[@Stocious5502]

I am going to try and download it later on my pc!!!!

[@P108A]

no

[@storymaster21]

In my latest Pokemon Unbound playthrough I ended up w/ an exploding shadow tag Ferrothorn and a perish song Pachirisu. This combo is definitely diabolical.

[@King_of_Faerghus]

Im sorry to hear that these videos aren't doing as well as the "Then We Fight" videos. I'm personally loving these as they are more relatable than either Wolfey or Pokeaims' (still love both of them, they just sometimes leave my smol braind behind when they talk lol) Anyways keep up the great content I will always be here to throw in a like!

[@huskypops3341]

Agreed I love these videos and find them so helpful!

[@mr_chicken_3578]

I follow up on that and agree. Always here to like and watch the WHOLE video because I love every part of it.

[@calebcox3827]

Right I’ve been watching every single one of these like it’s actually sports lol

[@AdminAbuse]

Wolfe rarely uploads videos like this one nowadays tho, can't really compare that imo

[@SkiveWalkerYT]

Wolfs a cheater anyways. Trash

[@TylerW44]

Sorry to hear these are doing rough views-wise. I personally look forward to these, they are highlights of my time on KZbin.

[@nolanmartin6422]

If it means anything. I personally enjoy these videos more than the "then we fight videos." Those videos are fun, but I have been enjoying this content more. Especially since it's from you. Keep up the good work, Shady. I always enjoy watching your content. Thank you for everything you do.

[@jessin1162]

Same here! Shady looks so genuinely excited about pokemon doing these

[@Korafoya]

Dude that first battle was RIDONCULOUS!!!! I can’t believe you won that!! You totally earned that win my dude.

[@taquaywhite4503]

That first team might be the most toxic thing I have ever seen. Especially when they missed sing and followed with hypnosis 😭😭

[@scrubbynubbydoo]

Really love these competitive team battles. Brings back so much nostalgia.

[@BlackBoyLost92]

I'm just glad that you've found joy doing these again. I remember when you were burned out so having you back is incredible.

[@Novazite115]

These videos are by far some of the absolute best content on KZbin and I know I’m not alone when I say that I love every minute of them and look forward to every new video you put out. These might not do as well as the “then we fight” videos but us who watch these enjoy every every second of them. Keep up the amazing work you absolute king! 🎉

[@michaelburris7258]

I'm sorry these videos don't do as well views wise, but I absolutely love them! It helps me a ton with my own battles, as well. Great fun as always!

[@makezu0093]

Im sad to hear these videos dont get more views. Your presentation of competitive pokemon has become my favorite of all poketuber content.

[@PequenoGohre]

I'm so glad shady is still doing wifi battles. Back in xy is when I first discovered him and he inspired me to get into competitive play as a kid.

[@tararosabelle7368]

Same!

[@VforVenlee]

These are some of the most interesting videos in the poke world to me right now. I don't play competitive or even watch usually but the way you explain the teams and how the games go its mesmerizing to me

[@showingstar22]

It makes me sad to hear these videos don’t do as well. I personally love these videos and look forward to them and prefer them to the others. I’m to scared to play competitive as I just don’t have the knowledge but I live through you playing competitively props as well for being able to make me understand what your doing too ! Keep up the hard work ❤

[@keegan9132]

i’m genuinely so happy to see wifi battles. i’ve been watching since the two wifi battles daily,,, and these videos have kept me company for years. 💜💜💜

[@slyten6743]

I hope your competive battle videos start picking up more traction because you give a refreshing air of fun to the community. I've been getting back into competitive battles because of you. UU on showdown is my place of choice.

[@loudwhispre9406]

I absolutely love your VGC content, and I especially loved that first game! I was on the edge of my seat for it. And please don't forget to do what you love with your channel. The real fans will see your passion for your content as long as you're having fun. Please don't feel bad for doing something if all your fans aren't about it.

[@dylanramos7691]

I actually love these videos and very much look forward to them, sad to hear they're not getting the views that are expected but I hope you continue doing them!

[@toodlesX14]

Super super happy to have Road to Ranked back, every one of these videos is a joy to watch.

