Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction

Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction (2014) is available to watch online on iFILM — a 76-minute Japanese animated adventure directed by Kunihiko Yuyama, the seventeenth theatrical Pokémon film and the first tied to the X and Y game generation.

Deep underground in the Diamond Domain, the Mythical Pokémon Diancie rules over a colony of Carbink. The Heart Diamond — the crystal that keeps the domain alive — is crumbling, and Diancie alone cannot forge a new one. She sets out to find Xerneas, the Legendary Pokémon of life, while a gang of jewel thieves chases her across the surface world. Ash and Pikachu cross her path. Then the cocoon cracks open, and Yveltal — the Legendary of destruction — stirs from its long sleep.

The film frames its stakes as a straight clash between life and ruin, and it earns the scale with some genuinely striking imagery around Yveltal's awakening. Good entry point for younger audiences and a satisfying watch for fans of the XY games. Stream Pokémon: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction online on iFILM.
