Pokémon Trainer Battle: Trace VS Lance (CHAMPION BEST TEAMS COLLIDE! True Power Tournament)

[@SilphSpectre]

It's time - they've both ruled over the Indigo Plateau, but it's time to determine which is the stronger trainer once and for all. Hope you guys enjoy this one and are having fun with the series! Let's BREAK the algorithm today and beat 2000 Likes!

[@vbph2011]

EDIT: Great battle! Very satisfying to see Trace lose, personally. It'll be fun to see how far Outraged Garchomp/Dragonite will be able to carry Lance. Id love to have a loser's bracket,too. Some people are salty about some match ups/battles/losses, and a loser's bracket would give the losers a second chance to shine, and give everyone else another chance to be salty. And it would be more Pokemon content from Siph, which is really what it's all about.

[@AliLiz91]

Thank you so much for the consistent uploading. These true power videos are great and they're really exciting. (:

[@vbph2011]

@8balln8 killingu65 oh yeah I'm loving the fights. I dont know much about competive, but they're really fun to watch. I mostly just want more content, and the opportunity to see some teams who got swept/did the sweeping to show off all their pokemon and potential.

[@TheGreatReveler]

8balln8 killingu65 Ash isn’t in the main series games, though. We have Red instead.

[@TapDat52K]

Im surprised Jolteon took Shadow-ball instead of Hidden Power Ice. Especially against the Dragon whisperer. :P But it was another fantastic fight. Good job to you and your friend for making this happen :D

[@grapeCaptain]

It’s a shame that the tournament uniform regulations prevented lance from wearing his cape...

What game is this played on?

Lance realized he had Multiscale and Yache Berries, so Slowbro can't solo him again.

[@loganmoreau7569]

If Trace wins, literally everyone is gonna be like “How?”

[@loganmoreau7569]

Spoilers! THANK GOD!

[@Shuyin128MK4]

I mean from a competitive standpoint it's "How?" But from a lore standpoint Trace did beat him to become champion, but that was just with Lance's pure Kanto team.

[@thetabbyguy921]

Honestly i knew the outcome as soon as i saw the draw at least lance isn't stupid enough to only have 3 moves on his team

[@ksoundkaiju9256]

Scary part was that Trace was whippin Lance's ass in the first half of the fight

[@thetabbyguy921]

@@ksoundkaiju9256 not really trace had a good run but it was still tight

@@maxi8664 I was wondering the same, it's the main reason to use Mega Pidgeot!

@@maxi8664 now that you mention it, you're right! To be fair, I don't think having Hurricane would have saved it, but it might've at least done more damage.

We all miss it

[@michaelbrown9877]

This is the best series on KZbin...Thanks Spectre

[@calkestis4947]

(spoilers) Phew. Trace got me worried there for a second. But alas, my favored contestant pulled through. Fat boi dragons for the win 🐉

Freaking Marowak the dragonslayer

[@RWAsur]

Same!! Lance fans band together

[@victorpagan3966]

For real man going into it I had no expectations for Trace at all but he almost pulled off the upset.

[@bruceantonio3080]

Lance's garchomp is his mvp lol

[@eshasunrise]

I love that the thumbnail is just Lance and Trace waving hello to each other

[@number16kelbax]

It totally is 😂

[@visioapparel4302]

Honestly I get that Trace is a bit of a forgettable Champion, but he's got a certain charm to him. He's just a determined kid that made it far, similar to Red and Blue before him, and this battle proves he's more than most give him credit for

[@ariesstorm9577]

This series is amazing, the commentary is gold. But, I have to ask. When we finally discover the Champion, can we please see him or her face one final challenge. I think we all need to see the Champion take on *your* true power Silph.

