Pokésports: A Competitive Pokémon Podcast

Mike and Kevin break down all 7 megas still missing from Pokémon Champions. From Mega Salamence to the three brand-new Z Pokémon (Garchomp Z, Absol Z, and Lucario Z) and what their stats, typings, and abilities could mean for the meta. Plus Kevin's Mega Scolipede + Barbaracle doofus squad recap, pro-level Sableye foul play tech, and a round of Two Types, One Mon! Burden your Sneasler. Or don&#...

We had NO idea they'd add the Pokemon they did for Regulation M-B. In the meantime, come listen to our thoughts on terrain specifically. Check out our podcast, social channels, and much more!https://pokesports.info

Matt Bruno (BruneauxVGC) Joins us for a super exciting episode in which we discuss the Mega Raichus that will soon be impacting our meta, as well as the phones you currently have that will be housing them. Champions is on Mobile June 17th! We're eating good, folks.

It's Dipplin. Make sure you review!

In this episode, we finally try to answer the question that's been haunting every team sheet for months: why is Incineroar on literally everything? Mike presents his (Harvard-pending) thesis on why a 530 BST Pokémon with mediocre defenses keeps showing up in every Top 5. We also get into Ranked Season MA2, the first regional on Champions in Indianapolis, what mobile release could do to the pla...

Pokémon Champions has been out for a few weeks and the move and ability changes are piling up, so Mike and Kevin finally sit down to comb through the full list. Plus: Kevin's new Tuesday–Saturday schedule, tulip picking, and Mike accidentally drinks Pepsi. Big shoutout to Professor Knight and the legends in Discord who put together the change-tracking sheet that made this episode possible.

In this episode, we talk through what feels like the real beginning of the Pokémon Champions era. With Indianapolis set to be the first live official event using Champions, Scarlet & Violet finally winding down, and Regulation MMA still developing, there’s actually a lot to unpack. Also: Kevin was sick, Mike is entering his medieval era, and somehow we still got the episode out on time.

In this episode, Kevin and Mike reunite after a long break to dive deep into the newly released Pokémon Champions! They discuss everything from the return of Mega Evolutions and the surprisingly fast bug fixes by the developers, to the controversial new 3v3 singles format and the removal of IVs and EVs grinding. Is this the competitive game we've been asking for over the last five years? We al...

Alternative titles include: Eggspanding Force We discuss where you should book for Toronto Regionals, Louisville Regionals, and of course we touch on the biggest moment in Game Freak history since Pokémon was first released.

We do get into a little bit of news & stats, but this episode is all about the games, baby! If you have an idea of what to call the Pokémon Cries game, let me know.

Flamigo flapped its way right to the top of Regulation H. Good job Flamigo. You've been a very good bird. Also, Mike totally played Armarouge after this podcast, and he loves it.

In which Kevin and Mike catch up on all the things they missed while on vacation. Pokémon Unite's new roster, the 2024 World Championships, and all the stats any nerd could ever want!

In which Kevin and Mike take a long-deserved break from chatting about VGC, and instead discuss other important topics like wrestling, Ho-oh, and so much more!

Where Kevin and Mike do the deepest dive their little hearts will let them regarding Regulation H. Is Regulation H a breath of fresh air for VGC?

It's that time again. With Worlds just around the corner, Kevin and Mike start the countdown to see what kind of big changes are announced for 2025. That's what I would've said if PlayPokémon didn't just drop some massive news on the community. We discuss it in as much depth as we can.

Okay but Binacle is really scary and creepy and you can't convince me otherwise. It just gets weirder the more you look at it!

New Orleans was hot, but a certain fish was hotter. Mike and Kevin go over NAIC, Hong Kong & so much more in this action-packed episode.

This might be our longest episode yet! We spend some time talking Regionals, because of course, this is a competitive Pokémon podcast, but we answer a ton of your questions!

In which Mike and Kevin explain what one needs to do in order to get mentally prepared for a National Tournament. That's probably what the whole episode is about, but I wouldn't know, I've only listened to about 15 minutes around the middle of the episode.

Kevin and Mike get an EARful of Pok´mon Regionals. Some did really well, others had unique teams. Check it out!

It's not. It's the opposite of that. Regulation G (Chi) is here, but it doesn't really feel like it since Kevin has been playing Regulation G for pretty much a month now. Pokérogue is on the table, as well as the best (and dumbest) Pokémon quiz we've ever seen. You can play it yourself here!

Kevin and Mike discuss Brazil, online tournaments, and Zamazenta, who has turned out to be a much more of a good boy than when he was last on stage.

A sleepy Mike and a lucky Kevin discuss the Orlando Regionals, with its attendance sitting at over 800! Our good buddy Rowan Hall made it to the top 10 - major shoutout to The Game Corner.
