Shady trying desperately to preserve lando's HP as his only answer for gouging fire Azelf: *Nah, I'd win*

[@celesteelka]

What a turn around! Azelf screaming "Put me in, coach!" all game making it worth it, holy.

[@AjentVee]

Living on 8 HP too! Azelf put in the work

Greedant was trying so hard in this one

He's getting a raise after this match.

[@MrMMOnoob]

So no one else caught the "you brought this in for a specific wheezing" comment? how many times did shady practice that in the mirror...

[@JFantauzzi7]

Caught it right away 😂😂😂😂

Came here to say this 😂

11:21. I get it now.😂

[@Chumba802]

Oh i did i even rewound the video to make sure i heard it right

[@a_delightful_nerd]

Oh I got it lmao

[@alfonsorivera8408]

That Azelf deserves a renegotiated contract with the New York Mankeys.

[@SleepySheepy22]

Can't believe he was hustle the whole time and landed every prior attack lol

[@tristanbowles7258]

Lilligant being Hustle was SUCH a twist for me. I never even considered it

[@MilesIsHim2130]

To be fair if you see a team that doesn’t have a sun setter like Chase’s team was for this week and you see H-Lilligant you gotta automatically assume that they’re Hustle right off the bat. Especially because there’s no way that you would run Leaf Guard or Chlorophyll on Lilligant without a sun setter unless you come up with a heat set or something along those lines

[@tristanbowles7258]

@@MilesIsHim2130 I still would run those abilities over the added 20% miss chance. That’s too inconsistent for my blood

[@MilesIsHim2130]

[@vulcanflash4228]

Appreciate the FE love! One of my favorite series!

[@yonkonomi5706]

Not gonna lie I truly missed the draft leagues. The UCL, GBA, and others were some of my favorite series back in the day! Glad to see you back in a competitive environment

[@marquissmason2108]

man the GBA back then were so lit

[@MetaMech]

For real

[@MrMIDP]

Yeah, I stopped seeing shady's channel when he stopped with that content, I liked hearing him scream "it's a crit!"

[@celesteelka]

I'll say it every week: it truly feels so good to be watching Shady draft videos after so long. It feels like coming home.

[@Zac_Frost]

Right? These and Live WiFi battles in Gen 6 were such good content.

[@NumbNexus]

I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH OF A HEART ATTACK THIS GAME GAVE ME... A FULL FLEDGED VIDEOGAME FULL OF WHITE DAD PURIFIED ENERGY AND PEAK LEVEL CHAMPION TITANS... WOW!!

[@KSanil]

just love the explanation part and how the stats are shown cleanly for us

[@irondrum]

the nerves from nearly getting swept to reverse sweeping was insanity

[@snipperriffel]

HA! Love the line 'you brought this in for a specific Weezing'. Nicely done

[@CarlosSanchezonGoogle]

Got a chuckle out of me 😆

I'm missing the joke, can you explain?

[@celestia74]

@@hazagiigazah attempting to rhyme it with 'reason'

[@StoicForce]

Shady actually gaslit me into thinking Leaf Blade was

[@BoardingAutumn2]

Literally me

[@PEMDAB42]

Hisuian lilligant is built to be on a sun team. Chlorophyll can make it faster in the sun or leaf guard can protect it from most status conditions while in sun. Shady was probably focused on that and never even realized it got hustle.

[@ephlip]

What an insane battle, the music ramping up on the leaf blade miss was peak editing !

[@lucaspaiva8659]

Shady, a tip: the amount of health rotom has after pain spliting a mon is the exact same amount as of your opponent's mon you just hit with a pain split in Health Points. So, in 22:52, you actually can know the amount of HP that Greedent has, which is 147. Assuming that Greedent has 252 HP EVs (which is most likely because Greedent wants to be bulky), the Greedent has 33% of its total HP left (max HP of Greedent is 444).

[@luigimanzelli3786]

man this Lilligant was actually trying so hard to carry, landing every single attack while packing Hustle is actually insane, honorable mention to Azelf as well for just tanking the D-claw. GGs

[@zunarix8880]

Wow, this is was one the most engaging Pokemon videos I've watched this year. The thunderwave miss was so hard to see. Then I saw the leaf blade miss got me at the edge of me seat. Good video shady!

[@chaseharmon4652]

So from what I've gathered from other comments... Lilligant was not Lum Berry, but Wide Lens, because it was Hustle. Thus it was able to miss the 100% accurate Leaf Blade. So another Thunder Wave could have helped, but the choice to run Hustle is what sunk that ship. Well played Shady, super good match!

[@trapdex3337]

it was the fact that his opponent just victory danced again, seemed like a play you'd only make if you were lum berry. So it was a safe assumption based on the plays that it was lum. But in the end obviously there is no way he could have known, and to throw off another t-wave knowing that he was lum would have been stupid.

