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
@@TheHistoryGuy-1 took about 34 minutes i guess
@@jruwilkerson1356 no it isn't its still very funny
his comments lowkey have a meta now.
Using my game dev brain, the design choices on some of these mons feel 'cautious'. Like the things on them read they were over assuming the effectiveness so they pre-nerfed their builds.
Yup and others not at all 😂
Yeah, Sableye's original ability Stall is exactly that.
Yep,Gamefreak loves overcorrecting.Regigigas,anyone?
@@naamadossantossilva4736 Yup him and Slaking took a big L
Yeah, and later on they kinda just seemed to stop trying to balance things. It's an odd choice.
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.
👍 Was going to make this comment before finding this
Same
That’s diabolical lol
Stall, burn/toxic and insta-kills be coming in handy.
He addressed it in the beginning. Not competitively viable = no mention. No one would ever use an attack that removes your own STAB.
Cresselia & Porygon being grouped together as “The Ducks” is amazing😂
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.
Honestly that would make for a good name to alternative evolution line or a third stage
The nickname feature is right there 🤷🏽♂️
best part about redundunsparce is that it's completely redundant!
You mean now you want eviolite on Dundunsparce, lol
Make it a third stage instead of a split, to allow Dudunsparce to hold eviolite and make this seemingly redundundant Pokémon actually have an impact.
5:53 “it is unusually slow” my guy it’s a barley sentient rock how do you expect it to move

For anyone interested, it takes 18 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about Pokémon with no weaknesses
Hahahahahaha funniest thing ive read all day hhahahalol lmao lmfao rofl
Thank you
Ran its course, you're not funny or original, etc etc
Y’all, if you’re just coming here to say “unoriginal joke” just save it. Some people enjoy the joke, it’s basically a signature joke on this channel, just let them have some fun.
@@3ch033v3nah it's lame and deserves to be called lame.
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.
Real
Disagreed, the Thumbnail/Title Clickbait reaches awfully ugly levels...
4:20 not to mention the fact that in the generations where spiritomb had no weakness, dark and ghost were also both resisted by steel
No weaknesses... Does that mean I'm... invincible? - Electross, second before falling to massive neutral damage.
Susanoomon,The Terapagos Of Digimon!Fun Fact:Digimon With Resistances Maxed In World DS Still Take Double Damage From Non-Attribute Attacks,In Dawn/Dusk,Null Was Changed Into Earth Element,Meaning A Resistance Trained Digimon Truly Had NO WEAKNESSES!
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❤
As someone else who only interacts with competitive through these videos, they are a nice window that allow me to understand as much as I need to observe it without needing to understand the meta
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.
He probably just used the elektross chart tbh
Yeah all terrastalized mons are weak to stellar
thanks, i was gonna say this
That means Tera Electric Airballoon Shedinja would be immune to all damage before the Blieberry academy
@@XavierPlummer *It started to hail*
I spent the whole video waiting for hisui zoroark to be mentioned before realising it's weak to dark...
Venusaur appears at 0:19 guys
Thanks man saved me 19 seconds
@@jacobtridef48 that's refreshing
I think you mean wenusaur
Yoooo thank you
You mean the worst Kanto starter?
6:43 Wolfe: I'm pissing on THE MOOOON! How do you like that, Incineroar?!? I PISSED ON THE MOON, YOU IDIOT!!!
Forcefeming your pokemon for competitive advantage was NOT in the list of things id learn in 2024, yet here we are
There was another strategy like that, used for the same reason, also in gen 5, which was Female Haxorus with Rivalry. Rivalry boosts your damage by 25% if the opposing Pokémon is of the opposite gender, and the 3 genies were all male.
@@kats1646 quick correction: rivalry boosts damage if the Pokémon you’re attacking is the SAME gender, not the opposite. So they’d run male Haxorus to deal with the genies. Because of this strategy, it was generally advantageous for all other Pokémon to be female.
@DKdrop OH YEAH, I got it backwards, the way it got *countered* was by making the rest of the team be female, oops, thanks for the correction lol
If I remember right, there was a time where Greninjas were forced to be non shiny males as to make the oppenent questuon if it was protein or battle bond for the 1 turn it mattered, as the movesets were so different that it being shiny or female would reveal the build
@@TheCanonApologist There was no way I wasn't finding out more after reading that! XD There were two builds, and responding to the wrong build was a big mistake. One of the builds was from an event, and it could only be male and non-shiny. So a female or shiny Greninja could only be one build, meaning you lost the surprise factor.
4:05 Redundunsparce has cemented Wolfe as the greatest poketuber
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
@@Sleepysiblingcrazy disagree pull, 3d eelektross is such a downgrade to me it’s not even funny but to each his own🤷🏾♂️
@@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.
Some designs work better in 2D, some work better in 3D
Tbf I'm not sure how to translate eelektross's design in 3d
"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
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 ❤
i was gonna comment something similar! the 'redundunsparce' clip made me laughh

