Pokemon Sword & Shield: GYM LEADER BATTLE || Metal Cover by RichaadEB

[@invisiblestorm2340]

“I fear not the man who has trained 1000 Pokémon one time, but I do fear the man who has trained 1 breed of Pokémon 1000 times” - the undefeated champion Leon

[@energyhammer2342]

"I fear no trainer" - pkmn champion cynthia

[@JordanGold5227]

I fear for their safety considering anyone with a basic knowledge of type advantages knows how to wreck that trainer. Wait, is that why we beat the "Undefeated Champion" Leon so easily?

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Sounds like he should be scared of me lol

[@bigchungus6827]

@@JordanGold5227 I mean, to be fair, when have you seen a champion understand type advantages before?

[@JoseRodriguez-kz1km]

Until ash and Leon haves a rematch I’m calling it. Ashes dragonite beats Leon’s charizard

[@halla2510]

When I clicked on the video, I wasn’t sure how well this song would translate into metal, but it sounds great!

[@azertyqwerty8398]

Everything translated by Richaadeb is perfect. Sorry, when it's a bad day, it's only excellent.

[@creativeusername9829]

Late here, but everything translates into a different genre perfectly. The problem is the arrangers who don't know what they are doing.

[@MidnaMischievousImp]

This should have been the variant for Gym Leader Piers

[@_V.Va_]

I prefer the unique theme he already has.

[@muladiajisasmito1361]

It can be for rematching Piers, maybe.

[@Spacefrisian]

Piers would be more punk style, not metal. 2 very different styles.

[@ozbrown8401]

Hell yes

[@zcatcher8955]

This should be Raihan’s variant theme

[@lucasboat]

Yes! A team of 6 Wooloos is all a gym leader needs

[@Anime-Doof]

**DYNAMAX**

[@thiccastley7050]

@Darkwireman Wooloo would find a way to Mega and Z-move as well. *Even if they don't make it into the game.

[@soumilbiswas1841]

*Wooloo proceeds to slowly disembowel you with it's cuteness*

[@leonides1527]

Nah. Team snom better

[@morganpriest7726]

dragon king leonides1527 and it’s leader... is the radiance

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

What a missed opportunity to not have the gym leader theme be different variations for each leader, ya know? We're already listening to Raihan's version right here.

[@blackvial]

I think Piers has his own version of the theme

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

@@blackvial That's his own theme, not a variation.

[@NekoinaBox2000]

They have never done that before except for special story leaders. I feel as if this is a nit pick on the Pokémon series as a whole. The game itself made a fantastic track for this occasion

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

@@NekoinaBox2000 It has nothing to do with the whole series. Gym battles in SWSH are taken so seriously that it's a sensational sports league. I just think variations would add even more flavor and character to the fights. I mean, you'd think the leaders would be endorsed to have such a thing. lol

[@xinf3ctdx]

@@EnvyMizuhashi I don't think it'd really be a good idea. Most of the gym leaders are kinda throwaway characters who don't really have much of a personality. I think designing a unique variation of this theme for every single gym leader would be really hard, considering how little you'd have to work with for some of the characters.

[@stardoogalaxie9314]

I guess you could say this is a steel type cover

[@pemudabergairah]

GET OUT

[@loganschroeder3880]

Cuz this is fuckin METAL

[@diegooliveira5461]

RichaadEB used Metalsound. It's super effective

[@goroufromgenshin57107]

*chuckles* not so cocky now are we Bede?

[@poketcg1592]

Lol fuck off I love you.

[@Maze04_]

やっぱ絵があると英語表記の 動画でもなにやってんのか 分かりやすいからいいね

[@むさしまるーん]

ポケモンが海外展開してて良かった...

[@kheasboroki3928]

Damn, never been this early! Excellent work! The song fits perfectly with your style

[@battlemageazulio1019]

*>Minor League Leader Beckett accepts your challenge!* *>Minor League Leader Beckett sent out Dottler!* This is my idea for a Bug-type leader- a man in his 50's who, despite never making it out of the Minor Leagues, never gave up on his precious Bug types. His team would consist of Dottler, Dwebble, and a G-MAX-capable Butterfree. Also, fun fact- his name comes from the Old English word for "Beehive"!

