Isn’t sina the ice type?

Can you play Monster Hunter Stories 2?
i only got here early because i turned on full notifications.
the Delibird reaction was everything 😭
UA-cam!
Holy shi-
Here before this comment blows up because it is literally UA-cam themselves
Omfg it’s UA-cam
What!???!?????
It’s you UA-cam
Mikey: *Worries about getting all sweaty in the volcano area*
Also Mikey: *Is literally in Hawaii*
Rly I thought he was in Texas
He means the region as a whole is basically Hawaii, but Mikey does live in texas
@@beautifulworld0109 Ohhhh
@@nagitokomaeda4316 r/wooosh
ok
The slight pain in Mikey's voice when he called Crabominable beautiful says it all about this run.
It’s beautiful in a “It’s about my mentality” kind of way
"Add it to your collection, Lusamine!"
That's cold, dude.
Let's be honest here:
The ONLY reason Mikey did this challenge was for that cool scarf flip in the intro 😂
And to say hail yeah
@@pedromouragoncalves7983 True! 😆
Did you just make an snow pun?
Cuz you said 'cool' scarf flip. Yeah no my humor is bad
@@danooby8960 I didn't even peep that at first. 🥇
@@Victinifan13 to what?
Between complimenting Smoochum, Delibird, and Crabominable, as well as commending Lusamine for her frozen Pokémon “collection”, I can tell Michael really had to bite his tongue for the role of this playthrough lmao.
Is Crabominable that bad? I've never used one, but for some reason I thought it was a lot better than Smoochum and *shudder* Delibird.
I mean, that Smoochum did have her moments where she came in clutch.
@@jorvach9874 A lot of people hate Crabominable because of its design. That's pretty much it. To be fair, it doesn't look very good, but I've seen worse.
@@r4nd0mguy99
Yeah that seems to be the primary reason, I don’t even think it’s that bad (there are worse Pokémon out there, both design and battle wise), but I don’t know many people who actually like it at all.
@@jorvach9874 I like Crambomianle, its literally a Yeti crab, bit goofy yes but not that bad.
Nobody:
Literally Nobody:
Ice Mikey: After 4:00 pm the ocean turns into *F A N T A*
Between having multiple consecutive losses, regularly changing the team composition, and not getting to use Z-moves until the literal endgame, I think it's safe to say that the Unova Bug Catcher playthrough is no longer Mikey's least favorite team. Shame, since the Ice-type gets enough flak as it is, but what can you do?
Tbh I think Mikey likes the challenge
Yeah the ice run was terrible, he lost so many battles
@@magicalhikari5859
No he doesn't he has stated many times he does not like tough battles
I think from the team recap video that's not the case. I kinda get it I think, since at least the ice one started hitting it's stride in the second half of the playthrough whereas bug struggled throughout.
As a dragon type trainer, I should be furious about this. But I cannot deny that Ice is such an underrated type that I think it deserves such a playtrough. (Plus Kyurem exists, proving that Dragon and Ice can coexist)
@@maley2552 agreed
I scared as a grass trainer
