Are you ready, trainers? Geek & Sundry has teamed up with The Pokémon Company International for a new miniseries, The Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown Showdown. Hosted by Alison Mattingly and featuring production by Hyper, the series brings celebrity guests to the studio to play Pokémon, all while discussing their careers and lives. Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown Showdown‘s first guest is Terry Crews. Geek & Sundry fans know this isn’t Crews’ first time swinging by to nerd out; he played Thodak the Blacksmith in an episode of CelebriD&D. Here, Terry Crews learns the ins and outs of playing the Pokémon TCG!

Somehow, we are not at all surprised the Terry Crews picks up throwing down Pokémon cards like he’s always known how to do it.

The party is just starting, too! Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown Showdown’s subsequent episodes will feature Jacob Batalon and Abigail Breslin. Batalon will battle on October 1, with Breslin’s turn at the table coming on October 8. They’ll play the Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown expansion and dive into the world of Pokémon TCG. And that’s not all! Each episode will offer a special surprise for Pokémon TCG Live players.

Catch new episodes of The Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown Showdown on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel on Tuesdays at 12p.m. PDT!
