Since people seem confused by it, every video going forward will have multiple thumbnails. Thumbnails have a huge impact on how a video performs, so having multiple options to choose and learn from is better practice. A thumbnail changing does not mean it’s bad, it just means we’re testing another option. Also it’s a way of supporting some of the talented artists within the community - if you like any of the work you see, the artists will be linked in the description of each video.
Standard RUclipsr practice. So there must be a reason. Unless you’re Charlie. Who literally ships the pre-generated thumbnail. 😂 his videos are talking though not this high effort. So can’t afford bad metrics when you upload less frequently
There are two types of OG's. OG's who look back and smile thinking about Snorlax's absolute domination of GSC Singles, and those who still have nightmares from facing it.
It unfortunate how far lax fell. Its at least still okay in the doubles format but in singles thanks too gen 9's insane powercreep in actively recomended to not use it. Image telling someone who hasnt played pokemon since gen 2 that Azumaril is significantly better than snorlax 😢

The Honorable mentions part is probably my favorite part of this video. Probably the most unique honorable mentions out there cause the Normal typing is such a wildcard for experimentation for the Pokemon Company.
Imo most consistently relevant in competitive probably even if not busted like Mega Kan or funnily BS like Smeargle lol Ursaluna & Farigiraffe is still recent but is rising to become its contender though ig

I love what Gamefreak did with some of the normal Type Pokemon like Ditto, Eevee or Smeargle. They made "normal" Pokemon have some of the most unique/non-standard strategies
But it makes sense, being versatile to an extreme isn't "normal" but what else would it be? Not an elemental category. Maybe stellar, but that didn't exist.
Yeah the normal type is really more like the miscellaneous type, if it doesn't fit any of the other types thematically it gets sent to the normal type.
It made me roll my eyes into my skull a few vids ago when he said he doesn't do engagement bait. When I learned what that word meant my immediate reaction was "Oh, like Wolf Glick!"
I'm not exactly sure what the deep WolfeyVGC channel lore is, but the mispronunciation of names comes off less like engagement bait and more like those people who live in an American English speaking region who insist they "naturally" say things like "aluminium" the British English way
@@sampletext7127 I don't know about everyone, but some of these weird ways to say words just dead ass happen. Like I get heat sometimes because I say "Scenario" a way that's apparently British, but people started calling this out when I was as young as 6th grade (I'm 27). That specific word my whole family says it that way. I have no idea why. We all grew up in Utah, my Mom grew up in Nebraska/California, my grandparents immigrated here from Germany when they were kids and mostly grew up in Nebraska. Sometimes shit just happens lol. Shout out to us saying "Wash" like "Worsh" and "Melee" as "Meelee" as well!
@@HeckYep Mostly those are more like community in-jokes, like calling them wideos. It's an obvious joke that no one needs to argue about. When it comes to pokemon names though, there are a lot of pokemon that have no consensus on pronunciation (and even official media conflicting with itself on it) and so even if you try to pronounce everything right you'll have people running to the comments to complain. The solution is to just obviously say things wrong constantly and make it a joke.
39:07 Wolfey, Ursaluna DOES get Belly Drum as an egg move. In order to get it, have a Belly Drum user (like Snorlax or Zangoose) Mirror Herb the move (in ScarVio) or have it breed with Ursa (in other gens). It applies to both normal and bloodmoon.
Regigigas is absolutely one of the most, if not *the* most, satisfying Pokemon to Dynamax, animation and design wise. It puts the "giga" back in Regigigas. And when combined with Weezing's Neutralizing Gas, you can finally let it tow continents, haul ass, and haul opponent's asses. Just as Arceus intended.
Speaking of Eevee I do believe there was this one tournament that someone won by timer stalling while using Celebrate (normal, not Z-Celebrate) because it had a really long animation
don’t know if you’ve heard, but the player in question admitted he was lying about using Celebrate Vaporeon. As for the player in question… world champ difference bay beeeeee
It’s always wild to see how different things are in VGC than smogon singles. I play singles and things like “we’ve never seen baton pass strategies outside of this” or trick room/tailwind being such a normal strategy always feels weird. Or like the relevance of intimidate.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that mega khangaskan’s seismic toss just dealt 100-200 damage to everything because seismic toss ignores the 75% damage falloff from parental bond. That thing was a menace in every way.
