I’m Not Telling You to Buy Kabuto Cards… But Also Maybe I Am

This week on That Pokémon Podcast, Jim and Christian dive into one of the weirdest hobby stories of the year: the Kabuto King, a collector who bought nearly every Kabuto card from the Fossil era and accidentally created a $20 micro-economy… before auctioning a custom card for $51,000 and somehow Logan Paul was involved. We talk market manipulation, charity, and why this absolutely should not inspire you to buy 1,800 Omanytes. Then we jump into the news, including the reveal of Perfect Order, the next Pokémon TCG set featuring Mega Zygarde, Mega Gallade, and maybe Mega Greninja. We also break down Pokémon GO’s new remote trading system, the return of GO Fest to Chicago in 2026, and which friendships you need at level five to make it all work. The boys also react in real time to the drop of the Alpha Charizard mystery gift and try to make sense of its massive size. Plus: Meowth’s inconsistent anatomy becomes the Pokémon Fact of the Week nobody was prepared for. As always, join the Discord, send us your gameplay pics  and help us settle the new community poll: Meowth, better on two legs or four? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
