228 - The Incineroar Episode
from Pokésports: A Competitive Pokémon Podcast · host StillJustMike, xRazeOvation
In this episode, we finally try to answer the question that's been haunting every team sheet for months: why is Incineroar on literally everything? Mike presents his (Harvard-pending) thesis on why a 530 BST Pokémon with mediocre defenses keeps showing up in every Top 5. We also get into Ranked Season MA2, the first regional on Champions in Indianapolis, what mobile release could do to the player base, and which Pokémon "belong" to which players. Also: Kevin is theorizing about Winds and Waves, Mike is mad at his rank reset, and somehow the podcast is back on schedule.
