The latest episode of the Pokemon anime has recently aired in Japan, and features a rather surprising cameo from one of the series’ Legendary Pokemon.

As the appearance of this Pokemon in the anime could be considered a spoiler, we will only go into the details after the spoiler image below:

The Legendary Pokemon in question is none other than Eternatus, the third Legendary of Pokemon Sword And Shield. While travelling to the Galar Region by plane, Ash and Go caught a glimpse of Eternatus flying amidst  the clouds:

The fact that Eternatus appears in the anime before box legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta might come as a surprise to most. However, if the Pokemon anime is taking cues from Pokemon Sword And Shield‘s main story, then the absence of the two legendary wolves makes a lot of sense. We will just have to see what the anime team has in store for us moving forward!