Shoutouts for tera electric Orthworm, who basically has levitate that heals with ground attacks
For Cynthia's Spiritomb, I used to always lead with Lucario because it knew foresight and then I used Close Combat because it was super effective.
Galaxy brain moment lol
Scrappy at home:
Facing Cynthia without being prepared would be a lack of forsight.
@zachsz9320 i don't believe Scrappy existed in gen 4
@@snowvix8902 it might have ? Feel like Whitney's Milkrank and Kangaskan could have it then iirc ?
It took 7 seconds for Ludwig to appear in a video about pokemon with no weaknesses.
shoutout to heatproof bronzong with air balloon having no weaknesses in gen 5 and air balloon drapion having no weaknesses to this day.
You do know that Bronzong would still be weak to Ghost and Dark types right?
@@lagnuzlocke261 Not in Gen 5
Steel used to resist Ghost and Dark for a while, neutralizing all of Psychic’s weaknesses
This is also a big reason why Metagross was so much better than it is now (unless you bring up the mega)
And more relevantly Air Ballon Alolan Muk
@@goGothitaLOL Oh my bad I've only played gen 5 once and that was a while ago so I forgot. My bad.

For me who's wondering, it takes 7:08 for Sableye to appear in a video about Pokemon with no weaknesses.
Incineroar appears at 0:00, you can clearly see him visualising within your mind as you click on the video

14:33 I still like it's 3d animations for S/V. Forgot it needed a thunder stone until it was 52. But when he evolved I was so happy. Such a good wiggly boi
4:04 "Redundunsparce" had me ROLLING. Love your videos man, keep up the good work!
I was about to comment the same thing lmaooooo😂
Also was about to say the same thing!
One small critisism at 4:50 is that eviolite gives a 1.5x modifier to your final stats, not base stats. So effectively, Porygon 2 actually has effectively base 160 defense and 170 sp. def
The editing in this video is top tier so far, the "Eh? EH?" at ghost and dark's synergy made me laugh and replay
Your videos have been looking super professional lately, that changing of porygons stats with the eviolite item when you stacked it up against cress and spiritomb was especially clean.
Please, as an eelektross fan I can’t go through this pain again.
I feel u bro
One can only imagine us eelektross fans as happy
Surprised not to see Air Balloon Alolan Muk in this video. Feel like it's more relevant to competitive than Spiritomb, at least.
Redundunsparce is something I didn't know I needed to hear
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
Btw it took 21 seconds for Universaltoons to comment “only people who didn’t come from TikTok can like this comment…”
He is just simply the best.
Original comment
incineroar appears in every video, no matter what ;)
get a new joke, i know the likes on a random youtube video validate you so much but you can think for yourself!
Careful Incin has no weak
I do not miss a single video. These are so high quality and fun to watch
"redundunsparce" Wolfe "Wolfey" Glick - 2024 at 4:04
Imagine that was the evolutions actual name, I could picture it 😂
I liked that the pixelated Pokémon were the white outlines. Made it actually fun to guess what pokemon was going to be talked about in the future.
Wolfey appears at 0:00
eelektross was absolutely slaughtered in 3d. it may not be good but at least it looked cool
Y'know,in order to tick Wolfey off,I'm gonna enter a worldwide tournament of Smash Ultimate,then play Incineroar,and name myself"VGC my ass"
0:03 no you aren't. that geodude doesn't have any rock moves. it's gen 1
Technically you'll still see you're doing 'not very effective' damage though. But yeah, Brock does not use rock type moves and you can beat him with a Charmander if its level is high enough.
Really enjoy using Terapagos. Mine was invested in pure bulk to set up calm minds then tera to blow everything away. My only issue is that it’s just awkward to fit on a team, it’s not particularly flexible and your opponent is going to know the game plan.
10:26 Wolfey had to speedrun HRT to his mon so they would remain heterosexual.
Wolfey supports trans people. In fact he's the one forcing transness on people. They were right, the libs are forcing the trans agenda on our pokemon😢😢😢
Omori textbox sound 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The editing on this video is so slick my goodness!
Incinaroar appears at 0:20 but gets explicitly called out at 1:37 in a video about Pokemon with no weaknesses
1:32 btw guys this is not a fake image. Bro really did try to see how Mewtwo could fair against LeBron
Thank you for bringing up eelektrosses abysmal 3d design. My boy deserved better
Gen 1 Mewtwo kinda has no weaknesses
It was just weak to Bug, but the type was so bad at the time that it didn't even matter to Mewtwo.
@Tonnex Any pure psychic type had basically no weaknesses because bug was the worst type ever in gen 1 so it didn't even matter. Drowzee, Hypno, Abra Kadabra, Alakazam and Mewtwo had a very op type.
0:08 ah yes

I LOVE Terapagos. We've needed a strong special-attacking Normal-type legendary for a long time now.
... Ursaluna Full Moon?
@@UnPokemon Ursaluna isn't a legendary, but the Bloodmoon form is one-of-a-kind so far so there is that
Id rather have dunsparce have a cool pseudo legendary evolution
@jangaman7823 Dunsparce isn't supposed to be cool. Its name literally means it's a rare kind of stupid.

