Rating Every Pokémon Team I Used This Year 

so many great pokémon playthroughs from you in 2022, hyped to see what’s in store this year!

Was anyone else waiting for Grunty Boy to run in at the end because Mikey gave his team a 7/10🤣

I like how Grunty Boi never breaks character for a moment. He may have started with just a small contract helping Mikey do his sponsorships, but I'm glad they have started cooperating more and more.

Capricorn the Gogoat made such an impact on me that I actually respect Gogoat and I am happy it's in gen 9. It's even on Geeta's team, (Despite her team being a mess) and people sleep on it, but it gets horn leech + bulk up, and I've seen it be a threat there. These videos shaped how I view Pokemon and was the reason I view Pokemon content in the first place. I can't wait for the inevitable amazing challenge runs this year!

Fun Fact: This is Grunty Boi's 100th appearance on either Mandjtv channel, it's been entertaining to watch as it goes

I was waiting for this sequel.

It’s so cool the way mikey liked gogoat so much in the randomizer and it also ended up being his first shiny in scarlet

I can’t wait to see Team Sky taking on Scarlet and Violet. With Kilowattrel, Talonflame, Corviknight, and Tropius the different types can all help cover each other.

I love that grunty boi’s team, is ironically a very well balanced team with good Pokemon

Can’t wait for the amazing content this year, and many years to come!

Now, really think about: The Ice type team wasn't AS bad as you might think. There were no overlaps with these pokemon's second typing, all of which being unique. But aside from that, I hope and cannot wait for you to make more fun videos this year and future years!

I love how mikey actually enjoys moments that are supposedly good for the camera

This has been an awesome year of videos from you, Mikey. Not only with the videos on this channel and your playthroughs on Plays, but also with the John-Michael Cup(s). I’m not sure if you’re going to do a “Best Moments of 2022” video, mainly since there’s a TON of clips to use, but it’d be amazing if you did.

You know what? Grunty Boi got sent to another dimension...what mischief could he get into if he went BACK IN TIME?!?

When a Poketuber doesn't want so many pokemon games released in one year you know someone's messed up. Can't wait to see more teams

This was a great year Mikey! Lots of fun content all-around also ik this is kinda random but im kinda obsessed with the pmd sound effects in this vid they scratch the nostalgic itch in my brain

Now Grunty Boi is doing something other than sponsors on the main channel and I’m living for it.

Love to see the work put into this 2022 was an eventful year and you’ll be even better in 2023

one of the best parts of the year! been a proud sub for 2 1/2 years now and i loved all of those playthroughs, heres to a solid 2023 mikey!!

I had a lot of fun with your videos this year, and am really glad to hear the break helped! Looking forward to another great year for you and for whatever pokemon's got cooking.

I'm just hyped for the tonnes of amazing playthroughs of 2023 GO TEAM SKKKKKYYYYY!!!!!!

I loved all these videos. I'm hoping you make a grunty boy and team sky video for scarlet and violet :) thanks for the great year of content Mikey.

I've been loving Mikey's year. His Pokemon playthroughs are always entertaining and the MandJ Cup competitions are always hilarious!

The editing in the last year has gotten even better than before, keep it up!

Looking forward to the best of 2022 video as well as all the amazing content you make this year 😊

i love that scarlet and violet are so new that most new pokemon don't have sugimori art yet

I can’t wait for enough time to pass for you to do just another play through of Arceus, gimmicks or just straight up casual funsies. It’s one of my favorite games of all time and would love another long form like you did for SV. I’d especially love to see you tackle some of the often overlooked stuff in the DLC like path of Solitude, all the other trainer battles, and Eternal Battle Reverie ❤️❤️❤️

I love your videos. I also love seeing Grunty Boy and the Team Sky playthroughs. Both have amazing commentary and they are fun to watch.

Video recommendation: are there any pokemon you started out indifferent to or not liking but then grew to love because of a funny story, or a positive experience?

I loved watching the scarlet playthrough seeing all the reactions to the amazing story was awesome

I was ready for this one thanks for making a sequel Mikey!

