TriangleMan Nahh man, I think I played well up until the end of the game. Regardless of if it was a roll or not, going out into Jolteon was the right play, every time.
Shady, did you ever concider that your opponent might not have 3 fighting type attacks and knock off when you could have mega pinsir and landorous? You should have throwed in jolteon first since it couldnt take out hydregon anyway.
***** Shady, I do admire you for putting yourself in the position of taking our disapointment in the comment section and responding to it. Its no easy feet. The bright side of it all is that you were better than aDrive this time around and that your team looks really strong. Realisticly you could win it all.
Hey Shady just wanted to say that your videos are why i started getting more into competitive battling and watching you battle is fun and a great way for me to learn and pick up different ways of thinking. Thank you Shady!
Shady, this just goes back to why I absolutely love you. You have been my favorite subscriber for I don't know how long. Yesterday at work (Dunkin Donuts), things finally started to slow down. Customers before we're being super difficult, and in all, it was just a very slow, annoying morning. I was starting to get more easily agitated at the little things customers do. To put it better, I was overall not being my usual happy self. Until, a person with a familiar gray shirt came in. I had to do a double take, but there in front of me, was a guy wearing, an IT'S A CRIT SHIRT! The guy looked confused, cause at this point I was kinda just staring at him. I finally said, "You like Shadypenguinn too!!?" He was like "Yeah man! He's awesome!" We went on for about 5 minutes just referencing all our favorite videos that you do, espicially SOUL LINK. I gave his coffee to him for free, cause finding another person out there, IN person, that likes my favorite TH-camr just as much as me, made my day. Just like you do every day Shady. You're awesome! Don't let anyone tell you different :) #FoundAShadyPerson
You choked so hard. All u had to do is bring in jolteon instead of darkelf(Shiftry) and gone for thunderbolt, even if he had drain punch he would have recover only 40hp. Then close combat from infernape O.k. everything left on his team......this really piss me of....had the match won and he throws hard....Still love you shady, but please...learn from this, we want to keep it shady!
ThePokerus He obviously thought Conkeldurr would carry Mach Punch so he wasn't choking. Think your stuff through before making Shady responsible for that. Best Greetings though =)
Mysterium FIFA Shady should've noticed though that Conkeldurr had already revealed two Fighting-type moves that weren't Mach Punch. I believe what everyone is saying is that he should have made the educated guess that it wouldn't carry 3 STAB moves, especially when 2 of Shady's most offensive threats are Flying-type.
Mysterium FIFA Going into jolteon first was the only correct play, jolteon did nothing anyway and would have won him the match if he didnt carry mach punch. Dan hadnt revealed mach punch yet so there was no reason why he shouldnt send out jolteon first.
Mysterium FIFA Conkeldurr doesn't mach punch when it could for a few times. Another reason is Conk running 3 fighting isn't ideal since he'll be walled. In fact I think he had ice punch for the last move.
The NaCl is real. Honestly, though, this was a great match. You played really well and, though there were misplays, people have to just get over it. Nobody can be expected to play perfectly, especially under pressure. It all comes down to figuring out what you did wrong, learning from it, and shaking it off. Regardless of how these battles go down, these videos are the highlight of my week. I'm cheering you on every step of the way! #LETSGOMANKEYS :D
Wow your matches with Dan are always so intense!!! And you were in control for nearly the whole game! In the end the whole thing was decided by two unfavorable rolls for you but that doesn't change the fact that you both played amazingly! Keep it Shady
Insanely close and interesting battle. It made fun to watch it. Both players gave their best and i hope we will see a battle with this quality next week too. GO MANKEYS
Shady played very well regardless, I watch both sides to see how they react, shady and Dan must play against each other a lot because they read each other perfectly, I hate to see the loss but just watching shady do so well purely on strategy, instinct, and experience is what makes him such a joy to watch
Just Let it go He had know way of knowing if Dan had Mach Punch, and if he switched in a Jolteon to die to a +1 Mach Punch then get killed by Conk's Drain Punch after CC didn't kill, He would have lost. Shady played the way he needed to and hindsight is 20/20.
