Wolfey: I built this team so that we have a lot of options
Wolfey Every Match: **in terms of options, we have no options**
Wolfey in a 1v4 I think we can win this.
Wolfey in a 4v1 I think we can win this.
That made me die of laughter
“The odds are basically zero that i win, but it’s not impossible”.
Wise words, Wolfey, wise words.
Something with a probability of 0 can still occur! Fun fact about statistics
@@WolfeyVGC if it isnt 0 it might as well be 100!
@@Aphidae except if it's focus blast!
@@Arkaiaaa true!
@@WolfeyVGC So you're telling me dad might come home?
I like how the team building was explained so even a scrub like me can understand. Yesss please post more competitive. I forget how fun these matches can be. Nice haircut!!!!
Thank you!
Wolfey and CybertronVGC I recommend to newer players because they're good at analysis for gameplay. Though Wolfey is a bit more unconventional with his building, it helps you get team ideas when you get a grasp on the meta Imo
@@ChaosKnuxxx I actually like how he is unconventional in his building. It would be so good for him to say "incin good, rillaboom good, regileki good, zacian good" but instead he opens people up to have more fun with weirder teams.
@@WolfeyVGC not a huge fan of azumarill team
I really think a higher base attack or a spec bring would be better or run a fast drummer with a tank follow me
I think intimidate kinda slowed you down n a special attack sweeper as backup could've made a difference to play around intimidate
I think your team was a little slow in terms of setting up
I do see the plays n predictions on point but pre game strategy is key
@@Emul7ifier oh yeah for sure, I like it too! it's just harder for newer people to learn about team building because he's taking meta into mind already. Of you learn the meta first it makes more sense watching at least for me starting out.
Wolfe building a team around set-up and flinch hax is the most Wolfe thing to do. Luck is a skill.
Not to mention Bright Powder Sand Veil Chomp. So disgusting LOL
Twave iron head serene grace lead jirachi was one of the most annoying things back in the day (singles). Gotta remember also in singles lead pokemon was a strategy because teams were hidden at start.
Pokemon is a game about bending RNG in your favor, this team absolutely does that.
Evil as distortion world
I love this kind of team building. I always wanted to run this garchomp but with hone claws + dragon rush. Im a madlad
"Ah I missed Antonio" I love how Wolfe just immediately replaces the name of the pokemon with the nickname.
:3
For real though, I had the video playing while doing other stuff and it made me tab back in. "Who the hell is Antonio? I mean if you miss him so much maybe give him a call?"
@@AssaultFlamingo lmao
“Oh, right. He can’t have Gardevoir, Heatran, and Hitmontop on the field at the same time. That’s my advantage.”
World champ edge.
I honestly wish there was an official VGC format of some sort for BDSP. It's a really interesting dynamic having Pokemon only up to Gen 4, but they have all their modern abilities, moves, and typings.
Would definitely be nice(reminds me of an updated Pokemon Battle Revolution lol, even though the graphics are different)
they don’t have all the modern moves, and they particularly don’t have modern items. heatran’s home generation, and it has no air balloon.
@@Hazel-xl8in thank god!
BDSP VGC is literally just gen 4 woth hidden abilities and one extra fire type. Nothing too interesting which is why they still do tournaments in SwSh. Pretty disappointing because BDSP seems like the only remake where they have no VGC because it’s literally 99% the same game as DP.
I mean, fairy exists@@moomer2675
"If uninterested, skip 10 seconds" is the quality that keeps me watching your stuff man.
“I have bright powder so i win” is the funniest shit
Emerald Kaizo moment
yeah i saw that. i thought evasion moves or items were banned?
Wolfey's been grinding the tower I see :P
No more saying sh*t!
@@AquaAmazake only under smogon rules. this is VGC rules
My Brain: He can probably Just protect or EQ there
He: BRIGHT POWDER BRIGHT POWDER BRIGHT POWDER
I cant't wait to rewatch the flinch game. Some legendary RNG, even if you purposely built your team to give you the best odds of shenanigans, wow that match would have me never playing VGC again. 400k!!! Congrats!!
What??! It's not here! .... oh wait, the match gets it's own wideo??? Ok ok fine. I'll allow it.
antonio?
