THIS VIDEO WAS SUPPOSED TO GO UP LAST WEEKEND DURING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS BUT I WAS TOO TIRED TO GET IT READY APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY
Hi
It’s okay Wolfe
Don’t worry about it
It's alright, no need to startle us with all caps lol
I will be expecting a 10 hour apology video with you playing the trombone throughout
If anyone is curious: Regidrago was used by 3 players on day 2 of Worlds, 2 of whom used the same 6 Pokemon (if not the same team) as Ansena's tournament-winning team mentioned in the video. The highest-ranked of them placed 61st overall.
That's comparable to regular Articuno, which was used by 2 players and peaked at 70th place. Can't be right every time!
Lol 😂
rest in piece brah
how does that compare to the number of teams that brought regidrago to day 1?
Can see him explode once kyogre is allowed where just speedy spread big dog
Regidrago also made top 8 on two different teams in the seniors (second oldest) division so overall that’s kinda crazy
I like how they Nerfed Eleki's ability without touching Draco's one
Well, generational nerfs have been done to pokemon that have overperformed in the previous generation. This gen they hit Urshifu-dark, Rillaboom, Zacian and Regieleki which as you probably know were extremely popular last gen. They tecnically nerfed Zamazenta's stats since they had to match Zacian's total BST and ability, but ended up buffing him anyway since he finally got access to Body Press at least.
Regidraco had nearly 0 usage, so no need to hit him, in fact he got buffed by gaining Earth Power / Earthquake which it didn't have last gen, meaning he doesn't need to terastalize to hit pokemon immune to his stab (whereas Regieleki more or less has to).
Its odd. They nerfed Wicked Blow, Transistor and Glacial Lance but they still decided to nerf Zamazenta alongside Zacian.
I don't. They should've nerfed both or neither
On the other end of the spectrum, they nerfed Zamazenta’s ability in response to Zacian!
@@butteredsalmonella I mean it makes sense since they are a pair of box legendaries so they have to have to same BST so they had to nerf it but I'm pretty sure that Zamazenta a better move pool since in gen 8 that was one of the main reasons it was so bad
Also fun fact during the later half of gen 8 Smogon were actually considering moving Zamazenta down to OU
Earth Power and Earthquake were really great buffs for Drago
However, they could've given Drago Flash Cannon and Iron Head as well
I would really like to see Iron head regidrago
Remember: when regidrago terastalize it's the dragon head that receives the hat
Maybe we will get move tutors in the DLC like in the last game
flash cannon in combination with earth power would turn its weaknesses into soup
honestly deserved since eleki's been stealing the spotlight for a bit too long now
@@Dynacrown It's like the Zacian and Zamazenta situation. One legendary is bad while the other one is broken. But I'm glad that Drago is getting attention from GameFreak.
@@aldwych285 Zamazenta got Body Press this gen, but i really don't think it deserved the nerf to its ability. Game Freak should've pulled a Regidrago with it too imo
its a shame that regidrago is overlooked in singles as well, it one-shots most non-fairies and slapping a scarf on it lets it hit like a double-decker bus with jet engines.
only a double decker? naw its atleast a triple with rocket engines
The top 10 pokemon by usage in OU last July were:
Great Tusk, an extremely reliable stealth rock setter
Kingambit, a bulky steel type with strong priority
Iron Valiant, a strong and fast fairy type
Gholdengo, a bulky steel type with reliable recovery and a spin blocker
Samurott Hisui, an extremely reliable spikes setter
Dragapult, an extremely fast and strong dragon type with great STAB
Baxcalibur, an ice type with strong priority
Slowking Galar, an extremely specially bulky pokemon with reliable recovery
Zapdos, which isn't a huge deal
Enamorus, a Fairy/Flying type that completely counters dragon/ground coverage.
Pretty rough top 10 for a pokemon that relies on never taking damage. Sure, in the right scenarios it can beat all of these pokemon, but it REALLY needs the right scenario. It needs a boosting item to 2HKO standard AV Glowking, Gholdengo frequently runs air balloon, and keeping hazards off the field isn't exactly the easiest task in the world. Suffering quite a bit from the Rampardos theorem.
Fairies: "lol u cant hit me with your dragon ener-"

@@jacksonsmith2955 fair point, but unfortunately for you I've made an internet comic with you as the soyjack and me as the gigachad.
(but yeah it suffers a lot from lack of coverage and having to not take hits)
Regidrago is a personal favorite of mine. Glad to see he’s finally getting recognized😂
Ever since I used it I realized I win more easily in rank match. So yeah
Its even better now than in gen 8 lol 😂
Wolfey inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
yeah , regidrago is better than regieleki
Also used in a few TCG decks, very cool mon!
