Trivia

  • Pokémon Ultra Sun was the first main series Pokémon game to be covered in a non-Nuzlocke LP on the channel, due to Rick and John not wanting to repeat themselves by Padlocking Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon immediately after finishing the very similar Sun and Moon. The non-Nuzlocke format was later reused for Pokémon Sword, with Geoff replacing Lindsay as the second player.
  • No new episodes of Pokémon Ultra Sun have been recorded since early 2018. Episode 16, which was recorded shortly after episode 15, was held to be included with the next batch of episodes. It was ultimately released as a one-off in 2021 during Rick's calculations to determine the odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon across the channel's entire history.
