Episode Synopsis

From Pineco to giant, metal mystery egg, it's Forretress! It shoots, it spins, and holds secrets within! Follow along with the entries below:Gold: Its entire body is shielded by a steel-hard shell. What lurks inside the armor is a total mystery. Silver: It remains immovably rooted to its tree. It scatters pieces of its hard shell to drive its enemies away. Crystal: Usually found hanging on to a fat tree trunk. It shoots out bits of its shell when it sees action. Ruby & Sapphire: FORRETRESS conceals itself inside its hardened steel shell. The shell is opened when the POKéMON is catching prey, but it does so at such a quick pace that the shell’s inside cannot be seen. Diamond, Pearl & Platinum: It is encased in a steel shell. Its peering eyes are all that can be seen of its mysterious innards. Ultra Sun: When something approaches it, it fires off fragments of its steel shell in attack. This is not a conscious action but a conditioned reflex. Ultra Moon: In the moment that it gulps down its prey, the inside of its shell is exposed, but to this day, no one has ever seen that sight. Dark Forretress: It stays motionless in trees, driving away with flying armored shards from its hard shell any who come close. BTB: There must be a way to find out what's inside its steel shell, but science is still too cowardly to face its incredible defensive capabilites.The Big EggCover design by Kwesi PhillipsMusic by Junichi Masuda and Go IchinoseLeave us a tip at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/beyondtheball
