S07E39 Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend
Episode Overview
As Ash and his companions make their way to Fortree City, they encounter a distraught Spoink that has lost the Pearl it balances on its head. After attempting to replace the Pearl with other round Pokémon, they manage to locate it. Unfortunately, Team Rocket swoops in and steals the Pearl. Later, while at a fair, James runs into the same Magikarp Salesman who has previously caused him trouble, who offers a trade: the Pearl for a Feebas. Excited to evolve it into a Milotic, Team Rocket agrees. However, when they release the Feebas for a swim, they discover it's merely a painted Magikarp, tricking them once again. Realizing what has happened, Ash and the gang rush to retrieve Spoink's Pearl before Team Rocket can find the salesman.
