The $87,000 Cheetozard Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

Cresselia soon arrives to Pokémon Sleep and we get Munna as we get closer to that event. Honda makes a Koraidon, but you cannot sit on it. Pokémon GO Global Unova Tour makes as much money as Global Hoenn Tour through app-store purchases, but most likely more due to web-store purchases. The Lucky Trinket had weird limits. We talk about the $87,000 Cheetozard and how Pokémon stuff is really weird. More Triumphant Light talk.
