Tebrim learning Healing Wish as a move is so interesting in regards to Liko's duality as a character, especially when it comes to her empathy/kindness and ruthlessness in battles?

Healing Wish is a move that causes the user to faint and in return, the Pokemon taking its place will have its HP restored and cured of any status condition. In this episode, it was used to highlight Liko and Tebrim's desires to reach out to Rafflesia, not hurt the Pokemon anymore as it was clearly in pain due to the Rakurium to the point it hurt its own friends. The situation highlighted Liko and Tebrim's empathy and care for others' feelings, and this move illustrates their tendancy to put others above themselves, and their self-sacrificial nature.

The other side of the coin of Healing Wish is that it has a ruthless aspect to it. Going forward, if Liko and Tebrim are willing to use this move for any reason or situation that would call for it, Liko would know that it is a move that would cause Tebrim to faint so another Pokemon can regain full health. Which would highlight her willingness to make sacrifices to reach her desired ends.

Damaging yourself to heal someone else. Truly a compelling move in terms of implications.
