Sounds like our final scary episode. Would've preferred to see Polteageist or Runerigus but at least it's not Gengar or Rotom for the upteempth time.

Insert obligatory "Is this a reference to the Shuppet and Max episode so that means Max could return" false hope here.

Reminds me of the first episode TPCI did (Fear Factor Phony) with Wobby blushing and falling in love with that Kirlia

Summary and staff list courtesy of Dephender at Serebii

Satoshi, Pikachu and the others have come to a town where strange phenomena have allegedly been occurring in various houses. In order to solve the mystery, the group searches one of the affected houses themselves, where they spot a Juppeta. The Juppeta has been taking all kinds of objects from the houses it's broken into. What could its goal be?

There better be some good old Satoshi mons cameos.

Would be good to see Noctowl again with its Foresight

I wonder if this will reference the Sabrina episode when Misty and Brock turned into dolls. Maybe a role reversal could be fun. Ash turns into a doll because of Banette's curse and they have to save him. Maybe it could even be symbolic of Ash growing up and outgrowing his old toys. I remember that he had a lot of different dolls in the very first episode, maybe one of them turned into a Banette?

The only episode (besides maybe that Squirtle one) of this miniseries for which I'm genuinely excited. Yes, it is likely another filler but it stars one of my favourite ghost types.

Also, while this is might be a coincidence, it seems like most of the CoTD Pokemon (with the exception of Latias) are Pokemon that can be found in Paldea during normal gameplay. Interesting, huh?

(with the exception of Latias)

Still holding out hope that she'll join Ash before it's all over.

In order to solve the mystery of strange phenomena occurring in a town, Satoshi and the others search one of the affected places, where they spot a Juppeta! It's been taking all kinds of objects from houses. What could its goal be?!

So the Banette is essentially just a burglar? I've never heard of a ghost being a burglar but somehow it is fitting.

Anybody else think Ash's Gengar might be featured here? (Seeing as how it's his only Ghost type, and the featured Pokemon here is also a Ghost type.)

It's created from an old plush toy no longer played with, maybe it's stealing other toys because of its jealousy? Or maybe it's taking things no longer used.

 

[R1ke]

No offense but I haven’t caught up since ep 3 and it really doesn’t feel like I missed much this series

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

Yay Gengar and Croagunk!

Yay Gengar and Croagunk!

I called it, Gengar is in this episode!

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

Called it, Gengar is in this episode!

Seems like they'll have a bonding moment due to both being "abandoned" by their trainers, but Banette's trainer probably didn't mean to left them. If their trainer is the little girl on the picture, she might be passed away.

Spoiler

Anya?

Banette is stealing heart shaped items, which might be relevant to the little girl.

 

[Die-Hard Dragon Devotee]

It looks like Dragonite's gonna be in this episode too! (One last little mini-reunion for the Journeys team, hah! ) I wonder if we'll see any of Ash's other Pokemon too? (And if we do, I wonder who's it going to be?)