David Browne But it's just stupid though because he had already seen power up punch, drain punch and knock off so he should've just assumed that it was a different coverage option like ice punch for Lando-T or Lando-T and Pinsir just destroy it. It was foolish of Shady to not think about this and I don't get why everyone just assumes that it has mach punch.
David Browne what let it go said. Going into infernape lost him the game either way, mach punch or no. Going into jolteon gave him a chance, and if it had mach punch, well the outcome is the same.
Damn... I am legit sad over this. Shady deserves to win once against aDrive. It is always sad when your favorite Poketuber looses. I really just want Dan to lose at this point.
***** He didn't have mach punch, I don't get why everyone assumes he ran mach punch when he was already running two fighting type moves and knock off, I mean then Lando-T and Mega Pinsir just destroy it.
About damn time! Been waiting for this to come up! Almost went to aDrive's channel to watch this but thank god you finally uploaded! LET'S GO MANKEYS #1 IN THE WORLD!
Shady! If only you thought about it some more.... why would he run 3 fighting type moves on Conk?! That would of been suicide on his part! So... so.. close!
I'm so mad that you choked this match at the end. You should have just T-Bolted with Jolteon and CC'd with Infernape to win the game. You should have done this, regardless of him having Mach Punch or not :(
Shady i was like screaming at the screen saying" HE HASNT EVEN USED MACH PUNCH" Too bad it couldnt go back into the past to tell you Wish that thought could have crossed your mind! Well played anyway :) good to have your one loss come early
***** You didnt deserve to lose that man, you out played Adrive3 to pieces. We got your back throughout the rest of the season. Playoffs here we come! #ShadyPeople
I was literally screaming for Jolteon to come in on conk I felt a close combat infernape would have finished all his remaining Pokemon still GG Nice to see all the NY Mankey supporters out here :)
Man that mach punch bluff was so well covered up but at the same time so obvious, great job shady, the pressure got the best of you, but get him next time.
It's tough to see an end like that especially since Shady outplayed Dan for almost the entirety of the match. Nevertheless I have respect and in my mind the Mankeys took the W!
***** I dunno. I could see Shady as Naruto because he loses most of his encounters with Dan, but eventually Shady will rock him. I could see it both ways though. Lol
the choke was sacking granbull to hydreigon instead of milotic, she didn't do anything for the team at that point, while intimidate was still very much appreciated
That Power-Up Punch was clutch, can't even hate. Even if it didn't matter, it's still awesome to see. Well played, I don't think the miss click mattered much. No big deal, I'm sure you'll make up for this loss next week. Good luck! :)
***** the power up punch wasnt needed, conk one shoted all of Shady's remaining pokemon without the boost except for infernape, but drain punch + mach punch still finished it, Shady just screwed it up at the end sending infernape before jolteon
Daniel Lopez the one little detail is that, dan didn´t carry mach punch for his conkul (ice punch,knock off,drain punch, power-up punch) so that boost may matter i don´t know my friend
I know he didn't I was just saying that if he had it instead of pwoer up punch it would be the same, but regardless power uop punch wasnt needed at all because Conkeldurr without the boost one shoted everything, I calculated that it didnt one shoted infernape but I didn't take into consideration close combat's defense drop, so power up punch was absolutely irrelevant
Such an incredible battle. The win was right there for you, Shady. It's such a shame that for the last few turns, the pressure made you choose all the wrong plays needed to end up losing. :/ But it's okay. The Mankeys WILL triumph over the Rampardos someday.
Damn. With this loss the Mankeys drop to 7th in the league, after being top of the table week 1. On the bright side, Shady still has good differential (+5) and can easily make a significant comeback.
