You should add a twist of if 1 of you make a mistake they have to spin some sort of punishment wheel (like some sort of nerf to the pokemon of that video) bc 1 itd be fun and 2 chances are shady will mess something up at some point too

Haha, I thought the same thing and I see you down here. Easy to mess up, funny though.

[@HeyitzGary89]

Should be a dq for Dylan as the slowking wouldn’t of lived those crunches

[@DadsBeingDudes]

So the baxcalibur was actually built in defense for stamina not attack and the slowbro was bold 252 hp and 252 def. Slowking would have taken more damage but still lived the crunch! Hope this helps 👍🏼

@@jaydog77 Eviolite goes off total Def not base Def, it would be more like 57 to 85 and stat boost work the same way. Blissey with base 10 Def has 62 total Def, Chansey is always tankier than Blissey is, the main reason you run Bliss is to not run Eviolite or if you want to use damaging moves, otherwise Chancey is better at stalling.

7:30 Why don't take Houndoom with a water immunity? He's a good boy, and this ability is really good for him ^^

That was my thought too! It's not an insane mon, but getting rid of a weakness is huge!

[@mirayzie]

Yeah I wondered why he didn’t, it felt like it it’d be more useful, plus I feel like you’re less likely to hit a water type with a water move then an fire

Probably because he already had Ceruledge so he wanted type diversity

When Shady sent the Kleavor out in game 3 I was so sad because that was the exact same thing that happened game 1. I was shook when multiscale didn't save him the first time. Also rock slide was still stab, you don't lose your base stab when you Tera.

[@MrJarik1]

Yeah but I did a quick calc out of curiosity because I could not believe it killed that first time and if Dylan is jolly which I would expect on a dragon dance set, the damage roll for +1 guts ttar rock slide on full hp multiscale kleavor is 86.4 - 101.7%... So I really hope Dylan was adamant and had 95 - 112% as a roll otherwise Shady got otherworldly unlucky again to be ohko'ed by it twice

[@smartguy4149]

Well remember the first time shady close combatted so his defense was minus 1. That’s why it was was still a good play for him to swap into it that last battle cause it might live when it’s not at minus 1

[@RustyRed2804]

I immediately clocked onto the fact that Shady's camera was flipped, that's really jarring lol. Great video though, keep up the great content!

@@fatukchicken have you ever tried to nuzlocke any of the rom-hacks? They are a BIG step up in difficulty then the vanilla pokemon games.

[@jaredrparkinson]

Here's a battle idea: you both pick your pokemon (using whatever method) and build them how you want. Then battle. After the first battle the person that lost then gets to rework one of their pokemon (change stat spread, moves, items, etc). First to win two battles wins

[@sousaphonist]

OK, I've got a wild Then We Fight gimmick idea. Your opponent looks at your randomized starter pokemon, reacts, you get to ask one question, and then you blindly pick a pokemon and name a move and ability you want to give it. Without revealing what Pokémon it is, your opponent checks if your choice naturally gets that move or ability. If it does, they say "Try Again" and you must change at least one of those options (Pokémon, move, or ability). Once you've selected a pokemon that does not naturally get the move and ability you want, only then is it revealed and you give it that move and ability.

[@noluvanklez6598]

Great idea. Choose a starter prior to spinning the wheel. So you can choose a great mon but could randomly get a bad ability

[@JayStarNoodle]

Shadow tag dondozo coming in on a physical attacker, cursing and resting is a scary idea and i kinda wish i saw that over ceruledge

[@Gnetc]

​​@@NotSnak It actually can survive physical hits from a lot of attackers, solely because of that massive hp. You gotta remember that hp is probably the best, defensive stat there is, and you always invest in hp for bulky mons over the weaker defensive stat. If it's not super effective or a crazy attacker, blissey won't take more than 40-50% from a lot of moves. And that's just about perfect with recovery.....Then the stamina comes in. 😂 So it would be viable, you just have to predict those physical hits you can tank. Edit: Like fake out, any priority that's not fighting basically. Foul play (blisseys awful attack stat will come clutch there) And a lot of crucial moves like that, it will be the perfect switch in with stamina.
