Kikuno

Kikuno, a member of the Four Heavenly Kings and a Trainer of Ground-type Pokémon, will debut in the 170th episode, along with her Kabarudon. Satoshi challenges her to a battle with his newly evolved Dodaitose, another Ground-type Pokémon. Kikuno is the last of the Four Heavenly Kings of Shin'ō to appear in the anime, similarly to speculated relative Kikuko of Kanto's Four Heavenly Kings. The second part of one-hour special will feature Togekiss known as the "Princess of Pokémon Contests." It is hinted in the opening The Greatest - Everyday! that Hikari will capture this Pokémon.