[@DaWoblefet]

I have listened to so many covers of the SwSh Gym Leader Battle theme and this one FAR outstrips the others. It sticks to the main theme and doesn't try to use the dynamic variances that occur based on the state of battle. This allows it to be its own cover with its own personality while staying true to the source material - 0:51-0:58 always gets me as such an EPIC part of this cover. Love it.

[@Meringuesnake]

Having played the game, I wasn’t actually aware it changed- what are the changes it goes through?

[@DaWoblefet]

@@Meringuesnake the theme changes if either Dynamaxes and if either has a lead, or while you're waiting to switch in another Pokemon.

[@emmbeesea]

Pokémon battle music is practically metal in its composition. Sick as ever. \m/

[@dowfreak7]

Reminder that the drummer went fucking crazy in the elite four theme for gen 1/the gen1 remake. Just go back, listen to that track and tell me that's not metal.

[@sirweasleton8344]

The gym leader theme was already a banger in my opinion, now this..... this is just dope.

[@姓名-d3e]

ダンガンロンパのBOX16とか最終章辺りの捜査パート思い出す どちゃくそかっこよい……

[@raiffield4127]

Wow no matter how many Toxtricities try to play this, that was another level of epicness and incredible the next versions should have this theme for Gym Leaders

[@mark0367]

Me: there is no way this song can get better Richaad: Hold my Switch

[@domonicpoores1267]

That was just straight up badass guitar playing skills right there.

[@chrisbuttonshaw2088]

the original was already fun but THIS.... THIS IS EPIC!

[@pinkwings8036]

2/10 no crowd cheering when it’s dynamax time. Still incredible though.

[@TrewDomko]

im glad it didnt have it. thats the worst part of the theme tbh

[@bigbrungus]

It’s better without it.

[@booby3866]

@@TrewDomko you are not only wrong, but you're stupid as well

[@eggburger5978]

Trew Domko yep

[@Zorric]

Much better without the chanting

[@StickMaster500]

It’s going to be crazy to hear what the Elite Four and Champion Themes will sound like when Sword and Shield comes out

[@TheImmortalIvan]

And their subsequent metal covers :D

[@midasmagnezone4282]

don't forget the team boss theme :D

[@packsnbroncs]

None of these comments aged well. Lol

[@DRKLCNS1]

packsnbroncs i mean they're only slightly off

[@packsnbroncs]

@@DRKLCNS1 I was getting at the fact that there is no elite 4 or team yell leader. I know marnie's brother technically is the yell leader but he doesn't have his own theme. He's surprisingly quiet for a rockstar singer. Lol.

[@lunasam9]

Gen 1: melodrama Gen 2: japanese metal Gen 3: trumpets Gen 4: Piano Gen 5: Bass Gen 6: orchestral + lofi dubstep Gen 7: native island instruments + dj/club beats Gen 8: Trance + Party RichardAAB: *Everything metal*

[@Kryptfire]

Hey dude, as always, I love your videos. Have you ever considered a cover of the Venus Lighthouse theme from Golden Sun? It's one of my favourite dungeon themes of all time, and I'd love to hear your take on it!

[@インターネットやめろ-m7q]

かっちょいいいいい！！ ギター最高すぎるやろ！ 後ろのベースも気持ちいいな Awesome！！ Guitar sounds cool😆😆

[@_Taeik]

最高に好きです🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@pleasegibpats5554]

I want this in official soundtrack. If it won't happen, I'm switching files. This is freakin' EPIC

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

I remember hearing somewhere that each gym leader will have a different version of this battle theme. This version would be perfect for a steel-type gym leader battle!

[@尊さ100]

かっこいい……！！！

[@TehSymbiote]

I fucking LOVE the drums on this one! Go off!

[@奥村燐-k6e]

*YES, PERFECT, DON'T CHANGE IT !*

[@ehwick8175]

RichaadEB had to dynamax on us at the end. That’s O.P.

[@Shattered_Universe]

0:16 - when it’s time once again to s*%# on Bethesda, but you want to be metal while doing it.

[@視聴用アカウントあらき]

スパイクタウンかなここ アレンジとパフォーマンスが凄すぎてこれじゃない感はあるけど、これはこれでかっこいいので好き

RichaadEB used Metal Sound! It was super effective.

Nice one, too bad its not haft steel type tho

[@LucciClubStudios]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 they could of had the the dark gym leader who was a legit rockstar in the game have this theme

Attepmting to remix the gym leader's theme is like trying to reinvent the spoon. This is still really good.
