How I Ruined a Pokemon Tournament

[@SecretRareHoss]

I remember walking by the stage after my round 8 and seeing this going "who is using toedscruel?" then looking at the stage and going "oh that makes sense"

[@ignacioperez5479]

Yeah. Wolfey being wolfey

[@Drop0sauce]

Tbh idk why more people weren’t picking him up I was almost solemnly running weezing toed slaking/Regigias and running thru my locals and a couple tours was pretty insane the amount of viable teams in multiple metas this set up was able to do obviously a fast paced spore team is gonna be problematic but it’s gets so many more utility support moves then most expect

[@KimchiFarts]

World champ difference babyyyy

[@asiffahim3041]

@6:06 I shed my tears in joy when Wolfe said "it's weezing time" and neutralizing gassed all over the tournament. Truly one of the VGC moments of all time

[@alexdroptin7940]

Not gonna lie: Regulation H has been my favourite ruleset by a country mile. It actually made me feel like I had a chance to do original teams, and have fun with it. Its made me interested in participating again instead of watching from the sidelines.

[@cabrondemente1]

You mean games without Urshifu and Fluttermane are entertainment? The audacity!

[@ggbinogaming3768]

I much prefer formats like series 1, 2, reg c and h over reg g. Much more diversity and not every team feels the same. It’s way more fun to team build and play :)

[@shadowacesonic2827]

Wolfe fully embracing his Pokémon influence as a chaotic evil team builder is the villain origin story we all needed

[@begining9807]

and i'm ALL here for it

[@bruhe83]

It’s not Team Sky though

[@Str8jameson118]

"This is content you're not gonna get anywhere else" is so true. And its 100% confindence and pride in his hard work and not at all arrogance or a big ego. This man works so hard and it's paying off. Keep it up World Champ!

[@paulkish-greer9545]

I was thinking the same thing, I love how confident Wolfe has become. He earned that confidence!

[@shadowacesonic2827]

Wolfe is so right that these videos are completely unique on KZbin, no other Poketuber has content like this. They're an entire unique genre of their own!

[@thetrav2100]

this content and nuzlockes are my fave!

[@minecraftcreeper777]

I mean, moxie boosted does something similar, but yeah, he doesn't come close to the wins wolfey has

[@olcatgaming859]

Ray Rizzo is Wolfe lite. Tbh he just needs to upgrade his mic, and needs to sound more confident.

[@Averagejon95]

Was sat across from Wolfe round 2 next to his opponent. Was able to shake his hand and talk to him even if the convo was short. Thanks for talking to me even though you might not remember!!

[@zegna1318]

"pawmot is how you officially pronounce it". immediately misprounces it next sentence. classic wolfey

[@ayo-whats-this]

Just because that's how it is pronounced, doesn't mean that's how you pronounce it.

[@pangobara8182]

I'm glad he did because I was genuinely so confused as to what other pronunciation there could be for Pawmot. I guess I should have known that it was pronouncing the o but I was so distracted by the only other 2-syllable word that I've seen end like that being Marmot (which is certainly what it's based off).

[@potatovine]

​@@ayo-whats-thisIts probably based on marmot the animal so yeah you should pronounce it that way

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Wolfe is the prime example of why it’s great to study every rule in the book, so that you may break them as thoroughly as possible.

[@joshuakim5240]

Similar energy to "Studying all the cultures in the world to learn how to be more thoroughly racist", but applied to an official event.

[@HiddenForbidden2]

You feel proud of getting 9th with a new strange team with masterful piloting. I personally think the fact that someone who you've been teaching through Patreon took your lessons to heart and beat you!

[@vilijar9065]

It's like a classic pokemon story where at the end you have to beat the champion to become one yourself

[@sparkcircuit7029]

People may hate what Wolfey is capable of, but you have to give him props for understanding the gameplay mechanics and abilities/items/moves info VERY well. Like, even if this is an evil, _evil_ team, stuff like using a non-ability setup or picking out that Revival Blessing won't have much effect despite how good it is or equipping Sleep Talk of all things just in case of Amoongus requires a lot of dedication and knowlegde and is solid proof of the World Champ Difference. 👍✨

[@sparkcircuit7029]

side note (which people can either agree or diasgree with, i don't care much either way): i am really glad they banned Legendaries and Paradoxes for a time, just because we get to see some creative teams and the return of some older good pokemon that only went unused due to just being outclassed by the higher stats of legendaries/paradox and put on the bench.

I might not know how to play pokemon competitively that well, but my god is Wolfey a huge inspiration to try harder.

[@gmtopaz]

7:45 "I don't know why I'm using the royal "we"." Well, of course, it's because you can't spell Weezing without "We"

[@pokinfunatcartman]

Also, it helps with engagement because it makes it feel like this is not just Wolfe's team, it's our team that is going to do some level of chicanery.

[@CosmicPlatonix]

"WE" is secretly short for "World champ differencE".

