Ten minutes in each area of hisui to catch as many Pokémon as possible. Whoever catches the highest number of Pokemon per area wins. Alphas count for two points, and shinys count for three.
I love how PM7 went for shiny Espeon apparently not realizing it is one of the most controversial shiny eeveelutions. A lot of people dislike that alien green for Espeon.
To be fair, while it’s easily the most controversial shiny among eeveelutions, it is still an eeveelution, which in itself still makes it pretty popular and gives it a really good chance. Even if the voting is technically about the shiny forms, some people will always let their bias about a species decide their vote. (I know that I would be guilty of that too, since I absolutely hate druddigon’s design regardless of colors, so anything against it would have taken my vote)
If you do this type of round again, maybe add a third Pokémon as an option as a control? Then it could be really fun to see if the audience thinks either of your shinies are better than the chosen baseline
No they caught shinys and then made the poll and put in which one they caught and then later they looked who won each round so a third option would be useless
or if they ever do that again, they should win each round with the % of vote of each round and then add 1 or 2 points for total % of vote (of all rounds % together)
Imo gyarados's shiny is a bit overrated And people tend to pick pokemon that are in the earlier gens as they haev existed longer and bonded with the fans longer But i think Graplloct and other newer pokemon deserves some love too
Honestly thought Mikey was going to sweep this at the beginning but oh how the tables have turned for John. But let’s be honest…. We’re cool with this dragging out as long a possible! Very entertaining.
Someone needs to tell Katie and Tyler that this is the episode where John forgot what sandghast was so it can start being memed on in videos with clips from this 😂
The fact that John said “on the board!” Like “all aboard!” After winning with chandelure makes me wonder if it was a subway boss reference, since that’s ingo’s main Pokémon lol Either way, I’m pleased
If it were Kantonian Ponyta, it would be somewhat acceptable imo, but it was Galarian Ponyta. Pumpkaboo’s shiny is WAY better than Galarian Ponyta, plus much more fitting for October.
@@graveslayer9666 Honestly, my vote would've gone to Pumpkaboo. Shiny Galarian Ponyta feels very underwhelming compared to its standard look, whereas shiny Pumpkaboo is indeed incredible.
Jack and John need to get together, and find someone to make a giant drowzee plushie, and send it to Mikey. And Mikey needs to have it in his background
John really kept goin for green pokemon despite the fact that theyre hunting for popularity and green shinies are usually pretty hated. Godspeed, man. You are powerful.
That fact that PM7 got a shiny Kabuto that injured Mikey and a shiny Sigalyph that Mikey had to kill in Ultra Moon No Catching challenge was fun continuity Too bad no Shiny Drowzee to add to it
Idea: for season 2, you should do this challenge except all the Pokémon are normal. That way you have to guess what the shiny looks like, and then catch the Pokémon. To make it easier, you could get 2 Pokéballs to throw, and then decide between the two Pokémon and choose one for the poll. (And to make it harder, you can make it so that if you find any shiny Pokémon while searching, they have to be the Pokémon you go in with. And if you want to be EXTRA evil, you could make it so that the shiny Pokémon AREN’T shiny in the poll. Just a bit of revenge for John getting so many shinies.)
this is exactly what I needed after 14 hours of being outside for an inter-school competition, another good ol' fashioned banter reel between 2 poketubers love your content mikey ❤
Bro by any chance, you are from india? I know this is not that big a coincidence but even i was out for 14 hours for an inter school competition and just returned
@@shriyanssunderrajan591 hm, anyways it's cool that you were in the same boat as me it was so tiring, and I didn't even win a prize this video was exactly what I needed
"It's a strong Pokémon it don't need no man." "But it has one!" You can't just say things like that while I'm drinking coffee I almost spat that out laughing lol
I took this poll and literally didn't realize that all of the pairings started with the same letter, lmao. One thing I would have liked in the poll was if there was a picture of the regular form next to the shiny to tell the difference. There were a lot of them I forgot what the original colors were to gage if I thought it looked better
I totally missed the poll! Bit of a shame but it’s alright, loved the video :) Honestly the fact that it’s 11-11 makes the final round even better, I can’t wait to see what kind of big competition the next one will be! And I’m glad you guys are making this season 1, you and John have my favorite Pokémon content especially when you’re together 👀
Haven't watched the entire john-michael cup in order so I decided to do it. All those beeps and bloops that you edited into the video makes me think my discord is going off
I wonder if Michael would ever consider make a video about his team for every region. Basically, if he was the protagonist what would his team be regardless of effectiveness throughout the journey. The idea is to make a team of Pokémon that he would use without prior knowledge of what is to come. An example would be my alolan team: Starter- Incineroar Alolan raichu Mudsdale Bewear Ribombee Alolan sandslash
This cannot be more poetic, and don't feel bad, win or lose. You two are great friends and put out fantastic content that keeps me hooked! Honestly, whoever wins I will be happy to watch this journey,
John: There it is! It’s my friend come give me a hug! The Pokédex: Bewear will often hug it’s trainer, but it’s so strong that it sometimes shatters bones.
Fun fact about my reaction : at the letters N, I was wondering why John wasn't catching Umbreon, but that's because I forgot in English it was called that, while the French name is "Noctali".
In German it's "Nachtara" if I remember correctly. It's my favourite shiny. I had the same reaction, which is weird since I usually play and most Poketubers talk in English, so I often forget the German names.
Keep up the great work guys (And gals, as in the editor)!. Mikey, you had an extreme influence of my pokemon obsession. When you went on break, I grew out of pokemon. But when you got back, I got back into my obsession.
I mentioned how John and Michael forgot about Indeedee in the version of this competition where it was the Base Stat Totals that decided the point. John running into a shiny Indeedee and just blatantly ignoring it just makes me think of that moment.
They did the entire alphabet before the polls, so the poll results were afterwards and I guess they didn't want the footage to go to waste so they included everything

