I guess my next question is which Pokémon is the grouchiest one? 

 

 

Going by facial expression, I'd definitely say Snubull.

For what it is worth, I have seen Edagawa oyakata attend a 5* raid outside the kokugikan, we also know of Daieisho & Kaisei (assuming they still play).

No one pointed out Darumaka or Darmanitan?

I'm having to Google so many Pokémon, it feels like when I started watching sumo and had to look everything up all time.

I know next to nothing about Pokémon, but I suppose if Shikimori Inosuke were made to wear a Pikachu suit it wouldn't affect his skills much, since he seems to not see well and falls off the dohyo all on his own.

He'd be well protected at least.

They should also outfit the ring side judges to protect them from becoming bowling pins. And a special Pokemon Day goodie for the ringside audience coming in costume.

I think Gigantamax Pikachu looks more like a sumo wrestler than regular Pikachu (speaking as a long time fan of Pokémon)

The Chiyomaru is strong with that one.

36 Pokemon kensho will be parading on day 15, the game ones  http://hochi.news/articles/20211112-OHT1T51202.html

There also will be a Pokemon fan booth the whole basho, with a Pikachu sun visor and more as presents for kids who come to the basho, Pikachu will likely be there as well, like at the wampaku tournament.

Holy Moley, hasn't anyone done a "match the rikishi to the pokemon" thread yet?

Psyduck = Shodai

Jigglypuff = Takakeisho

Gengar = Meisei

Tyranitar = Terunofuji

Ho-oh = Hoshoryu

Squirtle = Mitakeumi

Charmander = Endo

They realized the popularity potential and changed plans, not just day 15 and not just the game kensho

It gets tedious to post this in 2 threads

The 2 Pokemon kensho were the last of the day.

On schedule and announced, but the NSK video shows that the yobidashi mixed it up and others came after it

From Pokemon Kids TV

Just so we're clear in case we see Pokemon in Ozumo, Static Electricity is hansoku, right?

Never mind the hansoku, I don't see how Pikachu is ever getting a legal tachi ai off with that body.

Who has a better chance to get "both hands down" -- Pikachu or Takakeisho?

I had forgotten ... the "hand flick" gesture he used to get a couple of fingers down before the tachi-ai.

Still waiting for Ichinojo in Snorlax costume. How can they miss the opportunity?
