Well, here we go everyone: the most requested series I've ever had - a True Power Tournament! Make sure to drop a Like on the video if you're excited, and let me know in the comments what two trainers you want to see battle! Hope you guys have been enjoying the content lately and thanks as always for the support 😄
I love this video's idea, but wish you could actually battle someone else, each person with a "Best" team in a real battle instead of a scripted one. Still fun, but I think a real battle would be better
@@Usario321 It is a real battle my friend! Not scripted at all; I just commentate it afterwards. Me and another player battle our hardest using each trainers' teams, and I made sure to find someone right on par with my battling skill
This was bad ass man. I told Birdkeeper Toby, Hoops, and Mystic Umbreon about this tournament idea last year and none of them wanted to do it. Then I discovered you and felt like this was def your destiny to do lol. Cheers brother!
@@luisvelez1952 no man, he is one of the strongest in history, in the anime he is the only one who reached Leon in the first championship. The second time, he lost to Diantha because she played smart using a light shield and ice and magic Pokémon. And by the way, as we see in the battle between Ash and Leon at the end, not a single champion would have defeated Leon.
I was so incredibly hyped for this and this did not disappoint in the slightest. I find myself even more hyped now for other battles lol, thank you silph for the great content every time
Bruuuuuuh this legit felt like a real Pokemon tournament battle, your commentary was on point and it was thrilling and convincing to watch the characters battle, they felt and were treated like real people and I am hooked!
Yeah, luck is always gonna be a factor in Pokémon battles. Funny enough, this kind of hax makes it impossible to make those battles 100% scripted, so... regardless of how he manages to record these, there will always be some suspense even for him.
Y'know, Silph, watching this again, after the whole tournament is done, you can see how much you've improved your storytelling You're really one of a kind, man
This was awesome. For the future matches, I think that it would be great to have an announcer (Sylph, you have a perfect commentator voice, but I don't know if you have the epic, energetic announcer voice). And I think increased volume on the game (i.e., attacks and music) to make this more entertaining. And maybe a display revealing who's left on their teams. I can understand if the levels are set, but I'd love if you went with the supposed levels of these teams. This series is great. I feel it still has some room to be even MORE epic and I hope to see it grow! :)
The mistake was when milotic was in the field It used dragon tail instead of ice beam on charizard + it didn't use recover VS hydreigon But the battle was awesome Both have great teams
Silph please do more exhibition battles like this. The true power tournaments were incredible to watch and I know everyone wants to see more battles. Keep up the great content
Omg I didn't expect that the torunanemt would start already I thought it would take more time but I'm so happy it's here and I was soo hyped during the battle!! Thank you so much for the great work 😍
That was exciting! To be honest that match could've literally gone either way. Milotic going for the Dragon Tail was probably a mistake unless they were deliberately going for the switch-out but I think the K.O would've been preferable?
Wow, felt like a good anime battle, especially with Lance's Garchomp waking up at the last second to then win the battle. Lance and Cynthia are, for me the most badass Champions, all game included, i always thought that if they were to battle, that would be a pretty close match, and seems like it's the case.
To be fair, that Dragon Tail was a horrible choice in that turn, Ice Beam was the right move also i don't know why not use Recover with Milotic against Charizard... but i guess fan service is more powerful than logical choices. Nonetheless excelent video as always, very good section.👌🏿
I agree. I think the lack of using recovery was to make it make “fair” but it cost Cynthia the match. It was a horrible choice not to use it. Milotic was her ace for this match and she basically sacked it for no reason
@@Jigundus more than agree bro, also HP Ice is almost mandatory in Roserade since the team had good coverage against steel so HP Fire won't be necessary to use. So Garchomp could be death since turn 2 or so
Hmm I knew I would find someone crying foul in the comments for the choices made or the "hax" from the game like nailing sleep powder, crits, and misses. At least everyone is being respectful with it for now but can we not make this a trend where we complain about these types of details in their fun production? Misclicks and bad reads happen too even on a World Tournament stage lol.
I believe Cynthia was predicting a switch and decided to take some advantage, and that’s why she chose Dragon Tail. Toxic Spikes was pretty stupid, though, with a team full of flying types lol
@@RWAsur There is nothing wrong with talk about expectations about something, if you like to eat anything that is put in from of you without question, go ahead, but don't expect that everyone in the world act in that conformist way to watch video. The only one that is making drama because 2 people are exchange opinions in polite way, is you ultimately.
