It's Super Effective: A Pokemon Podcast

Featuring RealBreakingNate (interview starts at 56 mins into the episode). Pokémon Sword/Shield leaks have happened, revealing most of the PokéDex, but we don't talk about it this episode. We tackle Cosmic Eclipse, the new TCG set, the anime is set to debut Pikachu's origin story as a Pichu, and the recent Pokémon GO event fell flat for a lot of fans. Healthy living returns this episode too!! A bonus 45 mins of the podcast, talking about leak culture, can be found free on our Patreon page.
