The eighteenth season of the long running Pokémon animated series is known as Pocket Monsters: XY (ポケットモンスターエックスワイ, Poketto Monsutā Ekkusu Wai) in Japan and internationally as Pokémon: XY (advertised as Pokémon The Series XY). Well into their journey through the Kalos Region, Ash Ketchum and his friends continue seeking out the Pokémon gyms for his ambition to enter the Kalos League. At the same time, Serena begins her goal of becoming a full-fledged Pokémon Performer.

The season premiered in Japan on November 13, 2014 on TV Tokyo. The season later made its premiere in the United States on February 7, 2015 on Cartoon Network.

The Japanese version features four pieces of theme music. The first block of six episodes used the song "Mega (Volt)" (メガV（ボルト）, Megaboruto) by Yusuke for the opening and continues with "DreamDream" (ドリドリ, DoriDori) performed by Shoko Nakagawa for the next nineteen episodes. Starting with the seventh episode of the season, the opening theme changed to "Mad-Paced Getter" (ゲッタバンバン, Getta Banban) performed by Tomohisa Sako and the ending theme changed to "Roaring All-Stars" (ガオガオ・オールスター, Gaogao Ōrusutā) by Little Glee Monster from the twentieth episode onwards. For the international English language broadcasts, the theme song is "Be a Hero".