[@pizzamangran]

Looking at those teams; Trace didn’t really have a chance haha. Can’t wait for the next one

[@stompingrabbit]

8:12 Garchomp be like "DAMN YOU WOKE ME UP AGAIN"

[@kamikazexd11]

In the next round its going to be charizard X vs charizard Y (Blue vs Lance). This series is hype

[@MrMcawsome12]

I know I’ve commented similar thing on every other video but I don’t have the words to describe how fulfilling this series is for me I’ve been playing Pokémon since the 1st grade this has always been something I’ve desired to see and now it’s here thank you sylph from the bottom of this old mans heart 😄

[@lokiamaterasu6875]

Awesome commentary mate keep this tournament coming

[@magikarpkingdom9698]

Man this was hype!!! It was more evenly matched then I expected. Gets me more hyped for future battles too.😆💖 If the first rounds are like this, just imagine the battles in the second round.🤩🎉

[@SilphSpectre]

Ayy thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, looking ahead at some of the Quarterfinal matches lining up, even I'M getting excited 😂😂

[@Azumafoo]

That's what I'm exceptionally excited for

[@PansyPops]

You are a really underrated youtuber. I am definitely going to tell my mates about you, these videos are really entertaining and enjoyable.

[@SilphSpectre]

Ayy thanks so much my friend! I really appreciate that; any sharing of the videos helps the series more than one might think! Hope your friends enjoy as well 😄🙌

[@PansyPops]

SilphSpectre your videos deserve to be more popular, they are really unique and better than most big youtuber’s videos.

[@nazeersadek6705]

You’re really spoiling us with those consistent updates Silph 😁 just make sure you don’t suffer burn out and over do it

[@terrencego4562]

Man, you're dishing out these videos almost daily now, you are on 🔥🔥🔥

[@NevG27]

Discount Blue goes down. Let's see the real Blue kick Lance's ass.

[@KingOfKinglers1878]

Amazing series, please bring it back once this tournament is complete, even in a different capacity your commentary is fantastic

[@kingblackwaffle]

There's about 6-8 other generations. I'm sure this series will go on for quiet some time

[@ashdust9832]

I think we all know Trace cheated when he beat lance the first time

[@Shuyin128MK4]

Lance was using a pure-Kanto team in Lets GO that Slowbro likely tore through, with his full power potential Lance stands a lot better of a chance.

[@SheaStyles]

The cheat he used was called plot armor

[@Sandsquanchy]

Was just thinking today how sad I'll be when this series is done. You should do a doubles tournament next, keep the hype alive.

[@tatsukinomiya]

This series has been HYPED!!! It isn't about the W here, it's more so how it all went down. Really great fight on Trace's part!

[@andyz2987]

I always look forward to these!!!

[@LordKraken3]

SPOILERS! I guess this is how Lance becomes champion if a Let's Go Johto set of games is revealed down the road. (god I hope not-)

[@PostTR69]

Bruh this is so good. I wasn't big on competitive Pokemon but now 😳👌🔥

[@agediho6009]

Lance is not afraid to beat the snot of a child, that's why he's champion

[@vikrambansal1416]

i have never clicked on vids so fast... this is so fun to watch

[@heyitstheblackguy]

mr1upz: This kid is the region champion! His team peaked ten steps out if his front door!

[@Mobeku]

Trace looking at Lance’s team: *chuckles* I’m in danger

[@RWAsur]

Trace did well, he had good rng on his side with sleep powder and scald setting status, even if he didn't get that poison on, it wouldn't have mattered. Good game Silph thanks for another great fight!

[@michaelmurray8134]

My money was definitely on Lance but like you said trace's team put up one heck of a fight. I also saw if the two people battling next Agatha vs Blaine. Ghost vs Fire meaning most of their Pokemon will have to rely either on their secondary typing or shearpower.

[@theness_1015]

Wooo almost first! Love this series silph keep it up!!

[@KleinerHermano]

That was incredible! Really enjoying the hyped battles and seeing the sudden twists in who has the advantage. Keep it coming!

[@AzureTheSky]

Absolutely great! I'm so hyped for the next battles. And we can have several championships! This is going to be really cool.

[@Furitaurus]

I mean... did we honestly think this was going to end any other way?

These are so freaking good!! I can't wait to see how many other tournaments we get with this same set up. So awesome!

[@FreeXax]

This is the best series on KZbin right now.