These long, edited tournament videos like you do are on a whole new level. It's great content mixed with great editing are videos I love to watch!
Thank you!
Shoutout to the editor for the poketch editing, super clever
I agree!
wait.... i thought that was part of the game... was totally amazed that the devs implemented stuff for ingame tournaments
Opponent: *clicks Scizor Bullet Punch + STAB + Technician + Steel Plate + Swords Dance Boosted + Helping Hand*
Wolfe: “Wait no way my Salamence dies here right”
U forgot the Metal coat or Steel plate that boosted it even more.
-GameCube controller
-"I didn't get enough sleep... I'll John"
-Wolfey is a smasher at heart
*1 turn passes and almost nothing happens*
Wolfe: I think I can still win this.
woah these highly edited team intros are CRAZY. i remember your old ones... i also liked those but the highlights and shit in these really make it more visually interesting. im like flashed ive been here since the draft leagues
that said i loved the casual-ass draft league intros. i mainly watched for the wack anecdotes and used the 1 hour intro one as background noise for drawing many times. ill forever remember the ray rizzo handshake anecdote
Thank you! I like doing a mix between more and less edited content, I’m very lucky that my editors are so talented
@@WolfeyVGC i enjoy the variety a lot, im glad your editors are so skilled! i hope you reach one mil next year!
@@WolfeyVGC As are we, Wolfey! Much love
Every time Wolfy says "though bright powder?" I get unreasonably happy
I don’t >:[
@@WolfeyVGC World champ difference, Baybee.
I love the way you enthusiastically referred to the opponent's Pokemon by their nicknames in the Swiss Pools #3 match around 37:15
They got Antonio?!? Lol
The bright powder completely failing until it mattered the most. That was clutch.
I feel like because BDSP will most likely never have updates to competitive rules so they should have had restricted legendaries right off the bat
Played pokemon like a child my entire life until I found Wolfey lol, thanks so much for the amazing content man
Watching you play this competitively reminds me why I should never enter a tournament. There is so much more thought that goes into this than I am willing or able to put into a single battle. This was amazing to watch. Absolutely do more!
The thing that gets me is the "thanks to ___ for helping me get these mons" part. That just reminds me of how much goes into actually getting even a single pokemon with the right IVs, EVs, nature, abilities, movesets...it's crazy.
@@LadyArtemis2012 yeah I'll stick to showdown because of this
@@zachhouston514 Yeah, no kidding. Unless you actually intended to compete in a sanctioned tournament, I can't imagine it being worth the grind.
Finally off work to watch this, I was so excited. This metagame is so different than what it was due to many pokemon getting improved movesets abilities and in some cases stats. But at the same time also similar lol its weird but cool.
As always Wolfey makes watching and learning super fun
always loved pokemon, never even remotely was interested in battling but man, i could watch wolfey battle and listen to his thought processes for days.
Wha… as a Pokemon fan who loves battling more then anything I am shook
@@pokeinator7834 literally tho
*opponent is down to one Pokémon that’s asleep and has 1 HP*
Wolfey: I could still lose this
Gardevoir being a good pokemon in BDSP make me really want to move there but the match making system and TM/EV just isn't as good as SWSH
How so on the EV side? you can just pump them with vitamins like SWSH, agree on the tm front though it's mad annoying for wanting to get into the competitive side of this
2021-2022 is the community vgc code
@@MatthewRStevens If you bought the expansion pass, it's unnaturally easy how much money you can easily earn with a Gigantamax Meowth and the Galarain Star Tournament that it's pretty much that winning the tournament is the equivalent of maxing EVs for 2 Pokemon and you can use it to level up your other Pokemon and see how you like some moves.
The Isle of Armor allows you to buy the vitamins in bulk for half price after all...
So easier money earning methods + cheaper vitamins makes SwSh much easier to EV train....
@@MatthewRStevens Barring the time exploit using "Invite Others" function which will let you train the whole team in 3 minutes, G-Max Meowth generate 99,999 poke per battle along with around 20,000 poke for winning with Amulet Coin.
