@Sonikks Aren’t you the guy that caught all those square shinies? Did you know that’s a 1/65535 chance? You’re the luckiest guy ever (Edit: I know square shinies arent the rarest. I was making fun of all the people commenting on his videos hahah)
Johnstone square shinies from wild encounters are 65534/65535 chance because of an error. Also rip doing professor oaks challenge here since there’ll be no high level raids for good candies at the start ;) (Pls do anyway I breath your content)
Minor point of correction: the reason Piers doesn't Dynamax his pokemon isn't because he doesn't believe in the idea, it's because he just can't actually perform it. Spikemuth doesn't have a Power Spot like the other Gyms in Galar, so his Pokemon literally can't use the energy to Dynamax at all, unlike the other leaders. This is why Spikemuth is such a shanty town, unlike other cities in Galar which are more like bustling metropolis' in comparrison.
You're both half right. He doesn't dynamax because you can't dynamax in Spikemuth, but he also willingly chooses not to dynamax in areas where he can (gym leader tournament in Wyndon stadium) to prove that you don't need dynamaxing to win, which is I think what John meant.
@@noahp1124 people been saying that? Most of the complaints ive seen so far is reused models,shitty animations(most of them anyway especially for a switch game) and the fact that gamefreak lied to us.

WoodyBlox did I say they had to? I only said that it was weird for them to not have something to do with the evil plot I never said anything about character development being good or bad what really amuses me is the fact that you assumed that I was saying they’re bad without the context of me actually referring them to be bad

Black and White had two different leaders yes, but both were masters of Dragon-types. This is the first game where the different gym leaders had different type masteries

Finally, now that I've completed the game so I can watch this without any spoilers! Also, I don't understand why people are asking why he only has 81 Pokémon when he has only been catching new Pokémon of the generation in all of his previous Catch them alls.

