Dragon city is a really cool game but after about a day of playing very rare dragons aren’t good and 15,000 food will get you nowhere but overall do recomend
Hey Wolfey! Just wanted to let you know that you subtitles in english are.. a bit wanky. It doesn't appear that they are automatic, so if you have a person that's doing them, maybe they should check them out. Awesome content as always!
The accidental skill swap taking away No Guard from Golurk, still landing the Dynamic Punch, just in time for Golurk to get Levitate and avoid Glimmora’s Earth Power all in the same turn had me laughing so hard
Y’all know how people say that “every Pokémon is someone’s favorite”? Mines Golurk, I cannot believe we’re finally getting the Golurk content we deserve
1:12:55 disappointed the editor didn’t include the team select commentary for game 2. Wolfe trolled them into bringing a bad lead because he knew they were stream sniping.
How can you tell he knows? I mean saying this and rewatching I see it but like, did he admit he knew elsewhere? What were the clues that he was sniped for him before they started doing what he said.
It's the era where what people used to call stupid meme sets to be viable and I'm so happy for it! Now if only Poketubers (like Pimpnite, Weedletwineedle, etc) who usually use these try in VGC too, it'd be a fun watch on RUclips as well xD
I think the thing that makes your videos so fun to watch is that you're playing. You're not just bringing the strictly best pokemon to every competition, and you take joy from your play even when you don't win everything. You're not yelling and swearing and angry because your opponent made a good play or has a favorable matchup towards you, you're just having fun and seeing if you can win. I like that.
Yeah, unlike other people in the tourney, he wins either way by making money from content. I'd be chilling playing any theme team just for fun too if I knew I'd be getting paid either way.
Wolfey is having so much fun with this format. The Neutralizing Gas + Toedscruel for fast Spore team, this guaranteed One-Hit KO/Perish Song monstrosity, and then an all Starter Pledge Team... just so much craziness he's been able to use and I'm loving it.
Funny enough, the first guide I *ever* read about VGC, before I even knew it was called VGC, used this exact strategy, skill swap no guard Sheer Cold, as an example of "A strategy that'd be way too inconsistent to work in practice". They even used Bronzong and Lapras as the example pokemon. Leave it to Wolfey to prove them wrong.
I feel like Wolfey proved them right more that anything. Yeah he got it to work a few times, but he also had to rely heavily on perish trap and some crazy luck to make it as far as he did. Was it entertaining? Heck yeah. Was it a consistent strategy? Not in a million years.
@@sangragcholsaranon9942 Gimmick strategies are only ever as powerful as the backup plan. Doesn't matter which is the primary, because they both need to be good to find success when your entire game plan can be shut down completely.
One time when playing on (low) ladder, someone played a team of Pokémon who knew exclusively OHKO moves. All of them were named after different gambling devices. I ended up winning, but I don't think I was the real victor there...
thank you for explaining things in a way that it's easy to understand for someone outside the competitive pokemon scene, while also not overexplaining things for people that know what a pikachu is, I've been loving your vids.
Watching this live I felt like those 30% accurate Sheer Colds came from Arceus himself to smite the stream sniper with divine punishment, what a wild ride.
Wolfey: I don‘t Like using hurricane bc it inaccurate Also Wolfey: Lets Hope Sheer cold hits (I know its 100% with no guard, but I still find the comparission funny)
That 1:29:00 play was the epitome of “WORLD CHAMP DIFFERENCE BABYYYY” low key, I’m about to buy some merch just because of how hilariously fantastic that play was….
@ he accidentally swapped a true hit ability which gave him a 60% chance to miss. Move landed so he laughed. Then the ability swap gave the other pokemon a passive that made him immune to earthquake. Basically, he messed up pretty bad. It ended up working in his favor and while also appearing that it was an intentional gigabrain play
That Glimorra not being able to hit Bronzong with sludge bomb into trying to earth power a golurk with levitate was the funniest thing to ever happen in the game
Going to be real, I think the craziest part of this tournament stream for me was wolfe just saying "Alright, if the 30% sheer cold hits I just win here" and then Lapras would nail it even without no guard. I don't think it happened too many times, but I distinctly remember it happening. It was wild.
the no guard vs phantom force monologue shocked me so much. I thought he was predicting the predict but turns out it was guaranteed. That is truly a knowledge diff moment
There's actually another comment that says that the Dragapult user was also a stream sniper, so Wolfey said all that to bait out the Phantom Force from the Dragapult user and hit them with the No-Guard. Literally pulled out the mind games on the stream sniper!
