Dragon these nuts
i hold the foremost commentary reply
I love your videos @WolfeyVGC! Keep it up!
womp womp, i dont care
Hijacking pinned comment to bring up that you said Gullet Punch at 17:36
The Groudon and Kyogre Wars are one of the only times legendary lore was accurately reflected in gameplay
I agree, but as the joke says, 4x weakness to water.
@@rodrigovisk3120 haha funny ability but ye
@@rodrigovisk3120 Who laughs last, laughs the best.
Now that I think about, setting a weather to have complete immunity to your 4x weakness is kinda crazy
Yeah they're one of the best legendary duos.
Kyogre and groudon sharing the no1 spot feels good, they feel like the most "duo" out of all legendary pokemon duos
It does make a lot of sense but idk, I personally just ~feel~ like Kyogre is "better" (context being a "best pokemon" video) and, since Wolfey listed it last and mentioned it's one of his personal favourites as well, I'm considering it the winner - for whatever that's worth. Surely it's one of Wolfey's favourites over Groudon for a reason right?
If you like them tied or think Groudon's better, that's cool but I'm going to type out my thoughts below just for my own sake. "Best" is pretty subjective to opinion and I didn't even play with the Primals so don't have proper context for Groudon's peak anyways.
That said, Kyogre doesn't need to mega to boost it's own stabs and fix it's own Thunder accuracy. Water Spout's accuracy is also really reliable whereas Groudon is relying on P Blades more often. The thing that does it for me though is that in gen 8, there were a whole bunch of sun teams powered by Groudon but players still decided to replace it with Torkoal to fit Kyogre on the team (see Players Cup 3 winner). I get that was a metagame thing but it wasn't a one time use and it really impresses me that Kyogre was self-sufficient to the point of slotting in nicely with sun cores and seeing success. I'm probably underrating how effectively Groudon props up it's teammates while being so powerful on it's own but it just ~feels~ like it's less consistent of a threat itself without abusing the generational mechanic - the Primal fire typing and water immunity being massive or Dynamax fixing it's accuracy and bulk all at once. (Edit: I also feel like if it weren't for Storm Drain, this would be much less close.)
TL;DR: Torkoal can be strong enough to be a decent replacement for Groudon, Groudon was only strongest while abusing gen gimmicks and Kyogre sets itself up more easily and doesn't rely on inaccurate moves as often.
@@2LettersSho Yeah, I noticed its more detrimental to whip out a drizzle pokemon other than kyogre, but when its replacing groudon with torkoal, I see the value that torkoal can brings without taking up your retricted slot. Id also agree the kyogre definitely has a good balance of offense and defense and can be more verdatile than og groudon. They only become most equal when they are in primal form, and at that point, they are both at the top of the meta games that they exist in
Groudon and Kyogre: Pokémon's greatest rivalry in lore, VGC and Singles.
Imagine if they we canocially lover and they have a some sort of special move that only works when they are together on the team.
@@Prash_0 Or a common enemy
The fact that those two went top tier unbalanced until fucking gen 9 is absurd
@@thelastshadowpigzThis is a combination that Groudon and Kyogre can do against Rayquaza. Groudon uses Stone Edge and Kyogre uses Ice Beam. If they did that they would not have to worry about Rayquaza again.
Best pair of legendaries ever.
Wolfey: “I’m gonna keep this one a bit brief.”
The Run Time: Are you sure about that?
Was hoping someone else noticed that lol
I mean, 25% shorter than the Johto video for a bigger and more interesting gen is a decent effort :)
He might’ve meant that he sent the editor less raw footage to edit.
You gotta make one after gen 9 called: What Is The Best Pokémon? Where you compare every number one pick until there's only Incineroar left.
If we get Primals back, Primal Groudon already beat Incineroar during the "What is the best Fire Type Pokemon" video
@@Aquilenne
It literally didn't, Wolfe said Incineroar was better than Primal Groudon.
