Varoom having hidden ability slow start is so crazy to me. It’s made to nerf regigigas and they randomly decide to give it to the car Pokémon. It’s like how truant can only be gotten by Slaking and DURANT for some unknown reason
@@praggodey I understand that’s the joke behind it, but it’s still dumb. A lot of ability’s on some Pokémon are just stupid tho, like Grimer not having liquid ooze despite it being a literal pile of liquid ooze
The dynamic between you two is absolutely peak. I was almost crying with laughter during the starter selection bit. Also killed me that you used Shady blowing his nose as the team picture haha. Amazing content as always
4:00 I had no idea how much this actually adds to the comedic dialogue in this part of the video 😅😅 5:25 this moment is even funnier, even though what Shady said was correct 😅😅😂😂😂 combo this with 9:00 that's Shady's best bit of the entire starter portion

@@australiananarchist480 Lokix is just genuinely a good pokemon. It's a pretty crazy revenge killer that's been a staple of gen 9 UU and even has niche uses in OU on very specific teams
@@brendanhart517 that makes it so that Abomasnow is protected from priority: Vivillion is not grounded so it can be hit by priority move. Being grounded affect whether you can be hit by them, not use them

Ya know it’s actually kinda cool how all these guys seem to just together and play Pokémon and share ideas and go on eachothers channels to work together to benefit all y’all’s channel and make some cash. Like well plaid.
A cool idea would be this setup but the lies you choose for your lie become that pokemons actual ability if theyre chosen. This could breed really good deception or severe misdirection
For those who don't know why leech life didn't affect the greninja. Prankster always goes first if the user uses a support move, but when the ability is used on a dark type, it doesn't affect it. So the leech life was a support move.
With lokix being my honest favorite new Pokémon, that hurt with them saying it was the worse choice, I get why but still, especially with it having tinted lens
So I have a request my man. Do the same picking game with abilities. To make it more interesting you have a random moveset based on type. If you can guess the pokemon by the ability you get to choose 1 of the moves
Hmmm... Vivilon wouldn't have been protected from Ice Shard if I understand terrain right. Since it's flying type, it's not grounded so the terrain doesn't affect it.
My man shady didn't respect that lokix was super effective against basically the whole team haha, and that regielecki should still outspeed a scarf delphox. it was still ggs either way!
6:06 why does they still point out it's male, I'm pretty sure female isnt even in the randomizer because all the time, there was never an female Indeedee.
bruh, isn't it about time yall learn basic pokemon mechanics? Abomasnow can absolutely ice shard that Vivillon any day of the week, i would expect the basic level to be clear after playing for over a decade 🤣
I’ve noticed shady has a habit of only lying on the last one and like tends to lie on the middle one… just a weird thing I noticed, probably only a hindsight thing
24:02 The most lucky but also extremely unlucky Metronome ever LMAO
Prankster dark should work normally like it's based on speed again
Varoom having hidden ability slow start is so crazy to me. It’s made to nerf regigigas and they randomly decide to give it to the car Pokémon. It’s like how truant can only be gotten by Slaking and DURANT for some unknown reason
it's ability isn't slow start after evolving and slow start is a pun
@@praggodeyOhhhh that’s good at least. I got the pun but I was like ‘but why would anyone want it on their mon??’
at least Durant can learn Entrainment
@@praggodey I understand that’s the joke behind it, but it’s still dumb. A lot of ability’s on some Pokémon are just stupid tho, like Grimer not having liquid ooze despite it being a literal pile of liquid ooze
It’s not that deep, besides, how often does Pokémon make sense with movesets and abilities?
The dynamic between you two is absolutely peak. I was almost crying with laughter during the starter selection bit. Also killed me that you used Shady blowing his nose as the team picture haha. Amazing content as always
😊q.❤
When you think you know Pokémon then you watch these and realize you know nothing

Funny thing is vivillon is a flying type so it’s not touching the psychic terrain so ice shard would have worked anyway
It worked out too because that Abomasnow had Triage which boosted the priority of its giga drain and that would’ve gotten blocked 🤓🤓🤓
That’s so funny. The flying type terrain interactions are always so tough to keep in mind
Wait you lied about Murkrow having Prankster? That's what it's known for though?
Maybe cause it’s a hidden ability? Idk I was confused too lol
He was lying about Honchkrow, which loses Prankster.
There's an explanation on the screen when this happens. They evolve the Pokemon, Honchkrow doesn't have Prankster.
yeah i accidentally searched honchkrow instead of murkrow, my bad
15:02 Monsoon counters its own ability with its typing; Psychic Terrain doesn't protect ungrounded mons from priority.
Shady:„Is this car on crack???😳“
Luke:„🗿yes“