Good game Shady! The correct play would have been to go with Mayhem before going into Lonely in case he didn't have mach punch as it was useless to you either way against the Hydreigon. It's all a learning experience though, and you played well :)
God damnit....aDrive truly exemplifies how far consistent luck can bring you in Pokemon. He is a great battler, but when he is in a pinch, Lord Arceus is usually there to help him out...
Honestly, he threw the game away. Instead of sacking Granbull he should've sacked Milotic. He still would have had the free switch into Infernape and still would've fired off a CC, knocking out Raikou. Dan still would've gone Conk, THEN sack Granbull. Intimidate on the Conk, DP KO, clean switch to Jolteon. Jolt TBolt, then get KO'd, and Infernape CC KO's Conk and Hydra. Nice 2-0 Shady's favor.
Saxton Wilson Or instead of going into Shiftry near the end he should have gone Jolteon and fired off a TBolt doing about 40%, Dan DPs, KO's Jolt and gets back about 17%. Conk would be in range from a CC and Hydra falls to it as well. 1-0 Shady's favor. Anyhow, Shady played really well at the start. I believe he messed up near the end and very well could have won with a 2-0 or 1-0 like I explained, but props to Shady for the start.
Guys lets just except the fact that Dan is a better battler then Shady. This is like the fourth time now that Dan has beaten him and Shady hasn't won once in a one v one wifi battle.
When you let Granbull go down when he still had a Conk. I mean, even if you didn't expect Power Up punch, saving Granbull to switch in on that for Intimidate would've been, imo, the best play. You did well, no hate, but I reeeeallly wanted to see you win this one.
Shady I love these types of battles and have watched all your GBA battles and realized that you never try to think like your opponent. Dan knows you have 2 mons that counter Conk being Landorus and Pinsir so of course he broach something to hit them with. Keep up the good work but try to think from your opponents point of view. Go Mankeys
Watching two people's perspectives is really crazy. You yell at the one of them saying that he doesn't have a certain attack. In this case, the Conk didn't have Mach Punch. I died a little inside when Shady failed to realize that he didn't have Mach Punch. GG Shady, better luck next time. :)
You did the EXACT same thing in your first match vs dan in the GBA. Azelf could have dealt the little damage needed for honchcrow to finish up, while in this case jolteon was the one to deal the damage to conkeldurr.
I'm just waiting for the playoffs. It's going to be Shady and aDrive in the semifinals, and Shady is going to finally beat his rival, then lose to pokeaim in the final match. It's literally going to be the end of the anime's Sinnoh League all over again. It's going to happen this way, calling it right now.
Going into Jolteon instead of Infernape would have won you the match Shady T-T Since Jolteon had less HP, which means he don't recover much with Drain Punch, and Thunderbolt would have done the amount you needed to OHKO him after that cheap damage, even if he had switch into Hydreigon, Stealth Rocks would have done 3 HP that is the damage you needed to win the game. But good game both of you and lets go #Mankeys ! And keep the magnificent work Shady, here since 1.5k, and I regret nothing, you're always improving so much ! ^-^
Mike Pt if only but the mach punch scare was enough to keep the jolteon out i think the real game killer was not knocking off the hydriegon the one chance he had cause knocking off a choice item or an assault vest completely changes the game but that game was so good there needs to be a rematch in the playoff #MANKEYS
I was so sure the Conkeldurr didn't have mach punch (and I just saw Dans prep video which confirmed it didn't have it) I was just screaming it as the battle was ending xD not gonna lie I was a bit mad how you played at the end I think regardless you had to bank on him not having the mach punch and T-bolted with Jolteon so that Infernape could clean up.
Daniel Lopez yeah he had to take the risk because even if he had the mach punch he would have lost so he needed to bank on him not having it which turned out he didn't have it so yeah
+Izzy Oak I agree. Also, Shady would've won if he had knocked off the assault vest with shiftry (instead of going for seed bomb), which would've allowed him to KO conk with Thunderbolt.
