Here's an idea, each person secretly picks left, middle or right - if you match, that's the one you both get, if not, you both get the position neither of you picked.
Suggestion for when the new/old mons get added to the randomizer, I would love to see a classic "choose your own starter" style video, just pick what you want from the returning/new mons and have some fun with them.
Hoopa is one of those mons where they have great physical AND special sets, they got good stats for both, can run banded or specs, and they got good coverage and stab for both. Its a really heavy hitter, thats balanced by its weakness of uturn, one of the most common pivot moves in pokemon.
@@EnglishAaron its better to just run either or. Just maximize on one stat for the most dmg. Also nahh, its not the frailest mon ever, it can take non bug move hits, still not worth it to spend EVs on non offensive stats. So just go max atk and speed. I dont like Life Orb Hoopa much, i much rather run choice or AV. Best i still think is specs, just cause the coverage it has is way better, but he does have the stronger stab in phys, so take that as you may.
I just wanna take a moment to appreciate Luke censoring the strobbing effect when his pokemon was glitching out. Very appareciated and not smth many youtubers would think to do!
I really appreciate the covering of the glitched texture to be safe. Strobe stuff gets left with no warning a lot, which can be really dangerous. I’m glad to see it being taken seriously. /gen
@@Clawleone "better to be safe than sorry" is what people say use that don't actually care enough about safety. If they actually cared about it they would look actually into a problem to see if it is safe. The porygon episode had a huge intense blue, red strobing. The flickering that you see here is much less intense than the flickering of normal CRTs during the time of the porygon episode anyway
@@bonnome2 while I agree that the strobing in the episode had much more strobing, but I severely disagree with your notion on “better safe than sorry” being for people who don’t care about safety 💀 maybe, it’s people who care but are not as informed on the specifics of what can cause harm to a person maybe…? That’s why people often put warning in their videos with what I would call < moderate strobing or flashing. Idk tho, I am in fact, not informed 🫡
I think a good idea with this concept is that you both pick a spot at the same time. If you both pick the same spot (left, middle, right) then you get that Pokemon. If you both choose different spots, then you have to take the one spot you both didn't say. That way, there's strategy in picking maybe not the best Pokemon just in case your opponent makes it obsolete by choosing a different spot, or you can decide if you want to tell your opponent where your better Pokemon are so you can coordinate with each other or betray that trust.
It might be cool if each person got a randomized 18 pokemon and you get to arrange which 3 starters are seen by your opponent in which order. Possibly try to mind control your opponent into not picking better mons later by the options you gave earlier
I love how Luke's team was blue coded and Rich's team was red coded. You should do a color coded challange next where you have to catch pokemon of one colour, for example red has to be the primary colour of the pokemon.
I was flabbergasted when I saw you were not using Dire Claw on Sneasler, which is WAY better than Poison Jab. It has a 50% chance to either Poison, Para or put to Sleep! And deals the same damage with the same accuracy!
I don't know how fun it'd be but I think it'd be interesting for when you randomize abilities, to only randomize them between abilities that give immunities. Like Flash Fire, Earth Eater, Volt/Water Absorb, etc.
11:14 Yeah, I ran the math. That was a guaranteed OHKO with full investment into HP and DEF, so that wasn't going to withstand the U-Turn at all! Edit: My calculation was not including either Unburden's effect of using up the item OR Life Orb(Which was used), so he had NO chance of withstanding that U-Turn.
Video idea:Randomised starters and you choose the opponents Pokémon.After you both have 6 Pokémon you can choose the items and ability's for the opponent so they have the worst team possible
Made a slight oops before the battle started, it showed the grayed and red pokemon so I knew the outcome before it started. still a fun fight to watch.
Still don't know this new face that has been popping up but he started off rough in some videos ( no hate) but he has been getting so much more entertaining so props to him!
Hoopa unbounds physical defense is paper and sneezlers base attack is super high so it makes sense why hoopa went down to one u-turn especially since it is quad weak to bug moves
I am curious what a choose your starter cagelock would look like. The starter selection would be similar to these videos but I am curious if they would catch 3 then release 2 or just pick the first, second, or third encounter as the next Pokémon to join the team… Edit what about if every encounter was a horde and pick which Pokémon they catch from the horde

This is exactly what i was thinking!
Ooooo
I would do that but if they dont get it right they get the position the other selected
That’s genius!
I love the defeated “oh” when Luke hears about the hoopa unbound
I looked for this comment immediately

Is it best with a mixed set with a life or to be able to do both, Just invest in it's defenses?

