Beyond the Ball ·

2024/02/05

We've got a fresh one this week as we discuss the Toxic Mouse Pokemon Shroodle!

Follow along with the entries below: Scarlet: Though usually a mellow Pokémon, it will sink its sharp, poison-soaked front teeth into any that anger it, causing paralysis in the object of its ire.

Beyond the Ball ·

2023/12/12

It's blasting! It's clamping! That's right, it's Karrablast! Hold on. I'm hearing that it perhaps does not blast OR clamp? Let's get to the bottom of this.

Beyond the Ball 220 - Feraligatr

Beyond the Ball ·

2023/12/06

We're on to the biggest gator of the Totodile line and perhaps the most underwhelming. Feraligatr is big, mean and pretty fast I guess? Follow along with the entries below: Gold: When it bites with its massive and powerful jaws, it shakes its head and savagely tears its victim up. Silver: It is hard for it to support its own weight out of water, so it gets down on all fours. But it moves fast.

2023/10/23

Well, Machop was already pretty incredible. One can only imagine how much more fantastic it's next form, Machoke, might be!

Follow along with the entries below: Red & Blue: Its muscular body is so powerful, it must wear a power save belt to be able to regulate its motions.
