It's time - they've both ruled over the Indigo Plateau, but it's time to determine which is the stronger trainer once and for all. Hope you guys enjoy this one and are having fun with the series! Let's BREAK the algorithm today and beat 2000 Likes!
EDIT: Great battle! Very satisfying to see Trace lose, personally. It'll be fun to see how far Outraged Garchomp/Dragonite will be able to carry Lance. Id love to have a loser's bracket,too. Some people are salty about some match ups/battles/losses, and a loser's bracket would give the losers a second chance to shine, and give everyone else another chance to be salty. And it would be more Pokemon content from Siph, which is really what it's all about.
@8balln8 killingu65 oh yeah I'm loving the fights. I dont know much about competive, but they're really fun to watch. I mostly just want more content, and the opportunity to see some teams who got swept/did the sweeping to show off all their pokemon and potential.
Im surprised Jolteon took Shadow-ball instead of Hidden Power Ice. Especially against the Dragon whisperer. :P But it was another fantastic fight. Good job to you and your friend for making this happen :D
Trace: Well this ought to be easy Lance: Crap, not this kid aga- wait, this isn't Let's Go, THIS ISN'T LET'S GO Trace: I like my cha- Lances: *Huge evil grin*
I mean from a competitive standpoint it's "How?" But from a lore standpoint Trace did beat him to become champion, but that was just with Lance's pure Kanto team.
@@maxi8664 now that you mention it, you're right! To be fair, I don't think having Hurricane would have saved it, but it might've at least done more damage.
This series is amazing, the commentary is gold. But, I have to ask. When we finally discover the Champion, can we please see him or her face one final challenge. I think we all need to see the Champion take on *your* true power Silph.
Honestly I get that Trace is a bit of a forgettable Champion, but he's got a certain charm to him. He's just a determined kid that made it far, similar to Red and Blue before him, and this battle proves he's more than most give him credit for
I know I’ve commented similar thing on every other video but I don’t have the words to describe how fulfilling this series is for me I’ve been playing Pokémon since the 1st grade this has always been something I’ve desired to see and now it’s here thank you sylph from the bottom of this old mans heart 😄
Ayy thanks so much my friend! I really appreciate that; any sharing of the videos helps the series more than one might think! Hope your friends enjoy as well 😄🙌
Man this was hype!!! It was more evenly matched then I expected. Gets me more hyped for future battles too.😆💖 If the first rounds are like this, just imagine the battles in the second round.🤩🎉
Awesome Video! These True Power Vs battles are so exciting to watch! I don't like garchomp but I hate to say that thing is pretty powerful! Next match pls bring Agatha Vs Blaine. Seems very interesting.
Trace did well, he had good rng on his side with sleep powder and scald setting status, even if he didn't get that poison on, it wouldn't have mattered. Good game Silph thanks for another great fight!
Not gonna lie. I’m actually really excited for this whole series. It’s really entertaining and fun! Keep it up Silph! (And everyone involved!) Ps. Greetings from Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷💜
My money was definitely on Lance but like you said trace's team put up one heck of a fight. I also saw if the two people battling next Agatha vs Blaine. Ghost vs Fire meaning most of their Pokemon will have to rely either on their secondary typing or shearpower.
Hi silph hope u read it ,I really want to appreciate on your regularity Just never get disappointed by the likes or views cz u r really the entertainer and those who don't know about your work a missing quite much.Bye waiting for the next video
Just a note:mixed salamence is a very goodset but mixed-mence as it’s dubbed is usually a Mega-Salamence set because of aerialate making Double-Edge flying type and the mixed-Mega-Mence set is:Draco Meteor,Double-Edge,Fire Blast/Earthquake,and Roost/Refresh. Hope the info helped w/remakes of the true power series if that ever happens
Trace reminds me of characters from the Pokemon Adventures Manga, like Yellow etc. that just battle with their best buddies rather than worry about strength.
Props to Trace...but bruh went up against a dude with a team with 4 pseudo-legendaries on it. This match (like Erika vs Lt. Surge) was terribly one-sided.
Trace's True Power was easy to pinpoint I suppose? In Trace's Defense: He had to deal with three Pokémon he had never even seen before. And all three off them being Pseudo-Legis on top of that.
