Champs in the Making - Ranking Every Pokémon – Details, episodes & analysis

Riley texted the group chat for all the TOG podcasters and said "who up" and sent us a bracket of 800+ Pokémon. Then we hit record. In this initial episode, Riley, Marn, Andrew, Jo, and Wheels sit down and talk about round bats, shifty trees, dirt eating bugs, and haunted doll monkeys.

Marn needed a crack team of hosts to finish the fourth round of the Champs bracket. Logan, Ty, Clowne, and Jacqueline answered the call. Join them as they discuss the Dragonite postal workers' union, their friends Fuckhands McMike and Little Ball Chin, and whether Shedinja's whole shtick is strong enough to get it into Round 5.
