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.

[@ui8087]

@@sunofabob sneazler is not going to do shit to a bulky alcheladon with x4 defense. One body press and it’s wiped off from the face of the arena.

[@cherryred6082]

​@senny- got a big flinch though

[@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.

this is vgc not smogon

[@nolanstone4723]

@@Beware_The_Crows 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.

[@FlowerBoyWorld]

wolfe really just brought nothing against archaludon lmao

I mean I felt he had a shot if he committed to killing the archaludon early

[@XXnoblev2XX]

gotta respect wolfe, brought a yanmega and a sneasler and made them pretty damn decent.

[@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.

[@williamlopez213]

Sick stall meta

[@DMastaTrainer]

I saw one player getting really lucky.

[@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

[@itz_gl1tch775]

@@jordanlowe7347 the better play would have been to tera incin ghost and knock off plus sneasler close combat since that deals chip + removes vest that allows for a winning archaludon endgame

[@someguyonline321]

Both incineroar and a bug type like Yanmega on Wolfie's team is so crazy considering how much hate they get from him.

[@Putitonatshirtguy]

If it wasn’t for bad luck, Stefan in game one would have no luck at all

[@JT-gi8rx]

Why wouldn’t Stefan use Body Press on Wolfes Archaludon in the late game? That Flash Cannon into Yanmega was silly when he could’ve killed the opposing Archaludon with a body press. Also, the follow me from Maushold was weird when he could’ve used Beat Up again on his Archaludon and really secured the win. Oh well, at least he managed to manage the win, but just barely.

[@itz_gl1tch775]

yanmega is more important to kill there because air slash can flinch and wolf's arch was -2 sp atk

[@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.

[@RD-um9dy]

Because that Pokémon would be impossible to kill if you left the support Pokémon alive. Beat up mouse was impossible to stop

[@Alhalmeya]

yanmega is the goat

[@LaBandadelosAnimes]

Es creído ese Wolf... 😒

[@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.

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.

[@fulcagay1277]

Some player just hit the stronger move, other players play smart strategy games. Both are acceptable gameplays. You may hate it because it’s not “strong game” but for me is just another type of strategy than just “strong move makes ouchie”
