I think it’s really underrated how clearly Wolfe explains his strategies and the current battle situation, it’s really informative and the way he talks makes it easier for someone to maybe go, “I wanna try competitive Pokémon “

[@Fob4ever]

[@alexandermetcalf]

I took a break from VGC for a few months because of personal stuff, and when I come back I see wolfey went from 500k subs to a million. Stuff like this is the reason why, it's so easy to understand what he's talking about at any given point

I've been subscribed to Wolfey since 2016, I'm so proud of how far his content has come in the past few years. His videos have always been super entertaining (I don't play competitive at all and I still love watching him) but he's truly taken things to the next level recently. I feel like he's transitioned from a competitive player who makes KZbin videos into a competitive player who is a full blown Pokemon content creator.

[@tsvh383]

the thing i love about this channel is that i absolutely know nothing about competitive pokemon and only played it a lot casually yet with how the videos are made i can understand exactly whats happening and why some things are as cool, smart or lucky as it is. seeing what these pokemon can all do (when theyre not overleveled one shotting npcs) is just so cool to me. a pokemon id never ever use in the main game can look super fun to use competitively and the duo battles give so much more possibility for fun and cool strats. being told real quick at the start what every pokemon can do and what their purpose is just makes it really nice to watch. only piece of competitive pokemon i watch :)

[@ecozy_]

agreed!!! i picked up pokemon for the first time ever in summer 2022 and even i can follow along with these videos, even though i don't remember all the resistances or understand some status moves yet. this channel has probably contributed to me being 3 pkmn games deep now even though i only discovered the game for myself half a year ago, it's taught me so much and made the franchise even more compelling for me :)

Playing games at a high level is always very interesting. Like, I think it's amusing how Murkrow is so omnipresent as a ready answer to Dondozo, and yet, in this tournament there isn't a single Dondozo in sight.

[@Deadflower019]

It's the metagame triangle. The standard meta game is beaten by a countermeta, the countermeta gets so popular that people stop using the standard meta and build counters around the countermeta, and in a healthy meta, that countercountermeta usually doesn't fare well against the standard meta. Meta.

[@lunamaster123]

You got it backwards. Murkrow is a good Pokemon in general. Being the only Prankster Tailwind setter gives it a monopoly on instant Tailwind support. It was going to be used regardless of other Pokemon because of that. On the flip side, Dondozo is only good if you don't have an answer to it. Murkrow being common as a Tailwind setter means that it is everywhere. Since it can Haze away Dondozo's boosts away, running Dondozo isn't a good idea. That's why you didn't see any. To put it simply, Murkrow isn't run to as counter to Dondozo, but it can easily invalidate it. Because of this, you don't see Dondozo because it gets hard countered by a fairly common Pokemon.

Wolfey makes it so easy to understand his thinking, matchups, and what makes plays so good. It's very welcomed that he focuses purely on his own gameplay and doesn't diss others even when he loses. Sometimes there are bad matchups and sometimes people are outplayed. You can feel the love he has for Pokemon and it's made me get back into it (aside from casual play of the game).

Indeedee sets up terrain and does indeedee things until it faints, or you can switch it out immediately into co-star flamigo. Either way, get flamigo in, give it white herb to counteract the def drop from armarouge’s weak armour and you have a boosted acrobatics with +2 attack and speed.
