Starter Pokemon Battle Royale 💥 Collab With  

Pikachu prooves that the power of friendship is the most powerfer thing of all! ... well besides a bird I guess.

Love the detail of swampert being so freaking op, but being defeated by touching some grass

Big shoutout to Swampert for utterly devastating the entire battlefield to an unprecedented degree AND going hard in a 2v1 against some Meta bois... Only to die to a particularly sharp blade of grass. Truly the most accurate portrayal of any Pokemon in all of your videos.

I just love that Grovyle bounced immediately. Explorers of the Sky is just a gem in the Pokémon franchise

Everybody talking bout how op Swampert is, but can we talk about how cute he looks just chillin in the sand at 2:54

I am convinced that the only reason why rillaboom was the one to take out swampert was because Terminal likes the monkey scream sound effect

Torchic accidentally dying and becoming Skeledirge's new bird was such a creative touch

I love Chesnaught being completely unfazed by Meowsacrada’s bombs, and just launching it into the atmosphere.

Honestly I love the story Bannette, Mawile, and the Kangaskan baby have going on. A small unit bound together by being displaced in space and time, love it.

The fact that Sobble came in 5th place proves how overpowered being able to go invisible is

Respects to swampert. Aside from torterra he was surprisingly strong enough to break half of the island

My favorite moments: - Pikachu surviving the initial drop. 'He finally has a chance!', I thought to myself. From OOB in 2 scenarios to 2nd place is quite the upset! - Inceneroar's Throat Chop to Smash Back Throw combo against Primarina. The timing of it all was disrespectful and hilarious! - The extended 3-way showdown of Samurott, Infernape, and Decidueye. Samurott got his vengeance, while Decidueye clearly didn't learn his lesson the first time. - Swampert throughout the whole fight. Especially when holding its ground against the remaining Fire types.

Hydro pump coming out of Blastoise's head instead of the actual cannons is always funny

7:16 this bit goes so hard. The low health track plus boss music is so intense 😂

The fact you guys added Prof. Oak laughing at bad puns is making me smile too much. I know this whole series has a huge attention to detail, but to add even that little detail just really goes the extra mile.

I love the lore continuation this time. Sudowudo getting the Pokemon out of the simulation is going to lead to something exciting.

7:41 absolutely brilliant giving Blaziken the Marvel Vs Capcom Super/Hyper Move animation haha

This had me screaming at my phone tbh, I picked Torchic as my starter for ORAS and watching the ending was like watching the Super Bowl

Props to Swampert for holding off the fire alliance all on his own

With a decent type coverage in Water/Ground, and a large AoE moveset with Earthquake, Surf AND Muddy Water, Swampert was easily the play of the game

I just love how a few things are still acknowledged Like Decidueye vs. Samurott vs. Infernape from the 1st ever Battle Royale, now with Decidueye & Samurott's Hisuian forms, Chesnaught is still saying "DISGUSTING!", Inteleon still being a stealthy sniper from the Gigantamax BR, Sableye is in the background like the Sableye the guy wanted at daycare from Babies BR, is amazing!

Blaziken actually being my favourite starter since Pokemon Sapphire, my first pokemon game, this really brings a tear to my eye :')

3:12 It’s so cute that Litten and Sprigatito are just chilling together on Torterra’s back

“Pikachu toughed it out so you wouldn’t feel sad” is officially one of my favorite bits of animation

As someone who’s first ever starter was mudkip I was very happy with how far Swarmpert made it, sometimes it really felt like that in the games

I wish we got to see more of typhlosion, but seeing swampert hold its own against the fire types was pretty cool at least

I'd enjoy seeing a regional form battle royale (with Alolan forms, Galarian forms, Hisuian forms, and Paldean forms, along with *maybe* the evolutions exclusive to the regional forms) and a Paradox Pokemon battle royale.

7:57 Pickachu laugh is just a masterpiece he is more like a Deadpool 😂😂😂

I think it would be fun to see a regional form battle in the future!

I love how Grovyle didn't even get defeated, he just left. It being the Mystery Dungeon Grovyle is a really nice little detail too.

Love how you put Pikachu and Eevee in the Flying Secret Technique machine from Let’s Go! I always love the many references you put in these videos.

For that my boy Swampert didn't win the Battle Royale he atleast scored the most kills, if we were including final evolutions, but I think even with the non fully evolved starters he won. Also why is he looking so damn adorable in this style? He's like a big Mudkip I love it.