HE DOESNT HAVE MACH PUNCH! I was shouting that most of this game. When you first volt switched on him it was so obvious since he didnt mach punch despite the potential damage.
Two things, when you're ahead in the game you can't play so passively There were times where you'd predict something to happen but not trust your gut and that let Adrive back into the game. Second when you shouldn't have sacced granbull first because milotic couldn't recover on anything so it was unless. And even though granbull doesn't out speed anything you could still intimidate conk while letting it die to get a free switch.
I was so confident that you'll win when I saw the prep. Really disappoints me that you lost shady. The most crucial bad play was the infernape. You could've won, thats a total bummer.
I think what lost him the game was his Shiftry spread. He had no reason to run max HP on it. It's not going to live a hit anyways. That drain punch from conk wouldn't have brought him up to a range where he could lives ape's CC. If only you run max speed Shady...
He played pretty save imo, since aDrive hadn't revealed the IcePunch on his Conk switching jolteon in would have been quite a risk. The 2 times milotic and Conk lived in a slipper were bad luck and game deciding... Good battle though, nice to watch ;)
you could tell after that Conkeldurr lived on one HP, Shady was soooooooooo pissed off
It lived on 3 hp
Ayush Verma my grave mistake
Lol
Chase Dixon 252 Atk Infernape Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Conkeldurr: 93-109 (51.6 - 60.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Chase Dixon Shady literally wouldve needed max roll
SPOILERS: Shady gets so unlucky, he should have won this game, he pretty much lost to rolls even though he played better than dan
TriangleMan no he throw game away and could win it.... shady played great whole game and mess up at end.
TriangleMan he got out played and didnt prepare enough. the better player does what they can to mitigate the luck/hax
kremujin93 I think he did just mess up at the end, but I blame it on the morale being ruined by the bad luck. he could have won if he played it right
TriangleMan Nahh man, I think I played well up until the end of the game. Regardless of if it was a roll or not, going out into Jolteon was the right play, every time.
TriangleMan played great but choked with legoer
Shady, did you ever concider that your opponent might not have 3 fighting type attacks and knock off when you could have mega pinsir and landorous? You should have throwed in jolteon first since it couldnt take out hydregon anyway.
CortoMaltese86 I was screaming exactly that to the screen, why would you carry 3 fighting type moves
CortoMaltese86 You're 100% correct. I let the pressure get to me, AKA CHOKE. Mayhem was there to win me the match, and I said no. :/
***** shady who is your opponent for next week?
***** Shady, I do admire you for putting yourself in the position of taking our disapointment in the comment section and responding to it. Its no easy feet. The bright side of it all is that you were better than aDrive this time around and that your team looks really strong. Realisticly you could win it all.
***** on paper he had a stronger team and you were really unlucky

#FoundAShadyPerson
That was by far the best battle of the UCL so far. Maybe the best battle ever. gg to both coaches
You choked so hard. All u had to do is bring in jolteon instead of darkelf(Shiftry) and gone for thunderbolt, even if he had drain punch he would have recover only 40hp.

GOD I love how HYPE you are especially accompanied by the music.. MAN. Great video.
Been reloading for the last hour LETS GO MANKEYS!!!!
Watch the match on Dan's channel already loaded. No spoilers but it was a 1-0 on someone's favours
Hou je toetert
Are u dutch VVG CLAN?
VVG CLAN die moest je gwn niet zeggen
The Game Crew VVG CLAN Nope inderdaad niet...
Literally refreshing your uploads until this was posted lol. Let's gooooooo Shady!
watching these side by side was awesome! both players really knew almost exactly what the others were going to do. great predicts all around.
Insanely close and interesting battle. It made fun to watch it. Both players gave their best and i hope we will see a battle with this quality next week too. GO MANKEYS
One of the best and closetst battles ever I guess.
