There's so many mind games with the 2T1L using the mons' typings, not to mention the insane concept of getting any ability that matches the type of each mon. Just watching the first few minutes tells you how jam-packed each round is; yet it's so cool to follow their line of reasoning each time, as they build their teams as well as building the hype for the battle that follows. These concepts continue to build in complexity between choosing the mons and their abilities which leads to very interesting thought processes in team building and the battle
I can't speak for everyone, but I love it when things line up in 2T1L where you can say "Normal, Normal, Normal." It's random chance that it's even possible to say that, so why not take the randomness even further? The reactions are also priceless. If some people think it's too much, you could expand on it by offering a hint. As for the rest of the video, I love the new concept where you narrow the abilities to a specific but broad pool of options, making it a matter of how much both of you know Pokémon. I hope to see a lot more like this. Well done and good battle; it's always the best when it comes down to the last moment, and I loved Dylan's reactions to your Abilities. *Snickers.* Pity that this format can't let you give Well-Baked Body to Venomoth again, though; closest substitute for it would be Ribombee.
Y'all keep impressing me. This is better than randomized abilities or any ability. This was like 1/3 skill, 1/3 puzzle and 1/3 luck. I thought for sure shady was gonna lose. Boy was i surprised. Keep it up!
The new idea they doing with the ability, that you can choose it when it fits a criteria, is really good. It's not making it too RNG and requires some strategy without giving them the usual suspects like guts or one of the ruin ones.
If Shady had gotten that Bounsweet in the last round, I think I would've cried for Shady. I mean, I would've laughed *hard* at his reaction, but I would've also felt really bad at how bad he threaded the needle.
Can I just say something, I never thought anyone else finds these pokemom theme background music... I used to jam out to these soundtracks constantly... This video reminded me of that again. Thank you very much
You should do this format, but instead of having to lie about one pokemon the person can pick whether or not they want to lie about any of them, to make trying to read the other person even harder
I wish someone with the knowledge could make a animated version of this it would be so funny your guys reactions to each other and some funny art work kinda like the anime would be hilarious
Really love this concept! Hope to see ability concept more in the future. It really adds nice touch with the reactions of trying to guess the Pokemon with the ability. 12:18 and 13:40
OOOOOOO!!! i love the idea with the abilities this episode!!! instead of just picking the strongest abilities outright,, which winds up with pretty much the same abilities being chosen every video,, it adds a slight twist while still being able to pick strong abilities :))) love it :D anddddddd all the added mind games from it being linked to the typing your choosing to lie or not lie about too!! genius :D
I don't think it's too cheeky to just go for Water Water Water/Normal Normal Normal if you had the chance. It's gunny seeing the dilemma happening in their eyes when choosing what to pick lmao😂
Two things: 1) Anyone else notice that they each got the Lycanroc and Ceruledge lines in the same round. 2) Shady did the 3 water type thing for that one round, but didn’t realize he could’ve also done it for baxcalibur, drizzile, and samurott.
From the title I thought they were only going to give the first letter of the types, which seemed weird haha But actually thinking about it, that could be a funny version. Only 7 types have a distinct starting letter, so between dual-types and lying it would be a lot of mind games.
Damn, that Baxcalibur, Drizzile and Hisuian Samurott round was the perfect occasion to pull a Water - Water - Water... But then it came baaaaaack and he did the thing, yaaaaay!
Of the guys doing these types of videos, Shady I think is the best at battles. His brain just works for it. Blows my mind he never won a league back in the day.
So basically the concept for choosing your starter (which apparently goes unexplained) is 1 lie 1 truth 1 dual-type, pretty awesome, wish more stuff was done with that.
Gotta love the chemistry Shady has with everyone he battles. Gotta be the Dad Charisma
is he really a dad lol wow

Actually such a dope concept, I hope you guys do more of these!
agreed
Same!
Keep these ability caveats coming, THEY'RE SO FUN
Yea! And they go to show just how much an ability can change the value of a Pokémon
Maybe limit it to 1 Huge Power per team?