I LOVE how Skeldridge looks in your art style!

I don’t wanna have to wait until next year to find out what the end tags are about… but I know the best art takes time. Amazing as always!

This was so much better than I imagined!, The animation is incredible and Smooth !

Given the descriptions of some Pokémon moves, this is honestly how I imagine most pokemon battles leave their surroundings.

Swampert taking on the entire fire type roster himself is tough

PIKACHus laugh while getting beat within an inch of its life freaking broke me 😂😂😂

The amount of time and effort that probably went into this is amazing. Great job!

That was hilarious as always!! Love all the callbacks to prior battle royales like Blastoise's animation, Chesnaught's DISGUSTANG and both regular and Hisuian Decidueye getting beaten up by Samurott and Infernape again. Also, what happend to the subtitles?? Are they gone for good? :o

Mad respect to Swampert, he may not have won but he had by far the largest kill count in any Pokémon Battle Royale only arguably being outdone by Arceus. What a legend

4:13 I like the detail of the island resembling a Pokeball once all the disasters happened, with the crater in the middle being the button

I love how the announcer said "GAME" before primarina was even off screen. Its like her fate was sealed the minute she was grabbed.

Huge respect to Sobble who is the only none final evolution pokemon who manage to stay alive when the only ones left are the final evolution ones 😅 I guess being a coward really pays off 🤣

Professor Oak laughing at Lockstin’s jokes at the end were hilarious.

Glad to see that H-Samurott avenged his modern form And both Decidueyes still being the punching bag 😂

The fact that Grovyle ditches after 3 seconds with a timegear because he has to finish his mission is so in character. 10/10

Glad you kept it authentic to the game by having Blastoise shoot water from its forehead instead of its cannons.

I'm always enjoying the video!!! It's so much fun because my favorite Pokemon, Blaziken, is full of charm. I'm looking forward to seeing which Pokemon will appear next. I'm looking forward to the next video!!

Kind-of sad Serperior didn't get more screentime, and Snivy and Servine don't seem to show up at all, but other than that it was awesome.

Swampert is now one of my favorite starters thanks to this, deserved the win

This fight was more chaotic than the last one Prompts to the animator, great job man....

Pikachu just staying in the air until someone challenges them has so much 'I'm the mascot, I have privilege' energy😂

I show these videos to my dad and he absolutely loves them! Keep up the good work😀

I love how swampert was destroying stuff like he was an earth bender

The art is beautiful! All the little guys are designed so well! Great work!

To everyone who doesn't think Eevee and Pikachu aren't starters: Eevee and Pikachu had their own games where you can start with Pikachu or Eevee depending on the game. The games were let's go Pikachu or let's go Eevee and depending on the version that's your starter. Also in the anime ash had Pikachu as his starter and someone else had Eevee as a starter(forgot their name) and that's just how it is.

I would love to see a Pokémon battle royale based off of that one debate on the internet, One billion lions vs. one of every Pokémon. It would be really interesting and funny to see.

Love how Grovyle just survives and escapes the battle using a time gear, probably going to the past.

Very proud of Eevee for making it to 4th place!

Amazing animation as always! Also, what happened to Chesnaught? The last time it was seen was when it hit Meowscarada with an uppercut.

I love how the two typhloshions just chill and hang out until Charizard ruins the fun

The fight between Blaziken and Pikachu at the end gives me Super Smash Bros vibes and thinking about it makes me want Blaziken to join the fighter roster for that series even more than I do desperately. I've been waiting for a very long time as a life-long dream for it happen, and two games in, it never did, but I'm still keeping my hopes up starting in the next game for that time to come. I even wrote a letter to Nintendo asking about it and received a positive reply back to help me wait even longer for when it will finally happen. With that said, I will always have my respect for the Gen 3 starters and how they've participated in this royale.

5:31 I hope everyone noticed that this battle was the same as shown in other videos But the ending was different 😂

Love how Incineroar wanted to join in, but then recalled he's part dark type

I’ve always loved these animations. Keep up the good work!

I love that my favorite starter is the winner of this bout, but that final battle was hilariously accurate.

I wonder what that post-credit scene is implying. Either Oak's machine is capable of materialising data/accessing PUs, or all of these fights involve real Pokemon in a digital fight (unlikely, considering things like Grovyle nopeing out of the arena). Maybe the next Battle Royal Post-Credit scene will hint at whatever the Speed Demon has been plotting?

