@Martijn Zonder Achternaam or been destroyed because it has the highest stats in the game (if it might have felt easy, that's because it was 4 against 1, 2 of them having, quite literally, god-tier stats)
@Dr golden because it's a Max Raid Battle where they've implemented that all Pokeballs are Master Balls. The only time when this is not the case is if you joined a Max Raid Battle
I'm guessing that since the eternamax form can't be used in regular battles, the eternamax form glitches in the overworld, preventing it from being encountered
I swear, these guys always know how to keep things entertaining and I love them for it. I certainly never would've been able come up with something like this
Wow, that ending though! OOF! That’s possibly the most heartbreaking ending to a John-Michael Cup video ever. John had victory at his grasp, but literally the game just said no. I can only guess what others have said, since Eternamax Eternatus’s actual body is up in the air that’s probably where it’s hitbox is. The hand I guess doesn’t count.
I knew Mikey was going to win the moment I saw that Eternatus. That thing likely doesn't have a hit box, and even if it does, it'll take John to a Dynamax raid and Mikey was already at the final route so John was screwed either way.
Again it would have been nice too see some score board along the way, showing how many legendaries you both got and which Gen you still needed to get :)
its a special battle, emax eternatus cant be battled outside the story mission, no battle starts if found in the wild. base eternatus would be fine but not emax
Another installment in my favorite series! Seriously love the dynamic you guys have. Will there be a John Michael Cup 2 after the first winner is crowned?
This is the coolest one so far! Love the idea of this video, and gives the entire map some love! Honestly, I wish this was how they distributed the legends for this game. Like what they did for the Swords of Justice, but more random. Would’ve been really cool.
I’d kind of like to see a catching challenge in one of the spinoffs such mystery dungeon (whoever gets kecleon should just give up immediately) or Ranger (that’d be interesting since some Pokemon require specific field moves to be catchable).
For the next one, Feesh should be wild and take the place of one of the legendaries, but you should set the Feesh spawn rate really down. Maybe that should be a rule in all challenges... Feesh can be used whatever you're doing!
Once Gen 9 stuff has mods, I'd LOVE to see someone hide both 8 new spikes AND a new cave with some hidden mystery Pokemon (probably Drowzee), and have you try to race to see who finds all the new spikes and whatever Pokemon gets hidden behind the new door. For added fun, if you knock the Pokemon out (or it uses explosion and somehow knocks itself out), all the spikes get randomized into totally new locations.
This made my day LOL! Seeing all the those legendary then getting to the last one which you can't capture because its in a different form... the pain but great match!
Another amazing video! Very entertaining and unique challenge! I would love to see more New Pokemon Snap challenges like finding all the eeveelutions in Pokemon Snap would be really cool! Thanks for another great vid!🎉
I had a really hard day at work and this video is legitimately healing me, I love watching y'all so much. edit: MIKEY I KNOW YOU DIDN'T JUST START SINGING THE CBAT SONG NOOOOO
The "buddy I love you" when talking about how much Mikey hates how John says Galar is just so genuine and pure
@Steven Kurtz Cool i guess, i do
Right
John got absolutely cheated and it’s hilarious! Eternatus just went “Nope! Screw you John I can’t be caught!” 😂
@Hoangnam Pham kokk

@Ir0n Leviathan idol animations
John after seeing Eternatus: *I’m gonna win, this is my last one!*
Eternatus: *Well yes, but actually no*
@Michael Kowal not technically true but still can be fought using a different hax
@Q12aw because you can't encounter it outside of the in-game event
@Michael Kowal no it just doesn’t have a hitbox
@Michael Kowal yeah, that's what Mikey suggested in the vid
I'm guessing that since the eternamax form can't be used in regular battles, the eternamax form glitches in the overworld, preventing it from being encountered
reminder to subscribe so John can stop crying every night because he doesn't have a golden plaque
@Ayaan Bansal I did TO
@Ayaan Bansal Yeah
But you don’t ether lol
LOOK! DROWZEE!
unsubbs
I swear, these guys always know how to keep things entertaining and I love them for it. I certainly never would've been able come up with something like this
Agreed
@MegalodonGaming GTX it's okay. Just don't make any assumptions next time
@Aurora jof ok sorry i really thought you were
@MegalodonGaming GTX well, I just pinched myself and it hurt, so I'm pretty sure that I'm not a bot
It was hilariously fitting when you guys were talking about Hoenn having too much water, and then Mikey finds, of all things, Kyogre
Why couldn’t it have been Rayquaza for Team Sky
@Azerial You left off a .8
I realized that it was so fitting
@Furret9 and in galar of all generations
Kyogre in the desert and Heatran in the water

@Shadow Blade but that wasn't a max raid
@Ryan Heywood it can be caught in max raids tho
Thanks for confirming the continuation of Mikey’s win-streak lol.
well that is unfortunate (about eternatus)
Oh they look pretty similar
I have tears from how hard I laughed at the end. The little Axew KILLED me
I guess ya could say Eternatus grabbed John's victory and ran with it.
