Hello, everyone! This is Episode 40 of "The Show 6 Podcast", where we bring you the highest quality coverage of the Play! Pokémon Championship Series for Pokémon GO! We explore the plays, the players, and everything else happening in the competitive scene.

Welcome in to the Show 6 Podcast, where we break down the Championship Series for Pokémon GO. Today, we're recording our last episode of the year. We'll be covering Buenos Aires, Las Vegas, Stuttgart, and LAIC. In Buenos Aires, LNDsAureo rose from the Loser's Side bracket with his MVP Shadow Kanto Marowak alongside Charjabug and Jellicent to win it all in Buenos Aires. In Las Vegas, Doonebug and his Talonflame folded to Reis2Occasion in the Winners Finals, but went on a heater to reach the grand finals, where he then hit back to back series wins to take the Gold. In Stuttgart, Inadequanec dressed as Team Galactic's Cyrus summoned the titan of the Distortion World, Shadow Giratina Altered, and mercilessly crushed the bracket. Finally, at LAIC, NiteTimeClasher's Metang and Dewgong ascended through the bracket, and culminated in an epic clash with P4T0M4N. NTC would not be denied, as he bounced back from a reverse sweep to win the Grand Finals reset.

In this episode, we'll review the players, the Pokémon, and the epic storylines of these 4 events. We'll also discuss GO Battle League's new Interlude season, what we expect to see in Toronto, and a sneak peek at the EUIC limited meta. That, and so much more.