I don't know man, loreli (the only ice user) is out of the tournament and there is no fairy type user so Lance looking unstoppable right now (that's where my money is).
@@flameking2178 I guess you're right. I mean I'm just saying that I hope Blue wins cause I think he's a good character, but technically your'e right. There is pretty much no way to beat Lance right now unless you have a strong neutral attacker or an electric type for the many flying types on Lance's team. But you also don't need ice types to have an ice type move. Same goes with fairy type.
@@alexkevinwu You're right about not needing an ice type for ice type moves (though that does mean no STAB but still it's threatening). What I meant about fairy though wasn't just about the super effective attack but also fairy's immunity to dragon (a fairy user would destroy Lance). Also, even though there are still pokemon in other teams who can use ice type attacks, Loreli was the only trainer where *all* her Pokemon could use Ice type attacks.
Just like we saw in this match Lance has some ways to deal with one or two ice pokemon so you're best way of beating him is either using fairys to be immune to his strongest attacks or spam ice attacks with every pokemon every turn. Plus when you consider that Lance has 4 psudeo legendaries (his team is so broken) I really can't see him losing a single match in this tournament. Only one way to find out for sure though.
@@flameking2178 I think that there really is no hope to beating Lance. However, I think Lt. Surge can put up a good fight with his electric types being super-effective against not all but many Pokemon in Lance's lineup
None, technically! For every matchup 2 or 3 battles are conducted, best 2/3 is the winner, and the battle most representative of overall outcome (of the two wins) is chosen to be posted on the channel :D
Before I watch I'm guessing Trace about to get put in a body bag. Ehhh Lances trainer made it way closer than it should of been by not predicting any switches. Like Trace wasn't going to switch his grass type out against a fire type, dragon claw or something was what I was expecting.

Thank you so much for the consistent uploading. These true power videos are great and they're really exciting. (:

8balln8 killingu65 Ash isn’t in the main series games, though. We have Red instead.
Im surprised Jolteon took Shadow-ball instead of Hidden Power Ice.
Especially against the Dragon whisperer. :P
But it was another fantastic fight. Good job to you and your friend for making this happen :D
It’s a shame that the tournament uniform regulations prevented lance from wearing his cape...
What game is this played on?
Johnny Kilroy sun and moon or the ultra versions
Words can't express how hyped i get when these notifs pop up
Same!
Same I cut the PS4 off just to watch
Deadass
But numbers can 12/10!
Trace: Well this ought to be easy
Lance: Crap, not this kid aga- wait, this isn't Let's Go, THIS ISN'T LET'S GO
Trace: I like my cha-
Lances: *Huge evil grin*
Underrated comment 😂🤣
Lance realized he had Multiscale and Yache Berries, so Slowbro can't solo him again.
I can use my *COMPETITIVE* team!
Full Restore: Am I a joke to you?
If Trace wins, literally everyone is gonna be like “How?”
Spoilers!
THANK GOD!
I mean from a competitive standpoint it's "How?"
But from a lore standpoint Trace did beat him to become champion, but that was just with Lance's pure Kanto team.
Honestly i knew the outcome as soon as i saw the draw at least lance isn't stupid enough to only have 3 moves on his team
Scary part was that Trace was whippin Lance's ass in the first half of the fight
@@ksoundkaiju9256 not really trace had a good run but it was still tight
This is the best series on TH-cam...Thanks Spectre
"Mega Pidgeot, what a beast that thing is"
It was certainly... something.
Didn’t even do 50% from a stab hit 😂
But why does it not have hurricane?
@@maxi8664 I was wondering the same, it's the main reason to use Mega Pidgeot!
@@maxi8664 now that you mention it, you're right!
To be fair, I don't think having Hurricane would have saved it, but it might've at least done more damage.
We all miss it
I love that the thumbnail is just Lance and Trace waving hello to each other
It totally is 😂
8:12 Garchomp be like "DAMN YOU WOKE ME UP AGAIN"
This series is amazing, the commentary is gold. But, I have to ask. When we finally discover the Champion, can we please see him or her face one final challenge. I think we all need to see the Champion take on *your* true power Silph.
