Like its predecessors, it is preceded by a short film. This is both the first Pokémon film to premiere in an IMAX theater and the first Pokémon film related to the anime that has been released internationally by Warner Bros. since Pokémon 3: The Movie.

The film received universal acclaim from critics for its animation, themes, voice acting, humor and action sequences. Many reviewers considered it superior to its predecessors, as well as the best film in the Pokémon franchise. It was also a commercial success, outgrossing each of the previous Pokémon films in the series, and became the highest-grossing film of 2022.