[@ATK1734]

Props to Trace...but bruh went up against a dude with a team with 4 pseudo-legendaries on it. This match (like Erika vs Lt. Surge) was terribly one-sided.

[@f.prince6642]

Brother. I must say my day changes when I see these videos come out.Thank you 🙏

[@JoePlinkelton]

Lance Team just had too many pokemon that were capable of late-game sweeping, basically making the shown outcome the most propable

[@exoticgamer5454]

Awesome Video! These True Power Vs battles are so exciting to watch! I don't like garchomp but I hate to say that thing is pretty powerful! Next match pls bring Agatha Vs Blaine. Seems very interesting.

[@charlesv5h975]

This series is sooooo good! Great job Silph!

[@radicalswampert7980]

I cannot express the magnitude of the love I have for your fucking channel. You rock homie

[@Anthony-wr2sm]

Trace reminds me of characters from the Pokemon Adventures Manga, like Yellow etc. that just battle with their best buddies rather than worry about strength.

[@airschut13]

Another heart pounding battle! What a wonderful match up between these two rivals!

[@El_Coqui74]

Not gonna lie. I’m actually really excited for this whole series. It’s really entertaining and fun! Keep it up Silph! (And everyone involved!) Ps. Greetings from Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷💜

Hi silph hope u read it ,I really want to appreciate on your regularity Just never get disappointed by the likes or views cz u r really the entertainer and those who don't know about your work a missing quite much.Bye waiting for the next video

[@meghanaingleshwar]

Just a note:mixed salamence is a very goodset but mixed-mence as it’s dubbed is usually a Mega-Salamence set because of aerialate making Double-Edge flying type and the mixed-Mega-Mence set is:Draco Meteor,Double-Edge,Fire Blast/Earthquake,and Roost/Refresh. Hope the info helped w/remakes of the true power series if that ever happens

[@RayAkuma]

Why do I get this video, which I just watched a few days ago, recommended again xD

Is anyone going to talk about how it is now Lance vs Blue?? That's going to be a brutal war.

[@nazeersadek6705]

Oh damn that battle would very epic

[@catriamflockentanz]

Trace's True Power was easy to pinpoint I suppose? In Trace's Defense: He had to deal with three Pokémon he had never even seen before. And all three off them being Pseudo-Legis on top of that.

[@heppyzx5877]

Bird, horse and mushroom vs 5 dragons and a sea serpent. I know who I'm betting on!!

[@evankurasu3190]

I still can't get over how happy i am that these aren't taking place in the Sword/Shield games, regardless of the reasons.

[@soundmind38]

Before I watch I'm guessing Trace about to get put in a body bag. Ehhh Lances trainer made it way closer than it should of been by not predicting any switches. Like Trace wasn't going to switch his grass type out against a fire type, dragon claw or something was what I was expecting.

[@protogizzy1677]

trace needed to have another showing for this match to be close he only had gen 1 pokemon im honestly surprised it was that close

[@jollydragonite640]

My girlfriend had to yell at me for being so loud Becuz the battle was that intense. When Gyarados got the burn I LOST it

[@jakemanternach6393]

[@sleepysenpai35]

Aah, too bad. Trace played better than Lance, but Lance just had the better Pokémon. RIP

[@Portmonet]

[@GlobalDigitalEmpire]

Slowbro was the key! If Trace had switched him out (assuming it had regenerator) it could've helped against those dragons!

[@vasillabaptiste1766]

With the team Trace had, he played better than Lance

[@madmikedisease7486]

How do you expect to beat Lance with a Vileplume, Rapidash, and Jolteon? Poor kid didn't stand a chance.

[@namelesssturdy4676]

Lance my boy will reach finals with blue

[@staybizzyentertainment1759]

These videos combat my depression

[@Kimihro]

Not gonna lie, Trace's team definitely had its advantages but raw stats definitely won Lance out. Wonder if a Marowak Thick Club Double Edge can oneshot a Pseudo. If Slowbro had been the mega might have been easy pickings, buy who knows.

[@MasonNoThumbs]

Agatha VS BLAINE next he better spam hyper potions lmao
