It took me a while to figure out why the swinub would be the ones to locate the hot springs, but I guess it's just because they'd be more sensitive to heat as ice pokemon. The little girl in this episode was really annoying, but otherwise the episode was pretty interesting. I liked the part where the twerps and their friends were chasing Team Rocket in the boxes, the part where Wobbuffet appears out of nowhere and James and Meowth get scared, Jessie and Meowth taking a while to get excited about striking oil, Jessie pointing out where she was in the modeling poster, and Team Rocket forgetting that they're right in the middle of a battle.

Yeah, this episode was great! ^^

**Yamato-san** · 24th July 2006, 1:31 AM

is it just me, or were U, Ri, and Mu (the nicknames for the three Urimuu in the Japanese version) a parody of Ko, Bu, and Ta from Tonde Buurin? Yeah, I know very little about this anime, but I recall stumbling upon this info a long time ago, and thought I'd bring it up now because I just saw this episode in Japanese.

BTW, another interesting tidbit about the Japanese version is that this episode switched the order for the Ookido Lecture and the next episode preview. Now, the lecture comes after the preview (also, this episode marks the beginning of "TO BE CONTINUED..." appearing on screen without the picture panning out into a black background, but that was probably noticeable on the dub).

Awww..I like this one, the names for Swinub was cute ^_^

A very good debut for the Swinub, I liked how they were able to sniff out hot springs, plus they were so cute.

**Joshehh** · 2nd April 2008, 8:57 PM

This was better than I thought it would be, I'll give it that. A few good moments, like Jessie's modelling career and the box racing. But it was still pretty dull, the idea was a bit... iffy. The swinub were really cute though 8D

**Jimbobson** · 2nd April 2008, 9:08 PM

I think ive seen that ep on TV (a while ago) i liked the Articuno best! Swinubs are cool to.

**Igottapoo** · 7th January 2009, 11:01 AM

The boring Todd is back :P I really don't like the character that much.

**(s.i.e)** · 26th January 2009, 6:21 PM

swinubs are funny pokemon if you ask me, i enjoyed watchuing this episode.

**#1-Icelandic-Pokemon-Fan** · 26th January 2009, 6:22 PM

an okay ep i didnt really like the articuno arc.

**Littlemyuu** · 12th March 2009, 10:34 PM

Swinub is cute...i love them XD
it was a good episode

**BogleDominic Crazy Anime** · 13th April 2009, 1:56 PM

Those swinubs are cute and hungry!

**Hibachi** · 13th May 2009, 2:24 AM

I thought the Swinub were adorable. I like how they were eventually able to sniff out a hot spring. I liked the part where they are sledding down the mountain in the boxes. It is too bad that Todd missed his shot of Articuno though. I thought it was funny when TEam Rocket couldn't steal Graveler. I also laughed at the part where Jessie shows where she is in her modeling poster.

**GoodPokemonTrainer121** · 27th October 2009, 1:05 AM

Seriously a lot of people like this episode I wasn't really interested in this episode The Swinubs were cute and there name were funny but the rest was quite boring so I'll rate this episode 5/10

**Charmed** · 14th December 2009, 10:08 PM

Interesting to see hot springs in the anime.

I really liked that Swinub appeared in this episode. They are honestly some of the cutest Pokemon around.

It was a particularly pleasent episode. 6/10

**Ash-kid** · 15th December 2009, 10:53 AM

This was great to see Swinub, it was cute..
And it was funny to see Ash and co chasing after TR.

**G50** · 15th February 2011, 6:20 AM

This episode was ok... It was cool seeing Swinub and its special use for the 1st time in this episode. It was also cool to see a Graveler again. The 3 names for the Swinub were really cute. The sledding down the mountain in boxes was very cool.

40/100

**TheEpicGoomba** · 8th May 2011, 2:50 PM

This was a cool episode. Seeing Swinub was cool and so was seeing Graveler.

7/10

**ColyTom** · 23rd January 2012, 12:42 AM

I really liked this episode.

I hope that they manage to get a picture of that Articuno soon!

The Jessie modelling photo was funny!

**AquaMilotic** · 16th February 2012, 10:38 PM

Great episode and a cool introduction episode for Swinub. I don't know why, but I always liked this one and Swinub is a cute Pokemon. 8/10, a good and enjoyable filler. Nothing more or less than that.

**7threst** · 15th September 2012, 4:17 PM

This episode was alright in a way. They introduced Swinub alright, but the synopsis wasn't that interesting though. I do find the personalities of the Swinubs funny and that made this episode slightly better.

**Angel~** · 27th September 2012, 5:30 AM

A good episode, the Swinub were adorable to see. I liked how they had the ability to eventually sniff out hot springs. I didn't really like the COTD little girl though. I lol'd at how Jessie had to be the one to steal Graveler and then failed. Also laughed when she was so miniscule in that modeling poster of hers. Lastly, I liked the part where Ash, Misty, Brock, & Todd were sledding down the mountain in boxes. It's too bad Todd missed his shot of Articuno though.
