Choose Your Starter But Shiny Pokemon MATTER!

We randomized Pokemon our starters but we won't be able to choose them! Instead, our opponent will blindly choose our starter for us, BUT whatever Pokemon they choose for us, if it's shiny, we'll be able to double one of their stats OR give it any ability we want. After six rounds of starters, we'll go build the best teams we can, and have a best of three set of Pokemon battles.

Shady doing a collab with the beardless guy from dads being dudes is peak YouTube.

This is hands down the best “Then We Fight” from the group from a competitive standpoint. This is way more enjoyable than sweeps 😉

These battles were crazy. I definitely prefer these movie styled battles just for the mental gymnastics you guys get forced into.

[alisterios]

Armarouge: just exists
Shady: Oh, ceruledge

[gallagher]

These are the types of videos I missed man. This gave me major Road to ranked vibes with the mental games and prediction fun. I prefer this WAYYYY more than when you guys do super busted teams of legendaries that are over in less time than picking the teams.

I think the Media Offline is a perfect representation of Shady's mental state after some of these battles.

Tiddlywinks - that said, this video for as long as it was, might have been my favorite you guys have done. Just the sheer plays you two went through, utilizing all your options. I get that normally you two do stuff "for the content", but this entire video felt like a high intensity match between two pros. Absolutely incredible props to the both of you

"And enjoy this small Pokemon movie"

Wait what do you mean-OH MY GOD IT'S AN HOUR LONG?!

[Srenitree]

This has to be one of the best then we fight video ever, I really enjoyed the sweating. I would argue that this was a more competitive and stressful battle because no one had insanely overpowered pokemon, thus making it better to be able to read your opponent and think on the go. Hope to see more vids like this one, a nice breather in comparison to other battles were each person had a full set of legends!!!

Shady, you have my absolute respect. You get unlucky when it matters but you still either make it very close or just win.

First the odds in shiny, then dylan picks a non-shiny from the bunch multiple times, so we battle with Dylan's buffed team with normal mons and in the battle get critted when matters, attacks misses when matters and still after all that stacked against you, still pull through with the wins. What a GOAT man, salute to you.

Not shady running synthesis on an Assault Vest mon...

[nikhiljpopat]

13:59 assault vest with synthesis shady why :(

[hwatson]

Videos like this are why I became a shady person 10 years ago. I feel like at his best, Shady is up there with say pokeaim and Shofu when it comes to battle strategy. Even through throwing and being the most unlucky person ever in these videos; he still manages to pull out the W or keep the game really close. Love the more competitive content, it's absolutely what I'm here for.

[GrandpaCas]

God do I love the fact that Shady named all the mons after characters from such an UNDERRATED anime. Zatch Bell was an absolute favorite growing up, and if you don't know there is a sequel manga that is on going.

[toothbudz]

I feel like Shady has been raging more than ever before, that poor desk is holding on by a toothpick. Granted his luck has been worse than usual so I don’t blame him lol… poor guy

[cloudkat]

I swear, Dylan says "He's never seen this before in his life." Every single time Chilling Reception is used. And I feel like 90% of it is when he's battling Shady.

[ScubaShark]

38:26 Media Offline vs Dylan… a battle for the ages…

[earthbloodelf]

You know, at a certain point I just completely forgot this wasn't a DBD video and I was wondering what Shady would take for himself and give to Dylan at the end, and then I remembered that it was a Shady video LOL

[EunoiaRPG]

I love these longer, really even battles. You guys get to show off a lot more strategy and reading the opponent

Drawn out battles *can* be boring, but thats more so if theres things like blissey in the mix. Where nothing happens for 50+ turns

[chaseharmon]

Love y'all gassing up Pat at the start there. Can't wait to watch him react to this, haha
