Trying out Wolfe Glick's 9th Place Baltimore Regionals Team (VGC Reg H)

[@danielmcnally1794]

@@Drop0sauceyou’d be surprised. Multiple people have their take on the team. It’s really not hard. I can’t EV to save my life, and I coulda told you 3/4 of them. Simply because we saw his entire teams HP, and through common sense, we can “assume” “our recreations” based off those factors alone. Plus a couple are likely 252/252. That’s all I’m saying.

[@ibnu9969]

​@@danielmcnally1794 true especially for dmg dealers it's rare for the EVs to not be 252/252

[@MrGermanpiano]

Man I love that team. First time seeing Toedscruel in action. Also nice to see Weezing as an offensive instead of "Enable Regigigas and then click Protect or Will-O-Wisp" tool. Big props to Wolfe and the other players that created this team (I remember at least one other player using this team, but I don't remember the name).

[@JanPeverell]

Justin Carris was the other

[@daytonbenson1203]

I love that's you're obviously not on Wolfe's patreon, but shouted it out anyways. Good stuff

[@joshuaryals6358]

Fun Fact, Palafin is actually one of the best water types to put on a weezing team as its ability is still active even with neutralizing gas. And I think regenerater works with the gas too, but idk.

[@K3N71]

honestly one of the most creative teams ive seen in a while. so sad it only got 9th. wp wolfe

[@deshthewraithLoL]

Loving the streak of longer videos

[@Kasaaz]

Reg H has shown just how absolutely centralizing Flutter Mane is for Fairy Types.

[@TheSirondil]

Love this regulation where the power level is low enough to let way more pokemon thrive and battles feel far different each time

[@NewThaiboy9119]

Wolfe is really a crazy, but awesome player...Using Pokémon that a lot of us wouldn't even consider or any combination. I think I saw this team before, but I first I couldn't understand what, why, etc. After seeing you play I do understand it better, but I would take me some time to get a hang of it. I do tend to not understand the other player's team when I decide to try it out, but i do try to come out of my comfort zone and try new things/team combo's, etcs.

[@JD-ve6kn]

Toedscruel and Weezing is such a trolly duo, gotta love it

[@jamesaditya5254]

Game 2 opponent really wanted to sack that incin lol

[@incredibledn]

always nice to see corviknight

[@JT-gi8rx]

I find the toughest thing with corviknight is picking it’s moveset. It’s fun giving it bulk up, or iron defence, and body press.

[@incredibledn]

@@JT-gi8rx i like the bulk up set, but might be too slow rn

[@JT-gi8rx]

@@incredibledn bulk up, brave bird, body press, then roost or tailwind. Iron head is also nice.

[@mongeneral05]

Yeah, in the first game like you said, it's better to spore the Ape and then ignore it until you KO other mons. It's a strategy that I often use if i'm not sure it resist my two mons damage. Since rage fist doesn't do a lot of damage without boost and drain isn't that strong. Of course we have still be careful when it does bulk up. But with this team just spore Ape and focus the others mons first until ape is alone. I don't even think that a +2 attack boost drain punch one hit knock out toedscruel.

[@jenikabartlett9396]

Ape together strong... so get ape alone

[@borzafror]

you could also assume that ape is safety glasses due to them bulking up infront of a faster guranteed sleep user

[@jeronipuff]

unfortunate to forget that hydrei's levitate was disabled second to last game

[@lh3424]

hey im new and dont understand quite a lot, could someone explain how a triple protect couldve won the opponent that first game?

[@jameswbaekpkmn]

If Annihilape gets a Triple Protect, it gets three turns of leftovers recovery and stalls Tailwind so they can outspeed and knock out Weezing afterward + possibly survive the Brave Bird from Corviknight since it went for Bulk Up earlier.

[@ibnu9969]

​@@jameswbaekpkmnwhoa a rare james' reply

[@MayVeryWellBeep]

I feel like the graphics of this game look better these days, and I'm realising that really they're not, they're still the same, but Pokemon Scarlet has finally succeeded in gaslighting me. Great games and video from James as usual, seems like he can't miss in Reg H!

