Hello guys! What is your favorite "filler" episode in pokemon sun and moon? And why?
I know the serie has a long way to go, but it would be nice to read your thoughts.
 
My favorite one: "Mounting an electrifying charge!", My 2nd favorite is "Mimikyu Unmasked!", and my last one is "Alolan open house!" because Delia finally gets to do something! Note: All of this is from season 1 of SM, I'm just waiting for the next season to start so I can see what all the hype is about here.
 
I don't think I have a favorite, I've been so detached from the SM anime. I do enjoy Team Rocket's adventures this go round, I enjoy the comedy versus their annoying usual existence.
 
I would say the baseball episode (SM028), but SM filler is generally good so it's not really an easy decision compared to every other season where 99% of filler was Ash & Co. are traveling > They meet a trainer / pokémon > They help but TR interrupts > Short tasteless battle where TR gets stomped > Our main characters say goodbye to the PotD/CotD under the sunset.

The Jigglypuff episode (SM056) was great, the Charjabug race episode (SM041) was fun, the Mallow / Oranguru one (SM039) was good too, the episode where Mimikyu's disguise gets ripped was fantastic (SM038), the visit episode (SM024) was really charming, the "Sophocles is going to move far away but then he's actually not" episode (SM026) is a good one despite the fact that this particularly story has been done to death (also just realized that it's technically not filler whoops), the pancake race was a fun episode (SM013), the "starters" episode was super cute as well as fun (SM016), and the Detective Rotom one (SM017) was great just because Rotomdex is such a fun character despite being such a nothing concept.

I'd say my top 5 would be: SM028, SM017, SM056, SM016 and SM038 (in no particular order, because I can't figure that out on my own).

SM006 - Ash's first time being alone at home which spelled disaster and also an unexpected adventure with Mamane (which felt like an episode reminiscent of him travelling around the region).
SM023 - The Pokemon version of rock and roll life (drama and everything lol) and a cute diglet joining the cute was just adorable.
SM045 - Nebby knowing teleport brought adventure in a contained location (at school) plus how close it cared for Ash when it teleported back to him.
SM048 - Playing games and having fun, but also the sleepover created closer relationships with each other.

To be fair, SM048 isn't exactly a filler, as it's one of those "something plot-relevant happens right at the end" kind of episode. It's still a really good one, though!
 
-Detective Rotom: I'm not Rotom's biggest fan, but this episode was very funny and entertaining. Kiawe's role was priceless.
-Palossand: I liked how it took itself seriously, and the way the ploy was developed was very good. Its only mistake was Palossand's animation, it looked very unrealistic.


I'm on the minority that didn't liked the baseball episode...
 
I love the anime to bits and have done since I was around 7 and actually started to bother to look at my Pokemon bedsheets and research them so I have a few also.
  1. Crystal-Clear Sleuthing! - The Detective Pikachu episode was really good and Rotom Dex is a really good character to have around - it's like Max but electronic and makes jokes
  2. Getting the Band Back Together! - That was a really good one especially when Ash and friends got a wig and so did Alolan Diglett
  3. Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper! - one of the best - Pokemon baseball and Pokemon involved too - cute
  4. Mounting an Electrifying Charge! - It's nice for Sophocles to take the main role and also it was more sophisticated and more thought out than the pancake race
Okkkkk I'm done!!
