Pokémon Smash!
Pokémon Smash will be airing soon in Japan. This week we’re not expecting a huge amount of information, despite the episode being a WCS and Mega Evolutions special. As such, this episode will not be covered live. Instead we will provide an episode write-up after the episode has finished airing.
Our stream can be found below, as well as the PokéJungle Chat. Please remember to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter, and for even more Pokémon related goodness don’t forget about our very own forums too!
Please note: if you can hear a constant popping/clicking noise, please open the Chat spoiler and click the small speaker in the bottom left.
Episode Write-Up
- The episode begun with it’s usual anime episode re-airing
- Smash crew ran a section focusing on the WCS in Vancouver. Some of the crew got to visit the championships and talk to some of the fans attending, and even challenge them!
- Next the hosts moved on to an X & Y section, including a game which required them to guess what was in a selection of boxes, without being able to see what they were feeling
- As expected Mega Evolutions were shown, with a little new footage showcased feature Mega Ampharos
- Back to the WCS, this time with a focus on the video game champion contenders
- A quick look at Sylveon (they even talk about the Pokémon in English!)
- The credits run with footage from the Pokémon Game Show running, featuring hosts taking part in various battles using X & Y
The preview for next weeks episode didn’t preview anything of interest, as such we will only provide a stream again next week.

Does anyone think that they’ll make a Fairy type that looks like an actual fairy?
Probably. The Lake trio seems close enough and so does Celebi. I hope they retype all of them Fairy types, to be honest.
Celebi is already dual typed.
Well, I believe Hiro said something about maybe Togetic getting retyped, so I figured there would be some chance with Celebi… IDK. We’ll have to see what XY bring!
I could see it in the megalution. Most likely not for its standard form. Though, you never know if GF would actually remove a type completely…it just seems highly doubtful.
I could understand removing a normal type, in a way, but I doubt they would remove a type from a Psychic/Grass type. The Trio on the other hand is a better possibility.
Do you think they will make a flying type that looks like an actual fly?
Even better, a grass type that looks like actual grass!
I know this is sorta off topic but who wants Bellossom to be retyped Grass/Fairy? It would give Bellossom some uniqueness for sure!
Unless that turns out to be Flabébé’s evos typing
I can see a lot of Fairy types having Grass and Normal as their secondary type. Sorta like how we have so many Normal/Flying types and no other dual types except for a few.
I don’t really think it suits Bellossom well. Just because it’s small and cute does it mean it has an affinity toward the moon as well as magic power. Further, it has more of an affinity toward the sun, it anything. It wouldn’t make sense to make a fairy pokemon, of which power is tied to an affinity toward the moon to evolve via a sun stone.
I don’t think they have to be limited to just moon. Having an affinty towards the Sun can also work since both the moon and sun are celestial objects. Not all fairies in fiction have affinity towards the moon, some the Sun, some elements, some other planets.
Both you and Fen make excellent points! 😀
What moon=dark Umbreon is dark pokemon?
It seems like shiny Pokémon are coming out of the woodwork these days.
Well, it turns out that most of them, if not all of them, are fake.
I think the only real shiny Pokémon so far are Gogoat and Skrelp, because they were shown in videos, unlike these “shiny” Pokémon who we’ve only seen through screenshots. We all know Photoshop can easily edit these non-shiny Pokémon into shiny Pokémon.
There also seems to be a shiny Dedenne going around. As Jordin pointed out,
that one is obviously fake, not because of its coloring, but because the fake pic is a cropped and edited pic of Dedenne’s official screenshot found on the official site.
Plus, was Dedenne even featured in the demo?
Also, I’m pretty sure that shiny Sylveon is fake as well…
I remember seeing that pic posted on Facebook and in the comments someone posted the real pic. Although, I can’t seem to find the pic on Facebook anymore…
October can’t get here any sooner.
I thought the Skrelp was still unconfirmed coz we’ve all seen the footage and there’s no shiny animation when it gets sent out of it’s Pokeball?
I was just making a post about this, lol (the tab was on “best” not “newest”). They are all fake. It was fan art from when they were revealed. Even Skrelp was fake :
Skrelp, too? I think I remember people saying it was fake when it was first shown, but I wasn’t too sure because I also remember it was shown in a demonstration. Guess that was a screenshot from the demonstration that was edited.
I had a feeling it was too good to be true. Besides, Fennekin’s ears I think would be a different color instead of a darker hue of the color it is now.
Anyone know when another article will be up?
The only real shiny Pokémon we have seen so far is Gogoat. All the supposed shiny Pokémon from the demo were fake. A user on DeviantART called “KrocF4” made them as fanart from when they were revealed. His shiny Pokémon fanart includes- Mega Ampharos, Mega Lucario, Mega Absol, Mega Mawile, Mega Blaziken, Mega Mewtwo, Sylveon, Flabebe, Skrelp, Gogoat, Skiddo, Fennekin, and Chespin. (pictures in his gallery which is linked below) They all happened to be the ones in the edited pictures from the demo. As Claus H. Luíz said, “Photoshop can easily edit these non-shiny Pokémon into shiny Pokémon” The gallery with the fanart-