5:25 this moment is even funnier, even though what Shady said was correct 😅😅😂😂😂 combo this with 9:00 that's Shady's best bit of the entire starter portion
Murkrow actually does get prankster as a hidden ability and was a meta pick in vgc thanks to prankster tailwind
I thought so lol
Prankster Haze was more important because of all the Iron Defenses going on
Reason being they only use fully evolved pokemon, and honchkrow doesn’t get prankster
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 fair, but Haze is just a counter to defensive bulk and set up teams.

@@inteleonarmy1838 Then Starly should have been a lie as well. Since Staraptor only gets Intimidate or Reckless
Making Shady's nose blowing shot his pic on the pokemon alignment was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that Shady was upset about his first pokemon being lokix and it ended up being strong against 5 of Luke's mons
I dont accept the lokix slander cause i had one in my squad and he was a beast
@@australiananarchist480 Lokix is just genuinely a good pokemon. It's a pretty crazy revenge killer that's been a staple of gen 9 UU and even has niche uses in OU on very specific teams
Yeah Lokix is insane. It’s chilling in UU in with Gen 9’s insane power creep putting former Ubers and legendaries at the same level or below
Goated bug fr
15:30 actually he could ice shard. the terrains only work for grounded pokemon and vivillon is a flying type
But the abomasnow is grounded and using it
@@brendanhart517 that makes it so that Abomasnow is protected from priority: Vivillion is not grounded so it can be hit by priority move. Being grounded affect whether you can be hit by them, not use them
Luke: "stop running away from me, face me"
Luke the last 4 turns: *parting shot*
Honestly, you 2 together might just be the best combo in this space
5:25 is an accurate comment section impression. Mad props to Shady, i was wheezing
I've been waiting for the Slow Start Varoom bait ever since I learned it can have that, and this did not disappoint!
"... But I'm A Liar"
Doesn't lie about the first pokemon. LMAO
love the content man
I'd like to see a Then We Fight But We Can't Switch Out, like you give everything Arena Trap or Shadow Tag, I'd like to see the strategies that come into play when you're not allowed to switch out
Technically murkrow having prankster wasn't a lie because that's its hidden ability
It'd be interesting to do one of these challenges for a double battle since that would require completely different strategies.
I like how you "lied" about murkrow's ability when it has it as a hidden ability, then told the truth about froakie's hidden ability...
18:45 Shady getting some Relient K vocals going. Solid tunes there
“STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN” 😂💀
Just so you know, Vivillon is flying, so ice shard would still hit it 15:15
yeah but psychic terrain cancels out priority moves, i.e. ice shard
@@bensmollett9931 Flying types and Pokemon who are levitating cancel this effect of terrain defensively
Fun fact: the only pokemon in scarlet and violet that get the ability lightning rod are the pikachu line
I think Zebstrika gets it too
what about Pincurchin?
@@Arg3tl4mnot in the game

