We randomized Pokemon our starters but we won't be able to choose them! Instead, our we'll be given the primary typings of THREE Legendary starters, but one of those types will be a lie. We'll try to find the lie and give a Pokemon to our opponent in the same breath, without knowing what we're giving them! After six rounds of nerfed Legendary guessing, we'll build the best teams we can and have a best of three set of Pokemon battles.

Bro you finally had some 'good' luck 😏😏
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.
It doesn't matter a lot but I just want to say the example you gave for any ability token on a raquaza and giving it dragon maw when it can't use STAB is great lol
dude there's no dragons showing up today
11:50 the dragons edit was amazing
I came here for this comment.
Dude Dude 😭🤣
DUDE THERES NO DRAGONS SHOWING UP TODAY 🤣
dud dude
Yeah honestly more edits like that would spice up these videos and make the audience laugh more 😂
Dylan: "Dude, Uxie is the worst."
ShadyP: "Yeah, but at least he's not Regidrago."
And Regidrago took that personally
Wouldn't Uxie be ideal because you weren't using offensive stab on it anyway?
i mean regidrago went crazy tho
"And I took that personally"
33:17 "critical hit! Lmao" is crazy 😂😂
Was wondering if anyone else caught that. 😂
my soul left my body
Literally just went to the comments once I saw that to say the same thing. Just to see this comment immediately.
17:30 editor is great for the very quick "yes he changed it" to replace the ability when Dylan said strong jaw 😂 so subtle but funny
It’s a simple equation. The penguin uploads and I click
🐧(🎦⏫ + 🛜) = 🙋🏼🖱️
Same, unless it's magic lol
@@davidcollins1so true yes
same
Big facts
"Critical Hit! lmao" such a subtly sneaky joke. We caught it editor, and it's hilarious. Excellent work!
I love how in the intro they used Dragon's Maw Rayquaza as an example of a broken custom ability but the whole point of the video is that they can't use STAB.
Editor doing Shady dirty "dude there's no dragon today" *supercut of all the dragons* 😂😂😂
Although to be fair to Shady, he wad technically right.
According to the rules of this video no dragon types had shown up at all up to that point.
Because they're only going by primary type, not secondary/both types. Both forms of Dialga are primary steel, therefore as far as the video is concerned "not a dragon", Gouging Fire is primary fire and therefore "not a dragon", both forms of Palkia are primary water and therefore "not a dragon", and Miraidon is primary electric and therefore "not a dragon".
So the supercut didn't really do anything other than prove Shady's point that none of the 9 out of 19 primary dragon type pokemon had shown up. So if anything it makes the editor seem a bit sillier since context matters here.
to be fair these pokemons are not primary dragon type
"We're running out of year"
I felt that... Pent up work
My then we fight idea: You choose your opponent pokemon blindly, but they get Buff, by its Smogon Ranking (Fully evolved)
Uber: Two Random Debuff
OU: One Random Debuff
UU: Nothing Changes
RU: Gets +30 BST
NU: Can choose Ability from Pokemon of the Same Type
PU: Get Illegal Move
ZU: Get any Ability, Illegal Move and +50 BST.
Suggestion: "We reassigned each Pokemon's stats." Basically you must rearrange each pokemons stat block by swapping the numbers around for each stat. EG: 90 attack might becomes 90 defense and 110 in speed is now the attack etc. If you land something like Mew nothing changes but otherwise you have to reassign all the stat numbers in the stat block of each pokemon in order to change how each pokemon can be used. If two stats are the same you can swap them with each other so they don't change but you also have to swap the other stats too. Glass cannons can become walls, slow mons can become speedsters, special attackers can become physical. Who knows?
thats actually a pretty nice idea!, congrats coming up with it!
Double stats of mons with all the same stat. Would be hilarious
Oh god, blissey about to be goated!
This would be insane /pos
perhaps shuffled at random?
Genuinely I think doing three battles regardless of the outcome is a good idea because it stops you from being able to tell who wins by the video length!
I love the blink-and-you-miss-it edits here.
