Hey there Hat Lovers,
We just flew back from Indy, and BOY are our arms tired. What a Nats trip it was, and man did we ever learn a lot. But keeping it short, here are 25 things we learned at US Nats.
- Frustration Kangaskhan is definitively better
- Using Transform Smeargle? Breed for HP Ice
- Fried Pickles are incredibly disappointing

- Stempe is too strong at Pokermon
- Alex Ogloza is too strong period
- Speaking of which, who needs Protect?
- Life Orb Aegislash #TheWayOfTheFuture
- Zapdos > Talonflame
- Talonflame > the meta
- Baseball signs… brilliant
- Crawdaunt is a spy, even if he doesn’t know it
- Hey… genuine shout-out to Pokemon for running a very smooth, very enjoyable tournament! They can do that.
