Beyond the Ball 144 - Honedge

What happens when a sword becomes a Pokemon? You get Honedge of course! Join us as we once again explore the heady and ambiguous metaphysical laws of the Pokemon world with this uniquely spooky specimen!

Follow along with the Pokedex entries below:

X:

Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force.

Y:

If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person’s arm and drains that person’s life energy completely.

Sword:

Honedge’s soul once belonged to a person who was killed a long time ago by the sword that makes up Honedge’s body.

Shield:

The blue eye on the sword’s handguard is the true body of Honedge. With its old cloth, it drains people’s lives away.

Super Smash Bros Wii U (PAL region):

There's a rather spooky tale behind this Pokémon's origins: apparently, it's an ancient sword possessed by a departed spirit. Honedge won't let anyone grip its hilt. If they try, it will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm and drain the life energy from their body! Yikes!

BTB:

This spooky little sword will eat you for dinner, so stay from that hilt.
