This episode was a little weird, because I wasn't super invested in it but it did still entertain me. Like I felt it dragging at times, but there were more things to keep my attention than a standard "haunted Pokémon/creepy forest" episode. For example: the art in this episode was over the top. The classmates being shown as nothing but skin and bones (with the old people voices on top of it) was insanely creepy and amusing. Lana continually holding the flashlight up by her face and acting all creepy was really fun too.
I like that Lillie using the repel was the reason she wasn't affected in the same way as the others, and then it worked in the opposite direction at the end of the episode. I thought that was a nice touch.
It was also hilarious that Ash came up with a plan that literally involved non-stop eating to maintain his energy and provide Morelull with the energy it needed. That was just classic Ash (i.e. not boring, OOC, over the top heroism) and I thought it was perfect.
But other than that, it was just okay. I didn't find the plot super engaging. The Litwick episode of BW where they were literally draining Team Rocket of their life force was much more of a standout. I'm not the biggest fan of these "mystery/haunted" episodes anyway though, so I'm not really surprised. It was the classmates' personalities and the art and animation that kept me interested.
