Budew! It's cute. It's baby. But it's also poison? Join us in our 108th episode as determine just how much Budew truly is all three of those things.

We reach the end of our fiery funeral procession this episode as we talk about Litwick and Lampent's final evolution, Chandelure. Will it maintain Lampent's more passive and subtle ways or will we see a return to form akin to Litwick's insidious tastes? Discover the answer to this question and others as we go Beyond the Ball once more!

We thought Lampent would try to outdo the depravity of Litwick, but this evolution takes a slightly subtler turn that we were not expecting! Find out more in the 106th episode of Beyond the Ball as we explore the boundaries of fate and death!

We kick off a new evolution chain this week that starts with little ol' Litwick! We do our best to justify this cute Pokemon's seemingly evil behavior but, as usual, the Pokedex has other plans!

The nutrient ball has been drained and Cherubi's evolved form, Cherrim, is finally ready to bloom! Well, sometimes. You know, if it's nice out.
