wolfey hyping a game hes never gonna play
do i redownload just for wolfey…. questions questions
no
The very beginning: no, man, I'd definitely say Incineroar, I'm not a Dudunceparse😂
You should do a best move tier list
Just wait until you see mega Incineroar’s brand new ability “Screw You” that lowers all your stats by 6 stages
Honestly that would be the biggest nerf anyone can get, because then opponents defiant pokemon will immediately sweep your team. SO THAT ABILITY IS MORE BALANCED THAN INTIMIDATE 💀💀💀
@@Annoyyo7Finally contrary Spinda sweep

@@Annoyyo7 it also has a neatralising gas passive
🤣
"It's not like incineroar got a mega evolution..." You feel that? That's a death flag. 2025 is coming, Wolfe.
The minute you see Litten in the starter lineup, you know it's over.
shh... your giving game freak ideas.
2025 is gonna be fun
If we ever get a mega Incineroar i think competitive player would sold their game💀
Weirdly enough, Incineroar getting a mega may or may not be bad at all. If it mega evolves it gets a different ability than intimidate. God help us all if it keeps intimidate.
* Intimidate activates * >Incineroar is reacting to the mega stone * Intimidate activates * >Mega Incineroar used Flare Blitz
Legends Z-A is gonna create a monster
@@VictorbrineSC I genuinely hope so, I love Incinaroar he was my favorite Pokemon since gen 8
Oh God Gamefreak please make this happen. It's gonna be so funny.
@@thetruekingofwafflesFurries ruining everything, wants to make it even worse? On brand.
@@VictorbrineSC not the first time it happens. Blaziken was straight up broken in gen 5. what did GF do to rectify this? give blaziken a mega 🤦🏻♂
Damn I just had an epiphany. Incineroar is built to switch in and out. It is also themed on wrestling, where duos commonly switch in and out of the fight. It was all planned from the start.
Dude, I just realized . . . Fire Type U-Turn. DUDE! INCINEROAR IS TOTALLY GONNA GET THAT AT SOME POINT AND WE KNOW IT.😅
@@tylertichoc7330 we already have Parting Shot, which is Dark type U-turn that's arguably even better anyways
Didn't it have it in gen 7?
@@R8Spikenope. Only 8 moves switch the user out, and none of them are fire
@@nedcurfman3486oh I read that wrong I thought that was talking about u-turn distrubation
Player base before - "You freed us from landorus!" Incineroar-"Oh i wouldn't say "freed", more like under new management "
"you can have 6v6 singles...for now "
Perfect reference
Incin: "Oh you're a villain alright. Just not a super one." Lando: "Yeah? What's the difference?" Incin: "Presentation." **intimidates and parting shots**
"I wanna be, the very best, like no one ever was." Oh, but you are!
Ok that was a good one
I can’t wait to see Incineroar mega evolve in Pokemon Legends ZA, just to see Wolf be haunted even more.
it gets a new signature ability: intimidate ultra deluxe, which lowers the foes' attack every turn it is switched in.
@@wyawarD9677 Attack and special attack, and speed too, just to be safe.
Might as well add a new special move too, always flinches with a +6 priority and can be used every turn with no drawback.
No that was Intimidate Ultra Deluxe automatically disqualifies player who does not have Incin in their team. Incin reaching 100% usage in VGC with this one XD
Its ability will be the intimidater basiclly it lower the atk state every turn it switches in and switches out
Wolfey: "THIS POKEMON IS A FUCKING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT!!" Also Wolfey: "I support the problem."
Well, he's the world champ. If Incineroar is broken what is he going to do? Not use him?
He's pretty much forced to use it if he wants to keep up at the top. as the saying goes, if you can't beat it, you play it
@@mesdecent8051former. One time.
Some people want to see the world burn. Incineroar and Wolfey being a good example.
@@mesdecent8051 Yes. If he was actually good, he would use something else while hating on Incineroar.
