135 - A Bit of Wigglett Room
We're proud to be the internet's newest Competitive Pokémon Podcast. Trophy Garden walked so we could run and all that. We welcome our friends to the podcasting space! In honor of that, we'll discuss Wigglett, rant about Dodrio scoring, and talk about your suggestions for new Unite mons!

134 - Build A Unite-Mon!
Needless to say, there's a ton of source material in the Pokémon world for Unite to create Pokémon from, and your answers showed that. More and more new Pokémon are being added to Unite, and with good reason - the multitude of ways to use Pokémon has already been established, and MOBAs are already far and away proven in their concept. Kevin and Mike discuss what Pokémon would be cool to see! They also discuss Scarlet and Violet, and which Pokémon, of those already revealed (new or otherwise), are going to be worth taking a look at.

131 - The Unite Overhaul
Pokémon Unite is a different game. The biggest patch the game has ever seen has just dropped, and Mike has been playing the ever loving stuffing out of it. In this, you can hear his thoughts, his explanation of what's going on, and how this has improved or detracted from the game. Kevin's got his predictions for how that will shape things out, and they're already pretty darn close. This episode was recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio. We're so thankful for them for having us yet again, and we can't wait to head back next time! If you're interested in the video version of this podcast, you can see that on any tier on our Patreon!

126 - Mythical Pokémon in VGC?!
What a strange world we live in. We've been doing nothing but talk about the possibility of Mythical Pokemon in VGC for the longest time - we even started a series on it. Now, lo and behold, TPCi has slapped Mythicals into VGC for the first time ever! Is it gamechanging? Is it game breaking? Does it not really matter? Do the fact that you can now bring 6 restricted Pokémon make things even tougher? Kevin and Mike investigate! Check out Pokesports.org to see everything we've got going on!