"We find out that Piers is Marnie's older brother, the leader of Team Yell, and the Gym Leader that we have to face." Piers isn't the leader of Team Yell, the grunts before him say they formed Team Yell without his consent to sabotage gym challengers. He most likely more or less becomes the leader after the gym battle though.
I think 16 hours is longer than any other games story if you think about it...usually Pokémon games are around 10 hours unless you take your time and talk to every npc and do every battle..
It's Shio I think we may have a different view of long story. A game like platinum can be 30 hours if you explore a lot outside of the main story, grind, and catch more Pokémon. If you go straight forward with the story, no way it goes more than 10-12 hours.
My own challenge was doing the Pokedex for these games. 70 in-game hours spent to get it. So very much props to you for already beating the game and making challenges for it!
i mean the title should be HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH EVERY "NEW" POKEMON IN SWORD/SHIELD? or HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH " SOME OF THE" POKEMON IN SWORD/SHIELD? there are over 200 pokemon that wont be caught during this video
Yea, tbh I was kind of looking forward to him doing all 400. I don't really care if he's just going to be catching the new ones. I think the 400 could still be possible in 24 hours if you're not going for a living dex. My main issue with doing it myself is just getting the version exclusives, but with 2 games it should be easy.
me: *trying not to get spoiled out of anything from the game so they can play it blindly* Johnstone uploading this: I'm about to end this man's whole carreer.
TLDR: Always use Master Ball on shiny raid pokemon UNLESS it is non-event AND the host is YOU. Master Ball is best saved for a guest max raid battle against a shiny! This applies for non-event pokemon. When you battle a dynamax pokemon that YOU initiate, as in you go to the den, you start the raid, so you're the host, YOU have a guaranteed catch at the end. But any guests that join you from the internet have ONE chance, and it is not guaranteed! NOTE: exception apply for event raids see below I saw a Gigantamax Duraladon on the Y-Comm and i joined it... It was shiny! Maybe someone out there knows the exact catch calculations, but I don't, and I don't need to. I have one chance to catch this thing and therefore I will settle for nothing less than a 100% chance of success! (Anyway, while I'm commenting, I like your videos, good job!) Clarifications: -If you're battling an event raid (for example, in february 2020 that could be Gigantamax Toxtricity), you don't have guaranteed odds, even if you are the host of the raid. -Some people have found a technique to easily find shiny pokemon in raids. Using this technique, you have as many attempts as you want to catch a shiny. But, if you're just joining a random raid on the Y-Comm with a person you don't know, then it's highly unlikely you will get a second chance. Use your Master Ball! If you want more information on this uh, r/shinyraids on reddit I guess.
"Duraladon is a 1% encounter in the grass" Me on my second time playing the game: Cool! Duraladon! Me watching this video: ... How did I get lucky! My luck is the worst
There's a static impidimp encounter at the beginning of those woods if you just press A on the ones you see just out of bounds on the right. The Wild Area Duraludon is way more consistent/easy to get (since it's a strong overworld spawn that's almost always there); if you don't find the 1% encounter on your first pass through on that snowy route, it's not worth wasting time hunting for it.
30:50 With the Leek and Focus Energy, Farfetch'd is Guaranteed to land critical hits. The Leek alone makes it a coin flip, so teaching it any special move / very weak physical move and going up against something weak is probably the best bet
Your comment about Nessa's gym reminds me of when I beat it by weakening her Arrokuda, using my Corvisquire's Whirlwind because I was in a pinch, and then killing her Drednaw. She then sent out her "last" Pokemon (the half-dead Arrokuda) and she actually gave the whole spiel about "alright this is it, my ace pokemon, etc." I thought that was kinda funny
Fun tip: The Wild Lands will have the same weather throughout the whole map on the first of every month. February SnowStorm, March Overcast, April Sandstorm, May Normal, June Fog, July Intense Sun, October Raining, November Thunderstorm, December Snowing.
That's longer than any other pokemon game if you're skipping side content, which is pretty obvious you've done here if you beat it in 15 hours. With a pretty casual playstyle, I'd say most pokemon games occupy me for around 20 hours. With that same playstyle, this one took me 50 to beat. It's not harder, but the Wild Area raids occupied me for a good 15-ish hours and were fun to play around with. Even ignoring wild area the game still took me like 35 casually hours though
@@x54xHantamachine cause you're slow as molasses. I talked to every NPC and filled out my Pokedex everytime I saw something I didn't have and the entire game only took me 9 hours to beat. With the battle tower in post game only taking another hour and a half or so. This game has incredibly shallow pacing that only looks longer on the surface due to the Wild Area, but going route to route its incredibly small. Most towns/cities only have 2 or 3 buildings you can enter, most of the routes are super short with maybe 3 trainers on them
@@Mr.Japlay the story and postgame which is what "beating the game" means. I'm near 300 in Pokedex completion but it doesnt really matter for me considering I have a whole living national dex sitting in Pokemon Bank
Tim Etters 9 seems a bit long especially for everything you claim to have done. The reason I finished it in 15 hours was I spent about 3 hours in the wild area before the first gym and therefore had massively overleveled Pokémon the rest of the game. I only finished with 56 in my Pokédex, so 300 in 6 hours less seems a bit excessive
First Werster blazed through so fast he was uploading post-game footage before I even saw main game footage or streams, and now something I'd expect a few years from now has come out in a few days. What are these speedrunning madmen even made of?!
then they wonder why they hate the games lol they wait a year for the new game to come out to then rush trough it instead of slowly exploring all the hidden things in the game and enjoying every part of it, considering how easy these games are its very easy to speedrun it lol
Me and my brother did it with a end time of around 27 hours in game time but then again we didn't hard focus it until later. Great video keep up the great work.
Just got a switch lite and sword.. finally. Lol had a switch on release but sold it, currently having some inspiration from you to bring over all my old mons across from gen 3. It’s been a weird trip but on my way there 👌 great vid
22:46 "she challenges us to one of the least difficult matches of the game" that milotic was the only pokemon that ever made me struggle while i played the game
i tried to speed-run this game and it took me just over 24 hours. Yeah, you have to fight most trainers or else you get wrecked by the next big battle.
These vids inspired me to actually complete the Pokédex with my friend this gen, and we finished it on Tuesday after getting the game Friday. Yikes flskfmsn
@johnstone this game has like the least amount of story it hardly gets in the way but that’s just my opinion you don’t really have to go out of your way for anything in this game
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but at 29:30, you didn't need a Poké Doll to flee there, as Ghost-types can run from battle guaranteed no matter what. (Ghost-types can't be trapped by things like Mean Look or Shadow Tag either.)
I'll be honest with you, having played the games, there isn't anything that occurs, story-wise, that anyone with a double-digit number of brain cells couldn't figure out. While this story is "long" as John puts it, it certainly isn't deep or thought-provoking in terms of mystery.
PoyntFury I care more about being spoiled from the new Pokémon. I don’t even know what the starters’ evolutions look like, so I’d prefer to just experience it when I play it
I'd really like to see you catch all the pokemon in the pokedex for sword and shield. That's what I'm working on now. The rewards for it suck compared to older games, but I'm having fun doing it.

