*'''Interviews''' - Mock interviews have been a part of the ''P.U.C.L. Podcast'' since the second episode, when the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] from [[Four Island (town)|Four Island]] was the first "interviewee" as the episode focused on [[breeding]]. These interviews happened early on in the podcast's run, but have been become less common later on, only being done on occasion when the hosts feel like it. The interviews tend to have over-exaggerated versions of various characters.

*'''Commercials''' - ''P.U.C.L.'' always has a commercial break filled with fake commercials during each episode, normally after the topic of the episode. The commercials start after one of the hosts says, "We will catch you on the flip-flop!" Some of the more notable "commercials" include:

*'''"[[Pokémon (species)|Poke]]" of the Episode''' - As with any other Pokémon podcast, ''P.U.C.L'' has a segment focusing on a Pokémon of the hosts' choosing. Referencing [[Smogon University's]] competitive usage articles, the hosts also look at their chosen Pokémon's [[Bulbapedia]] article and often read off the Pokémon's stats and "Trivia" section from there. Afterwards, they discuss their personal opinions of the chosen Pokemon.

*'''Mailbag''' - Listeners of the ''P.U.C.L.'' send in e-mails and feedback and are read on the air as part of the "Mailbag" segment. ''P.U.C.L.'' then asks a "Mailbag Question" that is answered in most e-mails for the next episode. While it is still recorded as the listeners' most favorite part of the podcast, the theme song for it is no longer a playing of "Mailtime" from the Nickelodeon children's show ''{{wp|Blue's Clues}}'' before Thatch and his co-hosts read the e-mails. Starting with episode 97, after they've read all the e-mails for the episode, the hosts award the "Green Tauros Badge" to an e-mailer who they think wrote the best e-mail of the episode based on grammar and content. The badge is added to the user's P.U.C.L. profile, provided that they have a profile on the website.

*'''Outro/"{{wp|Closing Time (Semisonic song)|Closing Time}}"''' - The podcast ends with Thatch giving a new "Mailbag Question" for the next episode and mentioning the e-mail address for listeners to send their feedback. After a bit of chatter and encouragement to check out the podcast's various social media outlets, Thatch usually says, "Until next time on the ''PUCL Podcast'', I'm Trainer Thatch," then after the co-host(s) mention their names, Thatch continues, "And here at [the ''PUCL Podcast'' or a location in the [[Pokémon world]] where the podcast has supposedly been recorded], it's closing time." Before a recording of a ''P.U.C.L.'' unique closing song was made, during or after these final lines, the song "Closing Time" by alternative rock band {{wp|Semisonic}} played (with the first verse usually coming in right after Thatch says "it's closing time") until it faded out after the first chorus.
