Beach Court Podcast

This week on the Beach Court Podcast, the gang provides updates on what happened during Pokémon Presents 2025 and our reactions on all of the announcements during the show. 

James Cox also joins the podcast for an interview to discuss all things Dragapult to answer the question everyone has, is Dragapult the best deck in format?

We bring back a quick segment of Crispin's Corner to see who was cooking the most and provide our insight on what the best decks are for the upcoming Vancouver Regional Championships.
