Game 1, turns 1&2: World Champ Difference lol

[@takanuva6167]

We really are just living in Wolfe's world

[@ianaguilar8090]

I mean he did miss the eleci on that turn then when incin maxed he got a crit seems like he gotta pretty lucky the first game If neither of those things happened eleci would be dead and rillaboom would probably be dead too

[@PtylerBeats]

@@ianaguilar8090 that’s the world champ difference. Any normal person wouldn’t have been so lucky. But Wolfe Glick, being the world champ that he is, squeaks out a win by the sheer power of that world champ difference

[@ianaguilar8090]

@@PtylerBeats lol true very similar to WSOP

[@itsukizy]

wolf is so mental going for the same play in both matches, he really doesn’t let the pressure get to him. he absolutely called the gastro switch bluff and stood his ground.

[@pokemon_humor]

there’s no reason to bring Gastro against Wolfe’s team I don’t think this is a bluff he was calling out

[@itsukizy]

@@pokemon_humor yeah that’s basically my point, wolfey basically just said ‘i don’t think you bring gastro in this matchup, so i don’t feel bad going for the same play again’ the reason i say it’s a bluff is because i think seeing gastro even in team preview puts pressure on eleki and wolfey didn’t let the pressure get to him, he logically arrived at the conclusion that he can safely do the same thing turn one.

Is it just me or are these tournament’s better than the anime

It's hilarious to me that Ben misses 2 huge precipice blades in game one, but then hits 2 50% accuracy moves back to back in game two lol

[@dfc9547]

The 2nd one was 70% accurate but that's still a 35% chance to hit both

[@zerowen4017]

Lol no wheezing

[@Darktrooper99]

I would have released that Groudon.

[@ChainsSSB]

Honestly this does not look like a good matchup for Wolfe but he somehow made it work. RNG was def on his side this set, but his team doesn't look like it does too well against Groudon outside of his Rillaboom, who's still threatened by max flare or Charizard/Incin.

[@fnfal6286]

I think he prepped against this and his team was definetly good against grimmsnarl. The Moment he did the same thing in game 2 it was clear that he prepped for this and knew what to do when Groupon KO the regieleki

[@anthonyporter5093]

Can’t be the only one who thinks Ben just threw.

[@benmcdonald5127]

Bro… Wolfey is way too good. Needs nerfed..

[@tensebeastgaming8527]

Why in the world does Ben go throat chop into the opposing incin at 13:04 his incin had just switched in and should have fake out pressure into either Wolfe’s Zacian to prevent the sacred sword or into Wolfe’s incin if he is calling the protect from the zacian

[@jasonjarmoosh]

Maybe to prevent parting shot going onto his Groupon

[@tensebeastgaming8527]

@@jasonjarmoosh fake out accomplishes the same thing and covers for if he doesn’t parting shot which he didn’t, pretty greedy to call that parting shot when he had a super free fake out

[@fnfal6286]

@@tensebeastgaming8527 before switch in it was electric Terrain and fake out doesnt work in it

[@tensebeastgaming8527]

@@fnfal6286you are thinking of psychic terrain, electric terrain does not prevent increased priority moves only prevents sleep/yawn etc.

[@jasonseagreaves6476]

Prob calling the switch into calyrex-s. Really stupid prediction imo but it would’ve looked cool if he got it.

[@littlemysummer]

One thing the emcee missed to point out is Wolfe's switch to Rillaboom to change the terrain to Grassy Terrain. It will reduce any Ground damage taken by Rillaboom and Regieleki from Groudon on top of the Intimidate effect.

[@Shad0wPlasma666]

Grassy Terrain weakens Earthquake, Bulldoze and Magnitude, that's it!

[@ChainsSSB]

Grassy terrain doesn't reduce ground damage, just specific ground moves like earthquake, bulldoze, and magnitude.

How did wood hammer deal that much damage to charizard in the end? Isnt it like 0.25 damage to fire/flying?

[@sparkdrive2900]

Grassy terrain

[@aquaneko14]

0.25*1.3=0.325% *1.5 (stab) = 0.4875% Wood hammer BP is 120, so it's basically a neutral 58 BP move

Luck is a skill

[@jdizzle1779]

This format just doesn't do it for me. Think dynamax makes it a bit worse imo

[@Tsitchom]

Zacian, Incin, Rilla and Regieleki have hurt the format’s diversity so much.

[@LeTzPlaY100]

@@Tsitchom when legendaries enter the pool, the meta tends to revolve around them. That has been true for most formats where legendaries are allowed.

[@jdizzle1779]

@@LeTzPlaY100 makes sense. I just wish creativity wasn't hindered so much. That's what I've always loved about Pokémon

[@ArtoriasSamus]

@@jdizzle1779 I think this format is more interesting than people give it credit for. Yes the meta right now is revolving around the big ones like Zacian, Groudon, and Kyogre to name a few; the creativity comes in with things like different EV spreads, item and move choice, and the support around those meta-defining restricteds. People are going to use the best of the format because it just boosts your chances of winning each match by that much, but you also give your opponent so much more knowledge about your team if you only stick to the meta.

[@pourushsharma9004]

@@ArtoriasSamus True but the thing is that the diversity in EV spreads, item choices and nature's has always been there. The past formats allowed much more variation in team compositions, while still preserving creativ choices in items, etc. This format restricts you to either use the good mons, or suffer, like Wolfe did when he didn't use Zacian in SLC regionals.

[@davidcorona2424]

Nerf wolfe

[@SGALAXIA]

I would enjoy it more if no legendary/mythical Pokemon were allowed 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@xander9323]

well that's just the current format, each player can have 2 restricted mons. It changes from time to time, but for the next worlds it will be this format. sorry mate

[@koonky5979]

he doesnt cheat his mons, dont listen do that weird furry that doesnt have any good sources

[@dayko.]

Dude nobody gives a shit even if he does "cheat" the mons. It literally does not give him an advantage because everyone at this level has the perfect IV's and EV's. It would just save him time. If it gave any ingame advantage I would be there right with you but it literally doesn't. Why do people even care? Gatekeeping because someone did not waste hours hatching eggs etc? Pretty sure he has a few friends that train the mons for him. Is that illegal too? Can't make this shit up.