Seismic Toss has never been legal on Mega Kangaskhan in VGC since it was only obtainable via a gen 3 tutor or gen 1 TM (from the Virtual Console releases) and in gen 6 and 7, only Pokémon natively obtained in the current gen were allowed.
the parental bond should be banned entirely because it's literally a second pokemon attacking with you dealing more of a damage percentage. imagine if chansey hatched her egg and had parental bonding. it would break the game.
@@Ribombastic Don't remind me, after I spent over a decade transferring my Kangaskhan and many others all the way from Firered and even Colleseum (Gamecube), and then so hyped when my khangakhan, charizard, aerodactyl etc finally became OP, to only have them all getting banned :(
happy with this series as always but just wanted to give an extra thumbs up for the editing team getting even better with presentation and humor (like sneaking a BEAR pun into a text section on ursaluna)
Porygon Z was a Pokémon I didn’t care much about until he made the leap into 3D, one of the very extreme few who seemed to prosper in 3D over sprite form. I was working one day (maintenance) and had some time to kill, XY was brand new and out for like a couple of months, I finally got my hands on a Porygon Z, I had to step away during a battle and when I returned as the camera was shifting between Pokemon, I saw him spazzing out. I immediately loved him since. Sword and Shield let us have him wander behind us and it was even better! Female Indeedee was one of the few legit shinies I got from a den I stumbled across and because she’s such a great support pokemon, I had to use her more and more.
Normal is by far my favorite type. It allows for the most diversity in terms of design. A simple rat? Sure! A digital duck? Why not! A titan colossus? Hell yeah!
So I've been a Pokemon fan my whole life but never really got into it competitively. I found your videos randomly because I'll sometimes watch Pokemon related videos like Nuzlocke stuff and I got to say you have a great thing going here. I binged through a lot of your videos and find the idea of the Pokemon VGC much more interesting plus who doesn't love ranking videos. Also I absolutely applaud the editing if you well done if not give your editor a raise.
Sometimes it sounds like self-conscious that people might not like your teams videos very much, but I really like watching everything here. You guys do a good job and the videos are funny.
I always love this series because it is a kind of window into the vast history of vgc but the narrowness helps pick up specific pieces that made things work u might otherwise miss out on. Like I would totally have not remembered Super Evoboost at all otherwise but it reminded me of some of those more niche stored power type builds.
Is it just me or has the editor really been popping off on all of these recent videos. If you're reading this, we'll done, you've been really outdoing yourself.
Kanga was always my favorite mega when I played sun and moon casually, because it was one of my gen 1 faves and I was excited to actually have a chance to use it, and I had a ton of fun ripping through the battle tree with it. It's deeply validating looking back and learning how absolutely cracked it was competitively.
That's because the only custom subtitles for the video up rn are Spanish, and if you have english as your default, those subs get auto-tled into English.
Props to the thumbnail artists at knowing what Regigigas's eyes really are. Edit: Nvm. Thumbnail changed Edit 2: New thumbnail. You see eyes again, but not the eyebrows.
@@Dawg347 youtube now hás a feature where you can make multiple thumbnails for videos, and show them randomly to people. its called an A/B test. After some time, the thumbnail with the most clicks becomes the definitive one
I played a game when I saw the video title called "Write down what pokemon you think will be inlcluded" - and all of the ones I wrote down bar one were on the list - thought Oranguru might've gotten an honorable mention for its support/trick room stuff xD
I do not play competitive or really watch competitive content. But these videos are, at their base, just interesting. Finding out the uniqueness of some Pokemon and pairs, is just interesting to me. And it does make me consider getting into competitive. At the very least to watch more competitive content. News to no one, but Wolfey makes very good quality videos.
Perfect timing! I've been binge watching your (slightly older) tournament videos for the past few hours while working on breeding IVs, natures, etc. on my collection of rare ball mons. The narration is enough to keep me going for several hours without getting too bored with my somewhat monotone task. :) Edit: Ursaluna (regular formee) technically has access to Belly Drum as an egg move... it's just not used *that* often.