"God I'm sick of Landorus, wish it would go away." *the apipom's tail curls*
Wolfe while Incineroar is on top: F*ck this pokemon. Haunts my nightmares Wolfe when everyone is calling it Midcineroar: Wait... He's one of the underdogs now? Then it's my time to use it
Nah he more like. Iam so gonna prove all this mf how wrong they are
@@Chymeee”my nightmares are valid and if you’re gonna laugh at my demons then I’ll use them to traumatize you as well”
ye the fact that people said incin was managable was such a dumb joke. they only said that so no one used him anymore
@@EineVerbindungi assure you that if this situation happened with decidueye, no one would complain, pokemon fans are just babies that get upset when their favourite pokemon gets outclassed
@@iateabigmac6978yea cause decidueye isn't nearly as good as incin lol
Remember when Incineroar was the most hated of the Sun and Moon starters for his design? Well, this is his way of telling us, "If you won't love me, then love to despise me."
It was his Face Heel Turn.
"Acknowledge me."
I never hated the kitty. I understand the qualms people have with the sudden jump in it's line but I love it
I didn't have any real opinion on them before but now I cannot stand them, just so bored of playing against the same boring teams leading with incineroar.
@@shyguyrocks1when i first saw incineroar i was like "thats what my cute cat turns into? 😥" But i slowly grew to love him after each interaction to the point where hes genuinely one of my favorite starter pokemon, hes just a goofy little guy
It's so lore appropriate for Incineroar to have become one of the most infamous heels of the competitive scene
Ikr! Roasting competitive and toasting the player base xD Incineroar wants to see em burn ig.
VGC players hate 'em because of how broken they are, certain fans hate 'em because they stand on two feet...truly, their heel power transcends reality.
Incineroar always wins regardless and I love it for that
The fact they put this thing on Kieran's Indigo Disk team is actually terrifying, like they really went: 'let's reignite every competitive player's PTSD'
pokemon company KNEW EXACTLY what they were doing
incineroar literally made vgc a legit horror game holy. this is what fake out, intimidate and parting shot does to a mf
I can’t stand that fucking cat anymore and it’s legit a reason I started playing other games more recently
And a dark type as well.
Watching him run circles around zacian and caly shadow was fun though
And his typing and natural bulk. It's just crazy that they buffed that thing in galar lol
@@Blugater tbf, in gen 8 they took him away knock off
Incineroar in Smash: Mid-tier at best Incineroar in Pokemon: Warps the entire game around it
He’s in contention for high tier now actually, Skyjay has been beating the fraud allegations.
Skyway would like a word with you
Skyjay is just that guy, incin is still mid
What’s funny is that both of them are really freaking good in doubles formats
@@Endershock1678 That's all Skyjay. Incineroar is a decisive mid-tier character, but Ultimate is a game where mid tiers and even low tiers are more than capable of holding their own in the tournament scene if used by a skilled enough player
I love how Wolfe made a 30 minute long video confessing his love for his favorite Pokémon.
Incineroar could beat 1 billion lions alone, who even needs the other 900 pokemon?
Nah inceneroar Will intimidated those 1 billion lions
1 tiger vs 1 billion lions
Fun fact it would take like 100k years just for intimidate to trigger for all 1 billion lions lol
Or wait I think that was my math for if it was evert ability that activates on switch in
June 18, 7727, 02:48:23 AM when I did the math I'm pretty sure this was the date I got for when it would finish triggering I did this a few days maybe a week ago so still pretty close
Incineroar, a starter pokemon. Designed to be one if not your very first pokemon for you to raise and bring on an adventure with you. Supposed to be simple, easy to use, and with a strong but not overwhelming power level. Ah yes, Incineroar.
Funny, I prefer Primarina better. :)
@@AmazedPIKACHUJock or femboy, take your pick :3
@@AmazedPIKACHUprimarina pretty good in singles ou
And supposedly, equally as viable as Primarina or Decidueye! They’re all equals!
