Pokémon HOME Soon, But Lots of Bugs
Pokémon HOME got a release date, and then that release date got pulled the next day? We at least know what v3.0.0 of Pokémon HOME will have when it comes out. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet was supposed to have new Raids, but they also got pulled this weekend.

Have You Evolved Your Larvesta
We found out the hatch rates for Larvesta and it's not... good. On top of that, Niantic sent a push notification that felt a bit insulting to players. It's been reported that Pokémon GO had a downfall in profits, but we go more in-depth about that. Pokémon Trading Card Game Live gets an official release date, but that means the sunset of Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is coming. Finally, we talk about t-shirts and anime. 00:00:20 - Introduction 00:04:40 - Larvesta Hatch Rates00:14:20 - Falling Prices00:28:30 - Break00:32:00 - PTCG Live Release Date00:42:00 - Pokémon Masters EX T-Shirts00:50:00 - Hisuian Snow01:02:00 - Post Credits 🌐 www.pkmncast.com👾 www.twitch.tv/pkmncast📸 www.instagram.com/pkmncast📝 www.reddit.com/r/supereffective🐦 www.twitter.com/pkmncast🎥 www.youtube.com/pkmncast📀 www.tiktok.com/@pkmncast💰 Support on PatreonAd this episode is from Aura Frames!
