In a forgotten Pokemon contest, Silvally probably conned out in at LEAST the top 3… but Frank still loves this cute little chimera! Joachim though… can he learn to love it?

Everyone loves Heliolisk! He’s one of the most memorable Pokemon from the 3D Pokemon era! Right…? Well, even if he’s not the most memorable, he still holds a special place in our hosts hearts! But not Helioptile. He’s weird.

We’ve been looking forward to talking about one of the creepiest Pokemon ever conceived for a long time! Cofagrigus is as cool as his name is controversial (apparently) and the newer addition to this line, Runerigus, is absolutely a welcome, if not needlessly complex, addition to the family!

We started this episode with one host having low-neutral feelings on this Pokemon and the other host absolutely despising it. By the end, do we come around on Slurpuff and its sticky, candy hair? Or do we double down on our feelings of disgust?

Would ya look at that! It’s everyone’s favorite “Can’t seem to get a mega evolution” Pokemon! Flygon is absolutely a top-five Dragon Type Pokémon! Peak design, lore, and halfway-decent stats! … BUT WHY CAN’T IT JUST GET A MEGA?!

Alola! Comfey is an often forgotten Pokemon, but it’s very important in the world building of Alola! Watch as one of our hosts opinions on this Pokémon’s standing as “Dex Filler” changes before your very eyes - or, ears, rather.

We’ve reached another starter Pokemon - and it’s our first Sinnoh Starter! Empoleon is imposing, regal, and narcissistic. Basically he has a Napoleon comple-HEY WAIT A MINUTE!

Did somebody say CYNTHIA?! Garchomp is an amazing Pokemon in its own right, but being connected to such an iconic trainer only boosts its cool factor! But does it break one of Pokémon’s biggest design rules…?

We’ve hit the KICKEN CHICKEN! Everybody and their grandmothers love Blaziken! And with this guy, we’ve finally discussed all three Hoenn Starters lines!

What an iconic line of Pokemon! From incredible cries to eye-queries, Magnezone is a beacon of discovery waiting to be drawn to you like some sort of… magnetic thing.

DITTO?! In the height of Pokopia?! We didn’t do this on purpose y’all, we actually rolled this wonderful pile of goo! But when all a Pokemon can do is become other Pokemon… will we even have enough we can say about it?

If there’s ever been a fan-favorite… Gengar is it! Another classic Gen 1 orb-boy, even Joachim and Frank (who’re super hard on Kanto) can’t resist this goofy ghost!

Yeahhh we usually always use the final evolution as the episode title, but because our GUEST HOST, KATRINA loves Sprigatito, we decided to use the little kitty instead! Trust me, we’ll see more than enough of Mewoscarada by the end of the episode… Katrina also drew the Sprigatito in the thumbnail btw 😁

Did y’all know this bell can summon the rain?! Bronzong is definitely one of the strangest looking Pokemon out there, but is this little freak saved by an impressive move-set and great stats?? …Perhaps…

That’s right, we used the FEMALE Hippowdon as the image for this thumbnail cause here at Certified Poke-Moments HQ, we RESPECT women! Happy Woman’s Month! … anyway this dirt hippo’s pretty neat.

This has gotta be the most awesome boring bird of all time - yes, we mean that with the utmost love and respect! Despite its simple design and overdone typing and mid stats and desaturated shiny and…. Well… we still love this bird!

We’ve rolled a big scary creature today, one of humanities greatest fears: A GIANT SNAKE! Seviper is arguably the coolest snake Pokémon… unless you’re a Zangoose fan!

Morpeko sucks, but that’s not the important part: this is a very special episode recorded back in 2024 that we never thought we’d release… I’ll admit, it’s even better to watch this one on YouTube!

Meowstic is one of those Pokémon that people always forget about; I mean come on, did YOU remember this French cat?! But with this new Mega Evolution, Meowstic just got a whole lot more memorable!

Easily the BEST object-mon we’ve ever been given! Both our hosts adore this awesome fire and ghost type; and with its new Mega Evolution? Mmmm, this boy is POWERFUL!

Look out, big man’s on campus! Heatran was already an awesome beast that was totally underrated… but after receiving a mega evolution??? This dude just got even CRAZIER!! Talk about body horror!

That’s a SPICY pepper, friends! Scovillain is the very definition of a Pokemon whe needs MORE! Thank God he got a mega evolution… but is it enough?

Is Crabominable the ugliest Pokemon known to man? Maybe. But does that make him suck? ABSOLUTELY NOT! This guys string and, though ugly, super cool - especially with that new mega!

What a little cutie!!! Chimecho just makes the vibes immaculate! One of the best world-building Pokemon and one both hosts love!

This here’s a BIG wriggly lad! But is it as big as we expect it to be? And this episode is the return of the great Eel Discussion!
