Ash, Pikachu, and their friends come to a desert city by the sea. Here they meet the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, which has the ability to summon things—including people and Pokémon—through its magic rings. After a scary incident, they learn of a story about a brave hero who stopped the rampage of a terrifying Pokémon long ago. Now, the threat that has been bottled up for years is in danger of breaking loose again.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hoopa's based on Arabian djinn folklore, making this one of the few Pokémon films rooted in non-Japanese mythology.
This was the first movie to feature Primal forms AND Mega evolutions simultaneously — basically Pokémon power-creep: the film.
