A Slippery Encounter! (858)

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Great episode, the action was fun, Goomy is a freaking cuty the thing where it bites people ears is so cute and the thing being so delicated and scared , I expect great moments from it(while it lasts since its evolving fast).

Satoshi being gentle when capturing it was also pretty cute.

´

Meh episode for me, just another "Team Rocket steals Pikachu and they have to get him back" episode. Works as an introduction for Goomy though. Being able to Rain Dance people that annoy you is a nice ability.

I did find it amusing that Meowth said he was going to do an impression of Giovanni. I took that as an implication he still has those ridiculous fantasies, just off-screen.

Well thats 95% of the episode so if we can actually get something else like a capture in those its better.

Rain Dance was pretty damn funny.

Goomy: Best Part of the Episode. Rain Dance was funny.

Team Rocket: Worst Part of the Episode. I'm just so tired of them showing up to steal Pikachu. They didn't even need to be in the episode. They could easily have been replaced by some over territorial wild Pokemon that would pick on Goomy and Ash would rescue it and help it overcome its fears/weakness and confront them.

They would have to change the second half of the episode completely though to not have Team Rocket involved.Because if not Pikachu wouldn't have been there much and Fletchinder might not have been there at all.

Honestly, I didn't really mind TR in this episode. They made me laugh during their 'celebration' and they did what they came for.

Numera was really cute, its Rain Dance thing was pretty cool and the new OP was absolutely fantastic.

10/10. As phanpycross said, what a way to start 2015

Yeah at least they didn't feel forced or just added just for the sake of adding them.

 

[Almighty Zard]

what was Clemont saying at the end before Ash was about to catch goomy.

normally they'd be excited for a new team member but that didn't seem to be the case this time.

 

[Pink Harzard]

Thanks to technical problems, I couldn't use sound. But still I enjoyed the episode. The first time I saw Goomy, I thought it was cute. How wrong I am. Goomy is super cute. I love the expressions it makes and the smartness it shows during the escape. First it makes Pikachu squishy so it can go through the hole, and later it casts a raincloud over James. I only think its a bit weird that Goomy seems to lick or nibble on ears.

Did Goomy just pee itself in terror?

Also That was one of Clemont best invention ever

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

That was a really nice episode, I like how Clemont made a useful invention, don't know how I feel about Goomy's fear gag (not that it lasts long but meh).

9.5/10

 

[Lucario At Service]

Is Goomy's ability Sap Sipper?

Not confirmed, but i have never seen a non Grass or Bug type Pokemon ever eat leafs and like it, which seems odd to me and possibly could also point to it having Sap Sipper.

But some people on the other hand are saying that it got to have Hydration as its ability because it knows Rain Dance.

 

[Joltik-Kid]

I hope Rain Dance isn't the reason Goomy evolves, because in the game it doesn't allow that. Not to mention Rain Dance is generally a useless and gimmicky move in the anime

 

[uber gon]

I'm so happy that Ash finally got Goomy and that it will evolve into his first Psuedo Legendary!!!! I can't wait to see how the writers will develop Goomy from being weak into being strong.

Make it like Torterra and never win a battle?

 

[Herdheaven]

Well I hope that they don't do that. Goodra doesn't look like it will be as slow as Torterra either. I'm sure that Goodra will win against some strong opponents later on in the series. I also really liked how they showed Psybeam confusing both Pikachu and Fletchinder and then them attacking each other. Goomy saw Ash break them up and knew that Ash cares about his Pokemon.

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

Just watched this episode, Goomy seemed hilarious to me for some reason, especially during the beginning of the episode. I thought it was so cute when Goomy nibbled on Serena's ear. Team Rocket scared me with their annoying antics, especially when they were imitating Pokemon. Jessie's was the worst though imo lol.
7/10

 

[Lorde]

Goomy nibbling on Serena's ear and then using Rain Dance on her made me cackle. That was sadly the only genuinely funny moment for me here though; the "funny" facial expressions from Team Rocket and Goomy and others were so forced imho. I'm glad that Ash caught Goomy though and not Clemont.

 

[nuzamaki90]

That damn Bide was the strongest DBZ moment I've ever seen.

Jesus Christ our gooey homie completely went Exodia and obliterated Team Rocket. It even hit the Ghost-type Pumpkaboo

Weakest dragon my ***.

 

[DotKU]

Glad Goomy is finally part of the crew! Overall I really liked the episode for what it was. Now we wait for Honedge!!

Bulbapedia has its ability listed as Hydration so maybe that's it?

 

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Btw why isn't Clemont in some lab tryung to help people, freaking kid made a machine that makes dreams appear on a TV.

 

[WJG12345]

I really like this episode. Goomy was pretty cute and it's move set so far is kinda interesting, I mean I don't really don't see the point of rain dance other than it being a gag move or a move to support the Hydration ability or maybe something to do with his evolution into Goodra, however I like bide and think it is an interesting move to have. I liked Clements invention and learning about what happened to Goomy and his old home was nice. Also I loved Goomy's personality and his expressions he makes. Ash catching Goomy without throwing his poke ball was pretty nice.

Also I like the Fletchinder actually got some screen time this episode, though I am kinda disappointed they kept Peck of all moves, but it makes sense because Frogadier already has Double team.

I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see more of Goomy and his future development.

I give this episode a 9.5/10
