Seeing wolfe using incineroar is like watching luke actually join the dark side

[@ppo190]

Archaludon just feels wayyyy too strong. A terrific defensive typing with its weaknesses typically bring physical attacks and having stamina. With incredible stats and a great move pool?? Too good I think

[@ui8087]

I think Wolfe’s team just flat out had no real answers. Earthpower/aurasphere or something that hits neutral on the special attack side was what he really needed before snarls went out. Bringing inceneroar which effectively did nothing for 2 games was kind of… yeah… Body press uses the user’s defense stat so intimidate does nothing, while parting shot only really lowers special attack in the interaction.

[@sunofabob]

​@@ui8087 even if you aren't hitting for super effective on the special side you have to have something. In a meta where Sneasler is known for high usage you need something better to hit the Arch consistently.

[@patrol2omega]

That Snarl miss was a free fall

[@henny137]

*Wolfes yanmega naturally outspeeds both of stefan's remaining pokemon* rosemary: AND YANMEGA IS GOING TO GET MORE AND MORE OF THOSE SPEED BOOST!!!

[@padde6677]

Also she said that the intimate affects the dmg of the body press, which i doubt

[@legendsinstinct7143]

Game 1 Stefan just had such a bad luck with the flinches and the misses

[@FlowerBoyWorld]

wolfe really just brought nothing against archaludon lmao

[@brandonalley8396]

I see Wolfe and I glick watch me gleek

[@poweredman]

Yeah, that world champ diff really helped him L O S E. hahahahahahaha what an L

[@deethevirgo]

That’s guys team was goated, omg! He had everything he needed. WP! Great battle Wolfe, ily ❤️🥹🥰

[@nolanstone4723]

Once again we see why Archaludon is banned in 6v6 singles Smogon. Guess we all knew Archaludon and Ursaluna were gonna be easy picks with the power level. I mean the official pokemon art for reg H shows them. Sneasler is known to be broken but i think we all thought it was going to be slightly too frail for doubles. Dire claw is just an infuriating move. Arch would feel alot more balanced if it didnt have body press. Its like best of every world ever. Mixed attacker without investing while getting insane defenses without investing.

[@chmi7933]

coming from a singles perspective too: arch is such a crazy power level to have in this format!

[@5knapp5]

I also feel like Arch having access to Snarl is a bit too much.

[@nathangammage3080]

this is vgc not smogon

[@nolanstone4723]

@@nathangammage3080 oh wow really? Bro... We are making comparisons. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

[@nolanstone4723]

@@5knapp5 Yeah Snarl on top of his Stamina boosts plus typing with an assault vest. There's hardly any Special ground and fighting moves. It's really just Ursaluna bloodmoon right now and you just one show it with body press so it's forced to Tera. Everything else just sits back and watches you tank stuff and get hospitality, heal pulse, love dew from the side. People would probably run toxic in vgc of all things just for this mon... but its steel of course. Like I said, best of every world.

Bro this channel is sick, can't believe I'm watching a regional from the future. "Stefan Mott vs Wolfe Glick l VG Day 1 | 2025 Pokémon Louisville Regional Championships"

[@L_Calvo]

2025 season 😆 but yea it can be confusing.

[@papernes]

@@L_Calvo Maybe update your title then.

[@walterwheeler1035]

That was an intense game!

[@Onimass]

Wow! Not a fan of the slow tank stall builds typically, but that was an impressive comp!

[@KMSNOW8]

The ability Unaware can ignore stat changes right?

[@mkr4646]

Why not bring a special attacker for archaludon?

[@Nikotov3]

Hindsight is 20/20, but that game losing starting turn in game 3 was so easily avoidable. Stefan's gameplan the whole time was get arch's defence up and have him be a raidboss. 100 percent the gameplan was beatup and tera ghost. There would be zero downsides in just close combatting the arch and fakeout into arch as well. If maushold uses follow me, it doesnt get arch defence up and its only other play is to beatup on arch. There was never a world where close combat into maus was the play especially since you have the incin threatening fakeout. Not to mention taking yanma every fight, it barely did anything against the gameplan. Sure it hits some good value but we saw the only reason was because stefan let it since it wasnt any threat whatsoever. I dont know what wolfeys 5th and 6th mon were but they definitely wouldve helped more than yanma.

[@jordanlowe7347]

Cant fake out and close combat the arch because maushold is faster than sneasler. arch will be at +5 defense before sneasler even hits. then the arch player switches in sinistcha and probably just wins off +6 defense full health arch anyways. just a massive weakness to beat up + arch which is a common archetype

[@franz009franz]

Holy its pengwin. Nicht to see some old sc2 players around. 😊

[@poseidontv3633]

I see Wolfe, I click.

[@Zonks666]

From the future!

[@ManDyter]

Respect to Wolfe for bringing a Yanmega to tournaments. Stefan team is very boring tbh. Every pokémon on his team is only there to keep Archuladon alive.

[@patrol2omega]

He never used Trick Room against Wolfey high speed team lol

[@s7arkdle]

Archaludon is a pure castle

[@Mad.Edd.702]

That protect me comp was mad corney imo 😂 this is wat vgc is now?

[@michaelowens4369]

Why did Wolfe leave archaludon alone all 3 games. He let it set up and remain high hp and keep its assault vest. I wonder what his plan was to kill it he only won game 1 on RNG

[@technology5979]

If I were to guess, he figured it would be nearly impossible to kill with the support mons still active. Maushold was buffing the defences with Friend Guard, Klefki was setting up screens, and Poltchageist was playing healer and redirecter for most of Wolfe's team.

[@Forbranna]

I probably would've lead incin + archaludon, fake out the archaludon in order to let wolfe get an elecrro shot off. And then Wolfie's arch can terastalize into the electric type in order to live the body press on the next turn.Thanks to the ability stalwart, Maushold cannot redirect a plus one dragon pulse from Wolfie's archaludon, and Wolfie's archaludon outspeeds, so he should be able to take it down in three hits without too much trouble. Hopefully.

[@Alhalmeya]

yanmega is the goat

[@smashacat7850]

Great job commentators

[@Savings_and_Grift_Plan]

I hate watching stall strats, like watching paint dry. It sucked when Rajan Bal used encore Whimsicott to PP stall Raging Bolt and it sucks watching Archaludon sit on the field and just soak hits.

[@runningpasttents]

That is 1 way to admit that Ur attention span is shorter than a goldfishs. Go watch fighting games or something.

[@enoyna1001]

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

[@harryp3804]

Wolfee is a just a random high risk player , barely any safety in his plays.

[@SaltMerchant]

Just a random player who keeps competing and winning tournaments for years consistently

[@dcfc7156]

Yet he has the most tournament wins of all time

[@godDawg_]

That's terrible team building this time around ... I don't why he tries so hard to be different

[@bruciesanchez6381]

Chunky wolfe cant hang

Wolfe lost. Another good day

[@frankenstein621]

Wolf haxing a win like usual.

is it just me who is annoyed by the commentary?

No doubt a hacked yanmega
