[[caption-width-right:350:Not the best of first impressions for our intrepid young hero. With Pikachu, you'd think he'd be used to this by now...]]

!!Episodes

[[foldercontrol]]

!!In General
* The second opening has Goh and Ash taking selfies with Leon and Raihan. One photo has Sobble about to cry and another has Dragonite blocking the lens as he's about to ''hug everyone''.
* The third opening has many scenes of Goh, Ash and Chloe riding alongside ''[[NoSenseOfDirection Leon]]'' in a Charizard based car. And in many scenes, you can actually see Leon reading a map trying to figure out where to go next.

[[folder:[=JN001 to JN010=]]]
[[AC:[=JN001=]]]
* As usual, young Ash oversleeps on the day of Pokémon summer camp. Apparently, Ash has been doing that for ''years''. Who'd'a thunk?
* Also, seeing Goh's reaction to Mew appearing and casually attacking a Nidoking with ''Earthquake''.

[[AC:[=JN002=]]]
* Not even a Thunderbolt from Pikachu is able to wake Ash in the morning. One can't help but wonder... Just ''how frequently does Pikachu have to wake Ash up by shocking him'' that Ash has become ''immune'' to it?
* Ash finds Yamper at the entrance of Cerise Institute, and takes firm hold of the IdiotBall due to CutenessProximity, [[AndCallHimGeorge grabbing Yamper and snuggling him]]. Naturally, much like Pikachu would, Yamper zaps him. Then Chloe arrives, and finds Ash zapped and unconscious on the steps. She nervously sidesteps his body, and continues up the steps.
** As a result of this, an early RunningGag is going to be Yamper not liking Ash.
* Ash going off to find Lugia, but he forgot to get directions. As a result, he winds up at a road blocked by Snorlax.
* A mild version of CrashIntoHello: When Lugia tries to escape its battle with Ash, he jumps and catches onto it. They just happen to be passing Goh, who also jumps and grabs onto its tail. Ash and Goh catch sight of each other in shock.
-->'''Both:''' HUH?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!!
* When Cerise grants Ash and Goh their fellowships at the Cerise Institute and shows them to their dorm room, they promptly fight over the top bunk.
* Cerise takes it upon himself to give Goh a starter Pokémon, since he doesn't have one yet. Goh declines the Kanto starters, stating he wants Mew as his starter.

[[AC:[=JN003=]]]
* The episode begins with Ash and Goh asleep in their bunks, and mumbling to each other to get up in their sleep. Pikachu, also asleep, also joins in. Then Mimey comes in, while miming using a vacuum cleaner, and its mimed vacuum cleaner [[YourMimeMakesItReal sucks the sheets off their beds, waking them up]].
* Ash and Goh immediately think to climb up a brick wall to follow an Ivysaur that pulled itself over with its vines. Goh tells Ash to stop copying him, but has difficulty climbing the wall, while Ash gets over it easily. Ash would spend the rest of the episode helping Goh climb stuff.
* Goh is annoyed when Ash and Pikachu imitate the Ivysaur by laying on the roof of the the under-construction Pokémon Gym, both of them looking utterly blissful and happy. [[NotSoAboveItAll But eventually joins in]].
* Goh has heard of the Team Rocket Trio, but doesn't believe they really have a talking Meowth. Then he finds that rumor is true and goes full CameraFiend, much to Meowth's irritation.
* When Chloe returns, she says she was late because [[RealityEnsues she had to clean up all the flowers that suddenly bloomed at school]] after the mass evolution of all the Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. Ash and Goh laugh.

[[AC:[=JN004=]]]
* Mimey manages to prank Goh by miming getting breakfast.
* When Ash tries to make amends with Scorbunny after the Pokémon stole his food, it gives him a LiteralAssKicking, prompting Pikachu to shock it (and Ash, inadvertently).

[[AC:[=JN005=]]]
* To search for the Dynamax phenomenon, Ash and Goh are told to look for the red lights (meaning the red beams denoting raid battles). Ash then gets distracted by a red railroad warning light.
* Scorbunny attempts to get Ash and Goh's attention whilst the duo are trying to figure out how to get a berry to fall down for Snorlax to eat it. Scorbunny gets annoyed, and resorts to kicking a rock at Goh... only to end up sniping Ash in the back of the head with it.
* When Goh finally decides to catch Scorbunny, he throws a Poké Ball...and completely misses. Scorbunny catches up to it, kicks it around, then catches itself.
* Really, Scorbunny tends to be a walking CMOF in most of the scenes that it's in. From the montage of it trying to make its way back to the Wild Area, to the mini temper tantrum it throws at the end of the episode when Pikachu and Yamper aren't giving it any attention as the latter two play with each other.
* After the combined efforts of our heroes finally gets the Gigantamaxed Snorlax to jump, the impact of it landing back on the ground causes the ground to bounce and shake for quite the distance, freaking out a herd of Wooloo. A couple of scenes later, said Wooloo have all passed out from the shock.

[[AC:[=JN006=]]]
* This episode proves that, this time around, ''Ash'' is the competent one. Brock and Misty would be proud.
* At the end of the episode, Goh declares his new goal of catching as many Pokemon as possible until he catches Mew. Goh then asks Ash what his goal is, and he responds with his usual line of becoming a Pokemon Master. Chloe asks him if he means to become the best Pokémon Trainer, to which Ash responds that it’s so much bigger than that, leaving Chloe unsure of what he means.
* The final scene of all the Bug-types crowded in Ash and Goh's room.

[[AC: [=JN007=]]]
* Mr. Mime is apparently giving lessons to Goh, Professor Cerise and Chloe in martial arts. When Goh asks if he is doing it right, Mr. Mime says to follow Metapod as an example, leaving everyone flabbergasted.
* While Yamper and Scorbunny are playing around, Scorbunny accidentally kicks Metapod into a large rock and makes a nasty crunch noise. Everyone is worried, but the professor is mistakenly more worried about the rock than Metapod. When Goh picks up Metapod to check on him, Scorbunny is in shock at what he's done.
* When Ash and Goh arrive in Hoenn, Ash makes it clear that he intends to enter the Pokemon Tournament that is being held, and he plans to use Mimey. Goh is skeptical of it, but Mimey gives this epic look that screams "Do you doubt me, child?".
** Mimey's expression [[ContinuityNod is doubtlessly inspired by]] ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu''.
** Come the actual fight it we see against a Hariyama, it utterly curbstomps it. When declared the winner, Mr. Mime acts all cocky afterwards. Until the second fight is Hodge's Mightyena, into which after giving the same look it gave Goh, he throws in the towel. Showing how he's clearly aware of how type-advantages work.
** It gets even funnier when you remember that Mr. Mime is also a fairy type, meaning it did have a type advantage over Mightyena. Not to mention Mimey just used Focus Punch, a fighting type move which would have been very effective. Mimey chickened out for no reason!
* Goh is out on his catching-mania once he spots a Taillow, hoping it would lead him to more bug-types to add to his growing collection. He somehow ends up sneaking up right behind a resting Mightyena (later revealed to be Hodge's), thinking of it as a bush, and then earn its ire when Scorbunny tears a strand of its fur clean off its bottom (by accident). Their faces makes it amusingly clear how ''badly'' they messed up.
** On Goh's way to catch Tailow, he crawls towards it like a caterpillar, catching the eye of a mother and her baby.
* Before Goh left for Hoenn, he was deciding which of his Bug types were a good fit for battle. He looked at Pinsir and thought about it, but then the Pinsir just looked away nervously. Scyther more or less egged Goh on to choose him.
* Hodge's EstablishingCharacterMoment: He rides on top of Hariyama, looking down on Ash...and promptly asks Ash to move to the side so he can put his empty water bottle into the proper recycling bin. He then has Hariyama lean down so he can drop it...and smacks his face right into the lid.
** At the end of the episode, he does this again (only this time to congratulate Ash for the battle). And yes, he does fall off Hariyama.

[[AC:[=JN008=]]]
* This episode reaffirms how Ash works with Pokemon as, when a school of Tentacool appears, Ash ''pokes one to see its squishiness''. The annoyed Tentacool gives him a Bubble Beam to the face.
** Goh decides to catch the strongest-looking Tentacool. He throws a Poké Ball at it, only for the Tentacool to quickly dodge to the side, letting another Tentacool (which was ''sleeping'') be caught. Despite being surprised, Goh is okay with it.
* There's something funny about a Croagunk, a marsh-dwelling Pokémon that isn't a Water-type, swimming in the frigid seas of Snowpoint City. One has to wonder how it even got there in the first place.
* The RunningGag of Lauren losing her glasses. Ash and Goh aren't even surprised when she says that was how she first met Piplup and Croagunk. And at the end of the episode, that's how she meets a Psyduck.
* Goh enters his newly caught Mantyke into the race. When at the starting line, it has an expression that says "I am ''not'' in the mood for this."

[[AC:[=JN010=]]]
* Goh [[CrazyPrepared packed his backpack with Poké Balls to catch Dragonite]]...but [[EpicFail wastes them all on a single Dewgong]].
** Said Dewgong falls in love with a female, spurring it to swim faster. He is left heartbroken at never been able to find her again throughout the episode.
** The fact Goh doesn't realize he'd blown his entire stock of Poké Balls until ''after'' they reach the island while trying to catch a Dragonite. He goes [[ColorFailure white in shock]] processing having no Poké Balls left.
* Ash lampshades how Dragonite stands out compared to its pre-evotions Dratini and Dragonair. Goh agrees with him, considering how the evolution line goes, one would expect the final evolution to be a Pokémon like Milotic.
* The sight of Dragonite shooting a Hyper Beam at Team Rocket so up close that he's practically shooting them in the face.
* Ash's Dragonite being quite the hugger. It hugs Ash to request that it goes with him and then hugs Professor Cerise as thanks for keeping Dragonite Island secret.
* In a meta-example: the sheer fact that Ash's first capture in the series is a ''Pseudo-legendary'' instead of the regional bird is enough to make one laugh at the absurdity of it all. But then again, since all of the birds are Flying-type -- which Dragonite also is -- it continues the trend one of Ash's first captures being Flying-type!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=JN011 to JN020=]]]

[[AC: [=JN011=]]]
* Goh's Wurmple all evolve at the same time...into three Cascoon.
* Goh's Stantler and Scyther looking terrified at Ash's Dragonite, whose entire upper body is cast in shadow, looking like it wants to murder them...and then proceed to be absolutely happy when the dragon gives them a big hug.

