I have a fun idea for a challenge. Could y’all please catch eight Pokemon of your choice that all have random abilities. Both of you also get to pick out the move sets after catching the Pokemon. Once you both acquire teams, read off each of your team members’ Pokedex entries. If the one being read to correctly identifies a Pokemon entry, he gets the option to force a trade without knowing the moveset of the identified Pokemon. The player who gets the identity correct is also able to pick out a custom ability for the traded Pokemon. Sabotaging some of your own team members is legal. Let’s say that the two leftover Pokemon with easy Pokédex entries are physical attackers like Machamp. You can rigg the entire moveset to be special or support moves. The Pokemon can’t be pseudo legends, legends, paradox, ultra beast, mythical or, starters to make it a bit more challenging.
I have an idea, not sure if it's been done before, if it has well opps- You randomize the game, then a wheel decides what area of paldea you go to (like area zero, ect.) You catch the first 2 pokemon you see, don't tell the other person (except one round of your choice), and do this another 2 times, catching 6 pokemon from 3 randomly chosen areas and then fighting (optionally you could do the first fight then catch another 6 pokemon this way and after the second battle, if there's a third battle you could either chose 3 pokemon from both teams, or catch another set of six) Sounds a little time consuming but might turn out to be really fun! Edit: Merry Christmas Shady and Shady People!
13:40 idk what he was going for with that name but I'm pretty sure he meant the lion from 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' who is called Aslan😆
Luvdisc needs a Evo, like trade it after maxing friendship, to make it a water/dark type to symbolize heartbreak. Could be tankier like it hardened it's heart.
I’m so disappointed that Shady didn’t look into Meloetta’s stats more. He had the speed advantage by a mile, +1 attack, and didn’t just click knock? And then spam CC and win??? Come on man
Funny thing is Shady could have definitely used Agility on the Swords Dance. The Weakness Policy would have guaranteed an OHKO unless Luke used a water move
I think the person who broke into Shady's room was likely just a Pat viewer trying to ensure "Setting up doesn't help" gets ticked off on the BINGO board
Going to watch this later but just wanted to come say the thumbnail goes HARD. What if we got custom balls like this, make pokemon cards with trainers holding the pokemon's custom ball or displaying it. Giovanni with the Persian ball would be so cool!!!
Wish that we could see actual damage numbers when the pokemons get hit or the actual amount they heal when they used healing moves, same with the setup moves that boost specific attributes, like showing you, how much those stats were actually raised by, maybe only on the owner of the pokemon to not give info to the opponent.
Stat raises are always denoted in stages. Each of these stat changing moves changes what stage you're on, so getting intimidated gets you one stage lower while swords dance increases your attack by two stages. You can get as high as +6 and as low as -6. One positive stage is +0.5 to a multiplier. At the beginning of the battle you're at stage 0 with a multiplier of 1. So at stage two for example, your stat gets multiplied by 1+(2*0.5), so it gets doubled. Negative stat changes require you to use fractions, they multiply your stat by 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 2/6, 2/7, 2/8 for the stages down to -6. Being at stage -2 for example you have the multiplier 2/4, so your stat gets halved. Displaying these stats for everyone in the battle to see would be bad, since it would show your opponent exactly what the original stats of your pokemon are, and the information is unnecessary for the trainer since they already know their attacks now deal double or half damage.
time to go wild for an idea: getting closer to the new year, go to a randomized wild area, use 20 randomized abilities for whatever pokemon you inevetiably catch, 3 masterballs allowed, and for the pokemon, you're only allowed to catch small boys/girls so if you see a Zekrom, it's not allowed as he's too big, and if a shaymin is on screen, he's allowed, I'll let you set the height and weight limit and just for fun, do keep or trade with your opponent, you or anyone else can add to this to make it seem like a chaotic challenge and more fleshed out
I hope that they do this again, but THIS time, they use EVERY pokeball. Even the super obscure ones like Team Plasma Ball and the Atlantis Ball and the Park Ball. That would be cool
Battle Idea: Through your eyes! Wearing a blindfold, you pick your Pokemon from randomized starters. Normal abilities, randomized move set. No items I would think, unless you can put them on the Pokemon without knowing what the item is. You do not get to look at the Pokemon. Get your team, and enter the battle. Now for the catch: Swap screens with your opponent. Not sure how you do this, but im sure there is a screen sharing program you could use. From here on, you battle, but you see everything from your opponents viewpoint, and not your own. Meaning you get to see what moves your opponent has and pick, if/when they swap, what there team is when they swap, all of it, but your opponent is picking their moves blindly (you may give hints if your feeling generous, but why ruin the fun) Now to ensure some fairness, if you wish to switch, let your opponent know to make sure you click on the right spot. You do not however, get to see who your picking and will find out when you see it pop up on your opponents screen. This is also how you discover your move set, as it comes at you.

