Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!! (Japanese: ひらめきゲット！Let's ポケなぞ！！ Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!) is a segment in the anime's new series beginning in SS003, replacing the Poké Problem segment of the Sun & Moon series.

- The Froakie costume worn by Matsumaru is a pun on his name and Froakie's Japanese name, ケロマツ Keromatsu.
- The first airings of episodes with promotions, one-hour specials, and episodes that are being shown during the promotion of the movie specials do not include this segment for that episode. However, these segments were included in airings on other stations that aired the episode in delay, reruns on cable networks such as Kids Station, and VOD services (such as GYAO!).
