Episode 36 - Doduo and Dodrio
October 07, 2020 01:40 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MBOops! All Doduo! We made a big goof getting this one out of the factory, and it turned out to be two episodes Frankensteined together. In retrospect, it's kind of fitting for an episode about Doduo, nature's mistake.
Episode 35 - Farfetch'd, Galarian Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd
September 08, 2020 01:28 - 1 hour - 87.7 MBDid we go into this episode expecting to dunk on Farfetch'd? Absolutely.

July 01, 2020 01:47 - 1 hour - 114 MBMuch like Slowpoke, Grace and Nathanael may not be the quickest on the uptake, but they make up for it in heart.

April 30, 2020 01:49 - 57 minutes - 78.4 MBThese guys, man. They're not gonna win any awards; in fact, we'd be shocked if they're even nominated. But of all the things you could say about Tentacruel, you can certainly say this: Tentacruel was banned forever because of 9/11.

Episode 29 - Bellsprout, Weepinbell, and Victreebel
April 17, 2020 03:29 - 57 minutes - 78.9 MBLook, if you like Weepinbell, maybe skip this one? We go pretty hard on the guy, but frankly? We think he deserves it.

Episode 24 - Mankey and Primeape
December 10, 2019 03:12 - 56 minutes - 77.5 MBA warning for this one, folks: Grace comes into the discourse with a pretty strong anti-monkey bias. We're sure Mankey won't mind though, as he'd probably hate her regardless. One thing that Grace does love, though? Learning about CANON Mankey death.

Episode 23 - Psyduck and Golduck

Episode 22 - Meowth, Persian, and Alolan Forms
November 22, 2019 03:39 - 1 hour - 91.2 MBSeeing as he's the only Pokemon who can talk, it makes sense that Meowth hops on this episode of Podcast Monsters. What doesn't make sense is why the Pokemon company decided it would be cool to make Alolan Persian's head a gd watermelon. Listen now, or prepare to fight! (Meowth, that's right!)

Episode 20 - Venonat and Venomoth
October 22, 2019 04:30 - 1 hour - 88.3 MBVenonat is NOT a team player, and he gives us virtually nothing to work with in this episode.

Episode 18 - Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume and Bellossom
September 07, 2019 21:14 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MBThis episode, the Pokedex entries get the most brutal we've seen yet. Mother Nature was... not kind to Gloom.

August 07, 2019 01:55 - 1 hour - 86.5 MBBig shocker on this one, folks: we deem Jigglypuff a cutie. So is Wigglytuff- who could resist those ears? But Igglybuff? Put that little weirdo right back in the oven, thankyouverymuch. Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.
Episode 15 - Vulpix, Ninetales, and Alolan Forms
July 23, 2019 23:03 - 1 hour - 98.6 MBWhat Pokemon will not hesitate even a little to curse you for 10,000 years? Did you think of something spooky like Gengar? Well, you're wrong, unless you thought of Ninetales, who we discover is the pettiest (and prettiest) thing we've ever seen.

April 19, 2019 21:57 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBWe'll be real with you: in this episode, we tried to avoid talking about Spearow. Or maybe we discussed all that there is to be said about Spearow.
