Dylan: "Pecharunt has base 160 defense so I built him defensively." *Pecharunt tanks a physical move* Dylan: 😮

[@JamesSomersetActor]

I came here to say this lol

[@cultofmel]

and 88 HP as well, which makes it the second most physically bulky mon, only beaten by avalugg- third if you count hisui avalugg as a different pokemon, but i wouldn't (i'm also excluding megas/primals since they don't exist anymore) even mons like toxapex for instance only have 50 HP and 152 defense

[@Jeksignup49]

I mean the fact that Dylan was that surprised at Percharunt taking Outrage when he said it had 160 defense is incredible

[@coltonpark1930]

Franks stealth rock strategy is pretty smart, but unfortunately all of Dylan’s mons took neutral damage from rocks so it actually didn’t tell him anything 😂

[@nolansaylor7710]

Well, it did tell frank they aren't weak to rock type moves. That is something. It was smart and could've worked out better, but it's a start. Edit, If Frank had used a second to think when he saw Dylan's pokemon maybe he could've seen they would all take neutral damage and wouldn't have wasted his terrakion.

[@Xeroxthebeautiful]

It still at least told him if a new mon was swapped in

[@kathrynwoodruff354]

Also the move still chips away at Pokemon's health, even if it's just by a little bit.

[@lawrencebaker9438]

Dylan and Frank picking starters: "We get to goof off now but during the battle we lock in." Dylan and Frank during the battle: "What's the title of this video, pokemon but we don't know the pokemon?"

[@bordomsdeadly]

"Who's that Pokemon" would've been a perfect title

[@camnotell179]

Could change this to all illusion but one with Wonder Guard. Would add a layer of unpredictability to which you would give Wonder Guard to and which of the 5 isn't actually an illusion.

[@AustinPayne-t4w]

NGL, it made me crack a smile as well, but Dylan's reaction had me silent laughing like crazy

[@DavidKyokushin]

Gotta love how his entire spiel about Stealth Rock identifying which pokemon was which based on the damage it did ... with all the opponent's team being neutral to it...

[@kitsunekage12]

I mean, hey - it *did* still win him the game either way by popping that focus sash so I guess it worked out.

[@tmenke88]

Frank always gets me with the "wow, this is a pokemon video" gag. I fall for it every time, but it always makes me chuckle.

[@afterlyte]

As a fellow early 2000s kid, Frank not knowing who Marvin the Martian is is actually criminal and he should be locked up immediately

[@scorpius_32]

25:18 Pecharunt has 160 base defense. That’s why he tanked it.

[@kitsunekage12]

He also literally said he built it nothing but Def and HP lol.

[@giorgiodaltrozzo9413]

That illusion thing was actually really funny. No op abilities for once. Just game of guessing 😂

[@trevorsreya8277]

Frank's strat with the stealth rocks makes sense, but he forgot to look at team preview to see how well it would work. All of Dylan's mons take neutral damage from rocks.

[@Alsebra]

Neither Rock nor Water resist Rock, so Drednaw takes neutral damage from the rocks.

[@trevorsreya8277]

@@Alsebra I thought rock resisted rock, my bad. I'll edit my original post.

[@harryhanddrawn]

I'm pretty sure they dont know what each other's pokemons are until the match based on their reaction, so he already have the Terrakion set for the strat, so might as well use it

[@trevorsreya8277]

@@harryhanddrawn They can see each other's teams in team preview. And can also take a look at each other's team throughout the match, so he had all the information. Then he proudly proclaimed his strat not realizing it wouldn't work. Rocks are still useful, but wasn't going to reveal anything.

[@Alsebra]

@@trevorsreya8277, no worries...it's a common misconception (likely stemming from the common pairing of Rock/Ground resisting Rock).

[@iannsmith5340]

4:11 You built your Pecharunt way too nicely. Mine is Recover, Toxic, Parting Shot, and Shadow Ball. With his normal ability toxic now also confuses. His move pool is literally built to toxic stall.

[@FroyoMNS]

I prefer a middle ground between those two - Recover, Malignant Chain, Shadow Ball, Parting Shot. I believe it’s also the set they use on Pokémon Showdown Random Battles.

[@spiritsong4026]

He probably didn't know anything about Pecharent. Remember when he saw it he was like "what is that thing?" If he knew more about it he'll probably use the same moves as what you said or different ones

[@foxythepiratefox1835]

Would be interesting to See you guys doing that with wild pokémon! Like Zorua disguises itself! I don't know how Hard it is too mod that but seeing a "we catch disguised Pokémon then we battle" would be really funny! And like really random and you have to think a lot to make that Team work as your members are more or less random!😁😁😁😁

[@moatazgaber3109]

you're basically describing a "we hatch random Pokémon eggs and give them disguise"

[@foxythepiratefox1835]

@@moatazgaber3109 nah that is Not What I mean. I mean Zorua is disguising itself in the wild. With dark Sandwich it appears as Mabbostiff for example. The Idea is to let Pokémon in the wild disguise themselves and finding out what you got by only encountering it... It is like Schrödingers Cat you only find out when you encounter it and See what disguised iself there😅😇😇

[@windstar120025]

Dylan having like 5/6 of his mons being neutral to rock realy makes the Terrakion play worth it XD

[@TheUpsidesKen]

I will forever enjoy Frank's "oooh, this is a Pokemon video" bit.

