Coral carried the first half of this episode. Seriously, as soon as she appeared, it was one great moment after another. I loved Quaxly's reactions to her. She remains the only watchable member of the Explorers. Anyway, I liked the small details when the kids were snacking, like Quaxly being more than happy to share with Tinkatink, meanwhile Wattrel was eyeing Fuecoco's food, prompting him to finish quickly.

The gym battle between Liko and Katy was pretty good. I'm especially happy with the fact that Liko lost. Not gonna lie, I expected her to turn things around and win, but thankfully not. She and Floragato can afford a loss, especially since she still passed her test. I do hope Roy and Dot win their battles though, because they need it way more. I'll give this a 8/10 mainly for Coral.
