The tangent at 14:27 about elektross’s 3d sprite is SO REAL. That man had SO MUCH AURA back in the day, it was easily one of my fav gen 5 pokemon back in the day. Now it looks like a floating fleshlight, and I really hate its design when presented like that tbh. Idk, there’s a lot of instances of 3d downgrading certain pokemon, but this truly felt like one of the most egregious.
I absolutely disagree, the movement in the 3d model is what sets it as better for me. It looks like its actually levitating instead of just standing and its movement looks smooth and streamlined
@@Sleepysibling @Sleepysibling I will agree with the fact that the gen 5 design does look like it’s standing maybe a bit too much, but I think what you see as streamlining completely removes the bite from its design. The gen 5 design, at least for me, still very much evoked a slithering design, but the size and pose really sold the fact that it was a predator. It really felt like it earned its 2nd stage evolution status. The 3d sprite feels like they flattened it out too much, back to looking like a first stage evolution. Instead of being completely satisfied with his look, I’m left wanting for waaaayyy more than that. But that’s just me.
Leaving in the takes with "Redudunsparce" and "this took me 6 takes to say" is honestly my favorite part of Wolfey videos, it makes them feel like you're just listening to a friend! I hope your videos always keep that personal touch Wolfey ❤
Surprised 'Burn up' wasn't mentioned once. Having a pure Fire-type like Arcanine use it makes it No-type, which has no weaknesses. It is a fun gimmick in Showdown to give a Burned up Arcanine Wonderguard and watch those new to the strategy struggle against an invulnerable wall.
17:53 Just a small correction I wanted to point out - Tera electric levitating pokemon are listed as being neutral to Stellar, but they are in fact weak to Stellar.
In agreement with some of the other comments: you've reached such a good middle ground with really high quality and good smooth videos, with a funny touch of the old wolfey! These videos are great.
Now I want a Dunsparce evolution where everything about it remains the same. Its base stats, design, sounds everything and it's name will be Redundunsparce.
"ive come to make an announcement" killed me. i wasn't expecting that. i feel like it would've been even funnier (and on brand) with his face over eggman though
4:52 Side note on the Eviolite boost: it's actually slightly better than just multiplying your base Defense/Special Defense stat by 1.5. At Level 50 with no EVs, Porygon2's Defense and Special Defense are equivalent to base 145 and 152 respectively.
17:57 Cresselia is listed as taking neutral damage from the stellar type despite that being the only way to hit Tera electric Cresselia for super effective damage
Wolfey and the team found the winning formula with always putting incineroar in! One way or another he always shows up, and the amount of engagement it drives is insane. Not that the channel wasnt already doing well but feel like that has boosted forsure.
Every time I hear an Eelektross mention I cheer and point at the screen. Fun fact, even though Eelektross has no weaknesses, during Multi Battles in the Battle Subway, Ingo's Haxorus has Earthquake and Mold Breaker. Because of that, he often uses the move on Emmet's Eelektross. Cain instinct.
I also wanna shoutout that Tera Shell also includes every hit of a multi hit attack while Multiscale only weakens the first hit but not every other one following
I have never played a Pokémon game, and yet I always look forward to these videos Wolfy always does such a good job with explanations and context that even with my lack of knowledge I still never feel lost
Hey Wolfe! I know you said you read all your comments, and I am the kinda person that never comments on videos but for whatever reason today I felt so inclined. I just want to say THANK YOU for all the work you and your team put in for these videos. I truly look forward to your videos of every caliber. I’ve been playing this game basically since I could form memories and it’s so satisfying to see what you have done for this community. I am not into playing competitive Pokemon myself (I dabble with showdown), but I always find myself glued to every video. I love how you brought so much attention to this community and allowed for Pokemon to flourish in media. Keep up the good work World Champ. I love to see the difference you’re making❤
My first guess (before watching the video) would be that no weaknesses also means NO resistances EDIT: so there is more to it than just that it seems..
Open team sheets also have a massive impact on making weaknesses more manageable, tbh. And while I agree on Ghost/Dark not being the best type combination, I do like using it for pivoting, 3 immunities is great, especially in challenge runs imo.
@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 I did really well on the Showdown ladder back in gen 5 singles circa 2013 using Sableye as a disruptor amd anti-lead. Bold w/ Taunt, Recover, WoW, and Foul Play. Then it lost it's ability to burn Tyranitar and it couldn't keep up with Megas, Ultra Beasts, or Tapus. But before that it carried me to the 1900s.
In all fairness, the conclusion seems to be the main drawback of having no weakness is not having resists either which are very important, so Terapagos doesn't really apply here precisely bc its ability doesnt make it have no weaknesses but gives it all resistances instead
@ Missing No is weak to fighting though. Its a normal bird type in red and blue and a normal and 999 type in yellow. Also Missing No has trash stats. Worst defense and special stats in the entire Kanto dex on top of having relativly bad speed and HP stats. The only saving thing it has is that is has the best physical attack stat in the entire game (in red and blue, it has different stats in yellow)
A pokemon with few resistances will die to anything you bring. Unlike pokemon with lots of resistances and a couple of weaknesses for which you pretty much need to have a plan.
Short answer before watching the video: because back then they used to make Pokemon with obviously good points/strengths balanced by giving them equally obviously bad points elsewhere to compensate and not stand out much from the rest, which GameFreak is clearly lacking in these last few gens given the absurd brokeness of Urshifus and Calyrexes.
For any who wondered, it took about 0 seconds for people to start commenting about how many seconds it took incineroar to appear.
what about people wondering when people told us wondering when incineroar was mentioned by the person
This is getting old