[[AC: [=JN012=]]]
* Professor Cerise hands out two tickets to the Galar Championship-finals to Ash and Goh. Goh can barely contain himself in excitement. [[IdiotHero Ash]] on other hand...
-->'''Ash''': [[AskAStupidQuestion What is this?]]\\
(''Cue FaceFault from Goh and Scorbunny.'')
** Made even funnier that Ash, the ''Alola League Champion'', wasn't even notified about this at all!
* The Team Rocket Trio, all fired up after witnessing a Galar Championship-Dynamax battle, spots a Drednaw lumbering out from the bushes and decides to catch it on the spot, summoning their "Team Rocket-Gacha" for something to fight with... only to get a ''Bellsprout'' for the job. Cue FaceFault from the Trio.
** Their Pok&edex doesn't bother with the in-depth details of Pok&emon, just going "etc., etc." after the species and type for Drednaw.
*** In the dub, it sounds like a little kid with ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
---->'''Pokédex:''' Dwednaw: da bite Pokémon! A water and rock type, and I don't--I don't know...
** When Drednaw becomes Gigantamax, Bellsprout pulls a ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandoning Team Rocket to the vengeful turtle's wrath.

[[AC: [=JN013=]]]
* Gigantamax Pikachu having some ''real'' troubles with getting used to its new size, staggering around like a drunk the first time just to stay upright, and repeatedly trying to jump in the air out of habit when unleashing an electric attack, only to drop back down to the ground like a giant fluffy marshmallow when gravity objects to the idea.
* Goh tries to explain to Ash ''why'' it's not so easy to challenge the Champion of Galar right off the path, delivering an elaborate pyramid-diagram and the full exposition on how many trainers Ash needs to beat just to get a ''chance'' to challenge the champion. Only for Leon to show up right afterwards just to tell Ash that he accepts his challenge and is ready to go in that very moment. Cue massive disbelief and a freak-out from Goh over what just happened.
* The Rocket Trio, after having escaped the wrath of Gigantamax Drednaw and searched for it the whole night and day after once it shrunk back down, are so exhausted that Jessie's BerserkButton doesn't even get pushed when a Chewtle is found chomping on her hair in the search's aftermath.
** Their "Rocketdex" delivers another sarcastic remark when used on Chewtle.

[[AC: [=JN014=]]]
* All of Dragonite's scenes can be chalked up to this.
** The first thing it does is cuddle Keira the female excavator [[{{Keet}} excitedly]], and she has to tell the dragon to calm down, to which it does somersaults of joy.
** When Ash is sand-surfing across the desert, Dragonite swerves past Goh and his Beedrill before flying so high that Ash ''rides off a sand dune, screaming for dear life''.
** As Ash catches his breath, Dragonite is [[FunnyBackgroundEvent doing loop-de-loops in excitement]]
** And when Ash decides to recall Dragonite, Dragonite just gives a pout that says, "But I was just getting started!"
* When Karamari enthusiastically states his intention to fill the Pok&edex entirely with Shiny Pok&emon, Ash, Goh, and one of the excavators that's guiding them through the ruins start BackingAwaySlowly.
* The fact that Ash has Pikachu use an Electric attack on a Sandile...forgetting that as he has a Krookadile, that it wouldn't work.
* Scorbunny attempts to attack the giant Golurk. Keyword "attempt". The Golurk simply flicked Scorbunny like a fly.

[[AC: [=JN015=]]]
* Scorbunny is so excited to see Goh's home that he carries Goh all the way to the bus leading to the city and leaves Ash and Pikachu behind.
* Goh unleashes his Pokémon on hand -- Scyther, Beedrill, Butterfree and Taillow -- and all of them huddle, shivering in the cold.
** Goh's Scyther gets pelted by snowballs by three Geodude. Scyther gets angry and starts chasing them.

[[AC: [=JN016=]]]
* Professor Cerise reveals he knew the building was haunted by the Gengar from the contractor. Why he still bought the building anyway? Because he thought it'd be fun.
** A flashback then shows Gengar attempting to annoy Cerise by constantly slamming the door open and closed. Cerise just continues working, eventually causing Gengar to give up, but not before properly closing the door.
* All of the bad luck jinxes that Gengar gives Ash:
** He and Goh climb upstairs but Ash stumbles and has to grab onto Goh's ass. This was, for the curious, kept in the dub.
** He tries to sprinkle Parmesan cheese onto a plate of pasta Mr. Mime cooked for him, only for nothing to spill out...and then all of its contents are dumped onto his plate.
** He gets run over by a parade of Goh's Pokémon (And Dragonite!)
** By the time Ash gets his foot stuck in a hole...he flips out and starts screaming before running out of the laboratory, to the surprise and befuddlement of Gengar, still in his shadow.

[[AC: [=JN017=]]]
* After being egg'd on by a Darmanitan that is doubting he even is a fire-type, Scorbunny's response is a fireball...the size of a pinky nail.
* While out looking for Pokémon, Goh ends up finding and trying to catch a Pelipper, specifically, the one that delivers Team Rocket's Gachat Machine.
* James's secret agenty effort to enter their hideout was for the purpose of ''returning with potato chips''.
** Goh gives chase, but the Pelipper escapes via the Trio's new secret base entrance, disguised as a phone booth. Goh loses sight and turns his attention to the phone booth, [[WhatAreRecords left questioning what it is.]]
** Goh goes into the booth... at the same time the Trio is going out, causing them to all get stuck in the booth.
** Once they all get unstuck, Goh questions what they were doing in the box, and the Trio realizes he doesn't even know what a phone booth is.
---> '''Meowth''': Kids these days don't know what phone booths are, meow!
** It becomes funny on a Meta level on the fact that the anime started in the late '90s when phone booths were still used. Then ComicBookTime comes into play, with this episode coming out in 2020.
* In pointing out that the phone booth was too conspicuous, James [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud accidentally spills to Goh that the phone booth is the entrance to their secret base.]]
** Then Team Rocket gets ready to attack Goh, only for Pelipper to be delayed and come out of the phone booth entrance. Goh notes that it's the same one from before, and Meowth puts two and two together and realizes the Pelipper blew their cover. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Pelipper quickly flies off and drops the Gachat once it gets away from the trio.]]

[[AC: [=JN020=]]]
* After Goh spots a Farfetch'd, he throws a Poké Ball at it, only for Farfetch'd to use its leek to bat the Ball back at him, hitting him in the face. And then when he encounters it again later, the Ball is once again batted back onto his face. On the third try, Goh psyches it out first, allowing him to successfully hit it with a Poké Ball while it is unable to fight back, and subsequently catch it.
** Goh's newly caught Pidgey, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ cuddling up to Chloe, which freaks her out.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=JN021 to JN030=]]]

[[AC: [=JN021=]]]
* Goh is excited to find some Pokémon eggs...but it turns out that it's an Exeggcute instead.
* At the Pokémon Center, Pikachu is getting an alcohol cotton swab on his tail and he's in immense pain, likely trying not to instinctively shock Nurse Joy. This is ''after'' going toe-to-toe with a Tauros using Iron Head, mind you.
* Ash introduces Riolu's egg to Dragonite, who immediately wants to cuddle it. Ash has to say no, else Dragonite would crack it. Dragonite instead just hugs Pikachu.
** On the plus side - normally when you hug Pikachu he sparks, unless you're Ash. Apparently, Pikachu ''approves of Dragonite hugs.''
* When Goh makes a remark of the Riolu not able to hear Ash, Professor Cerise mentions the tale of an Azurill who hatched after listening to a Jigglypuff sing and sang right back, causing the Jigglypuff to sleep. Goh then immediately apologizes while Raboot has an expression that screams "Really?"

[[AC: [=JN022=]]]
* When Goh and Ash discuss the Beautifly migrating patterns and how they ride the tailwind, Ash thinks it would be more fun to go against the headwind. Go then has a brief ImagineSpot of Ash as a Beautifly [[note]] As in, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EV-hAUoXYAgyBo1.jpg a Beautifly with Ash's face]][[/note]] and when it ends, Go seems to be rather unnerved at the image of ''that''.
** Even in an ImagineSpot, Ash is still a {{Determinator}} who won't give up.
* When Raboot makes peace with Goh by offering him an apple and then having some of it itself, it [[WhenSheSmiles betrays a smile on the usually-hidden portion of its face]]. When Goh notices, [[UnmanlySecret Raboot tries to hide the smile]] before getting joyfully glomped by Goh.
-->'''Goh:''' You smiled...\\
(''Raboot turns away, wraps its ears around its faceguard, and [[BlushSticker blushes]] indignantly'')

[[AC: [=JN023=]]]
* It is kinda amusing to see how crazy Goh's Pokemon get when searching for food and turning against each other.
** Goh's Sandile looks like it comes close to eating Goh's Oddish.
** Goh's Farfetch'd gets so hungry that it briefly considers eating its own leek before stopping itself. Then it sees Spearow and Taillow eyeing the leek, causing Farfetch'd to panic and fly off.

* Both Sandile and Misdreavus plan to get some chow by 'helping' the others against the Bug-types. The OhCrap on their faces when confronted by said Bug-types is priceless.
* While sleeping, Ash sleeptalks, telling Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, to which he does, zapping Ash, Goh, Riolu, and Raboot awake in the process.
* The very end with Goh's Skwovet jumping off Golurk's shoulder and accidentally removing its seal, setting off its outburst again.

