PM7's luck? That's nothing, My luck is truly insane. I've never caught a shiny even from legends and scarlet violet. Even when putting in several hours a day.
@Hugh G. Rection I have 4 shinies. 1 was boosted odds because of an outbreak. The other three were full odds without a sandwich. All within 3 hours - but I haven’t seen one since and had never seen one before last sunday
What has always made me laugh is whenever John finds a shiny, Mikey is filled with unbridled rage, but whenever mikey finds a shiny, John congratulates him with the biggest smile on his face
What I've learned from this is that John either A) has taste more in line with the fandom in general or B) is more aware of and willing to pander to the fandom's taste. RIP Mikey.
@Chouko As someone who doesn't actively hate the eeveelutions but also doesn't really care about them, I feel with Mikey. They're blind spots to me like Lucario - pokémon that I don't particularly have feelings about and might forget exist, but that are insanely popular with the fandom.
21:00 I was initially surprised you guys kept going after John got 14 points, but then I remembered you recorded the catching first and then the points.
I like how the Bisharp vs Breloom one wasn’t a sweep. You can tell people were really pitying Mikey on that. But just imagine if Mikey did end up catching it.
Treasure Planet clip at 2:42...respect! Absolute gem of a Disney movie and it's a shame it didn't do well in the box office. John absolutely slayed this. He unleashed his inner Cynthia, as shown with his Garchomp destroying Gyarados. He knew exactly what the people wanted when he caught that Clodsire for C...Clodsire is love, Clodsire is life, and Clodsire is a whole vibe. Rika having one on her team is based. And Dragonite is cool and all, but I love Dachsbun so much. I have a senior dachshund with several health problems named Bella (despite her health problems, she's a trooper and still going strong) so I love that it's based off her breed.
Love this series but I have another idea for a competition, do a random number generator for 1-400 and who ever gets the closer mon to that number based on their dex number gets a point
"Anywhere, anytime, you and me can have the time of our lives" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War. As the Supreme Leader, John's power with catching Shinies is admirable. The thing about John's Shiny luck is the fact it isn't scripted. He doesn't just go to the spot before recording and says, "Here's a shiny", It just happens. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. It honestly is funny how little Mikey understands the current Pokémon fandom, I respect his convictions though. Anyone who thinks Dragonite is better than the adorable Dachsbun can go hang out with the weak "Dragon Master" Lance and his THREE Dragonite.
Next time instead of voting, just catch groups of 4 ABCD, EFGH, IJKL then do a double battle with your letter's Pokemon. Then even when you both get the same Pokemon there will still be a winner. After 6 battle rounds if it's a tie just roll 4 random letters for a tie breaker.
Yea but I cannot believe he was even shocked by the Clodsire 90% result. Has he been living under a rock? Clodsire is getting more appreciation than cats 🤣
@Potatoe972 tbh I must personally say that he chose some of the worst pokemon possible in the letter category. John is way better at catching the cooler/more popular ones so yeah
I am pleasantly surprised and glad that Mikey at least got two Shinies this video! As opposed to zero and John getting a shiny right off the bat like usual
I know it's supposed to be impartial, but if I were voting and I thought I knew which was John's, I'd probably vote for that one. I really want to see Mikey receive a custom engraved toilet in the mail from John.
If I knew for sure which Mikey's choices I would vote for him always. But otherwise I vote by my personal preferences which sometimes is John's but also sometimes are Mikey's.
@Charles Ruteal I don’t feel it’s unfair at all. This is a discussion about the perception of a Pokémon, and a lack of time for a resurgence doesn’t change the fact that Lechonk fell off. Think about it the other way. Lechonk only ever became so popular because it was the first, and unlike other firsts, such as Blaziken and Lucario, isn’t a cool recurring mon. Frosmoth isn’t exactly popular, it’s just actually memorable, which Lechonk’s evo’s kind of aren’t.
