[Featuring JoeUX9)] The 2026 rules are now out with some updates and changes, but it also hints that Mega Pokémon are coming back to VGC? We talk about Pokémon Champions and how it can go really well or really bad depending on how they launch it. Pokémon TCG is also getting Mega news on July 10th. Pokémon did a gameshow and $20 seems too much for a single Golden Bottle Cap in GO.
