this was quite a wholesome SoL episode. gave focus to Ash and Dracovish too

 

[BigDocFan]

This was certainly a fun episode to watch, great fun

Chloe and Eevee get some focus, Dracovish appears for the first time since its capture, Dewgong shows some character

Fishous Rend Dracovish is greatt

In a surprising twist, Goh didn't catch anything here. Not even when Huntail was knocked out.

 

[90'sPokéfan]

The writers seems to be mostly consistent with the personalities and quarks of Goh's Pokémon. Dewgong showed his 'in love' (Brock like) side again.

And Dracovish, will him biting Ash's head after being called out become a running gag? It realy gave me James vibes. And he has proven being able to stay on land for longer periods of time.

And Chloe and Eevee were also interesting.

 

[Singaporean]

What a fun episode. If it wasn't that Dewgong fault for jealously for love. Otherwise, either Ash, Goh or Chloe would had won the compeition. Nevertheless, congratulation for Chloe getting the water stone from the character of the day. Presumably, she might never use it.

Overall rating: B+

 

[GrookeyFan77]

The scene where Goh failed to catch Gorebyss was soo pleasing

You know what, i smell a Poliwag into Poliwhirl evolution the near future, who then conveniently finds the Water Stone lying around and evolve into Poliwrath, which makes Chloe angy, who then snaps a Goh, since he makes the comment: She shouldn't have let the Water Stone lying around.

 

[Craiden]

Very good episode, Dracovish got more than I thought he would, without taking away from the Koharu/Eevee focus, and Grookey once again proves to be great.

Deja vu

I'm surprsied that Bulbapedia hasn't updated the page for the fish dragon yet with the moves yet.

I’m just so glad we got to see Dracovish here, showing off what makes it unique as a Pokémon and its own personality and relationship with Ash - this is I wanted!

But there is no excuse for this to be the first time it has been shown since it’s capture, they should have bumped up its capture to a later point so there wouldn’t have been such a big gap.

Failing that, all they had to do was show it running about and biting Ash’s head briefly in the intervening episodes, maybe show it excitably reacting to Suicune’s roar? It could have been shown frightening Sobble?

I’d like to reiterate, I am very glad Dracovish got to be part of this episode.

The Chloe and Eevee stuff was really great too, I just really wish they didn’t disappear for five episodes after every good bit of focus.

Sigh... putting aside my problems with the wider series... this episode was pretty great! It was cool seeing the Huntail battle.

Somebody will be saying “you don’t know what move that was!”

The special preview just stole the attention.

The special preview just stole the attention.

Yep. Ash and Infernape teaming up, and Dracovish looking pretty strong in the fight with Iris.

 

[GrookeyFan77]

Dracovish Ice Fang? It froze Dragonite.

Dracovish Ice Fang? It froze Dragonite.

The move here seemed more like Fishious Rend.

I meant the preview.