@Batman Not Bruce Wayne I feel that's unfair to Lechonk, because chances are the community went through their entire repertoire of Lechonk memes back when it was one of the only new Pokemon revealed. We won't know if Lechonk's falloff is permanent until we wait a few years (unless Wooloo went through a similar dip). Otherwise, yeah I'm just underestimating Snom. I didn't think Frosmoth was popular since it was regarded as a competitive disappointment (unlike Volcarona), and I just generally underestimate the power of cuteness (I like Tinkaton, but I didn't expect it to be the most popular ScVi-Dex Pokemon in Japan).
Every time PM7 finds a shiny, it shocks me and then I remember he’s gotten at least 2 in every single video since the start of the new John Michael cup season. Can I get blessed with better shiny odds? 🙏🏻
The bingo one I believe. Every other video had a clip of him finding and catching out. Even one of him being mean and sending it to Mikey before the contest even got started.
Was so hoping one of them would catch Cetoddle for the C round, cause Cetoddle is one of my favorite new pokémon, and I wanted to see how the precious round boi would do.
Hot take: You don't have to be a kid to enjoy these videos. Like I aged out of most Pokémon channels but I always come back here. I love the content here and with any of Mikey's friends.
Video idea: 'Bloopers and best funny bits from John Michael cup for season 1 and 2' Not sure if this has been done already, but I'd love to see it, maybe have first half of the alphabet on one channel and the second half on the other channel??

HAIL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
@Serge Shin skwovet is my god
@thatonenerd z
No
PM7's luck with shiny Pokémon is so insane, that it doesn't even surprise me anymore.
PM7's luck? That's nothing, My luck is truly insane. I've never caught a shiny even from legends and scarlet violet. Even when putting in several hours a day.
@Hugh G. Rection I have 4 shinies. 1 was boosted odds because of an outbreak. The other three were full odds without a sandwich.
All within 3 hours - but I haven’t seen one since and had never seen one before last sunday
So true
the game is heavily modded lol, its like a 30% chance for them
🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦
I love how Mikey brought the alliteration for L:
“I know Lucario is lovable but if it lost to Lechonk I would be livid!”
Switched
@Coopertime fair, part of lechonks appeal is being small
@Username it would be even worse if it became bigger
@Ditto I love snom I have a net ball with one inside and it's great
@Coopertimeit on its own is great, its evolution wouldve been better if it just became a bigger lechonk like dudunsparce
What has always made me laugh is whenever John finds a shiny, Mikey is filled with unbridled rage, but whenever mikey finds a shiny, John congratulates him with the biggest smile on his face
But if it’s on his channel he talks about his sponsor
@Zinnia Draconid Indeed
@T Rex Hunter 10 I’ll be around, I guess fate will decide where we meet next
Hope to see you around Hoenn again someday.
@Zinnia Draconid Nice. Good to hear. :)
I expected John to pick Drowzee for D round FOR SURE, genuinely surprised he didn’t. I’m sure it would have got more votes because well, *you know.*
@Sun god luffy EA Sports? ... I'm sorry, I had to 😂
It’s in the game
It's not in the game? Is it there's too many Pokemon I don't remember lol
Arcanine winning the first round by so much shows the incredible intelligence of the viewers
@Carlos Delgado it said to translate,and it said "Hi Bed" omg☠️
@K A bro... Snom is like 4-5 years old
@Harry Healey Snom is cute and new. Scyther is... how should I put this? Played out.
@LuckyStorm750 stop reading your own comments then. :)
@Harry Healey snom is better it's way cuter
What I've learned from this is that John either A) has taste more in line with the fandom in general or B) is more aware of and willing to pander to the fandom's taste. RIP Mikey.
What bugs me as much as is bugs Mikey is that I prefer almost all of the Pokemon Mikey picked in this... so I feel the pain he feels too.
@Chouko As someone who doesn't actively hate the eeveelutions but also doesn't really care about them, I feel with Mikey. They're blind spots to me like Lucario - pokémon that I don't particularly have feelings about and might forget exist, but that are insanely popular with the fandom.