Yeah, Eternatus isn't the greatest 'handyman' despite his Eternamaxed apperance
You gotta hand it to Eternatus for it
I love how Drowzee has become part of the John/Michael lore.
Hehe drowzee x Mikey go brrr
@Jakedigi22 I already reported the two bot replies. I'm just wondering why everyone doesn't do the same thing.
Begone bot!
And micheal loves it too😉
I love these unique competitions!! It’s so much fun to watch
Yes😁🙃🙂
Just watched Mikey's quest to conquer the skies of Hisui. Then watching the JM Cup. At night. PERFECT :D
lol me too
@Novalite3 Yes, my amphibian friend
Same
same
Same

I think it's because you had to touch the tail as in where the core is swirling around. But because it's so high up you can't interact with it
Losing due to an unbattleable phantom is just what I expect from this series and I love it!
Again it would have been nice too see some score board along the way, showing how many legendaries you both got and which Gen you still needed to get :)
I know why Eternatus didn’t start the battle!
It’s hit box must be the main area of the body, which is one inch over John’s head
its a special battle, emax eternatus cant be battled outside the story mission, no battle starts if found in the wild. base eternatus would be fine but not emax
He didn't even tried to whistle to see if would come down
Nah its just a skill issue
I guess eternatus really did bring the darkest day for John
Why is it so funny to watch John unable to get Eternatus
This is super cool. It would be cool to see a version of this in the crown tundra's max raid dens.
That would be hard to mod
These are my favorite videos. The pure camaraderie combined with the competitions are just a joy to watch.
John will never let Mikey hear the end of Drowzee.
I feel so bad for John 😂 he just kept hitting the eternatus in disbelieve
Love the absolute chaotic energy they have together XD
John: I found a legendary!
Eternamax Eternatus: Yes, but actually no.
Feesh deserves it's own category beyond legendary!
I like to think that Eternatus is just warping reality (because it has been shown that it can) so John can't catch it.
This is exactly what I needed today. Some good laughs and goofs, and awesome pokemon. Thanks guys.
I like how Michael sleeping with Drowzee is becoming a running joke.
John: You started with Gen 3, you know all about 'too much water.'
Kyogre: Did somebody mention Water in Gen 3?
Unfortunate loss for John but hopefully he'll come back and set the tie again for the next race
Another installment in my favorite series! Seriously love the dynamic you guys have.
Will there be a John Michael Cup 2 after the first winner is crowned?

"this is my worst nightmare" while being chased by crabs seems fitting
These are so chaotic and I love it. The energy between you both cracks me up 🤣❤️
John: Wait, am I stupid?
"OF COURSE!!!"
That legit made me laugh
I always finish these competition videos with a smile on my face. Thanks, guys. 😄
Gotta love these competitions! They're always hilarious 😂
I’d kind of like to see a catching challenge in one of the spinoffs such mystery dungeon (whoever gets kecleon should just give up immediately) or Ranger (that’d be interesting since some Pokemon require specific field moves to be catchable).
I love how beautifully chaotic and hilarious the end of this video is 😂😂
John: "ANY OTHER WAY! NOT LIKE THIS!" "This is my worst nightmare!"
Also John: *Being chased by kinglers and bewears*
@Zekromtrainer12 "Yes John, suffer for me..."
While Eternatus is chilling
The John-Michael cup is ending soon - I'll miss these friendly competitions
Plus, they have a max of 5 competitions left.
Who says this is the end? Maybe it'll be an annual thing.
I like to watch these episodes when I fall asleep, and hearing Mikey singing CBAT when I was half asleep was an experience
17:31 Another one of my favorite moments in the John Michael Cup.
Mikey's laugh kills me every time no fail
For the next one, Feesh should be wild and take the place of one of the legendaries, but you should set the Feesh spawn rate really down.
Maybe that should be a rule in all challenges... Feesh can be used whatever you're doing!
Damn the last legendary for PM7 really takes the cake.
This was the most delightful episode of the John Michael Cup I've seen in a while.