Also important, getting rid of the unwanted EV. When figuring things out I usually want to try several spreads especially the balance between speed and bulk. Isle of Armor let you get rid of all EV of a pokemon in 5 Ditto raids, which can be done in less than 30 minutes.
Also Feathers. Don't remember seeing any in BDSP but maybe I just miss it. But being able to get 2-4 EV without needing to find a specific pokemon is helpful.
I just used the den reset and bought luxury balls. Much faster than meowth. Max money and max luxury balls. I'm just thankful they kept the fact you can shove vits without a limit in the remakes. I wouldn't be touching the competitive side without it
Oh boy, 2 hours and a half.
Looks like my evening is scheduled
"If they rock slide I win instantly"
The opposing Tyranitar used Rock Slide!
"Oh wait no I lose! I lose, right?"
Togekiss flinched and couldn't move!
"Oh, I super lose. I'm so dead."
The opposing Heatran used Flash Cannon!
Garchomp avoided the attack!
"Oh, wait no, I win. GGs"
I know it’s been around 10 months but this video inspired me to start comp Pokémon and I won my first in town tourney, really do thank you mr world champ :)
i watched this right before my final and got a 98 tbh i think this increased my brain power
Congrats!
@@WolfeyVGC thx wolfe! :D
Wolf talking about the thought process behind his team and the way it functions together is almost exactly how I built my team at the beginning of the format… not sure if this means I watch to many wideos or if I’m getting better at VGC
Haven't watched for a couple of months and damn your production value has improved by leaps and bounds
Thank you! Welcome back
"I want to swords dance again. Because it's funny" -World Champ
Never been that interested in competitive Pokemon before, and now here I am bingewatching this channel. Love you Wolfey! Can't help but cheer for you every match lol
Finally, some battles!
Hopefully the video does well, so we can get more like it.
(I don't dislike tier lists, but personally I prefer when your content is more balanced)
THIS
This should have been called the first (and only) Brilliant Diamond and shining pearl tournament
BloodDiamond and SwinePearl
21:40 had me dying.
bless you Sillody!
you editing is pure bliss 👌
hehe, was going to timestamp the same thing - Sillody on POINT
That thumbnail drew me in way more than it should have. *I know the terrors of AG Azumaril...*
Lovely plays wolfey, keep up the good work, you clearly have HUGE POWER as a player and must INTIMDATE the competition
LOL
I love when you make a video on something you give complete backstory it makes every video such a story and feels like every part of the video is important
The fact that you were able to comeback from a bunch of rain teams with a bunch of ground types was amazing, looking forward to seeing more of this series; but more importantly, when are you going to be going up against Mr. Zhang? Your 1v1’s with him are always super close, it’s like watching two Poké Gods go at it; I’m actually shiny breeding for a competitively viable Gardevoir so seeing her make an appearance on here now gives me a reason to get to it! :D
Wolfey: I have a choice
Also Wolfey: Nevermind I take that back
Peak Wolfey right there.
How does one manage to win with so much Ice weakness? Seems every time I use a Dragonite, Garchomp or Salamence, I get OHKO'd by every surprise ice attack from every unsuspecting pokemon.
Have I ever told you about the world champ difference
LOL well to be fair that's not entirely wrong
@@WolfeyVGC Can I borrow some of that world champ difference for a few days?
@@alphanixer148 I swear, when walking down the road to get my mail, every snail, bird, cat, bug, and random other person walking in the neighborhood is using ice beam at me.
@@xthatwhiteguyx Now I'm getting flashbacks to when people would run Ice Beam T-tar in Gen 4-5 OU.
"I lost to an Air Slash miss, and a Play Rough miss... and I played badly"
lol
"Everyone knows Garchomp is a threat, so let's bring 2 dragon/fairy weaknesses and 4 ice weaknesses, including 2 quad weaknesses. Oh, and let's make every attacker physical, because Intimidate definitely won't be a problem. And lastly, how about we go with only spread moves on Garchomp so that opponents can spam Wide Guard."
I'm amazed you finished top 8 with how flawed this team is. World Champ difference, I guess.
