What is the title of Ash Ketchum’s final regular Pokémon TV episode?

Ash Ketchum’s final regular Pokémon TV episode is titled “The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!”

The episode is the 11th and final installment of the special series Pokémon: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master. It aired in Japan on March 24, 2023, concluding Ash and Pikachu’s long-running central storyline after Ash became the world champion in Pokémon Journeys.

The story reunites Ash with familiar elements from his travels and presents a reflective journey rather than another formal League tournament. It also brings back Misty and Brock, two of Ash’s earliest traveling companions.

The episode marked the end of Ash’s role as the main protagonist of the continuing series, not the end of the Pokémon anime itself. Pokémon Horizons: The Series introduced new central characters, Liko and Roy, later in 2023. This distinction is why the episode is often described as Ash’s finale rather than the franchise’s finale.