Amazing video as usual!! Also, your editor has been ROCKING it with the goofy fun editing!

This just made me realise how quickly this year went by. It feels like yesterday thet the first one came out

I love your videos, you have my support through everything! ❤

I enjoyed all of these playthroughs and I appreciate your hard work Mikey! Looking forward to 2023! 😊

The editing in this video really stood out to me compared to other videos. Great video. 10/10

10:50 this brief moment has no rights to be this well edited

This is a great sequel. I love the editing too with the effects

First time I saw this I thought it was the 2021 video 😅 Great video, Mikey! Just an overall good year of content. I love watching your videos, I'm gonna be waiting for what's yet to come.

i was waiting for for this to come out. thanks for the awsome content troughout the years

So many great play through last year good to see you rank them

This was a good year for these teams. Not as good 2021, but still very good.

I've been waiting for this video and it's finally here!

MandJTV thank you for the video's I hope you keep it up in the new year.

Shoutout to the new editing,so good and unique

I also used the first 3 members of your Scarlet team on my first playthrough of it, but I substituted the last 3 with Clodsire, Arboliva, and Lokix.

What a year! Somehow in disbelief that all this content came from one year 😅 honestly amazing

I am very excited for your playthroughs, great content

Love this videos! Keep on keepin' on!

Hi Mikey! I absolutely love your videos and can't wait for more challenges and list videos! ❤️

I’m so glad I found this channel and your plays one. I have been enjoying all your videos. I especially love the Team Sky ones lol I can’t stop saying it.

For some reason it's been a while since I've sat down and watched your vids. I hope everyone has a great 2023!

I used a gogoat on my first playthrough of X, and it is the most slept-on pokemon EVER! 531 BST with STAB horn leech is insane. I'm tempted to do a Grass only Scarlet playthrough, with Gogoat (my favorite gen 6 pokemon), Sawsbuck (another slept-on grass type with surprisingly good stats and STABs) and Arboliva (one of my top 10 gen 9 pokemon)

Cannot wait for what other play through you do other than Team Sky in gens 5 through 9

I have been watching a lot of your videos recently due to recommendations. I have to say that Grunty Boy character is really well done and functions the same as the OG Team Rocket. Definetely makes the sponsored content interesting to watch and that is something!

I love how much the editing has gotten better over the years.

Here’s to hoping Mikey has a Team Sky in Scarlet and Violet video soon.

Bro the editing on this video is definitely better than normal mandjtv videos

Bro I was just watching the the ranking every pokemon team I had in 2021 then this popped up lol This vid was great and I can't wait for other many good vids in the future

shoutout to this videos editor, the video felt really smooth and the little touches just made it better!!!

I love your content Mikey please don’t stop making content I love everything you do it’s amazing how much you upload, it’s probably really hard to post lots but please please don’t stop Edit: did you up the editing it’s taken a step up in this video ❤❤

I would love to see Mikey's reaction to the 1K Pokemon video, focusing on nostalgia, how the pokemon are lumped together thematically/randomly, and his experience catching them all, including the variants appearing in the video.

For my own team sky runs I consider whether the pokemon has or will fly or glide under any circumstances, it really opens up your options in those playthroughs

Bro I swear you are so entertaining I’ve literally watched youre videos for hours and didn’t realize 😂

This is great I can’t wait to see the teams in 2023❤🎉

I love your work!

I'm so excited to see what you do this year Mikey.

Finally I was waiting for this vid

I can't believe you managed to play so many games in only 6 days!

Damn man, this year has gone fast! Hope you are doing well.

thanks Mikey for the pokemon videos last year! they were amazing!

Excited to see this for next year

Hope we get more awesome playthroughs this year and team sky will travel to Unova

Can't wait for your new playthroughs this year!

