Listen, this isn’t technically for a video game but a) we thought you might like it anyway and b) VideoGamer is on the side of justice, the course of which has clearly been perverted in this video.

​

Pokémon TCG (The Card Game) is getting an expansion, launching in the UK from October 6, which brings new Shining Pokémon. This video is, confusingly, not about that, but rather celebrates the launch of Pokémon TCG: Sun and Moon — Burning Shadows. But that’s not important.

What is important is that Team Skull and Team Pikachu engage in a dance battle, which Team Pikachu wins, despite the fact that Team Skull does some actual break dancing moves and Team Pikachu does some syncronised stepping and bobbing. If the dance battle was actually being judged on dancing Team Skull would clearly have won.

I like pikachu as much as anyone. But not like this. Not like this.
