As part of its ongoing efforts to promote all things related to the beloved and popular Pokémon franchise, The Pokémon Company International has shared special content featuring Metagross:
Get ready for an all-new Pokémon trivia game show with a twist, broadcasting live.
On June 27, 2025, an all-new live show is coming to the Pokémon Twitch channel—the Gotta Catch ’Em All! Game Show, hosted by Brian David Gilbert, a writer, actor, and musician known for his work on Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake and his Unraveled video series for Polygon. As a Pokémon rapper and keeper of the facts, Brian joins us to lead three contestants through a multiple-choice trivia quiz with a twist: each question is paired with a Pokémon for a contestant to catch!
Answering trivia questions correctly will be the contestants’ test, and catching four victory Pokémon is their cause! That’s right—to win the game, players must answer questions and catch one of each of the four victory Pokémon: Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
Including the four Victory Pokémon needed to win the game, our contestants will have the chance to collect a total of six Pokémon while they play, each with different One-Time Effects that can shake things up. Some Pokémon have supportive effects, benefiting the players and creating an advantage, while others are mischievous, using their effects to disrupt the game.
There’s also Magikarp, who can use Splash. That doesn’t do anything to affect the game, but we’re glad to see it so excited about trivia.
Watch our full explainer video below to learn more about the game show.
