Welcome to PocketMads
PocketMads started as a YouTube channel about Pokémon TCG Pocket, with daily videos covering deck lists, news and strategy. It’s grown into a bit more than that, so here’s a quick tour of everything under the PocketMads umbrella and what this blog is for.
The videos
The heart of PocketMads is still the YouTube channel: new videos every day covering deck guides, meta breakdowns, set reviews and tournament runs. If you’re new, that’s the best place to start. The latest uploads are always on the home page here.
The app
app.pocketmads.com is our free companion app for Pocket players:
- Deck builder: build, save and share deck lists with full card search across every set.
- Tournament data: results and archetype breakdowns from competitive play, so you can see what’s actually winning.
- Match play: a ranked queue with leaderboards for playing matches against other people in the community.
There are no paywalls. It’s built for the community and it stays free to use.
The community
The Discord server is where most of the day-to-day conversation happens: deck help, tournament pings, meta arguments, and a direct line to Mads and the regulars. We also stream on Twitch and run community tournaments through Limitless. Links to everything are in the footer.
What the blog is for
Some things don’t fit a video. Written deck guides you can skim mid-match, meta reports with the numbers laid out, set reviews you can search and come back to. That’s what will live here: the same content the channel covers, in a form you can read at your own pace.
New posts will show up on the home page and on the blog index. If there’s something you’d like covered, tell us or drop it in the Discord.
Thanks for reading. See you in the next one.