The Pokémon Battle Revolution commentator would enhance this tournament by a lot (this is always the case, but hearing "Sheer Cold delivers chilling misery" a billion times would be perfect)
I gotta hand it to Wolfey and crew: All these really clean videos put out at a really impressive consistency AND with great subtitles AT LAUNCH. So many channels either don't bother with CC or put them on later. Really appreciate the team getting that up in particular.
Subtitles being there is great but the captions aren't great themselves they get A LOT of things wrong, which I guess is fair considering how frequent the uploads are and how long the videos are
@Gamedres95 that would be because they’re done by AI and not a human being that knows what the video game terms/names are, so the ai can’t pick any of them up
30:01 Dude our match was so fun! Glad I could fight you again, this time with my swamp team lmao, Been using that team since the start of reg H so i'm glad people could see it in action
This has to be the most entertaining tournament I've ever watched you play. So much silliness happened and it looked like you were having an amazing time.
I just noticed when maushold used protect that the dad mouse is standing in front of the rest of the family, protecting them. Then the mom is standing in front of the two children as their last line of defense. Such an amazing small detail, so wholesome.
@john54345 yeah I know. That part of the video just when I noticed it since it was a close up of the family. I originally thought it was both parents side by side and the kids behind them
@adampozzobon5193 idk, before I posted my original post I couldn't find an official answer to the question of which one is the mom or dad. My thought on why the dad is the one in the shirt is that since its the family pokemon that the dad would be up front as the first line of defense for protecting the rest of the family. Just like in real families
"This is a stupid strategy requiring multiple turns of setup and that nothing goes wrong, so anyway I started building" aaah, I see you've been peeking at my magic the gathering decks again... (I know this isn't a Pokémon comment, I don't play any more but I just found this line incredibly relatable lol)
Anyone who isn't subscribed to Wolfey doesn't know what they're missing -- *every* video has something that surprises me, and they're endlessly rewatchable! In pure watch time alone, I think Wolfey is far and away my most viewed channel, maybe ever. I put on videos to do dishes, laundry, shiny hunt, draw, crochet -- they're so well narrated (especially the in person tournament videos) that I don't need to watch the screen to follow along, and the audio is always funny and engaging enough that I want to pay attention. Wolfe, you're absolutely one of the best produced channels on RUclips, and I'll be happily subscribed for as long as you're on the platform!!
Nothing feels better than actually learning about team-building from Wolfe you begin to accurately predict the Pokemon, moves, items, abilities, and strategies the team is going to use.
I knew so early on he'd bring Gothitelle exactly for this reason. Soon as he mentioned Lapras I thought about Perish/SC and realized Gothitelle was the obvious play.
I think what's wonderful about this video and strategy is you actually get it so many times. In a lot of your other videos, you come up with a neat strategy that ends up getting sidelined by your other pokémon that you brought along for coverage. In this case, Lapras really did all the work. It's awesome!
This is the sort of convoluted team that I love to see succeed. And I particularly love it because there is no way in hell I could do a good job piloting something like this, lol.
We were glad to host you again during this tournament! Was so wild to see you vs Michael live & this team in general!! Hope to catch you in a future event king 👑 -SirSmoke SpearPillar Founder/Host
@@Killer_Queen_310 you played?? If so, that’s awesome! I spent 2 years programming the game, and it got about 10k page views before relic castle got nuked. RIP 😭😅
I play the new pocket tcg, I’m pretty high up on the point system (which is technically ladder). Golurk is a card most don’t bother using. And someone brought a golurk setup deck that almost was competent and I still think it was one of the best/most funny decks I’ve seen. I love this giant.
@agent3689 Yeah. You need to have one, likely two gardevoirs and it’s pre cards to have a chance. With the golurk cards that is half of your deck already and you probably want a stall mon. But it’s hard in a meta where people can set up in 3 turns.
