It's Super Effective: A Pokemon Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This show is one of my favorite podcasts! It’s informative, entertaining and often hilarious. When I first got into Pokémon I searched for a Pokémon podcast hoping to learn more about the game. Little did I know I was entering into a show I would continue to listen to for 4 years consistently, even when I would take breaks from the game. I love how honest they are about their experience of Pokémon both the good and the bad. The aspect I think I’ve appreciated most though is having my fandom for a “kids game” being validated as an older adult in various ways by them. Steve, Greg and Hannah are so genuine and relatable for me. Also their fan community is amazing! Thank you PKMNcast!!

Hey there! I’ve been a listener since 2019. The show has always been great, but I’ve LOVED the addition of Hannah. I love her analysis of the story, and how much care she has for the characters and points the games are trying to get across. I also have really enjoyed Greg’s Pokemon Unite analysis. And Steve puts so much effort into gathering the news, reporting on it well, and making all of the graphics for the news/game events. The show is incredible, and I just appreciate all of you that put in all the hard work to bring a high quality, but still whimsical show. Thank you!

This show covers all of Pokémon (TCG, main series games, Sleep, anime, PoGo, and even… Van Gogh?). I love the main hosts as well as the special guest hosts when there’s specific PokéNews. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. They can sometimes be critical of certain things with Pokémon, but that gives the podcast balance and shows they’re all true fans of this franchise.

This podcast is fantastic in every way. Well produced, interesting, engaging and often hilarious. It is one of things I look forward to most each week. If you are a fan of Pokémon in any way, this is a necessity for your ears.

Can be annoying at times. Steve breaks down into giggles for no apparent reason with almost every sentence and often sets up straw man arguments to prove a point over things no one is really doing. The hosts all individually know a lot and it can be a fun listen occasionally. But more often than not they get too lost in the weeds and end up on a ranger and/or beating a topic to death.
