Listen "Beyond the Ball 132 - Vullaby"
Episode Synopsis
They say it takes all kinds to fill a Pokedex and Beyond the Ball is committed to talking about each and every one of them. Even the ones we don't like all that much. The ones that gross us out quite a bit. Yes, today we are talking about the one and only depraved sicko bird baby Vullaby. Don't worry friends, it just butt armor! We also take some weird sidetracks that only we will understand and delve a little into Will's nightmares. Enjoy!
Follow along with the Pokedex entries below:
Black
Its wings are too tiny to allow it to fly. As the time approaches for it to evolve, it discards the bones it was wearing.
White
They tend to guard their posteriors with suitable bones they have found. They pursue weak Pokémon.
Black and White 2
Their wings are too tiny to allow them to fly. They guard their posteriors with bones that were gathered by Mandibuzz.
Sun
It protects its plump posterior with the bones of prey it has consumed. As it grows, it replaces the bones.
Moon
It can’t fly yet and must wait until its wings have developed more. Since it’s still at a playful age, it hops around friskily.
Ultra Sun
Mandibuzz gives it the bones it wears. Vullaby’s wings are short, so it can’t fly yet, but it jumps around, dreaming of wide open skies.
Ultra Moon
Its healthy appetite leads to visible growth spurts. It often has to replace the bones it wears as its size increases.
Sword
It wears a bone to protect its rear. It often squabbles with others of its kind over particularly comfy bones.
Shield
Vullaby grow quickly. Bones that have gotten too small for older Vullaby to wear often get passed down to younger ones in the nest.
BTB
This bird lives for skull-based fashion. But really it's a dang diaper.