Incinaroar with no weaknesses is WolfeyVGC's nightmare
these videos are getting to be so well edited... theyre amazing

He’ll yeah
Whole video can be summed up as "Cause you still cant take the damage."
11:53 Pardini mentioned, I'm happy
Thank you so, so much Wolfey and team for giving me something to look forward to every week! I’m going through some really tough times right now, and your content is so fun and interesting it pulls me out of my brain for a little while. I really appreciate all the effort that goes into your videos despite your busy schedule!! Your knowledge and humour are unmatched. You’ve even inspired me to pick up competitive Pokémon after years of being too intimidated (ha) by it.
Also - I just received my world champ diff merch, and I love the embroidered bits on the shirt! I’ll be proud to rep WolfeyVGC out in the wild.
For anyone wondering, it took about 20 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about pokemon without weaknesses
Technically 19
idea for a video if you haven't made it already: talk about every time pokemon gender played a role in competitive play (like the female sableye in this video). I don't know if there are many examples but would be cool
the trade-off for having no weakness is everything else
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
My first thought when I heard "making all their Pokémon female" my immediate thought was "man... good healthcare Pokémon trainers".
dude wolfey's editing & humor is goated

*HE PULLED HIS HAIRY* (in(Deedee)) *OUT AND HE SAID IT WAS “ThIs BiG” AND I SAID THAT’S DISGUSTING*
I feel like i have to share this:
I always thought that having no weakness in pokemon was a pretty huge thing to have, so in VGC 2017 i had this insane idea:
I played muk alola with power of alchemy (which have good stat, 4 resistance and 1 immunity) and a pokemon with just levitate and a self-ko move like memento.
The plan was simple: giving alola muk an immunity to his only weakness, while keeping a good offense against the best mon of the meta (all the tapu's, alola marowak and much more) all of this while having access to poisoning opponents and the power tool knock off, a giant bulk, with also minimize to stall and recover hp with blacksludge. It was just incredibly strong and it worked really well, i never played competitive on a high level but i enjoyed it a lot with my friends and in the online ladder and that was a killer team! I could provide you the list if you are interested, cause i think that would be the best pokemon on this list if we make this count hahahahah
I come for Incineroar appearence/mentions in videos and comments. I stay for Wolfey. Every time.
Also Incinerorar spotted at 00:18
Man the editing in this video was insane! Love the content Wolfey! Keep up the great work sir ❤😊 don't really play competitive Pokemon and never been a fan of VGC but always love your vids and learning new stuff when you explain it since it's so well done
For anyone wondering, tera electric air balloon shedinja appers at 1:09
I’ve been enjoying these video essays for a while now. I’m proudly a subscriber and I look forward to the next one!
It took 20 seconds for incineroar, a pokemon with 4 weaknesses to show up in a video about pokemon with no weaknesses
Would've liked to see a discussion on Mega Sableye, although I doubt that would've changed much
0:53 Looking like a old man in a wheelchair
1:10 No joke. I thought about this before watching your videos, and you bringing it up made me remember that absolute nightmare.
Did Sableye win 1st place in a VGC tournament in Gen 5 before getting the Fairy weakness?
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.
I love eelektross, it's so cool! Edit: oh man yeah that model is not good
2:35 correct me if I'm wrong, but in the generations where Spiritomb had no weaknesses, Steel type had 12 resistances (Dark and Ghost)
Lil wonder guard spiritomb in the battle tower never hurt nobody
dude wolfe when electros came out that thing was my favorite. such a good sprite and it dances in the old games too so good
Incenaroar appears at 0:19🎉🎉
Being flawless is the biggest flaw a character can have
- some guy
Elektross's 3D Model is a war crime. Went from a freaky electric eel monster to a fleshlight
LOVE watching these videos and learn so much from them! It made me realize how much resistances matter than just not having any weaknesses! I have more awareness of that when building now and even use abilities that grant my team more immunities! Love learning from vids like these and hope you keep creating more! 😄
Inceneroar appears a -1:00 in video where Wolfe show it and you switch to this video.
Wolf forgot about burn up.
Using some shenanigans it's possible to put wonder guard on Arcaine, Typhlosion, or Emboar and then use burn up to make them typeless. They are then immune to all direct damage moves.
2:46 OMG IS THAT A HOLLOW KNIGHT SOUND EFFECT-
Love the Video Wolfe! Keep up the great work!
9:21 look away my child it is just propaganda from incinaroar
Loving the more essay esque wideos (as opposed to the lists). Very engaging to me!