Other than for the content, one of my favorite reasons to watch shady is that you can pause the screen at any moment and he's making a meme-able face
I absolutely LOVE what shady’s editor did after he said “dude, there’s no dragons showing up today.”
Feel like all Pokémon editors need a pay raise, they have me laughing from all their edits.
Shady GOT TO BE the unluckiest Pokemon TH-camr out there.
That seat's taken by Numbnexus big boss
Jaiden’s pretty up there too
Well, he got good stuff, and messed it up, like he had an Azelf and Uxie and gave the offensive Mon support moves and support mon an offensive set.
You guys have that friendship that makes me genuinely wish I was friends with you, the banter and the laughing and everything I would fit in so well sometimes I find myself laughing and just can’t stop, like Dylan laughing at the uxie right before round 2, it’s that kind of nervous laughing that just can’t stop. You guys are the best
Dylan is the only person I know who cheers when he loses. He really does love to see his friends succeed against the odds.
I see your work editor 😂 at 33:16 the text says “a critical hit! Lmao” that’s so good!
0:19 Shady has now found the one time that the adaptability is the worst ability to have.
Nope, there are still worse - having Adaptability without STAB is like having, Idk, Honey Gather or whatever it's called, which is still better than having Truant or Slowstart.
@@tolotos95 true, i guess there are worse abilities
10:56 not the dads forgetting Shaymin exists 😂
9:34 “we gave it simple”
Meanwhile the Enamorus with speed boost: 🌚
Shady: 'How could you give this bulky ice horse contrary?'
Luke, like a million videos ago: 'But what if he was tera fighting and had a guy riding him?'
"We're running out of year" might be my favorite quote ngl
Didn't know Penguins had their eyebrows threaded? Lookin good pops!
How has no one mentioned them getting genies on the same round, both getting versions of Entei, and Shady getting Uxie and Azelf. Insane amount of coincidences
Next, same idea, but if they guess the wrong lie, you are blocked from that type instead.
So you can declare Mewtwo Dark and lose Nasty Plot but keep STAB, so long as you aren't caught.
I was really hoping that Shady would terastallize Ogerpon, it would've been fun to watch the game have a meltdown trying to comprehend tera water Teal Mask.
33:17 did the game just say lmao??? even it knew shady was getting bullied
Likely a mod they implemented
@@luisquinonez5587definitely the editor I’d say haha
Hearing Shady go from saying we're trying to hit 100k to 750k subs makes me so happy! ❤
"I'm literally, I'm unfriending you on MySpace. I'm taking you off my top 8." 🤣
A crazy concept you guys could do is kinda like this where to tell the types but your opponent gets to change one of those types of chosen pokemon.
Levitate and strong jaw were on the wrong mons in their sections
Yeah man wrong edition but it's ok
Editor notes for like half a sec that he changed it afterwards
Encore actually ends the moment you run out of PP! thats why Detect is better than protect in VGC, less PP ;) and also imprison+protect i guess
So you don't go to struggle?
You do but doing some damage very turn can be better than no damage every 2nd in some situations
Idea: Your friend blindly chooses your Pokemon for you and you must take 2 attacks from each Pokémon left in the stage they are. Random ability.
Ex. starter left Fuecoco, starter middle Quaxly, starter right Sprigatito.
Your friend chooses: Left! (Fuecoco in that case) for you (blindly, they do not see your screen). You will then be able to take the Fuecoco and can evolve it to Skeledirge, but you must take 2 moves from Quaxly and 2 moves from Sprigatito. NOT moves from their evolution line. You won’t be able to take Aqua Step nor Flower Trick since they do not learn it before they evolve. Good luck! 😊
I was LAUGHING so much with the dragons edit omg! Love the videos you create and looked up to you guys for a very long time! Love the people you collab with and hope you keep creating more! 😄
19:41 wait am I losing my mind or did I not see how Shady ended up with a Darkrai 💀
That's the mon that the regular Dialga was covering at 18:09
Literally the last round brother
@@Sancnea Ah okay I see now after a closer dbl take 🫡
@ganthunie It's hidden behind the dialga, dylan gave him the rightmost pokemon
PERFECT TIMING TO GO WITH MY LUNCH 🔥
PERFECT TIMING TO GO WITH MY DINNER 🔥
@@leonardolambertini9889Agreed
I'd say a good addition to this would be: if you name a type, that's the STAB it loses (so calling a more general type to catch the opponent off-guard you could leave them with their best STAB move) and if someone is given the fake typing they can grab any move of that type (an incentive to cover good mon instead of bringing up the bottom end)
"Give you the lie" is an old/ colloquial way of saying called you out, so this is making me laugh every time you guys give each other the lie.
