It's Super Effective is a Pokémon-centric podcast hosted by Steve Black Jr., also known by his initials SBJ, and is the flagship show of PKMNcast.com. It's Super Effective began on July 26, 2010, two days after the launch of the website, which began as PokémonPodcast.com. The show begins with a discussion of Pokémon news and then segues into either a special topic or a "Featured Team," a user-submitted Pokémon team to which the hosts give advice, compliments, and criticism.
It is currently the most popular Pokémon podcast on iTunes and Zune, having taken the top Pokémon podcast spot from The Pallet Tribune's WTPT - Pokémon Radio.

| 11-20 | "Pokémon [Color] Version" |
| 21-30 | "The [Subject]" |

| 41-50 | Jay-Z songs |
| 51-60 | "[Letter] as in [Subject beginning with said letter]" (Sesame Street) |
| 61-70 | Film titles |

- News - The hosts discuss recent events in the Pokémon community.
- Extremespeed - Steve and occasionally another cast member grill another cast member (usually a new guest) with a string of questions, usually pertaining to a personal preference between two Types, Pokémon, or Items.
- Featured Team - Steve and the cast give comments and constructive criticism on a listener's submitted team of Pokemon. Steve has said that this is reminiscent of a similar feature in Nintendo Power magazines he read in his childhood.
