My absolute favorite bit of competitive pokemon lore is that Dusknoir's ONLY competitive impact is that him existing lets Dusclops hold Evolite, and that's about it, he's almost always worse than his pre-evolution
Technically, Dusknoir is decent in Little Galar Cup in Pokémon GO, but even then you want Duskull instead. Shadow Dusknoir’s niche is that it deletes some Psychic types (especially Bronzor if played correctly), some Ghost types, and is generally hard-hitting damage, but even then you’d use Duskull over Dusknoir there, so the actual funny thing is that Dusknoir is usable in a tier. And that aside, you would also prefer Galarian Yamask, Pumpkaboo, or Drifloon to any of the Duskull line.
@angelmatesmolan Fr I was hoping chandelure would be in the vid . Like if ur not gonna put it in the list put it in the honorable mentions list atleast
Not mentioned, but the stance switching of aegislash is actually better than it looks as it actually makes it's slowness work for it: When it is in shield forme, by being slow it remains in shield forme until everyone else has attacked, then switch to sword forme to attack. While in sword forme, as king's guard is a priority move it lets aegislash switch back to shield forme before anyone else attacks.
One of the most interesting parts about watching these videos is the perspective from a person who plays vgc because it is vastly different than my personal experience of playing singles ou or whatever singles format.

@@Alionepiece-z3p it is good pokemon, and an menace, but I never thought about Gengar is the real no 1, cause Gengar is not just good but also getting several nerf from the ability from levitate to cursed body, no more ground immunity for Gengar
True Fact: The first ever Ghost Pokemon to win VGC Worlds was Mega Ginger on one Wolfey Block's team in 2016. This is the last type to ever win VGC Worlds, but plenty have won since 2016.
I completely agree! :D I mean, it is my favourite type as well, despite my nickname :P But I think they're not just either cool or cute, but lots of them are eerily beautiful as well, like Mismagius, Flutter Mane or Gastrier ^^
I think calyrex's problem in current gen is that it's "suffering from success" so to speak it's so absurdly broken every team needs an answer for it to not be eaten alive. That means lots of priority lots of trick room lots of incinaroar ect. These things are strong without calyrex shadow in the picture but are basically mandatory in a format with it.
That is one of the major blind sights of looking at results. A lot of performance comes down to what is meta. and even a small change can cause a big shift.
Thats exactly what happened to Wolfe in Worlds His CSR team swept the entire first day but died to teams that prepared for and had a clear answer to CSR
@@phantom-ri2tg I think that would definitely mean by definition calyrex shadow is absolutely meta and everything else is counter meta. No other restricted really demands an answer quite like it.
I will always love how unintentionally, they buffed dusclops during two generations later to his release, first giving him an evolutions and then access to eviolite, that thing saw competitive play with other monsters in gen 5, and he just looks ridiculous next to the other mons
I was patiently waiting until Flutter mane was going to be mentioned because I knew they were good and plus their like in the top 5 spot of my favorites, and was glad to hear you say “So I’m kind of breaking a rule of mine, because even though they’re new I couldn’t rank Flutter Mane below #2” at 23:53
While those are atrocious, he is simply mispronouncing the names, where as with Shedinja, you have to insert an additional 'n' into the name that isn't there to justify calling him "shed-ninja" Additionally, Arcanine and Clefable being mispronounced does not sound out into recognizable words that doesn't make sense. Shedinja being pronounced 'shed-ninja' invokes the idea of a ninja hanging out in a shed. Arka-nee-nay or Cleffabel doesn't mean anything in particular, so it doesn't offend his sensibilities.
@@blargghkip oh yeah for sure they’re both better special types plus Flutter Mane has way higher sp. atk than Mimikyu’s atk., it’s just funny Wolfe didn’t give any context to either 😂
I don’t really play Pokémon anymore, nor do I follow competitive Pokémon that much. But there’s something about Wolfey videos that really make competitive Pokémon interesting to me, I keep coming back to watch every wideo. Keep it up!
To be fair, 4/6 stats are useless on shedinja (well 3/6 if you want to run special moves for some reason) so it's not that weird for the second highest to be one of the useless ones
@@jblenThe entire reason health is useless is because it's so low, and the only reason you don't use Shedinja as a special attacker is because it has low special attack (idk it's movepool), so in reality it's more like only 2/6 of it's stats are useless because of it's gimmick, which yeah. It IS weird one of those is so high, especially since defense can't even reduce damage to 0 since Gen 1, and Shedinja was never in Gen 1 to begin with.
@@manologamerss5801 are you saying that hp and sp.A aren't useless? Hp being low is part of the gimmick that makes Def/sp.d useless so you can't separate it and say it's a useful stat, because if there were some situation that it was useful, then Def and sp.D would also become useful
It was never popular, but flutter mane can boost it's speed, special attack and special defense if you give it a assault vest and put it under strong sunlight and tailwind. Very hard to set up, but the reward is insane
I love these “best of this type” and “best of this generation” videos. Once you’ve gone through all the types and all the generations, there are two videos I desperately want to see: -an honorable mentions top ten of best Pokemon to not “place” in any of the gen or type vids… -a comprehensive ranking of every Pokemon to make any list of best per types and best per gen
That's just the world champ difference, his VGC videos have been so impactful and helped bring so many people to the VGC scene that he was able to teach players to be better than himself.
Ohhh... he cut my fav right from the start. At least Aegislash got a spot early on. Ghost is by far my favorite type, so I'm happy my beloved spirits are getting the spot lights! :)
Hisuian Zoroark took my favorite pokemon of all time, gave it an even sadder backstory, and then made it the only one of it's Dual-Typing in pokemon history as well as giving it an incredibly cool signature move. to say Hisuian Zoroark is by far my favorite pokemon would be like saying Michael Phelps is pretty good at swimming. i adore this pokemon with my entire soul
Before I clicked this video: It's Jenjar. It's almost always been great. Very few moments in the last twenty years have we thought, "I need a Ghost type" and not thought of Jenjar immediatly. Very few moments have we thought, "I need a Pokemon that's immune to Fake Out" and not thought... "Jenjar." Almost never have we thought, "I need a Shadow Ball user" and not instantly gone... "JENJAR!". Also, @1:41 Incineroar in a Wolfey video.
I went to like at the sub plug and realized I already liked lol. Great content. Digestible at so many levels of experience and still immensely deep in metagame thought and experience. Very impressive and sick
I swear I asked for ghost when you asked for type suggestions. Probably well after you already started making this one. So hyped to watch the video. I think rock would have a surprising amount of representation to go over.
Why are your videos the only ones I can play in picture in picture from my phone? I dont even pay RUclips premium lol. I really love these videos! Been following you for quite a while now, hopefully I start raking ranked games more seriously on the next game and can actually use the knowledge from your videos. Keep it up! Cheers from Spain!
24:30 Bro did not just say fluttermane is one of the best designed pokemon ever. I get what he's trying to say. But the reason Flutter can be used in so many ways is because it's movepool is insane. It has great coverage moves that you dont even see because it just muscles through most things with its offenses and typing. Fluttermane has 1 and only 1 weakness, physical bulk. Most pokemon have more than 1 weakness. Look at a pokemon like Zapdos. If you literally just swapped the movepool of Zapdos and Fluttermane, Zapdos would probably be better(at least as a support pokemon) despite not having a single flying type attack.
I dont event play pokemon but I find the breakdown videos about the series interesting. There's so much history there to learn that even if I don't play the games it's fun to learn about!
These video’s are very interesting for me as a singles player. Hearing things from the perspective of a doubles player is cool these lists would probably look a little different if someone did them for singles. Like he says M-Sableye was never good but in singles it had to get banned from OU.
2:15 Tera Shedinja *did* ruin the game on the Showdown-only National Dex Anything Goes format which lets you use Dexited Pokemon and moves. Or rather, it would have ruined the game had Revival Blessing Liepard not ruined it first.
Finally a video from any given VGC content creator that doesn't needlessly try to bash Flutter Mane or give it backhanded compliments for being broken. Breath of fresh air, honestly.
Worth noting this list is exclusively talking about VGC (competitive doubles), Giratina is a Restricted mon that has a skillset very poorly fit for doubles unfortunately, being only decent speed, decent offensively (compared to other Restricteds) and being very bulky but without a lot of key utility moves to lean into that bulk like healing or Follow Me. In a Restricted format you only get 1 or 2 of the strongest mons in the game and using one of those slots on a bulky wall that can largely be ignored is just not a good choice, and so people largely just don't bother. You see it on ladder sometimes but Giratina hasn't put up many results in tournaments at all
For anyone interested, it takes 101 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about d̶r̶a̶g̶o̶n̶ ghost type pokemon.