Hey shady my dads being dudes merch finally arrived the day before Christmas and i got to say its super high quality and the material feels super comfortable on my skin
I feel personally attacked, that Shady would call my BOI furret "Bad" while hes sitting over there with DELIBIRD as a mascot. Doesnt mean im gonna stop watching, but i want you to know, Mr. Penguin, you have officially been added to the SDF Auxillary company's watch list for this slight. you have been warned
Technically speaking, Poochyena doesn't get Moxie. It gets Rattled that turns into Moxie when it evolves. Just had to say that after Mr. Delibird himself disrepected Poochyena
Aqua jet as your only stab move on feraligatr is criminal, I would drop a coverage move if you really want jet but with the booster speed you don't need it.
Should have used Psychic Fangs against Typhlosion. Gotten it low. Took an Eruption at low power and weakness policy. If it didn't do a lot such that you survive one more and an Aqua Jet maybe Agility too.
The blatant disrespect to the stat difference in Meloettas forms is crazy Not many mons can survive a Specs 150 BP Tera Fire STAB Eruption from a Typhlosion Hisui as a neutral hit even at +1 Should have taken out Ting Lu with a Relic song. Pirouette form Meloetta is very very fast. You out speed and have Stab Close Combat with actual good Physical attack Hurt to see that 😭 It's my favourite Mythical and for once could have done some work

Edit: Merry Christmas Shady and Shady People!
great icon for your chosen 3rd starter, I'll give you many more ideas to come, there are infinite ways too
50shadys of grey
Shadys perfect ball is the classic poké ball, because it has delibirds colours and he’s bald
😂😂😂
Threw in a fun fact
And what about GBL's? I'm thinking quick ball
And what about Lukeys? im thinking quick ball?
💀
Ditto not getting a recap is disrespectful 😂
Ditto without Imposter is disrespectful 😂
I dead ass was like damn they forgot, the ditto recap..... Oh yeah, kinda obvious 😂
Also, Ditto just being upside down on the recap screen afterward
I mean what would need recapped? Transform + scarf. Simple lol
10:11 bro said “matchageist” with his chest 😭😭
Yea he did 😂
Totodile always goes in a Lure Ball, too iconic of a combo
Absolutely criminal that he didn’t say lure ball
I know right?
My heart broke when he said dive ball
8:02 lure ball tododile is cannon and matches the stripes
First thing that came to mind 😂
Thank you for saying it
It's criminal it's not in that ball and he calls himself a Pokemon connoisseur
Bro 100% tododile only goes in a lure ball
That Typhlosion really needed those Specs. The mon is blind.
13:40 idk what he was going for with that name but I'm pretty sure he meant the lion from 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' who is called Aslan😆
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that
29:34 the headset dent goes crazy
real
Luvdisc needs a Evo, like trade it after maxing friendship, to make it a water/dark type to symbolize heartbreak.
Could be tankier like it hardened it's heart.
I think giving it branching evos where you get water-fairy at high friendship and water-dark at low friendship would be fun
It evolves into Alomamola. True pokemon fans know this
I’m so disappointed that Shady didn’t look into Meloetta’s stats more. He had the speed advantage by a mile, +1 attack, and didn’t just click knock? And then spam CC and win??? Come on man
Tbf though, he did think the typhlosion was scarfed at first.
20:28 the IMMEDIATE regret lmao
I was so ready to see Contrary-Meloetta pop off, but of course Luke had to get the perfect counters with that Hisuian Typhlosion and Ting Liu
14:03 why is ditto dripping from the ceiling?
