How I Won a Tournament with a Strange Pokemon...

[@cmdroldar]

4:45 knocking off scarf to slow down urshifu in order to ko flutter was an amazing play holy hell

[@evandacowboy]

Honestly 200iq play, so much fun to see something like that

[@CrazyDave12]

Things like that make Pokémon really fun

[@eXian12]

It was something so obviously you can do and no complicated mechanics but this is probably the first time I've seen this play. That blows my mind.

[@ChriSX13]

world champ difference

[@cmdroldar]

Fr

[@supremepanta9564]

the fact that the first guy saw the sneasler and said " yup i aint dealing with that shit " and forfieted . its like if your opponent has an unusal pokemon you know you are about to get in some tough shit

[@kobiemartinbose6126]

He knew and predicted the sneasler massacre so he bailed out immediately to avoid any mental and emotional trauma

[@vincentdempsey1009]

He probably thought it had dire claw and was going to get beaten by rng

[@GardenOf-Eden]

​@vincentdempsey1009 do you mean rng?

[@jdiedzzz]

I don’t play much doubles so idk a lot but that Sneasler set is extremely common in Singles. I see and use it all the time. Most people that play OU singles already know what it’s gonna try and do

[@N279]

Or more likely he made a bad team that gets 4-0ed by a single Pokémon

[@KindlyCryptid]

That self knock off to instantly change speed tiers is unironically the world champ diff!

[@aokuang2958]

babe wake up new wolfey vid

[@AssaultFlamingo]

This is insane

[@SoleSurvivorVGC]

I was your top 8 opponent! It was 1 am when I was playing and I got a few game-throwing reads wrong but you played well and it was a great set nonetheless! I hope to play you again sometime :)

Did you ever find out it was Wolfey? Or did u just find out now lol

gw2 fans are somewhat rare; good to see them.

[@aldwych285]

@@Skele10bro finding gw2 fans is like finding shiny pokemon

[@mavriiick]

It's really funny seeing Wolfey call pokemon like sneasler and espathra "bad" or "unusual" despite their sheer power in singles. I know doubles is way different, but it still feels weird seeing him describe these pokemon like that. Can't wait to see him call Gliscor or Baxcalibur niche picks.

[@lertik3898]

Ironically, you're right about Baxcalibur, it's quite niche. It was used a whole lot before, and it probably still is good thanks to Alolan Ninetales, but it's almost never used thanks to Flutter Mane's ridiculous presence. I don't think I've seen a single Gliscor anywhere, at any point. Just use Landorus-T

[@Erousagi098]

He already use gliscor before

[@dominicpirola8240]

Gliscor's pretty weak in doubles coz he gets his value through spamming protect and can thus be ignored

[@Wuerschtle]

Gliscors biggest problem by far is urshifu.

[@NapoleanBlown-aparte]

Im planting a comment here so i can get a notification when some dude whines about A. Him being like this to good single mons being "bad" or B. Goes in the way of he who shall not be named and accuses him of hacking

[@niallmullins3398]

You can *feel* the capitals every time "The Sneasler" gets mentioned

[@bubblesys]

i love how everyone just calls it The Sneasler like its the grinch or something

[@AltrTheEgo]

Woah, that knock off into Urshifu was a great play!

[@sewerdork567]

World champion diff as he would say

[@theoneadressed6281]

"Weird pokemon" -> now meta

[@minimeister1889]

fr, most used pokemon at both louisville and lille regionals

[@the_one_gio]

I really like these videos where you explain the turns and your thought process. Also, that ending was great.

[@standardtoad]

Watching this in October 2024... Wolf was ahead of his time!

[@lauried.bunnykins9063]

as a Draft League player, seeing Sneasler branded as an "unusual" Pokemon is very silly to me. the mystical world of vgc never fails to impress me, i love your stuff!

[@ZeBanded]

Hearing hisuian arcanine labelled as lesser used is so funny nowadays, pre worlds reg d was a ride

[@calook1334]

4:57 Knocking off your own urshifu to slow it down in trick room is the most chad play I have ever seen

[@Kereea]

I love how both Wolfie and PM7 agree it's THE Sneasler.