@@Aquilenneprimal groudon is quite literally worse than incineroar
@@Aquilennenever let bro cook again 💀
He'll probably say incineroar
In a video about gen 3, it took about 0 seconds for someone to comment Hoennian Inceneroar
That thumbnail artist needs a raise
Who? The AI Guy? 🙃
@@godoftwinkies574 lil bro it’s not ai😭
@@Dylan-ov6edbro just learned AI art exists, cut him some slack
There's multiple artists, he mentioned the thumbnails will change randomly to show everyone's art off
The backgrounds of each Pokémon were great
"Don't make me release Mega Incenaroar" is a *threat* LMAO
Hoennian Incineroar
You won the race 😔
Les go
Gg
Damnit he beat me to it
Hoennian Bidoof Better
It's wild that Blaziken and Mega Blaziken aren't on this list because it absolutely rocked the single battle world. Doubles are so different.
Blaziken gren and cinderace did so well in singles that they never gained spotlight in vgc(weren't that good tbf),same goes for swampert tbh
Meanwhile Rillaboom And the kanto trio gained spotlight in both metas
@@AnweshanPandit primarina too
It's really good in the sun
@ZyjhenCredo Yep I left it for someone to comment
Primarina is exceptionally good in vgc and 6v6ss (btw it's one of the top-dogs in smogon 1v1 meta)
Pelipper and torkoal getting weather setting abilities took them from bad pokemon to one of the best setters of their respective weathers in singles and doubles
I understand why Peli is better than Poli but why is Torkoal better than K-Ninetales?
@@TaLeng2023torkoal is excellent in trick room teams because its so slow and does great damage with eruption, thats pretty much it.
@@Wuerschtle ah, so it's basically just coz of Eruption. Ninetales really saw no play?
@@TaLeng2023torkoal also has huge defence. yawn, body press, burning jealousy as well as it's ridiculousyl low speed which is a huge advantage with eruption. Ninetails just.. Doesnt do anything in comparison
The weather quadro, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Groudon, Regional Incineror
I came here to make an Incineror joke 😂
He summons his own weather,incinether,which makes everything gain -6 attack and breaks their knees and throats
I can’t believe you forgot the mightiest mon that abuses weather, castform
@@iloveiceberglettucehow do you gain -6?? Lmao
@@boogityhoo7452 yes,it adds +6 and -12
Side note, there’s something so uncanny about seeing gameplay of 3ds games without the grain of the 3ds screen
I think peli would do great at its high school reunion. When it left gen 3 high it didn’t have drizzle, tailwind, or hurricane. Done pretty well for itself since then, i’d say.
He said tho if it just showed up with its base stats
How did you not hear the middle of the sentence? He specifically said if "all it brought with it were its stats".
@@maromania7 And this person didn’t mention that, so they’re talking two different hypotheticals bro. Come off your high little pony
@@umai5332 ponyta*
I think it's kinda poetic how the region of "doubles" or "pairs" (double battles, two bikes, plusle and minun, two villain teams, you get it) gets two Pokemon tied for first place
Editor: "Please make the video shorter"
Wolfe: *Makes its 1 minute less than the best bug type video*
Hey it's also 2 minutes shorter than the gen one video
The 2 top are in a funny situation, because they get similar results with very different ideas.
Groudon is "the moveset". It can go both sides of the spectrum, it can go in a more support role with rocks and Twave, it can use variable moves (quake o blades, you can cheese solar beam, maybe use heatcrash or heavy slam), while kyogre is spout, ice beam, thunder + other move, since that coverage is already perfect
I need to give some praise to the "jury of his peers" bit with a jury composed *entirely of Incineroars* lmfao
🤝
Also from Shield dex: Incineroar’s rough and aggressive behavior is its most notable trait, but the way it helps out small Pokémon shows that it has a kind side as well.