Looking at those teams; Trace didn’t really have a chance haha. Can’t wait for the next one
Honestly I get that Trace is a bit of a forgettable Champion, but he's got a certain charm to him. He's just a determined kid that made it far, similar to Red and Blue before him, and this battle proves he's more than most give him credit for
I know I’ve commented similar thing on every other video but I don’t have the words to describe how fulfilling this series is for me I’ve been playing Pokémon since the 1st grade this has always been something I’ve desired to see and now it’s here thank you sylph from the bottom of this old mans heart 😄
You’re really spoiling us with those consistent updates Silph 😁 just make sure you don’t suffer burn out and over do it
Awesome commentary mate keep this tournament coming
You are a really underrated youtuber. I am definitely going to tell my mates about you, these videos are really entertaining and enjoyable.
Ayy thanks so much my friend! I really appreciate that; any sharing of the videos helps the series more than one might think! Hope your friends enjoy as well 😄🙌
SilphSpectre your videos deserve to be more popular, they are really unique and better than most big youtuber’s videos.
(spoilers) Phew. Trace got me worried there for a second.
But alas, my favored contestant pulled through. Fat boi dragons for the win 🐉
Freaking Marowak the dragonslayer
Same!! Lance fans band together
For real man going into it I had no expectations for Trace at all but he almost pulled off the upset.
Lance's garchomp is his mvp lol
Amazing series, please bring it back once this tournament is complete, even in a different capacity your commentary is fantastic
There's about 6-8 other generations. I'm sure this series will go on for quiet some time
This series has been HYPED!!! It isn't about the W here, it's more so how it all went down. Really great fight on Trace's part!
Man, you're dishing out these videos almost daily now, you are on 🔥🔥🔥
I think we all know Trace cheated when he beat lance the first time
Lance was using a pure-Kanto team in Lets GO that Slowbro likely tore through, with his full power potential Lance stands a lot better of a chance.
The cheat he used was called plot armor
In the next round its going to be charizard X vs charizard Y (Blue vs Lance). This series is hype
I always look forward to these!!!
Man this was hype!!! It was more evenly matched then I expected. Gets me more hyped for future battles too.😆💖
If the first rounds are like this, just imagine the battles in the second round.🤩🎉
Ayy thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, looking ahead at some of the Quarterfinal matches lining up, even I'M getting excited 😂😂
That's what I'm exceptionally excited for
Bruh this is so good. I wasn't big on competitive Pokemon but now 😳👌🔥
I appreciate you don't spoil the previous match in the introduction but still manage to cover the events.
Trace looking at Lance’s team: *chuckles* I’m in danger
i have never clicked on vids so fast... this is so fun to watch
Was just thinking today how sad I'll be when this series is done. You should do a doubles tournament next, keep the hype alive.
Discount Blue goes down. Let's see the real Blue kick Lance's ass.
Absolutely great!
I'm so hyped for the next battles. And we can have several championships! This is going to be really cool.
That was incredible! Really enjoying the hyped battles and seeing the sudden twists in who has the advantage. Keep it coming!
Trace is a cool kid. This was really cool! Can't wait for the next one
mr1upz: This kid is the region champion! His team peaked ten steps out if his front door!
Awesome Video! These True Power Vs battles are so exciting to watch! I don't like garchomp but I hate to say that thing is pretty powerful! Next match pls bring Agatha Vs Blaine. Seems very interesting.
Trace did well, he had good rng on his side with sleep powder and scald setting status, even if he didn't get that poison on, it wouldn't have mattered. Good game Silph thanks for another great fight!
Wooo almost first! Love this series silph keep it up!!
Lance is not afraid to beat the snot of a child, that's why he's champion
These are so freaking good!! I can't wait to see how many other tournaments we get with this same set up. So awesome!
Brother. I must say my day changes when I see these videos come out.Thank you 🙏
I cannot express the magnitude of the love I have for your fucking channel. You rock homie
Not gonna lie. I’m actually really excited for this whole series. It’s really entertaining and fun! Keep it up Silph! (And everyone involved!)
Ps. Greetings from Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷💜
I swear to god this is the only guy on TH-cam that pronounces Hydreigon correctly.
I suppose my two years of German paid off! 😅
@@SilphSpectre Two years of highschool German. High five! XD
Another heart pounding battle! What a wonderful match up between these two rivals!