Shady played very well regardless, I watch both sides to see how they react, shady and Dan must play against each other a lot because they read each other perfectly, I hate to see the loss but just watching shady do so well purely on strategy, instinct, and experience is what makes him such a joy to watch
I facepalmed so hard when Shady didn't send out his Jolteon before infernape. He would've gotten enough damage for close combat to kill.
Just Let it go He had know way of knowing if Dan had Mach Punch, and if he switched in a Jolteon to die to a +1 Mach Punch then get killed by Conk's Drain Punch after CC didn't kill, He would have lost. Shady played the way he needed to and hindsight is 20/20.
David Browne But it's just stupid though because he had already seen power up punch, drain punch and knock off so he should've just assumed that it was a different coverage option like ice punch for Lando-T or Lando-T and Pinsir just destroy it. It was foolish of Shady to not think about this and I don't get why everyone just assumes that it has mach punch.
David Browne But Jolteon was useless anyway. He wouldn't have risked anything. Also what kind of Conk runs 3 fighting type moves?
David Browne what let it go said. Going into infernape lost him the game either way, mach punch or no. Going into jolteon gave him a chance, and if it had mach punch, well the outcome is the same.
Damn... I am legit sad over this. Shady deserves to win once against aDrive. It is always sad when your favorite Poketuber looses. I really just want Dan to lose at this point.
Matthew Mateo yea, screw Dan and his super luck ability
BZTTA Gaming Crew Is someone mad
BZTTA Gaming Crew he didnt even have luck shady just choked hard
clay plane Jack lol guys it was a joke I'm good :D
Matthew Mateo Dude, spoilers!!!!
You and adrive always have such great battles! :D Love it!
Nice match Pengu! No matter what, you've finally shown your great skills! Keep it up, i liked it a lot :)
That was an awesome game to watch, I loved watching your decision making Shady and can't wait to see where the New York Mankeys go in the future.
That "I give up, Ice Beam" killed the game...I was yelling "Never Give Up, Scald scald scald" the entire play >
This kids is why you ALWAYS run focus sash infernape
He didn't have Mach punch
Big Boss scarf ape is so much better. sash is situational, nullified by rocks and priority, outsped by scarfs. bad
***** He didn't have mach punch, I don't get why everyone assumes he ran mach punch when he was already running two fighting type moves and knock off, I mean then Lando-T and Mega Pinsir just destroy it.
Or life orb
Baedra a Or life orb
About damn time! Been waiting for this to come up! Almost went to aDrive's channel to watch this but thank god you finally uploaded! LET'S GO MANKEYS #1 IN THE WORLD!
Shady! If only you thought about it some more.... why would he run 3 fighting type moves on Conk?! That would of been suicide on his part! So... so.. close!
Got my Mankeys shirt on READY TO BEAT THE RAMPARDOS! Lets GO SHADY!!!
I'm so mad that you choked this match at the end. You should have just T-Bolted with Jolteon and CC'd with Infernape to win the game. You should have done this, regardless of him having Mach Punch or not
:(
Kevin Kirkkomäki Drain punch dude.
Boozamooz adrive would of not recovered enough to take a cc from infernape.
Kevin Kirkkomäki Yes, you are absolutely correct. It was a choke for sure!
Boozamooz jolteon was at half HP, thunderbold would had damaged more than the recovery from drain punch, Shady screwed it big time
Kevin Kirkkomäki yes, that was the play. even knock off before with the dark elf to get rid of AV and then specs t-bolt
That Conk lived on 3 HP! Crazy battle. Great job to both of you guys :)
Shady i was like screaming at the screen saying" HE HASNT EVEN USED MACH PUNCH"
Too bad it couldnt go back into the past to tell you
Wish that thought could have crossed your mind!
Well played anyway :) good to have your one loss come early
before watfching battle
oohh been waiting all week for this battle this is the most hyped match of the week
***** Great Game man...Loving these battle styles and especially the prep videos are really good!!..Keeping it shady!!!..
