Using Only 1 Letter to Choose Our Starter Pokemon

- Today @DonShnack and I choose our starters only knowing the first letter of their name. The twist is we can only teach our Pokemon Moves and Abilities that also begin with that letter.

That's a genuinely creative concept, I'm getting a bit fatigued with the amount of rather worn out challenges that every bigger poketuber posts now so this is amazing and refreshing
Shadypenguinn also did this too but with abilities being the same letter (he recently uploaded his video too).
@@milesshaw9059damn that’s a crazy coincidence lmao
Doesn’t Callum have around 500k subs in his main channel? The only ones that I know that are bigger and do these kind of challenges are Shady, Vinny and Luke, maybe Patterz too? Unless I’m completely in the dark of anyone else who’s bigger, there aren’t a lot lol
They probably just stole the idea from the Smogon om, alphabet cup
@@omefrfr 'stole' how dramatic are u
Geomancy Gardevoir would've gone crazy if it didn't die instantly
For anyone wondering what the 5th J-move is in Pokémon S/V it is "Jump Kick". Obviously Jump Kick is outclassed by Hi Jump Kick, so it actually was quietly removed from being a move since Generation 8 (Sun and Moon was the last game to see any Pokémon still able to use the move).
And in their infinite wisdom, GF failed to replace Jump Kick with High Jump Kick in the movesets of Dodrio, Stantler, and Sawsbuck, who now all have diddly squat for fighting type move coverage. (The deer get double kick LOL. Dodrio gets Low Kick, which is OK...I guess.)
Marshadow also lost Jump Kick, but it has better options, so it gets a pass.
Removing the move took pointless effort and made already terrible pokémon even worse. I'd give GF a Dunce hat, but they're so stupid I doubt they'd be able to figure out how to put it on.
Hoodcal, you might want to know that Judgement takes the plate's typing. Even if it's not Arceus using the move. Therefore a good idea for Jirachi would have been to turn judgement into stab steel with the plate.
100 (BP) * 1.2 (Plaque) * 1.5 (STAB) = an attack at 180 on steel type (or psy).
Please do this again, definitely stretch of creativity and remembering. So many random egg moves and hidden abilities to think of
If the Don had chosen Swalot, it could have run Shell Side Arm, Shell Smash, Shore Up and Spore with the ability either Simple or Serene Grace, give it a White Herb or Leftovers and Poison Tera for a just in case damage boost
If someone gets Electrode, could’ve had earth eater , Tera ground or fire with earth power, energy ball, encore and eruption. Imagine…
Yo, Tera electric, earth eater, with esper wing to raise speed, electro ball, energy ball for coverage, and endure/earth power/encore/electro web depending on the need. Just a speed demon
Ohhh yea any E pokemon with Earth eater...
Opportunist Ogerpon with oblivion wing and outrage.
As someone who appreciates alliteration, I find this video valuable.
Username checks out
I would pick S just for Sticky webs, Stealth rocks and Spikes.
Then Speed boost just for fun.
Contrary close combat crawdaunt would go hard
The Don and Cal in a video I'm excited to watch this
It's all for fun and this was actually such a cool concept and fun battle!! But my competitive brain was just like... why did Don not just bullet punch again? xD Did he not just kill the Sneasler?
Wait.. as I'm typing this, did he not know Silk Thread was just protect with a speed lower and thought it just stopped priority moves or something?
No, but because his Pokemon is now slower than mine my sucker punch would go before his bullet punch.
@@HoodlumCallum OHHHHHH. Wow. Y’all got that. xD Turns out I do not have the competitive brain.
This is one of the better gimmicks I’ve seen
I like this! Mixing up the formula a bit is nice.
LETS GO ITS THE DON!!!!!!
Genuine, great video, the concept was very nice and creative and I loved the energy between you two!
This is a very interesting gimmick indeed. Hope to see more from you guys 👀
Yveltal be like: Yawn.
4:15 Ok, but Ogerpon with Overheat and Origin Pulse and Oblivion Wing... With Opportunist, Overgrowth or Orichalcum Pulse. Even Own Tempo would be nice, if he got Intimidate Pokemon.
18:20 If you did just spam Bullet Punch, you probably would do better, no?