Aww
Agreed and I'm a Fire and Ghost duel type Gym leader! Sure Ice is underrated but there are so many Good ice Types out there Including Zen Mode Galarian Darmanitan! ^~^
As a grass type trainer is video was very "chilling" experience
"Add it to your collection, Lusamine!"
That was unexpectedly savage.
It was...cold of him to say that
What about an only Poison Types run? That could provide for an interesting personality.
He’d just get very toxic
He should do it in gen 9 poison run so he can use the best poison type: Clodsire!
@@JustinBingman Clodsire, Grafaiai, Iron Moth (Violet only), Glimmora, and Revavroom are literally the only new additions to the Poison-Type line up. But Clodsire eats the E4 for breakfast.
@@matthewgallaway3675He's just male Klara.
15:33 the epic training montage was great. Definitely one of the best parts.
Grunty Boy’s confusion turning to “Ah, I see you’re doing one of these” and immediate understanding of how to get Mikey’s attention is pretty funny.
They know each others quirks
Who wants him to do a Sword/Shield run with Electric types as the Electric gym leader?
Edit: Damn, thanks for the likes, and my comment aged well lol
that would be really good
Yes!
Guys, here is the Horror content 😱😱😱😱 you will like it ↖️...
@@R.MaxumOff shut up bot
It would be cool
The fact that he knows the Z move dance so well is terrifying and glorious at the same time Hail Yeah to ice
The Ice type is my favorite, and I always thought it was weird that Alola had a Type specialist for every type EXCPT ICE!
Makes sense, Tropical island, blah blah blah...
But STILL! I would absolutely be the ICE specialist! I don't like hot weather anyway, i'd live on Mount Lanakia, Snow is awesome!
The thing is, you _do_ face off with Sina in Moon/Ultra Moon, and she _is_ an Ice-type specialist.
Man, now I wanna see one of these done with only Normal-Types and it’s either the most mind-numbingly boring character playing, or somebody who’s absolutely insane but convinced that they’re completely normal.
That's...an great idea
He uses psychopath method where he seems like some normal dude, but as it goes on, he becomes steadily more unhinged.
Honestly, I want to see mikey acting crazy while convincing himself that hes normal
@@phantomnite so basically every character playthrough he does
@@magellan6439 yeah, but it would be whole joke. Hes Insane but hes using normal pokemon while saying hes just a normal guy
"Add it to your collection, Lusamine!" That cracked me up.
As someone who specializes in ice types themselves I'm glad to have seen this. Though have to say my Ice type team I ran through Alola was a bit similar to yours my only difference was instead of Lapras I had a Glaceon
This video taught me an important lesson about a Pokémon of my third favorite type, and that is to never let Dewgong use a physical move.
I’d love to see a monotype run where you’re dressed up as Mr. Crocker from fairly odd parents and obsessed with catching all the “faiRy GoD pAReNts” (fairy types) in like X and Y or Alola again