Me: skipping ahead because I see wolfey down 1v3
The end match screen: Wolfey WIN
Me: rewinding
please more of this, I love this format way more than gen 8 lmao
🤔🤔🤔
This is gen 8 bro
@@anthonyvrooman8119 i mean sword and shield, BDSP is way simpler with less Pokemon to choose from. I think it’s more interesting personally. Plus I personally enjoy playing BDSP more than Sword and Shield.
@@WolfeyVGC also hi wolfey :)
Not sure if I've said this, but all the same, congrats on 400k, Wolfey! 💖🥳💖
Thank you!!
Oh my God!
AZUMARILL. Hes always been my core pokemon in any online fighting in Pokemon.
I love him so much!
Wolfey: "So the Core of the team is Azumarrill."
Me: "You have my attention."
I'm a casual, and I like Azumarrill.
Shoutout to the opponent with the Encanto name themed team. Great movie
"even if i play this match perfectly without mistakes i might still lose" everything goes wrong > wins
first couple of minutes where you are going in-depth is nice
Dont usually watch content that is 1h+ but a tourney run like this is just amazing to see!
Glad you enjoyed!
Wolfey: haha flinch hax go brrrrr
Also Wolfey: nooo you can't just hit me through bright powder :(
Amazing video. Props to the commentary and editing skills
"Garchomp, it'd be so cool if you could clutch this out for us buddy"
Sees one minute left in video.
Garchomp will not, in fact, clutch this out.
Thanks so much for keeping in the team preview/selection bits. That's where Wolfey, especially while streaming, starts commentary on the match and his strategy.
37:25 had me actively cheering "BRIGHT POWDER LETS GOOOOO"
I rly like the productions how they got the Pokétch to display scores
"This team is built around Azulmarill sweeping. Idk why I didn't do that game one" YEAH. None of us know Wolfey. 😂
The intro on this was really helpful for understanding your strategy. Great editing on the graphics, too!
Super late comment on a 2 year old video, but, on the off-chance that someone more knowledgeable sees this...
Context: My little bro has autism and wanted to do a nuzlocke of Soul Silver, he mostly wanted the stakes of a nuzlocke without most of the challenge. What we settled on was a dream team run where he got to save edit in exactly 8 of his favorite mons, but those were the only 8 mons he got to use, if one faints, he has one less mon to use. To still give purpose to the one mon he gets to catch per encounter table, he was playing with a rule that allowed him to "sacrifice" mons to "resurrect" a fallen mon; ex. he has a level 30 Gabite, his level 30 Gabite faints, he then puts 2 level 5s, a level 8, and a level 12 Pokemon in the "dead" box, Pokemon whose levels add up to 30, the same level as his Gabite. With a rule like that, fallen mons were easy to resurrect at first, but harder to resurrect later as levels got higher.
Point is: I didn't honestly know any strategies or things that would give him the easiest time, and he had reservations about taking the time to set things up, or use status moves in general. But I eventually won out in convincing him that between sand veil, bright powder, and a setup with double team, substitute, and baton pass, his Garchomp would be unlikely to actually take damage meaningfully, if at all.
Result: He had a blast. Most of his battles played like a minigame of trying to get his Garchomp in position to sweep with no counterplay, pretty sure Lance cried and baby-raged when he didn't even get to hurt the Garchomp. Just don't ask to see his dead box, there were *a lot* of Pokemon _ritually_ sacrificed in the name of Garchomp's supremacy.
The style of editing makes this much easier to follow for someone not super into competitive pokemon. Thank you for making such a complex thing feel so accessible😎
Yea this content is top tier, its very interesting hearing ur thought process and watching your bdsp tournaments are very cool, id love to see more of this in the future
I really like hearing random things like "Ah I forgot about Antonio"
I do be forgetting about antonio tho
ayo did dude make 500k subs in a bit over a year? I'mma be here when he hits 1mil and it's gonna be epic.
This format reminds me of older VGC formats and that's a good thing imo.
I expected to watch this over several days but it's just been too entertaining to stop. I love the energy and explanations that Wolfey gives throughout team previews and battles. Thanks for the really fun content!