[@jz13_]

Great video, Shady! You asked in the team overview if there are any other terrain setters in series 1, and in fact there are: Arboliva has Seed Sower which allows it to set grassy terrain when it's hit with a damaging move, and Pincurchin gets Electric Surge (which is of interest given the rules for Series 2 that were just announced). There's also the move ice spinner which removes terrain if it connects, and then of course defog but I've never seen that in VGC

[@911911911tom]

I'm so glad you're enjoying competitive pokemon again! It reminds me of road to ranked back in 2014! I can't believe I've been subbed for 10 years now I'm thinking about it, a freaking decade lol. Still love ya Shady

[@aidandavies5982]

As usual another great video! I know they may not be as popular as the “then we fight” vids but as someone who’s trying to learn competitive Pokémon I absolutely love these videos. Shady is also a super entertaining commentator for these, which makes the learning experience even more enjoyable!

[@xavierjordaan2366]

Thanks for this Shady. Just getting into double battles and these videos help a lot. Please keep it up. This is really chill.

[@Godigentil97]

These videos deserve more recognition, they are so hype!

[@Shadow-xj8ou]

Persistence is the key!! Thanks for playing it, I have been really enjoying the series!

[@cristianofernandes8156]

Yes, these are back, and that first battle is why I love these videos! So much fun watching it.

[@mariyannuisboss]

Writing my master thesis at the moment and these videos keep me sane! I don’t play vgc but it’s just so enjoyable to watch you try out teams

[@dent5672]

Same! Not thesis but final semester

[@noelflores8155]

Commentary and humor alone make these battles amazing, and I'm not even talking about your strats and come-from-behind wins

[@donaldelliott5823]

Liked and commenting to keep these competitive videos going!! These are way more fun than the “then we fight” videos

[@James.Hill.]

Love multi-mode teams. It gives you so many options to counter your opponent. Their team super fast? Set-up trick room. Bad against weather? Make it snow and has Cetitan go to work

[@YourDailyDOHs95]

Loving the VGC content recently! You seem to be enjoying it too, which is great to see :) Keep it up! Happy New Year , Shady. Hope 2023 is good to you and the family

[@davidross623]

Feel like the OG X and Y days. Keep them coming Shady!!! Love these types of videos

[@JasonMurak]

I’ve watched every single one of this series so far! You’re super relatable and fun to watch battle. Maybe you can find time to do both to appease all the viewers 😂

[@tev9827]

How are these videos not doing as well? They are freaking fantastic! I love shadys energy so much keep it up!

[@tylerevans8955]

Love the competitive games shady! So glad your bringing these back thank you!

[@tommygilfert]

Thank you for keeping these coming despite anything with performance Shady. They are always a great watch for me.

[@VelocityGmz]

I’m surprised views are low these were always so amazing and still are back in X-Y and everything, don’t worry Shady these always have my support I just love road to ranked ❤

[@TitaniumCrane]

It's a bummer that these don't do as well as the "Then We Fight''s, because I love these battles. I do miss singles but I'm glad you're loving VGC so much. I want to see you use a Houndstone team.

[@dawsonburns3933]

I love these competitive videos thank you for being a enjoyable KZbinr

[@jessicachen5019]

Happy new year! Love to see that you're still enjoying the competitive videos (at least I hope so) :) thanks for the video!

[@MagykWes]

It's a shame these videos are lower viewed than others. I get extremely excited and look forward to these videos from Shady! Keep up the great work my dude!

[@christopherjohnson6863]

Honestly man these videos are perfect for when I'm working, I can zone out and get things done for an hr and it makes it go by better.

[@dank16]

That game 1 was so hype to watch! Opponent's strat is super tough to play against if you are not expecting it

[@tararosabelle7368]

Don’t know if this means anything- but I’ve always enjoyed these types of videos more than the then we fight ones. These type of competitive Pokémon videos are actually what got me to start watching your entire channel in general. I love all the energy you put into these videos. I always look forward to them since they bring back nostalgia and remind me of the good ol days.

[@yunchen469]

I'm sorry to hear that the videos are not doing so well :( I enjoy them very much! I never miss one and I always press the like button!! I watch them with all of my attention because they teach me a lot of things and they make me laugh out loud too!!! I think you are very relatable and very entertaining. I especially like how you explain all your thought process - like the teams, the moves you are going to use, your predictions and so on. And your reactions too, I find them very human and very likeable. Anyways, whatever the outcome, thank you for all the hard work! Wishing you all the best from Spain :)

[@UmbralDawn]

I love these videos so much so I’m bummed to hear they don’t perform as well. I love how long they are too btw. I look forward to watching them while I take my dog for a walk every night after work. I hope you continue making them

[@flosby5605]

I love this kind of videos. Sadly youtube doesent represent my type of watchers i guess. Keep up the good work.

