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.

Podcast

Segments

  • Introduction - Steve usually begins with "What's up, everybody?" and introduces the cast members.
  • 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 Pokémon. Steve has said that this is reminiscent of a similar feature in Nintendo Power magazines he read in his childhood.
  • Pokémon of the Week - Steve and the cast usually end the show with talking about one Pokémon in particular. This sometimes relates to the weekly articles on the website. The chat ranges between facts of the Pokémon, movesets recommendations, and sometimes debates on whether or not the shiny form is cool.

Guests

These people have made one or two appearances on the show, either as a co-host or as an interviewee.

Episode titles

Since its debut in 2010, the podcast has followed a naming convention for the titles of each episode, which changes every ten episodes:
