A "filler" episode generally refers to an episode of a Japanese Anime that is used to delay a series while the Manga is released, so that the show can more closely follow it. This is why there are Anime series that reach anywhere from 200-900 episodes. So yeah, there's going to be filler there, due to the way that type of cartoon is created.

In a 65(ish) episode made-for-syndication western cartoon, there is hardly ever filler. There's no need for it, plus they rarely have the time to waste. Don't confuse development of characters, foreshadowing of future events, or parallels to characters/events with needless and unnecessary fluff.