[@shroob9275]

thanks for introducing competitive pokemon to me, got me hooked to team building and trying new decks in showdown!

[@avinashmathur7865]

4:51 Woah, that was an insane play.

[@SpookyMist0909___]

If only he knew 9-ish months later…

[@BETTER.THANYOU.]

Rillaboom knock off on urshifu during trickroom is a big brain move 👍

[@MaxWelton]

Using knock off on yourself is a genius move I’ve never seen before

[@Srelathon]

And it all comes back around with Sneasler being a massive threat in Reg H

[@N0TESLA]

That I somehow beat semi consistently

[@weirdcreature9928]

I love how your editor is clearly and consistently an ace attorney fan. Great music choices all around, AA has some of the most banger OSTs

[@sparkcircuit7029]

I rewatched RTGame's perspective of the Legends Arceus tourney recently so seeing The Sneasler getting more VGC use is nice 😂

[@remebeau]

Every ursaluna I have is named big bertha in honour of his win

[@Missdreavus1]

Funny thing about Sneasler now-

[@kraykyle]

Bowling VGC I'm laughing so hard, but it's fitting with how Wolfey rolls everyone

[@G32hero]

Wolfe just wanted to say thank you for everything you and your friends have done for the VGC fanbase. I have been watching your videos for several months now and not even realizing id been picking up tricks. Ive been making it into Master Ball tier on Violet consistently every season now learning from you and your friends.

[@Fizzwizz2109]

this video hit differnt now

[@bielmfig4534]

Wolfey looked at sneasler and said: “I can fix her”

[@itsalluck]

I like how he calls Sneasler "The" Sneasler and no title for the rest of the pkm

[@mechanicalnemesis1379]

this vid hits different now

[@NeoGraena]

Sneasler is insane, in terms of what it can do. Unburden, and the stuff that can allow it to work are insane, alongside Dire Claw just being the most sickening move to exist (50% chance to Poison, Sleep OR Paralyze), and synergy with Acrobatics as a Coverage option. and for Singles I've seen people use Big Nugget + Fling (which is 130 BP) to handle Gholdengo (who is REALLY relevant there due to blocking Rapid Spin and Defog at the same time, and being pretty strong itself.) Sneasler is just sickening as an Unburden user, with access to strong STAB and Coverage that FITS Unburden perfectly either from activating the Ability (Fling or Close Combat with White Herb) OR comboing with it nicely (Acrobatics).

[@ferwolf8076]

I've recently fallen in love with Sneasler for being a funny out of nowhere sweaper using unburden and acrobatics, also for being a sissy cat weasel that thinks she's better than you and this made me happy to watch

[@OddyOddity-ob2uv]

Out of the tournament walks, on two legs, walks, a full fledged mean girl bully pop star. A cheerleader with a side ponytail and a fresh manny.

[@dewtran]

More small tourney videos with off-meta mons please! Theyre so fun and entertaining to watch especially at a world-class level

[@VM13TV]

That knock off into the Urshifu was INCREDIBLE.

[@puppetguts7472]

Wolfie this was such a good video!! I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the whole time :) it’s nice to see that sneasler is having success in the format

[@austinboyer460]

My new favorite Wolfe quote “in life, you are either are the Sneaseler or you get sneaseled.”

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

Very happy to see the sneasler doing well. I know it's a divisive design but I love it.

[@Jp_Velociraptor]

5:03 That is smart and something that would catch anyone off guard

[@CosmicPlatonix]

This one's especially funny to me because I just recently re-watched your video covering the Legends Arceus tournament, in which you repeatedly dunked on Sneasler.

[@guildmasterri5995]

Look who's number 1 mon now in vgc she's serving

[@utatanepiko7087]

Saw Sneasler in the video, clicked on video. I love this tall weirdo so much (not me loving it because I got an Alpha Hisuian Sneasel and evolved it just to see how tall it would get and that thing is MASSIVE)

[@Maysumii]

Damn that was some really impressive battling!! Kudos to you and the other finalist

[@charginggemo8340]

This sneasler reminds me alot of hawlucha, flying gem acrobatic unburden was a major threat and I'm viewing this sneasler as a spiritual successor

[@GodVessel]

Knock off on your own mon to win is actually wild next level

[@KonkyDonk]

Its cute how he refers to sneasler as "The Sneasler" whenever it comes into battle.