I know almost nothing about competitive Pokemon's tournament history but even I've heard of the notorious Fissure teams. OH-KO teams seem too good to be true so I assumed they were gimmicky, but I guess being able to maximise the number of times you get to attack is just broken with this sort of team. But the three Pokémon skill swap strategy is just... for a lack of better phrasing *very painful for everybody involved*
I think his plan for the coming run of tournaments is to run the most bs gimmicks but make them as good as possible. Like the cast spore of neutralizing gas + toedscruel
In the case of Fissure, it's not actually an OHKO setup, it's Stomping Tantrum. Stomping Tantrum doubles in power if your previous move failed, so you do the same amount of damage failing Fissure and then using Stomping Tantrum as you would using Stomping Tantrum twice. 70% of the time, that's just how it goes. But, that extra 30% of the time, you pick up a KO for free that you MIGHT not have without it. And you're using 2 move slots to accomplish this.
1:29:04 only Wolfey could go for a play that makes no sense and watch it be completely optimal. The earth power missing because of levitate on Golurk has me rolling 😂
The opponent was probably like “holy fuck that was the craziest read I’ve ever seen”, meanwhile Wolfe is over here cooking up some raw ass that somehow worked out. World champ difference
I just tried this team and it was hilarious, my first battle I accidentally forgot that inciniroar was slow in trick room and clicked u-turn to switch while I used skill swap. This triggered intimidate a second and then a third time when I skill swapped with golurk. They quit before I could sheer cold.
@@SpaceX0ne Taking away No Guard from the Golurk with skill swap makes dynamic punch basically a coin flip on whether or not it hits, since it has really bad accuracy, so it's a misplay for the play Wolfey was trying to make. However, he still hit the move, and passing the levitate to the Golurk accidentally read an earth power and avoided it, making it an accidental gigabrain optimal play.
love having your long form videos to absorb vgc strats and info while i do my own work LMAO im able to drop so much random tidbits mid-convos with my friends
I feel like Wolfey's delivery for these tourney intros is getting more natural and less gun-to-head hostage. Keep up the great work! Love it as always. 🧊🎶
So, he's got Lapras on the team with sheer cold AND perish song he's doing perish trap isnt he Edit: god damnit wolfe we need an intervention at this point
I am mostly a Smogon player, but I like vgc too, and this type of content is exactly what vgc needs. It brings creativity while being as competitive as possible. Your best video by far in my opinion, nice job Wolfey
Given the Dua Lipa motivation for this challenge, you could have talked about her song Gravity when saying the move Gravity is ineffective for this setup.
Lapras also learns Horn Drill. Between Sheer Cold and Horn Drill, only Froslass is immune. I'm sure nothing could go wrong giving two one-hit KO moves to a single Pokemon.
The edits are hilarious. The forging, the self-deprecating face swaps, highlighting Lapras's self-assured (even mocking?) backward glance, befuddled Vincent Vega accuracy, the entire inspiration behind this team.... gold.
I love Wolfie’s content because it feels like two videos in one you get the end death details of the team he’s planning to do and then you actually get an extended format of him using the team
It’s been a couple years since I watched one of Wolfeys videos, I had no idea he got this popular, you deserve it dude you’re one of the best competitors in doubles Pokemon. Congrats on your growth
This has to be one of the most evil teams I’ve seen you do, sheer cold and perish trap are quite a gamble, but when it works there’s almost nothing you can do
Do you remember when Fissure was learned by Machamp in Gen 1? Now Gen 1 transferred Machamp with Fissure with No Guard: Allow us to introduce ourselves. Also Sturdy Mons.
All mons passed through Virtual Console from gens 1-2 have their Hidden Ability. Fissure Machamp still can't have No Guard, and can't pass Fissure as an egg move either.
Also, Machamp isn't in Scarlet/Violet. And even if it was, pokemon moved into Scarlet/Violet get their moves reset to the last moves they would have learned by level up.
mans was on his villain arc before, he won a lot and lost some, then he went into his training arc! NOW he's back into his villain arc and better (+ more evil) than ever!
1:28:50 This whole sequence is my favorite Glimora fails to read Bronzong using skill swap Wolfy panicking and realizing he mess it up because dynamic punch might miss Golurk GETS THE DYNAMIC PUNCH to kill pawmot Glimora using Earth Power on golurk BUT FAILS Because golurk has now Levitate from bronzong I just cannot believe what just happen right here it was mind blowing
i used to play a lot of competitive back in the day, when i was in high school. seeing you do this stuff and have so much fun makes me want to get back into it -- i had stopped because i wasn't having fun anymore, everything was so... cut and paste. but you're making me see how much fun i can really have.