Your enthusiasm is through the roof🤩
always a joy to watch cal battle
Best then we battle idea to date, creativity is through the roof and you love to see Don pop in to clap
Love this concept
3:12 Basculin is better then Palofin here because it doesnt get it's Zero to Hero ability. Their stats are pretty comparable. Basculin has more attack and slightly less speed but Palofin has more bulk.
I think B moves are better then the P moves. A lot more variety.
Pure Power on Palofin tho would have be pretty nice at 10 points higher then Medicham. Basculin gets Beast Boost and Battle Bond tho, so still great abilities.
7 minutes into this video i finally realise "OHHHH THIS IS CALLUM HOODLUMSCRAFTY" bro i was a viewer back during generation 6 and only just got back into watching pokemon, glad to see you still on the grind!
LOL
Trop Kick Trev getting slept on
I dig this idea
The Don said Grass Knot and immediately got 3 Gras types on his screen 🌿
You and the Don do well together!
Ogerpon fire mask with o-pulse? Might have went crazy but the moves would’ve been garbage for it
What a fun challenge
a video with THE DON? Gonna be a certified hood classic
did no one see that the alolan diglett was shiny, that's kinda funny, because i dont think regular diglett has hair...
Raichu with rising voltage would have been nasty
W Hood Cal. Common Hood Cal W
Bruh!! Simple Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, Stealth Rocks, Slash Sneasler is cracked... With Held Item: Scope Lens (Also with S, unintentially).
So many Cs but no contrary/close combat I wanted it so bad😭
damn true
Now imagine if it also applied to held items
And natures
Jk
Imagine if they stuck to the concept... annihilape with chilling neigh🤣
I get why you evolved Pichu to Raichu but imagine a Light Ball + Pure Power, Plasma Fists Pikachu. Walking in with a *base* attack state of 220.
The DON
THAT'S THE DON (guy who was told about this video on a don stream)
Sime seriously spicy stuff here
Sime
Oh this is neat
YO IS THAT THE DON?!?!?!
Hearing you say Zee instead of zed through me off😂😂😂
He said it correctly😤
@@Condor-gb1xp not for me. I don't say zee. I say zed
14:15 S-Sneaseler, S-Sword dance?! how did you forget that sneaseler and sword dance both start with S?!
Speed boost too. And sticky webs.
I didn’t forget, I have a different play style than “set up and sweep” lol
Bro got the colab with Atrioc
AS ONE NO FUCKIN WAY HAHAHAH
You should have done not just final evo it's cooler if you get a pokemon like steenee and have the tsareena with all s moves
Does scarlet and violet have lan mode?
I wanted to see orichalcum pulse overheat ogerpon hearthflame.
I think it would be funnier if you use name of the pokemon on screen than name of fully evolved form
Why didn't you spam Bullet punch ? It was sure win.
Untrue. Sucker punch would now be faster due to lowering speed.
@@NeonWafflez707 I'm pretty sure the moves don't have the same level of priority.
They do. They’re both +1. My sucker punch would’ve went first.
Good thing no one got Eevee
his annihilape had chilling neigh
It had As One, which gives him chilling neigh
@@HoodCal oh yeaaa i was not thinking😂😂
pawmot pure power phantom force play rough poison jab hurts seeing that go
I like the fact you are still doing videos but just decided to change your name to your actual name rather then your what I’m assuming favourite Pokémon name. (Scraffty) (is Gen 5 your fav Gen?)
No parental bond?
wow i love markiplier!!!!! I can’t believe you know him!!!!!!!
Why didn’t he go for another Bullet Punch? That would’ve turned the tides methinks. It almost seems like someone always throws on these “challenge” type videos…
I was faster because of the speed drop, meaning my sucker punch would go first regardless of what he did
Ogarpon has a 100% being female
Why does Anilape have chilling reign?
As One
i clicked for poliwrath
8:19 No physical ghost move that starts with an A for adaptability? Doesn’t Anger fist start with an A?
You mean Rage Fist? And no, the only "A" ghost moves are Astral Barrage (special on a physical attacker?) and Astonish (extremely weak)
Imagine astral Lance anihallape
That a Special move
Let's gooo🎉
Hey cal if youre looking for more people to work with i know my friend @RoninDiaries is looking to get to work with people and hes big into pokemon!
