We transition over to talking about Toxic Cup and it's interesting and diverse meta. Our last topic before we wrap up a Sloppy Joe of an episode is Swap moves (i.e. Baton Pass, Whirlwind, etc.) from the main series games and how they could translate to Pokemon Go PvP, and how they might make for new levels of mastery.   Our opening theme is "Radio Tower Takeover Remix" by GlitchxCity.