The fact that Regidrago’s terastal hat is on the dragon arm’s head is just so cute to me I really hope he sees more usage since he’s my favorite regi
honestly huge missed opportunity to make regidrago a Gigantamax. He could've become a whole dragon again instead of being just the head.
They didn't introduce any Gigantamax at all in the CT and no Gigantamax outside of starters and Urshifu in the IoA. Feels like a symptom of being rushed.
if regidrago got a gigantamax then good ol’ eleki will get one 😊
Reads "The forgotten Legendary"
Me: Its probably Enamorus
See's Regidrago
Me: Damn, I forgot that one
XD
2020/2023 were good years to be a Regi fan. New members instroduced, and we saw awesome competitive displays by our boys both in VGC and TCG. I will never forget watching Regigigas with Weezing taking over the metagame.
I got to master rank for the first time last summer using gigi weezing :)
Yeah, regibox was sick in the tcg and was at first seen as a meme deck. Later on it became a huge threat in the format before SV rotated its energies
Wo-Chien went crazy at worlds too, getting into top cut and finishing 19th.
While the highest placing Ting-Lu was 70th.
I hope they buff and make regis with unique abilitys and moves
Legends Arceus buffed a bunch of Sinnoh Pokémon giving them new moves (like Cresselia), so a Hoenn-based Legends game could work very well in their favour, and possibly have an ancient Regigigas that doesn’t have Slow Start.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiastregigigas without his ability would be way too good, Also now It has rest and protect to Outlast the five turns
Regirock: Sand Stream
Regice: Heatproof
Registeel: Filter
Regigigas: Clear Body
@@Mustache99 At the moment Gigas is gimmicky if anything. Even if in a legends game they make a form with lower stats without slow start, or make a slightly less hindering ability, it could be much better.
@@Mustache99idk about it being "too good" as it's a Normal-type, but it'd at last be a solid pick for the team since the days of Weezing shutting off its ability.
fortunately we still got a few regidragos at worlds, including one in T8 seniors :)
If you're running tera-steel Regidrago, you could use steel terablast against fluttermane and make the attack 1 point higher than sp attack so it's a physical terablast.
What nature then? A neutral one?
Terrible idea. You'd be sacrificing way too much SpAtk for something the 5 other mons in your team can handle.
@@renecuajomx i dont think its a terrible idea but you really want max SpA so dragon energy is still usable when you take damage. it might work on a bulky AV set or something
@@VampiresAreRealGuys No, it really is a terrible idea no matter how you look it, you're tunnel-visioning in one mon only. 100 base Spatk is not that high so it needs to be maxed out. What this guy is saying would imply running a neutral or -def nature which is not ideal, and because the base stats of Atk and SpAtk are identical you have to even out the distribution, which could've been spent simply maxing out SpAtk. This is why you get 4 mons to play with at a time. This is not 1v1 Challenge Cup.
I love it when forgotten Pokemon turn out to be monsters in the right situation
Ouuuuu truly forgotten . We wanna see you do a video with the song “Dupe - Dost” 😅😅
I know it’d be busted, but imagine Regidrago getting *wish.* A cheeky… 302 hp wish (at max hp investment) sounds fun.
2:17 imagine going back in time to tell Wolfey that Wo-Chien placed higher than Ting-Lu at worlds
Great video Wolfey & team! Loving the editing, the visuals and audio effects are great 😄
Regidrago’s time to shine has finally come!
Ukraine?
Definitely has... it made Top 64.
Drago and Eleki were a hard choice to make, but I’m happy I stuck with the funny lil’ draconic chattering teeth!
Scale Shot on this dude was so much fun and I hope that it comes back!
I've actually been using Regidrago on showdown since the beginning of S/V because I knew he was going to destroy.
What team have you been using could you paste it? I guess some trick room variation
One of the most forgotten legendaries is silvally. Its just good enough to not be remembered for being bad but not good enough to be remembered for that either. And its main gimmick of changing types with an item is far more well known for arceus
Wolfey at least give some respect to our lad Arcticuno, he’s had a bit of a comeback recently in VGC
Zamazenta is the most redheaded step child that ever redheaded stepchild'd
Haven't had time to look at anything pokemon related recently but there's always time for a Wolfey video every now and then
welcome back!! I got a huge kick out of seeing you at the front of the pack in the Championship video thing they played when the tourny kicked off. I laughed audibly and was like 'SICK 'EM WOLFE!' - you did really well despite everything. Looking forward to seeing you back in the sauce next year
Legendary pokemon have lost their lustre for me but scarlet and violet really revived the awe they’ve had for the first 3 gens
Bringing the Paradox legendaries in with raids really killed the hype of them but I understand why they done it that way
How? The 4 non version exclusives were just kind of tagged on to the end of the game without much real gameplay lore
@@CrashperMthe ruin quartet has lore off to the side, go to class
@@CrashperM they have lore
@@CrashperM me when I don't listen to the story and still call it non existent:
Hot Take: I like Regidraco’s design better than Regieleki
No
I agree, I like regidraco more
I think draco needs just one more thing to make its design great. Right now it just looks like a ball with claws.
