Episode 2 - The Shake Up

The Play! Pokémon Podcast

It's Episode 2 of The Play! Pokémon Podcast! In this week’s coverage of the Players Cup, Jay and Scott look over the Top 16 Trainers left in VGC, and Mia guides us through the TCG shake-up from rotation and the addition of Darkness Ablaze. Then, Brendan is let loose to talk about the incredible finals of Pokkén Tournament DX. If that's not enough, our Ace Trainers are left speechless by inspiring answers to The Question of the Week. Enjoy!
