The draft gets complicated. Shadypenguinn and Dylan, better known as UnitedGamer, aren't simply picking Pokémon: they're rearranging Pokédex digits to assemble creatures with different bodies, types, abilities and moves.

"Choose Your Starter, BUT We Shuffled The Pokedex AND Fused Them!" was the most watched of the channel's two uploads this week, reaching roughly 321,000 views. It's the second week of their best-of-five battle series, with eight drafting rounds offering plenty of opportunities to spot a brilliant combination just after passing it up.

An early wrinkle comes when Shady realizes that Scizor's number can open the door to Iron Boulder through the expanded, four-digit Pokédex. Dylan eventually builds an Ice/Ground Iron Boulder with Technician. Shady's own creations include a Ground-type Buzzwole with Contrary and a Psychic/Flying Araquanid with Speed Boost. Familiar silhouettes, very unfamiliar possibilities.

The comments become an alternate draft board: viewers point to overlooked Dragapult and Liquid Voice combinations, while others joke about how long the finale could be after this three-hour installment. The fusion video also carries the most daily momentum among the channel's active uploads, with the earlier Patterrz reveal-for-buffs challenge next.

The other new arrival changes games entirely. "Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Switch 2 FULL PLAYTHROUGH | Part 1AUSTRALIA RELEASE" brought in roughly 53,000 views in its opening two hours, beginning another trip to save Hyrule.

Subscribers held steady across the week. Daily viewing is currently below Shady's usual pace, while nearby gaming channels iSorrowproductions and Johnstone are above theirs. For Shady, the week's distinctive pleasure is in the details: a familiar Pokémon can become a completely different proposition with a few rearranged digits.

To whoever the editors are for shady and Dylan: I re-watched a video from like a year ago and it’s crazy how much the content has improved - not necessarily the ideas or battles (though you guys have gotten so good), but actually watching it all is so smooth. So hats off to you guys keeping shady and Dylan going