***** You didnt deserve to lose that man, you out played Adrive3 to pieces. We got your back throughout the rest of the season. Playoffs here we come! #ShadyPeople
Really close match and it had me on the edge of my seat! That was a great battle to watch imo
I was literally screaming for Jolteon to come in on conk I felt a close combat infernape would have finished all his remaining Pokemon still GG Nice to see all the NY Mankey supporters out here :)
Dan overprepared way too much for lando, but well played for the boths of yas!
That match was too Insane, I didn't know who i wanted to win. Easily the best match of the UCL So far.
Man that mach punch bluff was so well covered up but at the same time so obvious, great job shady, the pressure got the best of you, but get him next time.
Screw Dan, Love you aDrive but Shady deserved this, Ah, GG both of you but the salt is real haha.
Michael Dean awwww is someone upset
Lol clay
I'm salty too low key lol
Michael Dean as long as you respect him for what he has done, in both the GBA and here, you can have any other feelings you desire
Michael Dean honestly
It's tough to see an end like that especially since Shady outplayed Dan for almost the entirety of the match. Nevertheless I have respect and in my mind the Mankeys took the W!
shady and adrive are like naruto and sasuke 4eva
Shady is naruto?
Shady is sasuke cause of gba season 4
shady wants to join orochimaru to get stronger cuz hes sick of naruto geting stronger
***** AHh ok
***** I dunno. I could see Shady as Naruto because he loses most of his encounters with Dan, but eventually Shady will rock him. I could see it both ways though. Lol
Has anybody else seen Dan's prep video before this and was screeming at his pc that conk does not have Mach Punch?
the choke was sacking granbull to hydreigon instead of milotic, she didn't do anything for the team at that point, while intimidate was still very much appreciated
INSANE BATTLE! You did outstanding Shady.
what a great battle, good job to the New York Mankeys and a hefty congrats on their victory to the Saint Louis Rampardos
Congrats to both Shady and Dan for this near hour of entertainment! That freakin 3% rawr!!!
Living on 1: An Auto Biography of Milotic
You played so well shady, good luck on your next battles :D
You could not have played that game any better shady.
It all came to one roll that did not max out. That was still well played.
That Power-Up Punch was clutch, can't even hate. Even if it didn't matter, it's still awesome to see. Well played, I don't think the miss click mattered much. No big deal, I'm sure you'll make up for this loss next week. Good luck! :)
***** the power up punch wasnt needed, conk one shoted all of Shady's remaining pokemon without the boost except for infernape, but drain punch + mach punch still finished it, Shady just screwed it up at the end sending infernape before jolteon
Daniel Lopez the one little detail is that, dan didn´t carry mach punch for his conkul (ice punch,knock off,drain punch, power-up punch) so that boost may matter i don´t know my friend
Daniel Lopez He had no Mach Punch, he needed that Pup Punch.
I know he didn't I was just saying that if he had it instead of pwoer up punch it would be the same, but regardless power uop punch wasnt needed at all because Conkeldurr without the boost one shoted everything, I calculated that it didnt one shoted infernape but I didn't take into consideration close combat's defense drop, so power up punch was absolutely irrelevant
The CC drop is a good point you're right.
My bad.
Great battle! I love it when shady thinks he's won and can't hold his excitement then ends up losing 😂
DAMNIT! I was sooooo positive throughout the whole match, too bad. Gratz to him power-up punch did indeed come in clutch
Seriously. Thank you so much for saying Hydreigon correctly. It's German. Eins, zwei, drei. Appreciated so much!
Haxed to death by aDrive again.
-Missclick rocks
-Vaporeon living
-Milotic living and giving a free +1
-Critting jolteon
-Living with Conk
Such an incredible battle. The win was right there for you, Shady. It's such a shame that for the last few turns, the pressure made you choose all the wrong plays needed to end up losing. :/
But it's okay. The Mankeys WILL triumph over the Rampardos someday.