@@Ycha_alpha how about neither. As I haven't played SM or USUM, I hear Primarina being better in Playthroughs, tbh
We’ve only seen glimpses of this rant for years. Now it all comes together. Honestly more exciting than seeing thanos being an active participant in the story rather than a side character.
This is like that moment when an older relative finally sits down and tells you the full version of a story that they've referenced for years lol.
0:53 i can't belive you actually found the correct description of that ability, i've seen so many people get it wrong
Wolfe has recently stepped up his yt game even more
First Yeah his style of editing and presenting videos has changed quite a bit. I quite like it.
Fr it's super entertaining now, fast paced with tons of information yet funny too. Plus, while I'm not like a noob to competive Pokémon, he makes it look way more basic if you get what I mean.
Ultra Necrozma with the signature move "Light that burns my eyes" 😂😂😂 most underrated joke of this vid
I legit though that was z move name since ive never played pokemon sword and shield😂
@@erenjeager4634 ultra sun and moon
@@erenjeager4634 z moves are sun and moon (gen 7 not gen 8) tbf, but yeah a solid joke, probably the world champ difference

I like how cosmog is in the restricted format. Like it’s even gonna do anything
It can splash!
You could always run Eviolite Cosmoem
Cosmog gonna pull a shuckle and deal 400+ million damage after some setting up
"It's time to use Z-Splash to max out its attack stat and do fucking NOTHING with it because it can't even BP!"
@@nedcurfman3486 AV to Struggle
love how even KIERAN had an Incineroar. Love that
All this proves to me, is that Incineroar is doing his job as a Heel especially well. Lol
Indeed! Incin loves all these attention they're getting.
Wolfe keeping Incineroar's success story alive whist hating the pokemon must mean that he secretly loves Incineroar. This is the hidden pokemon lore that we all needed
Secretly?
Works perfectly since Incineroar is literally a heel pro wrestler so they revel in this infamy
Nah its just the enemy of you enemy is your friend.
He’s a tsundere 🤭
What do you mean he secretly loves Incineroar? He openly SIMPS on it!!!
when the announcers said "the king is back" I didn't know if they were talking about you or incineroar. Either way hard line.
They were talking about both.
lol I also commented this. True either way.
I only thought about wolfey when he said that
It was their team. Wolcineroar is king.
I mean in terms of how playstyle matches the pokemon, Incineroar might be one of the best. He is based on a heel wrestler, so what does he do? He comes in, intimidates everyone, hits someone with a surprise attack, no sells the opponents attacks, fights dirty taking away their items, maybe does one super flashy move to get a KO, then tags back out before any major damage can be dealt to him.
The scariest thing about Incineroar to me is how many different roles it can compress. Like yeah, looking at my opponents team can give me a rough idea of how their Incin may play but that doesn't stop Incin from having a gazillion moves to surprise you with that you weren't expecting
T pose spinning to assert dominance
With legends ZA coming, incineroar might get a mega evolution to make wolfey go absolutely insane Edit: love how he changed the title from "How incineroar took the Pokémon world" to god damn "why this stupid cat is the best Pokémon ever"
The funny thing is, an Incineroar Mega might well change its ability and actually get worse.
@@aduboo29oh yeah, fluffy Incineroar is gonna be SOO bad XD
Luckly it would have different typing if it comes as a starter.
@@dilberthighi think fairy steel would be a balanced type for incin
And the funnier thing is there's a high a chance a Mega Incineroar keeps intimidate and it just triggers again, like how Mega Tyranitar kept Sand Stream @@aduboo29
I absolutely adore how much incineroar got so hated on when it was first leaked in 2016, but it came back with a vengeance and now people just gotta deal with it
Same here 😈
People hate it even more now. Not only did the stupid have to walk on 2 legs nooooo it had to BE ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE. As soon as it got intimidate there was no escape.
