Pokésports: A Competitive Pokémon Podcast

On this week's episode, we get into Charlotte Regionals. x-3 is a rather controversial score at the moment, and we get fully into that. We also chat about the uniqueness of Pokemon as an esport, and you'll never guess which Pokemon is coming to Gamestop! Check out our links here! https://www.pokesports.info

Talking about what makes Glastrier great always warrants interrupting a whole segment. Today we talk about the best new Pokemon Masters EX character, the solved Series 2 meta showing itself in Utrecht, and we answer your questions! It's a fun time. Now then, everybody toss your arms in the sky and send Kevin your strength for this weekend's Charlotte Regionals! Check out our links here! ht...

If you find yourself a spicy goldfish, you put it on everything! How many teams will have Chi-Yu on it, or will teams actually end up with Wo-Chein or Ting-Lu? If you asked me 4 months ago, I would've laughed in your face. Now, not so much. We also discuss Vancouver Regionals and the Paldea Prologue! It's a cool one. Check out our links here! https://www.pokesports.info

Regulation C is just around the corner, and Kevin's got all the details for you on what's good, what's not, what's hot & what's Chi-Yu. Also, it looks like we're getting yet another new non-Paldean Pokemon! Could this mean something further down the line?

It's Pokémon Day for Mike & Kevin, and it having been just a little bit after the official stream with all the new information dropping, the boys are super excited to see what's new & exciting in the world of Pokémon. Even since then, so much more information has dropped, so we hope you're staying tuned to Pokésports to see all the new and exciting (and Ruinous) things coming up! Check out...

Well, it looks like Scarlet & Violet reinvented math! In a new version of our earlier Math Episode (Episode 11), Mike runs through the importance of the damage calculation, terastalization, and critical hits. It'd be nice if you critically hit the follow button. Heh heh. Check out our links here! https://www.pokesports.info

It's the end of an era. Pokemon Sword and Shield will always have a large place in our hearts, as it was not only the first game where we attended multiple competitions, both in-person and online, but also the game that kicked off all of Pokesports. We can't wait to keep things going with Scarlet and Violet, but we thought it'd be fun to go over each VGC series in SwSh and think back to some of th...

It's so close, we can smell it! Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are just around the corner, and we're ready to talk about all of the (officially) revealed content. We chat about all of the new reveals over the past week, the recent trailer, and so much more! 

Todays episode is Mike & Kevin further discussing the slow death of Sword and Shield. Ultimate Finale, Zoroark, and Pack Battles! This episode has it all.

It looks like all the cool kids were invited to play Pokémon. While Kevin and Mike watch from behind the glass as it rains outside but is also somehow sunny in the park the Pokémon players are playing in, they at least talk about what they see and try to develop an equal amount of hype. Also the goodest boy was revealed while we were recording. He'll play with you...while he eats your soul! Lastly...

Sword & Shield's Ultimate Finale competition is heading our way! Get hype.  Clefable is fun, Zoroark is coming, and so much more! Check this out!
