THIS VIDEO WAS SUPPOSED TO GO UP LAST WEEKEND DURING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS BUT I WAS TOO TIRED TO GET IT READY APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY

[@liambyrne6951]

Hi

[@tgame43]

It’s okay Wolfe

[@aFlame321]

Don’t worry about it

[@phycobyte1337]

It's alright, no need to startle us with all caps lol

[@ruileite4579]

I will be expecting a 10 hour apology video with you playing the trombone throughout

[@XylobeX]

If anyone is curious: Regidrago was used by 3 players on day 2 of Worlds, 2 of whom used the same 6 Pokemon (if not the same team) as Ansena's tournament-winning team mentioned in the video. The highest-ranked of them placed 61st overall. That's comparable to regular Articuno, which was used by 2 players and peaked at 70th place. Can't be right every time!

[@why3994]

Lol 😂

[@mortmortington240]

rest in piece brah

[@paolomandala02]

how does that compare to the number of teams that brought regidrago to day 1?

[@ryancampbell4801]

Can see him explode once kyogre is allowed where just speedy spread big dog

[@jackclifton5434]

Regidrago also made top 8 on two different teams in the seniors (second oldest) division so overall that’s kinda crazy

[@Edujs23]

I like how they Nerfed Eleki's ability without touching Draco's one

[@worldiefeard8396]

Well, generational nerfs have been done to pokemon that have overperformed in the previous generation. This gen they hit Urshifu-dark, Rillaboom, Zacian and Regieleki which as you probably know were extremely popular last gen. They tecnically nerfed Zamazenta's stats since they had to match Zacian's total BST and ability, but ended up buffing him anyway since he finally got access to Body Press at least. Regidraco had nearly 0 usage, so no need to hit him, in fact he got buffed by gaining Earth Power / Earthquake which it didn't have last gen, meaning he doesn't need to terastalize to hit pokemon immune to his stab (whereas Regieleki more or less has to).

[@butteredsalmonella]

Its odd. They nerfed Wicked Blow, Transistor and Glacial Lance but they still decided to nerf Zamazenta alongside Zacian.

[@captainericvgc]

I don't. They should've nerfed both or neither

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

On the other end of the spectrum, they nerfed Zamazenta’s ability in response to Zacian!

[@yuankang0127]

@@butteredsalmonella I mean it makes sense since they are a pair of box legendaries so they have to have to same BST so they had to nerf it but I'm pretty sure that Zamazenta a better move pool since in gen 8 that was one of the main reasons it was so bad Also fun fact during the later half of gen 8 Smogon were actually considering moving Zamazenta down to OU

[@thatoneguy3840]

its a shame that regidrago is overlooked in singles as well, it one-shots most non-fairies and slapping a scarf on it lets it hit like a double-decker bus with jet engines.

[@fancymustache3793]

only a double decker? naw its atleast a triple with rocket engines

[@jacksonsmith2955]

The top 10 pokemon by usage in OU last July were: Great Tusk, an extremely reliable stealth rock setter Kingambit, a bulky steel type with strong priority Iron Valiant, a strong and fast fairy type Gholdengo, a bulky steel type with reliable recovery and a spin blocker Samurott Hisui, an extremely reliable spikes setter Dragapult, an extremely fast and strong dragon type with great STAB Baxcalibur, an ice type with strong priority Slowking Galar, an extremely specially bulky pokemon with reliable recovery Zapdos, which isn't a huge deal Enamorus, a Fairy/Flying type that completely counters dragon/ground coverage. Pretty rough top 10 for a pokemon that relies on never taking damage. Sure, in the right scenarios it can beat all of these pokemon, but it REALLY needs the right scenario. It needs a boosting item to 2HKO standard AV Glowking, Gholdengo frequently runs air balloon, and keeping hazards off the field isn't exactly the easiest task in the world. Suffering quite a bit from the Rampardos theorem.

@@jacksonsmith2955 fair point, but unfortunately for you I've made an internet comic with you as the soyjack and me as the gigachad. (but yeah it suffers a lot from lack of coverage and having to not take hits)

[@aldwych285]

Earth Power and Earthquake were really great buffs for Drago However, they could've given Drago Flash Cannon and Iron Head as well

[@stefanoceccato353]

I would really like to see Iron head regidrago Remember: when regidrago terastalize it's the dragon head that receives the hat

[@colossaldonut5190]

Maybe we will get move tutors in the DLC like in the last game

[@Dynacrown]

flash cannon in combination with earth power would turn its weaknesses into soup honestly deserved since eleki's been stealing the spotlight for a bit too long now

[@aldwych285]

@@Dynacrown It's like the Zacian and Zamazenta situation. One legendary is bad while the other one is broken. But I'm glad that Drago is getting attention from GameFreak.