“The longest story of the series”
Bruh it’s 16 hours long
I think 16 hours is longer than any other games story if you think about it...usually Pokémon games are around 10 hours unless you take your time and talk to every npc and do every battle..
Still longer than Sonic Forces and EA Battlefront 2’s campaign, combined.
I'm pretty sure diamond/pearl are longer than this one
Longest Story = No plot at all
It's Shio I think we may have a different view of long story. A game like platinum can be 30 hours if you explore a lot outside of the main story, grind, and catch more Pokémon. If you go straight forward with the story, no way it goes more than 10-12 hours.
Stonjourner and Eiscue: cry together for being forgotten

My own challenge was doing the Pokedex for these games. 70 in-game hours spent to get it.
So very much props to you for already beating the game and making challenges for it!
“unlike previously, this bike has more than 1 speed”
acro bike: “am i a joke to you?”
8:56 He literally says "unlike the other games, this bike has only one speed". You actually reversed what he said just for your shitty joke.
"But since this game has been out for about a week I don't think that'll be too much of an issue." Pokémon BDSP: Hold my beer!
20:33 lmao that pikachu is dying over there 😂😂
I was hoping he was going to say something about why that was happening, but he didn't XD it definitely threw me off guard.
20:33 HOL UP IS THAT THING EATING A PIKACHU
"This lake is filled with a bunch of fish" Lmao
21:35 every time I see Duraludon I just think about this specific clip lmfao
i mean the title should be HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH EVERY "NEW" POKEMON IN SWORD/SHIELD? or HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH " SOME OF THE" POKEMON IN SWORD/SHIELD?
there are over 200 pokemon that wont be caught during this video
people wouldn't click on that
i would have liked the galarian forms to be included at least
In that case I completed it quicker than him caught 250 in 18 hours
Yea, tbh I was kind of looking forward to him doing all 400. I don't really care if he's just going to be catching the new ones. I think the 400 could still be possible in 24 hours if you're not going for a living dex. My main issue with doing it myself is just getting the version exclusives, but with 2 games it should be easy.
or just read the thumbnail........

