Preview SM022: Beware of Shovels!!!

[Jaypom]

A episode about shovels without the TRio?

And poor Litten.

I think it references the shovels from their bodies.
Also, hasn't the trio stopped using pitfallls? I cant remember the last time that Ash and co. fell in a hole due to the TRio

The last time they did it was in (If I remember right) XYZ when they tried to capture Bunnleby and Buneary.

This is going to be a crazy episode, we finally get to see Kawie's Charizard attack.

Wow, Palossand is massive! I thought the height of this Pokemon is at least almost 5 feet tall.

Hey, he had to eat a lot of kids to get that big

That or it just got promoted to a Totem Pokemon.

So Ash and Litten have to survive the inside of a Pallosand while Ash's other Pokemon and friends do battle with it in order to save them.

That's a pretty interesting concept for an episode.

RIP all Pokemon in Ash and his friends' Pokemon who are weak to water and ground.

RIP all Pokemon in Ash and his friends' Pokemon who are weak to water and ground.

In short, RIP almost all Pokemon main cast.

Well, looks like the animators decided that having a Pokemon be seen physically evolving was too much work and have fell back onto the blue light effect. Very disappointing, it's like they were holding this lollipop in front of us then yanking it away.

That is only the end of the evolution transformation. It could be more detailed before that, or it might only be for important evolutions.

The blue-light animation is also there in M20 for Metapod>Butterfree. Even when the original had it physically evolving.
It could be due to the artstyle, though.

Yeah, it's not like Ash, Jessie and James look like they do in SM, so they probably want the evolutions to look like they did, pre Sun and Moon, unless Mallow's Bounsweet evolution sequence into a Steenee was a once off, but I hope not.

Pallossand is actually 4'03"

Wow, but so is Amaura and...

Spoiler

So maybe this Palossand is bigger than usual, probably because it has absorbed some of the nearby sand into its body.

Nice to see ALL of the companions classmates pitching in this time.
