Video summary

0:00Players choose from three Pokémon using ability lists, but one list contains a deliberate lie.
1:50The opening draft gives Dylan three green Pokémon to consider.
6:27Rich takes his turn assessing Dylan's options and choosing a team member.
8:53Rich offers an enticing ability list as the next bluff takes shape.
17:48A legendary Pokémon enters the draft, with Dylan deciding whether Rich's pitch holds up.

Rich makes Plusle sound rather more tempting than Dylan might expect. The catch is that the attractive ability list is fabricated, and accepting the pick means accepting the Pokémon behind it.

That is the pleasure of "Choose Your Starter By ONLY Knowing Their Ability, BUT One is a LIE!", the busiest video on Dads Bein Dudes right now. Dylan and Rich take turns offering three choices, trying to separate useful clues from outright invention. Correctly spotting a lie can land a desirable pick; misplaced confidence can leave the other player grinning. The video also includes a sponsored meal-service segment.

There were no new uploads this week, but the fortnight-old challenge has reached about 156,000 views. It is currently attracting more daily views than the older type-stealing and blind-pick challenges combined. Those variations share a familiar channel habit: choosing a Pokémon is only the start of the team-building mischief.

Across the channel, the week brought roughly 42,000 views, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Today's viewing is less than half the usual daily level, so this is a gentler stretch rather than a burst of growth. Nearby gaming channels had mixed weeks: EVScape drew a substantially larger weekly audience, while milkandcookiesTW's weekly viewing was close to Dads Bein Dudes'.

For readers catching up, the ability challenge offers a particularly tidy example of the duo's format: enough Pokémon knowledge to make a convincing pitch, and enough bluffing to make that knowledge dangerous.