I love how PM7 went for shiny Espeon apparently not realizing it is one of the most controversial shiny eeveelutions. A lot of people dislike that alien green for Espeon.
my thoughts exactly
Tbf, the 3d shiny color is much better than the sickly green Espeon had as a sprite.
I think it fits very well! Really shows how weird its concept is
The switch to 3d models actually helped Espeon I think. It doesn't look nearly as gross nowadays.
To be fair, while it’s easily the most controversial shiny among eeveelutions, it is still an eeveelution, which in itself still makes it pretty popular and gives it a really good chance.

@@DrakodogProdZ this video
If you do this type of round again, maybe add a third Pokémon as an option as a control? Then it could be really fun to see if the audience thinks either of your shinies are better than the chosen baseline
It should be really good Mon though that everyone like, like wooper, gyarwdos and bidoof
Maybe they randomly generated a Pokemon, and they have to work to surpass it regardless of how good or bad it is
Great idea
No they caught shinys and then made the poll and put in which one they caught and then later they looked who won each round so a third option would be useless

I absolutely love the single frame at 28:33 where PM7's character has a Xatu beak poking out of his face 🤣
Saaaame XD
Xatu made a beak on John 🤣🤣
It made sense for Grapploct and Gyarados to be close to a tie, since they both have an equally awesome shiny.
Gyarados is the og tho
@@kitty.miracle is this a joke?
Imo gyarados's shiny is a bit overrated
And people tend to pick pokemon that are in the earlier gens as they haev existed longer and bonded with the fans longer
But i think Graplloct and other newer pokemon deserves some love too
Also same color so hard to decide
gyarados is nostalgic tho
Always fun to watch John and Michael compete

That fact that PM7 got a shiny Kabuto that injured Mikey and a shiny Sigalyph that Mikey had to kill in Ultra Moon No Catching challenge was fun continuity
Too bad no Shiny Drowzee to add to it
Well, Drowzee's not in SwSh so it was never an option.
One of them did catch my first shiny ever (not counting pokemon go) Bewear
Oh so thats what the poll was for. Lol I didn't even realize they were going alphabetically. Always a good day to see more videos with you guys.
I love it when John starts to sing "Where is my Pokemon..."
John constantly bullying Mikey about drowzee is amazing