16:19 The one quote that works in 2 universes
I hate to be that guy but “6:17 the clodsire was shiny” 🤓
Why were me and Shady blowing our noses in sync? And Luke wtf? 😂
Spoiler shield 🛡️
I laughed at the Shady profile pick during the Pokémon overview screens. Guess I have to like the video now
A cool idea would be this setup but the lies you choose for your lie become that pokemons actual ability if theyre chosen. This could breed really good deception or severe misdirection
That one video:We’re guessing pokemon off of their…
The next video:We’re guessing pokemon off of their… but we lie
For those who don't know why leech life didn't affect the greninja. Prankster always goes first if the user uses a support move, but when the ability is used on a dark type, it doesn't affect it. So the leech life was a support move.
Leech life is an attacking move. Metronome IS the status move. So whatever he rolled, it would always fail.
@@Friezaguy59 metronome works on dark type pokemon without prankster
Great video! The banter between you guys is worth the watch every time!
"IS THIS CAR ON CRACK?!?"
Luke:"Yes."
5:25 If I heard that the in the distance, I'd turn tail and run 😂
I'm sick too, Shady! Feel better soon! Really enjoyed this one.
when Luke sees the "moxie" ability pop up, he gets ptsd. lmao
It's so funny that he decided to mock viewer on the second shiny because that cufant was shiny 💀
Shady: I have no talent.
Drew: am I a joke to you?
Ayo murkrow does get prankster tho. And don’t say it doesn’t count bc it’s a hidden ability bc protean was greninja’s hidden ability too
11:40 Me when my classmates discuss their answers on the exam
With lokix being my honest favorite new Pokémon, that hurt with them saying it was the worse choice, I get why but still, especially with it having tinted lens
Wow the Pokemons this video are really different. That's nice and refreshing to see.
So I have a request my man. Do the same picking game with abilities. To make it more interesting you have a random moveset based on type. If you can guess the pokemon by the ability you get to choose 1 of the moves
first round, luke didn’t even lie, murkrow is known to have prankster
Luke'sRules coming in clutch this battle! Let's go!
4:04 Shady really said AMBATUBLOW
"Do I just lose here" said the dude that kept switching in and out on stealth rock. 😅
15:14 as monsoon once said: *_MEMES,the DNA of the soul!_*
"Does this car run on crack?"
HE. IS. SPEED
I would hazard a guess that Slow Start on Varoom is a reference/joke about diesel engines.
Loving the Relient K reference from Shady!
The fact that Luke got an entire “EMO” team (and obamasnow) is legit funny to me 😂
"Yes we do, but at what cost." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your editors are hilarious.
aw man, a flying car?! Missed opportunity to name it Chitty Chitty lmao
I appreciated Shady's Relient K reference at 18:41 haha
Video idea if you havent done this already: randomized pokemon but you only know the randomized ability
psyhic surge doesnt matter cos it only applies to grounded pokemon
9:02 Shady channels his inner Skull Kid.
Luke was totally in control until rocks got put up
Funniest part is that vivillon doesn’t actually get protected by the terrain because it’s flying
Dude got so screwed by a split second decision not to tera
I love the chemistry between Shady and Luke
Randomised movesets could be really fun for a video or 3.
I want to see more of these but at some point using the strat of lying by saying the same ability twice.
Hmmm... Vivilon wouldn't have been protected from Ice Shard if I understand terrain right. Since it's flying type, it's not grounded so the terrain doesn't affect it.
My man shady didn't respect that lokix was super effective against basically the whole team haha, and that regielecki should still outspeed a scarf delphox. it was still ggs either way!
Shady and the shinies: hilarious.
Não tem jeito, eu sempre acabo torcendo pelo Luke
Shady singing Relient K made my day 😂
Almost every time rotom appears, it isn't when luke gets to choose!
That was such a great match, well done both of you.
Me crying because Lokix is really good in comp and is also a cool pokemon just automatically.
What a battle! That was awesome guys! And Shady! I caught that Relient K reference! You have excellent taste in music my dude!
This, but for 1 round you lie about all 3 to add some extra spiciness
"Jesus Christ it's ShadyPenguinn" instead of Jason Bourn lmao
15:43 maybe one could say he's a master at it?
This dude has the weirdest pronunciation of Zoroark
MURKROW GETS PRANKSTER? so the first one u didn't lie
6:06 why does they still point out it's male, I'm pretty sure female isnt even in the randomizer because all the time, there was never an female Indeedee.
Lmaooo rewatching this and damn, sick shady was on one 🤣🤣
That ending was fantastic
bruh, isn't it about time yall learn basic pokemon mechanics? Abomasnow can absolutely ice shard that Vivillon any day of the week, i would expect the basic level to be clear after playing for over a decade 🤣
Great video guys. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personalities
I’d say even without Tinted Lens Lokix is better than Honchkrow imo
Ok thats kinda messed up. Metronome really should be an exception to the prankster rule
Shady, extremely wild performance dude
I think that cufant was shiny 2.
I’ve noticed shady has a habit of only lying on the last one and like tends to lie on the middle one… just a weird thing I noticed, probably only a hindsight thing
2:25 NOT THE PIGEON OTOME GAME
The sponsor part of the video... 😥 Mona Lisa, put those grippers away!!
That’s nuts, what a finish
The editor did Shady dirty, every time he got a mon his picture changed to his blowing his nose.
Silver lining, Luke. That ending was still content. XD
Great vid as always my guy. When will people remember tails never fails
ive been using Opera for a long time, its amazing
Prankster not being able to effect dark types is really dumb imo, especially since nothing in the games tell you