[@julesg.r.144]

Thanks for making these videos! I really enjoy them, even though I’m not really into competitive Pokémon. And I think I’ll never really get into it, since it’s got so many different options & choices to be made. However, I really think you do a great job in trying to explain the choices you make & that makes these videos highly entertaining! Just know - and I don’t know if people agree with me - that you can never explain too much. It’s really nice to hear your thought process, especially because I don’t really have the knowledge about the game. Keep up the amazing work my man! Much love from the Netherlands ❤️

[@jschuring1]

Been loving these videos ever since you popped off Shady, and they work because of you and your personality and 'mistakes' when reading the items and moves etc. XD

[@0fthesoulm623]

Love that road to ranked is back, it was fire 7 years ago, l love you stay true to yourself shady!

[@breaunlivingston4079]

@shadypenguinn heard you mention that these don’t do as well as “and then we fight”, but these is top tier content! Thank you!

[@EamonnZollars]

Loving the ranked battles, “then we fight” was fun, but this is has that classic feel for the long time fans

[@Weavileiscool]

4:11 There’s Pincurchin but it’s bad.

[@rondoerflinger5749]

I been watching you for a very long time and it's always nice seeing your videos get around 50k views again on a daily basis. Always have you on for comfort videos

[@0ne239]

Been watching shady for years. By far my favorite Poketuber. People willl hear about shady in the future. And his videos will finally get the recognition they deserve. Keep at it shady

[@MochiPanda29]

Hope your back feels better soon Shady

[@Fireshot844]

Hey, it’s worth noting Defiant is +2 per drop. So your Ape went to +3 because it still went to -1 with the Parting Shot in the Sylveon-Grimm game. Separately, I love seeing this. This is one of the series I would binge during Sun and Moon days when I wasn’t involved with VGC. So this is both a throwback and one of my favorite forms of content from you. I look forward to seeing more of this and best of luck on the climb. I managed to make Master Ball for season 2 as well with a rain team.

[@volugthebeast]

Sorry to hear these battles aren't doing as well view wise! I enjoy having them on in the background while I'm doing stuff! Love hanging out with you while you rage lol

[@cli1106]

I loved the then we battle vids but got really burnt out with them and after a certain point only watched ones with you involved. Been really interested in the competitive scene with Aaron and wolfey’s vids so needless to say I love these videos. Keep it up shady!

[@ranveeruppal9062]

I would scream if Shady played The Weight of Life from Xenoblade 3 for battle music

[@Sxdeways]

I'm really enjoying these videos Shady, please keep them coming.

[@GoldenChild2023]

Hey shady, glad your back into competitive mon again . Glad your making videos like this . These type of bideos is what made me watch you . Awesome man . Thank you for making videos like this once again

[@ARoman17]

Hey shady keep up the good work with this vids. I personally enjoy these type vids a lot and hope that you could post these videos more often.

[@Justinfrost12]

Enjoying these videos! Started watching you play VGC back in the day it’s been nice to watch again. I don’t currently have a switch so I don’t play but really been enjoying these videos.

[@Bj-vd2tp]

I love your battle videos. I never watch it in one go but always in parts. One battle at a time thoughout the day, it's so good.

[@mr_limp_pickle5475]

I’m really loving these vids!!!!! I found your channel with VGC, and these are bringing back so much nostalgia.

[@EclipseGrimoire0]

Happy New Year, Shady! I personally look forward to these videos (watching this one rn during my lunch break at work). No matter what, keep up the great work. Keep it Shady!

[@dominicpontin1869]

My dude... I am loving the FF XIII soundtrack in the back of your vids recently. Such a good soundtrack... Great video in general too man.

[@BEARNakedGaming]

I genuinely love your wifi battles. They are so entertaining and fun to watch.

[@yzyFCBsocio69]

Yes more battles I barely got violet so these videos really help for the soon Wi-Fi battles imma have! Shady taught me

[@tycascone6415]

Love the competitive vids Shady. They’re the highlight of my week. Keep it Shady 😎

[@olssonvgc8513]

Shady please keep going with this content! ur the reason i Started playing any pokemon game!

