Episodes

Doduo & Dodrio

Multiple heads and no wings. Named after a flightless bird but it can fly? Based on a flightless bird, but looks nothing like it all. If we put x5 the effort Game Freak did into Doduo, this might be a pretty okay episode.

Farfetch'd & Sirfetch'd (ft. Mal4m)

The Daycare Dittos are beyond excited to welcome Alex @Mal4m of the Every F'n FF podcast to join them for this very special Pokemon. Duck + Weapon has been a very overlooked and under utilized Pokemon throughout the generations, but Farfetch'd has recently hit a renaissance in Sword and Shield. Together they look back on the extremely rare, very beatable, and very eatable baby Duck with a leak.

Magnemite, Magneton, & Magnezone

Magnets, how do they work? It seems like the professors in charge of Pokemon don't really seem to know. This Pokemon family was the first to receive a type change and the pokedex entries are like throwing a dart at an open science book. Will the Daycare Dittos be able to make sense of Magnemite? (Probably not)

Sep 22, 20211 hr 13 minSeason 1Ep. 39

Slowpoke, Slowbro, & Slowking

Bite Me! (So we may evolve as a team) Evolution in Pokemon is confusing enough, this little pink whatever the hell it is throws all the rules and norms out the window. Is that a bad thing or are we just jealous? Is there a life better than laying out on the beach, relaxing with your sweet tail out for all to see? Find out here!

Sep 15, 20211 hr 24 minSeason 1Ep. 38

Sep 01, 20211 hr 17 minSeason 1Ep. 35

Tentacool & Tentacruel (ft. Gamero)

Dave is beyond excited to present one of his all time favorite Pokemon!

Jun 16, 20211 hr 14 minSeason 1Ep. 24

Venonat & Venomoth

It's a fuzzy little ball of poison and that's about it. Don't hug a Venonat or you'll die. Don't touch the wings of a Venomoth or you'll be paralyzed... then you'll die.

Jun 09, 20211 hr 4 minSeason 1Ep. 23

Paras & Parasect

PREPARE TO CRY! You probably always thought Paras was an unbelievably weak pokémon. Well, you're totally right for thinking that but there is way more to the story. Where does its power truly come from? Is there a reason Parasect's pupils are missing? Is it evolving or wasting away? Find out on this episode of Daycare Dittos!

Zubat, Golbat, & Crobat

This episode sucks... GET IT!? We are not referring to coming across a zubat every three steps in a cave, but the hellish description of Crobat draining Stantlers and humans in the Pokedex. Aren't bats fun!? Don't get rabies!

6 Pokemon in one episode!? Sara, Peter, and Dave are working over time to cover the King and Queen of the first 150! Nidoran, Nidorina, Nidorino, Nidoqueen, and Nidoking may have been born of a game mechanic that wouldn't be technologically possible until later games which makes Nintendo's handling of them oddly unique.
