They’re a packaged deal.

I finally acquired one of my personal Pokémon TCG chases: the original sealed Team Rocket Theme Decks.

I love Team Rocket, but more importantly, these remind me of my father who would always help me get random WotC products when I was a child.

I can't wait to clean these up and shelve them.

Patiently waiting for Animal Crossing’s Switch 2 upgrade…

31st acquisition of Master Rank in Pokémon UNITE. Here’s hoping the new higher tier provides a better environment for competition.

Really love the drill in Kirby Air Riders.

Two PFL Pokémon TCG Pre-Release flights left me with just a single, standard EX.

Decide to open two MEG packs and pulled the Mega Lucario SIR.

Guess we’re even now Fates…

Got a Booster Box at MSRP and hit slightly above average.

Pretty pleased!

Really loving online battles in Pokémon ZA.

Timing Protects is so satisfying.

This isn't the best water deck, but I wanted to play something that wasn't Turbo Acceleration Wailord.

With just ~6 water energies (4 basics) and Wash Out. I was able to do a lot of fun recycling to make it work, and it comboed VERY well with Articuno.

All in all, really proud of this deck.

My final match was against Turbo Normal. I had a rough opening hand and they were able to get online very quickly.

Luckily I was able to perfectly stall with Wishiwashi for 2 turns, who scattered before death, and come back with a Lapras backed with Ludicolo and Quagsire to outlast the opponents.

In my early match against Fighting, I had to play aggressive because my opponent had a rough starting setup.

Rushing Inteleon lead to some quick KO's and the incredible Drizzile allowed me to quickly call for Silent Lab to prevent any draw from my opponent with the new Solrock/Lunatone combo.

Won my second @classiccitypokemon.bsky.social Pokémon Gym Leader Challenge Tournament of the 2025-2026 season with Water!

Fell in love with Inteleon's "Bring Down" from MEG Pre-Release and felt it worked very well with Ludicolo's "Vibrant Dance".

Below are my thoughts!

Won my first @classiccitypokemon.bsky.social Pokémon Gym Leader Challenge Tournament of the 2025-2026 Season with Fire!

DRI's Rapidash finally makes Fire GLC reliable with good support options. I'll write more thoughts down after I sleep well tonight. 🔥

Spragels and @doobsnax.bsky.social holding up the Pokemon UNITE scene with Joe Rogan and 69 jokes. Maybe this timeline isn't so bad.

Phantom Liberty is “spy thriller Cyberpunk” in the best way. Exciting set pieces, strong writing, fun new tools, and a final mission that thrills. Dogtown’s setting is dull, but the gigs are high quality. A fun, secret agent thrill that is amplified by everything fun in Cyberpunk. 9/10.

Haven’t gotten a penta kill playing Pokémon UNITE in a while. Glad I haven’t lost the Lucario sauce.

Won last night’s @classiccitypokemon.bsky.social Pokémon Gym Leader Challenge with Dragon after just one week.

Really powerful deck with so many different paths. Went with Appletun instead of Flapple just because I like him more.

Only change is maybe an Escape Rope for more switch options.