I've been watching wolfie for a few months and still can't believe he got me back into pokémon
I love how that one guy named his mons after the encanto characters
Totally loved this. It really shows how much intelligence is needed to play competitive Pokémon properly. I feel like an idiot throughout the whole video but my interest for it just kept me wanting to see more. Great Job Wolf!
This is it. The video that finally makes me subscribe.
I would LOVE to see more of this format.
I'm still learning how to play competitive format, but it's always good to remember that even a world champion can lose sometimes! This makes me feel better about my losses and motivates me to keep on improving.
Salamance is wayyy more squishy than I thought. It died to everything
I missed you battling. Definitely want to see more
I didn’t have much background info on this tournament, but I had a question. In the first match I noticed you knew what items some of the opponent’s mons had (eg pachirisu sitrus). Were some of the players’ sets public or was this an educated guess based on common builds?
Since it's the first tournament in this meta game they are using information from their previous performances.
So yeah its more of an educated guess
There were open team sheets I'm pretty sure
Yea sitrus berry pachirisu is the one sejun used
At about 21:10 he says he has their team sheet, so they knew their opponents' sets before the battle
The team sheets were open
All the attack misses and flinches that benefited you had me dying😂
I find the pre-round thought process the most interesting bit. I never played competitive mostly because I never had a Nintendo console, so I have to emulate the games. The battle tree, which is the most challenging game mode (that is not self imposed), actually made me think about the fights. So I can recall my own mental process of team building and it's so exciting to see how much above Wolfey is. His strategy is on a level of his own.
I love seeing the competitive battling and Wolfe was another level. But that dawn player with tyranitar, heatran, Latios, gastrodon, scizor and hitmontop played extremely well tooo
I do enjoy this kind of content. It's always interesting to see how a pro thinks things through. The longer video style always makes for good background noise where I can work on things during, say the team selection where it's mostly just thought process, and then I can chime back in throughout the battles
Congratulations for the 400k subscribers man 🎉🥳
Greetings from Argentina 😬✨
Thank you!
Wolfey in a T8 set: "I'm gonna Swords Dance here....because it's funny" 😂
Wolfey's Togekiss not flinching on crucial plays is peak Poketuber entertainment.
I've watched the educational playlist but I still don't know the concepts behind building a vgc team. I've been playing pokemon since it first came out when I was a little kid and finally want to try competitive, so I'm looking for any info I can on the concepts behind it.
I can infer a lot from the way you do it, but I really get a lot of benefit from things just being clearly explained.
Wolf understood that wielding a double sword is generally better than any single handed weapon. :3
Opponent gets sand up
Garchomp: Ah, but you merely adopted the sand. I was born in it. Veiled by it.
Whenever Wolfey mentioned bright powder and it never seemed to work unless sand was up 😂
Azumarill is actually one of my fav pokemon and nobody really ever sees its potential outside of competitive
I like azumaril because of competitive
I wondeer if competitive Milotic will see a resurgence in this meta. I figure with the automatic prevalence of Garchomp and Togekiss alongside intimidate mons Milotic would be fairly effective. Though it is always hard to argue against Suicune with tailwind.
This format is feeling so nostalgic and in loving it!
I find it relaxing listening to Wolfey strategizing his mons im not so competitive but listening to him makes me wanna be one its strange
I love these videos from you in a competitive setting where you give insight to your thought process!
Also, "Is Togekiss bold nature or timid? It's Togekiss nature" made me laugh :D
Yooo! Highly enjoyed this absolute GEM of a wideo! Thank you so much for the hours of entertainment, I hope you’re doing splendidly and enjoying BDSP! I quite liked this introduction to the format, much easier for a guy who never played Sw/Sh to follow everything without max-Pokémon
Also, kudos to the amazing editing in this long video!
I had no idea that wide guard can be used repeatedly without failing. That seems kind of op
It's not OP if you have literally any single-target attack.
Yess!!! More VGC PLEASE!! You’re so great at explaining the play by play, keep up the great work Wolfey!!
This was good to watch. I haven't played a main pokemon game since actual DP era, so getting BDSP was real special to me. And now that I actually have friends I can obtain my fav pokemon ever for the very first time, Steelix, and attempt to make my "Gym" steel type team. Very excited to learn more competitive strats and try this out.