A two and a half hour video for another tournament? Why yes I will be watching the entire thing despite not playing competitive Pokémon because Wolfe is such a good story teller
Ok Also studry, focus sash, disguise, and ice face if the move is physical Those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head that are actually in the game
1:28:54 and the next 40 seconds after is some of the hardest a VGC game has ever made me laugh omfg LMAO what an absolutely insane team and performance and video

Perish song does KO after a single use, basically the same thing
tbh hes in a tournament which makes these fun to watch than a cut random online wins with niche
Wolfey tricking us to thinking it is mainly OHKO when he really just wanted to use his favorite again, Perish Trap
true
Perish TRAP Da goat
After match one, I have the same impression.
How to make ohkos 100% accurate: play perish song. It's 100% accurate.
Perish song is still technically a OHKO...
The accidental skill swap taking away No Guard from Golurk, still landing the Dynamic Punch, just in time for Golurk to get Levitate and avoid Glimmora’s Earth Power all in the same turn had me laughing so hard
Best moment in the video
Watched it live and the chat was goiung wild haha
"The enemy can't predict our movements if we don't know where we're going"

In pure watch time alone, I think Wolfey is far and away my most viewed channel, maybe ever. I put on videos to do dishes, laundry, shiny hunt, draw, crochet -- they're so well narrated (especially the in person tournament videos) that I don't need to watch the screen to follow along, and the audio is always funny and engaging enough that I want to pay attention. Wolfe, you're absolutely one of the best produced channels on RUclips, and I'll be happily subscribed for as long as you're on the platform!!
Case in point -- not even a minute later and "my eggs are hatching" made me burst out laughing during the ad read. Never change, Wolfey 🤣🤣
@@shadowacesonic2827 bro is doing TRICKS on it, holy zip it up when you’re done

@@hunterkinsella5303 bro shut up
Oh yeah definitely agreed, it’s really good to use as a podcast lol
The skill swap hospitality was awesome and blew my mind, but I'm aready subscribed, so here's a comment. !
Wolfey I gotta say, you’re the only RUclipsr who releases a two and a half hour video and I say “hell yeah”
Nothing feels better than actually learning about team-building from Wolfe you begin to accurately predict the Pokemon, moves, items, abilities, and strategies the team is going to use.
I knew so early on he'd bring Gothitelle exactly for this reason. Soon as he mentioned Lapras I thought about Perish/SC and realized Gothitelle was the obvious play.
Yeah, I never played a Pokémon game and I can more often than not guess abilities and moves 😂
I knew he'd bring gothitelle the moment he mentioned perish song. Also was 99% sure Bronzong would be on the team when he mentioned trick room
I think what's wonderful about this video and strategy is you actually get it so many times. In a lot of your other videos, you come up with a neat strategy that ends up getting sidelined by your other pokémon that you brought along for coverage. In this case, Lapras really did all the work. It's awesome!

It’s still ohko tho
@@JohnWasThere2 not for flying types
This is the sort of convoluted team that I love to see succeed. And I particularly love it because there is no way in hell I could do a good job piloting something like this, lol.
the big pikachu is gonna be mad about this one lmaooo, your teams are so creative i'm impressed everytime
We were glad to host you again during this tournament! Was so wild to see you vs Michael live & this team in general!! Hope to catch you in a future event king 👑

love pokemon destiny,
@@Killer_Queen_310 you played?? If so, that’s awesome! I spent 2 years programming the game, and it got about 10k page views before relic castle got nuked. RIP 😭😅
oh my sweet goodness. Golurk being used for something even if it isnt great is amazing. I love this.
I play the new pocket tcg, I’m pretty high up on the point system (which is technically ladder). Golurk is a card most don’t bother using. And someone brought a golurk setup deck that almost was competent and I still think it was one of the best/most funny decks I’ve seen. I love this giant.
@@augervongaribaldi I want to use Golurk, but it takes such a long time to set up, that I tend to sack a lot of my other cards.
@agent3689 Yeah. You need to have one, likely two gardevoirs and it’s pre cards to have a chance. With the golurk cards that is half of your deck already and you probably want a stall mon. But it’s hard in a meta where people can set up in 3 turns.