[@MayVeryWellBeep]

Also, I love when James has an inevitable "Weezing moment". "No Stamina boost? But it can't be a Sturdy set..." This happens to literally every Weezing player now and then.

[@HookersAndCoke]

Thank the Lord you did this video cuz I was wondering about the specs on each of his team. 😂

[@loursjudoka]

Funny question . Does hitting yourself in confusion increase rage fist power ??

[@MsVilecat]

Should, as the ability doesn't discriminate/specify where the damage comes from, as long as it's from a direct source.

[@irism4ney]

Nope becauze dat iznt a move

[@somebody4094]

​@@irism4ney It Is, the damage is counted with a 40bp tipeless move used against u with ur atk and def in the formula

[@jamesaditya5254]

@@MsVilecat nope, it doesn't. Unless they changed it at some point. There's a video by DaWoblefet on testing Rage Fist mechanics with timestamps for "Self-hit confusion"

[@JSRC-]

41:52 LOL I forgot Neutralizing Gas existed in your battle as well 🤣 Kind of a unique Arch if that's not the case

[@chimpact]

Would like to see thathypno team or zees vivillon team in action

[@CyanYT]

Archaludon, as in arch bridge. If the H wasn't there, it would be fitting to call it arc instead if arch (arc welding, lightning arc, etc.), but considering its pre-evo is Duraludon, for Dura (duration, durable, etc.), it seems most likely that its name would imply a structural reference, rather than its Electro Shot signature move. Or pronounce it however you want, because even official media can't find consistency with its own pronunciations, and we know what you are talking about :D

[@ZukosCharizard]

Hey @james you are one of the GOATS life long fan here 💯💯💯 you and the other beast coast members are my favorites love seeing you play with wolfes team!

[@tdvgaming1518]

What is the rental code?

[@Kasaaz]

I wonder if the Palafin thing works different as it's in that class of abilities that can't be swapped, etc.

[@connorveitch2984]

I’ve tried using kilawattrel and kingambit instead of corviknight/pawmot it and it’s so much fun Kilawattrel and garchomp start threatens the tailwind but also have to deal with discharge and earthquake for massive damage

[@TheKhfan001]

Can i ask why sleep talk on Hyplosion? Any other move suggestions for that slot?

[@jameswbaekpkmn]

Mainly since the coverage is limited and it allows you to switch into a Spore from an Amoonguss and do something since this team doesn’t have the best ways of removing it quickly with tera. Can also run other fire moves to make up for it

[@ringoosheeesh9741]

yooo what the graph website your using ?

[@benralston5305]

Bridges have arches, yes. But "AR-caladon" does sound much better in my opinion

arKaludon sounds better than arCHaludon. In ancient Greek there was no ch sound, that's why chaos and archangel are pronounced like a K.

[@jamesaditya5254]

good thing we're in modern days 2024 where ch sound are abundant

[@Notmanyusernamesleft]

@jamesaditya5254 your comment doesn't make much sense to me so to clarify: if the arch in archaludon is supposed to imply arch like in archangel as in highest then it should be pronounced arKaludon, given thousands of years of linguistic evolution. Spelling it arkaludon would be more hooked-on-phonics but it wouldnt* imply that it is great, it would imply that it is a container.

[@alistairalexander1369]

@@Notmanyusernamesleft The arch in its name is related to its design being based on a bridge. Just look at its name in other languages, which also focus on this bridge aspect. Hence, its arCHaludon.

@alistairalexander1369 oh yeah, you're right. It really is just a bridge.

The interpretation: "the arch in its name implies greatness like in archangel as in highest then it should be pronounced arKaludon, given thousands of years of linguistic evolution" Reality: "yea it's a bridge and it's got an arch on it" also if we consider its attacking stance is a bridge, then its idle stance is just a bridge with an arched back

Why two ground moves on Garchomp? (I’m new to ranked)

[@jameswbaekpkmn]

Grassy Terrain from Rillaboom is very common which weakens Earthquake so having another ground move that isn’t weakened and usable when not paired next to Corviknight is great. Otherwise Earthquake is a strong spread move that can play around redirection
