Choose Your Starter By Their First Letter BUT! 

Yo - thanks for watching :]

The ability caveat is such an awesome idea

This ability idea is really fun. I think another potential idea with it could be: Tell your opponent what your 3 starters are (with one lie) and they pick which one they want you to have, then you chose the ability. So ideally both teams would end up with all of the "worst" options and you would try to make them usable with the ability you give it

Shady once again proving himself a man of culture by naming his Delphox after Frieren

This new way of picking abilities is amazing! Also, Shady gave Luke the absolute work this battle omg

Shady’s game plans are just lit 🔥 definitely my favorite channel out of the bunch to watch , keep up the great work !

13:15 the way shady said "not again, not again, not again" just brings back memories from the well baked body sweeps

Imagine if Shady went Adaptability Arceus with choice band and just clicked Extreme Speed

Shady just mentioned Swords Dance Ice shard Abomasnow on his stream an hour ago... and that literary tool is called foreshadowing

Shady, thank you for implementing my suggestion. It was worth the super chats! You kick ass. I'd love to see you guys next time catch and plan your letter mons. The strategy game would be sick.

I really love watching these. It’s fun to watch Shady battle competitively again, even if it is just with friends

Dude this made the battle sooooo entertaining!!!!! Great idea shady 🔥

2T1L by first letter of the starters' names, along with abilities needing to be of the same first letter; this is the most complex yet interesting concept combo I've seen on this channel yet. It's different but enjoyable at the same time

I really like the ability twist with this video, that's a really fun idea I would love to see in more letter videos

1:57 "there are some bad z Pokémon" Him: *Can't think of any* Me: *screaming Zubat at my phone-*

This is absolutely the best version of the then we battle series to date. So much more interesting than most of the others although the lie feels a bit unnecessary for this one? The info is already so limited.

the dry skin well baked body part had me absolutely cracking up

Shady: Since I have Dry Skin, Ground's only weakness is Grass *Ice type left the chat*

I know Luke was super unlucky this battle but Shady’s strategies seemed really competent and thought out

This was such a creative video, you just keep overdoing yourself brother. Keep up the quality content!

Shady playing on point out of his mind today, didn't even need God, he was already unstoppable.

"Not again" had me dying

This video was great, would like like a 30-90 second clip of you fellas building your teams and explaining some of the theory around why you chose what you did. Wouldn't work for every then we battle but this one could.

"You're not even 25% man" might be the most savage thing I've ever heard on one of these videos😂

Lucario has been able to learn Shadow Ball by TM since his introduction in Gen 4. Only in Gen 8 was it removed. He also learns Shadow Claw.

Adaptability, choice band, tera normal arecus with extreme speed would be terrifying 😂

Spoiler Shield🛡️

That was arguably one of the better ideas for a video. You should do more of these!

I know it would be a TON of extra work, but I have always thought it would be really cool to see a team recap before the fight starts. Even still, you STAY making banger vids, my guy!

You and the whole crew should do a tournament where you’re all gym leaders of different types.

This is probably my favorite one so far. I love the ability restriction idea.

Definitely do this but with total letters of the Pokémon’s names

I think it would be a lot of fun to implement the rule that if they choose the pokemon you lied about then they have to use the letter that you lied with. So covering the arceus with a T, they now have to use a T ability since they chose the lie.

Shady was INSANE this battle, honestly surprising me just as much as Luke lmao

This was my favorite one in a while. Some really big brain stuff goin’ on here.

This is probably my favorite "Then we battle" so far. I loved the letter to ability concept

Ok the two of you just cracked me up this episode love it!

That ability gimmick made this one of my favorite types so far

The Dry Skin into Well Baked Body was golden

This was such a fun battle the dry skin delphox was so funny and the slowking getting paralyzed into encore

I love how cocky Luke is, all just to get slapped up 😂

14:24 this killed me lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Shady played this so well, even the Clefable blunder wasn’t that bad as it gave him time to come up with the idea that Delphox is faster than Greninja

A Dry Skin Delphox and Well-baked Body Kilowattrel. That has to be the smartest thing I've seen!

