** Finally, Eri was the one who designed the training regimen that Team Star went through to get stronger. It worked so well, the only trainers who outlevel her are: Geeta (the Top Champion of Paldea), Nemona (an established Champion rank trainer in her own right), Penny (the Big Boss of the team), Arven (who spent the whole game hunting ''Titan Pokemon'' as part of his goals), Clavell (the literal headmaster of Uva and Naranja academy), the Gym Leaders during their rematches, and the AI Professors (who literally come packing an entire team of ancient/futuristic super-Pokemon)!

* The true final boss fight begins with the Paradise Protection Protocol locking down all Poké Balls except for ones belonging to Professor Sada/Turo. This prompts you to send out Koraidon/Miraidon for the first time, who proceeds to push through its fear of its berserk counterpart for your sake. A fight ensues, with you using Koraidon's/Miraidon's extremely powerful attacks to chip away at its counterpart, while the cheers of your friends boost its power. Eventually, it withstands a Giga Impact/Hyper Beam through ThePowerOfFriendship (in the same way that Pokemon you've bonded with can in other battles) or a well-timed Endure, and you're prompted to Terastalize it. The final hit is a powered-up Tera Blast using the Dragon type, striking down the berserk Koraidon/Miraidon with a super-effective hit.

** Ogerpon's human partner was apparently a BadassNormal - a humble human mask-maker who was able to hold off ''multiple Legendary Pokemon'' in a fight. He likely died, but he still managed to prevent them from taking the Teal Mask.

* While [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome you never get to see him doing as he says]], Snacksworth turns out to have been quite a badass in his prime based on his stories. He's personally met the large majority of Legendary Pokemon throughout the franchise, even having friendly interactions with a handful of them. He also casually mentions doing a lot of mountain climbing and [[FrigidWaterIsHarmless swimming through the frigid water near Glaseado Mountain]]. Most notably, however, is his story about Necrozma, where he was interrupted by it while standing in a waterfall and somehow ''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu roared loud enough to scare off the devourer of light]]''.

* At the lowest point of Area Zero, the heroes find Terapagos, but Kieran catches it with a Master Ball when it looks like it's going to try to befriend the player character first. However, when it's sent out to battle, it's performance is underwhelming, even in Terastal Form, until Briar tells Kieran to Terastallize it, revealing the true Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, Terapagos Stellar Form. It's so powerful, that it's able to ''break its Master Ball'' when Kieran tries to call it back.

* Let's hear it for the Pokemon Center Nurse -- aside from Kieran, she's the only Kitakami local who avoids being brainwashed and [[SarcasticDevotee continues to dutifully do her job]], even concernedly telling us to heal up any time we need to because of how weird things have been getting.

** In Nemona's fight, she suddenly has a Jangmo-o and Milotic/Dusknoir/Ribombee on her team that are on par with the other four Pokémon she'd been using all through the main game. This means she somehow managed to catch and train two new Pokémon (as these are all native to Kitakami but ''not'' Paldea) within the space of ''a day'', at most. Nemona really is a talented trainer.

* Should the player send out Ogerpon against Pecharunt, [[DevelopersForesight she will actually respond in outrage against the Subjugation Pokémon]]. Given that it and the Loyal Three are responsible for the demise of its first partner, it can be ''incredibly'' satisfying for Ogerpon to be the one to take it down, ''finally'' being able to avenge its friend after what is possibly a ''century''.

* After 27 years, Primeape finally gets an evolution, and it is a monster both in story and competitively. With a base stat total of 535 and amazing stat distribution, Annihilape is a LightningBruiser with the nearly perfect STAB offensive type of Fighting/Ghost and a signature move that grows more powerful the more it gets hit. It is the Pokémon equivalent of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]] and should be treated with just as much dread. It got to the point that it was among the first wave of bans from singles competitive play, not even a month after the games' release.
** Even more awesome, Annihilape has proven to be so overwhelming competitively that even with the 'Teal Mask' and 'Indigo Disc' DLC and all it's power creep were not enough to make Annihilape feasible in OU, and the consensus of Smogon is that it stays banned, due to being too powerful, versatile and overwhelming to deal with, even with moves that seem practically designed to deal with it.
-->'''YNM''': "I don't care if GF releases a move called "Anti-Annihilape Counterattack" and gives it to every single mon in the Dex, we're still not unbanning Annihilape, fuck that mon"

* In the interim between ''The Teal Mask'' and ''The Indigo Disk'', Kieran TookALevelInBadass and has become the strongest trainer at Blueberry Academy dethroning Drayton as its champion. Too bad it came at the cost of his own mental wellbeing, and has become a horrible bully to everyone around him.
** You eventually get to fight Kieran, who sports a powerful and high-leveled team with competitive strategies, and you ''defeat him anyway.'' While the watching students' reaction to his defeat is one of casual disappointment, it must have been incredibly cathartic from their perspective; someone ''finally'' manages to put this irritating bully who's been menacing just about everyone who interacts with him in his place.
