect. If you are caught up on the earlier Rising Hope parts, this is the one to watch for.