[@maxjansson3672]

I love these thumbnails they have so much personality so I think it’s a shame they get changed after a while even though it’s probably to boost the algorithm

[@SilverAlex92]

I like the use of the royal We over "i". It feels like us the audience are there with you supportting in the team building, and not jsut sitting in front of a screen listengint to some guy :)

I love that when I look for your past comments on Wolfeys channel they're pretty much all about when Incineroar shows up

[@DaShikuXI]

Some 8 months ago you entered a tournament with a heavy control team. I said then that control is absolutely what you are best at, due to your very accurate reads most of the time. This video again shows that you do really well with control strategies. I really do think that this sort of team is what can win you a world championship again, instead of the more aggressive beatdown meta teams, simply because it plays to your strengths as a player.

Wolfey had time to teambuild this tournament? I was kinda looking forward to hearing about how he woke up in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but the word "Baltimore" tattooed onto his arm and 8 hours to build a new team.

[@pokelover02]

Yay!! So excited to see Wolfe’s Reg H tournament vids! I’m going to spectate a Regional for the first time this weekend! Wish Wolfe would be there, but I totally understand the burnout after Worlds and back to back Regionals. Rest is so important ❤

[@charcoaloven3321]

Every time I feel like watching Wolfey, he makes a new video in like 5 minutes. World Champ difference extends to consumer satisfaction.

Wolfe, I’ve been going back through all your old videos for the past few weeks, been a subscriber for years but have had a serious pokemon kick recently. You genuinely are the best poketuber on the platform. Your insight and experience really shines through in these videos and I think I speak for everyone when I say keep up the great content. Thanks for all you do for the community

[@PPeasants]

This video is fantastic, as always (the storytelling is great and the team is evil lmao), but I wanna give some extra love to those illustrations that appeared throughout the video. They were awesome! They gave a lot of life to each and every moment they appeared in! It was such a cool addition to the video!

[@zachherron1775]

I'm here for Wolfey's villain arc, go show them the world champ difference

[@shadowacesonic2827]

The ability to claw back a game after leading the wrong Pokemon and being two turns behind with an intimidated physical attacker is actually INSANE, that's the WCD at work babyyyyyyyyyy

[@josepholivarez1281]

In a video talking about a Baltimore regional competition, it takes Wolfey 2:50 to talk about Dudunsparce

[@LexSchilperoord]

*Dudunsparce

[@eradian1]

This is easily the coolest team you've made. This format is so much cooler than anything else imo. You're actually playing pokemon as a trainer in a field of trainers and not just duplicating a bunch of "1 of" legendaries with no variety. This feels like what pokemon should be

[@DeraldSny]

Concur! I don’t know why they didn’t do this before.

I've been watching your "team-building for X tournament" videos for a while, and I really think that this is the greatest most evil team you've ever assembled. Everything you pulled off was so f-ing smart. Truly World Champ Diff.

[@steviejp1505]

Wolfe's GIRLFRIEND appears at 25:52

[@001HK0]

I think part of why switching out doesn't change your speed ordering with mycelium might is that if switching in changed your speed ordering you could be surprise slept from nowhere which seems less fun than a fast spore + switch out. Of course, this assumes the devs thought about this combo.

[@parkershaw3753]

Personally, my theory is that because Mycelium Might was de-activated at the start of the turn, Spore just never was flagged to be affected by it.

[@petrie911]

I would guess that priority brackets are locked in at the start of the turn.

[@Strewt]

Wolfie, I absolutely love the little animations, like when garchomp is looking at the team stat sheet behind your back. They are pure gold.

[@ringlemur9666]

Wolfe REMOVING Incineroar was NOT on my bingo card

[@____orphevs]

i love how this dude reinvents the wheel at every tournament he goes

[@F14thunderhawk]

playing safe doesnt actually get you wins. you do need to experiment and gamble. At its core theres nothing super experimental here, but its all designed against common teams, either Psyspam, Ursaluna, or Psymoon.

[@That-One-Will]

Wolfey's videos have been getting better and better! And his teams are getting more... "Creative" (Evil)

[@minecraftcreeper777]

When the game came out, i was like: "i wish wheezing was in the game so toedscruel could sine... oh well" but then the dlc came out, and i was like "well, i wish i was skilled enough to make it work*. Im glad the goat also thought about it and made it work, im gonna focus more on the game so one day ill be as good as wolfey (its very unlikely)

[@SamridhAnand]

Absolutely love how y'all keep upping the visuals of these wideos!! However, the script this time was just a bit too long and drawn out. The pre battles section, in particular, could be more edited down and impactful x

[@srikanthpeddireddy203]

My favorite part was when he said "it's Weezing time" and weezed all over the place

[@thetrav2100]

*sexy weezing noises intensify*

[@TLPenenn]

Amazing video, Wolfe; love hearing your tournament stories, from the teambuilding to the battles to the very end! Was also nice that there wasn't any drama/controversy around this tournament (barring people getting mad at the team lol) nor any overly sentimental rationalizations. Surprised this came out before the NAIC and Worlds videos, since I thought those would be a priority, but given how good this tournament went (and how good you did without an extreme ammount of struggle), I can understand why we got it first!

While obviously a competitive setting like this means coming out victorious is a huge focus and the main goal, it was incredibly heartwarming to hear you had fun despite landing at the 9th spot. People tend to get so hyperfocussed on "being the best" they forget that games are supposed to be fun as well, it sounded like this tournament had a very healthy balance of both!