[[AC: [=JN024=]]]
* Ash and Goh catching nothing but Magikarp and Goldeen while fishing to investigate "The Lord", which starts to frustrate them.
* The awkward encounters between Ash and Goh and Team Rocket have their funny moments, from asking for directions to helping them fish out the giant Magikarp.
* The giant Magikarp deflecting Goh's first Pokeball, resulting in another ball to the face moment for him. He ends up sending his Oddish out to use Sleep Powder before trying to throw another ball.
* Goh's giant Magikarp's Splash was able to knock back two Rocket Grunts, a Rhyperior, and a Toxicroak, from its sheer size.
* The end where the giant Magikarp jumps so high, it breaks a hole in the ceiling and then splashes all over Professor Cerise, Chrysa, and Ren.
* Five words: Wobbuffet with a southern accent.

[[AC: [=JN025=]]]
* When on their flight, Ash has to stop Pikachu from eating too many cookies.
** Even funnier when you realize the irony of [[BigEater Ash]] telling someone to stop eating.
* Pikachu and Riolu both trying to assert themselves as Ash's battlers against Korrina without being asked to, only to get shut down and put on the sidelines pouting.
* Korrina telling Riolu to cheer on her Lucario, annoying Ash.
* With two stacked Dragon Dances, Dragonite's Hurricane is so windy [[FunnyBackgroundEvent an audience member flies away!]]
* Dragonite's determined and serious expression in battle faded the moment Ash praised him for a job well done, reverting so fast to his regular looks it is funny. Just as funny as the dragon glomping Ash so hard they fall over into a heap.
* Riolu cannot resist cheering or fanboying over Korrina and Gurkin's Lucarios. It is adorable.

[[AC: [=JN026=]]]
* The [[FlatWhat expression]] on Raboot’s face during the Magikarp segment at the end of Ash and Goh’s [[GrowingMusclesSequence fantasy]] about them and Magikarp having abs.
* The first segment ends with Ash reading the episode’s closing lines from a script and then winking at the audience, annoying Goh.
--> '''Goh:''' What are you some kind of narrator or something?
* Bonus funny points: during the segment's end, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3x3-22Gi3g the Magikarp Song]] plays.
** Speaking of, during the beginning of the second segment, when Ash, Goh, Pikachu, and Raboot get to the Slowpoke Island, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOqy8cC72wA the Slowpoke Song]] plays.
* Slowking seeing Ash's cup ramen and tastes it. His reaction is quite...interesting to look at.
* The duration of Slowking's shell being knocked onto Ash, Goh, Pikachu and Raboot.
** One of the effects of wearing Slowking’s shell is to suddenly adopt a British (Galarian?) accent. Yes, this includes Pikachu and Raboot.
* Goh's Magikarp enters orbit during the first half of the episode, and both Ash and Goh mourn his disappearance, only for them to return by crashing into the group during the Slowking fiasco and [[BrickJoke saving the day]].
* At the end of the episode, James goes to the door in similar fashion at the beginning and is met by Kosuking, and after a few seconds of blankly smiling he promptly shuts the door without warning.

[[AC: [=JN027=]]]
* Ash shouting from his seat in the audience to tell Leon about the promise to fight again while Goh is embarrassed.
* Sonia going into CutenessProximity with Pikachu and Raboot to the point of ''squeezing their ears'' in delight.
* The Galarian Farfetch'd (Japanese name Kamonegi) being able to say two words... [[GratuitousEnglish Come On.]]
* During the fight with the Galarian Farfetch'd, Ash starts cheering both Riolu ''and'' the Farfetch'd to stand up and keep fighting, much to Goh's confusion. [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/869/721/a2a.jpg Riolu's reaction]], as he's witnessing his trainer encourage the very Pokemon he's fighting, is also a sight to behold.
* The first thing Galarian Farfetch'd does after Ash lets him out of the Pokeball is to continue his fight with Riolu. Everyone is okay with this.

[[AC: [=JN028=]]]
* The two Farfetch'd fighting each other after their food disappears.
* When Sobble managed to seemingly run away and escape, Goh throws a Poké Ball to a fountain out of frustration. Only to hit the invisible Sobble hiding there and actually managed to catch it to the surprise of everyone!
* Each time Sobble's cry causes Ash, Goh, Team Rocket and their Pokemon to cry
** Goh's Raboot always turning his back so no one can see him crying.
* In the flashback Team Rocket had, even their Balloon disliked the conditions they had to suffer through after being blown off-course.

[[AC: [=JN029=]]]
* Chloe getting embarrassed that one of her mother's illustrations is a chibi version of her with her bed head. Talia immediately tries to lie that the image is ''[[BlatantLies not]]'' based on Chloe at all.
** The fact that Pidove goes crazy over the illustration. Turns out because its trainer also has curly hair.
* Goh needing Ash's help to figure out where Sobble is. They quickly find a humongous crowd of Pokemon -- including Ash's Dragonite and ''Goh's Golurk'' -- bawling their eyes out.
** In a flashback, he assumes that Sobble turned invisible while trying to eat cake, but it was Mr. Mime using Psychic to troll him.
* Goh's disdain after the Fearow -- whom Chloe attacked with Yamper -- flies away because he now can't capture it.

[[AC: [=JN030=]]]
* During Delia's visit, in the background Chloe finds herself perplexed by Mr. Mime's eccentric behaviour, and later her own father has the same reaction watching them pour nothing into Delia's cup.
* On their way to Pallet Town, Mr. Mime is trying different ways to hitchhike but fails. It takes Pikachu ''shaking its butt'' to finally have a woman give them a ride.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=JN031 to JN040=]]]

[[AC: [=JN031=]]]
* Raboot giving just a [[DeathGlare stare]] at Jinny's friends that frightens them into running away.
* The sudden shock everyone has when they realized that Jinny doesn't know how to swim.
* The start of Feebas's training where it runs into every obstacle and gets stuck in the loop, much to Ash and Goh's shock and dismay.
* Goh getting distracted and catching a Wingull on the way to Slateport which bothers the rest of the group.
* The two women insulting Jinny for using a Feebas in the challenge and calling it ugly before they are confronted by a [[BigSisterInstinct very pissed off Chloe]] who is kept at bay by her brother.

[[AC: [=JN032=]]]
* Upon arriving in their lodge, the first thing Goh's parents do is fall asleep on the couch, much to his embarrassment. Then when the flashback begins the Goh from the previous visit three years ago is upset at them for doing exactly the same thing.
* Seeing Goh and Tokio being chased by all the wild Pokemon in Johto is chuckle-worthy.

[[AC: [=JN033=]]]
* When Jessie and James send a Scolipede and Drapion after Ash, Goh and Kylie, the two Pokemon get distracted Kylie's Kricketina Treat, much to their dismay.
* When, in response to their two Pokemon sent over being unable to act, Team Rocket capture Ash, Kylie, Pikachu, Raboot, and Sobble in a net, Sobble starts to cry, causing the usual OcularGushers from the other four.
** When Goh saves the day by defeating Team Rocket, Ash, Kylie, Pikachu and Raboot are still bawling their eyes out ''while trapped in the net.''
** The aftermath when the four are free consists of Ash looking embarassed, Kylie cleaning her glasses and Pikachu and Raboot trying to comfort Sobble.
* Pinsir getting a major crush on Kylie's Heracross is chuckle considering acts like a SmittenTeenageGirl complete with sparkly eyes, while still retaining its species menacing appearance.
* Kylie trying to hug Goh's Pinsir that makes it so uncomfortable that it throws her off. She does it again once she has her own Pinsir only to be once again been thrown off by her former Heracross.
* Goh asks Kylie if she's really okay with trading away her Heracross. She responds by showing off that she's got ''five more Heracross'' (who all pop out of their Pokéballs in a team pose).

[[AC: [=JN034=]]]
* The second Ash opens the door to the dojo, a Hitmonchan flies out and knocks him over.

[[AC: [=JN035=]]]
* The first thing Goh does after catching his own Pikachu is cuddling it, but ends up getting zapped like many others before him. However, unlike them, his Pikachu enjoyed it and seemed to zap him out of affection.
* Ash's Pikachu physically ''leaps'' away in abject terror at the sight of Goh's Pikachu with a Thunderstone and spends several minutes ''running away from Goh's Pikachu'' as fast as he physically can. They then end up behind a rock where light shines with a Raichu jumping out, except that it turns out to be just a wild Raichu who just evolved and that Ash's Pikachu is still running away. Eventually, Ash's Pikachu picks the one safe place that Goh's Pikachu ''can't'' get him... his usual safe spot - Ash's head!
** The look of abject ''fury'' on Pikachu's face at Goh's suggestion that he could evolve. Ash tells Goh why Pikachu doesn't want to evolve, while Pikachu sits on Ash's head, ''glaring daggers at Goh for the suggestion.'' If looks could kill...
* The first thing Goh's Pikachu does upon seeing Team Rocket is giving them berries, causing Goh to quickly grab her back. For the record, during this scene, Team Rocket was on the top of a cliff which Goh ran up and down in a matter of seconds.
* Team Rocket is excited that they captured Ash's Pikachu alongside the other wild Pikachu...before immediately realizing [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles they can't tell which one is him]], forcing them to use a claw machine to pick and choose. What's more, when Meowth asks for Ash's Pikachu to reveal himself, [[{{Troll}} none of the Pikachu make it easy]].
* After the boys defeat Team Rocket, Goh's Raichu runs over to hug Ash's Pikachu but she accidentally knocks him over.
* Pikachu declining a second berry from Raichu but she is very persient.
* The end when Raichu is chasing Pikachu and Raboot is chuckle-worthy.
* As adorable as the scene is - and, let's be clear, you ''will'' squee at the cuteness of the moment - Ash feeding Pikachu has the two of them making ''incredibly silly faces together''.

[[AC: [=JN036=]]]
* Ash still suffering a HeroicBSOD after losing two Matches and going back to Normal Class so Goh has to drag him out of the institute.
* The smug grins Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Riolu and Raboot all have when putting their goggles on.
* Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Riolu and Raboot all freaking out after Sobble puts its goggles on while invisible (so they are floating in the air).
* Sobble is about to set off its OcularGushers after losing to Flygon so Goh has to quickly return it to its ball.