Damn. With this loss the Mankeys drop to 7th in the league, after being top of the table week 1. On the bright side, Shady still has good differential (+5) and can easily make a significant comeback.
Oh you shady: "That like button needs your touching especially in it's dark times". That deserves a like
CyberPron the Metagross! Such a close game :(
The opponent goes for Splash.
ShadyPenguinn- "I think we just lost..."
Good game Shady! The correct play would have been to go with Mayhem before going into Lonely in case he didn't have mach punch as it was useless to you either way against the Hydreigon. It's all a learning experience though, and you played well :)
Shady always predicts right at first but then second guesses himself and does something else
God damnit....aDrive truly exemplifies how far consistent luck can bring you in Pokemon. He is a great battler, but when he is in a pinch, Lord Arceus is usually there to help him out...
HE DIDINT HAVE MACH PUNCH AHHHHHHHH IM SCREAMING AT YOU THE WHOLE TIME
Really close game to both of you! That Power-Up Punch though XD
Dan bluffed the Mach punched so well, so unlucky but we all believe in you shady you can still win this!
Such a good game shady ! Awesome video !
When Vaporeon came in after the para on MegaGross, I was sure he'd Heal Bell, but nope, just scald
NOOOOOO!!!!!!! It's all good though. You got it next week. This was intense to watch!
Honestly, he threw the game away. Instead of sacking Granbull he should've sacked Milotic. He still would have had the free switch into Infernape and still would've fired off a CC, knocking out Raikou. Dan still would've gone Conk, THEN sack Granbull. Intimidate on the Conk, DP KO, clean switch to Jolteon. Jolt TBolt, then get KO'd, and Infernape CC KO's Conk and Hydra. Nice 2-0 Shady's favor.
Saxton Wilson Or instead of going into Shiftry near the end he should have gone Jolteon and fired off a TBolt doing about 40%, Dan DPs, KO's Jolt and gets back about 17%. Conk would be in range from a CC and Hydra falls to it as well. 1-0 Shady's favor. Anyhow, Shady played really well at the start. I believe he messed up near the end and very well could have won with a 2-0 or 1-0 like I explained, but props to Shady for the start.
Guys lets just except the fact that Dan is a better battler then Shady. This is like the fourth time now that Dan has beaten him and Shady hasn't won once in a one v one wifi battle.
Metagross never even missed a meteor mash!
I think you did well regardless of any misplays, Shady. Close match, you played great overall.
Everyone makes mistakes, better luck next week. c:
you choked so hard mr penguin. unbelievable
almost finally beat aDrive Shady. I thought this was going to be the time you won. SO CLOSE SHADY you nearly had him!
When you let Granbull go down when he still had a Conk. I mean, even if you didn't expect Power Up punch, saving Granbull to switch in on that for Intimidate would've been, imo, the best play.
You did well, no hate, but I reeeeallly wanted to see you win this one.
great game between you two as usual!
Really exciting battle to watch guys! Conk living on 3 sadly was clutch!
Shady I love these types of battles and have watched all your GBA battles and realized that you never try to think like your opponent. Dan knows you have 2 mons that counter Conk being Landorus and Pinsir so of course he broach something to hit them with. Keep up the good work but try to think from your opponents point of view.
Go Mankeys
I miss you in the ucl shady
Solid game! Good luck next week, hopefully it'll be a good match
Watching two people's perspectives is really crazy. You yell at the one of them saying that he doesn't have a certain attack. In this case, the Conk didn't have Mach Punch. I died a little inside when Shady failed to realize that he didn't have Mach Punch. GG Shady, better luck next time. :)
You did the EXACT same thing in your first match vs dan in the GBA. Azelf could have dealt the little damage needed for honchcrow to finish up, while in this case jolteon was the one to deal the damage to conkeldurr.
This is definitely a contender for match of the year
"He lives .............. Son of a biscuit he lived" ahhahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahahah!
