Pokémon Sun & Moon Anime Perfectly Spoofs G Gundam Finale

Megumi Hayashibara.

Last week's episode "Iwa o mo Kudaku Atsuki Heart! Lychee to Takeshi!! (A ionate Heart That Can Smash Even Rock! Olivia and Brock!!) took the references a step further by recreating the finale of mecha that looks both like Meowth and the Dark Gundam.

In order to defeat Team Rocket, Brock and Olivia team-up with a heart-shaped Continental Crush attack straight to the mecha's head. While performing the Z-Move, the pair interlock hands just like Domon and Rain when they use the Erupting Burning Finger Sekiha Love-Love Tenkyoken attack in G-Gundam.

Before Team Rocket's plan completely falls apart, the inside of the mecha is shown. The team's Stufful is shown climbing up a toy Alolan Exeggutor. While not a Gundam reference, it's similar to the Odate Buta gag in Yatterman. The pig appears out of the control whenever Doronjo compliments Boyacky.

This isn't the first time G-Gundam has made its way into an episode of Pokémon Sun & Moon. The "Alola, Kanto!" episode, also featuring Brock and Misty, included Meowth piloting a mecha. The controls inside of the robot were similar to those seen in G-Gundam.