[[AC: [=JN037=]]]
* Lei smacking Ash on the face, causing Professor Burnet to tell him to stop and the fact that, seemingly, Ash ''doesn't care in the slightest because Lei is '''adorable.'''''
* Most of Ash's Alolan Pokemon running over to cuddle him to welcome him back. His Pokemon then run over and cuddle Goh, much to his surprise.
** During the cuddle, Lycanroc is trying to bite Sobble's head as if it's a ball.
** The fact that Goh, who wants to capture all Pokémon doesn't realize how Ash has a newly discovered Mystical Pokémon and Lycanroc with an evolution that's seemingly one-of-a-kind.
*** The fact that you can actually ''see'' Ash's Pokemon all simultaneously coming to the same conclusion and idea before glomping Goh. Even Rowlet, who is normally as dumb as a plank, comes to the same conclusion as quickly as the others do.
* Raboot poking a Pyukumuku with its feet only to end up annoying it enough for it to shoot out its innards out to it. Raboot's expression during this is hilarious.
* Goh getting distracted while chasing a Grubbin that he and Raboot fall off a cliff and into the ocean, only to get fished out by Lana.
* Rotomdex getting very annoyed at Ash's Rotomphone.
* Goh's nervousness and awkward encounters upon meeting Mallow, Lana and Sophocles are chuckle-worthy.
** Kiawe's reaction upon learning that Goh is not Ash's rival.
* The meek way that Goh says "Alola" is certainly worth a chuckle.
* Raboot's reaction upon being picked up by Kiawe's Marowak is also hilarious.
* Pikachu isn't paying any attention to Lillie's letter - he's trapped in Ash's arms and desperately reaching for the tasty food on the plate in front of him.
** Speaking of which, when it cuts to the scene of all the Pokémon eating, Melmetal is devouring a steel pipe and Rowlet is ''uncontrollably stuffing his face''.

[[AC: [=JN038=]]]
* Ash and Goh having to drag Chloe with them out of the Cerise Institute when going to collect fossils. Then they have to drag her along again to the entrance of the area.
** While Ash and Goh are gushing over all the Fossil Pokémon, Chloe just stands in the middle of them awkwardly.
* They don't even get to see the Shieldon that the advertisement showed -- the line was stretching out to the entrance.
* When Goh calls Golurk out to help with excavating the fossils, it chooses a tiny pebble to start with instead of the huge boulder that's half its size.
* While the group is asleep, Pikachu is curled up on the pillow and Ash's head is dropping out of the bed as he's snoring.
* James's Graveler is so focused on chasing Pikachu, it doesn't notice Pikachu's Electroweb -- while [[NoSell not affected by any damage it would have caused]], the force of running into it catapults back into Team Rocket, causing them to blast off.

[[AC: [=JN039=]]]
* About two seconds after Chuck says the sweets are probably not Bea's thing, she and her Pokemon are already digging into them.
** Ash and Goh's reaction to Bea enjoying the sweets with them, in contrast to her stoic attitude in the fight.
** Bea's respect for Ash has increased slightly...she now calls him "Riolu's Trainer".

[[AC: [=JN040=]]]
* Ash's attempt at fixing the snow cone machine only causes it to malfunction more and shoot ice all over himself, Goh, Pikachu and Raboot.
* The second Goh leads Ash into the Power Plant, James crashes right into him.
* When Team Rocket uses the Rocket Prize Master so they can join Ash and Goh in a raid battle, Jessie is lucky enough to receive a Rhydon while James is given a Stunfisk much to their disdain.
* When Jessie and James call their Pokemon to attack, Rhydon starts attacking the walls while Stunfisk attacks the power generator, much to their confusion and annoyance.
** On top of that, when Jessie scolds Rhydon for attacking the walls instead of Zapdos, it charges at her instead.
* When Goh tells his Pokemon to attack Zapdos before it can get away, they are both too tired, much to his dismay.

[[folder:[=JN041 to JN050=]]]
[[AC: [=JN041=]]]
* Jessie and James trying to help a sick Meowth have so many chuckle-worthy moments.
* Goh's attempt at catching the trapped Marshtomp in a Pokeball fails, causing a further freak out from him and Ash.
* Pikachu almost falling over when carrying a huge leaf of water so Ash takes it off him, only for him to trip and spill it.
* The end where after Ash and Goh free the trapped Marshtomp, they return to find it and all the other Marshtomp are now trapped in the dried up ground.

[[AC: [=JN042=]]]
* Ash and Goh's reaction to the wild Bunnelby sneaking up on the stalled train and snagging one of their snacks.
* Goh and Sonia freaking out when they suddenly reunite on the road.
* Goh's panicking towards Sonia's reckless driving, notably when Sonia's driving she has her tongue poking out.


[[AC: [=JN043=]]]
* Ash's stomach growling during his chat with Rose and Leon about the Dynamaxed Pokemon running rampant. They both simply laugh it off while Ash is slightly embarrassed.
* The sudden DeathGlare that Oleana gives to Ash is worth a laugh.

[[AC: [=JN044=]]]
* When Sonia steps on the gas to get herself and Goh away from Oleana's subordinates, the car does a burnout, much to their dismay.

[[AC: [=JN045=]]]
* Rose and Oleana's reactions upon being defeated.
** Rose's expression when watching the Darkest Day is pretty funny in contrast to Oleana's stoic.
* Ash and Goh's contrasting reactions to Cinderace (awe to the point you could tell the rabbit wanted some personal space) and Lucario (complete shock) when they meet back up.
* The sudden pause Ash and Goh have when they realize they captured Eternatus.
* Raihan's shocked reaction to Kommo-o reverting to its normal size.
** Before that, he wanted to ask Sonia out on a date if the current situation wasn't going on.

[[AC: [=JN046=]]]
* Ash and Goh running from a swarm of Mankeys.
* The look on Ash and Goh's faces before they are struck by Gyarados's Hydro Pump.

[[AC: [=JN047=]]]
* Chrysa being absolutely enthusiastic about the eating contest the entire episode, quite a stark contrast to just an aide who is only there in the background.
* Despite being the one who brought up the competition in the first place, Professor Cerise acts as the OnlySaneMan for the episode, contrasting Ash and Chloe's interest and being shocked by Chrysa's fanaticism.
* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Pikachu pretend eating]] while watching the competition.
* Dragonite licking Ash's face like a big puppy.
* Ash's Dragonite is revealed to have stopped eating, eliminating him from the competition. Turns out it's a light eater for its size.
* Many of the other competitors have a few laughs of their own:
** Bisharp slicing the berries into smaller pieces, but it gets a bit into it and ''slices the table and dishes''.
** A Hydreigon using its additional heads to eat... but it gets full quickly. As Meowth noted, [[RealityEnsues it has three heads, yet one stomach]].
** The Rookies looking in horror at how Skwovet can keep eating since it knew Bullet Seed to empty its stomach.
* Morpeko and Skwovet diving into Team Rocket's bloating cookies, much to their dismay. However, Morpeko is seemingly unaffected while Skwovet deflates and recovers really quickly (compared to the other four Pokemon).
* Goh having a secret technique for Skwovet to keep on eating: squeeze ''[[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Tamato berry juice]]'' onto a tart and reset its palette with a new taste so it could continue eating it.
* Morpeko's opponent in the second round is a Glalie who uses its Freeze-Dry to ''completely freeze its dish''. This means that it has to essentially eat a giant block of ice before it continues onto the next round.
* In the final round, both Goh's Skwovet and Team Rocket's Morpeko are capable of eating the Torchic-based manju... the current champion (a Blaziken), however? Absolutely paralyzed at the idea of eating something so cute, never mind the fact that they're in the shape of its ''[[ImAHumanitarian first form]]'' (punctuated by a RebusBubble as Pikachu remembers the Torchic line). So the Blaziken gathers the little Torchic desserts into ity claws and walks off. Despite this, Chryssa is just eating it all up.
** Earlier in the competition, this same Blaziken manages to out-eat a Snorlax... which would be more impressive if the food given to it wasn't something spicy that [[PlayingWithFire its taste buds could likely shake right off]] like curry.
* Just when Team Rocket is about to win, Morpeko switches into its Full Belly mode (indicating it ''finally'' wants to stop eating) and causes them to blast off with an Aura Wheel. When do they land? [[HereWeGoAgain Straight back into Hangry mode.]]
* By the end of the contest, [[NotSoAboveItAll Chloe]] is just as enthusiastic as Chrysa.

[[AC: [=JN048=]]]
* Cinderace tries to share ice cream with Lucario and accidentally smooshes it into its face, leading to a very heated conflict between them.
** Then, at the end, Cinderace is given doughnuts from Goh and tries to share them with Lucario, [[HereWeGoAgain only to smoosh it into Lucario's face again and seriously enrage it.]]
* The moments of Cinderace and Lucario being stuck together and being flung all over the place alongside Team Rocket.
** Also seeing them battle against Sawk and Throh while stuck together has its funny moments.
** Their strategy to take turns spinning each other around is especially funny. Especially Lucario's and Cincerace's reaction to being spun.
* When blasting off, Team Rocket discovers [[AllForNothing they captured the decoy Pikachu instead of Ash's at the end.]]
* Near the end, how fat Ash has gotten in contrast to Goh after dining on all the desserts from Goh's prize.
* Cinderace and Lucario run over to Ash and Go to tell them about Pikachu, [[ItWasWithYouAllAlong only to find he was sitting with the group the whole time.]]

[[AC: [=JN049=]]]
* When Goh brings Sobble to the playground, it immediately starts bawling. Goh then calls out Cinderace to pacify it while he goes takes his test.
* When Ash is calling for Pikachu to stop Team Rocket, all you see is his arms sticking out of the pit.