TLDR: Always use Master Ball on shiny raid pokemon UNLESS it is non-event AND the host is YOU.
Master Ball is best saved for a guest max raid battle against a shiny! This applies for non-event pokemon. When you battle a dynamax pokemon that YOU initiate, as in you go to the den, you start the raid, so you're the host, YOU have a guaranteed catch at the end. But any guests that join you from the internet have ONE chance, and it is not guaranteed! NOTE: exception apply for event raids see below
I saw a Gigantamax Duraladon on the Y-Comm and i joined it... It was shiny! Maybe someone out there knows the exact catch calculations, but I don't, and I don't need to. I have one chance to catch this thing and therefore I will settle for nothing less than a 100% chance of success!
(Anyway, while I'm commenting, I like your videos, good job!)
Clarifications:
-If you're battling an event raid (for example, in february 2020 that could be Gigantamax Toxtricity), you don't have guaranteed odds, even if you are the host of the raid.
-Some people have found a technique to easily find shiny pokemon in raids. Using this technique, you have as many attempts as you want to catch a shiny. But, if you're just joining a random raid on the Y-Comm with a person you don't know, then it's highly unlikely you will get a second chance. Use your Master Ball! If you want more information on this uh, r/shinyraids on reddit I guess.
"Duraladon is a 1% encounter in the grass"
Me on my second time playing the game: Cool! Duraladon!
Me watching this video: ... How did I get lucky! My luck is the worst
he meant the exclamation points in the grass where you cant see the pokemon have a 1 percent chance to spawn duraludon
Johnstone: Teach Farfetch'd Focus Energy
Me who battles post game Metapod: Years of academy training, wasted
Damn, I was waiting for the MDB premiere when this popped up. 😂
There's a static impidimp encounter at the beginning of those woods if you just press A on the ones you see just out of bounds on the right.
The Wild Area Duraludon is way more consistent/easy to get (since it's a strong overworld spawn that's almost always there); if you don't find the 1% encounter on your first pass through on that snowy route, it's not worth wasting time hunting for it.
30:50 With the Leek and Focus Energy, Farfetch'd is Guaranteed to land critical hits. The Leek alone makes it a coin flip, so teaching it any special move / very weak physical move and going up against something weak is probably the best bet
Dude, I seriously love your videos. I can't believe you already done with this video, because the games are just one week old. Impressive
Oh there's the raid den glitch already.
Your comment about Nessa's gym reminds me of when I beat it by weakening her Arrokuda, using my Corvisquire's Whirlwind because I was in a pinch, and then killing her Drednaw. She then sent out her "last" Pokemon (the half-dead Arrokuda) and she actually gave the whole spiel about "alright this is it, my ace pokemon, etc." I thought that was kinda funny
Finally, with 120 hours in the game, I’ve beaten Shield and can watch this video 😍
Fun tip: The Wild Lands will have the same weather throughout the whole map on the first of every month.
February SnowStorm, March Overcast, April Sandstorm, May Normal, June Fog, July Intense Sun, October Raining, November Thunderstorm, December Snowing.
Thanks
“Longest story line of any Pokémon game”
I finished mainstory and the postgame in 15 hours
That's longer than any other pokemon game if you're skipping side content, which is pretty obvious you've done here if you beat it in 15 hours.
With a pretty casual playstyle, I'd say most pokemon games occupy me for around 20 hours. With that same playstyle, this one took me 50 to beat. It's not harder, but the Wild Area raids occupied me for a good 15-ish hours and were fun to play around with. Even ignoring wild area the game still took me like 35 casually hours though
@@x54xHantamachine cause you're slow as molasses. I talked to every NPC and filled out my Pokedex everytime I saw something I didn't have and the entire game only took me 9 hours to beat. With the battle tower in post game only taking another hour and a half or so. This game has incredibly shallow pacing that only looks longer on the surface due to the Wild Area, but going route to route its incredibly small. Most towns/cities only have 2 or 3 buildings you can enter, most of the routes are super short with maybe 3 trainers on them
@@PewterCityGymLeaderBrock So you filled the pokedex and played through the story and post game?? I think you may have lied.
@@Mr.Japlay the story and postgame which is what "beating the game" means. I'm near 300 in Pokedex completion but it doesnt really matter for me considering I have a whole living national dex sitting in Pokemon Bank
Tim Etters 9 seems a bit long especially for everything you claim to have done. The reason I finished it in 15 hours was I spent about 3 hours in the wild area before the first gym and therefore had massively overleveled Pokémon the rest of the game. I only finished with 56 in my Pokédex, so 300 in 6 hours less seems a bit excessive
I’ve been waiting for this since I heard sword and shield were a thing. Good video!!
The entire video I thought you were gonna do the whole dex lol
yeah i feel lied to when it said every pokemon in sword/shield its more like 40% of the pokemon in the 2 games
I kinda thought that too
@@KoKo-ry1xs only new galar pokemon, does not catch pokemon with galar forms
MegaKBang it's how he's done it for every catch em all, lol. He even says "Catch every *new* Pokémon added to Sword and Shield".
Chandler Hupp he titled it “every Pokémon” though, he clickbaited and it’s stupid
First Werster blazed through so fast he was uploading post-game footage before I even saw main game footage or streams, and now something I'd expect a few years from now has come out in a few days. What are these speedrunning madmen even made of?!
then they wonder why they hate the games lol they wait a year for the new game to come out to then rush trough it instead of slowly exploring all the hidden things in the game and enjoying every part of it, considering how easy these games are its very easy to speedrun it lol
I just finished my dex last night, and it feels amazing.
Me and my brother did it with a end time of around 27 hours in game time but then again we didn't hard focus it until later. Great video keep up the great work.
Don’t call Ball Guy weird or they won’t find the body
I’ve never watched a video for 33 minutes straight so good
Damn you already did that in SwSh? Impressive

