While most species in the Pokémon world follow a simple two- or three-stage evolutionary line, Eevee […]
Many lifelong Pokémon card collectors were first introduced to the hobby with the Pokémon TCG 2-Player Starter set, which featured a guaranteed Machamp holographic card. Machamp holds a special place in my heart because of that, which I think of every time I throw my Machamp out to bust up a Rock-type in Pokémon GO. There's […]
