This series is inspired by the popular video games Pokémon Sword and Shield. However, it's not part of the main television show.

It was called "The Gathering of Stars" (EXPANSION ~星の祭~). This episode was based on extra content for the Pokémon Sword and Shield games. This content included The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra.