Big props to the editor. Those edits were funny af.
And maybe next year you'll get better luck Shady
Big win, big man. Epic ending. You even honored grians save by winning the whole thing! Amazing series.
How it started: pick your starter
Current rules: all legends, pick blindly given one type, one is a lie, if you pick a lie you can put any ability on your pokemon, otherwise you pick any ability from that type, and you can’t use stab moves
Yes I was just thinking about it too. When I first Started watching these poketubers I was so excited with just seeing randomised starters and then battle it was so new. Now I need these overcomplicated concepts to feel entertained.
Just for nostalgia I think they should do one where they just choose randomised starters for themselves
at this point im just here for the battles rather than the concept since the battles are still fun at least
Give the thumbnail artist a raise
That edit of Shady saying there was no dragons was crazy 😂😂
It’s nice to finally hear what STAB means because I’ve always been watching and just accepting that I didn’t know what it was. 😂
video idea: Golden Median
on every starter screen you may choose any of the three, but it's stats get changed to be the middle of all the pokemons stats
so if there was 130, 95 and 75 Attack Base on the screen the chosen Pokemon would have 95 Attack
do this for all 6 Stats on all starter screens and maybe include the same-type Ability rule if you like for more strategic planning
Alternate Rule: every round before looking at the starters you declare one Stat to take the highest of and your opponent declares one Stat to take the lowest, making each call only once
The Moltres in the thumbnail is so hilarious 😂
The edits did everything perfectly I was waiting for a minute 😂 you have one shadyyyy
Nah but can we appreciate Dylan's PSYCHIC ABILITY TO PICK OUT *UXIE* OF ALL MONS? XD Boi called it all the way from Georgia- what?
I love the edit of "it's a critical hit! Lmao" when the Drago crit the gouging fire and the end of game 2 😂😂
I love it when Dylan just calls it without knowing it. He's done that multiple times in multiple videos!
Quick video idea:
Akin to the "God" mon video, but instead 1st round has to be a legendary; and the subsequent rounds each Pokémon has to swap one of it's non-HP stats with the Godmon. Does the Godmon become trash to power up the team? How many mons become mix attackers? Does the Godmon's blessing allows another to ascend to Godhood itself?
I just got my gaming recap from TH-cam, and you were my 3rd most watched creator this year!
the "critical hit lmao" during game 2 was a hilarious edit 🤣
40k more subs to reach that goal!!!! You got this Shady!!
Also that thumbnail is awesome 👏🏽
1:09 Sounds like a subathon could help that goal
This tradition that’s starting with Dylan is absolutely hilarious 😂
I cant even lie Shady, I looked down, and I wasn’t subscribed…
I fixed it, had a laugh. I am in fact the problem. Here’s a like!
I have never seen Shady throw so hard in my life. And that's saying something.
11:00 *Celebi and Shaynin shake their heads in shame*
33:16 - A Critical Hit! lmao
Dylan not comprehending pokemon is never not funny to me. It's 100% turbo hyperbole that swings wildly, which is entertaining. Good stuff fellas
Did someone edit in a "lmao" after "A critical hit!" at 33:16? Cuz that's funny as heck, editor, keep up the great work (:
The editing was on point here, so good lol
the "yes he changed it" edit on regidrago was just chefs kiss
Thumbnails are pretty as hell. Always love seeing em on your vids!❤
Here's an idea for a vid. You choose your Pokemon. Build your teams. And THEN you change their types. You don't get new types and then try to match. You make diverse movepools and hope you get good types.