Too much power 😅😂❤
I absolutely love the lasting legacy Big Milk has had on this channel lmao. Nowhere else would someone be STOKED to get a pelliper of all things
When did he get pelliper
@@jamesmaxfield1231 watch the video champ
Where would I find the original Big Milk
Shady triple thinking himself is his own worst enemy, but maaan does it make for good content! Love these videos, man.
I personally like when you do 3 of the same answer. Not cheap at all, clever.
Dylan should be cancelled for not using ceaseless edge on H.Samurott.
The stealth sass of hiding Mewtwo by lying about the Psychic typing being Dark when Shady hid a Mew *the same way* a few rounds earlier was gold
I love that they discuss the strats in game, that made it really engaging

Well baked body paired with quiver dance would be nuts!
@@rileyackison4495 venomoth sweep lol
22:55 The Great Tusk impression is on point
Dragalge gets adaptability so all dragons can get it. Wild
I can only imagine a new meme beeing created with the iconic "Who's that pokemon". but a clip of Shady saying "Horns up, Horns down!".
Honestly a small change up to this system would be to have the lie KEEP the typing. Ground type Pichu for example
Spoiler shield 🛡️
I thank you as always, brave citizen 🫡
Your spoiler shield is no match for my Swords of Revealing Fight ⚔️ ⚔️
Marry me
My hero
Thank you brave soldier🫡
Dylan has plot armour
Personally, I love seeing the three of the same option. It makes every guest think in very different ways and I love it
next video idea with dylan “our kids choose our starter”
Y'all keep impressing me.
This is better than randomized abilities or any ability.
This was like 1/3 skill, 1/3 puzzle and 1/3 luck.
I thought for sure shady was gonna lose.
Boy was i surprised.
Keep it up!
IMO the Normal-Normal-Normal or Water-Water-Water strats are hilarious.
PLEASE DO THIS ONE AGAIN! This is by far the coolest gimmick battle I've seen in a while!
11:32 he do be lookin at that team lmao
“sCREEEWWWww yyyOOOUUUUuuu stUPId BEEAAAST!” 🤣🤣🤣

Can I just say something, I never thought anyone else finds these pokemom theme background music... I used to jam out to these soundtracks constantly... This video reminded me of that again. Thank you very much
"i wanted to do normal, normal, normal this time but i can't" HOMIE YOU COULD HAVE BUG BUG BUG'D!
You should do this format, but instead of having to lie about one pokemon the person can pick whether or not they want to lie about any of them, to make trying to read the other person even harder
The moment death by glamour kicks in dylan gets three solid mons
I thought shady would go all water in the previous turn, but was glad he still ended up doing it lol
"Put fire on top of something good" Dylan says as if Fire isn't the top type of this generation
So funny. He complained he could have done triple normal, then misses the fact he could have done triple bug the very next turn.
It's almost like there's a reason Eternatus is part of the Anything Goes Tier on Smogon haha
I accidentally touched the screen, skipped to the end of the video, and got jumpscared by fish lens Dylan 😭😭
I wish someone with the knowledge could make a animated version of this it would be so funny your guys reactions to each other and some funny art work kinda like the anime would be hilarious
Shady ought to never step foot in a casino, because his decision making is as poor as he’ll be when he does
Really love this concept! Hope to see ability concept more in the future. It really adds nice touch with the reactions of trying to guess the Pokemon with the ability. 12:18 and 13:40
OOOOOOO!!! i love the idea with the abilities this episode!!! instead of just picking the strongest abilities outright,, which winds up with pretty much the same abilities being chosen every video,, it adds a slight twist while still being able to pick strong abilities :))) love it :D
anddddddd all the added mind games from it being linked to the typing your choosing to lie or not lie about too!! genius :D
By far the coolest iteration of “Then We Battle” videos so far, would love to see this format again’
The entire first half of the battle was just revenge for that first mind game pick.
