The official website for the Pokémon XY & Z television anime series announced on December 10 that the anime is getting a two-hour special on December 31. The "Subete no Nazo wo Tokiakase!

The second half of the special will look back at the Pokémon XY & Z series so far and provide a complete explanation of "all the mysteries" in the show, including: the secret that Zygarde hides, the goal of Alain and Team Flare, and the strange phenomenon that only seems to happen to Ash and his Greninja. The second half will also preview what will happen in the future of the series, including Ash vs. Alain, Team Rocket vs. Team Flare, and Serena taking on the Pokémon Showcase (TriPokalon in Japanese).
