Synopsis
(DP145 - DP169)
The ending starts out with a light purple curtain unfolding, then Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, Croagunk point at the right side, and then the left side. All four Pokémon are shown thinking and confused. Buneary and Pikachu point up, Piplup and Croagunk point down. All make a superman pose. Then, all four are shown in a scene with their heads in their corners. Medicham and Meditite meditate and duplicate. Four polygons containing the 4 main Pokémon show and spin. Pikachu walks and does a pose with his hand behind his back. Piplup Spins on one foot then tucks his leg out and puts his hand out. Buneary flips and sways, then pulls both arms out. Croagunk makes an X with his hand and turns it into a || shape and then sways his and behind his leg continuously. All the Sinnoh Poké Balls show under 4 spotlights. The 4 Pokémon hold their arms up. Bubbles appear with different Pokémon in them. Team Rocket is shown fishing while a blue Shellos rises up from the water. Hoothoot puts his foot down and the 4 Pokémon stare at it in wonder. Psyduck is shown and zoomed in with a headache. The Pokémon line up and 2 Pokémon are shown at a time according to the lyrics. Looker's face expands. The Pokémon point in alternating directions. They finish off with 4 arrows (←↑→↓). A random three disappears and the screen goes to the remaining arrow's direction. The direction varies according to the episode.

Trivia

- A version of Which One ~ Is It?, which features a combination of animation and live-action shots, is used as the ending song from DP163.
- From DP170, a new version of this ending was used. The lyrics of the song is of the second half of the full version, but kept the last few lines of the TV version. Some screenshots were changed in order to associate with the lyrics of the song.
