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!

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!

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?!

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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…

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

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!

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...

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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...

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

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!

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...

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

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

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

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!

What a group of cuties - and this group IS quite large! With regional variants, split evolution lines, and mega evolution, there's a LOT to talk about today!

People like this Pokemon, right? I mean, Joachim and I don't really like it, but OTHER people enjoy this bird with a mouth below its beak, yes?

What better Pokemon to highlight for the 69th episode than everyone's favorite Pokemon... JYNX! Just don't think about the controversies. Hm. This one my get real.

That's right, we did them all together! They combine at some point or another, it's only fitting! There's a lot rabbits and horses to get through this week - and some of the most VGC talk yet!

Whats this? A sexy lizard Pokemon!? Well, some people probably find this Pokemon sexy. Do Frank and Joachim? Find out now!

Is this Pokemon really complete without its other half? Or, would it be it's other three-quarters? Dondozo IS a LOT bigger than Tatsugiri!

It's all frogs today, ladies and gentlemen! Well, actually, it's mostly TADPOLES if I'm being honest... fair warning, this has gotta be the most tangent-y episode yet! But there's still plenty of frog talk to go around!

Well what do ya know, TWO Ursaluna's for the price of one! The introduction of these big 'ole bears was quite the surprise, seeing as how Ursaring was the final evolution for over two decades! Were they needed? Do they improve the line or detract from it!?

Such an iconic Pokemon! One of Gen II's best, even! Kingdra is a Pokemon beloved by all, but can Joachim still find something to nitpick about it!?

Out of all the spider Pokemon, Spidops is... certainly one of them. Now we don't downright HATE this Pokemon like most people do, but we gotta admit... there's not much to grab onto here...

Is this the coolest horse Pokemon!? ...no? Well, maybe it is to some people! Although, it's a bad sign that the trivia sections for these Pokemon are practically none-existent...

Our first Genie! Tornadus is a very special Pokemon - he was the first ever solo-flying type! Despite that, we still spend most of the episode talking about a bug...
