The Lush Jungle event (and Spring) has our allergies flaring up. With the new event, Fomantis and Laurantis enter Pokémon GO and PvP, with an updated moveset for the latter. Wild speculation about April’s Community Day ensues before we discuss Nemesis Cup, Silph Arena’s April meta.
Jesse and Steven will be going to the Antimater & Mazer Gaming’s “Nexus League Seattle'' open Great League tournament on April 24th. If you are in the area and want to participate too, more information can be found here: http://nlseattle.antimatter.gg

Will there be any move updates in the next season? Steven puts on a tinfoil hat, while Jesse salts up some beef with the lack of rank and improvements to PvP recently. Silph Arena’s Obsidian Cup arrives in March and we take a look and the darks and pseudo fighters that rule the meta.

February is JAM PACKED with events and PvP formats and we go over what we know is upcoming for events, raids, and some PvP relevant Pokémon. February brings a new Silph meat in the Guardian Cup, the first ever meta built upon a Pokémon’s move set, so we take a look at the bans, what's eligible, and how this meta is going to work.
This episode's Community Question: Build a team of three based on a theme, inspired by the Jhoto Tour Gym Trainer Contest.
