Episodes

Falinks 31.12.2025

Franks usually a beacon of optimism and whimsy in this podcast… but not today. Both of the hosts dislike this Pokemon, but Frank is gonna RANT in this one!

Delibird 24.12.2025

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas everyone! Today we talk about the most Christmas-y Pokemon ever: Delibird! This Pokémon is so coo- WAIT IT’S STATS ARE HOW LOW?!

The Exploud Line - Episode 100! 17.12.2025

We’ve hit the 100th episode! Wow, how time flys! And what better Pokemon to talk about than our very own mascot: Exploud! Our favorite loud-boy is unfortunately pretty under appreciated… but that just means there’s lots to learn!

The Scolipede Line 10.12.2025

YEEESSSSSS!!! Scolipede is not only the Coolest Bug-Type Pokemon EVER, but one of Gamefreaks best designed Pokemon in general! And with its new Mega??? Good lord... absolutely PEAK!

The Annihilape Line 03.12.2025

Mankey? Boring. Primeape? Stupid. Annihilape…? Uh… hello… BASED DEPARTMENT?! What an improvement to a line of Pokémon that’s sucked since the first generation!

Kecleon 26.11.2025

Little tip: do NOT steal from this Pokémon! Despite its Mystery Dungeon appearance, ever since Gen 3 ended, Kecleon seems to have been forgotten by society! Let’s jog ya’lls memory!

The Dachsbun Line 19.11.2025

Who’s a good boy, who’s a good boy???? Dachsbun is actually peak dog Pokémon! But Fidough…? Well, we’ll see…

The Solgaleo/Lunala Line 12.11.2025

Woooooow, some of the few legendary Pokémon that actually evolve! Solgaleo and Lunala are some of the most unique box-art Legends! Solgaleo gets done dirty later on in the episode though…. You’ll see…

The Honchkrow Line 05.11.2025

Da Big Boss! Will Frank and Joachim discover some of his mob secrets or will they instead be disappointed by his defensive stats…?

Minior 29.10.2025

WE FINALLY ROLLED MINIOR!!! One of the greatest Shinies ever and Franks favorite Pokemon! And just in time for the first ever FILMED episode! If you’re listening on Spotify or Apple Podcast - first of all, thank you - but make sure you check out Certified Poke-Moments on YouTube to SEE the shenanigans!

The Huntail/Gorebyss Line 22.10.2025

Woah, now these are a couple of Pokemon you don't see very often! Seriously... you'd be hard-pressed to find a trainer in HOENN ITSELF who uses either one...

The Skeledirge Line 15.10.2025

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh boyyyyyyy - what a cool starter! Skeledrige was Frank's first choice in Paldea... and the one Joachim WISHES he went with!

The Farigiraf Line 08.10.2025

What a fun Pokemon! Everyone was just waiting for Girafarig to get an evolution and in gen 9 it finally happened! And as it turns out... Farigiraf is actually a GREAT Pokemon!

Spinda 01.10.2025

This is by far the most chaotic episode yet! In honor of Spinda, Frank and Joachim podcast DRUNK! And somehow... this ends up being our longest episode yet!? Listener discretion is definitely advised!

The Dodrio Line 24.09.2025

Oh boy, another uninteresting gen 1 bird... sorry if you like this guy, but we ain't gonna be so kind! I mean come on, it's just another example of generation 1 Pokemon being "the same, but THREE this time!"... This will also be our first ever EXPLICIT episode, so take that into consideration when continuing forward! Though... things really won't change much!

The Dusknoir Line 17.09.2025

BIG SPOOKY GHOST! Dusknoir feels like the premier Ghost-type Pokemon! And the dex entries for this guy get surprisingly dark... without the gen 7 games even being available!

The Lilligant Line 10.09.2025

Ohhhhhh mama.... it's sexy plant time! It's been a while since we had a Pokemon Joachim absolutely adores, so this is bound to be a good one!

Miltank 03.09.2025

Wow, we never would've expected a Pokemon with no evolution to get an episode THIS long! But hey, that's Miltank for ya! It ended up being a VERY interesting Pokemon! And the Rant helped too...

The Braviary Line 27.08.2025

This is TOTALLY the first time we've talked about Braviary... there's no lost audio or anything... uh, anyway, this guys pretty cool.

Yveltal 20.08.2025

The ultimate destroyer of life... is a stripey bird...? Nah, just joking! Yveltal is sick! We can definitely appreciate this badass design for one of Kalos's coolest Pokemon!

The Golisopod Line 13.08.2025

YESSSSS! Golisopod ROCKS! We're stoked that this awesome bug type finally gets his time in the spotlight - cause Gamefreak sure doesn't pay enough attention to this legend...

The Starmie Line 06.08.2025

You know, for being a Gen 1 Pokemon... the two of us really like Starmie! This unique little star is quite the... well, star.

The Krookodile Line 30.07.2025

Krookodile is one of those gen 5 Pokemon NOBODY can hate! It's got style, charisma, and delicious meat! ... I said what I said.

The Magcargo Line 23.07.2025

Careful ya'll this Pokemons hotter than the sun! Magcargo needs more love and it's up to us to give it to him!

The Eevee Line 16.07.2025

Ladies and gentlemen we've finally made it! The day we all knew had to come eventually has finally arrived: The Eeveelutions! We've got NINE Pokemon to talk about today (10 if you count Gigantimax Eevee) so this is gonna be a fast-paced episode; don't worry, we still give each Pokemon their spotlight!