Yes let us all vote for it!!!!!
yes yes and triple yes
Nah. But only because I like my Pokemon to just be Pkmn and would hate a crossover. But you do you.
@@SirRainbowSkychild fair enough
@6:34 the Watchmojo gag had me dying 😂

Omg the best

Yeah that's to funny XD 🤣
I could feel the nostalgia from when I watched that a lot
That training montage deserves a "hail yeah!"
Appreciation comment for Katie the editor. The editing on these videos are actually incredibly and so enjoyable, thank you for being so great.
Genuinely surprised you didn’t buy the Aurora Veil TM for your Ninetales. It had snow warning so it would’ve been free double defense at all times.
That would've been too easy 😂

Michael:I’ve never seen a Pokémon this beautiful
Lockstin:Are you sure about that
Started off slow and got more powerful quickly near the end. I guess you could say, this team snowballed pretty hard

God i love these videos from Michael so, so much. They really are a treat from beginning to end.
Crimas
Couldnt have said it better💪🔥
This may be the worst run he's ever had, Man Ice isn't a good type
Yes dude
@@RodimusMinor1987 ice is a good type it’s just that every game is different.
15:01 Michael is letting his inner Paul out.
As an ice-type lover, this video was much appreciated.
Man, even for a tropical region, Alola really mistreated the ice type
Ninetales and sandslash?
@@therealevilmudbug Those are two pokemon, and they don't make up for the sh*t ice types went through in Alola
@@aventurasdemais8261 ok fair enough but they are still very good
@@therealevilmudbug Now that is something I can agree with
They made two amazing Ice-Types, and *didn't utilize them?!*
*WHY?!*
When Michael in-character complimented Smoochum and Delibird, it gets the genuine chuckle out of me. But when he complimented Crabominable, I was diying from laughter
28:18: now this is absolutely epic, and hilarious at the same time.
To be honest, it's also the Z-Crystal that made him livid because during his Moon Wonderlocke, Velursi died after failing to KO Hau's Decidueye with Subzero Slammer and then got OHKO'd by Decidueye's Bloom Doom
4:43 nooo... frozen with lava
Me early in the video: Oh, cool, he's using a Seel, he'll actually have a Dewgong on his team for the entire playthrough! Maybe he'll gain some newfound respect for Dewgong as a species from this!
Me after Mikey catches Vulpix, Swinub, and Snorunt: We're never seeing Blubba again, are we.
9:00 now im curious what about TEAM SKY try conquering the skies of alola? kina they can make a second base in poni island since there no kahunas (except the ice kahuna if gonna mix universes and the little girl)
I love doing these mono type runs in games. makes some battles that much harder, but always worth it when you overcome the challenge.
Gotta love how Mikey's first "ice type" is actually one that is super effective against ice
Grunty boi needs his own channel where he just does random everyday things in character lol. Also you may resist Araquanids bubble but it's ability water bubble doubles the damage of it's water moves so it's technically doing full damage to you.
And it was also raining which also further boosted Totem Araquanid's water moves!
Team sky should have it's own channel
the subsitute doll is the most superior ice type specialist tbh
Fun fact: my first ever shiny was a crabwraller (idk how to spell it XD) but I didn’t realise for years lol, then I finally got around to evolving it, and I rlly like the shiny
Crabrawler.
@@blizzardforonline1954 ah thx!
Can't wait for Team Sky in Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar
Imagine when he will see Skyla and Tornadus, a gym leader and a literally GOD of the sky
I want to see team sky in Hisui, that would be really cool
@@iambabyyoda5522 just for the flying Gyarados alone would be worth it.
And then what every the gen 9 region is called
Staraptor would be INSANE
1:33 technically you don’t become the kahuna of poni island, you do something even cooler (pun intended). You become the first ever champion of the region and climb the one ICE location in the game, Mount Lanakila. This is where you find most of the regional ice types, including in tapu village at the foot, the Icium Z crystal, get the TM for Ice Beam AND you literally get a throne on the top of the huge ice mountain overlooking your domain of Alola. The game literally tells you you are meant to be the ice type specialist, the best trainer in alola.
Plus, if you wanted to become Kahuna of Ula Ula, Nanu seems like he wants to retire. And you could make friends with mimikyu down the mountain at the ghost trial.
Thank you for coming to my Ice Type Alola Ted Talk.
FYI did this run in Pokémon moon where there’s like 15 available Pokémon and it was a blast. I including island scans cuz is more fun that way.
What an epic observation. This just makes me appreciate this challenge even more.
8:25 lol!
As someone who's favorite type genuinely is Ice... thank you. I know they suck in fights but it's nice to see them succeed somewhere. At least.
This is also why my Alolan champion uses ice types. Glace the Sandslash, Aurora the Ninetales, Chill the Lapras, Blizz the Froslass, Winter the Weavile, and Frost the Abomasnow.
Great names I always forget

