The Shift Gear Podcast

This week the episode is broken up into 2 parts. In part 1, the boys recap their runs at NAIC with Cynthia's Garchomp ex & Grimmsnarl, as well as discuss the top 125 system and our final thoughts on it now that the season is over. In part 2, we're joined by Piper to talk about her run at NAIC, as well as quiz her on Toronto slang. A fun one this week for sure!

This week, we're joined by the Milwaukee Regional CHAMPION to talk all things Raging Bolt. What's the play moving forward?

 This week the fellas sit down with Mo Ideis to talk all things under the sun. What’s the meta shaping around next, and is there a secret play for Milwaukee we think is criminally underrated? 

It's gettin' itchy! Is it time to ban Budew amidst all of Dragapult ex's dominance?

This week the lads dig into Atlanta regionals and the meta breakdown we expect to see. Aneil still (self-admittedly) knows nothing about Pokemon and may continue to do so as raw reactions are a lot more entertaining than informed ones (jk, I'll be back soon). Are these Rocket's cards nuts?

Edit : I was wrong and Alex Ovechkin has missed *75* games over his 20 year career. That means he's played in over 95% of games in his career.