[@LAZZA1993]

​@trapdex3337 it's actually the plays you'd make when you're NOT lum. If not lum you need to make yourself as fast as possible > victory dancing is better. If you are lum, you want grimmsnarl dead ASAP as it has prankster t wave, which always goes first, so you'd lean towards attacking. Faulty reasoning from Shady there 😢

[@philippetromans4499]

Wow the Lando T and Grimmsnarl plays were INSANE

[@Matts10100]

Really digging the Black Clover nicknames from CBAD

[@SketchpadLad]

Never watched draft league content in the past, this is very fun! Very interesting to see a battle play out like this as opposed to how they would in a “then we battle” style vid. Excited to keep watching!

[@Shuckleking87]

Shady showing why landorus is still the Pokémon GOAT, great game man!

[@sizzledan31]

Other than the Reflect play against the Brick Breaking Lilligant, you played this perfectly. Great prep and great play Shady!

[@theshnoz352]

Azelf went crazy! cant believe it lived that +1 dragon claw. Happy to see you get that 1st W out of the way!

[@inserttaken_name1762]

ikr specially condidering azelf tends to be played the least bulky of the trio. after they got that new move from LA i been nothing but impressed by the lake trio

[@DylanThompson9063]

Been loving these videos so far. Can't wait until next week

[@voidmajora]

So loving the draft league! I am beyond happy that it is back! Go New York Mankeys! I can NOT wait for this week's battle! Keep up the good battling Shady!

[@Hazelnutleaf]

Woooo!! go Shady!!! So happy you’re back doing this and just want to say we all appreciate the work you put into this so much 💗 go Mankeys!!!

[@beardlessdragon]

Man, what an intense battle! Love your content, so fun to watch you doing comp matches. Gl in the rest of the league!

[@inspiredice6956]

Watching you is always enjoyable Shady, its so nostalgic seeing you in a draft series again. I love this~

[@dbuti164]

Let’s go shady! Loved your draft vids back in the GBA, happy to see you back

[@Milk_Chocolate_The_Destroyer]

Really enjoy the draft league stuff. Congratulations on the dub ✊🏽

[@StaticPika]

LOVE your videos man! I really enjoy that the Shady P that I watched when I was younger is back and congrats on your first victory! 😄

[@Spidersaiyan]

Damn, that was a wild game! I can't believe how close it ended up being, after a few moments that looked like the match was over! GG!

[@cjhickey5268]

Still so glad to see you and the Mankeys back on the draft. Looking forward to these matches every week.

[@1ManBand915]

Came back to watch it a second time like you asked in the stream. Please don't stop doing these haha

[@RosebudsASled]

Let’s gooo Shady! Such a terrifying match, but well fought on both sides!

[@Snowy0428]

More Draft League! So excited!!

[@btu1734]

Super excited to have the New York Mankeys back and going strong. Shady literally defined most of my childhood and I can’t express how happy seeing draft back makes me. Spoilers for the outcome of the game: Congrats on your first win! Honestly, I’m really surprised that CBad opted to not bring Sun this game. In this game I think he always should’ve brought Sun. It makes me wonder if he was sunny day Corviknight and never got to show it, though scald on walking wake tell me otherwise. Honestly, I think regardless of lum, the play was to always spam thunder wave and then parting shot. But other than that, the game was played beautifully and you had a very well deserved win.

[@verysuboptimal1977]

Such a hype close battle, great to see you back in draft!

[@NebulaAlterna]

Let’s goooooo Shady, you played so well dude even despite things you could’ve done differently. Great match, so happy to see you back in draft. Making me feel like a kid again!

Glad draft is back with such a positive energy and without the toxic influences!!!

[@deavenhendrix]

This was the most exciting pokemon content I've seen in a minute

[@LagrimaArdiente]

That was an insanely good match! I was so shocked when Leaf Blade missed until I remember that Hisuian Lilligant has Hustle. To hit that many moves with Hustle, though... I think she must have been holding a Wide Lens, which ironically means she didn't have the Lum Berry that Shady was tormenting himself over.

[@inserttaken_name1762]

man foresight is 20/20 the moment that leaf blade missed i swear i said ''you are hustle as sin'' and it makes sense they have wide lens considering there's no way in distortion world you run hustle triple axel without the lens as a buffer

[@ChefBoyerdee]

AHHHHH So happy seeing you in draft again shady!

[@MarquisStokes]

Great match! Glad the second match resulted in a victory for the NYM! Though it was nice to see a Greedant giving you some trouble 😆 Hoping the next match goes well!

[@MegaLeege]

LFG Shady!! Congrats on the win! Give yourself some credit:)

Shady, I just gotta say that I love hearing the newest Fire Emblem music in your videos. It's such great stuff. EDIT: And did I hear SWTOR music about halfway through? Legendary battle playlist Shady.

[@TheDrock08]

DUDE!!!!! That Leaf Blade miss was HUGE!!!! Granted I feel it was fair since that Thunder Wave missed. I commend you for keeping your composure because it was definitely a little dicey there Mid going into late game. You played well!! Great win!!

[@robpij88]

Good win! Time to streak some early wins! Good luck 👍 Also if you battle Drew you guys should do a post game press conference that would be awesome!