Agreed
Hey wolfey, long time subscriber here. I just wanna say your scripting and delivery have improved so much! I've been out of the vgc loop all gen9, but this was so well written and delivered, that it kept me interested, and i was still able to absorb the technical info.
Also, commiserations on early worlds exit. Hope you continue competing as rooting for you is always a joy.
Props to the editor. Really good stuff!!!
Props to Wo-Chien for trying his best at this year's World Championships.
Scope lens focus energy has become one of my favorite strategies to date and it works great with Draco meteor to ignore the Sp. Atk drops. Regidrago gets all these tools plus Tera steel Tera blast and it’s such a fun set to use on the ladder
This video made me want to use Regidrago. Not a competitive VGC, but watching your videos inspired me to at least play VGC on showdown from time to time, and it’s a lot of fun! I still have a lot to improve on, mostly predictions, but it’s been a fun grind! I started watching you in your gen 8 days, and I am very thankful for you putting out all of these informational vids!
I think its really cool that there has generally been a good balance of legendaries and regular pokemon in pro play. As a casual singleplayer-only pokemon fan, I grew up thinking that legendary pokemon were OP, so I always imagined competitive play being filled with nothing but legendaries. Glad that ended up not being the case
Very good set I've used:
Physically attacking Regidrago
Max Atk and Speed
Steel Tera
Loaded Dice
Dragon Dance
Scale Shot
Earthquake
Tera Blast
Scale Shot boosts Speed and Physical Steel Tera Blast deals with Fairy types
My biggest issue with mr drago is that when it is in its Head form it resembles Charizard which gamefreak has made clear it isn't a Dragon
The sphere is the dragon part obviously
Isn't a dragon *yet.*
Great video as always! Love your content!
Wolfe that closing monologue was fire! Love the perspective and wisdom .
Good to see you back at the grind.
So happy to see this with Regidrago/Whimsicott being my favorite duo in Gen 8
Great video. Love these insightful pieces on competitive content
Very glad that Regidrago is getting love, such an unexpected legendary
Regidrago was canonically supposed to be the strongest regi but the villagers were like "Regigigas, please don't make this thing" and so he didn't. and Now we have an incomplete form of what Regidrago could've been
Every time you post a video it gets me hyped up to play more Pokémon!
I tried Regidrago after I see Cydonia made a twich episode (months ago) on a team based on it. Yes, Fluttermane was a big issue but with a little care it is vey fun to use (and I suck on VGC).
Yep, I agree that Regidrago could be great.
I used Galarian Articuno in VGC in my local area last year and I became known for it for a short time. I used it to setup tail wind while capitalizing it's ability competitive. Maybe I should bring him out in Scarlet and Violet.
I love regigrago 😭 I was so sad to see he wasn’t getting used as much as regieleki.
Thank you wolfie for your content i enjoy it a lot hope that the channel grow a hug and keep it up❤❤
Came into the video expecting it to be about Wo-Chien. JoeUX9 got 19th at Worlds with Wo-Chien but still no love for the love for the slug from Wolfe :(
Certified Wo-Chien Moment
Neat. Excited to see if Enamorous and Regidrago develop over this next year.
Amazing video dude, just one thing; at 7:20 on the little information card it says max airstream raises ally defense stats instead of speed lol
I'm a big fan of Regi Drago, I messed around with it a lot in sword and shield running a choice spec list. It was inconsistent but when it worked it just devasted teams, love it ever since.
General mons with moves like dragons Maw (Eruption, water spout) normally only work because they are faster or in the case of Torkoal abuse trickroom. Regidraco just suffers from having a middling speed stat and an immunity against it.
I haven’t forgotten Regidrago, I love my shiny dragon regi
Funny how this video goes out late on the one occasion where we see Articuno and Wo-Chien doing well.
This is cool to know since I've been thinking of trying out vgc and I just bought a pre used copy of shield today
The Gran Turismo clip hit my heart, love gran Turismo & Pokemon!