Absolutely amazing video and cant wait to follow up with more videos. However, I do have a minor suggestion, could the competitors get a minor introduction and the pokemon they have in the beginning before the fight? Will add more suspense to it.
I've got an actual opponent :D Our battling skills are quite on par, so it works out really well. He's being supported by my Patrons for the work he puts into these since they take some time for sure!
I really like this, but I also wouldn’t mind seeing a live recording of you and your friend doing this tournament. I feel like that would also be really fun to see.
Should be fun, still not sure how I feel about Blue using starters on his team when his match comes up considering that if he still had his starter he'd likely still be using it in Johto, Alola, and Masters, but what can ya do.
I don't think Cynthia would have wasted to set up toxic spikes knowing most of Lance's team is part flying. I dislike that Spiritomb wasn't on this team but it is what it is
Im glad you scaled the teams down to level 50. Poor Cynthia. Lucario is a misfit against the variety of Dragon and Fire types lance has. Even with the mega stone, that's an uphill battle. Also both champion's Garchomp's were popping off, my lord. GJ Silph Spectre and The Mystery Friend!!!
Cynthia: I'm the strongest champ! Lance: Hold my Full Restore! Also the irony is realy pretty great the thing that she uses to strike fears into others defeated her on the other side x3
Gameshark: Am I a joke to you? (I kinda have a theory that Lance rigged the match w/ Gameshark by having 1 Turn of Sleep instead of 2 or 3 Turns of Sleep when Sleep Powder landed)
ehh... they were pretty even, it was sheer luck that decided that fight on both sides (sleep powder isn't very accurate, but it connecting that first time was what gave Cynthia her initial advantage, however Lance only won because Garchomp woke up exactly when it did)
Very unexpected battle result, wow! It really reminds me of the Pimpnite video's, although I like the what more relaxed state ;) He gets me more hyped, but is waaay to energetic for my taste sometimes. I am curious to see all other battles! :O I lowkey wish Prof. Oak to win, just because he might have been the first

He saw my comment suggesting that Trace and Green be part of this!!!!! Thank you Silphspectre
Cynthia defeated by an opponent Garchomp.
Oh the irony...
There can only be one!
My mannnm Lanceee
Speaking of irony Lance is considered to be the worst champion in Pokémon team and Cynthia is the best Pokémon champion of all Pokémon
@@luisvelez1952 he was never considered the worse champion tho
@@luisvelez1952 no man, he is one of the strongest in history, in the anime he is the only one who reached Leon in the first championship.

I like how the battle came full circle, it started with Garchomp and Roserade and ended with them
That actually had me cheering. That was a crazy ending lol
Dude fricken same!!
The CLUTCHEST of Matches.!.
I was so incredibly hyped for this and this did not disappoint in the slightest. I find myself even more hyped now for other battles lol, thank you silph for the great content every time
I’d expect nothing less from two great legends of trainers I can only imagine how great the others will go.
If this was the anime I would think that the Garchomp wake up at the end was an arse pull.
he'd wake up with the power of friendship or something the ohko everything left somehow
Nah Garchomp was simply too proud and badass to let the true champion Lance down! Came in clutch.
If it was swapped it in before Charizard and woke up, he'd be at even more of an advantage
@@cygnusprime6728 Nah. It was the old and trusted Gameshark since Gen 1.
@@shadowtitanx3962 the irony of your game shark joke is that only a gamer from the 90's would even know what that is but Garchomp wasn't in gen 1!
Bruuuuuuh this legit felt like a real Pokemon tournament battle, your commentary was on point and it was thrilling and convincing to watch the characters battle, they felt and were treated like real people and I am hooked!
Most VGC battles are never this entertaining
Everyone uses the same Pokemon
Big brain playz with pokemon that most people don't use: I like it.
@@ksoundkaiju9256 omg you just hit the nail on the head on why VGC is so boring to watch and why THIS series is so enjoyable!!!!
I've noticed the tendency for the Lance battles to drag-on; whether or not that was an intentionally hidden pun, we'll never know
Damn, good one
cynthia outplayed him but got incredibly unlucky with the wakeup tbh
Yeah, luck is always gonna be a factor in Pokémon battles. Funny enough, this kind of hax makes it impossible to make those battles 100% scripted, so... regardless of how he manages to record these, there will always be some suspense even for him.
Lance missed a few attacks and her sleep powder hit
I'd call it even luck
I call Hax, judging by Lance's Gameshark.
imagine if the champion said this to you when you beat RBY
It was totally rigged. Kanto can't let a challenger beat their champion in an exhibition match.
