Type: Wild

----
Type: Wild (Japanese: タイプ：ワイルド lit. Taipu: Wairudo) is the fifth Japanese ending theme of the original series. It debuted in EP069, replacing Pokémon Ondo. It was used until EP105, when it was replaced by Riding on Lapras. A newly arranged version sung by Shōko Nakagawa replaced Notebook of the Heart as the fourth and final Japanese ending theme of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon in SM129. The original version returned as the seventh and final Japanese ending theme of Pokémon Journeys: The Series, being used only in JN147. 
An English-language version of the song was also produced for Pocket Monsters Encore, which was sung by Robbie Danzie and translated by Donessa Perry.

| <ab>Since I've said good-bye to Pallet Town
I guess a bit of time has passed
As with the number of scrapes, cuts, and friends I've got
They all give me a sense of pride
Since they were all the rage that time
I had ran off to buy these sneakers
But now, they can't even be found
Anywhere else in the world
They're the best pair of worn out shoes!
Before you know it, Type: Wild!
Little by little, Type: Wild!
More and more, Type: Wild!
Gonna be strong, Type: Wild!
And someday I will say
"Hello to my dreams"</ab>

To think back to some painful thoughts
But before I even know it, all of my stuff
Had fallen out of the hole on my backpack

| <ab>Let's go!
Remembering the days
I trained hard and I played
In our Pallet Town.
Feeling so proud of the that I made
Knowing our goals are the same.
The sneakers that I wear,
The coolest of all pair,
Take me everywhere.
You'll only find them in Pallet Town,
Worn out but the best you will find.
They help me get through
My journeys time after time.
Oh, yeah!
And before you know it, Type: Wild!
Gonna reach my goal, Type: Wild!
Keep on going, Type: Wild!
Gonna be strong, Type: Wild!
Yeah! Oh yeah! Pallet Town! Oh yeah!
Traveling by day,
Competing along the way,
Is my history.
No guides, no maps to tell me where I'm going,
My heart just leads the way.
Friends I made while traveling
Help me to keep going.
A is what I'm gonna be.
I'm getting there, but not easily.
But I can't stop
Trying to be what I wanna be.
And before you know it, Type: Wild!
Gonna reach my goal, Type: Wild!
Keep on going, Type: Wild!
Gonna be strong, Type: Wild!
And before you know it, Type: Wild!
Gonna reach my goal, Type: Wild!
I'm gonna keep on going, Type: Wild!
Gonna be strong, Type: Wild!
For I know, this will be reality
So follow all your dreams.</ab>