I'm just waiting for the playoffs. It's going to be Shady and aDrive in the semifinals, and Shady is going to finally beat his rival, then lose to pokeaim in the final match. It's literally going to be the end of the anime's Sinnoh League all over again. It's going to happen this way, calling it right now.
Such a great game shady well done!
Going into Jolteon instead of Infernape would have won you the match Shady T-T Since Jolteon had less HP, which means he don't recover much with Drain Punch, and Thunderbolt would have done the amount you needed to OHKO him after that cheap damage, even if he had switch into Hydreigon, Stealth Rocks would have done 3 HP that is the damage you needed to win the game.
But good game both of you and lets go #Mankeys !
And keep the magnificent work Shady, here since 1.5k, and I regret nothing, you're always improving so much ! ^-^
Mike Pt Yeah, it was pretty tragic that he wasn't able to learn Conk's set and figure out it wasn't running Mach Punch

***** Aww that's awesome buddy, yeah I am pretty much in every single video ! Thank you so much, and have a good day too my friend ! ^-^
Marcus Bae Yeah, with that knowledge he could have won the match, but mind games is also a thing in this game. :b
Mike Pt if only but the mach punch scare was enough to keep the jolteon out i think the real game killer was not knocking off the hydriegon the one chance he had cause knocking off a choice item or an assault vest completely changes the game
but that game was so good there needs to be a rematch in the playoff
#MANKEYS
I was so sure the Conkeldurr didn't have mach punch (and I just saw Dans prep video which confirmed it didn't have it) I was just screaming it as the battle was ending xD not gonna lie I was a bit mad how you played at the end I think regardless you had to bank on him not having the mach punch and T-bolted with Jolteon so that Infernape could clean up.
Izzy Oak Even if he had it he had to go for jolteon since hydreigon outsped it anyways, he had to take the risk
Izzy Oak Hey, You're the Izzy in Amino right? If u r, u'll know who i am so nice to meet u again : )
Daniel Lopez yeah he had to take the risk because even if he had the mach punch he would have lost so he needed to bank on him not having it which turned out he didn't have it so yeah
Prithvi Arun Yeah that's me bro xD you name does look sorta familiar? I'm a bit bad with names but nice to meet ya too :]
+Izzy Oak I agree. Also, Shady would've won if he had knocked off the assault vest with shiftry (instead of going for seed bomb), which would've allowed him to KO conk with Thunderbolt.
Heart break after heart break... good game both of you! Until next time!! #letsgomankeys
This fight really was Top Class.
Awsome match shady I thought you did great I cant wait to see you vs nappy
HE DOESNT HAVE MACH PUNCH!
I was shouting that most of this game. When you first volt switched on him it was so obvious since he didnt mach punch despite the potential damage.
Two things, when you're ahead in the game you can't play so passively There were times where you'd predict something to happen but not trust your gut and that let Adrive back into the game. Second when you shouldn't have sacced granbull first because milotic couldn't recover on anything so it was unless. And even though granbull doesn't out speed anything you could still intimidate conk while letting it die to get a free switch.
Man the end of that was gut wrenching to watch :(
I was so confident that you'll win when I saw the prep. Really disappoints me that you lost shady. The most crucial bad play was the infernape. You could've won, thats a total bummer.
Damn that power up punch was clutch!
Rampardos=Mankeys kryptonite.
You:That like button loves when you touch it.
Me: Now I don't wanna.
I think what lost him the game was his Shiftry spread. He had no reason to run max HP on it. It's not going to live a hit anyways. That drain punch from conk wouldn't have brought him up to a range where he could lives ape's CC. If only you run max speed Shady...
Am I the only one that feels that there was no Mach Punch? Great Game Shady!
Watching both simultaneously
He played pretty save imo, since aDrive hadn't revealed the IcePunch on his Conk switching jolteon in would have been quite a risk.
The 2 times milotic and Conk lived in a slipper were bad luck and game deciding...
Good battle though, nice to watch ;)