[@Noam-k]

You should've asked smallant about how to do the ability because he made a video where every pokemon had wonder guard ON TOP of their regular ability, so you might've been able to have actual abilities on top if he helped you figure out how to do that

[@mitrioneworld]

He did it in Emerald, the code is way easier to change because of the game being decomped.

[@SnowLily06]

Yup, the person above is right. Frank has spent a lot of time trying to make pokemon have multiple abilities in the switch games, and it is impossible

[@WanderingCheshire]

Than how can they do palofins ability and another random ability

[@SnowLily06]

@WanderingCheshire easy, they don't. They do have a mod that allows them to use the hero form of palafin without needing zero to hero though.

[@WanderingCheshire]

@@SnowLily06 thank you

[@scorcher130]

At this point, Frank should just wear a focus band on his arm. In case something happens, he has a 10% chance of effectively plot armor

[@Hazedboss]

I honestly wish this was one where you guys did best two out of three. One of my favorites yet! GG guys.

[@FoxLightstep]

The fact that Frank doesn't know who Marvin the Martian is is just a little bit distressing, tbh.

[@judaiyuki5597]

13:27 i havent been looking errors in the cards but as i was reaching for my spacebar to resume the video i noticed shadow ball was marked as a physical move and i dont know about match gatcha but spilling a drink on someone sounds like a special move too 😂

[@CamillaBishops]

Seeing Frank trying to understand who the pokemon called TOP HAT is is so funny to me Like he knows Dylan has a Hatterene

[@Digging_Ma]

Frank couldn't see that name. Illusion only shows you the name of the pokémon you are disguised as. All Frank could see was the Dreadnaw's nickname every time. You can see this if you look at what Frank's pokémon look like from Dylan's perspective.

[@Efire76]

Franks Pokémon bits are the best thing to look forward to across all of the fight channels.

[@AustinPayne-t4w]

Frank naming all his pokemon (insert species name) and then a question mark is the most fire nicknaming concept I've ever seen in my life, especially for this video concept in particular.

[@haydenhasabeard]

Dylan singing FOB was not something I expected in this video

[@Copper_Chip]

13:20 ah yes physical shadow ball and matcha gotcha, my favourite 😂

[@lostdogg]

Should do a then we fight where every pokemon has the Imposter Ability. So you have to be really careful about what pokemon you choose to bring

[@ctamybeloved777]

The funny thing is, I was just thinking about suggesting this as an idea. On another note, next time you see Pecharunt, I suggest using these moves and this tera type: Tera fighting Tera blast, shadow ball, malignant chain, nasty plot. Max spA if you want, but I suggest more boosting its hp and special defense and putting about 100 or so EVs into special attack. Yeah, it’s a tera sink and it kinda has to set up, but it’s good if you play it right, trust me.

[@StaticPika]

Love the videos you post! It was a very new and different idea that was dope to watch and love who you collab with! Hope you keep creating more! 😄

[@AztecCroc]

15:24 It would be very cool, if not for the fact that every Pokemon on his opponent's team takes neutral damage from Rock.

[@mitchlefebvre]

An interesting spin off of this idea would be a 5v5 battle with every mom having illusion, but both parties have a terrible Pokémon as their 6th in the last slot (like Magikarp) so every Mon would show up on the field as a Magikarp or something like that

[@Jeksignup49]

7:57 I mean that’s kinda big brain/genius, but too bad Dylan’s entire team took neutral damage and not fire, flying or bug damage to rocks

[@FNAF-RNG-Tycoon]

Stored power Lati Confused me so bad

[@Alsebra]

Why's that? In this sort of situation (where you don't necessarily know what is on the field), having access to set-up moves is a good stopgap...especially if your opponent ends up using a move to which your Pokémon is immune (forcing either a switch or a different move choice). Yes, Psychic would hit fairly hard to start with, but Stored Power would hit *much* harder with a second turn of setting up...first turn Agility (opponent sets up as well), second turn Calm Mind (opponent uses a neutral move, breaking Illusion), third turn +1 Stored Power at effectively 100 power before STAB.

[@SnowLily06]

Stored power Latias is really easy to sweep with

So this is how i remember the differences. Look at the chest. Red triangle on chest = latios (O being Omega and therefore ruby red) and blue = latias (A being Alpha and therefore sapphire blue)

[@Alsebra]

The way I always figured it was that, in some non-English languages, names ending in 'a' or 'o' are generally tied to one gender or the other, as are the colors of the pair. Names that end in 'a' are often more feminine (Maria, Julia) and Latias is closer to pink (a color often ascribed to females), while names ending in 'o' (Mario, Julio...why did this work out this perfectly?) are generally masculine and Latios is blue (the color generally given to males).