People still hate it tho sooo nothing really changed.
Wrestling heel doing his job amazingly.
@@dingus748 lol, I was always saying Incineroar is like the OG Rock of pokemon. A perfect villain but you can't help but acknowledge how great he is lol.
"THE KING IS BACK!" To this day, we still wonder if they were talking about Wolfey or Incineroar...
both.
The world may never know.
I had the matpatify extension on, so the thumbnail said birth of a killer, and it has never been this right 💀
As an outsider to competitive Pokemon, it’s very funny to me that the giant wrestling tiger plays a support role rather than a dps role.
Whenever I hear about competitive Incineroar, I think about Moxie Boosted's video on the strongest starter Pokemon. "An overpowered Pokemon is something like Urshifu, which necessitates it usage due to its lack of counters. Incineroar, on the other hand, had counters. It was just so reliable that you didn't mind it. No one has ever said, 'oh, i would have won if my opponent didn't have Incineroar, 'cause it was just, like clicking Fake Out and Snarl and stuff.'" Honestly, Incineroar has been one of my favorite Pokemon from the moment it was announced. I love its design (I'm a sucker for its championship belt made of fire), its personality, how it plays in Smash...heck, the fact it's a support Pokemon relying on tricks like Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot while pissing people like Wolfe off so much means it's pulling off its "heel wrestler" thing expertly.
Wolfe has a massive Incineroar poster above his bed, in which he sleeps with his Incineroar pajamas, under his Torracat blanket, while cuddling his Litten plushie. He's just in denial.
@@edg810the classic closeted incineroar lover
@@edg810 yeah, he also has the incimobile and the incijet in his garage for special occasions
Fellow Incineroar fan! *power handshake*
Whenever I hear Moxie Boosted's video on this, the more I roll my eyes. Urshifu is a legendary pokemon, Incineroar is a god damned starter.
Special shoutout to Glimmora for getting time to shine in regulation F simply because its one of the very few mons that can oneshot Incineroar and Tornadus.
Incineroar was the first pokemon I ever got, so it’s one of my favorite pokemon ever. However I never would have expected my favorite flaming feline would turn into such a menace.
The weird thing is also that Incineroar is not an inherently unfair or unbalanced Pokémon. It doesn't have unblockable moves like Urshifu, a game breaking moveset like Smeargle, an instawin button like Xerneas, ludicrously over the top stats like Calyrex or Zacian, instant battlefield changes like Groudon/Kyogre or the Tapus, or a truly broken ability like Chien-Pao. It just has the perfect amount of stats, moves, typing, and ability to become the most optimal support Pokémon ever.
well, chien-pao is at least interesting in that regard though as it also affects its own partner ... unlike in singles where it's just stupid.
its kit is so perfect, it managed to make slower speed an advantage
@@antimony2333 It's so perfectly optimized for doubles. It compresses so many roles into one slot that there is rarely a reason to not have it on your team.
This is the stupidest thing Ive read in this comment section. How is perfect stats, typing, ability, AND movepool not "unfair or broken"?
@@JayceCH.The stat spread is just good enough where Incineroar can be strong without being absurdly broken.
I have seen incineroar more on this channel than wolfey himself
I noticed how Incineroar could be a huge problem when I saw it counters every single Necrozma form. Nowadays I realize how worse the problem is than I thought.
This was such an insanely put together video! Animations and transitions were some of the best!
Even before it became a meta threat, I loved this wrestling cat creature. It grew on me in the Sun and Moon era. Remember when Incineroar was so hated and despised because of it's design. Now it's hated and despised because it can bend the competitive scene to it's will lmao.
>"It's not like incineroar got a mega evolution..." GameFreak: Wanna see me do it? >gives Incineroar a little buff with the new PLZA mechanic GameFrea: Wanna see me do it again?
