Christmas Cards Ordered!

Hello! Just a small update! The yearly Christmas cards should be here this week. Just like every year, I do hand-sign all of these and try to include some goodies in each. Although since the DLC is coming out, they may not arrive before Christmas, but I'll do my best to get them out the door ASAP. 

There will be a free postcard going out for the holiday for new Patreon members. They won't be getting stickers, cards, or a personalized message, so when you see that g...

Pokémon UNITE is getting draft mode, EX Pokém...

One Day Only Sale

Hello! 

Patreon members are first to know I reopened the shop today with very VERY limited items. I have some older shirts, including a couple extra of the Cram shirts in a couple sizes. I also had a couple leftover candles from our launch in June and more importantly a handful of cassette tapes from our music collaboration. 

I'll be shipping out any of these orders by the end of this week. Base shipping (USA) is $5.99 because I am not Amazon and need to pay for shipping...

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for the support. I know that giving a couple bucks to a podcaster is not a priority for anyone, so the fact that you all do support means the world to me.

The podcast is something I look forward to recording every single week and I am always trying to think of how to make it better. I like to make stuff that I would personally enjoy consuming myself, so that is how I structure the podcast, livestreams, YouTube videos, and graphics that I put o...

We Played the Indigo Disk DLC

Nintendo invited me out to New York to play a bit of the Indigo Disk DLC early. I got a small session of the open area dome that you are put in. I got another small session of 1 Elite 4 battle. This DLC seems very battle focused with every NPC offering you a Double Battle. The release date for the DLC is December 14th, 2023. The Indigo Disk has players traveling to Blueberry Academy, a sister school of their own academy, as exchange students.

Best Mew Counters to use against the 7-Star Psychic Mewtwo Raids! Here are 3 different Mew builds you can use against Mewtwo based on your play-style in Raids.

Quick Hello From Japan

Here are some photos from Week 1 of Japan. If you want me to post more here, please comment!

Side note, Patreon moved their banking meaning a lot of people got denied charges or it just didn’t go through. If you’re monthly, this probably effected you, annual plans should be fine. Sorry about this.

50+ Questions Answered About Pokémon Sleep

The Pokémon Company International invited me out to New York to play Pokémon Sleep early! I was about to experience the full first day in the game and answer you questions about it. TPCi paid for both my flight and hotel.  

If I got anything wrong or incorrect, it's probably because I only had one night with the game and some features of the game required more than one play session, so I apologize if that's the case!

How to Defeat 7-Star Delphox Guide!

I spent over 5 hours calculating a strong special Fairy Delphox build! Delphox was a bit tricky due to the three types, Fire, Psychic, and Fairy having excellent coverage. Lucky for us, Pokémon HOME gave us a ton of Pokémon that counter this 7-Star Raid very well. I have also included Pokémon in the base game for those who don't have HOME or Legends Arceus.