Love the video and keep up the great work mikey

I love your content and hope for more in 2023

I’m so glad the flying ground gogoat got the recognition it deserved in the thumbnail

My teams in 2022 Legends Arceus Hisuian Typhlosion, Staraptor, Floatzel, Ursaluna, Kleavor, Dialga Really fun and balanced, all team members played a big role, Roserade and Luxray also were big assets but didn't make to the battle against Volo. Amazing 10/10 Brilliant Diamond Torterra, Staraptor, Floatzel, Garchomp, Houndoom, Jirachi. Solid team, also varied, with an unexpected star as Houndoom. Also Staraptor and Floatzel again, I'm sure they will never disappoint me, really sure... Anyway this team is 9/10, mostly because Calm Mind Jirachi felt a bit cheesy. Black 2 (Emulator) Emboar, Beartic, Lucario, Unfeazant, Magnezone, Krookodile. I loved this team, not only has my favorite Pokémon, but had a lot of memorable moments involving the rest of the team, like that epic Emboar clutch against Marshall. Some shafted mons like Liligant and Azumarill where great too. But it was quite unbalanced, being extremely vulnerable to not only Fighting like 99.9% of Unova teams but also to Ground (If I knew Lucario was gonna be so useless, I would have kept Liligant) Because of that, it gets a 7/10 SoulSilver (Emulator) Typhlosion, Ampharos, Nidoking, Gyarados (ofc Shiny), Ursaring, Crobat. Not the best team to be honest, Ampharos and Ursaring were good in paper but never did something remotely useful in the endgame. (And because is Johto a replacement wasn't an option) Typhlosion would have been the same of wasn't because of the sheer RNG-based clutches he got. (Seriously that guy either gets confused 6 turns in a row or dodges and crits twice in a row) Nidoking was literally only used as hazard setter, Crobat and Gyadados where the only ones useful in battle, and were freaking busted. If I could describe this team with one word, would be PAINFUL 3/10 Scarlet Skeledirge, Beartic, Breloom, Staraptor, Floatzel, Great Tusk. Skeledirge and Beartic where AWESOME, probably too much as half of the battles was one of the two sweeping the opposing team effortless, and the other half was won with only these two. The other four barely had time to shine. Even when I used them they weren't being too helpful even with EV training. While "balanced" in terms of types (not like it mattered anyway) it was definitely unbalanced in terms of power, two unstoppable forces and four underwhelming mons. No good for a playthrough team. 5/10 simply because two of my all time favorite are there.

Honestly one of my favorite videos that you do each year!

REALLY like the new editing style, very entertaining

Can't wait to see Team Sky's journey in S & V!

Thanks for all the fun videos in 2022, can't wait for more this year :) Also for the team sky platinum video, shout-out to Airborne the Empoleon: a penguin with a dream of one day obtaining that jetpack

Hi MandJTV! I want you to know that your my favorite youtuber EVER. I binge Watch Your vids! (Also I haven't watched your team sky vid in Pkm Legends Arkoos yet cuz I haven't completed the game yet but I WILL watch it when im done 😃)

I loved watching your scarlet and ARKOOS playthrough it was amazing keep it coming

Well, in the 6 days of this year, I'd be surprised to see even 2 teams. Laugh at my joke

He’s so good at coming up at nicknames, “Clamuel” is awesome

Love your vids man always makes my day

11:48 My senior quote will be “A murder of crows emphasis on the murder!” -Mikey of Team Sky

I hope this series goes out for 100 years❤

I like how he used two legendaries in his hgss team sky playthrough 😂

Can we just appreciate the : ' grettings Pokefans ' he does every video , I can feel this line of him coming inside me

So close to 2 mil!! Keep it up!

Rocket Bone made me laugh. Love this channel and your competition with PKM7 so comedic and fun

How could you sir Michael! 15:18 The top row was half of my team for my scarlet playthrough and the 3 you benched were the other half! How original!

Love the vids keep uploading plz

Fire mighty plush love it great vid

I loved your scarlet play through so much, I grew way too attached to the whole team, I love the commentary, and the minor story differences persuaded me to buy scarlet instead of violet. I love all of your videos, you make my day significantly better every time I watch them. Thank you. P.s. I nicknamed my first shiny toedscruel agari after yours