I haven’t played Legends: Arceus yet but ever since I caught the SV event H-Typhlosion I fell in love with since day one so after seeing this masterpiece I have GOT to see the explanation video to get behind H-Typhlosion’s lore! I love these videos they’re always super creative 🔥🔥🔥

Who else maintains that Swampert was robbed of a rightful victory? Damn Rillaboom.

Swampert being the last bastion against the fire pokémon (and managing to hold them back very well too!) is a massive win for me I'm so proud of my boy

Some reference notes: In 0:11, you can see one of the Poké Ball have a different shape - that's a Poké Ball from Hisui. 0:30 has a Beast ball - this is a reference to Poipole being one of these Ultra Beasts (debutted in Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon). Poipole however get sucked into an Ultra Wormhole just so it won't count as a contestant in this battle royale 0:36 OG (Johto) Typhlosion and Hisuian Typhlosion pointing at each another for looking similar - this meme has been actually used from the Mega Battle Royale (when Latios and Latias after both forced to mega evolve, points at each another). 0:56 Poor Charmander. You already know about the story about why it should avoid the water, and it's flame tail. While Charizard fights (Johto) Typhlosion and Blastoise fights Feraligatr, on the other hand Venusaur and Meganium are... just there, vibing. 1:16 Reference to Extreme Evoboost Z-move from Gen 7. You can also see the missing poster with Sylveon on it. Probably because Sylveon is a pacifist and refuses to fight. Nah just kidding, Sylveon is unavailable in every game where Eevee is an starter (this includes Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, I think?) The Pikachu and Eevee that spawned with balloons are the starter pokemon from Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!, respectively. Note that those two cannot evolve (ironically the Partner Eevee is seeking for one of these evolution stones) 1:41 same Blastoise sound as in the OG Pokemon Battle Royale 2:05 Blaziken, Infernape, and Emboar. What do they share in common? Fire/Fighting type combination. Oddly enough, none eliminate each another, you'll see later in the video... 2:12 Incineroar backs off from it. He doesn't want to be on the losing matchup (Incineroar is Fire/Dark type, and Fighting type Dark's weakness) 2:28 Throat Chop disables sound-based moves on hit. Coincidentally, Primarina has a signature sound move. 2:51 This is where the battle starts hitting it's climax. With something that affects the entire simulation island, of course. 3:54 Legendary Pokemon Battle Royale flashback. Coincidentally also drowns other pokemon with such flood. 4:33 Hisuian Typhlosion being the "Gengar" of this battle royale (well, I mean it's a Ghost-type, for dear sake!) 5:16 Uh, this seems to be a far-fetched reference to Pokemon X and Y anime, the one that Charizard beats Greninja... dang it. 5:27 Oh hey, it's that scene also from the OG Battle Royale, also involving Infernape, Samurott and Decidueye. Like the original, Decidueye's arrows were ineffective, gets beaten up by Infernape and Samurott, with the former roasting the latter just like the OG. But then Hisuian Decidueye shoots arrows, which... Hisuian Samurott slashes those arrows as well. Hisuian Decidueye makes the same face as the OG Decidueye, and gets beaten up. Then Hisuian Samurott and Infernape fight each another... but this time, Hisuian Samurott wins. However, Hisuian Samurott gets attacked later by Emboar and Blaziken. I guess so much for the Fire/Fighting bros 6:37 Remember, this is the Starter Eevee from Let's Go Eevee!, which cannot evolve. 6:47 Taking you (Swampert) down with me (Rillaboom). Monke moment. " *Oke!* Now you die." 7:08 Oh hey, Partner Pikachu is back, and yes he (and yes, the Pikachu is male) just zapped Charizard into ashes, because type advantage. 7:16 David vs Goliath. "Gonna need more electricity to put out this fire." 7:28 Gen 7 Affection mechanics... 7:40 Standing here... I REALIZE... THIS IS A REFERENCE (but which one?) 7:54 Skyrim "Why won't you die!?" - I expected the Metal Gear version instead, but eh it works. 8:30 The good ol' classic Game Boy Color style battle UI. Blaziken winning is perhaps because it got the Speed Boost ability, the one first introduced as its hidden ability in Gen V, which is so overpowered, so broken, that Blaziken was the first starter Pokemon to get banned from Smogon OU, and remains Ubers for three generations straight (Gen 5 / BW, Gen 6 / XY, Gen 7 / SM). In gen 8 (SS) Blaziken isn't banned from OU, but rather banned from UU instead (ha, power creep!). To put in comparison, Greninja only got banned from OU only in Gen 6, and same story for Cinderace who got banished into Ubers in Gen 8. Coincidentally, in Gen 9 Cinderace got brought back to OU, much like Greninja who returned back to OU in Gen 7. Cinderace is literally fire-type Greninja (lmao)

Can’t wait to see the paradox pokemon battle royale once the second dlc is out!

