Really love Wolfey’s new team around Coalossal, utilising the fact that he can Will-o-wisp his own Coalossal after activation of weakness policy from something like Max Knuckle, and his Dragapult’s bulk is impressive as well. Well played from both ends!

[@haltfresse8411]

Why would he want to will o wisp his own coalossal?

[@imLavo]

Coalossals ability is steam engine which can be activated by will o wisp and boosts his speed.

[@mic01851165]

This is actually his old team XD. He's been playing that for a long long time since Sword Shield out. The new team is the legendary one.

[@mic01851165]

@@imLavo You mean Surf dude. Will O wisp has no effect on fire Pokemon so it won't trigger anything. You can't burn a fire Pokemon.

[@terminatedtag930]

@@mic01851165 my dude steam engine activates as soon as a fire type moves gets near collosal.

[@caitnostamas2040]

Spoilers I mean, that last burn did not matter at all. It would have been a 2v1, and dragapult would have will o wisped next turn. Also regirock can't do anything to them both, expecially when burnt, and surging strikes does a ton

[@mic01851165]

Will O Wisp can miss very easily. One of the lowest accuracy moves in competitive format. Surging strike will activate his weakness policy while not able to OHKO it (maybe not even 2hko at +1 def because Regirock def is insane), and one +3 rockslide will OHKO both of them.

[@oscarelieff4219]

@@mic01851165 Surging strikes absolutely 2HKOs Regirock. Also it's guaranteed crits so the +1 defence means nothing

[@caitnostamas2040]

@@mic01851165 Will o wisp has 85% chance of connecting, surging strikes bypasses the +1 in def because it always crits, +3 rock slide does 30% to urshifu, and only 15% if regirock is burned. Also rock slide has a 90% chance of hitting, the probability of rock slide hitting both coalossal and dragapult, will o wisp missing and then rock slide hitting both dragapult and urshifu is 9,8%. And still regirock (with less than half hp) would have to deal with a 70% hp urshifu.

[@letstalkteethwithdrpriyam]

game 2 crit on dragapult really mattered

is regi supposed to be that small? the pokemon proportion in this game is still funny for me

Bottle caps

[@caitnostamas2040]

It's pretty easy with dynamax adventures, some raids, some trades and a little bit of shiny hunting. I have a bunch of battle ready shinies. Also you don't need perfect IVs on them because bottle caps are a thing

[@alexalmonte4758]

Bet I was just wondering because even with have 5 ivs passed down and an everstone there’s still a chance that you can get the shiny and mess up the ivs but I guess bottle caps are the Mets thanks for your comment

[@mic01851165]

That heat wave burn in last match proves that Wolfie has protagonist power. It's such a huge burn that makes Colossal able to cause havoc for one last turn. Honestly I think the match is in Mark's favour before that burn.

[@moberlysquad67]

And game 2 crit also definitely mattered. Changed the entire course of game 2, and it happened in the beginning

[@mic01851165]

@@moberlysquad67 I think Wolfie has chance to win match 2 though. Isn't that last turn of Dynamax for Landorus before the Colossal goes down? Why didn't Wolfie protect to stall out Max Quake and then revenge kill with Heat Wave after his HP is halved? Colossal should be able to survive no? Maybe Wolfey forgot that Landorus max guard once and miscount the Dynamax turn. Would check his own view of video when it's out.

[@ronnycrawf2441]

@@moberlysquad67 yeah that turn definitely mattered a lot. His Urshifu was forced to activate the weakness policy which let Markus double it down.

In that last game, curse didn't lower regirock's speed cause of clear body

[@rusty8311]

No, that’s not how clear body works. It prevents stat drops from opposing Pokémon, but not your own moves. That would be pretty OP, honestly. Things like Draco meteor dragapult would be a lot more popular. Look at 32:30, Curse drops its speed first.

I HATE recorded match's being commentated.

[@JustButton]

Theres a mute button bro

[@doctorfate6414]

@@JustButton Um I believe the point is to watch a commentation live battle, not recorded. I don't mind watching the version of these battles minus voices, but having some insight into battles coming from other trainers or viewers is very useful when considering teams or strategies. But the main reason I say this is because commentation on recorded matches lacks what I'd call Active Energy. They sound like they are watching a recording and the vid plays like an espn spotlight moments replay reel, superfast and clipped. Thus commentation is very fast, the gameplay lacks the feel of forethought and consideration into each move, and viewers lose the thrill of battle once they notice these things.

[@coronavirusisthebestthingt8659]

Exactly, these commentators don’t know when to shut up not only that Pokémon vgc is garbage and boring anyways, the comments here are more entertaining.

[@matadeverdoemden]

Does anybody else find it weird (and the slightest bit creepy) that these grown men (especially those who look like Markus) choose the girl avatars?

[@sundarpichai940]

YES! No one else seems to say this, but when I used to play games, I always sort of judged male players who used female avatars. No one ever brings it up, but whenever I have, I always get some sort of flimsy explanation that it's a psychological thing (you're playing against a girl!!) but I don't think it's that at all. I will say this though -- when I used to play Quake, I would use a female model for my character because while the hit box is the same no matter what your model, I felt the female model would throw off the aiming from your opponents. In fact, there was this frog model that was low to the ground and that model was actually banned for this very reason as players would naturally aim for the frog's head but that's basically aiming for the model's knees.

[@matadeverdoemden]

@@sundarpichai940 I mean, the only valid explanation is if you want to speedrun older games, since the male character does less talking. Other than that, it's off-putting to see grown men still using the girl avatars, and it's always bothered me.