@Chouko Snom Just Bring Popular by memes
@Mason Hewitt that is what i think, he activly picks pokemons that are memes on his channel, like Magicarp Belibolt and Wugtrio
Maybe people just know the type if Pokémon John would pick and love messing with Mikey
Watching John get more shinies in 2 minutes than I have found in my entire life hurts.
@IDK WHO THIS IS! you should do the Ponyta request. You get a shiny Ponyta from it.
@IDK WHO THIS IS! yeah it is easier to get shinies in arceus
@MythicAxes thats where i got my staravia
Play legends Arceus if you can. Easy to get shinies there I've gotten 8 in that game
and it was a staravia
These two men celebrating over Michael finding a Shiny Golduck during this is really wholesome to me.
John dominates when it comes to audience vote. Mikey knows pokemon but John goes for rule of cool, as does the audience.
@mestre12 I mean... it was against cufant.
@michaelkeha Clodsire is the proof of that. Stats wise, its not the best, but, how could you not love that face?
More like rule of memes
21:00 I was initially surprised you guys kept going after John got 14 points, but then I remembered you recorded the catching first and then the points.
Oh duh, I was just wondering the same lol
I am quite honestly shocked that John didn't catch Drowzee for the D round
Same
Really surprised that John didn’t catch Drowzee for D. He definitely would’ve won that round if so lmao
Yeah that would have been chaos
Every time there is a new John Michael cup I always 100% sure John is gonna get a shiny.
@K3wlG33k Guys! Pm7 is stealing your shiny luck!
@Valiant His subs need to know! Get the word out!
@K3wlG33k Oh my god, ur right! I never thought of that!
True tho
You know what? What if instead of us receiving his shiny luck by subbing to him, we're fueling him with more shiny luck? 😳
I like how the Bisharp vs Breloom one wasn’t a sweep. You can tell people were really pitying Mikey on that. But just imagine if Mikey did end up catching it.
Treasure Planet clip at 2:42...respect! Absolute gem of a Disney movie and it's a shame it didn't do well in the box office. John absolutely slayed this.

3:26 Is Micky not aware of how much people love Clodsire??
Mikey's frustrated breakdown next to John doing a Miss America Thank you is killing me holy smokes
The part where they just spontaneously went in vocalizing The Gambler and never mentioned it is awesome 18:31
Love this series but I have another idea for a competition, do a random number generator for 1-400 and who ever gets the closer mon to that number based on their dex number gets a point
Yes.
Gonna say, am actually surprised they *haven't* done this yet.
Liking and answering this so it has a higher chance to get noticed (it’s a great idea)
Of course they would not be allowed to check the pokedex for the challenge.
@snailmix
You would think, but he also forgot Volcarona exists, so I think you underestimate the pressure the competition puts on these men’s psyches.
"Anywhere, anytime, you and me can have the time of our lives" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War. As the Supreme Leader, John's power with catching Shinies is admirable.

Can we all just appreciate Mikey’s singing, like it is on point
Next time instead of voting, just catch groups of 4 ABCD, EFGH, IJKL then do a double battle with your letter's Pokemon.
Then even when you both get the same Pokemon there will still be a winner. After 6 battle rounds if it's a tie just roll 4 random letters for a tie breaker.
That is such a good idea 👍
Mikey losing his mind made me giggle. but him losing it even more at the end kinda scares me.
"Can you move it along? I'm all out of time cards." That actually just killed me.
I love how John just needs to do a challenge with MandJTV to shiny hunt
Like they did last year in Arkoos, first to find 5 shinies wins
If Mikey gets too ahead of John somehow, they should do that.
It was a pleasure to have jolteon on your show today
Congratulations on Trending!🎉 Can’t wait for more awesome episodes of the John Micheal Cup!
John being so kind to Michael when hed get a shiny is awesome
I love watching JM Cup, so ridiculous sometimes but always makes me smile
Soon, i will starting to take bets on how many shinies John gets on the video
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Mikey's phrase evolving from 'I am a pillar of salt' to 'I am a Garganacl right now'.
