When Cartoon Network USA aired of Pokémon the Movie Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction on November 8th, 2014, about five minutes' worth of footage was cut to make the movie short enough to air in the allotted time slot. This page documents those cuts.

It is assumed that this removed footage will be restored for the DVD release.

Cut - 5 seconds
This five-second shot of Yveltal flying through the sky after using its Death Wing attack on Marilyn's Mafoxy and Megayanma is missing from the TV version.

Cut - 3 seconds
This shot of Nidangiru getting stoned (ha!) didn't air on American TV.


"Giru...gi..."

Cut - 5 seconds
After Marilyn and Riot are "killed' there's a shot of the forest continuing to wilt followed by another shot of Yveltal flying. That flying shot is removed from the TV broadcast.

Cut - 2 seconds
This shot of Diancie calling out Majima's name after he gets hit by Yveltal's attack is cut.


"Majima!" "Pika!"

Cut - 8 seconds
The arrival of the Steel family's airship and Satoshi's reaction to it all hit the cutting room floor.

Cut - 6 seconds
The airship actually falling into the water and our heroes' reactions weren't shown on TV.