[[AC: [=JN050=]]]
* While Yamper is getting his belly rubbed by Chloe, Eevee also wishes to do so, so she stands on her hind legs...and promptly somersaults and lands on her stomach.
* Eevee's reaction towards the large Boldore.
* When Eevee helps Chloe to dust off the fossil, she gets too carried away and accidentally covers them both in dust.
* While Chloe is making whipped cream, some of it splashes on Eevee's face when she goes to watch.
* Ash, Goh, Chloe and Cara Liss's reactions towards the whipped cream curry when it's done.
** This is taken up a notch when they reluctantly take a bite and end up really enjoying it.
** Ash, Goh, Pikachu and Cinderace all have bulging bellies after finishing their curry.
* Ash's excited face at seeing Arctozolt in contrast to Goh and Chloe looking unimpressed.
* When Ash tries to introduce itself to Dracovish, it's response is to chase and try to eat him.
** When chasing Ash and Pikachu, Dracovish uses Water Gun that hits Arctozolt, angering it and causing it to use Icy Wind and causing major chaos for everyone.
** The drama with Dracovish ends with Ash and Pikachu riding it running right into Arctozolt, knocking them both out and Ash and Goh over.

[[folder:[=JN051 to JN060=]]]


[[AC: [=JN051=]]]
* Ash getting hit by Farfetch'd twice in the episode. The first time at the Cerise Institute when training his Pokemon. The second time in Rock Tunnel where he tries to encourage Farfetch'd to work with him to become a Leek Master, only for him to be hit and thrown into a rock wall.
* Goh running over to Ash after he's hit by Farfetch'd, but only to tell him of the Pokemon Geodude and him wanting to catch one.
* The end of the episode has Ash and Pikachu wielding leeks to help with Farfetch'd wanting to be a "Leek Master".


[[AC: [=JN052=]]]

** Chloe jokingly imagining Ash being sucked into the Poke Ball when it hits him.
* Jessie, James and Wobuffett are all dozing off, forcing Meowth to do all the hard work.


[[AC: [=JN053=]]]
* Just the idea that Goh can capture ''Suicune'' can give you a laugh considering how tough it is to normally capture a Legendary. Even the preview has Ash and Goh wondering what just happened.
* The Pokemon hunters are all trapped in a block of ice when they're arrested by Officer Jenny.

[[AC: [=JN054=]]]
* When all the Pokemon are playing with toy balls in the Cerise Institute, Geodude and Mankey are fighting over one.

** He is still asleep after the battle and they have to carry him away.

* The surprise water gun attack Darmanitan receives at the end, courtesy of Sobble.

[[AC: [=JN055=]]]
* Eevee not paying attention and walking right into a mushroom. Though this helps Ash, Goh and chloe to discover that the mushrooms glow when touched.
* Pikachu and Eevee playing on the mushrooms in the background while Chloe is explaining about the Glimwood Tangle from the story she read.
* Ash and Goh's reactions when they encounter Opal have plenty of funny moments.
** Pikachu and Cinderace are frozen in fear, even when Ash and Goh calm down.
** Poor Ash and Goh getting Opal's questions wrong and are forced to wear pink clothing.
** The look of embarrassment when they are shown their new pink outfits.
** Cinderace seems to be the only one who admires its new pink outfit.
* Chloe and Eevee have their share of funny moments when dealing with the Impidimp.
** When Chloe chases after the three Impidimp, she falls into a pit they set up for her.
** The three Impidimp drinking the water from her canister and spraying it all over her, Eevee and Ponyta's faces.
** The Impidimp start throwing berries at Chloe and Eevee, resulting in a massive food fight between the Impidimp and Chloe, Eevee and Ponyta.
** Eevee's tactics of imitating everything the Impidimp do to fight back, which somehow manages to work.

[[caption-width-right:350:Not the best of first impressions for our intrepid young hero. With Pikachu, you'd think he'd be used to this by now...]]

!!Episodes

[[foldercontrol]]

!!In General
* The second opening has Goh and Ash taking selfies with Leon and Raihan. One photo has Sobble about to cry and another has Dragonite blocking the lens as he's about to ''hug everyone''.
* The third opening has many scenes of Goh, Ash and Chloe riding alongside ''[[NoSenseOfDirection Leon]]'' in a Charizard based car. And in many scenes, you can actually see Leon reading a map trying to figure out where to go next.

[[folder:[=JN001 to JN010=]]]
[[AC:[=JN001=]]]
* As usual, young Ash oversleeps on the day of Pokémon summer camp. Apparently, Ash has been doing that for ''years''. Who'd'a thunk?
* Also, seeing Goh's reaction to Mew appearing and casually attacking a Nidoking with ''Earthquake''.

[[AC:[=JN002=]]]
* Not even a Thunderbolt from Pikachu is able to wake Ash in the morning. One can't help but wonder... Just ''how frequently does Pikachu have to wake Ash up by shocking him'' that Ash has become ''immune'' to it?
* Ash finds Yamper at the entrance of Cerise Institute, and takes firm hold of the IdiotBall due to CutenessProximity, [[AndCallHimGeorge grabbing Yamper and snuggling him]]. Naturally, much like Pikachu would, Yamper zaps him. Then Chloe arrives, and finds Ash zapped and unconscious on the steps. She nervously sidesteps his body, and continues up the steps.
** As a result of this, an early RunningGag is going to be Yamper not liking Ash.
* Ash going off to find Lugia, but he forgot to get directions. As a result, he winds up at a road blocked by Snorlax.
* A mild version of CrashIntoHello: When Lugia tries to escape its battle with Ash, he jumps and catches onto it. They just happen to be passing Goh, who also jumps and grabs onto its tail. Ash and Goh catch sight of each other in shock.
-->'''Both:''' HUH?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!!
* When Cerise grants Ash and Goh their fellowships at the Cerise Institute and shows them to their dorm room, they promptly fight over the top bunk.
* Cerise takes it upon himself to give Goh a starter Pokémon, since he doesn't have one yet. Goh declines the Kanto starters, stating he wants Mew as his starter.

[[AC:[=JN003=]]]
* The episode begins with Ash and Goh asleep in their bunks, and mumbling to each other to get up in their sleep. Pikachu, also asleep, also joins in. Then Mimey comes in, while miming using a vacuum cleaner, and its mimed vacuum cleaner [[YourMimeMakesItReal sucks the sheets off their beds, waking them up]].
* Ash and Goh immediately think to climb up a brick wall to follow an Ivysaur that pulled itself over with its vines. Goh tells Ash to stop copying him, but has difficulty climbing the wall, while Ash gets over it easily. Ash would spend the rest of the episode helping Goh climb stuff.
* Goh is annoyed when Ash and Pikachu imitate the Ivysaur by laying on the roof of the the under-construction Pokémon Gym, both of them looking utterly blissful and happy. [[NotSoAboveItAll But eventually joins in]].
* Goh has heard of the Team Rocket Trio, but doesn't believe they really have a talking Meowth. Then he finds that rumor is true and goes full CameraFiend, much to Meowth's irritation.
* When Chloe returns, she says she was late because [[RealityEnsues she had to clean up all the flowers that suddenly bloomed at school]] after the mass evolution of all the Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. Ash and Goh laugh.

[[AC:[=JN004=]]]
* Mimey manages to prank Goh by miming getting breakfast.
* When Ash tries to make amends with Scorbunny after the Pokémon stole his food, it gives him a LiteralAssKicking, prompting Pikachu to shock it (and Ash, inadvertently).

[[AC:[=JN005=]]]
* To search for the Dynamax phenomenon, Ash and Goh are told to look for the red lights (meaning the red beams denoting raid battles). Ash then gets distracted by a red railroad warning light.
* Scorbunny attempts to get Ash and Goh's attention whilst the duo are trying to figure out how to get a berry to fall down for Snorlax to eat it. Scorbunny gets annoyed, and resorts to kicking a rock at Goh... only to end up sniping Ash in the back of the head with it.
* When Goh finally decides to catch Scorbunny, he throws a Poké Ball...and completely misses. Scorbunny catches up to it, kicks it around, then catches itself.
* Really, Scorbunny tends to be a walking CMOF in most of the scenes that it's in. From the montage of it trying to make its way back to the Wild Area, to the mini temper tantrum it throws at the end of the episode when Pikachu and Yamper aren't giving it any attention as the latter two play with each other.
* After the combined efforts of our heroes finally gets the Gigantamaxed Snorlax to jump, the impact of it landing back on the ground causes the ground to bounce and shake for quite the distance, freaking out a herd of Wooloo. A couple of scenes later, said Wooloo have all passed out from the shock.

[[AC:[=JN006=]]]
* This episode proves that, this time around, ''Ash'' is the competent one. Brock and Misty would be proud.
* At the end of the episode, Goh declares his new goal of catching as many Pokemon as possible until he catches Mew. Goh then asks Ash what his goal is, and he responds with his usual line of becoming a Pokemon Master. Chloe asks him if he means to become the best Pokémon Trainer, to which Ash responds that it’s so much bigger than that, leaving Chloe unsure of what he means.
* The final scene of all the Bug-types crowded in Ash and Goh's room.

[[AC: [=JN007=]]]
* Mr. Mime is apparently giving lessons to Goh, Professor Cerise and Chloe in martial arts. When Goh asks if he is doing it right, Mr. Mime says to follow Metapod as an example, leaving everyone flabbergasted.
* While Yamper and Scorbunny are playing around, Scorbunny accidentally kicks Metapod into a large rock and makes a nasty crunch noise. Everyone is worried, but the professor is mistakenly more worried about the rock than Metapod. When Goh picks up Metapod to check on him, Scorbunny is in shock at what he's done.
* When Ash and Goh arrive in Hoenn, Ash makes it clear that he intends to enter the Pokemon Tournament that is being held, and he plans to use Mimey. Goh is skeptical of it, but Mimey gives this epic look that screams "Do you doubt me, child?".
** Mimey's expression [[ContinuityNod is doubtlessly inspired by]] ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu''.
** Come the actual fight it we see against a Hariyama, it utterly curbstomps it. When declared the winner, Mr. Mime acts all cocky afterwards. Until the second fight is Hodge's Mightyena, into which after giving the same look it gave Goh, he throws in the towel. Showing how he's clearly aware of how type-advantages work.
** It gets even funnier when you remember that Mr. Mime is also a fairy type, meaning it did have a type advantage over Mightyena. Not to mention Mimey just used Focus Punch, a fighting type move which would have been very effective. Mimey chickened out for no reason!
* Goh is out on his catching-mania once he spots a Taillow, hoping it would lead him to more bug-types to add to his growing collection. He somehow ends up sneaking up right behind a resting Mightyena (later revealed to be Hodge's), thinking of it as a bush, and then earn its ire when Scorbunny tears a strand of its fur clean off its bottom (by accident). Their faces makes it amusingly clear how ''badly'' they messed up.
** On Goh's way to catch Tailow, he crawls towards it like a caterpillar, catching the eye of a mother and her baby.
* Before Goh left for Hoenn, he was deciding which of his Bug types were a good fit for battle. He looked at Pinsir and thought about it, but then the Pinsir just looked away nervously. Scyther more or less egged Goh on to choose him.
* Hodge's EstablishingCharacterMoment: He rides on top of Hariyama, looking down on Ash...and promptly asks Ash to move to the side so he can put his empty water bottle into the proper recycling bin. He then has Hariyama lean down so he can drop it...and smacks his face right into the lid.
** At the end of the episode, he does this again (only this time to congratulate Ash for the battle). And yes, he does fall off Hariyama.

