The Rising Volt Tacklers have one more Season 3 stretch ahead. Pokémon Horizons: Season 3 — Rising Hope returns to Netflix on September 18 with Part 4. The official Pokémon channel calls this the final batch of Season 3 episodes, while Netflix describes a new race to stop the Explorers.

Netflix’s September schedule lists the release on Friday, September 18. The listing does not give an exact local launch hour, and this date refers to Netflix’s Part 4 release, not a new season starting from episode one.

What is Part 4 about?

Liko, Roy, Dot and Ult have been investigating a strange pink mist that harms Pokémon. The new batch brings the Rising Volt Tacklers into another confrontation with the Explorers. Netflix says the enemy’s plan could change the future of the bonds between Pokémon and Trainers.

That makes this more than a routine stop on the road. The heroes have spent Rising Hope rebuilding trust, getting stronger and learning what the mystery means for their partners. Part 4 is being positioned as the conclusion of that season-long conflict, though the official synopsis does not spell out who wins or what follows.

Where can you watch and what should you catch up on?

Netflix is the announced home for the September 18 batch in its U.S. schedule. Its show page already groups trailers by Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4, alongside a recap of Season 3. If you have missed an earlier batch, the recap is a quick refresher before starting the new episodes.

A year after the events at Laqua, Liko and Roy are joined by Dot and Ult as the team follows the mist across the regions. Knowing that setup will help more than hunting for a single isolated “new season” button: this is the fourth part of Rising Hope. Netflix’s listing and the Pokémon announcement do not specify a dub rollout separate from the September release.

Is this the end of Pokémon Horizons?

It is the final batch of Season 3, according to The Official Pokémon YouTube channel. That is not the same as an announcement that the entire Horizons series is ending. Netflix has announced the date and premise for Part 4, but not a further U.S. streaming schedule in the materials checked here.

The official show page describes the cast and tone as a friendship-led adventure. Part 4 keeps that focus even as the Explorers’ latest scheme raises the stakes for all the Pokémon and Trainers caught in it.
