Gonna be honest, I have been training a Snorlax since Gen 3 to be a Ribbon Master and seeing this video makes me excited to use it since I plan on reaching Master Rank and getting the Master Rank Ribbon.

[@JustinObi54]

So how far on the ribbon quest

[@casual3123]

@JustinObi54 Actually, so far, I'm on Gen 4 and I keep getting my butt kicked by super terrible luck in the battle tower. Sheer Cold and Horn Drill spammers everywhere. Luckily that is the only trouble I think I will have. Gens 6-9 seem to be much easier in terms of battle facilities.

[@ryanarnold2868]

Wolfe, I really love the analysis you do at the beginning of your videos, and that you actually explain the EV spreads. For example, by having the 1 HP on Snorlax such that it procs Sitrus berry. Very helpful for the mediocre comp players like myself lol.

[@loopyleo]

I'm just confused why lax has 6 unused evs

I always felt like kommo-o could be really good but was just missing something. I'm so happy to see someone using it.

[@reyrapids63]

As much as I love certain multiplayer games, it is always sad when the meta-games gets so narrow that everyone always uses the same things no matter what, stagnating strategies because if you don't use the meta-counter strategies you instantly lose. Pokemon luckily has enough variety that weird team combos like this can keep people on their toes. It's more fun to face a genuine challenge and have to think on the fly then just "the statistically best team to run." Love this approach, get weird with it.

[@gumbitoicic9977]

Yeah, but sadly pokemon teams do get very samey at times. Rillaboom, Ogrepon, Flutter Mane, Landerous, Incineroar, Urshifu, and probably some others are really popular and most teams probably have 3 of them at least. Before these guys ik Dondozo and Tatsugiri were trendy and dominated every team

[@wolfy_1281]

The reason why I love Wolfey is cuz he is not one of those meta slaves with copy paste teams changing like 1 pokemon. He's always looking for new potential and that's just something not many people do.

[@ashross5860]

Hard to follow trends when you're the one making them

A half hour into the video, and I feel it became less about snorlax, and more about how kommo-o sits on the flutter mane infestation. Honestly, i find the most meta pokemon out there getting rekt a lot more entertaining, but it's nice to see snorlax make his return as a belly drum sweeper.

[@thetky_clan666]

Ogrepon: THE definition of cute & powerful in it's _STAB_ that can be 1/4 types & high crit rate, combine that with Focus Energy/Swords Dance or both & you get one powerful Pokemon that can sweep unsuspecting teams.

[@SoftwareLearningify]

Big root is actually really good for sinestcha, it gets strength sap along with matcha gotcha, which are both boosted by it. At least that’s the set I use for it.

[@parasectsandwich]

I think Sitrus Berry might better in most cases (i.e., as long as it activates) because Big Root requires committing to a move (Matcha/Sap) while being damaged to get the value.

[@Cirdec444]

Mental herb is probably better because if they have taunt you´re fucked with big root/berry. If they don´t you still get recovery anyway.

[@SoftwareLearningify]

@@parasectsandwich fair, but I feel like big root is a much more consistent option and heals more over time

Wolfe in every match: "I'm probably gonna lose" Proceed to win majority of them... Btw, very well constructed team, if I go against it I'll know for sure I'm gonna be so frustrated. Kinda felt off on day 2 where the best teams are but it dominated day 1 tho, except for World's runner up and Empoleon guy (sorry to be frank but he played so well he deserved to win). Aside from those 2, day 1 players got a lot of bad reads and poor decisions

I can see the weakness of this team comp is that you usually only have 2 offensive Pokémon and 2 support so if you lose one of your offensive mons to an unlucky crit you can get massively set back right out the gate.