[[AC:[=JN008=]]]
* This episode reaffirms how Ash works with Pokemon as, when a school of Tentacool appears, Ash ''pokes one to see its squishiness''. The annoyed Tentacool gives him a Bubble Beam to the face.
** Goh decides to catch the strongest-looking Tentacool. He throws a Poké Ball at it, only for the Tentacool to quickly dodge to the side, letting another Tentacool (which was ''sleeping'') be caught. Despite being surprised, Goh is okay with it.
* There's something funny about a Croagunk, a marsh-dwelling Pokémon that isn't a Water-type, swimming in the frigid seas of Snowpoint City. One has to wonder how it even got there in the first place.
* The RunningGag of Lauren losing her glasses. Ash and Goh aren't even surprised when she says that was how she first met Piplup and Croagunk. And at the end of the episode, that's how she meets a Psyduck.
* Goh enters his newly caught Mantyke into the race. When at the starting line, it has an expression that says "I am ''not'' in the mood for this."

[[AC:[=JN010=]]]
* Goh [[CrazyPrepared packed his backpack with Poké Balls to catch Dragonite]]...but [[EpicFail wastes them all on a single Dewgong]].
** Said Dewgong falls in love with a female, spurring it to swim faster. He is left heartbroken at never been able to find her again throughout the episode.
** The fact Goh doesn't realize he'd blown his entire stock of Poké Balls until ''after'' they reach the island while trying to catch a Dragonite. He goes [[ColorFailure white in shock]] processing having no Poké Balls left.
* Ash lampshades how Dragonite stands out compared to its pre-evotions Dratini and Dragonair. Goh agrees with him, considering how the evolution line goes, one would expect the final evolution to be a Pokémon like Milotic.
* The sight of Dragonite shooting a Hyper Beam at Team Rocket so up close that he's practically shooting them in the face.
* Ash's Dragonite being quite the hugger. It hugs Ash to request that it goes with him and then hugs Professor Cerise as thanks for keeping Dragonite Island secret.
* In a meta-example: the sheer fact that Ash's first capture in the series is a ''Pseudo-legendary'' instead of the regional bird is enough to make one laugh at the absurdity of it all. But then again, since all of the birds are Flying-type -- which Dragonite also is -- it continues the trend one of Ash's first captures being Flying-type!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:[=JN011 to JN020=]]]

[[AC: [=JN011=]]]
* Goh's Wurmple all evolve at the same time...into three Cascoon.
* Goh's Stantler and Scyther looking terrified at Ash's Dragonite, whose entire upper body is cast in shadow, looking like it wants to murder them...and then proceed to be absolutely happy when the dragon gives them a big hug.

[[AC: [=JN012=]]]
* Professor Cerise hands out two tickets to the Galar Championship-finals to Ash and Goh. Goh can barely contain himself in excitement. [[IdiotHero Ash]] on other hand...
-->'''Ash''': [[AskAStupidQuestion What is this?]]\\
(''Cue FaceFault from Goh and Scorbunny.'')
** Made even funnier that Ash, the ''Alola League Champion'', wasn't even notified about this at all!
* The Team Rocket Trio, all fired up after witnessing a Galar Championship-Dynamax battle, spots a Drednaw lumbering out from the bushes and decides to catch it on the spot, summoning their "Team Rocket-Gacha" for something to fight with... only to get a ''Bellsprout'' for the job. Cue FaceFault from the Trio.
** Their Pok&edex doesn't bother with the in-depth details of Pok&emon, just going "etc., etc." after the species and type for Drednaw.
*** In the dub, it sounds like a little kid with ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
---->'''Pokédex:''' Dwednaw: da bite Pokémon! A water and rock type, and I don't--I don't know...
** When Drednaw becomes Gigantamax, Bellsprout pulls a ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandoning Team Rocket to the vengeful turtle's wrath.

[[AC: [=JN013=]]]
* Gigantamax Pikachu having some ''real'' troubles with getting used to its new size, staggering around like a drunk the first time just to stay upright, and repeatedly trying to jump in the air out of habit when unleashing an electric attack, only to drop back down to the ground like a giant fluffy marshmallow when gravity objects to the idea.
* Goh tries to explain to Ash ''why'' it's not so easy to challenge the Champion of Galar right off the path, delivering an elaborate pyramid-diagram and the full exposition on how many trainers Ash needs to beat just to get a ''chance'' to challenge the champion. Only for Leon to show up right afterwards just to tell Ash that he accepts his challenge and is ready to go in that very moment. Cue massive disbelief and a freak-out from Goh over what just happened.
* The Rocket Trio, after having escaped the wrath of Gigantamax Drednaw and searched for it the whole night and day after once it shrunk back down, are so exhausted that Jessie's BerserkButton doesn't even get pushed when a Chewtle is found chomping on her hair in the search's aftermath.
** Their "Rocketdex" delivers another sarcastic remark when used on Chewtle.

[[AC: [=JN014=]]]
* All of Dragonite's scenes can be chalked up to this.
** The first thing it does is cuddle Keira the female excavator [[{{Keet}} excitedly]], and she has to tell the dragon to calm down, to which it does somersaults of joy.
** When Ash is sand-surfing across the desert, Dragonite swerves past Goh and his Beedrill before flying so high that Ash ''rides off a sand dune, screaming for dear life''.
** As Ash catches his breath, Dragonite is [[FunnyBackgroundEvent doing loop-de-loops in excitement]]
** And when Ash decides to recall Dragonite, Dragonite just gives a pout that says, "But I was just getting started!"
* When Karamari enthusiastically states his intention to fill the Pok&edex entirely with Shiny Pok&emon, Ash, Goh, and one of the excavators that's guiding them through the ruins start BackingAwaySlowly.
* The fact that Ash has Pikachu use an Electric attack on a Sandile...forgetting that as he has a Krookadile, that it wouldn't work.
* Scorbunny attempts to attack the giant Golurk. Keyword "attempt". The Golurk simply flicked Scorbunny like a fly.

[[AC: [=JN015=]]]
* Scorbunny is so excited to see Goh's home that he carries Goh all the way to the bus leading to the city and leaves Ash and Pikachu behind.
* Goh unleashes his Pokémon on hand -- Scyther, Beedrill, Butterfree and Taillow -- and all of them huddle, shivering in the cold.
** Goh's Scyther gets pelted by snowballs by three Geodude. Scyther gets angry and starts chasing them.

[[AC: [=JN016=]]]
* Professor Cerise reveals he knew the building was haunted by the Gengar from the contractor. Why he still bought the building anyway? Because he thought it'd be fun.
** A flashback then shows Gengar attempting to annoy Cerise by constantly slamming the door open and closed. Cerise just continues working, eventually causing Gengar to give up, but not before properly closing the door.
* All of the bad luck jinxes that Gengar gives Ash:
** He and Goh climb upstairs but Ash stumbles and has to grab onto Goh's ass. This was, for the curious, kept in the dub.
** He tries to sprinkle Parmesan cheese onto a plate of pasta Mr. Mime cooked for him, only for nothing to spill out...and then all of its contents are dumped onto his plate.
** He gets run over by a parade of Goh's Pokémon (And Dragonite!)
** By the time Ash gets his foot stuck in a hole...he flips out and starts screaming before running out of the laboratory, to the surprise and befuddlement of Gengar, still in his shadow.

[[AC: [=JN017=]]]
* After being egg'd on by a Darmanitan that is doubting he even is a fire-type, Scorbunny's response is a fireball...the size of a pinky nail.
* While out looking for Pokémon, Goh ends up finding and trying to catch a Pelipper, specifically, the one that delivers Team Rocket's Gachat Machine.
* James's secret agenty effort to enter their hideout was for the purpose of ''returning with potato chips''.
** Goh gives chase, but the Pelipper escapes via the Trio's new secret base entrance, disguised as a phone booth. Goh loses sight and turns his attention to the phone booth, [[WhatAreRecords left questioning what it is.]]
** Goh goes into the booth... at the same time the Trio is going out, causing them to all get stuck in the booth.
** Once they all get unstuck, Goh questions what they were doing in the box, and the Trio realizes he doesn't even know what a phone booth is.
---> '''Meowth''': Kids these days don't know what phone booths are, meow!
** It becomes funny on a Meta level on the fact that the anime started in the late '90s when phone booths were still used. Then ComicBookTime comes into play, with this episode coming out in 2020.
* In pointing out that the phone booth was too conspicuous, James [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud accidentally spills to Goh that the phone booth is the entrance to their secret base.]]
** Then Team Rocket gets ready to attack Goh, only for Pelipper to be delayed and come out of the phone booth entrance. Goh notes that it's the same one from before, and Meowth puts two and two together and realizes the Pelipper blew their cover. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Pelipper quickly flies off and drops the Gachat once it gets away from the trio.]]

[[AC: [=JN020=]]]
* After Goh spots a Farfetch'd, he throws a Poké Ball at it, only for Farfetch'd to use its leek to bat the Ball back at him, hitting him in the face. And then when he encounters it again later, the Ball is once again batted back onto his face. On the third try, Goh psyches it out first, allowing him to successfully hit it with a Poké Ball while it is unable to fight back, and subsequently catch it.
** Goh's newly caught Pidgey, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ cuddling up to Chloe, which freaks her out.