I know almost nothing about competitive Pokemon's tournament history but even I've heard of the notorious Fissure teams. OH-KO teams seem too good to be true so I assumed they were gimmicky, but I guess being able to maximise the number of times you get to attack is just broken with this sort of team. But the three Pokémon skill swap strategy is just... for a lack of better phrasing *very painful for everybody involved*
"it's not about winning, it's about sending a message"
I think his plan for the coming run of tournaments is to run the most bs gimmicks but make them as good as possible. Like the cast spore of neutralizing gas + toedscruel
In the case of Fissure, it's not actually an OHKO setup, it's Stomping Tantrum. Stomping Tantrum doubles in power if your previous move failed, so you do the same amount of damage failing Fissure and then using Stomping Tantrum as you would using Stomping Tantrum twice. 70% of the time, that's just how it goes. But, that extra 30% of the time, you pick up a KO for free that you MIGHT not have without it. And you're using 2 move slots to accomplish this.
1:20:53 this was not on my 2024 bingo card for Wolf to quote Chappell Roan ‘Pink Pong Club’
1:29:04 only Wolfey could go for a play that makes no sense and watch it be completely optimal. The earth power missing because of levitate on Golurk has me rolling 😂
The opponent was probably like “holy fuck that was the craziest read I’ve ever seen”, meanwhile Wolfe is over here cooking up some raw ass that somehow worked out.
World champ difference
I just tried this team and it was hilarious, my first battle I accidentally forgot that inciniroar was slow in trick room and clicked u-turn to switch while I used skill swap. This triggered intimidate a second and then a third time when I skill swapped with golurk. They quit before I could sheer cold.
Totally not going to use this for nefarious purposes
@RandoSando. third mode found
I remember watching 1:29:00 live and absolutely crying of laughter. Unbelievable turn.
Me too 😂
“Task failed successfully” the turn
I choked on my dessert it was just peak content.
I don't understand what happened.
@@SpaceX0ne Taking away No Guard from the Golurk with skill swap makes dynamic punch basically a coin flip on whether or not it hits, since it has really bad accuracy, so it's a misplay for the play Wolfey was trying to make. However, he still hit the move, and passing the levitate to the Golurk accidentally read an earth power and avoided it, making it an accidental gigabrain optimal play.
That first match, sheer cold and hospitality stolen to heal? I'd Home X A and be done with it
love having your long form videos to absorb vgc strats and info while i do my own work LMAO im able to drop so much random tidbits mid-convos with my friends
I feel like Wolfey's delivery for these tourney intros is getting more natural and less gun-to-head hostage. Keep up the great work! Love it as always. 🧊🎶
“regardless of stats, abilities,..”.
Sturdy: Allow me to introduce myself
So, he's got Lapras on the team with sheer cold AND perish song
he's doing perish trap isnt he
Edit: god damnit wolfe we need an intervention at this point
The origin of this team is absolutely wild. Thank you for the subtitles! While they're not totally accurate, they're still very useful.
I am mostly a Smogon player, but I like vgc too, and this type of content is exactly what vgc needs. It brings creativity while being as competitive as possible. Your best video by far in my opinion, nice job Wolfey
1:43:56 Who needs to hit Sheer Cold 30% when you just hit the Hurricane miss 30% every time 😂
Given the Dua Lipa motivation for this challenge, you could have talked about her song Gravity when saying the move Gravity is ineffective for this setup.
He also could've made a levitating reference when talking about skill swap heatran
Im surprised incineroar wasn’t talked about in the first 2 minutes.
Incineroar appeared at 6:02.
This *has* to be a record for how long the video went before showing it right?
Bc its getting old. Lol. But thanks for putting a time stamp i guess
@WhatNow505 skill issue
@@unebaguette9745 kinda incorrect setting to use that term but okay 😅
Incineroar will always remain in our nightmares ☺️
Lapras also learns Horn Drill. Between Sheer Cold and Horn Drill, only Froslass is immune. I'm sure nothing could go wrong giving two one-hit KO moves to a single Pokemon.
Lapras also learns fissure. Making it the only pokemon to learn 3 Ohko move
The edits are hilarious. The forging, the self-deprecating face swaps, highlighting Lapras's self-assured (even mocking?) backward glance, befuddled Vincent Vega accuracy, the entire inspiration behind this team.... gold.
1:44:47 that was the funniest bit
"Incineroar! Dodge it!" said Wolfey after Incineroar got KO'ed
Every time I think Wolfe can’t possibly come up with a weirder strategy than last time, he proves me wrong. It’s like watching Michelangelo work.