Incineroar in Pokemon: terrifying meta-topping threat. Incineroar in Smash: loses to pink squishy puffballs
I am so happy with this tribute to Incin! Having a great Pokemon competitive player like Wolfey to slur you so bad just because of how good you are while being not obviously broken is such a big genuine praise to the mon! I've always really liked Incin's design, it's so tauntingly cool and the heel inspiration makes it even more so! It looks like a cartoon majestic cool humorous evil villain and the "humanoid" design fits it so well it's not a minus but a plus! Like, I can totally see it a Kung Fu Panda villain or something lmao. Or just it's appearance in Pokken is so badass, Incin really fit the fighting game aesthetic so much it'll also look good in Tekken etc! Everything about it is just perfect synergy, it doesn't even need a broken superpower, just an awesome toolkit! Best support and taking the overall crown with the war chest of "why be first when you can be second?"
I don’t even play competitively, Incineroar’s just one of my favourite Pokémon ever. I love to see my favourite kitty absolutely WRECKING the VGC, it brings me joy
I'm with you bro. I don't care what people say, but Incineroar has great design and he is extremely well-animated in-game. And with all of VGC history, he deserves to be on that throne for as long as he wishes.
You are the part of the problem
SAME
@@SuperZX49 GOOD.
When Kieran threw out Incineroar, I had a take a moment to laugh to myself. It was just too good of a moment.
When Sun and Moon first came out, my best friend nicknamed hers JohnCeNyan. I though that was halarious. I nicknamed my Decidueye Hooudini.
There's a lot I could say about Incineroar, but the comments have all said most of it for me. However, there IS one thing I'd like to point out that I haven't found yet. When this fluffy monster came out initially people would go on and on about how Oh the dark type doesn't fit it! It should be fire fighting, because it's a wrestler! But with how it plays - being a support mon that relies on tricks and low blows, rather than an offensive mon - it became apparent that it's typing did make sense. The cat is dark type because it doesn't fight clean, but rather dirty. It removes all the tools you should have on a fair playing field, and then cripples your ability to compete at the same level as it.
it's crazy how wolfey's editing gets somehow better with every video. I already thought he perfected it at the start of this year but this stuff is next level.
he's not the one doing it.
he ain't the one doin it
He's not the one doing it
Dude the animating in this video is better than I've ever seen for these types of videos. I dont know who made this but mad respect!!
Wolfe: Surely they'll nerf Incineroar Incineroar: OBJECTION!
5:48 Did not expect to see Ragnarok Online emotes in a Wolfey video.
Wolfe teaming up with his enemy to win at Charlotte is iconiqúe.
10:28 The only reason they're better is because the physical end of the Fighting types have more options compared to the special side. Same could be said with the special electric over physical electric moves. If we want to see more balance maybe the way to go is for us to level the playing field. By adding good moves and to have decent pokemon to back them up.
The editing on this is over the moon, great job to whoever edited it
I like how this guy refers to Pokemon as tools. He's the exact guy the anime warned us about.
I mean at the end of the day they are just tools. Especially in competitive where there's no friendship mechanic like toughing it out
that's the wcd
Imagine in Pokemon Legends Z-A ,Incineroar gets access and Wolf goes insane
You forgot how, since Incineroar's only useful moves are basically all damaging moves, this allows it to utilize assault vest, which also bulks him up specially literally even better
I just wanna give some massive kudos to the editing in this video. Stellar work
Oh the shade to Falinks that can't switch out lol
I like how this entire video was made just so Wolfe could gloat about winning a tournament for half a second at the end 😂🤣
I love the editing in your videos! There's so many memes in them.
Which video of Wolfey has Incineroar in the back with his hands towards his neck while he comically says he loves Incineroar? I wanted to find that frame to laugh again, because I loved that video so much.
Parting Shot??
"Its not like Incineroar got a mega evolution..." Well it might now.
Short answer utility. Intimidate, snarl, parting shot, retreat moves, can absorb burns and immune to prankster shenanigans. The list goes on.