[[AC: [=JN021=]]]
* Goh is excited to find some Pokémon eggs...but it turns out that it's an Exeggcute instead.
* At the Pokémon Center, Pikachu is getting an alcohol cotton swab on his tail and he's in immense pain, likely trying not to instinctively shock Nurse Joy. This is ''after'' going toe-to-toe with a Tauros using Iron Head, mind you.
* Ash introduces Riolu's egg to Dragonite, who immediately wants to cuddle it. Ash has to say no, else Dragonite would crack it. Dragonite instead just hugs Pikachu.
** On the plus side - normally when you hug Pikachu he sparks, unless you're Ash. Apparently, Pikachu ''approves of Dragonite hugs.''
* When Goh makes a remark of the Riolu not able to hear Ash, Professor Cerise mentions the tale of an Azurill who hatched after listening to a Jigglypuff sing and sang right back, causing the Jigglypuff to sleep. Goh then immediately apologizes while Raboot has an expression that screams "Really?"

[[AC: [=JN022=]]]
* When Goh and Ash discuss the Beautifly migrating patterns and how they ride the tailwind, Ash thinks it would be more fun to go against the headwind. Go then has a brief ImagineSpot of Ash as a Beautifly [[note]] As in, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EV-hAUoXYAgyBo1.jpg a Beautifly with Ash's face]][[/note]] and when it ends, Go seems to be rather unnerved at the image of ''that''.
** Even in an ImagineSpot, Ash is still a {{Determinator}} who won't give up.
* When Raboot makes peace with Goh by offering him an apple and then having some of it itself, it [[WhenSheSmiles betrays a smile on the usually-hidden portion of its face]]. When Goh notices, [[UnmanlySecret Raboot tries to hide the smile]] before getting joyfully glomped by Goh.
-->'''Goh:''' You smiled...\\
(''Raboot turns away, wraps its ears around its faceguard, and [[BlushSticker blushes]] indignantly'')

[[AC: [=JN023=]]]
* It is kinda amusing to see how crazy Goh's Pokemon get when searching for food and turning against each other.
** Goh's Sandile looks like it comes close to eating Goh's Oddish.
** Goh's Farfetch'd gets so hungry that it briefly considers eating its own leek before stopping itself. Then it sees Spearow and Taillow eyeing the leek, causing Farfetch'd to panic and fly off.

* Both Sandile and Misdreavus plan to get some chow by 'helping' the others against the Bug-types. The OhCrap on their faces when confronted by said Bug-types is priceless.
* While sleeping, Ash sleeptalks, telling Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, to which he does, zapping Ash, Goh, Riolu, and Raboot awake in the process.
* The very end with Goh's Skwovet jumping off Golurk's shoulder and accidentally removing its seal, setting off its outburst again.

[[AC: [=JN024=]]]
* Ash and Goh catching nothing but Magikarp and Goldeen while fishing to investigate "The Lord", which starts to frustrate them.
* The awkward encounters between Ash and Goh and Team Rocket have their funny moments, from asking for directions to helping them fish out the giant Magikarp.
* The giant Magikarp deflecting Goh's first Pokeball, resulting in another ball to the face moment for him. He ends up sending his Oddish out to use Sleep Powder before trying to throw another ball.
* Goh's giant Magikarp's Splash was able to knock back two Rocket Grunts, a Rhyperior, and a Toxicroak, from its sheer size.
* The end where the giant Magikarp jumps so high, it breaks a hole in the ceiling and then splashes all over Professor Cerise, Chrysa, and Ren.
* Five words: Wobbuffet with a southern accent.

[[AC: [=JN025=]]]
* When on their flight, Ash has to stop Pikachu from eating too many cookies.
** Even funnier when you realize the irony of [[BigEater Ash]] telling someone to stop eating.
* Pikachu and Riolu both trying to assert themselves as Ash's battlers against Korrina without being asked to, only to get shut down and put on the sidelines pouting.
* Korrina telling Riolu to cheer on her Lucario, annoying Ash.
* With two stacked Dragon Dances, Dragonite's Hurricane is so windy [[FunnyBackgroundEvent an audience member flies away!]]
* Dragonite's determined and serious expression in battle faded the moment Ash praised him for a job well done, reverting so fast to his regular looks it is funny. Just as funny as the dragon glomping Ash so hard they fall over into a heap.
* Riolu cannot resist cheering or fanboying over Korrina and Gurkin's Lucarios. It is adorable.

[[AC: [=JN026=]]]
* The [[FlatWhat expression]] on Raboot’s face during the Magikarp segment at the end of Ash and Goh’s [[GrowingMusclesSequence fantasy]] about them and Magikarp having abs.
* The first segment ends with Ash reading the episode’s closing lines from a script and then winking at the audience, annoying Goh.
--> '''Goh:''' What are you some kind of narrator or something?
* Bonus funny points: during the segment's end, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3x3-22Gi3g the Magikarp Song]] plays.
** Speaking of, during the beginning of the second segment, when Ash, Goh, Pikachu, and Raboot get to the Slowpoke Island, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOqy8cC72wA the Slowpoke Song]] plays.
* Slowking seeing Ash's cup ramen and tastes it. His reaction is quite...interesting to look at.
* The duration of Slowking's shell being knocked onto Ash, Goh, Pikachu and Raboot.
** One of the effects of wearing Slowking’s shell is to suddenly adopt a British (Galarian?) accent. Yes, this includes Pikachu and Raboot.
* Goh's Magikarp enters orbit during the first half of the episode, and both Ash and Goh mourn his disappearance, only for them to return by crashing into the group during the Slowking fiasco and [[BrickJoke saving the day]].
* At the end of the episode, James goes to the door in similar fashion at the beginning and is met by Kosuking, and after a few seconds of blankly smiling he promptly shuts the door without warning.

[[AC: [=JN027=]]]
* Ash shouting from his seat in the audience to tell Leon about the promise to fight again while Goh is embarrassed.
* Sonia going into CutenessProximity with Pikachu and Raboot to the point of ''squeezing their ears'' in delight.
* The Galarian Farfetch'd (Japanese name Kamonegi) being able to say two words... [[GratuitousEnglish Come On.]]
* During the fight with the Galarian Farfetch'd, Ash starts cheering both Riolu ''and'' the Farfetch'd to stand up and keep fighting, much to Goh's confusion. [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/869/721/a2a.jpg Riolu's reaction]], as he's witnessing his trainer encourage the very Pokemon he's fighting, is also a sight to behold.
* The first thing Galarian Farfetch'd does after Ash lets him out of the Pokeball is to continue his fight with Riolu. Everyone is okay with this.

[[AC: [=JN028=]]]
* The two Farfetch'd fighting each other after their food disappears.
* When Sobble managed to seemingly run away and escape, Goh throws a Poké Ball to a fountain out of frustration. Only to hit the invisible Sobble hiding there and actually managed to catch it to the surprise of everyone!
* Each time Sobble's cry causes Ash, Goh, Team Rocket and their Pokemon to cry
** Goh's Raboot always turning his back so no one can see him crying.
* In the flashback Team Rocket had, even their Balloon disliked the conditions they had to suffer through after being blown off-course.

[[AC: [=JN029=]]]
* Chloe getting embarrassed that one of her mother's illustrations is a chibi version of her with her bed head. Talia immediately tries to lie that the image is ''[[BlatantLies not]]'' based on Chloe at all.
** The fact that Pidove goes crazy over the illustration. Turns out because its trainer also has curly hair.
* Goh needing Ash's help to figure out where Sobble is. They quickly find a humongous crowd of Pokemon -- including Ash's Dragonite and ''Goh's Golurk'' -- bawling their eyes out.
** In a flashback, he assumes that Sobble turned invisible while trying to eat cake, but it was Mr. Mime using Psychic to troll him.
* Goh's disdain after the Fearow -- whom Chloe attacked with Yamper -- flies away because he now can't capture it.

[[AC: [=JN030=]]]
* During Delia's visit, in the background Chloe finds herself perplexed by Mr. Mime's eccentric behaviour, and later her own father has the same reaction watching them pour nothing into Delia's cup.
* On their way to Pallet Town, Mr. Mime is trying different ways to hitchhike but fails. It takes Pikachu ''shaking its butt'' to finally have a woman give them a ride.

* The sudden shock everyone has when they realized that Jinny doesn't know how to swim.
* The start of Feebas's training where it runs into every obstacle and gets stuck in the loop, much to Ash and Goh's shock and dismay.
* Goh getting distracted and catching a Wingull on the way to Slateport which bothers the rest of the group.

[[AC: [=JN032=]]]
* Upon arriving in their lodge, the first thing Goh's parents do is fall asleep on the couch, much to his embarrassment. Then when the flashback begins the Goh from the previous visit three years ago is upset at them for doing exactly the same thing.
* Seeing Goh and Tokio being chased by all the wild Pokemon in Johto is chuckle-worthy.

[[AC: [=JN033=]]]
* When Jessie and James send a Scolipede and Drapion after Ash, Goh and Kylie, the two Pokemon get distracted Kylie's Kricketina Treat, much to their dismay.
* When, in response to their two Pokemon sent over being unable to act, Team Rocket capture Ash, Kylie, Pikachu, Raboot, and Sobble in a net, Sobble starts to cry, causing the usual OcularGushers from the other four.
** When Goh saves the day by defeating Team Rocket, Ash, Kylie, Pikachu and Raboot are still bawling their eyes out ''while trapped in the net.''
** The aftermath when the four are free consists of Ash looking embarassed, Kylie cleaning her glasses and Pikachu and Raboot trying to comfort Sobble.
* Pinsir getting a major crush on Kylie's Heracross is chuckle considering acts like a SmittenTeenageGirl complete with sparkly eyes, while still retaining its species menacing appearance.
* Kylie trying to hug Goh's Pinsir that makes it so uncomfortable that it throws her off. She does it again once she has her own Pinsir only to be once again been thrown off by her former Heracross.
* Goh asks Kylie if she's really okay with trading away her Heracross. She responds by showing off that she's got ''five more Heracross'' (who all pop out of their Pokéballs in a team pose).