Incineroar might actually make a good judge & jury
Lmao yeah I tried to contain my laughter but I couldn’t, that popped me ngl 🤣
The Miror B music for Ludicolo is such a chefs kiss. Editor is a man of culture
Wolfe Glick looking so devious in the police car then the jury of Incineroar’s made my day 10x better
The funniest part is that that is a NYC traffic cop car. NYC traffic officers do not arrest anyone they only give parking tickets 😂
JAJAJAJAJAJA
Props to the editor for making a reference of "i am altering the deal, pray i don't alter it any further." From Robot Chicken Star Wars special
11:16, did anyone else notice Smeargle holding a trumpet 😭
At 7:10 Latias also had a trumpet!
Also 8:29 Wartortle had one!
8:48 Wartortle with trumpet, 17:10 Wobbuffet with trumpet
@@Lolipopys_Official oh yea I saw that but thought that was just wartortle with trumpet in the anime
Also 24:46 in Chespin's backpack. The trumpets just never stop coming
Yeah. If Kyogre and Groudon aren't on the top teams, it's almost always because the top team was made to counter them. There was no question. Yeah, this current generation they're a little less dominant due to its gimmick and general conditions not being great, but there's no doubt. Kyogre in its worst form is still better than most pokemon's peak.
Mirror B music for Ludicolo makes me so happy
The editor really went IN with this video. That news cutscene was gold
Let's go. The legendary Pokemon are actually so well designed. They might be the coolest legendary trio ever
Gen 3-5 is peak “box legendary” designs
@@xdifficultviper9916 I'm still salty gen 5 didn't introduce the OG dragon (tao trio original form)
I'm gonna die on the hill that the Creation Trio is the coolest ever (especially Giratina), but yeah, weather trio's definitely up there.
There's something very fitting about the majority of the Hoenn top 10 being weather related Pokemon
Incineroar Mentions
9:16 First Incineroar mention
14:10 Second Incineroar mention
21:10 Third Incineroar mention

truly it's the best hoenn pokemon
@@JackLeighton-uh6sl But was not mentioned, only shown. Can make an edit to include all instances of Incineroar being shown in a bit tho
Awesome work friend 🔥🔥🔥
Is Incineroar the devil?
I can’t wait for the alola vid where it’s 2 seconds long and Wolfe just says incineroar
1:21
In a video about the best gen 3pokemon, incineror appears in 81 seconds
The Goated Incineroar is the Goated mascot for this Goated channel
thank you for your service incineroar timer person🥰
@@loool72 :>
No mention of Mega Mawile kinda hurt me
gen 6
@@josiahlute7808 Every mega was introduced in gen 6 (like mega salamence, mega metagross, and mega rayquaza). But since base Mawile was introduced in gen 3, it still would've been in this vid
@@josiahlute780813:58 😮 13:59 14:00 😮 14:19 14:28 14:30 14:41
Was it as dominant in doubles?
Yes, it was like one of the best 5 Meats when they first came out!
I love ya Wolfey, thanks for reigniting my competitive Pokemon spirit 5 years ago! Managed to get to number 1 a couple of times because of u :)
The kyogre and Groudon situation is similar to koraidon and miradons situation (in terms of what their abilities do for them), 1 has an ability that combos with its stab and signature move while the other just doesn't.
Incineroar at 26:29: I diagnose you with dead
I imagine the hate relationship being one sided and Incineroar would just laugh at him.
I totally forgot about delta stream overwriting primodial sea and desolate land, that's some AWESOME theming! Kinda like zygarde getting rid of xerneas' and yveltal's abilities!
Not having mawile in here is crazy
Probably the only mega that could match kangaskhan back then.
Your thinking gen 6
@@CouchCat101 considering Kangaskhan was in the gen 1 video?
Poor Mawile. ): Had a brief time in the spotlight with mega evolution only to have it taken away.
It was only good because it had Mega Evolution. Without it, it's actual garbage so it just doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10.
@@Vermillionxsame with Kangaskhan, it only got in because the bar was lower by Gen 1 standards
For those keeping track, it took exactly 556 seconds for Wolfey to introduce Incineroar in a video about the best Gen 3 Pokemon
1:20 first incineroar sighting in the video
Incineroar 4ever!!!