(Fake shiny pictures below are either taken from pictures from the demo or screenshots from the official website and then edited, also included screenshot from his DeviantART saying his sources are correct)

I knew the Skrelp was fake!
Someone could have easily edited to picture/Skrelp lighter and add some effects mess with the hue, etc. It’s pretty easy to do.
Damn. The people who copied his work into screenshots from the demos did such a good job at first! They literally had me fooled with Shiny Fennekin!
So, Flabébé and Sylveon are also fake?
Yup, if you go to the gallery you can see them there.

You can edit posts on deviant art. just saying
Great job, Detective Jordin.
We’ll rest easy knowing you’re on the case.
(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Good to hear that! ( Ո‿Ո)
Where is the write up?
So … where’s this write up you lazy fucks?
whats wrong with you?
I don’t know about you, but we all have stuff to do. Visiting Gamescom, going to work, caring for sick family members. No one gets paid to do this, and there are more important things than a barren Smash episode.
(0_0 )
AHHHHAHAAHHAHHAHAAAA!
XD
*Scoffs* Rude, people have other stuff to do, don’t you?
I don’t mean to be rude, like my fellow pokejungler below, but could we please have the write up soon?
Apologies, I couldn’t get to it yesterday as I didn’t sleep until 5am. It’ll be up some point today. I really must say though, you are missing nothing.
That is what I am saying but still its not very nice for the jungle goer below to go that far
Fairy does neutral damage against Psychic. It doesn’t resist it like originally stated in the Pokebeach rumour (although it was from ages ago so it’s likely that things were going to change
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s55A51TUq84
Maybe it’s super effective against grass :O :O :O :O nightmare
It’s confirmed that Fairy does neutral damage to Grass.
Gosh, I wanted grass to resist fairy.
So did I, Grass really needs some love 🙁
Is there a video where Chespin is seen taking neutral damage from Sylveon’s Fairy Wind? I can’t find one anywhere.
OMG! Best news all day!
YES….there is now a chance that dark is not weak to fairy. And that ice may be resistant to fairy…..My hopes are high =)
Unhappy that grass doesn’t resist fairy though….grass needs a boost.
How can you tell Exeggutor resisted Fairy Wind? You can’t hear the demo.
Sylveon is Lv30 while Exeggutor is Lv16, plus its Sp. Def isn’t all that great.
Did the Italian guys mention anything about the resistance in the vid?
There was no “super effective” or “not very effective” text in italian. Plus fairy wind is also neutral to chespin.
Hmm. Guess so. Type chart…
The next issue of CoroCoro is said to debut the updated
type chart, isn’t it? Can’t wait to lay some speculation to rest.
I will jump for joy if ice resists fairy
Can you link me to a video where Chespin is neutral to Fairy Wind being shown? I just want to see it for myself.
This site is so dry at the moment. We need news or something to keep the conversations flowing.
We need Frogsnewz, the rare Drizzle Politoed!
It usually makes it rain with news up in this jungle village.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to really predict its arrival.
We’ll just have to wait for it to appear. Then, is when we’ll bathe in its rainfall.
So Serebii just added this.
“The unique feature with Pokémon Amie is that after you have utilised the feature, you will come to see various effects in battle. These features range from superficial to largely beneficial for the trainer which allows for greater strategy in battle. Most of them occur randomly, with the rate currently unclear. The effects known are as follows:”
-Text: The introduction message, and various statements throughout battle change in context.
-Critical Hit Ratio: The ratio of Critical Hits is increased.
-Evasion: The Pokémon’s evasion is increased.
-Paralysis: The Pokémon has a chance of healing itself from paralysis.
-Survival: The Pokémon has a chance of enduring a hit which would have knocked it out.
Now it really feels like the anime with Pokemon shaking off status effects!
Critical hits and evasion (Good)
Critical hits and survival (Good)
Critical hit, survival and evasion (Mixed feelings about this)
Paralysis NOT PERMANENT (Thank You)
Waiting for the Frozen to be not permanent!
Frozen is not permanent though, you have always had a chance at defrosting since RSE.
I meant the effect that Pokemon Amie would give us (If Ice get’s one.)
One things for sure, 6-0ing a team will be much less consistent.
it basically is if your in a hailstorm lol