People's opinions sucked in this
they made him into a pokémon
He's evolving!
the fact that john got a shiny b is so incredibly insane is... italy
We need to start doing polls in the beginning of videos to guess either how long until John gets a shiny/how many he gets
I love that Mikey didn't even give John the chance to ruin his pirate joke this time 🤣
I love how Mikey uses his community for theses challenges. Glad we can feel involved and be participating in the JMC.
everything I voted for promptly lost tho
Yea but I cannot believe he was even shocked by the Clodsire 90% result. Has he been living under a rock? Clodsire is getting more appreciation than cats 🤣
@Potatoe972 tbh I must personally say that he chose some of the worst pokemon possible in the letter category. John is way better at catching the cooler/more popular ones so yeah
@Potatoe972 People who like the Birds that eat the Crabs.
@Alexander Schakett on the community tab and they last for about an hour or a half.
Ok guys place your bets on how many shinies PM7 is getting next round.
4
John has enough shiny luck to share with all his subscribers and still find at least one shiny every episode
Thanks to anyone who likes my comment 😃👍
I am pleasantly surprised and glad that Mikey at least got two Shinies this video! As opposed to zero and John getting a shiny right off the bat like usual
Funny how Mikey's joke for J contained both his and John's name but M was only for MandJtv
In these videos I just want the cowboy screaming meme throughout the whole thing
@Mecen8 me to
next chalenge is obscured by that
@D&T Bros I’d sign in a heartbeat
Petition for the editors to do this
I love the memes the JMC starts
I remember seeing Magikarp on the poll and immediately knowing that it was John's.
I really think John should have a full on song of Mikey and Drowzee’s relationship!
the luck that pm7 has with his shiny hunting is out of this world
John getting a shiny reminds me that I got a shiny kilowattrel and shelter within 5 minutes of each other
John's shiny luck is insane. I agreed with Mikey that Syther I thought was going to win easy
Love how Mikey freaks out about the voting and somehow John just lucks into everyone voting for him.
I know it's supposed to be impartial, but if I were voting and I thought I knew which was John's, I'd probably vote for that one. I really want to see Mikey receive a custom engraved toilet in the mail from John.
I’ve always voted whatever pokemon wins. Idek why i guess im too normal
If I knew for sure which Mikey's choices I would vote for him always. But otherwise I vote by my personal preferences which sometimes is John's but also sometimes are Mikey's.
@Charles Ruteal I don’t feel it’s unfair at all. This is a discussion about the perception of a Pokémon, and a lack of time for a resurgence doesn’t change the fact that Lechonk fell off.

@Batman Not Bruce Wayne I feel that's unfair to Lechonk, because chances are the community went through their entire repertoire of Lechonk memes back when it was one of the only new Pokemon revealed.

Looks like PM7 is winning this challenge, he's incredibly lucky with finding shinies that even I could never find, this is very fun!
Can we just appreciate the content these 2 put out! Easily my 2 favourite PokeTubers! Thank you Mikey and John - And Grunty Boi!
The end of this made me laugh so hard I almost passed out cause that was so funny. 😂
I wish there was a cup where John, Michael, and Jack were participating. Kinda like the video where they had to get the pokemon with the lowest BST
My favorite part in this video is Mikey slowly, but risingly losing his mind from his subscribers constantly voting against him
The insane amount of luck for PM7 to win Round B like that is astounding.
Uuuu7
Especially after the 25 quick balls video while hunting bisharp
It's fun watching Mikey slowly lose sanity as John finds shiny pokemon 😂
The bromance they have is immaculate
As someone who absolutely loves Markiplier, I love the silly little refrences. Florges made me laugh!
You should do this but with types and then with generations in a single video! That would be neat.
Now I know why I've never gotten a shiny, John has all the luck from everyone else haha
Dude. John's shiny luck is unreal. 2 in 1 round!? The Bisharp ON the B round!? This is insane.