Disappointed that Torterra or Swampert didn’t win, BUT the destruction they caused was amazing

Was rooting for mudkip from the start, life taken so soon!!!!! Swampert put up one hell of a fight :))))((((( These videos are what keep me going, never stop!

The Sinnoh starters should have gotten the friendship boosts as well due to BDSP :^)

I love how Blaziken started moving faster and faster during his fight with Pikachu. Clear nod to speed boost

I love how the 2 emo starters (Drizzle and Raboot) just got crushed by palm trees

The scene where incineroar killed primarina was perfect cause he literally used throat chop i love this effort

An headcannon like alternate version i imagined recently is one where everything is mostly the same except for one difference: Delphox Actually makes good use of their ability to foresee the future, and in it, they do much more mainly, with siding with many mons mainly so they boost all the stats like with hulk up, calm mind, agility, double team and such and have ot all baton passed, and in the end, even join Blaziken on the beat down of Let so pikachu, before there having one last one on one spar with the bird, all while fully healing the two and one final baton pass to them for the two to be equal in power, just gotta give love to our dear wizard fox and only psychic type starter so far. (hell even perhaps having them part ways with Blaziken (after they still win) and join the mons escaping oak's PC

Y’all didn’t have to put Blaziken through that much trauma just to kill a Pikachu 💀

6:26 the fact of seeing Swabble climbing on the back of Swampert is cute, unafortunately Swampert didn't won, but he won the respect ❤

Ngl, seeing Torterra being a chill dad to all the other Grass starters and Swampert absolutely kicking ass put a huge smile to my face, glad to see my two favorite starters so well represented

man, Oak laughing at the puns was so real of him

The perfect final battle doesn’t exi- ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

Nice to see some of my favorites make it far, even if they didn’t win. Infernape is my boy, and knowing it was tied for fifth is good, because I knew it wasn’t beating the chicken. (Even though it’s way better when Blaziken doesn’t have the stupid OP ability.) Rillaboom sticking around just so Swampert doesn’t win is great, since Rillaboom is one of the better grass starters. I knew that Blaziken, Swampert, Charizard and Incineroar we’re gonna make it far because of their viability, (and also favoritism by game freak in Charizard case) and I figured that The Dirge, Cinderace, Rillaboom and Infernape would make it to near the end. Would have preferred to see Infernape outlast Emboar, but I don’t hate the big pig, so having him avenge his monkey friend is cool. Probably my favorite of these so far. The mega and legends battles are up there too, but this one has some top tier moments.

Swampert was badass in this and I don't usually think that of him. Amazing video!

0:58 I was hoping the Grovyle we saw would be THAT Grovyle and I was not disappointed. Cheers! 0:53 Also RIP Charmander.

Nothing more terrifying than a Pikachu with a 100% crit rate and unable to take a fatal blow

I'm happy to see my boi Blaziken come out on top, great work on the video as always ^^

I was really hoping swampert would win, but it should only have taken a single blade of grass to kill it, because of the 4x grass weakness. Also it’d be really funny if that happened

The fact that Blastoise shoots the water from his head is brillant.

I expected Venasaur to last longer but you're right, it's not as strong as other starters either.

0:54 For those who don’t know. If the fire on Charmanders tail gets extinguished by anything, it will die.

The "Pikachu toughed it out so you wouldn't feel sad" over and over again had me on the floor, these battle royales somehow get better and better :)

Did I miss something or was Chesnaught the only fully evolved starter to be beaten offscreen?

I would love to see battles between all the Pokémon of each gen

Wow i was really surprised by charizard wasn’t expecting my favorite starter to date, to perform like that ☺️

I love the reference to the guzma vs lana fight, with incinaroar using thraot chop. One of my favorite "battles" (it wasn't a battle, it was a massacre)

Nothing beats the power of love of plot armor.
