The Pokemon Company has published a new official short animation video in honor of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The video’s title is “Multiple Pokemon and the Autumn Moon,” and the China-based Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced this work.
This animation combines features from the Pokemon franchise with activities related to the actual festival, which is primarily marked by the month’s full moon. It features multiple Clefairies dancing to the full moon, which has been a tradition shown in the franchise’s entries, including the 2022 Switch game Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
The video also features the Autumn forms of Deerling and its evolution Sawsbuck, as well as night-themed Pokemon like Eevee’s nighttime evolution Umbreon. It concludes with Lunala, the moon-themed legendary Pokemon that also served as the mascot of the seventh-generation entry Pokemon Moon, appearing in front of the full moon.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a harvest festival celebrated in China and other cultures across East and Southeast Asia. While the festival is celebrated the most by Chinese cultures, people in Japan also celebrate the day by holding Tsukimi (moon-viewing) parties. The 2024 Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 17, 2024, which is also the date the Pokemon Company published this video.