How many shines has John gotten this dang season alone? Heck how many in this ep?!
It is required in The John Michael Cup Season 2 that at least 1 shiny Pokémon must be caught! -John Michael
This is the season of Jon and his shiny luck
I need John's shiny luck.
im so happy this challenge is back i loved it last season!!
While doing the form I thought to myself, "imagine that Mikey caught the shiny Bisharp." I wonder what I was thinking
Quite bold of you to assume such lol
Snom is quite literally my second favorite Pokémon, it’s the cutest Pokémon by far imo.
If one thing is for certain, John will once again find a shiny, likely many, next week
John just passively cheering for Michael when he finds the shiny Great Tusk, "Oh. That's nice"
PM7 caught more shinies in one video than I have in 3 years.
im glad they both had shiny luck more then once, congratz guys
John has found so many shiny Pokemon in these videos and I am worried about Michaels mental health at this point 😅
John could shiny hunt the entire pokedex in a day BY ACCIDENT!!!
John’s earned his rite of passage as the shiny poketuber
Pm7 threw some rounds to keep it interesting for sure, especially in the middle of the alphabet
Every time PM7 finds a shiny, it shocks me and then I remember he’s gotten at least 2 in every single video since the start of the new John Michael cup season. Can I get blessed with better shiny odds? 🙏🏻
In order to get best shiny odds, you must sub to MandJTV Plays and PM7
I am actually disturbed and impressed by the community's taste in Pokemon. This is WILD.
Would it even be the John-Michael Cup video without John getting a shiny ten seconds in?
The bingo one I believe. Every other video had a clip of him finding and catching out. Even one of him being mean and sending it to Mikey before the contest even got started.
he has to get atleast 1 a video its the shirt
Or even before the actual competition starts?
So……should the comment section start betting on which shiny Pokémon John catches at the start of each video now or?
I won't be surprised if PM7 managed to complete a Pokédex of shines.
It doesn’t even surprise me when PM7 gets a shiny anymore. 😀
I actually got to vote for this one so I was excited to see it~
Definitely knew PM7 got the shiny Bisharp xD
Was so hoping one of them would catch Cetoddle for the C round, cause Cetoddle is one of my favorite new pokémon, and I wanted to see how the precious round boi would do.
John will literally never stop finding shinies
Until hes looking for them in a video dedicated to find shinys. Then he could go hours without finding any.
Hot take: You don't have to be a kid to enjoy these videos. Like I aged out of most Pokémon channels but I always come back here. I love the content here and with any of Mikey's friends.
Idk why them both catching my favorite eeveelution made me so happy.
I love how vivid Mikey got for 6 consecutive rounds🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t think of a better birthday present. Thanks Mikey.
I love how everyone knew the shiny Bisharp was PM7
It’s so fun to see the relationship and bicker between Mikey and John
They have a brotherly bond
Video idea: 'Bloopers and best funny bits from John Michael cup for season 1 and 2'
Not sure if this has been done already, but I'd love to see it, maybe have first half of the alphabet on one channel and the second half on the other channel??
The fact that even when Mikey manages to find shiny Pokemon, John still manages to find more. Maybe Mikey shouldn't have ticked off the Shiny Gods.
Nice video boys! Keep up the good work
Next video idea, Mikey races to beat the game, John has to catch 10 shinies with no sandwich before it happens.
If I had a nickel for every time that John mentions Drowzee, I would have nonillion nickels, which is just… wow that is a lot
We need to start taking bets on when in the video John actually finds the shiny
Fr
True
At this point it's tradition that John finds one shiny at the start of the video
As if any C pokemon would have a chance at besting my boi Clodsire.
Also I freaking love the running gag with Drowsee. It is hilarious.
I wonder what shiny John gonna find in the next video
I seem to have experienced deja vu with Mikey's dialogue after catching their G Pokemon
I love John throwing for content in the middle
