Ep. 73: Ash and Goh help a depressed Falinks leader regain confidence while battling Eiscue
Ash and Goh return to the Galar region, where an Eiscue drifts from a distant glacier. During their research, Goh catches a Galarian Stunfisk. They soon witness Falinks attacking a wild Boldore. Grookey provokes the Falinks, leading to a clash with Ash, Goh, Pikachu, and Grookey. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to stop the attack. The group finds the injured Falinks, whose leader is depressed about failing to lead. The other Falinks begin following Pikachu. Goh trains the leader to guide its group using his Pokémon. The groups reunite, and the leader switches places with Pikachu. The Falinks then encounter Eiscue and challenge it to battle. Eiscue attacks with Icicle Spear, but the Falinks dodge and headbutt its ice, causing it to break. Eiscue flees to repair its ice. The victorious Falinks allow Goh to catch them. The episode concludes with Eiscue returning to its home glacier.
