Dedenne Does Its Best! All for Goomy!!

While heading to Coumarine City, Ash & co. take a break for their Pokémon to relax. While there, Ash introduces his Pokémon to Goomy, but Goomy gets rather nervous, and when Dedenne approaches to help calm it, it gets even more frightened due to its Fairy-type. Soon after, Team Rocket show up and manage to grab all the Pokémon, and in doing so cause the Lombre in the area to get riled up and start attacking everyone, causing everyone to be separated from eachother. Can they find one another and will Goomy overcome its fears?

That Yancham's pillars move name is revealed to be Stone Edge.
Also, Yancham's new move shown is Tsuppari (Arm Thrust).

Who now can stand against the undefeated streak of Bonnie and Dedenne? There are none who can!

Didn't really think that I would enjoy this separation episode but I did. As the title says it does focus on Dedenne and Goomy and by the end of the episode Goomy overcomes its fears and become friends with the little dormouse. What was unexpected here was Serena's battling against TR, and battling well until it got confused by Inkay's attacks. It seems this episode is fond of callbacks for it once again references communication between electric types and that is how Pikachu tries to track down Dedenne. I also like how Goomy chews on the ears on Pokemon it is fond of like Pancham and then of course Goomy.

Fun episode, Bonnie has a promising future as a trainer and her double battle with Serena was just splendid. Strange story progression, though it may have worked here as it allowed Serena and Bonnie to do battle, though TR getting BTFO three times in a single episode strains the nerves.

So majestic
Serana's first time blasting of TR was nice to see. And is was pretty cool to see Bonnie command Dedenne. They are definitely growing. But my favourite moment was when Goomy and Dedenne have become best friends. They look so cute together ^^

Kinda split on this episode, on one hand it has scenes I have been waiting a while for, like Serena blasting off TR, and Bonnie fighting with Dedenne. The issue is that our characters are so far beyond TR in terms of power level that all suspense is lost from the start, and they dont have either the personality of OS, AG, or DP, or as cool as they were in BW.

I also really disliked that they essentially rehashed the pangoro episode into this one, and how the characters were so gullible towards meowth, since he has already betrayed them several times in XY.

Glad to see Serena be able to hold her own in battle, and seeing Bonnie battling with Dedenne was freaking sweet. And of course, the continued development of Goomy and its interactions with others (especially when it was hugging Dedenne at the end) - those are freaking cute like always :D

TR getting rekt'd not once, not twice, but three times in a single episode was just.....lol. I absolute hate to say things like this, but their antics are starting to get old and them taking an early retirement doesn't sound like a bad option at this point.

Team Rocket was annoying as usual in this episode. Loved seeing Serena and Bonnie in a double battle against Team Rocket, with Serena blasting them off. Pancham was great in this episode and Dedenne finally did something for once. Goomy was hilarious.

This was a good episode. I'm liking Pancham more and more as episodes go by. I felt bad for Goomy and I'm really curious about his past.

This episode was actually better than i was expecting it to be. Lot of interaction among the groups pokemon. And Serena battled with Dedenne. It was pretty cool.

Let's go to the beach, each.
I'm cackling @ Pancham revealing Arm Thrust here, yet Dedenne didn't get any new moves. I liked the Pokemon interactions, the wild Lotad and Lombre, Jessie stepping on Goomy, and Dedenne waking up to find Goomy staring at him.

Pancham used it in its capture episode, it was just named for the first time here, like Stone Edge.
 
I must say, this was a fantastic episode. Dedenne got quite some development and that slime-blob was cute as usual. From that flashback that Goomy had while they were battling, I must say that it has seen some serious sh*t xD

They are really developing Goomy a lot. I guess this is to compensate the quick evolution to Sliggoo.

Highlight of the episode was seeing Serena and Bonnie battling TRio. Of course, that just makes them look even more pathetic as if that were even possible.

Other than that pretty routine episode.

Why did James look up Goodra?

I think he was just looking up to see if goomy was any good and if they should waste the time to steal it...

I just really liked pancham here...the way it keeps a spare leaf in its fur and the how it freaked out when goomy was on it head (while everyone else ignored how it was freaking out)...these little details were nice...what I didn't like was the "nick of time" arrival of the gang when goomy was standing up for dedenne...I was kind hoping that either goomy would use bide again and blast off TR or learn a new move (dragon breath? It's not even that powerful)...but alas they has to bring in pikachu to do that...

Bonnie didn't trust Meowth so it not them being gullable this time

Mal's Review -


Pros:

* Poke-expressions: Hawlucha's bravado intro, Pancham's face when Goomy was sucking on his glasses

* XY maintains intraseason continuity (though it needs interseason continuity) with the Dedenne/Pikachu electrical connection

* Goomy's brief Vietnam PTSD flashback


Cons:

* It was a filler, but it wasn't good either

* Not one, not two, but three Team Rocket fights - can't these writers make a filler without having to use these guys?

* Bonnie and Serena teaming up was okay, but considering how much TR is a joke this season, I was surprised that Serena/Pancham actually struggled and needed Bonnie/Dedenne to enter the fray

* Oh another Meowth joins the group, but betrays them and leads them back to TR - as if I haven't seen that before...


Thoughts/Cons:

* Once again, an instance where the episode could easily have been rewritten to have some Serena/Clemont interactions by having them get separated together - but nope

* Goomy's PTSD better be explored. If XY Ash is being compared to DP Ash, then he should help Goomy get past his troubles in future episodes like how DP Ash bonded with his Pokemon. It would be disappointing if it just ended in this episode.

* Dedenne gets another focus episode. Meanwhile, Luxray and Bunnelby are just rotting in their Pokeballs.
