Our newest guide in the Psylab goes over the various regional forms added since Gen 7, as well as all of the "generational gimmicks" that typical stick around for only one set of games: Megas, Z-Moves, Dynamax and Gigantamax, and Terastallization!

Our guide explaining status conditions in the Pokemon series also has been updated to add information from all the games since Gen 5!

When new Pokemon cards are revealed, I don't know why people get excited anymore. First of all, this is a scalper and hoarder game now. Second of all, Pokemon doesn't care because the product sells out. Third of all, even if you get packs somehow, the pull rates are as bad as you can imagine. Tired.

I've seen this posted a lot and it just really hits home when you realize that history is truly repeating itself. 😱

Psyduck remains the most relatable Pokemon.

Here you go, I've summarized it in a single graphic note card that you can refer back to later. When it's all laid out like this, it's suddenly very simple, right? Right...?

Back in November last year, we published our interview with Frost from Psypoke, to learn about the history of this iconic fansite from the past! Here it is again just in case you didn't catch it the first time: johto.substack.com/p/interview-...

I wrote most of this one in the last couple days. Good memories of yesteryear where I'd write some guide of Pokemon minuitia and my friends who are actually coders would clean it up and make it presentable.

Here is the first new page in the Psylab in quite some time - a dynamic chart that lists all of the Pokemon that have a specific type combination (as well as the 9 dual types still not used in the series)! www.psypokes.com/lab/typelist...

Our Amnesia Attack for all 1025 Pokemon was recently redesigned to fit more of the long list onscreen - how many can you name?

It would have been so crazy if JFK dodged the bullet at the last moment thus activating Witch Time and allowing for a powerful combo counterattack. But unfortunately that was not possible back then

Everyone's excited for the new Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion, but tbh I have a lot of resentment that so much unique art is being held captive in a digital phone game. 🫠

Sad but true that this lyric only becomes more and more relatable in my struggle against the ravages of time.

I always thought it was too selective with my Youtube subs, but I follow a lot more than I thought. The first and the last in A-Z order being my horror movie muses is also fitting.

Of all the attacks from Generation 1, only three have never appeared in the TCG in any way: Acid Armor, Haze, and Struggle.

Of all the Gen 1 Pokemon that are, or at one time were, fully evolved, there is only one who has never received a holo in the TCG...

2019's Unified Minds set, by total coincidence, included GX cards of our two mascots (Mew and Jirachi), as well as a tag team of Psypoke themselves - Psyduck and Slowpoke. 💜

The stealth +98 does all the extra lifting here. Azumarill with Huge Power has effectively base 149 Attack, not base 100. Mega Mawile has base 259, not base 210. Notice for double stat effects it's a difference of 49 base points. For Eviolite it's a difference of ~24 (iirc the games would floor .5).

I understand that this is super nitpicky and nerdy of me, but I wish base stats of Pokemon weren't represented like this. The formula to convert base stats to max stats is (base*2)+98, and you apply changes like Eviolite to the max stats. An Evio P2 would have base 167 SpDef, not 142.
