Beyond the Ball 169 - Cottonee

In this episode we're covering Sam Rami's hit 2002 film Spider-Man! I mean Cottonee! The Cotton Puff Pokemon! Don't worry we're totally not tired and distracted at all. Follow along with the entries below: Black: When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker. White: They go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees. Black & White 2: Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud. Sun: When it finds others of its kind, they all stick together. When enough of them have collected, the mass resembles a cumulonimbus cloud. Moon: Pillows and beds stuffed with cotton exhaled by Cottonee are soft and puffy, light and airy— altogether top quality. Ultra Sun: To protect itself, it shoots cotton from its body. When it gets wet in the rain, its cotton grows moist and heavy, and it can’t move as well. Ultra Moon: When attacked, it expels cotton from its body to create a diversion. The cotton it loses grows back in quickly. Sword: It shoots cotton from its body to protect itself. If it gets caught up in hurricane-strength winds, it can get sent to the other side of the Earth. Shield: Weaving together the cotton of both Cottonee and Eldegoss produces exquisite cloth that’s highly prized by many luxury brands. BTB: A world-traveling little puffball that generates cotton in perhaps a variety of fashions. That cotton is the real good stuff.