[[AC: [=JN034=]]]
* The second Ash opens the door to the dojo, a Hitmonchan flies out and knocks him over.

[[AC: [=JN035=]]]
* The first thing Goh does after catching his own Pikachu is cuddling it, but ends up getting zapped like many others before him. However, unlike them, his Pikachu enjoyed it and seemed to zap him out of affection.
* Ash's Pikachu physically ''leaps'' away in abject terror at the sight of Goh's Pikachu with a Thunderstone and spends several minutes ''running away from Goh's Pikachu'' as fast as he physically can. They then end up behind a rock where light shines with a Raichu jumping out, except that it turns out to be just a wild Raichu who just evolved and that Ash's Pikachu is still running away. Eventually, Ash's Pikachu picks the one safe place that Goh's Pikachu ''can't'' get him... his usual safe spot - Ash's head!
** The look of abject ''fury'' on Pikachu's face at Goh's suggestion that he could evolve. Ash tells Goh why Pikachu doesn't want to evolve, while Pikachu sits on Ash's head, ''glaring daggers at Goh for the suggestion.'' If looks could kill...
* The first thing Goh's Pikachu does upon seeing Team Rocket is giving them berries, causing Goh to quickly grab her back. For the record, during this scene, Team Rocket was on the top of a cliff which Goh ran up and down in a matter of seconds.
* Team Rocket is excited that they captured Ash's Pikachu alongside the other wild Pikachu...before immediately realizing [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles they can't tell which one is him]], forcing them to use a claw machine to pick and choose. What's more, when Meowth asks for Ash's Pikachu to reveal himself, [[{{Troll}} none of the Pikachu make it easy]].
* After the boys defeat Team Rocket, Goh's Raichu runs over to hug Ash's Pikachu but she accidentally knocks him over.
* Pikachu declining a second berry from Raichu but she is very persient.
* The end when Raichu is chasing Pikachu and Raboot is chuckle-worthy.
* As adorable as the scene is - and, let's be clear, you ''will'' squee at the cuteness of the moment - Ash feeding Pikachu has the two of them making ''incredibly silly faces together''.

[[AC: [=JN036=]]]
* Ash still suffering a HeroicBSOD after losing two Matches and going back to Normal Class so Goh has to drag him out of the institute.
* The smug grins Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Riolu and Raboot all have when putting their goggles on.
* Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Riolu and Raboot all freaking out after Sobble puts its goggles on while invisible (so they are floating in the air).
* Sobble is about to set off its OcularGushers after losing to Flygon so Goh has to quickly return it to its ball.

[[AC: [=JN037=]]]
* Lei smacking Ash on the face, causing Professor Burnet to tell him to stop and the fact that, seemingly, Ash ''doesn't care in the slightest because Lei is '''adorable.'''''
* Most of Ash's Alolan Pokemon running over to cuddle him to welcome him back. His Pokemon then run over and cuddle Goh, much to his surprise.
** During the cuddle, Lycanroc is trying to bite Sobble's head as if it's a ball.
** The fact that Goh, who wants to capture all Pokémon doesn't realize how Ash has a newly discovered Mystical Pokémon and Lycanroc with an evolution that's seemingly one-of-a-kind.
*** The fact that you can actually ''see'' Ash's Pokemon all simultaneously coming to the same conclusion and idea before glomping Goh. Even Rowlet, who is normally as dumb as a plank, comes to the same conclusion as quickly as the others do.
* Raboot poking a Pyukumuku with its feet only to end up annoying it enough for it to shoot out its innards out to it. Raboot's expression during this is hilarious.
* Goh getting distracted while chasing a Grubbin that he and Raboot fall off a cliff and into the ocean, only to get fished out by Lana.
* Rotomdex getting very annoyed at Ash's Rotomphone.
* Goh's nervousness and awkward encounters upon meeting Mallow, Lana and Sophocles are chuckle-worthy.
** Kiawe's reaction upon learning that Goh is not Ash's rival.
* The meek way that Goh says "Alola" is certainly worth a chuckle.
* Raboot's reaction upon being picked up by Kiawe's Marowak is also hilarious.
* Pikachu isn't paying any attention to Lillie's letter - he's trapped in Ash's arms and desperately reaching for the tasty food on the plate in front of him.
** Speaking of which, when it cuts to the scene of all the Pokémon eating, Melmetal is devouring a steel pipe and Rowlet is ''uncontrollably stuffing his face''.

[[AC: [=JN038=]]]
* Ash and Goh having to drag Chloe with them out of the Cerise Institute when going to collect fossils. Then they have to drag her along again to the entrance of the area.
** While Ash and Goh are gushing over all the Fossil Pokémon, Chloe just stands in the middle of them awkwardly.
* They don't even get to see the Shieldon that the advertisement showed -- the line was stretching out to the entrance.
* When Goh calls Golurk out to help with excavating the fossils, it chooses a tiny pebble to start with instead of the huge boulder that's half its size.
* While the group is asleep, Pikachu is curled up on the pillow and Ash's head is dropping out of the bed as he's snoring.
* James's Graveler is so focused on chasing Pikachu, it doesn't notice Pikachu's Electroweb -- while [[NoSell not affected by any damage it would have caused]], the force of running into it catapults back into Team Rocket, causing them to blast off.

[[AC: [=JN039=]]]
* About two seconds after Chuck says the sweets are probably not Bea's thing, she and her Pokemon are already digging into them.

** Bea's respect for Ash has increased slightly...she now calls him "Riolu's Trainer".

[[AC: [=JN040=]]]
* Ash's attempt at fixing the snow cone machine only causes it to malfunction more and shoot ice all over himself, Goh, Pikachu and Raboot.
* The second Goh leads Ash into the Power Plant, James crashes right into him.
* When Team Rocket uses the Rocket Prize Master so they can join Ash and Goh in a raid battle, Jessie is lucky enough to receive a Rhydon while James is given a Stunfisk much to their disdain.
* When Jessie and James call their Pokemon to attack, Rhydon starts attacking the walls while Stunfisk attacks the power generator, much to their confusion and annoyance.
** On top of that, when Jessie scolds Rhydon for attacking the walls instead of Zapdos, it charges at her instead.
* When Goh tells his Pokemon to attack Zapdos before it can get away, they are both too tired, much to his dismay.

* When Sonia steps on the gas to get herself and Goh away from Oleana's subordinates, the car does a burnout, much to their dismay.

[[AC: [=JN045=]]]

* The sudden pause Ash and Goh have when they realize they captured Eternatus.
* Raihan's shocked reaction to Kommo-o reverting to its normal size.
** Before that, he wanted to ask Sonia out on a date if the current situation wasn't going on.

* The look on Ash and Goh's faces before they are struck by Gyarados's Hydro Pump.

[[AC: [=JN047=]]]
* Chrysa being absolutely enthusiastic about the eating contest the entire episode, quite a stark contrast to just an aide who is only there in the background.
* Despite being the one who brought up the competition in the first place, Professor Cerise acts as the OnlySaneMan for the episode, contrasting Ash and Chloe's interest and being shocked by Chrysa's fanaticism.
* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Pikachu pretend eating]] while watching the competition.
* Dragonite licking Ash's face like a big puppy.
* Ash's Dragonite is revealed to have stopped eating, eliminating him from the competition. Turns out it's a light eater for its size.
* Many of the other competitors have a few laughs of their own:
** Bisharp slicing the berries into smaller pieces, but it gets a bit into it and ''slices the table and dishes''.
** A Hydreigon using its additional heads to eat... but it gets full quickly. As Meowth noted, [[RealityEnsues it has three heads, yet one stomach]].
** The Rookies looking in horror at how Skwovet can keep eating since it knew Bullet Seed to empty its stomach.
* Morpeko and Skwovet diving into Team Rocket's bloating cookies, much to their dismay. However, Morpeko is seemingly unaffected while Skwovet deflates and recovers really quickly (compared to the other four Pokemon).
* Goh having a secret technique for Skwovet to keep on eating: squeeze ''[[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Tamato berry juice]]'' onto a tart and reset its palette with a new taste so it could continue eating it.
* Morpeko's opponent in the second round is a Glalie who uses its Freeze-Dry to ''completely freeze its dish''. This means that it has to essentially eat a giant block of ice before it continues onto the next round.
* In the final round, both Goh's Skwovet and Team Rocket's Morpeko are capable of eating the Torchic-based manju... the current champion (a Blaziken), however? Absolutely paralyzed at the idea of eating something so cute, never mind the fact that they're in the shape of its ''[[ImAHumanitarian first form]]'' (punctuated by a RebusBubble as Pikachu remembers the Torchic line). So the Blaziken gathers the little Torchic desserts into ity claws and walks off. Despite this, Chryssa is just eating it all up.
** Earlier in the competition, this same Blaziken manages to out-eat a Snorlax... which would be more impressive if the food given to it wasn't something spicy that [[PlayingWithFire its taste buds could likely shake right off]] like curry.
* Just when Team Rocket is about to win, Morpeko switches into its Full Belly mode (indicating it ''finally'' wants to stop eating) and causes them to blast off with an Aura Wheel. When do they land? [[HereWeGoAgain Straight back into Hangry mode.]]
* By the end of the contest, [[NotSoAboveItAll Chloe]] is just as enthusiastic as Chrysa.

[[AC: [=JN048=]]]
* Cinderace tries to share ice cream with Lucario and accidentally smooshes it into its face, leading to a very heated conflict between them.

* The moments of Cinderace and Lucario being stuck together and being flung all over the place alongside Team Rocket.
** Also seeing them battle against Sawk and Throh while stuck together has its funny moments.
** Their strategy to take turns spinning each other around is especially funny. Especially Lucario's and Cincerace's reaction to being spun.

* Near the end, how fat Ash has gotten in contrast to Goh after dining on all the desserts from Goh's prize.

* Ash's excited face at seeing Arctozolt in contrast to Goh and Chloe looking unimpressed.
