Sturdy Shedinja! Ah this is such a classic, I was not expecting to see it again - it might be almost a decade since I saw it last. I even vaguely remember a version from back before Entrainment existed, using Exeggutor to grab Sturdy, use Worry Seed on Shedinja, then Skill Swap. It was awful, but a laugh. Shedinja has always been one of my favourites in general. even though it was such an exploitable gimmick. EDIT: It has been pointed out to me two years on that the above could not have worked pre-Gen V. I have no memory of writing this comment at this point, so I have no idea if I actually thought it was something that existed, was misattributing a different Gen V set I had seen, or was just speaking nonsense (though I suppose I was doing that no matter the actual cause).
@@joaobrito2653 The whole objective is sturdy on shedninja. Togedemaru has sturdy. Meowstic takes sturdy and puts it on to durant, so durant can entrainment it on to shedninja. You can't skill swap wonderguard. Meowstic doesn't have entrainment, only skill swap. Durant also doesn't have sturdy by default.
You could use nuzzle instead of thunder wave. Sure, you have no priority from prankster, but it won't miss, it can't be affected by taunt and it would break a sash if the opponent had one.
Day 8 of telling Wolfey that we love him and that he is my favourite youtubist and WeeGeeCee player ❤️ Which is your favourite kind of wideo to record: reaction, battle or tier list? Edit: Rest in pieces Wolfey's luck
I’d love to see you do this again in BDSP, since you can do this with Chimecho alone (it learns Skill Swap and Entrainment). My favorite setup was always Chimecho/Magnezone lead with Skill Swap and Volt Switch, into Shedinja with goggles. Shedinja ran endure since it protected from damage but not entrainment, but idk if that’s possible in newer games.
I thought you knew about the Thunder Wave bug. The devs coded it with Thunders 70% accuracy by mistake. Then they multiplicitavely applied the 90% accuracy from the actual move again to make it's accuracy 63%. Then they applied the anti-Wolfe code to bring the accuracy down to 1% when Thunder Wave is used with a gimmick strategy. 🙃
I just want to point out how much of an innate genius Wolfe is. Missing two thunderwaves is literally only a 1% chance. In other words, he’s in the top 1% of trainers. Amazing ⭐️
fun fact I actually tried using this strat on the pokemon showdown Gen 8 Doubles OU ladder using audino with both skill swap and entrainment so I could use a single pokemon for transfering rather than 2
you missed a few things, safety goggles doesn't block ability damage(such as iron barbs or rough skin). moldbreaker also bypasses sturdy. Hail is a bit more common in doubles but the effects are out there. Even less common is if the opponent somehow manages to stall out the game to cause shedinja to recoil damage itself with Struggle. Rocky helmet is another way but pretty rare now
The strat I used to run back in gen 7 was burn up rapidash, skill swap, and shedinja. It's effectively immortal (you can paralyze your own rapidash for max effects).
You can use shedinja to proc "wandering spirit" on runerigus and swap their abilities. Saw someone shadow sneak shedinja to give runerigus wonder guard so it could set up trickroom
Man, I love Sturdy Shedinja. I briefly used a version of this team in ORAS, but used Mega Lopunny and mimic Sudowoodo. I was inspired by you video to improve upon the concept using Sudowoodo, so I made a team quickly in Showdown, which I exported below. The idea is that turn on turn one, have Durant use entrainment on an opponent and have Sudowoodo mimic it. Then have Durant switch into Shedinja and make Sudowoodo entrain Sturdy onto Shedinja. Lastly, switch Raichu in and Nuzzle Shedinja to make it virtually unkillable. Cinderace and Mimikyu are just filler.

This reminds me of a strategy in Hearthstone. There's this card called "Cruel Dinomancer" that summons a random minion you've discarded on death. What you can do is run two of this card, ONLY discard 1 "Cruel Dinomancer" and then play the other one. You then have an immortal minion with good stats. You can take the meme further by playing "Spiritsinger Umbra" who activates all on death effects when that card enters play and then kill one of your dinomancers. This results in having a board of 6 immortal minions.
WeedleTwineedle had a great vid using shedinja and entrainment lopunny + burn up arcanine... you can guess what happens next lol. Love the wideo as always, Wolfey!
i kinda wish Thunder Wave now worked like Toxic, where Electric mons have it always hit, but I guess in exchange you can drop it to 20 % chance not to move instead of 25 % to make it less too strong
Thanks for this comment because I honestly missed that change to Toxic. Didn't play gens 5 or 6 till long after they came out so I'm still finding mechanics different from what I'm used to every now and then.
@@braindial U're welcome! They make so many changes and honestly the descriptions of abilities & moves are very poorly communicated in the Games themselves, so it does get very hard to keep up.
Last season I won a bo1 special during moon series. Where lilliganr covered both spots of meowstic and durant by using roleplay first. Leaving a spot for a non gimmik pokemon like groudon or yveltal. The best part of the tournament was the look on the face of my enemies when seeing a psychium-Z dance on a liligant toged lead, it was priceless. Also having a groudon with chlorophyll was pretty funny too.
I actually catch the new wideo right on time but I have to go to bed now, so I'll watch it in the morning during breakfast. I hope you have a great day!

Thing to remember- be nice to Wolfe if you see him on ladder with funny team so he can make UA-cam wideo better
Especially if you aren't high on the ladder haha
There’s a 0.1% chance of missing thunder wave three times in a row. Honestly impressive
Wow. Just... wow
Tbf, he didn't miss it 3 times in a row, he missed it twice, hit one, than missed again. Still really unlikely.

@João Brito I am sure he had a reason beyond the ken of we mere mortals, and it was definitely not because he forgot :D
@@tiredtortoise3396 only thing i can think of is the fact that meowstick has prankster, so therefore it can have priority entrainment for shedinja
@@joaobrito2653 That makes sense.
Edit: On second thought, would it not have Sturdy instead by that point?
@@joaobrito2653 The whole objective is sturdy on shedninja.
Togedemaru has sturdy. Meowstic takes sturdy and puts it on to durant, so durant can entrainment it on to shedninja.
You can't skill swap wonderguard.
Meowstic doesn't have entrainment, only skill swap.
Durant also doesn't have sturdy by default.
Funny you say that, Entrainment was introduced in the same gen that Sturdy got buffed. So you wouldn't have seen that "before Entrainment existed"
Wolfey: "Okay, this time were gonna be able to get it off"