The incineroar comment somehow showed up before it could appear in the video 😂
For a second I was scared people stopped making those comments XD
Nah they’ll never stop, it’s almost like a race as soon as a video goes live because it’s a very reliable way to get the top comment
@@harleyevans6563 tbf not always cause usually only one gets "selected by the people", but yeah a good chance for sure
Kinda surprised by the lack of mega mawile in honorable mentions, but this video is great nonetheless
It’s Spheal, I mean what was Game Freak thinking about when giving it such an OP ability?!
Spheal
What's it's ability I've never used it
@@nebulagod Spheal Stare, when used against a player character, they will always flinch and instruct their pokemon to claim defeat
@@nebulagod Fr though, thick fat and ice body. Thick fat halves damage from fire & ice moves, ice body heals 1/16 per turn in hail/snow (also makes em immune to hail if they're not already).
@@onebear6504just play a doubles game and use a pokemon with skill swap and give it thick fat then you can use spheal
The editing on your videos is absolutely phenomenal.
that wolfey in the police car photo looks so real its insane pasued to look at it and everything
1:29 i LOVE the game grumps reference LMAO
5:20 There isn't a best dragon type video yet though
Yeah I seriously thought I missed something lol.
spoiler moment, guess the next video is gonna be a dragon type list
@@controlconTera dragon incencaroar
Maybe cause this is a week old but I just watched the best dragon type video
Props to whoever's gathers the anime clips. They are so well timed and must be hard to find with all the pokemon stuff to shift through
Wolfey upload to start off my Saturday right!
Brilliant list, especially the top 2 😊 Also, I totally agree about Mega Salamence being a bit forgotten about or underrated compared to other Mega Pokémon - Aerialate Double Edge was SO GOOD in Gen VI that they had to nerf it in Gen VII (and it was still good haha)
i only play pokemon go but i got to say man you made me intrested in competitve pokemon lately
Gen 3 is also my favourite gen, very nostalgic for me, and it was some of the biggest generational shift mechanics we’ve seen in terms of content. Every Pokémon from Gen 1-3 got abilities, and of course the effect abilities have on the game today is crazy how far it’s come as a concept.
Incineroar in a raquaza suit
That's certainly an art I wanna see lol
Wolfey is actually such a good youtuber, honestly one of my new favorites. He's just so good at explaining stuff, and to a nerd like me that makes my brain feel happy. (But like actually all of his content is so good and professional.)
26:00 I laugh so hard on this part because I was also with my cat on my lap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The editor is top teir! So many good details that only pop up for a second. And so many funny moments! Great job. 👏
Wolfey's edits are wild. Really excellent job with them
Pelipper would be that one guy super gassed up by the popular kid (kyogre) and when he shows up everyone is dissapointed seeing it's just some dude called John.
13:33 missed opportunity to sneak Incin in that Tierlist
I know this probably won’t be seen by wolfy but I just want to say thank you thanks to you I know that I want to do what you do being a competitive Pokémon player even if I’m still learning the basic of competitive I just know your videos inspire so thank you wether I make little or lots of success you will be the reason ❤
Mega ray potentially coming back in ZA and now being able to hold a clear amulet to get rid of the intimidate counters sounds broken
yes but no sash is bad
@@GravityIsFalling Why run sash? You don't have a 4x ice weakness so what is one shotting you realistically?
@@ryanhacker5259 given that it ran sash most often in 2016 and 2019 I would think it will still run sash

How do i like a video more than once?? This team has figured out ...at least the content that i am looking for and does a fantastic job producing it. I have been a life long Pokemon fan, but Wolfe, you sir have renewed my love for the franchise through your content
For anyone wondering, it took incineroar 1:21 to be mentioned in a video about gen 3 pokemon
Wolfey I work hard for a living. Love coming home seeing you work even harder on these videos. Keep it up.
the other 3 that deserved a honorable mention IMO would be mega swampert in rain teams, mega Mawile ( one of the best megas for years ) and aaaayyybe mega blazikeneven if this last one was really niche
I love how even in a fantasy Pokémon high school reunion, Wolfey is resolute that there will be a basic level of respect. Class act!