[@Flannel_Pops]

Love this content! I hope it picks up more. Do you ever livestream your battles for “road to ranked”?

[@bryanttellez9007]

These series is what makes my day I’m tryna get like u shady don’t stop making these videos they make my day fr

[@MontyMonferno]

these uploads are always the highlight of my day !! (btw just so you know shady, unaware makes Dondozo ignore positive AND negative stat changes on the opponent, so you don’t have to worry about neg attack stats when fighting it ^^)

[@Callm3Sleeves]

“……by a scrubby penguin…” 🤣🤣🤣 Well played on thag first game Shady! I can’t believe they fumbled that soooooooo hard😎

[@SCtrojans4413]

Shady I love these videos. I come on KZbin just to watch them. I’ve always enjoyed your commentary and the explanations as you go

[@TheDragonaf1]

That game 1 recovery man just (more or less) pulled off a 2 v 4.

[@theKingLuma]

Personally these are some of my favourite videos for a while. Keep it up Shady!

[@M6twelve]

Annhiliape MVP also we all love road to ranked, I wish the algorithm would push it out to more people, but all the Shady people love it! Keep grinding

[@NRoyalX]

I've spent a lot of time over the last few days building a few teams, including a pretty strong Trick Room Team: HDDGXG. Farigiraf is the Main Trick Room Setter, Kingambit and Hariyama also work without Trick Room. Feel free to give it a try, feedback is welcome.

[@tbone6032]

Have you thought about joining Wolfey’s tournament? Still a spot left for a KZbinr and it seems like a great fit

[@garyabdullah6966]

I stopped playing after deployment in 2012 with X&Y.. I've been missing Shady P's road to rank for quite some time. Glad to be back watching you, my guy. (hits subscribe again)

[@supersmashmouth3288]

Love your video’s! I’m just glad you’re enjoying the content you’re putting out rather than making content you don’t enjoy. Keep it up!!

[@b.raines5302]

Literally love watching you play VGC both here on YT and over on Twitch

[@hinaru77]

Happy new Year Shady. I been rewatching your videos and I am thankful for these videos. I love them to death. Congratulations on that first win with this team. Hope your family doing well. Please take care of yourself. If you do put another video up, can I request Music from the game Mad Rat Dead.

[@zanyludicolo]

Hi Shady! I'm sad to hear these aren't garnering more views, personally I love tuning into these videos

[@rorymcmanus852]

That first battle though what a reverse Competitiveness battles are insane love these videos

[@MrNobleSix]

This is legit my favourite series on youtube atm. Ive said it many times but I'll always support these vgc vids Shady! Edit: my goodness that 1st battle

[@donnieg3351]

These videos are great. I liked the Then we Fight videos but I love these road to ranked. Brings me back to the old school shady. Back when we had two videos a day coming your way that's what I say!!!!

[@Drobbins2012]

Man, I’m loving this VGC content! Keep them coming!

[@fergusaur_7306]

I love your competitive Pokémon videos, pls keep them coming!

[@serabi_]

Pincurchin is a slow terrain pokemon so indeedee vs pincurchin means psychic terrain gets turned off

[@elliotwilber857]

Watching this makes me want to jump into battles, thank you shady

[@teakwondoughnut]

Been loving these battles keep up the road to ranked shady 💜

[@pokefan9194]

37:51 I was screaming tailwind. Tailwind + drain punch into hydriegon is a guaranteed win

[@Cursed394]

Personally love these videos whenever they come up - i see then we fight content as basic background noise/"oh look i have content" - whereas these i always make aure i take the time to pay attention and enjoy the ride 😁 Would love to see more weather teams like sand or sun although i guess thats less competetive - ive had fun with trick room torkoal plus chlorophyll scovillain to give that mix of speed and slow 😁

[@MazCat]

had this on in the background but HELLO?? yu gi oh duellist of the roses music is imprinted into my soul??? amazing background choice lol

[@julianjackson8031]

That first win against the perish song team felt so good to watch, keep it up Shady

[@Zora4090]

Great videos. Love the content. Keep up the great work! This is probably my least favorite team to play with lol. At least right now. Most games you're at a disadvantage even though this did win a tournament. If you prep even a decent amount towards either of these combos it's over.