I don't think it's too cheeky to just go for Water Water Water/Normal Normal Normal if you had the chance. It's gunny seeing the dilemma happening in their eyes when choosing what to pick lmao😂
The 2 truths one lie saga continues
I really love these "choose any ability, but with a twist" concepts
This was crazy! Counters on counters on counters
My dyslexia had me reading the title as "Choose your starter by their BUTT!" and now I'm disappointed
Oh my god Shady I literally was watching your stuff when you proposed. The fact that you have 3 kids now makes me feel old :)
Dylan not knowing Indeedee until Shady dropped RR trivia is one of the funniest things. Father being a dude taught him well
That face in the end 😂
The hi pitch dragon 😂😂
Two things:
1) Anyone else notice that they each got the Lycanroc and Ceruledge lines in the same round.
2) Shady did the 3 water type thing for that one round, but didn’t realize he could’ve also done it for baxcalibur, drizzile, and samurott.
He knew but he was against doing it att first then he became petty
Shady keeps proving time after time that he’s the king of overcoming the bad odds and still annihilating the competition .
ngl the music that was around the start near 2:00 SLAPS
This is an amazing concept
LMAO eternatus is just outta pocket, crazy carry lol
This video is brought to you by two halves of dads bein dudes
Honestly this needs to be made into a whole series 🙌🏼
This concept instead of random abilities was dope! Still definitely hoping you’ll throw in some double battle “and then we fight”s soon!
From the title I thought they were only going to give the first letter of the types, which seemed weird haha
But actually thinking about it, that could be a funny version. Only 7 types have a distinct starting letter, so between dual-types and lying it would be a lot of mind games.
Just gotta say I love these and hope they never stop
Okay but this is a really cool format and I'd love to see more of it
I have no clue what strats you guys were saying but I was HYPED
Dude that match was crazy! The tables were turned beautifully what a comeback.
GG WP to the boys
This was a really fun idea! Keep this in the rotation
lmao i accidentally read the title as "choose your starter by their type of butt" 🤣🤣🤣
I love these ability choice restrictions. So much creativity
Damn, that Baxcalibur, Drizzile and Hisuian Samurott round was the perfect occasion to pull a Water - Water - Water...
But then it came baaaaaack and he did the thing, yaaaaay!
missed opportunity to name slaking "MonkeyDGarp"
Of the guys doing these types of videos, Shady I think is the best at battles. His brain just works for it. Blows my mind he never won a league back in the day.
Oh I liked this variant. The game knowledge and fake outs were a great way to keep attention.
bruh i laughed my ass out when dylan zoomed in and did the shady face 😭😭
Oooo I love this concept too! It's nice to see you guys get to play around with pokemon like this :)
Idea if you want: Same concept with the typings but instead of the lie your opponent shows you one of your three starters
"stupid dragons" 😂
with the pre-Greedent (idfk how to spell the name sorry), Scatterbug, and Larvesta i wouldve been a smartass and said "Bug, Bug and Bug" 😂😂
11:33 that photo makes my day every time I see it. 😂
Chose your starter only knowing their type but it’s a Shady Penguin video
Shady:gets wugtrio
Dylan:Enjoy your wAteR vEiL or TorReNT
Azumarill:
I was screaming inside with Eternatus surviving on 1 hp and Dylan just getting close to the camera took me out😂
You guys are killing it with creativity in these videos! Keep up the great work!
Shady really built Rad Red Big Milk CARRY for this video. You love to see it
Wow. Really intense battle! 11/10!
That was a rollercoaster
At 3:15 Shady’s at 538k subs. How long ago was this recorded lmao😂
These are honestly my favorite Pokémon video right now!
I love this idea! Hopefully you do more of this!
great to see the rad red big milk amd conklrdurr coming back lol
I was actively drinking milk the moment Big Milk came out lol
Another GREAT ability twist
bug bug bug would have been hilarious
The mind games 😂
@unitedplaysYT with the UGA championship mug made my night.
Plz keep these type of vids coming. This concept is next lvl strategy
Nothing says classic Shadypenguinn like good ole Dad lying to his Son
Always love the Dads being Dudes
I feel like Shady could be sold sand in the Gobi.
DAMNN Did not think shady would win this, ggs.
Really nice concept and fight! One other idea could be that you can give the Pokémon any ability one of the current three starter set has.
So basically the concept for choosing your starter (which apparently goes unexplained) is 1 lie 1 truth 1 dual-type, pretty awesome, wish more stuff was done with that.
Oh yo, that twist with ability choice is amazing.