Thank you for making this SilphSpectre! Excited to see me!
Y'know, Silph, watching this again, after the whole tournament is done, you can see how much you've improved your storytelling
You're really one of a kind, man
TH-cam: how many ads do you want on this 11 minute video?
SilphSpectre: Yes
I didn't get any ads cause I use adblock.
Dunno if they have one for mobile though
I didn’t get adds either
As a Premium User ads are unfortunately invisible for me, so could you please list them~
Now that's what i call an a epic battle!!!...
This was awesome. For the future matches, I think that it would be great to have an announcer (Sylph, you have a perfect commentator voice, but I don't know if you have the epic, energetic announcer voice).

The mistake was when milotic was in the field
It used dragon tail instead of ice beam on charizard
+ it didn't use recover VS hydreigon
But the battle was awesome
Both have great teams
Holy shit, I was on the edge of my seat!! Great video!
Yo this was a way better than I was expecting this is a very unique concept I’m hooked
Silph please do more exhibition battles like this. The true power tournaments were incredible to watch and I know everyone wants to see more battles. Keep up the great content
This was insane! So happy this is finally happening. Can't wait to see more battles!
One minute in and I am so loving this series. Make more, ive gotten so HYPED!
i have a feeling i m going to love this series awesome idea
Omg I didn't expect that the torunanemt would start already I thought it would take more time but I'm so happy it's here and I was soo hyped during the battle!! Thank you so much for the great work 😍

Didn't matter though, that Charizard was dead weight after that...
Awesome content SilphSpectre! Keep em coming!
So glad to see these teams in action! Can't wait for more to come!
Silph always delivers! Kudos for listening to us dude! Quality!
*gasp* this is the series I've been waiting for! This is going to be awesome!
What a way to kick off this series! I can't wait to see what the tournament brings us
Wow. Finally some refreshing Pokémon content other than the stale “can I beat Pokémon (fill in the blank) with (choose any Pokémon)” Nice work!
Oh my Lord that ending j actually wasn't expecting. When it was 3v3 left with Mega Charizard poisoned, I swore Cynthia had that in the bag 🤭
This was truly incredible. I can't wait for the rest of the series.
Very very cool! Always love seeing your uploads, and this didn't disappoint.
I enjoy watching champions battle each other the most, hopefully will see more champions vs champions in the future
Nice video I was actually hyped finding out it’s a link battle , looking forward to this series
What a close match!
Looking forward to the actual tournament!
Loving this quality content! ❤️
... I think I just found my new favorite content
Same. I've seen this guys videos in my recommended before, buy never watched, but I can't seem to pull myself away now.
The way Carchomp woke up and made a comeback, reminds me at a scene where Ash is fighting against a fighting gym leader in gen 4 with his Snorlax.
Just found this series this morning in the suggestion section of a mystic Umbreon video, this is brilliant
garchomp waking up was stupid lucky
Wow, felt like a good anime battle, especially with Lance's Garchomp waking up at the last second to then win the battle.
Lance and Cynthia are, for me the most badass Champions, all game included, i always thought that if they were to battle, that would be a pretty close match, and seems like it's the case.
Great series idea! Love it! Surprised Lance won. I thought Cynthia would win for sure
This was phenomenal! While not the outcome I was hoping for, it was a well-fought battle. Love the idea of a series of battles like this.
That was an incredible performance with tides turning several times throughout the battle.
You killed it with this match. Cant wait for the tourney.
This is a brilliant idea lmfao I can’t wait to see who is the strongest of them all!
Not even gonna question who is playing and whatnot. This is just entertaining. so keep it coming.
good lord that was CLOSE but i am sure it's one of many close calls as this series continues
What a battle to start off with!!!!
Amazing work, silph. So hyped for thw tournament
That was a lot of fun. Looking forward to the tournament.
I think you have something here brotha! Really liked it!💪🏼
I've been looking forward to this.

i really loved the play-by-play! well done!
I went in with low expectations, but that was so awesome! Incredible match 😍. And superb commentary
I wasn't expecting much of this tournament thingy but this was really great!
Okay Silph I hit the bell, I'm really looking forward to this series! Amazing ending!
Absolutely amazing video and cant wait to follow up with more videos. However, I do have a minor suggestion, could the competitors get a minor introduction and the pokemon they have in the beginning before the fight? Will add more suspense to it.
