It's been two years, and this is *still* my favorite episode of Pokemon. It's mostly due to the second half, which leaves me laughing till it hurts. Seeing all the pokemon go gaga over Team Rocket, including Meowth with James and Pikachu with Jessie, is just one of the funniest scenes ever on the show.

I also love Old Man Shuckle and Spoopy, they're great for laughs too.

I felt sorry for Ash getting a tummyache....

I think some Great or Ultra balls could've come in handy for catching those Ursaring and Beedrill.

i loved this episode cause all of the Shuckles fell in love with Jesse and James.it was really cute when Pikachu fell in love with Jessie and when Pikachu snapped out of it and blasted off TR i really liked that part.

The old man was kinda funny. I liked this eppisode!

Nice filler ep, but why wasn't the Bellsprout affected by the purple Shuckle's potion when TR drank it.

*Ash complains of a stomach ache*
Misty: "Well, Ash, you DID have four hamburgers..."
Ash: "I did not! I had five!"

This is such a funny episode, and the old man Shuckle was so harlious

A nice funny episode, I like Shuckle their such an interesting Pokemon and seeing a Shiny Shuckle was even better.

**bhrettzerda053** · 26th March 2008, 9:24 AM

The funniest part around here is that when Meowth drank the juice of a purple Shuckle, it was in love with James! In fact, the other Shuckles followed off to follow somebody who drank the juice of it. Plus, you love that part when Old Man Shuckle's Bellsprout ran fast, picking up boulders for any hiding Shuckle! Imagine when Ash is given some medicine, he found out that it has the same effect on Pokemon! Old Man Shuckle did said that it could increase strength of the attacks of a Pokemon, probably.

Pretty good episode. The best way to heal a stomach ache is some juice from a turtle shell I guess :P

**(s.i.e)** · 26th January 2009, 6:12 PM

i allways find it a strange and somehow discusting idea with those shuckles and their juice, who knows what's under that hole it could be it's pooper for christ sake0_0

**Littlemyuu** · 12th March 2009, 10:38 PM

I love the part where Meowth fell in love with James...so funny XD

**schrik** · 23rd March 2009, 11:56 AM

**Ash-kid** · 15th December 2009, 10:59 AM

Funny episode....those shuckles were very strange...
And the old man was very smart. i loved his Bellsprout.

**Armaldo48** · 4th January 2010, 5:10 PM

This must be one of my most favourite episodes. There were just too many moments that made me laugh

9/10

**Charmed** · 5th January 2010, 12:38 AM

Pretty good, for a Pokemon Johto League Champions episode :/

These season was full of disappointments but this episode was actually good. I loved Old Man Shuckle and that Shiny Shuckle that was featured in this episode.

A few funny moments involving Ash and the medicine lol. 9/10

**Swampert_trainer** · 7th July 2010, 8:56 AM

This really was a funny episode. Meowth's infatuation with James was hilarious and seeing a shiny Shuckle was very cool.

**Tyranitar Rules** · 10th December 2010, 9:38 AM

Its so funny!
10/10

**G50** · 14th February 2011, 1:09 AM

This episode was ok... It was cool to see Shuckle for the 1st time. The shiney Shuckle was very cool. This episode was so funny throughout the whole episode that I couldn't stop laughing.

50/100

**TheEpicGoomba** · 8th May 2011, 2:35 PM

This episode was pretty pointless but seeing Shuckle was pretty cool. Especially since it was shiney.

5/10