I honestly think Shady intentionally threw game 1 I’m serious.
Fun idea, but to make it easier to guess the correct mon, maybe the person could tell the guesser the category for each choice: "Lore" or "Design".
Before it started, I thought to myself I hope it's Luke cause I haven't seen him and Shady battle in a while and there we go.
Funny thing is Shady could have definitely used Agility on the Swords Dance. The Weakness Policy would have guaranteed an OHKO unless Luke used a water move
I thought so too but nah, I think Solgaleo would outspeed, not kill, take a +2 Crunch and then get aqua jetted
Shady out here getting scouted for baseball with how fast he be throwing game 1
I think the person who broke into Shady's room was likely just a Pat viewer trying to ensure "Setting up doesn't help" gets ticked off on the BINGO board
Oh I love the gifted being on the line for the third battle so it doesn’t give anything away. You truely are a creative genius
Going to watch this later but just wanted to come say the thumbnail goes HARD.
What if we got custom balls like this, make pokemon cards with trainers holding the pokemon's custom ball or displaying it.
Giovanni with the Persian ball would be so cool!!!
7:40 is wild that Luke said that, bc I caught that specific mon in a Beast Ball.
Also, last time I was this early to a vid, Shady had longer hair.
love the little detail that in battle the pokemons were in the poké ball they were paired with^^
Shady throwing as hard as possible today.
Don’t you DARE dunk on Oricorio, if you have two of them you can attack 4 times in one turn
Wish that we could see actual damage numbers when the pokemons get hit or the actual amount they heal when they used healing moves, same with the setup moves that boost specific attributes, like showing you, how much those stats were actually raised by, maybe only on the owner of the pokemon to not give info to the opponent.

Displaying these stats for everyone in the battle to see would be bad, since it would show your opponent exactly what the original stats of your pokemon are, and the information is unnecessary for the trainer since they already know their attacks now deal double or half damage.
I mean at that point, u'd best just play Pokemon Showdown
time to go wild for an idea: getting closer to the new year, go to a randomized wild area, use 20 randomized abilities for whatever pokemon you inevetiably catch, 3 masterballs allowed, and for the pokemon, you're only allowed to catch small boys/girls so if you see a Zekrom, it's not allowed as he's too big, and if a shaymin is on screen, he's allowed, I'll let you set the height and weight limit and just for fun, do keep or trade with your opponent, you or anyone else can add to this to make it seem like a chaotic challenge and more fleshed out
What a perfect way to end my Birthday then to watch a Shady video before bed.
10:57 crazy he was talking about Delibird like that
At 43:27 Lukey lost it and sounded like a Fortnite goon! 😂😂
I hope that they do this again, but THIS time, they use EVERY pokeball. Even the super obscure ones like Team Plasma Ball and the Atlantis Ball and the Park Ball. That would be cool
@ 12:08 Hey, don’t disrespect Poochyena like that. You know the saying “dogs are a man’s best friend.” I’m pretty sure hyenas are classified as dogs.
Shady threw so hard TWICE! 😂

“I missed you”
“I missed your coin”
The Perfect Pokeball for ANY Pokemon is the Luxury Ball. Because that makes them like you more.
Beast ball for the cobalion was a pretty sick call
It's one of the things Ive always wanted in Pokemon,to switch the ball one is in at will
Shady abused his desk alot in this video
New Rule you pull a Ditto, you can give it any Ability. A focus sashed, speed boost, Ditto could be useful in the right situation
I'm so sad because my Shaymin has been left behind yet again
Always a relief when staying up till midnight down here in Australia when I see a shady upload!
29:33 Shadys headset dent in his hair is hilarious
Bro used the smoke ball in the intro thinking we wouldn't notice

Today is just a challenge for who can miss the most moves😂
Luke running away like baby
I love the Ice Climbers-esque picture for Meloetta so much
Shady trying to setup in front on a +2 Gator is kinda insane
Just clicked on the video and I have to say the thumbnail is amazing, those pokeballs need to be official merchandise
Y'all actually picked the pokeballs really well in my opinion
with all the misses today. id love to see a shady vs frank. bright powder vs focus band
"we are missing today" yeah man, y'all run moves with no accuracy all the time, has to be for content 🤣
I love the waterfall colosseum OST being played in the second battle
This would have been a good battle to run Blunder Policy. 😅
That chuckle ball acts up my trypophobia
Need to do a video where you put random items on the starters and have your opponent choose for their selfs
Love the 'echo fighter' vibes from one of Shady's Pokemon preview images
Why does soundproof Oricorio really feels like it should have been a hidden ability.