No Ice Punch on that Mega Lucario was a key factor there tbh
My question is: Whos actually playing with you or is it just you ?
@@yourgranny469 ? It's a good question.
I've got an actual opponent :D Our battling skills are quite on par, so it works out really well. He's being supported by my Patrons for the work he puts into these since they take some time for sure!
@@SilphSpectre thank you for that answer!-it was a really good match. Youre pretty awesome commentator as well!
It's Cynthia silly, can u read, lol
I love this! I can't wait to see who battles next in this tournament
HOLY MOLY!!! This is gonna be awesome!!!
That was hype, gotta love when a match is close. Oh please, tell me Red and Blue "coincidentally got the same seed" and are each other's Round 1.
I love this idea Silph great vid
This was an awesome battle! Great job on commentary! Made it more exciting
Garchomp living and waking up had me shouting haha.
I love the announcer style! I'm so excited for the tourney!
This is *so* good! I can't wait to see how Green compares to Red and Blue!
I really hope you continue this series with all the other 7 regions
It’s a crime that these two had to face off in the first round. Needed to see them both for multiple battles
I'm excited for more of these! Keep them coming
Ok that was good and unreal is right lmao good fight
Also one question why would cynthia have a milotic without recover
That last second sweep! What a comeback!
I've done the calcs, even without life orb or crit, the last outrage was a guaranteed KO, but that wake up was really unlucky
Omg this was so awesome to watch! Can't wait for the other battles!!!
I really like this, but I also wouldn’t mind seeing a live recording of you and your friend doing this tournament. I feel like that would also be really fun to see.
I cannot wait for future battles this was so awesome
These matches are soooo Unbelievably AMAZING!!!
4:44 quite the sequence of events there. Can't wait to see the tournament great work
That was very close! I like this tournament series. Keep it up!
Great battle. I did not expect it to go like that.
What a match. I will be honest, never thought you would let Cynthia lose, specially not in the first round. Wp gg ^^
Should be fun, still not sure how I feel about Blue using starters on his team when his match comes up considering that if he still had his starter he'd likely still be using it in Johto, Alola, and Masters, but what can ya do.
He is using his starter in Masters... Trailer: th-cam.com/video/HahbHIIRgDY/w-d-xo.html
@@RWAsur Eh, he's with Red, he could just be lending it out. I mean otherwise Red could only Mega Evolve one at a time.
@@AussieDragoon Theres no reason for Red to do that, in fact Blue would hate doing that to begin with, he's very proud character.
The two strongest champs in pokemon history square off. Here we go
The ending was so clutch lol
You devil, this was so fun! Loved it ❤️
i CANNOT wait for the next episode!! this is excellent. amazing.
Super excited to see how this tournament pans out!
Great touch with the clothing and designs of each trainer
Had me on the edge. Great series!
Roserades toxic spikes did a lot to charizard X!
Great match. I can't wait to see the rest of the turnament.
I'm confused, doesn't Cynthia have a spiritomb?
I don't think Cynthia would have wasted to set up toxic spikes knowing most of Lance's team is part flying. I dislike that Spiritomb wasn't on this team but it is what it is
Im glad you scaled the teams down to level 50.
Poor Cynthia. Lucario is a misfit against the variety of Dragon and Fire types lance has. Even with the mega stone, that's an uphill battle.
Also both champion's Garchomp's were popping off, my lord.
GJ Silph Spectre and The Mystery Friend!!!
Probably why she used mostly priority moves and one big blow.
Cynthia: I'm the strongest champ!
Lance: Hold my Full Restore!
Also the irony is realy pretty great the thing that she uses to strike fears into others
defeated her on the other side x3
Gameshark: Am I a joke to you? (I kinda have a theory that Lance rigged the match w/ Gameshark by having 1 Turn of Sleep instead of 2 or 3 Turns of Sleep when Sleep Powder landed)

@@madninja1993 Yeah no matter how skilled you are how great your Pokemon be, luck was and ALWAYS will be a factor in Pokemon Battles.
Very good ! Can't wait for Red's !
I like how the charecters are dressed up as the trainers
Very unexpected battle result, wow!
It really reminds me of the Pimpnite video's, although I like the what more relaxed state ;)
He gets me more hyped, but is waaay to energetic for my taste sometimes.
I am curious to see all other battles! :O
I lowkey wish Prof. Oak to win, just because he might have been the first
Episode title: Opening the Tourney! Champion vs Champion!
