    Btw the attack boost on download was planned by Wolfe
    In a previous video he revealed he was specifically building against a Spatack Download boost from Porygon 2

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  Місяць тому +76

      True good point! Many players will ev their defensive Pokemon or even while team to have just slightly higher spdef to trigger attack boosts on P2.

    • @silphv
      @silphv Місяць тому +14

      @@TheDelybird Yeah, this was a pretty common concern back in Sun & Moon when P2 was really dominant for a long time. Wofle is really good at remembering exactly how to deal with returning meta threats.
      In this case he said he built the entire time to trigger Attack Download from P2 because it was so prevalent and presented a real threat when it got the SpAtk boost. Including Incineroar having no Def investment which is another way this Incin was very unusual but the flip side was he could live some pretty strong special attacks.

    39:19 One thing to note is that Pokemon cannot be frozen while in harsh sunlight. But this is such a niche mechanic that it'd be understandable for even high-level players to forget that and go for freezing as an out if they have no other options. And after Politoed came back in, Marco did have that 10% chance again.

    Enjoyed the video. It was a great analysis of the match, and I thought your visuals were good commentary for the mental processes. One tiny correction: in game 3, when Marco is firing off ice beams and you mention it's fishing for a freeze, that was an impossible game state. If harsh sunlight is up, Pokemon cannot be frozen

    First time viewer and I have to say that this was an excellent analysis! That section on "Marco's questions" was also handy, as I am just a new VGC enjoyer, and that section really helped me grasp how complex each turn can be. Also, the editing was what it needed to be, and the flow of the video was on point for something 40 minutes long. Each section felt as long as it should be. I subbed! I am looking forward to future analysis videos, and am hoping the quality remains the same or improves!

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  Місяць тому +2

    This is a fantastic video, great breakdowns and visuals, nice mixing real footage with your animated potential situations and pokemon "diaglogue". My only advice would be that you would occasionally narrate / show clips in the wrong order (i.e. a pokemon switches out, and another attacks, when it actually happened the other way round), which confused me a bit on which pokemon were actually in. Very minor though

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  17 днів тому +1

      Thanks, glad you liked it! I appreciate the feedback. As I went through it I did struggle a bit to say for example both of Marcos moves if he had a switch and an attack then wolfes moves if he say attacked and parting shotted out.
      Going thru Marcos possibilities I would say he switched to x and targetted y slot while Wolfe attacks a and parting shots and switches to b.
      I'll try to keep them in order for the next one but find a balance of explaining both choices. Thanks again!

    39:09 I'm kinda bad at the game so idk if that's a good thing or nah but couldn't Marco do like rage powder + trick room followed by fake out on kingdra + trick room again? The first trick room reverts the order back to normal and makes both of Marco's Pokémon faster than Wolfe's. To avoid kingdra being KO'd Wolfe had to bring in Politoed, so the Fake out + trick room play makes it so that the speed order becomes Poli-P2-Incin-Kingdra. In this spot Marco can try to KO Kingdra and go for a Recover + Triattack end game against a damaged Goth and Poli. What am I missing from this line?

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  Місяць тому +1

      It's a difficult endgame for sure. I see your logic of setting TR then reversing it as tailwind ends. But Wolfe could just protect kingdra on the fake out turn and switch in politoed the next turn for speed advantage on kingdra. And Marco would be eating 2 psychics in the meantime using TR twice.

      He was likely expecting Wolfe to double switch then Earthquake would damage both incoming mons. In that case it would have been a decent trade.

    Do most competitors breed their Pokémon to have perfect or near perfect IV’s? Or do competitors have any Pokémon in competition that don’t have perfect IV’s? What is the standard?

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  9 днів тому +1

      @@MyM0RR0WIND Any serious competitor will have pokemon with perfect IVs in every stat. The only exceptions are not needing any specific Special Attack IV on physcial attackers, slow Pokemon that want to be used in Trick Room will often have a Speed IV of 0, and special attackers wanting a 0 Attack IV to take minimum damage from Foul Play or confusion.
      I have seen a couple cases of a specific speed IV on things like amoonguss or ursaluna to just barely outspeed something in tailwind, but still underspeed things in trick room. But these happen less than 1% of the time.

    Tbh a full ice type team probably deals with his team easily using snow and freeze dry for ease
    Ive actually run into rain teams alot and have little difficulty beating them with the trickest issue being two rain setters but wolfey doesnt use that. Arch has never been a problem for ice type teams that are smart and use crabominable or any special attacker like tera fighting tera blast glaceon with ice body or snow cloak and an assault vest.
    The water types lose to freeze dry and the only scary players are amoongus and the goth but theyre playing support and using an abomasnow with ice beam as well as a dark pulse alolan ninetails makes the challenge alot less annoying
    It also deals with fire easily using stuff like baxcalib and mamoswine with mamoswine having ancient power and earthquake as well as an ice shard requiring incineroar to be gone but otherwise itll handle all the moves well letting charizard ko itself in solar power while eating an ancient power tera ground mamoswine attack (or maybe tera rock would be more ideal)

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  Місяць тому

      Freeze dry would be good into the team, but I think it would still be a battle for weather control. Arch would give ice types problems particularly with its sturdy. If you want an ice type challenge try making Delibird work! haha

      @TheDelybird nah I've fought many with mono ice and he's fairly easy to deal with. The best I've seen after a night of testing is just a quiver dance blizzard frosmoth, tera electric makes it non viable
      The amoongus and goth are more scary but having a freeze dry pokemon do it's thing early makes that a non issue and abomasnow is slower than politoad and gets snow off
      Make ur ninetails ghost and bring it first turn with frosmoth to quiver dance and either chance the aurora veil or go for a blizzard or go safe with freeze dry/dark pulse then swap out ninetails when poli comes out for aboma launching a bug buzz to deal with goth or blizzard to deal with both using chip and having a mamoswine or crabominable handy with earthquake or drain punch
      Covering for trickroom with an ice hammer crabominable

    I know he was at the advantage heavily, but Wolfe got a LOT of RNG to go his way for this win.

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird  Місяць тому +2

      The RNG was in his favor for sure, the sleep powder miss, critical hits, spdef drop, early wakes ect. But considering the team building aspect Wolfe's team is the more consistent option. Just using moves like sleep powder is very high/low roll. I was rooting for Marco because I'm a big fan of sun.