An entertaining battle as always 😁 loved all of the type immunity abilities popping off, everyone always forgets about Dry Skin. But there was no way Shady was gonna lose with an As One Arceus in the back 😅

7:24 not sure if making Copperajah look like it was holding its stat board with its trunk was intentional, but if so that was a great touch

This was an awesome idea for a video! The letters and abilities matching was my favorite so far

For being a massive steel elephant, Copperajah’s defenses are abyssmal

What a fun and enjoyable twist on the traditional Then We Fight video format

Love how Luke LOVES the Pokémon the has blocked every door he walked in during his Playthrough

This is crazy. I thought I was watching a livestream. Oh well. More Shady for my addiction.

There is no way I have the same hoodie on as you shady!! Literally just got home from work showered and got dressed and through that exact hoodie on! Made my day!! Lmao just kinda crazy

holy CRAP Shady you absolutely BODIED this battle!!!!

Using rr strats in his 1v1s now shady has improved since playing rr ❤️

The ability stuff was actually pretty neat, would love to see it again

This has to be one of your best top 3 performances Shady! 🔥

I love this version of how you pick and select abilities

That dry skin gambit was next level

i love that the intros become so fast that it doesnt even include "we have" anymore XD

Huge Power Hoppip is gonna go hard 😂

You quite literally used Luke’s own Oven to cook him this battle

That was the best chaotic then we fights ever 😂

Gotta love that low-poly Froakie.

i feel like not taking wonder guard on killowattrel was a miss but this was still a great video :)

You guys are my favorite combo for these videos. Absolute heater

Next time you do this, maybe you could do it where if you pick the lie, you have to pick an ability with the lie letter instead of the real letter. Adds some mind games for which letters you’d pick for which mons

Shady and Luke are a fucking duo I cannot live without. This video was hilarious 😂 I wanna see a rematch

It's not even a surprise when shady wins at this point, none of the people he makes videos with are as good as he is

Yall should do one where you guess the abilities or get them from spinning a wheel & then randomize the pokemon you get

Love how he tried to lie about Arceus and it failed anyways haha

I freaking love this concept. MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!!!

I really liked this one. I’d love to see another one with this same ability caveat

i love this video idea! do more like this!

I'm impressed that shady watching Frieren either 😂

Loved the fun any ability but limited to a letter format this time

This was a great idea so fun to watch

What's wild is my partner got a Mega Abomasnow with Simple 2 days ago in our X&Y soul link so I'm rooting for Shady's Sabomasnow 😂

Shady watching anime of the year, cultured.

Riper Konmo-o reference!! Best battle ever 😂❤

SPOILER SHIELD 🛡️🛡️

I really like this concept!

King Shady back at it again with another banger

Surprised I didn't see a h or p for huge and pure power. I like this concept for battles.

Well baked body instead of wind rider???? It's the actual good stuff ability😂

This might be my new favorite gimmic for picking abilities

Seeing you use vacuum wave on lucario, reminds me of my current radical red run with a feline prowess lucario with nasty plot and vacuum wave

Shady fought so well this match! Wow, really impressed! (Luke was good too)

you kept saying things in the live about encore and abamasnow, i thought i missed something but it makes sense now

This is probably the worst luck Luke's ever had.

Love these vids Shady

when you show off the abilities and "As One" is one, you should but a G or an S next to it so we know which one it is

sick hoodie mr.shady

Luke's inability to pronounce Z was so painful. Shady's was fine, but Luke was just the worst There wasn't any difference between the two, but you can't say 'Zee' with a British Accent.

You had god in the back. HE manifested those hacks for you

Shady, hopefully you see this. I love this Pokémon challenge with the ability with the names. Gives it a good mix up

You should do this again, but if they pick the lie, the ability has to start with the lie letter

You can actually do the math yourself if the lights are properly calibrated to the speed of the road

Luke pachinko doesn't show up as a nickname cause the censor bot sees the slur in their middle of it 😭😂

Bro got Molly wopped

Frieren?!? I knew there was a reason Shady is my fave poketuber 😂❤
