How I Got to #1 In the World with Dipplin

[@cupcakemedia1143]

My favorite part of Wolfe videos is that he goes "Damn, I just lost on that" and then wins like 3 turns later 95% of the time.

[@zettovyker]

It's called the world champ diff

[@EarthSpirit.easyzdota]

babyyyyyy

[@sebastianbjorkman4273]

I feel like that might be because he is used to playing against better players in general. Like if he is against a really good player they will be able to close out the game against him most of the time in the given position. Anyways, still funny.

[@SilverAlex92]

I think thats because he's always planning for the worst case scenario. Ie what would the opponent do if they had the same skill level as him. He can see the lines that lead to him loosing, and plays around those, and most of the times the opponent isnt simply skilled enough to actually materialize that into a win, even if they had a commanding position at some point of the game. My personal favorite is how 8 of 10 games Wolfy be like "ohh thats a really good lead from the opponent" or "I made a terrible lead", and yet come ahead always.

[@riggz5496]

It’s always really bad for him 😂

[@mtd9155]

Fun fact about defiant into super sweet syrup, the game doesn’t count syrup as the opponent lowering speed, but the syrup lowering speed. This means that the defiant Mon doesn’t get an attack boost from the syrup ( I learned this when playing against a dippplin with gambit, super surprised I had -3 speed with no attack boosts)

[@mallowtonmouse]

There's so many arbitrary exceptions it's hard to keep track.

[@YeyazWyrd]

Learned that from Bisharp in White when doing the double battle subway thing. I really thought I was on to something too, 😅

Defiant is so good for Tera raids. I was using a low level Pawniard to destroy raids because that attack boost was so helpful.

Never underestimate Wolfey's ability to take a Pokemon that looks innocuous and make it a beast. I'd kinda like to see a run with Glimmora. I know people are aware it's capable, but it still feels slept on for some reason.

[@ayskaripepperooni2770]

It is really good at getting hazards up, which in my understanding are not that strong in doubles, the format wolfey mostly plays. But it would be interesting, building a team around hazards maybe with some frail venoshock users that don't like sturdy and focus sash or something.

[@jackk.4670]

​@@ayskaripepperooni2770 I used a Merciless Toxapex with venoshock in VGC format to take advantage of the toxic spikes my team was able to set up. On my team it had a more supportive role, being a bulky wide guard user, but even with little to no sp. atk. investment a venoshock from a Merciless Toxapex does a lot of damage. For how bulky and hard to get rid off, it was truly a menace in my experience. TL:DR use Merciless Toxapex lol.

[@tomwolfe7782]

​@@ayskaripepperooni2770 The team he beat to reach #1 at the end of the video had a Glimmora in it, though? So it's got to be worth something in doubles...

[@railroader2431]

@@ayskaripepperooni2770 That's true. But the one thing that it doesn't quite take into account is Glimmora's monstrous 130-base special attack stat, so it could hypothetically go on the offensive quite effectively if it were to be built as such.

It would be a problem; if this was still Gen 6 or sooner and the ability existed and worked like that. With one evasion drop, 80% is pushing it when it comes to viability, and DV is no longer 80% as of Gen VII. It’s 50%. I wouldn’t rely on it, personally.