Love your style, keep rocking it!

So many strong competitive Pokemon were introduced in Gen 3, but I knew who the top 2 would be.

I quit playing the games right when Sun and Moon came out and I've been watching all these videos you've got and feeling so sad that I quit when I did.

I like that breaking news edit.
I am actually so happy you had G&K tied. It just feels… right
really surprised mega mawile wasn’t on this list
probably because mawile is terrible
@@GravityIsFalling mega mawile is good

Wasn't mega mawile banned to ubers at some point?
@@ZyjhenCredo problem is there are more doubles viable mons in gen 3 than gen 1. Plus mega kanghaskan warped the metagame around it which can't be said for mega mawile
@@kristophesiem5336 this is doubles only list bro.
Sharpedo is the best Gen 3 pokemon because he is my all time favorite and I love him so much.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk
“Skarmory is one of the best Gen 3 Pokémon. What do you mean Skarmory isn’t from Gen 3? Of course it is” -friend
Same, but with Tyranitar.
After Wolfey finishes making a "best of" for each region, it'd be cool to see a ranking of all the regions. Realistically, the more recent ones will probably win because of power creep, but I feel like his justifications would make it interesting anyways
Surprised about no mawile mention😢
yeah like what 💀
I love torkoal so much!! He's my secondary sun setter on my sun team rn if koraidon is too threatened to lead, and he also checks some trick room stuff so i rlly like using him even tho he hasn't had that good results the last few weeks.
Changed thumbnail ???
The editor deserves all the time they require, damn good job
NEW WOLFEY CONTENT LETS GOOOO
Bro changed thumbnail like 4 times and all of them was fire
Why does the thumbnail keep changing 😭
I’m surprised that Mawile didn’t get an honorable mention! Just because its mega was seemingly popular in X&Y. But maybe I overestimated its influence. Amazing video!❤
Best Gen 3 Pokémon is Hoennian Incineroar
11:31
This is actually an incredibly niche but absolutely HEAT strategy in singles where you use Shell Smash as Torkoal, dropping your defenses but doubling your speed and offenses, immediately get ejected, and then send out a fast user of Copycat. Torkoal was underspeeding everything anyways, so you get in your new Pokemon for free and then get a shell smash off on something dangerous like Lucario or Zoroark.
Nice suit!
Ludicolo my boy!!! Such a goofy pokemon I love it
too much water on the list smh
Man I swear there is someone refreshing on Wolfey's page 24/7 for Wolfey to upload a video so they can comment Incineroar as soon as the video got uploaded
QUIT CHANGING THE FUCKING THUMBNAIL DUDE
Came here to say this, lmao
just because I know it'll return at some point, 35:00 Primal Reversion, meaning reverting to its primal form.
fantastic video as always
Where’s mega Mawile???
hope you see this, but if you could let the abilities stay on screen for a bit longer or read out what they do so i dont have to pause and rewind everytime you put one on screen. I dont play much pokemon, so dont know what they do just by the name.anyway love your content ^^

Ludicolo is my favourite pokemon. I wish it had Dancer as Hidden Ability it would open up a lot of interesting options as well as staying thematic.
Thanks for all of the content Wolfey, your energy is amazing.
The miror b music during the Ludicolo section was perfect
Love these series Wolfe! I think Kyogre has the edge over Groudon. I suggest you put a slide at the end of the video, a summary of the ranking
I've always been impressed how well paired Kyogre and Groudon are, like the cover legendries are usually designed to be relative opposites of one another, but I feel they rarely are anywhere nearly as closely matched as Kyogre and Groudon are.
Kyogre! The editor's note of that terrifying pic had me dying 😂