@@thepokefoo5239 gayman18
Omg same! Back in the days, I went back to go through the elite four just so I could use an alona Sandslash as a key part of my team: I was so sad when I found out, in the first playthrough, that you couldn't get Sandshrew until the late game
Cool namens my guy
I love how Michael stays in character all the time. Makes these videos so entertaining to watch.
And he completely ignores Grunty Boi
He even stays in character when complimenting Crabominable's appearance, that's called dedication
He gets into deep character with these kinds of videos. It makes it a lot more entertaining to watch.
I am still trying to figure out this character what is he cold hearted Ice user
This challenge was such a breath of fresh air. Mikey knew the trouble of doing an all Ice Type team and pulled through to the end. Way to show some respect for one of the toughest types to use as it's considered the worst type in the whole game.
Worst type outright? I'd honestly still give that to Bug as you've got actual offensive potential with Ice.
@@gengarzilla1685 he forgot to check in with wolfey tbh
No to only thank but ice types are the rarest of all the types so it's difficult to build a diverse team
28:31 this is no ordinary laugh, this is the laugh of ultimate joy, after going through insanity and back.
I used a Crabrawler on my first ever playthrough team in alola, and did not know that it even evolved. I only found out that it evolved into its next form when I was about the fight the Pokémon league
In Sun and Moon it only evolves in Mount Lanakila I'm pretty sure, they changed it in USUM
It still evolves at Mount Lanakila in USUM, but you can access part of it on your first visit to Ulaula Island now. No more waiting until right before the league challenge.
“LOOK AT MY SCARF! MY…women’s scarf” -Mickey
6:35 I've seen this meme written out before, but never the full audio line. It absolutely sent me.
As a BIG lover of the Ice type, I was actually considering doing this myself. But I never had the time to do it, so thanks Mikey. Thank you for doing what I have wanted for a long time
@wnnalis cioov Hail yeah!!! indeed
I ran only ice types in Shield and it was a ton of fun. All future playthroughs will be spent as a "specialist". I'm thinking grass for Scarlet
@@calebhayes7691 I support it. Keep it up!
I love the ice type, steel type, and poison. I always love using ice types in playthroughs. It’s great offensively!
@@waybisplayz7301 It's great offensively but sadly not that good defensively. It only resists itself
I actually really like Ice types (I once swept 2 elite 4 members with my Glaceon, and thought ice types were pretty powerful) and since pokemon challenges keeps putting them down, I really wanted to see a mono ice type run. So it was really nice to watch this 😃😃😃
Was it Aaron and Bertha of Sinnoh’s Elite Four though

Crawbrawler: **Kirby Screams**

Also, i love the fe3h soundtrack in the background
Wow congrats
YES! Fellow Crabominable enjoyer! I love my dopey deep-sea yeti oaf!
I had a Shiny Crabominable in my now lost OG Moon file named Bloodslugger. She was Impish with Iron Fist, and kicked (or punched) serious keister. Hoping to revive her in Ultra Moon!

this is literally one of my favorite videos ever. love you mikey!
His reactions to catching Smoochum and Delibird were priceless lol!
Yes! Ice types are my favorite! I even did an Ice run as well in Ultra Sun, though I sent over an Alolan Vulpix I had bred to use as my starter.

me: *falling to sleep watching this because I’m tired*
him: “and who would have passion for the SKY”
me automatically waking up: “WHAT did you SAY???”
The single type Pokémon play through always bring me so much joy 😂❤️
They should really buff the ice type at least add a couple more resistances other than other ice types and maybe one other type it is super effective against otherwise give some it some neutral damage to other types

@@rileyackison4495 welp why the hell does one of those things even need other comments they can just go to the abyss for I care
They use other peoples comments to look real, not that that helps at all
Crabominable is super underrated IMO. It has good Attack and a pretty great movepool to work with its abilities. No chance of competitive use, but in the story you can just use your boosted Hammer moves to nuke everything you see.
Yeah if the thing had agility it might me a bit _____
Agility or even Speed Boost would not help Crabominable: only a Trick Room that lasts while Crabominable is alive would maximize what it could do, and even then not by much.
also it gets iron fist which is extremely good because it learns mostly punch moves
@@DPJDoesThings and Ice Hammer and Hammer Arm are counted as punches. 100 BP moves + STAB + Iron Fist with minimal drawbacks.
The Ice/Fighting combo is offensively fantastic. It's just that Crabominable itself sucks.
Also also, you sound like a retired villain this entire play through and I absolutely love it.
one of the funniest pokémon videos i’ve ever watched PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE
I love that we've gotten to the point where Grunty Boy is calling Mikey weird. The tables have turned.
I haven't seen the Alolan region is so long
The nostalgia has come back like a brick
"Who would have passion for the sky?"
* Team Sky Mikey shows up*
13:47 It's been so long since I've played SM or USUM that before he said that was the sea after 4 p.m., I momentarily was severely confused as to were he found a lava pool in Alola, let alone one with a wooden dock.
Also, I am genuinely amazed Mikey pulled off mimicking one of those Z-move dances. Those things ain't easy to get down.
“Ice Mikey”:Names his vulpix “storm”
Meanwhile me and Team Sky Mikey: MORE WETNESS