It really bugs me because the Duskull line is my favorite Ghost, and Dusknoir SHOULD be great (and he is... in normal gameplay, anyway).

15:20 *IS THAT A MFING JOJO REFERENCE???!??!!?1!!?!1!1!!!!?*
It takes 1:41 seconds for incineroar to appear
my favorite is Sableye, happy it got a mention :)
thank you, i was waiting for this video the most
Very scary dragons
Finally a video from any given VGC content creator that doesn't needlessly try to bash Flutter Mane or give it backhanded compliments for being broken. Breath of fresh air, honestly.
Petition to buff Gengar!
My man! I've been asking for Ghost since the first video and you delivered.
i like how the thumbnail changed to a different one and then went back to this
_I guess Tera Dragon Mimikyu? 😆_
My dad is the best ghost type cause you legit cant ever see him
A Tera-ghost Torracat named Gaspar with an everstone.
and a person named mindy trades it to you
Shedinja is the fav mon of Thomas (a wolrd champ french who used shedninja) so its cool to see him here 😊❤. Thx for the video
Thanks Wolfey
New thumb nail goes way harder than the last one btw 👏
ah yes my favourite dragon type, shedinja
I am curious about giratina
Worth noting this list is exclusively talking about VGC (competitive doubles), Giratina is a Restricted mon that has a skillset very poorly fit for doubles unfortunately, being only decent speed, decent offensively (compared to other Restricteds) and being very bulky but without a lot of key utility moves to lean into that bulk like healing or Follow Me. In a Restricted format you only get 1 or 2 of the strongest mons in the game and using one of those slots on a bulky wall that can largely be ignored is just not a good choice, and so people largely just don't bother. You see it on ladder sometimes but Giratina hasn't put up many results in tournaments at all
10:45 the classic guilt trip
Hey, it got me. I've been watching Wolfey forever, and he truly does deserve the sub, but I forgot I wasn't.
19:40 “Killer Queen has no weaknesses” 😂
The smash cut to the House of the Dragon ad after the last line of this video couldn’t have been planned but it was so perfect.