Fun fact: In Spanish, Fake Out is called "Sorpresa", which directly translates to surprise. As a result, the Spanish competitive community has related Incineroar with the meme of "SURPRISE, MOTHER F*CKER"
That SF4-era M Bison inspiration for thethumbnail artwork goes hard
I was thinking the mega man 7 cutscene where dr. wily has big naturals
I loved all of gen 7 starters, and genuinely didn't know about the incineroar Meta, so this makes me happy for incineroar. Good for you buddy
Man, if I had known your videos about competitive Pokémon were informative AND funny I would've subscribed sooner!
Awesome video Wolfey I would say probably my favorite great editing and it was funny and informative!
I just don’t get it. Incin constantly prevents legendary horrors to plague vgc, compresses roles to the point that you can use meme mons with it, and makes Wolfe win tournaments… at this point it’s just blind hate imo
Well, it IS a heel...
ok I understand why you're afraid of potential mega Incineroar now.
Fantastic editing. Excellent conclusion.
The Whimsicott Nature Power Z-move mechanic was super interesting to hear about. Wow.
"He who fights Incineroar should see to it that he himself does not become a user of Incineroar"
I havent played any pokemon game in years but still watch a lot of your videos, love the editing, it gets me everytime
The editing in this video is incredible, very well done
The way the video ends in wolfey winning the Charlotte regenals and saying nope was the best bit in the video
I don't think wolfey likes incineroar guys
Every single time that Wolfe cries about Incineroar, the world gets more happier
What a good video! I love Incineroar and thanks Wolfey for the coverage on him!
Can we just talk about the production value for a second here? The editing in this video is 10/10 chef's kiss God-tier. Editor(s) deserve(s) a raise here
The fact that you actually explain how to play VGC is respectable. Pokemon: Fire awful and Psychic OP Pokemon SV: Incineror Pretty cool that you can see how that initial balance played out.
Incineroar is literally the foundation of my mans channel lmao
I just have to say, the editing on these videos are *INSANE* 👏
I just wanna give massive props to the person who edits these videos. Truly masterful work
you either die a hero or live long enough to use incineroar
I actually wondered if Incin would get Oppotunist as a new HA, just to put an end to its reign. But I’m here for as long as the best cat stays winning. Excellent video as always!!
The fact that in the 2019 championship Inceneroar's usage was higher than that of Xerneas and Primal Groundoun COMBINED is a testament of what had happened and what was to come. Edit: Im really hoping the mega evolution they will inevitably give to incineroar is like one of those mega evolutions that are strictly worse? Like imagine if they give it a generically good ability like sheer force. Sure it will now have an insane flare blitz, but is it an intimidateless incineroar that good?
but.........! Since abilities still trigger and if icin becomes better at tanking... then he can intimidate, mega, get sheer force, bulldoze the game.
Ok so that _Nature Power, Terrain, Z-Crystal Tech_ is mind bogglingly awrsome. _Prankster affecting it_ is just icing on the cake. *_But that opening the door for it all to get shut fown by a simple Dark Tyoe is class!_* This is insane and I never knew that any of those interactions existed.
Yet to finish the video but I need to say that the edits and production of this video is sooooooo good.
This cat was so busted that the gave him to the battle obsessed Rival in the Indigo Disk
The editing gets better and better every video!
Literally never ever heard anything relating to the competitive scene of pokemon, this vid was mad interesting and got me hooked for more!
The smugness in that ending was the perfect end to the video 😂
Imagine if we get a water/fairy pokemon that has an enhanced shadow tag ability that stops switchouts and stat drops in gen10. Like a support Primarina that is meant to directly counter Incineroar. Give it really good bulk, access to follow me, immunity to stat drops, and shadow tag. Optionally give it recover and a weird but busted signature move to threaten the opponents (open to ideas).
Dude the editing been going CRAZY lately 👌
Special shout out to the editing of this video.... top class