Shady's Gouging Fire facing off against Dylan's Entei is such father-son vibes.
It would be fun if you guys did an unconventional sets then we fight, like physical flutter mane, special kingambit. With whatever extra rule to spice it up
Thank you for explaining STAB to me. The doctor told me that I had been stabbed yesterday, so I guess they must have been steel type or smth
Idea for a game to play with four. Pokemon monopoly. Each space is a pokemon instead of a property. When each player has team of six you battle. Ofc the higher priced places are better pokemon
Shady that MySpace reference came with a Walker and spectacles why you gotta make me feel so old?!
Okay but the thumbnail art though 😍❤️
14:42 is spikes on sandy shocks cheating cause it’s ground type?
If I'm not mistaken, hazards don't get STAB because it doesn't have a power value? Same reason D-Dance on Gouging fire is ok because it doesn't get an "attack bonus" from it.
Yes yes it is cheating
Regidrago also has dragon dance, so not cheating
I wanna argue that Uxie is great without stab. It's often built to pivot or tank and use utility moves like stealth rocks, yawn, knock off, thunder-wave anyway. Losing out on the stab psychic damage makes it more passive, sure, but Uxie also becomes quite the hefty tank if it doesnt have to take stab moves from anything :) Great scoop imo!
this has to be one of the funniest videos. almost as golden as the venomoth sweep. but instead the uxie show
33:16 "A critical hit! lmao" Comedy gold
Here's an idea to put a twist on this vid:
You choose each other's starters but only get moves from the STAB moves of the other 2 starters movelist
E. g. Kyogre with fire/water moves from Volcanion & dragon/ghost moves from Dragapult
Could be fun or awful😅
One of the funniest vids for sure, the content is strong with this one.
Another video, and another +$5 on the Thumbnail guy’s salary Shady!!! Its SO GOOD
Suggestion. Other person picks your starter randomly but you pick 3 of the stats from each of the other mons to be the stats of the selected starter
32:44 is that an IRL animal crossing sfx? dayummmm
Can we just talk about the fact that none of the visuals during the Pokemons' descriptions match the sets they're actually supposed to have? I feel like it always happens, whoever edits these videos need some rest because it's like... Consistently wrong.
dylan: i dont want to give you contrary
also dylan: gives shady enamorus the strongest contrary mon in existance 😂
11:46
To be fair to Shady, he was technically right.
According to the rules of this video no dragon types had shown up at all up to that point.
Because they're only going by primary type, not secondary/both types. Both forms of Dialga are primary steel, therefore as far as the video is concerned "not a dragon", Gouging Fire is primary fire and therefore "not a dragon", both forms of Palkia are primary water and therefore "not a dragon", and Miraidon is primary electric and therefore "not a dragon".

You had me until the comment on the editor being silly
@rileyackison4495
I don't really mean it in a bad way, lol.
Just in a light-hearted way, lmao.
@@diamondseraph9369 fair
Dylan reading the randomizer code with that Uxie call he's playing 5d chess while Shady's playing Pokemon.
That zacian thumbnail is adorable
I was also in the Uxie sucks camp until recently. PlayMore had a really great run in a recent draft league and they used an Uxie to really great effect latter in the season. Really turned my opinion around on the mon.
Both of them getting origins and genies is just unbelievable
Dillon not going Strong Jaw (Tyrantrum) on Regidraco with that move set is absolutely CRIMINAL
Lol nevermind. The editor messed up
The best abilities for this, in my opinion, would be refrigerate, pixilate, and/or galvanize. Since these could be used to technically not have a stab move and still get stab
The miss labeling got me laughing so hard and the calling of uxie and drago
Shady for Pokemon President. Make Uxie Great Again lol
Shady got so tilted he wanted another fight lol
The true legend is Shady 😮 thanks for the content and good times🔥
Dude tha dragon editing is so funny i am still laughing 😂😂😂
Why is this taken so long to do 🤣🤣🤣this is one of the most simple things you could have done but you came up with 101 other things
