Since the introduction of XL candy in late 2020, the impact of XL Pokemon in GBL has been a hot debate. Today I share an analysis of the frequency of XL & Legendary Pokemon in Ultra League, which is arguably the tier most impacted by their arrival, alongside some Legend-tier UL gameplay.

Today’s video is many things — a story, a fact check, a review. If you’ve ever seen the meme about how Americans overcomplicated their writing utensils during the Space Race while the Soviets “just used a pencil,” you owe it to yourself to get the real story, and maybe pick up a Space Pen of your own.

BEHOLD! My first Pokemon Go Go Battle League video.
This is the team that helped me get to Legend for the first time in Season 8, and I’m currently making a Legend push with it in Season 9 — yesterday I went 17/25 (including a 5-0!) in the 2,800 range, so it definitely still holds up against the Season 9 meta!
If you enjoyed this and would like to see more Pokemon Go content from me, leave a comment.
EDIT: Hit Legend with this team on Oct 17! Made for about a +400 point ELO gain since Great League started back up! Definitely has the power to take you to top rank again in Season 9!
If you have a traditional job, every time you get paid, there may be a lingering question in your mind. Somehow, the amount of this paycheck doesn’t come out to my hours times my pay. Why?
On today’s video, we’re going to dig deep into the gap between “gross income” and “net income.” What lives in the space there? Is that money stolen by the government for taxes? What is it used for? How much do I get to keep (or get back)?

Does Your Vote Count?
The 2020 election has concluded, and it’s time for a review. Unlike 2016, the 2020 electoral vote leaned the same direction as the popular vote. Even so, there were plenty of flaws, and plenty of risk now and in the future.
In Trav Talks #4, we talk about how and why the Electoral College system is an active volcano… one that has gone off 5 times in US history, and bigger eruptions are possible if we don’t address it.
Luckily, there are some very good, practical, feasible ways that we can fix it and strengthen our union.

It’s finally here… my biggest and most ambitious project yet. In this video, we’re going to take a look at the last 40 years of the US economy and see what we can learn about government spending, taxation, the effects of stimulus, and all of these things’ impact on economic growth and unemployment.

“Law and Order” is a headline topic right now. But while we all want a more peaceful society, we couldn’t be more divided on how best to achieve it.
I’m concerned that some of us are actively working against our own interests. Let’s talk about it today in this new video.

This first episode of Trav Talks was not something I had planned on doing, and especially not how I planned on starting the series. But it was an important enough subject that I had to jump in.