[@Dynacrown]

@@aldwych285 Zamazenta got Body Press this gen, but i really don't think it deserved the nerf to its ability. Game Freak should've pulled a Regidrago with it too imo

[@gregthespinarak]

The fact that Regidrago’s terastal hat is on the dragon arm’s head is just so cute to me I really hope he sees more usage since he’s my favorite regi

[@Mehlrt]

Regidrago is a personal favorite of mine. Glad to see he’s finally getting recognized😂

[@briansantoso5125]

Ever since I used it I realized I win more easily in rank match. So yeah

[@Ultra289]

Its even better now than in gen 8 lol 😂

[@namantherockstar]

Wolfey inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging...

[@planteruines5619]

yeah , regidrago is better than regieleki

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Also used in a few TCG decks, very cool mon!

[@ChipDrewPog]

honestly huge missed opportunity to make regidrago a Gigantamax. He could've become a whole dragon again instead of being just the head.

[@EnriqueLaberintico]

They didn't introduce any Gigantamax at all in the CT and no Gigantamax outside of starters and Urshifu in the IoA. Feels like a symptom of being rushed.

[@puppies3330]

if regidrago got a gigantamax then good ol’ eleki will get one 😊

[@Patterrz]

Zamazenta is the most redheaded step child that ever redheaded stepchild'd

[@orphen923]

Reads "The forgotten Legendary" Me: Its probably Enamorus See's Regidrago Me: Damn, I forgot that one

[@user-hf6go4se6m]

XD

[@IIkaine]

I hope they buff and make regis with unique abilitys and moves

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Legends Arceus buffed a bunch of Sinnoh Pokémon giving them new moves (like Cresselia), so a Hoenn-based Legends game could work very well in their favour, and possibly have an ancient Regigigas that doesn’t have Slow Start.

[@Mustache99]

​@@TwilightChomperEnthusiastregigigas without his ability would be way too good, Also now It has rest and protect to Outlast the five turns

[@senpai2.054]

Regirock: Sand Stream Regice: Heatproof Registeel: Filter Regigigas: Clear Body

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

@@Mustache99 At the moment Gigas is gimmicky if anything. Even if in a legends game they make a form with lower stats without slow start, or make a slightly less hindering ability, it could be much better.

[@lipika2841]

​@@Mustache99idk about it being "too good" as it's a Normal-type, but it'd at last be a solid pick for the team since the days of Weezing shutting off its ability.

[@andrewg.3281]

Wo-Chien went crazy at worlds too, getting into top cut and finishing 19th. While the highest placing Ting-Lu was 70th.

[@cavinalsup1763]

Hot Take: I like Regidraco’s design better than Regieleki

[@failedkirby618]

No

[@Random-__.-stuff]

I agree, I like regidraco more

[@legromp2357]

I think draco needs just one more thing to make its design great. Right now it just looks like a ball with claws.

[@powercool4471]

Agreed

[@KindaKaon]

fortunately we still got a few regidragos at worlds, including one in T8 seniors :)

[@gabrielcastillo9745]

2020/2023 were good years to be a Regi fan. New members instroduced, and we saw awesome competitive displays by our boys both in VGC and TCG. I will never forget watching Regigigas with Weezing taking over the metagame.

[@tobymacdonald5893]

I got to master rank for the first time last summer using gigi weezing :)

[@sopcol3805]

Yeah, regibox was sick in the tcg and was at first seen as a meme deck. Later on it became a huge threat in the format before SV rotated its energies

[@realmdarkness]

I love it when forgotten Pokemon turn out to be monsters in the right situation

[@ryanmacdougall4651]

If you're running tera-steel Regidrago, you could use steel terablast against fluttermane and make the attack 1 point higher than sp attack so it's a physical terablast.

[@SquidSushi_]

What nature then? A neutral one?

[@renecuajo9965]

Terrible idea. You'd be sacrificing way too much SpAtk for something the 5 other mons in your team can handle.

[@VampiresAreRealGuys]

@@renecuajo9965 i dont think its a terrible idea but you really want max SpA so dragon energy is still usable when you take damage. it might work on a bulky AV set or something

[@renecuajo9965]

@@VampiresAreRealGuys No, it really is a terrible idea no matter how you look it, you're tunnel-visioning in one mon only. 100 base Spatk is not that high so it needs to be maxed out. What this guy is saying would imply running a neutral or -def nature which is not ideal, and because the base stats of Atk and SpAtk are identical you have to even out the distribution, which could've been spent simply maxing out SpAtk. This is why you get 4 mons to play with at a time. This is not 1v1 Challenge Cup.