YOHHH... Great video once again. I just wish this could be a best of 3 challenge, so the video could be a little longer
That Garchomp put in work! I thought it was over for lance but that 'woke up' came in clutch 😀
This series is sooooo good! Great job Silph!
watching these again because of how good they are! bring back this series silph please😭
This is for sure a battle that shows the true power of two champions!
I love getting these notifications 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Dude this is a great series
This is the best series on TH-cam right now.
SPOILERS!
I guess this is how Lance becomes champion if a Let's Go Johto set of games is revealed down the road. (god I hope not-)
Always looking forward to these videos! Great job Silph
My money was definitely on Lance but like you said trace's team put up one heck of a fight.
I also saw if the two people battling next Agatha vs Blaine. Ghost vs Fire meaning most of their Pokemon will have to rely either on their secondary typing or shearpower.
Hi silph hope u read it ,I really want to
appreciate on your regularity
Just never get disappointed by the likes or views cz u r really the entertainer and those who don't know about your work a missing quite much.Bye waiting for the next video
Love these battles! You need to get a cohost to bounce off and feed your energy!
Love this series.
I mean... did we honestly think this was going to end any other way?
Just a note:mixed salamence is a very goodset but mixed-mence as it’s dubbed is usually a Mega-Salamence set because of aerialate making Double-Edge flying type and the mixed-Mega-Mence set is:Draco Meteor,Double-Edge,Fire Blast/Earthquake,and Roost/Refresh. Hope the info helped w/remakes of the true power series if that ever happens
Trace reminds me of characters from the Pokemon Adventures Manga, like Yellow etc. that just battle with their best buddies rather than worry about strength.
Great battle, enjoyed your commentary
Why do I get this video, which I just watched a few days ago, recommended again xD
can we take a moment to applaud the commentary
Well done everyone. Also for true power do you think you can include the Johto protagonists and Archer?
Lance Team just had too many pokemon that were capable of late-game sweeping, basically making the shown outcome the most propable
These daily uploads are what i need!!!!
It’s really not possible for silph to make a bad video is it lol. Great vid silph
A wild Gengar appeared and said “Algorithm”
Bird, horse and mushroom vs 5 dragons and a sea serpent.
I know who I'm betting on!!
I love these battles soooo much!!!!
This was amazing!!!...
Before watching: Trace is about to get mopped..
Props to Trace...but bruh went up against a dude with a team with 4 pseudo-legendaries on it. This match (like Erika vs Lt. Surge) was terribly one-sided.
Well that discount Blue got beaten but not easily.
Next is Blaine vs Agatha?
Looking forward to that Agatha vs Blaine match!
Episode title: Trip vs Lance! A Match for the Ages!
Honey you've got a whole storm comin'
I actually would have pooped myself if Trace somehow won lmao. Dragon master!
Lance is a Bird Keeper, not a Dragon Master.
I look forward to these so much
Are we in round 2 already?
Trace's True Power was easy to pinpoint I suppose?
In Trace's Defense: He had to deal with three Pokémon he had never even seen before. And all three off them being Pseudo-Legis on top of that.
Is anyone going to talk about how it is now Lance vs Blue?? That's going to be a brutal war.
Oh damn that battle would very epic
OH BOY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER! I'm so excited to see this, I hope he wins!!
He won!! :D
Please bring this series back
I still can't get over how happy i am that these aren't taking place in the Sword/Shield games, regardless of the reasons.
Ive always hated Trace, but this man uses a Jolteon... LETS GO TRACE!
Letting vileplume go down was a bad play
This fight really made me appreciate stealth rocks without a spinner or defoger
I love this series and your commenting
Waiting for Lance Vs iris in world finals!
Great series!
You say “actually” a lot
Is there a photo of the bracket somewhere?
The full bracket is linked in the description 😄
@@SilphSpectre OH!!! Okay thank you 😅
Lance my boy will reach finals with blue
Next up Agata vs Blaine im so hyped for it
I love this whole tournament. I hope that Blue wins. I think that Blue is actually a very cool character even if he's kinda a jerk.

@@SilphSpectre This is an interesting information! Nice to know.
trace needed to have another showing for this match to be close he only had gen 1 pokemon im honestly surprised it was that close

What game is it? Pokemon sword and shield?
What are they playing on? The graphics look better than normal.
Pokemon sun and moon with a "hack" that removes the black outlines.
