PJ028: Sobbing Sobble!

- (Japanese: めそめそメッソン, Hepburn: The Sobbing Sobble) is the 28th episode of Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

Synopsis

While still in the Galar region, Ash and Goh encounter a timid Pokémon called Sobble. Sobble is very cowardly and prone to crying, and the components of its tears cause Ash and Goh to be unable to stop crying as well. Not only that, but Sobble turns invisible when its own tears make it disappear, so Ash and the others lose sight of it. And then Team Rocket arrives in the Galar region.

Trivia

• Who's That Pokémon?: Sobble
• The episode was originally scheduled to air on May 31, 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, along with the series.
  • Therefore, the episode's originally intended airing was replaced with a rerun of "Working My Way Back to Mew!"
• During the preview, Ash, Pikachu, Goh, and Team Rocket were all crying, as a reference to Sobble's tears.
• Sobble's capture marks the first time a male protagonist aside from Ash catches another Starter Pokemon from the same region as their initial.

Errors

• When Sobble was about to cry again, Riolu's feelers are colored blue instead of the usual grey.