@@EnglishAaron there's little point in investing defense, the type combination has ZERO resistances (only an immunity to psychic)
The thing is Hoopa is even BETTER with Tera because it gets a lot of great coverage and you can tera out of that Bug 4x weakness
It's also slow and has paper thin def

It's not nearly intense enough to be dangerous
@@bonnome2 it’s better to be safe than sorry. People have made that assumption before and been wrong. For example, the infamous Porygon episode

I love seeing Luke's mishap at the start, and VO Luke turning it into a transition for the sponsor segment, chuckling a bit while doing so 😅😅😅

"Hehehehe. You got played, son! I got a Hisuian Sneasel! What did you get, CHUMP?!"
"Oh, I got a Hoopa Unbound."
"... *Oh* ..." 🙃🙃🙃

7:15 the defeat in the oh
Bro 8:54 had me dying 😂😂😂
Bro became a sad Muppet
That Flash Fire ability on the Alolan Ninetales was a pretty fun surprise 😅
Funny how Rich got back to back 3 stage fairies, back to back croc Pokemon, and back to back mythicals
I love how Luke's team was blue coded and Rich's team was red coded. You should do a color coded challange next where you have to catch pokemon of one colour, for example red has to be the primary colour of the pokemon.
8:04 Luke got a fox, hound and a wolf. That’s awesome
That was one of the best episode I've seen!(There are all good don't worry XD) More with RaidAway+ please! You make a fantastic duo!
8:34 Had Me Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Heart Out
11:06 the cat-edit was amazing in so many ways - thanks a lot
This would be cool for a doubles battle format. Soul link choosing your team with your partner, versus another duo.
3:47
"I have a dragon type against your fairy type..."
uhhhhhhhh i dont think thats how that works
Like just foe the depressed " da da dut da da duhh" 🤣🤣🤣
yooooo haven’t seen this format in a while! good to see it again
One of my favorite types of these videos. Please keep it up!!
Cracked that Rich got supreme overlord on the Mon that he chose over the KingsGambit
4:36 referring Roy’s team
18:15 The Ability of another Pokemon he could have chosen.
The coin gifted Luke the flip and he betrayed it by deferring.
Two Femme Fatale Fairies, two Macho Male Crocs, and two Non-Binary Mythicals.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
I'd love to see this concept but with yall choosing for eachother
I recently found your channel but you're very entertaining. I really enjoy these battle videos. Your editing, the jokes you make with it, is great
1:17 gotta love it XD
Idea:
Two truths, one lie, but your opponent is picking your team.
8:16 BABEYYYYYYY I LOVE VULPIXXXXXXXX
And with the hoopa unbound, a gameboyluke died today
"Here comes a play rough, and a cuddle" something you can say before pokemon and before sex
That's some high praise coming from Luke there at the end! You love to see it!
Oh my gosh! Y'all are too funny! 🤣😂🤣 That was a great battle though! Like down to the wire I had no idea who would win! GG!
Love all of your videos Luke! They always make me happier when I watch them and look forward to them! Hope you keep doing what you do! 😄
Waiting for the “choose your pokemon from the imitated sound” video.
It's crazy how that cat just one shotted hoopa unbound actually insane
Dude got two violent fairies, two crocs and two mythicals😂
Hoopa confined isn't weak to big Luke. This is your job. Now get it right.
I love how undertale's sound design was so good RUclipsrs are still using its music and sound effects like 8 years later
I was flabbergasted when I saw you were not using Dire Claw on Sneasler, which is WAY better than Poison Jab.
It has a 50% chance to either Poison, Para or put to Sleep! And deals the same damage with the same accuracy!
Anyone else notice the fact they had a blue vs red sort of theme LOL
And the trainer outfits coordinates with the theme too lol
Oh that was such a good battle I’m loving all these close battles from everyone lately
Great video and battle keep up the great work
8:56 i fcking died man ahahahahah
I don't know how fun it'd be but I think it'd be interesting for when you randomize abilities, to only randomize them between abilities that give immunities. Like Flash Fire, Earth Eater, Volt/Water Absorb, etc.
I think a "middle evolutions only" double battle would be cool
I miss the Cagelocks or 2v2 Cagelocks. The good ol days. Still love the content tho
Gotta love luke bringing two heavy duty boots 😂
The defeated theme music was hilarious.
i cant believe he left the kingambit just to get the supreme overlord w anyway
Great way to end the year off with a pretty tight battle.
The spirit bomb was personal😂🤣🤣💀
You and RA+ are always my favorite to watch
11:14 Yeah, I ran the math. That was a guaranteed OHKO with full investment into HP and DEF, so that wasn't going to withstand the U-Turn at all!