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Actually I really like the editing of this video. Good job Editor! :D
Thanks for your content. I started playing online because of it ❤
Teamfight tactics memes in a Pokémon VGC video I love it so much lol 😂
0:37 It is funny to me that Wolfey is trying to show off this massive difference between Articuno and Zapdos despite the fact that Articuno and Zaptos are both shown to have decent usage percentages
He’s my favourite Regi, I would never forget him especially considering I successfully shiny hunted one when the Crown Tundra first dropped
i LOVE regidrago SO SO much!! so glad to see that it might be used more frequently
Ha ha you have the best editor. The legendarys jumping into the pool made my day.
My future prediction for new Regi-forms:
Regiquer: Fighting type, 200bts Attack, represents Times of War.
Regieace: Psychic type, 200bts Sp-Attack, represents Times of Peace.
You should do getting #1 in the world with only gen 1 team, then gen 2, then gen 3, etc.
Drago was my favorite looking of the two, I'm glad it's getting some shine
i lowkey love how the tera crown is placed on the dragon head of regidrago, it's a real nice touch
The first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was"Oh hey, RegiDraco, and moved on
I only play Pokemon casually every now and then and the latest release I played was Sun but 9:26 was so satisfying!
Wolfey uploading made my day
One of the best tubers ever keep up your good work ❤
The editing in your vidos are jsut so fun
This gives me hope for one of the Regis I use on my team :)
The Tera hat going on it's big dragon skull arm and not the orb part is hilarious and amazing
regidrago is insane I was using it about 2 days before this video came out. and in doubles with the right supports/set it is going to be insane. I think I just got lucky in making my team but they support regidrago and destroy its weaknesses perfectly.
Great editing!
Honestly I'm just here for the Photoshoped bits, love Regidrago in a suit.
“On the whole” really shining here 😂
Love the Regi's. My absolute favorite group. Eternatus is one of my favorite legendaries.
I can't wait for the video covering the tornament
I am very glad this legendary. Pokémon is getting love he needed that love.
One Of My Favorites, The Best Regi For Sure, regidrago is A Dragon Type Legendary Pokémon & regidrago Have An Awesome Design, i mean regidrago is A Golem Like Dragon That isn’t FULLY COMPLETED YET, regidrago Have An Ancient Dragon Form When regidrago is A Gigantic Dragon, But it Was Just The Head & regidrago Being SEALED AWAY is A Reference To Dragons Being SEALED AWAY By Knights During The Dark Ages. The Age When Knights SLAYS Dragons And regidrago Being The Dragon Being SEALED BY The Citizens of galar Long Time Ago Makes Perfect Sense, regidrago is An Awesome Legendary Pokémon, One Of The Best Dragon Types Ever, it’s Typing Makes Sense Since it’s A Dragon.
watching these from a pokemon singles perspective is interesting, as moltres has recently been good in the gen 9 ou metagame.
can't wait for wolfey's world's video
As someone whos FAVOURITE pokemon is Regidrago (And does a bit of competitive) this is amazing!!!
I always loved regidrago nuking online back in gen 8. Not a super consistent strat, but when it worked it was a thing of beauty
Pretty cool to see it actually being competitive this time though
Right when I was thinking "I wonder if Wolfey has another vid" boom comes up on my Home page
Your videos are really satisfying and I especially liked this one. Do you think that anyone will try Tera Dragon Regidraco and go ALL IN to power through and KO key threats 1 turn earlier, even though Fairy typing is completely immune to it and Tera Fairy exists?
An even more forgotten legendary Pokémon that Regidrago, Silvally who did not even get mentioned in the Gen 7 section lmao
I recently have been using zamazenta with body press, iron defense. Iron head drops fluttermane in 1-2 hits then body press after 1-2 iron defense has some serious ohko energy. My best treasure of ruins counter too. It has trouble against ting-lu earth power, but you can body press it into oblivion
i barely play but at one point in swsh i was running drago and appletun. definitely some weaknesses given my inexperience with the format but it was probably the best team i made in the format
Regidraco gotta be one of my faves
I like how Regidrago wears the terra hat on it's shoulder instead of on top of its head.
I know someone who got to 1800 on showdown with a scarf regidrago set, Its honestly insane in the right hands
In what format?? Because VGC goes nowhere near 1800
Everyone's running regi drago on showdown now
Oh you mean the one that benefits from having to use Dragon Energy at the quickest time possible
Its awesome to see one of my favourite pokemon have the chance to shine in tornaments after being unusable
I just nerfed regidrago’s stats so that way he sat above everyone else instead of being left behind, I could let my favorite Regi get put down like that
the edits on this one cracked me up idk why
