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.

Synopsis

The screen of the Pokédex displays scenes from several of Ash's adventures as he reminisces about his life before becoming a Pokémon Trainer. He then reaffirms his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. The song ends with a picture of Ash and Pikachu on the screen of the Pokédex.

Excluding Ash and his Pikachu, all other characters only appear on the Pokédex.

マサラタウンに サヨナラしてから
どれだけのじかん たっただろう
すりきずきりきず なかまのかず
それはちょっと じまんかな

あのころすっごく はやっていたから
かいにはしった このスニーカーも
いまでは せかいじゅう
さがしてもみつからない
さいこうの ボロボロぐつさ!

いつのまにか タイプ:ワイルド!
すこしずつだけど タイプ:ワイルド!
もっともっと タイプ:ワイルド!
つよくなるよ タイプ:ワイルド!

そして いつか こういうよ
"ハロー マイドリーム"
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"

Even though this trip has no need for
Suitcases, souvenir photos, or even guidebooks
But with the warmth of everyone I meet
I would surely carry it all the way back home

Even though I would somehow be bound
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

Let's go!

Remembering the days
I trained hard and I played
In our Pallet Town.
Feeling so proud of the friends 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 Master 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.