Perish Cold Trap has got to be torture for both the user and any opponents it beats. The most cruel team ever
I love Wolfie’s content because it feels like two videos in one you get the end death details of the team he’s planning to do and then you actually get an extended format of him using the team
In case anyone didnt understand, when wolfey says "mon" its slang for pokemon btw
It’s been a couple years since I watched one of Wolfeys videos, I had no idea he got this popular, you deserve it dude you’re one of the best competitors in doubles Pokemon. Congrats on your growth
Imagine the horror of seeing your Pokémon’s death via decapitation or frostbite
bro had to maximise his odds of pulling Dua Lipa
I think he's married, actually. (To me. [In the penultimate chapter of my fanfic.])
Not to ruin the joke, but in one of his recent videos he was using his girlfriend's typhlosion

@@alantremonti1381seek help
This has to be one of the most evil teams I’ve seen you do, sheer cold and perish trap are quite a gamble, but when it works there’s almost nothing you can do
I've never been more excited to watch a video that's basically just a replay of a stream I watched live from a little while ago lol
Everyone: OHKOs will never work.
Wolfe: Hold mt moomoo milk.
I feel like wolfey is like the willy Wonka of pokemon. Dude just shows up with the most random s*** and then DOMINATES
Do you remember when Fissure was learned by Machamp in Gen 1?
Now Gen 1 transferred Machamp with Fissure with No Guard: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Also Sturdy Mons.
All mons passed through Virtual Console from gens 1-2 have their Hidden Ability. Fissure Machamp still can't have No Guard, and can't pass Fissure as an egg move either.
Also, Machamp isn't in Scarlet/Violet. And even if it was, pokemon moved into Scarlet/Violet get their moves reset to the last moves they would have learned by level up.
If machamp was in scarvi, I *think* you'd be able to get fissure machamp with no guard into sword and shield using the buffed ability patch, but alas
Proccing sturdy into missing fissure sounds too fun ngl
mans was on his villain arc before, he won a lot and lost some, then he went into his training arc! NOW he's back into his villain arc and better (+ more evil) than ever!
The Steiner math reference very nearly got a genuine spit take out of me! Excellent content as always with flawless editing!
6:57 Yeah! My boi is coming in clutch! ❤❤❤
1:28:50
This whole sequence is my favorite
Glimora fails to read
Bronzong using skill swap
Wolfy panicking and realizing he mess it up because dynamic punch might miss
Golurk GETS THE DYNAMIC PUNCH to kill pawmot
Glimora using Earth Power on golurk BUT FAILS
Because golurk has now Levitate from bronzong
I just cannot believe what just happen right here it was mind blowing
And then the failed choice sleep talk read. The opponent wasn't having their best match of the day lol
i used to play a lot of competitive back in the day, when i was in high school. seeing you do this stuff and have so much fun makes me want to get back into it -- i had stopped because i wasn't having fun anymore, everything was so... cut and paste. but you're making me see how much fun i can really have.
But he is not talking about competitive pokemon… He talks about compet-in-tive.
This was so much fun to watch live
The fact that this worked WAY MORE than it should've was absolutely hilarious
Shout out to the forbidden team
on a real note i’ve been watching wolfey for a bit now. The content has gotten so much better for real
Amazing content, awesome team :D Thanks for all the cuts to speed up the pace of the battles a bit.
>Wait, it's all Perish Trap
Wolfey with loaded gun to my head: Always has been.
A two and a half hour video for another tournament? Why yes I will be watching the entire thing despite not playing competitive Pokémon because Wolfe is such a good story teller
Wolf: It one hit KO's no mater the typing or ability
Me: Wonder guard
Me: it’s not in the game
@@pierrehenridube3150And even if it was, he would have Incineroar just in case.
Ok
Also studry, focus sash, disguise, and ice face if the move is physical
Those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head that are actually in the game
Stealth rock
@@syan2240 sturdy and sash don't work against OHKO moves.
bro that first match would be wild from the opponent's perspective as all the pieces come together and the realization sinks in.
Amazing video! Amazed to see that lapras got so many clean 4-0s eleminating an entire team by sheer colding four times in a row
1:28:54 and the next 40 seconds after is some of the hardest a VGC game has ever made me laugh omfg LMAO
what an absolutely insane team and performance and video
Shoutout to the Oracle for instigating - I mean, inspiring - this video.
I can't believe I watched a 2 hour and 30 minute video in ONE sitting!!!! This was amazingly done.
as someone who has never really been all that invested in the competitive pokemon scene, i absolutely love these videos.