You and MahDryBread are my favorite Pokémon challenge content creators
Just got a switch lite and sword.. finally. Lol had a switch on release but sold it, currently having some inspiration from you to bring over all my old mons across from gen 3. It’s been a weird trip but on my way there 👌 great vid
22:46 "she challenges us to one of the least difficult matches of the game" that milotic was the only pokemon that ever made me struggle while i played the game
Then you sucked-
It was a pushover. Especially when a steel type can take out two. A ground type can take out another two and mitotic isn't that difficult.
@@glam4663 not for my team :D they all got one or two shotted after that i exchanged 2 pokemon to cover more
I look forward to your gen 9 catch 'em all/prof oak challenge in november.
P.S. stunky owns bede hard.
Can’t wait for professor oak challenge 😂
It’s crazy to think that in atleast 2 months we should have the trailers for the next Pokémon game
why though? do you really think it's a smart idea to release yet another yearly game?
Bruh I thought you meant all 400 I was like “I’ll pray for you at your funeral” 💀😂
Bruh I thought you meant all 400 I was like “I’ll pray for you at your funeral” 💀😂
Just wait for Professor Oak's challenge. In that one he'd have to catch all 400.
I actually had no idea the gyms were different in each version… Neat
When you were talking about bede I thought you were going to say "we meet up with the trainer we met at the ceremony our grandma"
Professor Oak Challenge is gonna be HELL. The Wild Area is MASSIVE, it's basically Pokemon: Breath of the Wild. Good luck man :^)
i tried to speed-run this game and it took me just over 24 hours.
Yeah, you have to fight most trainers or else you get wrecked by the next big battle.
John works so fast on these wtf. amazing
These vids inspired me to actually complete the Pokédex with my friend this gen, and we finished it on Tuesday after getting the game Friday. Yikes flskfmsn
It was a pain in the ass to get goomy though. took me fuckin 3 and a half HOURS.
@@ktargentum It took me 4 hours to find Drampa. Mi friend with the other version found Tortunator in 2 minutes...
K19 bc I actually don’t have a functioning 3DS
912zap y’know that’s funny bc all my low percentage encounters like eiscue and drampa I got really quickly but goomy took me FOREVER.
Why is this video a better plot summary than 90% of the reviews for this game
20:34 why is there a Pikachu in that Cramorant's mouth??? What??
Edit: nvm it has a weird ass ability
Man i was trying to avoid any kind of spoilers till i complete the game but I'm dying to see this video
@johnstone this game has like the least amount of story it hardly gets in the way but that’s just my opinion you don’t really have to go out of your way for anything in this game
But keep in mind this is just a small not pick and I love your vids nonetheless
Nit pick

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but at 29:30, you didn't need a Poké Doll to flee there, as Ghost-types can run from battle guaranteed no matter what. (Ghost-types can't be trapped by things like Mean Look or Shadow Tag either.)
Dude John just pulled out a new challenge within half a month of release.
If i could do this challenge id probably not sleep haha but great job dude
Heck, I really want to watch this but I can’t get spoiled. Guess I’ll have to watch this later :/
same
I'll be honest with you, having played the games, there isn't anything that occurs, story-wise, that anyone with a double-digit number of brain cells couldn't figure out. While this story is "long" as John puts it, it certainly isn't deep or thought-provoking in terms of mystery.
PoyntFury I care more about being spoiled from the new Pokémon. I don’t even know what the starters’ evolutions look like, so I’d prefer to just experience it when I play it
Same, into the bookmarks
@@PoyntFury Like every game

Johnstone: Picks Grookey and Scorbunny
Sobble: *sob*
I'd really like to see you catch all the pokemon in the pokedex for sword and shield. That's what I'm working on now. The rewards for it suck compared to older games, but I'm having fun doing it.