Ironically I can't wait for season 2 of the cup, as things will be far more serious from the beginning
Once Gen 9 stuff has mods, I'd LOVE to see someone hide both 8 new spikes AND a new cave with some hidden mystery Pokemon (probably Drowzee), and have you try to race to see who finds all the new spikes and whatever Pokemon gets hidden behind the new door. For added fun, if you knock the Pokemon out (or it uses explosion and somehow knocks itself out), all the spikes get randomized into totally new locations.
I can easily say that the on screen personalities are amazing, but the editing team knows how to take me from laughing to cackling.
Literally the game itself didn't want John to end Michael's streak lmao
John losing because, I assume, Eternamax Eternatus isnt actually encounterable by normal means, is absolutely perfect comedy
That ending where John couldn't catch his last pokemon was insane. How does that hapen?!
Also, I want a playlist of all the John Michael Cup videos.
Keep up the good work guys!
John not being able to catch this Pokemon is the same as Purplecliffs power going out lmao. 🤣
That is some really unfortunate luck for John at the end there
This is what John gets for calling Mikey unpleasant in the alphabet challenge
Ain't nothing better than my favorite generation giving Mikey the win
The “Did you also pee’d on my Cheerios Mikey” just made me die of laughter.
This made my day LOL! Seeing all the those legendary then getting to the last one which you can't capture because its in a different form... the pain but great match!
Love these videos can't wait to see who wins the John Michael cup
The fake out with Eternatus at the end was absolutely hilarious! XD rip john he probably could've won if not for that
I really hope at the end of the John Michael Cup, there is an actual trophy showing one of them is a superior John Michael haha
“You started with gen 3 you know about there being way to much water” meanwhile, Kyogre
The things that go into these videos are insane!
I would like to see a shiny version of this challenge.
Another amazing video! Very entertaining and unique challenge! I would love to see more New Pokemon Snap challenges like finding all the eeveelutions in Pokemon Snap would be really cool! Thanks for another great vid!🎉
I like how John has no problem considering Feesh a legendrary but has issues with Air Bud on Team Sky.
MandJTV Plays, Purplecliffe and PM7 uploaded at the same day
What can get better than that
I think Feesh is a legendary, and when we do get the John Michael Cup finale, what is that challenge gonna be?
I wish we got more after with them talking about which ones they got with each other
Absolutely wonderful as usual ❤️
Feesh count’s as a legendary in our heart
What an epic twist of events at the end xD
John mentioning hoenn, water and feesh in one a 30 second time frame while mikey is catching kyogre it way too funny
Surely I wasn’t the only one who caught Mikey singing Cbat at 10:29.
One cannot escape cbat
Pretty sure Mikey and John will make sure they've battled EVERY SINGLE trainer before making a video next time
this channel is geniunly my comfort channel like im so happy that you guys are still putting out content
I feel so bad for you John. I hope you can make a comeback in the cup ❤ if Mickey can THAN YOU CAN TOO!!! Don’t give up John🤘💕👍
The harmonization scene at 9:48 was absolutely beautiful. Somebody please clip that.
John walking past the Mewtwo near the beginning might just be the funniest thing i have seen today
Timestamp?
You should do who can catch the most of a certain type.
I can’t believe John lost like that of all ways, these competitions are too genius
8:40 made me laugh so hard, milk came out of my nose while I was drinking it!! DARN IT, MIKEY!!!🤣
I hope they save a few videos of the John Michael cup for gen 9
Micheals comeback arc is crazy
Great competition, as always. PM7 win the cup! And yes, feesh should definetly count as a legendary. The ending was so paintful
Should’ve caught a wooper for Johto
Another awesome entry in this competition XD Eternatus was just TAUNTING you man XD
Huge fan of these challenges!!!! Hopefully Purplecliff will join too some day again in these video's
That ending made me tear up from how much I laughed! XD
John getting chased by Bewears and Kingler around an Eternamax Eternatus is gonna make me laugh forever !
Feesh is definitely a legendary! I always have a level 100 one to carry around named Mightykarp 😂
This is such an interesting challenge.
I call a do over, poor John literally found his last mon and it was bugged …
I really thought John was going to win that one. Max Eternatus truly is evil.
In hindsight, there's a good chance John could have won if he didn't tip off Mikey about Solgaleo's location.
I love how John says Galar like a bird we have here in Australia, the Galah.
I had a really hard day at work and this video is legitimately healing me, I love watching y'all so much.
edit: MIKEY I KNOW YOU DIDN'T JUST START SINGING THE CBAT SONG NOOOOO
John: Talks about the Gen 3 having too much water meme.
Mousey Mick: Immidiately runs into the Gen 3 Legendary that causes more water...
