Follow along with the entries below: Black: When its body dries out, it weakens. So, to prevent dehydration, it wraps itself in many layers of thin membrane.

December 06, 2023 21:28 - 1 hour - 148 MBWe're on to the biggest gator of the Totodile line and perhaps the most underwhelming. Feraligatr is big, mean and pretty fast I guess?

Follow along with the entries below: Red & Blue: Its muscular body is so powerful, it must wear a power save belt to be able to regulate its motions.

Beyond the Ball 211 - Vileplume
September 11, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 74.6 MBWe're on to Vileplume and it's bigger, floppier and perhaps no longer stinky. It's also definitely some combination of toxic, poisonous, and/or allergenic. Also Will says "rapscallion" twice in this episode! Follow along with the entries below: Red & Blue: The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up. Yellow: Flaps its broad flower petals to scatter its poisonous pollen. The flapping sound is very loud. Gold: It has the world’s larges...

July 24, 2023 15:09 - 53 minutes - 52.9 MBAlright, we're on to the final Lycanroc and it's kind of a dud to be honest.

Follow along with the entries below: Ultra Sun: Bathed in the setting sun of evening, Lycanroc has undergone a special kind of evolution. An intense fighting spirit underlies its calmness. Ultra Moon: This strange form is the result of its evolving at dusk. ...

June 26, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBA dog becomes a wolf this episode as we discuss one of three of Rockruff's evolved forms, Lycanroc (Midday)! In case you couldn't tell by the cover art this week, Braden is feeling some last-minute, reactionary Pride Month Spirit as we try to make our values and politics even more obvious this episode. Also Will has made the natural progression from watching True Blood to watching Twilight so hold on tight, spider monkeys! Follow along with the entries below: Sun: Its quick movements confus...
Beyond the Ball 203 - Rockruff