[@Shiradrenaline]

Before I even watch the rest: terrific thumbnail. Been waiting to watch this all day 🤩

[@M.W.2]

that last line had me rolling on the floor laughing isterically when I'm having a thought time

[@galactic-hamster7043]

Wolfey showing up uo with an uncommon pokemon is like drag meets where if you see a car that doesn't look like it belongs there, you gotta run the other way- bc it's being driven by someone who has magnitudes more knowledge and tricks under that hood than anyone else and will absolutely embarrass you with no hesitation

[@wendelljoseph2778]

I enjoyed this, fast and entertaining. Had me glued

[@VitorAugusto231]

The thumbnails are so good! Keep it up!

[@ItsAZues]

The Sneasler in the thumbnail is just perfect.

[@Dyteck]

Idk who does ur thumbnails, but they’re amazing, I needa see more art

[@CaulkMongler]

Yoooo the knock off onto YOUR OWN pokemon was next level imo I’d have never thought of that myself

[@TViewier]

After I saw Sneasler in the thumbnail I was very happy cause I have used that thing for multiple months and was excited to see you use it.

[@BenD_Bass]

Bro, that knock off on the choice scarf was genius

[@eligavrilman6143]

awsome finishing quote, gonna use that in my first tournament

[@GemsOfRedditStudios]

Loved every second of the video. Good stuff 🙏🏼

[@insertnameheretf]

Hisuian Arcanine in Reg D: “Underplayed” Hisuian Arcanine in Reg E: *casually wins all four regionals so far* Amazing what a change to the rules and a bit of time does to the viability of a Pokémon.

[@ToastDoge]

Great as always!

[@rayes119]

The legend himself

[@PumaPants248]

I’ve been using Hisuian Sneasel with Eviolite and it’s felt amazing, inner focus make him fake out and intimidate proof with full hp and speed invest he feels bulky and hits hard for a support Pokémon with a fast taunt!

[@CheesyNukes]

Cool!

[@russelldavis1875]

I snooze through most of your match replays but your teambuilding sections are fucking incredibly helpful and informative. I'd take a lot more of videos just about that.

[@Mikalya]

Honestly, I only do like nuzlockes and stuff like that but I been watching enough Wolfey videos that I wanted to try competitive pokemon. All I want to say is, this is hard to learn, respect for building weird teams but highly effective for torunaments so far I seen in these videos.

[@Nicki87Chan]

I love the bowlingvgc name idea lol. I love bowling as a competitive sport and I love watching Pokémon and your vids.

[@techno952]

Can’t wait to see what you do to change the team for world, or just making an entirely new one once again. (If I can I challenge you to use a support Pokémon that people aren’t expecting)

[@terryfang]

Whoever made these thumbnails deserve a raise

[@DavtheDartrix-723]

I'm surprised no one is mentioning the Celeste music during the "round 6" Chapter.

[@Mrinvaderman]

[@breadstick502plays3]

[@SirCallywag]

Love to see some sneasler content, very interesting video

[@caelanbaggins]

That Amoonguss in the thumbnail is making me laugh. Me too, buddy. Me too.

[@KirbyTheGrape]

so happy my speedy boi is getting some recognition from the world champ

[@arininquotes8396]

For me this is proof that VGC isn't made worse by the fact that it's dominated by the same few mons, or whatever the criticism du jour is. I'm not pretending to be close to the caliber of player Wolfe is (my showdown elo is like 1100 lol) but I made a sneaseler team that's SO different. Focus sash poison touch with shed tail orthworm for support. Practically different pokemon at that point.

[@tessh3938]

I love so much how every Pokémon is called by name except THE SNEASLER! She’s got her own title!

[@jojoaja8710]

Idk i just like using sneslar with dire claw because the effects are good

[@DevilCat19]

Wolfey is the king of unusual Pokémon

[@TsuchiGamer06]

Self knock off is crazy good omg
