Battle Science Podcast: a Pokemon Go PvP Podcast

Battle Science - Oct 11: Sept Move Changes & Sinister

Steven (aBoyInTheWoods) and Jesse (RocketAdminJ) go back in time and cover September 27th's move update and how that affects Sinister cup. Sinister has officially begun as well, so the crew talks a little bit more about what teams people have been running and what to look out for.

We also talk more about the #WeNeedWillOWisp movement, and the way status effects and flinching (both mechanics in the main series of Pokemon games) could be translated to Pokemon Go.

Battle Science - Preface to Sep 27th Episode

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER 27TH EPISODE! 

We recorded the September 27th episode of Battle Science earlier in the week, and just before we published it (on Friday), Niantic pushed an update pertaining to a number of Sinister Cup eligible Pokemon and moves. This is a disclaimer saying that what we talked about in the episode is about the meta prior to these recent changes. Thank you all for listening!