Never commented before. But to add more engagement. You are the ONLY youtuber i follow for pokemon comp stuff. I dont play. But you do a really great job of explaining wverything
Kudos to the editor, could see they tried something new with this type of edit, the hours put in are noticable and I hope you pay them damn well for their great work!

Me waiting for the Best Steel Type Pokémon to see my boi Solgaleo on the top 3 (bro’s not even making it to the honorable mentions) Keep up the hard work!
Nice to know Porygon is usable! I also hope you continue with this series, because I'd love to know the best Pokémon for Steel and Ghost.........and maybe poison. Been wanting to make an ailment based team for years now, but I'm not sure where to start on that...........but Porygon 2 would probably be on it.👀🤔
The one amazing thing about Mega Kangaskhan that wasn't mentioned was their propensity for crits. If your mon is attacking twice, you are twice as likely to get a critical hit. This can make their damage output even scarier and make Fake Out output a dangerous level of damage.
wolfey your videos are elite. the editing, the visuals, the information and the comedy moments are all put together so well i share all of these information videos in my discord channel to my homies. you and your editor are making amazing content
Farigiraf is definitely my new favorite pokemon from Scarlet and Violet. It’s the ultimate “No” pokemon. Aside from armor tail and trickroom you can use imprison yes to deny your opponent speed control with trickroom themselves but you can run protect on Farigiraf to also deny your opponent protect and run psychic noise to negate a opponent from healing and just out right prevent the use of draining moves.
I’m so glad Farigiraf earned a spot on this list, I’ve been shilling them since the very beginning of SV. While everyone else was using Indeedee+Armarouge (ew) I was like “Nah, Farigiraf+Hariyama/Iron Hands is the way.” A properly built Farigiraf with a Mental Herb has no way of being stopped setting up Trick Room outside of Spore and it was especially great when Iron Hands became legal cause running Pinchurcin electric terrain solved that problem, actually winning a regional that series.
A lot of people make fun of Wolfey for his pronunciation of Pokémon names and while sometimes it makes sense, they’re normally pretty simple, at the end of the day they are fake words even if they’re made out of real ones so it’s not that big of a deal I’m more interested in why he reads “form” in the British spelling “forme” and why he pronounces the e in it
Official Pokémon materials have used "forme" for quite a few alternate forms, such as Shaymin's Land Forme and Sky Forme (even though the word "forme" only has one definition and it's related to materials used for printing). These days, they've used "form" more, such as for Terapagos' Terastal Form and Stellar Form.
Hey Wolfey! You're kinda the president of Pokemon VGC content, it'd be sweet to see a "State of the Meta" type video from you. That'd help players not feel as intimidated to start competing mid-season.
"Ursaluna doesn't have Belly Drum" -- it actually does! You just don't see it that often, since it's risky to set up and kinda overkill on something that's already that strong
Side note: I know this video was only talking about competitive doubles, but Snorlax at least earned his 2nd place slot even further when his role in generation 1 and 2 are taken into account, because that guy was a MONSTER in the original games!

Fighting type = unseen fist
Dragon type = battle between Miraidon vs Mega Rayquaza
@@onebear6504 Mega Quaza has better feats, which are the things that Wolfey uses to justify his top contenders usually
@@leonel392 agreed 👍
dragon most likely goes to Salamence
fighting… urshifu
Me waiting for the Best Steel Type Pokémon to see my boi Solgaleo on the top 3 (bro’s not even making it to the honorable mentions)
Keep up the hard work!
Nice to know Porygon is usable! I also hope you continue with this series, because I'd love to know the best Pokémon for Steel and Ghost.........and maybe poison. Been wanting to make an ailment based team for years now, but I'm not sure where to start on that...........but Porygon 2 would probably be on it.👀🤔
I need to see the audio tineline for this video. Editors went all out, the animations too , *chefs kiss*
Just wanted to say your editor is doing a PHENOMENAL job 💣 I can't imagine how much time they must have taken editing all of this!
shoop da woop... an image that has not crossed mine eyes in many a year... along with the twerking amogus, the editor is surely on a tear recently
For farigiraf: dps always keeps changing, support is forever constant
The one amazing thing about Mega Kangaskhan that wasn't mentioned was their propensity for crits. If your mon is attacking twice, you are twice as likely to get a critical hit. This can make their damage output even scarier and make Fake Out output a dangerous level of damage.