11:15-11:25😂Crazy
Gameboy Luke, if ya didn’t know he has two signature moves, hyper space hole and hyper space fury
Yes, but only one can be used per form
This is such a good idea
Video idea:Randomised starters and you choose the opponents Pokémon.After you both have 6 Pokémon you can choose the items and ability's for the opponent so they have the worst team possible
Happy New Year Luke 🔥🔥🔥
Nobody talking about dancing cat sneasler tho 😂😂😂
Ooo a cookie that's not just rebranded and packaged by a content creator? Already sounds buyable
Fuecoco is the bestest no- thought boi. ❤
Excuse me, that's Numel who claims that spot.
@@SC_3water starters is better
Gonna be entirely real, him getting two mythicals is just like, I guess Shenron granted his wishes cause of that dope shirt lmao
Oh my god, is that THE Rich Raidaway?!
No shot Luke I just learned we share the same bday. I will definitely wish you a happy bday dude
Love the Hypland hoodie 😍
Happy New Year everyone!
Goated editor 11:10

Ikr.
I can binge watching these all day 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
This one was HYPE
Bro they spoiled the result at 9:02 xd
What’s wrong with sisatea is because it’s Not VGC? 2:57
Hey Luke! Do 1 more legendary theme starter randomizer, but include all the DLC legendaries as well!
Raid’s energy was great!!
This was such an amazing duo 😂😂 one of my favorite videos you’ve had
Absolutely phenomenal battle 🎉
Still don't know this new face that has been popping up but he started off rough in some videos ( no hate) but he has been getting so much more entertaining so props to him!
"SPIRIT BOMB!!!!" proceeds to Kamehameha
Ritch had the op luck with then boys lol
Dude got 2 Cuties, 2 Crocs, and 2 Myths... broken
Luke and Rich I love you! This is my message of personal support to you!
Hoopa unbounds physical defense is paper and sneezlers base attack is super high so it makes sense why hoopa went down to one u-turn especially since it is quad weak to bug moves
RAIDAWAY won his first battle or maybe his second? What a level up
We need to get you two in a cage locke series with each other, it would be so entertaining. The Pokemon pro vs the Pokemon casual
"kinda like a soul link but not at all" lmao
You can see the results of who wins at 9:02 of your recap.
Happy New Year 2024 guys
What was the music soundtracks you used during the battle?
Yooo over 1k likes in less than an hour?! Gzz Lukey!
Epic battle this was
I am curious what a choose your starter cagelock would look like. The starter selection would be similar to these videos but I am curious if they would catch 3 then release 2 or just pick the first, second, or third encounter as the next Pokémon to join the team…
Edit what about if every encounter was a horde and pick which Pokémon they catch from the horde
Happy new year 🎊