[@djmagikkal]

Ouuuuu truly forgotten . We wanna see you do a video with the song “Dupe - Dost” 😅😅

[@darkwolf9637]

One of the most forgotten legendaries is silvally. Its just good enough to not be remembered for being bad but not good enough to be remembered for that either. And its main gimmick of changing types with an item is far more well known for arceus

[@pingufan1239]

Wolfey at least give some respect to our lad Arcticuno, he’s had a bit of a comeback recently in VGC

[@michaelpodgorski1692]

I've actually been using Regidrago on showdown since the beginning of S/V because I knew he was going to destroy.

[@gabrielantunez7642]

What team have you been using could you paste it? I guess some trick room variation

[@flallana18]

Regidrago’s time to shine has finally come!

[@tntsoccer21]

[@balrawg5990]

Definitely has... it made Top 64.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Drago and Eleki were a hard choice to make, but I’m happy I stuck with the funny lil’ draconic chattering teeth! Scale Shot on this dude was so much fun and I hope that it comes back!

[@joethegreat7242]

Props to Wo-Chien for trying his best at this year's World Championships.

[@Jamieswiftie13]

Legendary pokemon have lost their lustre for me but scarlet and violet really revived the awe they’ve had for the first 3 gens

[@MickFarrell94]

Bringing the Paradox legendaries in with raids really killed the hype of them but I understand why they done it that way

Haven't had time to look at anything pokemon related recently but there's always time for a Wolfey video every now and then

[@diogenesenuts]

welcome back!! I got a huge kick out of seeing you at the front of the pack in the Championship video thing they played when the tourny kicked off. I laughed audibly and was like 'SICK 'EM WOLFE!' - you did really well despite everything. Looking forward to seeing you back in the sauce next year

[@ceoofjeanneism6777]

My biggest issue with mr drago is that when it is in its Head form it resembles Charizard which gamefreak has made clear it isn't a Dragon

[@giant0mantis]

The sphere is the dragon part obviously

[@theserpent8667]

Isn't a dragon *yet.*

[@rhomuell]

Hey wolfey, long time subscriber here. I just wanna say your scripting and delivery have improved so much! I've been out of the vgc loop all gen9, but this was so well written and delivered, that it kept me interested, and i was still able to absorb the technical info. Also, commiserations on early worlds exit. Hope you continue competing as rooting for you is always a joy.

[@travk5986]

You should do getting #1 in the world with only gen 1 team, then gen 2, then gen 3, etc.

[@Wingsaber]

I think its really cool that there has generally been a good balance of legendaries and regular pokemon in pro play. As a casual singleplayer-only pokemon fan, I grew up thinking that legendary pokemon were OP, so I always imagined competitive play being filled with nothing but legendaries. Glad that ended up not being the case

[@sashiboop]

2:17 imagine going back in time to tell Wolfey that Wo-Chien placed higher than Ting-Lu at worlds

[@surendraboodhoo1898]

Props to the editor. Really good stuff!!!

[@chrisfacchiano7356]

Scope lens focus energy has become one of my favorite strategies to date and it works great with Draco meteor to ignore the Sp. Atk drops. Regidrago gets all these tools plus Tera steel Tera blast and it’s such a fun set to use on the ladder

[@jimmyjohn2902]

This video made me want to use Regidrago. Not a competitive VGC, but watching your videos inspired me to at least play VGC on showdown from time to time, and it’s a lot of fun! I still have a lot to improve on, mostly predictions, but it’s been a fun grind! I started watching you in your gen 8 days, and I am very thankful for you putting out all of these informational vids!

[@emburst859]

Funny how this video goes out late on the one occasion where we see Articuno and Wo-Chien doing well.

[@BriaBri]

I love regigrago 😭 I was so sad to see he wasn’t getting used as much as regieleki.

[@WalrusTemp]

Regidrago was canonically supposed to be the strongest regi but the villagers were like "Regigigas, please don't make this thing" and so he didn't. and Now we have an incomplete form of what Regidrago could've been

I used Galarian Articuno in VGC in my local area last year and I became known for it for a short time. I used it to setup tail wind while capitalizing it's ability competitive. Maybe I should bring him out in Scarlet and Violet.

[@MangaSt]

I tried Regidrago after I see Cydonia made a twich episode (months ago) on a team based on it. Yes, Fluttermane was a big issue but with a little care it is vey fun to use (and I suck on VGC). Yep, I agree that Regidrago could be great.

I actually used this Pokemon with Trick Room and Room service as the item. You can run him with average speed but once Trick Room hits, his speed will go down by 1 making him slower then most Pokemon. It was good tho.

[@saniwada]

I'm a big fan of Regi Drago, I messed around with it a lot in sword and shield running a choice spec list. It was inconsistent but when it worked it just devasted teams, love it ever since.

[@RFDN0]

General mons with moves like dragons Maw (Eruption, water spout) normally only work because they are faster or in the case of Torkoal abuse trickroom. Regidraco just suffers from having a middling speed stat and an immunity against it.
