One Pokeball to Catch the Strongest Pokémon

Ten minutes to catch just one Pokemon, and whosever is stronger gets a point...but beware: you might have to trade!

I think it’s very sweet Mikey was willing to stop the recording to have a conversation if John really needed it, that’s a great friend right there :)

I love these guys. Their friendship is so nice to watch - I love how John is talking about making a mistake, and Mikey's like: "Wait, are you talking about Pokemon, or do we have to stop recording and chat?" Like, that's so nice to see bros being supportive.
...But yeah, John, wtf were you thinking letting Groudon get away like that?

4:40 if anyone was wondering, Magby is actually second strongest baby, only beaten by Munchlax, so John would most likely still win anyway

25:00 “I got nothing the entire round” John says after he runs away from a Volcarona and a Terrakion

[FarVern]

24:58 John: "Oh I found nothing the entire round"
Me: "Did I not see a TERRAKION on your screen about a minute before that statement?"

It isn't a JMC episode without John catching a Shiny.

Mikey’s discussion of how being mildly ill stops him from overthinking reminds me of when I took my ACTs for college. I’d been struggling for months to raise my score, went in with a bad head cold, came out with a 32 of 36, which I needed to get a scholarship.

It really does simplify things if you have anxiety.

“My strategy flawless, you, no idea, end result, terrible”

The biggest laugh I’ve had all week 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the John Micheal Cup videos!

Mikey willingly to stop his recording to talk to John if he had a problem. That he wanted to talk about. True friendship right there!

[xiphiasoffishwell]

It's becoming more and more evident that Mikey is a human shiny charm and John is exploiting that part of their friendship.

The bird controlling Mikey is actually John Michael Wingull

15:20 Omg new JMC lore!! Cannot wait for the Feathrington fan art on ASPITPIAY 😂

[lolgamming]

I find it very funny that they had to implement a rule that the trade only goes through if the pokémon being traded can be scored because of what purplecliff did the last time they did this challenge

[PieToast]

22:20 Virizion truly does follow john everywhere

[claudekaneiii]

A Lion King 2 reference in the first 45 seconds?!? S Tier video!

[TheCrafter]

16:22 Love the "Fossils! da da da" Phineas and Ferb reference

[laineedoescolorguard]

Mikey is an amazing friend for offering to stop the recording to chat. Let’s give these guys a round of applause 👏

[MrHappyfr]

We had an *incident* on my campus last week. Always take the time to have those conversations.

24:00 John, did you not see the Terrakion. Because there was a Terrakion in that hoard on the far left

[kbeatzgonecrazy]

John getting hyped over a Ledian is the exact hype I got when I was able to add Raticate in my original Heartgold team and beat Lance.