I'd love to see a poison type tier list, since it's been such an important support type across the years
26:47
Small correction. Adaptability increases stab by 33%, not 50%
No is 50%
@@dylhansime9582 Adaptability increases stab from 1.5x to 2x. That is a 33% difference
1.5 + 33% = 2~
wolfey your videos are elite. the editing, the visuals, the information and the comedy moments are all put together so well i share all of these information videos in my discord channel to my homies. you and your editor are making amazing content
0:20 Those words are always beautiful to hear, but the phrase at 0:23 is the icing on the cake. Magnificent
38:11 WOLFE AND KSI CROSSOVER????? never would have thought the day would come
Farigiraf is definitely my new favorite pokemon from Scarlet and Violet. It’s the ultimate “No” pokemon. Aside from armor tail and trickroom you can use imprison yes to deny your opponent speed control with trickroom themselves but you can run protect on Farigiraf to also deny your opponent protect and run psychic noise to negate a opponent from healing and just out right prevent the use of draining moves.
i can only see the clouds on ursiluna’s forehead as eyebrows
It better be Snorlax.
I'll just say this: If the Normal type can be immune to something Supernatural as Ghosts, then they Should've gotten a resistance to Fairy!
The editing on these videos are so good. Content has been great lately
I still remember my Evo boost doubles team and my Curse Snorlax for singles in Gen 7 ... it was a lot of fun.
8:56 KOTOR Pazaak sound effect detected
The name incineroar was first mentioned at 12:53 in the video about the best normal type pokemon
“oh cool, a quick Wolf video while i eat!”
I’m so glad Farigiraf earned a spot on this list, I’ve been shilling them since the very beginning of SV. While everyone else was using Indeedee+Armarouge (ew) I was like “Nah, Farigiraf+Hariyama/Iron Hands is the way.” A properly built Farigiraf with a Mental Herb has no way of being stopped setting up Trick Room outside of Spore and it was especially great when Iron Hands became legal cause running Pinchurcin electric terrain solved that problem, actually winning a regional that series.
One of these days with this series, Wolfey team gotta make a thumbnail where tera Incineroar is gloating at taking over the video of this typing! 💎😼
If I don't see diggersby I will cry 😭
"I have not watched the full video yet"
The nostalgia I felt when you added a sound effect from Pazaak at 8:55 is real.
Yeah, I thought I was the only one who noticed. Gave me instant flashbacks
A lot of people make fun of Wolfey for his pronunciation of Pokémon names and while sometimes it makes sense, they’re normally pretty simple, at the end of the day they are fake words even if they’re made out of real ones so it’s not that big of a deal
I’m more interested in why he reads “form” in the British spelling “forme” and why he pronounces the e in it
Why have e if not meant to be pronounced?
@@GravityIsFallingThe same reason "why" doesn't have the Wh part pronounced... I don't know
@@GravityIsFalling Because English is by far the worst language in the world
Official Pokémon materials have used "forme" for quite a few alternate forms, such as Shaymin's Land Forme and Sky Forme (even though the word "forme" only has one definition and it's related to materials used for printing). These days, they've used "form" more, such as for Terapagos' Terastal Form and Stellar Form.
@@GarfieldTheLightning okay? That wasn’t the main point of my question tho
Hey Wolfey! You're kinda the president of Pokemon VGC content, it'd be sweet to see a "State of the Meta" type video from you. That'd help players not feel as intimidated to start competing mid-season.
"Ursaluna doesn't have Belly Drum" -- it actually does! You just don't see it that often, since it's risky to set up and kinda overkill on something that's already that strong
E_killer on singles: ubers staple.
E_killer on doubles: does not exist.
Does exist, but it's Tera Normal Dragonite~
Snorlax was and is still incredibly versatile and I love him
Isn't it bottom tier these days? Could use a buff.
it's not, still doesn't learn Slack Off
0:21 RIP Smogon enjoyers
Thank you for these videos, the subtitles really help my Spanish
Side note: I know this video was only talking about competitive doubles, but Snorlax at least earned his 2nd place slot even further when his role in generation 1 and 2 are taken into account, because that guy was a MONSTER in the original games!
I am sorting my Pokémon cards and I am currently on normal type cards, this is some suspicious timing