Redundunsparce is something I didn't know I needed to hear
10:26 Wolfey had to speedrun HRT to his mon so they would remain heterosexual.
The editing in this video is top tier so far, the "Eh? EH?" at ghost and dark's synergy made me laugh and replay

No weaknesses... Does that mean I'm... invincible? - Electross, second before falling to massive neutral damage.

Incinaroar with no weaknesses is WolfeyVGC's nightmare
So incineroar’s weaknesses makes it strong.
Wolfey and the team found the winning formula with always putting incineroar in! One way or another he always shows up, and the amount of engagement it drives is insane.
Not that the channel wasnt already doing well but feel like that has boosted forsure.
the trade-off for having no weakness is everything else

im actually glad you did this and focused on spiritomb so much as i was under a veil that it was the best thing around
its not
eelektross was absolutely slaughtered in 3d. it may not be good but at least it looked cool
Dark ghost pokemon also couldn't hit steel types neutrally with stab moves before gen 6 making them even worse offensively.
I have never played a Pokémon game, and yet I always look forward to these videos
Wolfy always does such a good job with explanations and context that even with my lack of knowledge I still never feel lost
Forcefeming your pokemon for competitive advantage was NOT in the list of things id learn in 2024, yet here we are

Buff Spiritomb by giving it 108 base HP
Please, as an eelektross fan I can’t go through this pain again.
Damn this is the fastest I’ve found a wolfey video
For anyone wondering, it took about 20 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about pokemon without weaknesses
Technically 19
Surprised not to see Air Balloon Alolan Muk in this video. Feel like it's more relevant to competitive than Spiritomb, at least.
So the “Spiritomb Theorem” can be partly boiled down to “having resistances matter more than not having weaknesses”
Did Sableye win 1st place in a VGC tournament in Gen 5 before getting the Fairy weakness?
11:53 Pardini mentioned, I'm happy
Bro I be lookin forward to Wolfey's videos more than anything else 😭
Thank you for bringing joy to my life Wolfe, clearly I need it lmao
Lil wonder guard spiritomb in the battle tower never hurt nobody
I think there is a deep philosophical meaning behind this video
This make's me curious about the best competitive Pokémon that have the MOST weaknesses...
Mega sableye, willowisp, snarl, calm mind and recover was THE tank i loved in the past
6:43 Wolfe: I'm pissing on THE MOOOON! How do you like that, Incineroar?!? I PISSED ON THE MOON, YOU IDIOT!!!
Why is incineroar in this video? (Incineroar must not have any weaknesses)
incineroar has the greatest trait any pokemon could have: immunity to nerfs
Redundunsparce😂😂
Open team sheets also have a massive impact on making weaknesses more manageable, tbh. And while I agree on Ghost/Dark not being the best type combination, I do like using it for pivoting, 3 immunities is great, especially in challenge runs imo.
Tera electric Shedinja with Air Balloon: Hahaha I have no weakness!
Tyranitar: *enters battle*
Sableye got done so dirty in the 3DS era. The burn damage and Prankster nerfs massacred my boy 😢
It's not like he was great before that.
@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 I did really well on the Showdown ladder back in gen 5 singles circa 2013 using Sableye as a disruptor amd anti-lead. Bold w/ Taunt, Recover, WoW, and Foul Play.

Incineroar being a menace in every video , will we get a full breakdown why the red-cat is such a villain?
Idk man, Levitate Alolan Muk is pretty good & has no weaknesses…
In all fairness, the conclusion seems to be the main drawback of having no weakness is not having resists either which are very important, so Terapagos doesn't really apply here precisely bc its ability doesnt make it have no weaknesses but gives it all resistances instead
Redudunsparce would be a hilarious final evo for dunsparce. I need that in a future generation so badly.
Redunsparce broke me
Sableye's weakness is transing your pokémon from Male to Female or Non-Binary ICANT 💀💀💀💀
Slander against my beloved sableye will not be tolerated. Who is this guy anyway, i only listen to people who've won 2 world championships
One issue having no weaknesses are the difficulty in predicting the opponent moves.
1:46 SPIRITOMB IS WEAK TO FAIRY GOTTEM
Edit: He got me instead

Wolfey what are you talking about- Missing No is a strong Pokemon with no weaknesses
@ Missing No is weak to fighting though.

Sableye and Spiritoomb feel like a pre evolution.
I hope they get a Dundunsparce of their own in the next generation.
Not gonna lie was definitely expecting burn up to be brought up for no weaknesses
They should give Spiritomb a new ability that sets up trick room when entering the battle
Quoting Eggman the day before the death battle is something very strange