Same here I love ice types as well
Mike’s do be looking kinda COLD
Same!! Ice is my favorite type along with Fairy!!
@@minefish same!!!
Fellow ice type lover here❄
Well rough start but he pulled through, of course it's a good thing Alola has Ice types halfway through the game instead of near the 3rd half of the end.
But really I hope this means he'll finally do an *Ice Type then vs now* video!
Bro, this was a blast to watch! Great video!
Im so happy that he evolved Snorunt into Froslass. I can tell you this, from my Pokemon Shield playthroughs, Froslass is an absolute beast. Got a Level 20, max Dynamax level Froslass (With Snow Cloak) before even going to Motostoke. I loved destroying every single trainer, and Milo's face when I sent out Froslass with a move set of hail, double team, shadow ball, and ice fang. A beautiful, scary, and powerful Pokemon, wish I used Froslass before Sword and Shield, we need more love to it
I used Froslass on my Sword playthrough. Bea's first Pokémon can't hit ghost types, so I stacked up double teams until I maxed out evasion and swept everything
Froslass also has the special distinction of being 1 of the fastest Ice-Types in Pokemon too (Top 5 among non-Legendaries actually)!
Froslass has had a pretty interesting Gen 8 too. Her attacking stats are equal which means you can definitely go physical with some help from the Isle of Armor's move tutor. Triple Axel and Poltergeist are nice new Froslass options.
I used her on my monotype ghost run of legends Arkoos
Fun Fact, I actually tried this challenge myself and won
It was a bit janky but it was fun
me too
I'm very late to the party, but "Dragonslayer" is the coolest possible title for an ice type specialist.
Comedian in pokemon trainer clothing, I love your content!
Alola, finally! The Ice type is pretty cool (no pun intended) and Alolan Ninetales is my favorite Ice type. I'm very happy that you're playing Ultra Sun.
Edit: Ngl, Ultra Sun and Moon looks fire in HD.
Edit 2.0: Let me guess, Spheal's nickname is a reference to Mikey's XD Gale of Darkness playthrough, isn't?
after I named it that I had this feeling like I had done it before but could not remember when. I'm impressed you remembered!
@@MandJTVPlays I was just obsessed with your XD playthrough, that's why i remember, such a underrated game tho.
The faces Mikey makes while being in character crack me up everytime 🤣
He has to practice them in a mirror lol
I did this in Sun (non Ultra) for the same reason (the lack of an Ice specialist). Because of their lack of availability, I allowed myself to trade in a Lapras egg to act as my starter, and when I got to Tapu Village I traded in a Sandshrew egg (since it's a Moon exclusive). The rest of my team was Crabominable, Ninetales, Froslass, and Weavile.
One thing I always do whenever I do a monotype run is to pick a name that goes with the type, like Arthur for a Bug-type run of Shield (because "arthropod"). After much deliberation, for my Ice-type run of Sun, I named my character Elsa.

If it was team sky, it would have been pretty easy, as one of the starters is flying, and you get the flyinium-z pretty early, so you could have just swept any difficult challenge with supersonic skystike
so ice is a nice change
tbf rowlet turns into a ghost type after it fully evolves so idk if its allowed in the challenge.
@@staarfall5317 you can use it until it evolves, then you surely have options to replace it at that point
@@staarfall5317 , i mean, mikey did it so he could use flying types that cant fly, so he could use pokemon that can fly that arent flying type
It would also be pretty funny to see him react to Decidueye not being Grass/Flying. There's great material for a Team Sky playthrough in that bit.