1k views in under 10 minutes this guy is goated
Oricorio is way worse without Dancer IMO. Yeah half dude's team had dancing. :D
Hey shady my dads being dudes merch finally arrived the day before Christmas and i got to say its super high quality and the material feels super comfortable on my skin
1 minute upload gang
Feralogator with a white herb , contrary, and swords dance… is the best combo ever
We all missed Lukey
Actually expressly missing the 4 player oras you did - same kind of vibe as the Dads soul link and needing it
Dad, please stop hitting your desk. It’s scaring me. 🥺
I love your friend groups content, i recently found it, and it’s made my love for pokémon reignite
I love this idea for a then we fight, there are so many cool pokeballs that you never really get to see. 🤩
I feel personally attacked, that Shady would call my BOI furret "Bad" while hes sitting over there with DELIBIRD as a mascot. Doesnt mean im gonna stop watching, but i want you to know, Mr. Penguin, you have officially been added to the SDF Auxillary company's watch list for this slight. you have been warned
Technically speaking, Poochyena doesn't get Moxie. It gets Rattled that turns into Moxie when it evolves. Just had to say that after Mr. Delibird himself disrepected Poochyena
am i the only one who finds shady's fumbles both entertaining and triggering
Shady you're one of my favourite TH-camrs in the world so is Vinny, Rich, Kyile and Dylan!
Luke is does the same things over and shady can never beat him 😂
I caught my Iron Crown in a beast ball for the aesthetics; and it was an arduous task.
Aqua jet as your only stab move on feraligatr is criminal, I would drop a coverage move if you really want jet but with the booster speed you don't need it.
Always love when my boy Typhlosion shows up
Furret doesn’t run away, he walks
28:02 I could've sworn I saw a man with a mustache
I like this new rule about 3rd battle no matter what.
When it was like bo3 u just knew if there was third battle by looking at the video lenght.
Should have used Psychic Fangs against Typhlosion. Gotten it low. Took an Eruption at low power and weakness policy. If it didn't do a lot such that you survive one more and an Aqua Jet maybe Agility too.
Aint no way Shady thinks Indeedee is worse than Abomasnow. Not the Psychic Surge menace--
29:33 that is a DENT oh my lord hahahaah
Didn't even bother giving Ditto a recap lmao
cosmos not being beast ball is a crime
my bets on shady for this one, lets see who wins.
Totodile not being in a Lure Ball is a huge miss!
The Level Of throwing is Transcending the Mortal Plane.(ps the Comment is Being made as Shady is Explaining the video concept)
14:35 SLIGOO!!! :)
Reshiram will always be my first thought for a mon that goes in premier ball
Yo, Luke, is Sniff a Moomin reference? Because it totally fits.
People keep clowning on Oricorio, AKA the GOAT of Then We Fights
If you can find an artist to do so, you should definetly have someone make pokeball art like the thumbnail and yall guess off that
Who's gonna tell Shady that Aslan doesnt have a D in his name? Haha
Only true Pokémon fans people know the music playing in the last battle. God I miss that Pokémon game
Shadys mind was just so not in the first battle lol
Luke missed an opportunity with the dive ball 💯 should of been a lure ball like in the anime
The blatant disrespect to the stat difference in Meloettas forms is crazy
Not many mons can survive a Specs 150 BP Tera Fire STAB Eruption from a Typhlosion Hisui as a neutral hit even at +1
Should have taken out Ting Lu with a Relic song. Pirouette form Meloetta is very very fast. You out speed and have Stab Close Combat with actual good Physical attack
Hurt to see that 😭
It's my favourite Mythical and for once could have done some work
Whirlwind rocks is more corney then sleeping a whole team imo 😅
does shady know that cyclizar has regenerator? he gave the oricorio SOUNDPROOF SHADY NOOO
Love the idea!
