Last year, I won the largest official Pokemon tournament of all time. This year, I'm gonna try and do it again.

"Stand Proud Wolfey" *Said Incineroar* "You are strong"
Wolfe looking at Incineroar: You’re right, Incineroar. I’m you. I wanted to reject you, convince myself that you were wrong, but that doesn’t matter right now. I’m going to use you.”
Incineroar be like “Nah, I’d win”

God you are cringe
Naming Urshifu, a bear, Slippery Dawg, and using a clip of an otter as an argument, is another level of Wolfe naming trolls.
Urahiyu is suposey to be an otter
I'm sure Urahiyu is... But let's not forget the topic of our discussion is Urshifu

@@DrevikkDrevikI think that’s the joke
Listening to the incineroar rant made me realize this is Wolfe's heel turn arc where the former face forms a tag team with a villain. I love it
No no this is incineroars face turn
@@kawaiiempoleon8721 Not possible. We cheered for Wolfe here, not Inciniroar here. It's design was still a godawful mistake.

Wolfey: 'I'm *done* with Pokemon that aren't accepted by the mainstream!' Also Wolfey: 'Incineroar is doing poorly? Well, I love an underdog!'
to be fair he did say he was done with BAD pokemon not non-mainstream ones😂
also, 30% usage still comfortably qualifies as "mainstream". Its just "low" for Incineroar's standards.

After watching this, (which was pretty difficult mind you considering how often I was jumping out of my seat) I noticed Wolfey seems to have forgotten one thing throughout the tournament, one very important factor to include: He has the World Champ Difference.
Litten's dex entry: If you try too hard to get close to it, it won't open up to you. Even if you do grow close, giving it too much affection is still a no-no. Seeing Wolfe and Incineroar come together like this feels like the Pokedex predicted this. XD
Parting Shot into KINGAMBIT was a true Giga-Chad move.
Tungstenium balls there
@@niltondias5976 The fact he called it correctly is the icing on the cake.
Honestly how to you come back from getting read that hard
Most memorable play of the tourney for me
wolfey accepted the king's gambit
1:30:50 "Less thinking, more punching" unfathomably based of the world champion's various strategems
True
i couldnt do anything but smile at this point. this was what let me know he was gonna win. ABSOLUTE GOD LEVEL mentality.
As someone who doesn’t play Pokémon but loves watching your videos, you drawing on the screen to show the complexities of the turn is super helpful. Makes it so much easier to understand what the potential moves are with that visualization. Great video and congrats on the win!
I never noticed this when I first watched this but it is crazy that you/your editors replayed these matches just so we could watch them play out in the video. Awesome stuff!
Please never let go of that gholdengo bit. It's too funny not to keep using imo
100% agree
Damn that string cheese man
I love it so much haha I’m trying to find it again in this video, i forget the time stamp
"Using Raging Bolt as my last Pokemon for now because that gives me twice as many giraffes." This is the classic Wolfe content we know and love, lol.
the "B" in "Incineroar" stands for "balanced"
That's hilarious lol 😂
The entire tournament assistants when Wolfey comes in: "why do i hear final boss music?"
Hearing you explain the speed stats of Farigaraf and Incineroar is that World Champ Difference, 100%. That was so insightful and advanced than what I'd hear from most other VGC content. And clearly explained! Love it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My goat
Am I missing something or did he put too many EVs on it?
Wolfe: 'I won't use bad Pokémons anymore" Also wolfe: *will use his worst team Circles around registeel*
Registeel is a monster now
Tbf he said he would do it in online tournaments for content only which that was
Registeel is the 2nd best after regigigas
Registeel is actually not that bad, it had some very good results early meta in larger tours. Hippo and Gliscor are the true atrocities
MY GOAT
Wolfey’s going to have to do it a third year in a row specifically because his content continues to bring more and more people into VGC, meaning that the “biggest tournament” will continue growing. By being good at his content-creating job, Wolfey is making his VGC job harder. I love it. Haha
39:00 lmao idk why this part had me laughing hard asf 😂. the ogerpon was just sitting in the back lmao.

Oh my god that was so good!! So happy you came back with a bang and really support the move of being less out there with ur pokemon. This team was truly peak wolfe with great meta picks and incredible twists on them that keep it fresh and provide incredibly entertaining matches.
Really enjoyed how you laid out your thought process with the arrows and the (silly yet accurate) Pokémon drawings. Helped a ton to explain how necessary it is to not just think about the Pokémon on the field, but to think about the Pokémon that could be on the field next turn or the turn after. Appreciate the high level analysis and congrats on the W king!

You’re an inspiration, dude. Your videos never fail to move me after watching them. As a fellow competitor, albeit in a different game, I want to be just like you in terms of improving and competing. I’ve kinda moved past being fans of competitors since I’ve reached the point where competitors, even at the highest level, seem like normal people to me, and I truly believe everyone is beatable, but man am I a fan of yours
These pokemon tournament videos that are 1hr+ long are always my favorite type of content from you. Keep it up man you're such an impressive competitor and equally impressive story teller.

Amazing video, the explanations of everything are fantastic and the turn by turn diagrams were fantastic. Every time I watch one of these videos it fires me up to try competitive Pokémon. Keep up the awesome work Wolfe and team!
Wolfey reading Mistborn, the absolute GOAT
Yooo someone else noticed
Mistborn is the catalyst to the cosmere, he is in for an amazing ride
What reference did he make? Or did he just say it and I missed it?
I have been timing wolfe to see how fast he mentions the world champ difference. 74 seconds. 1:14
I read the channel's description of "greatest Pokémon player of all time" and thought Wolfe was sarcastically gassing himself up, but I've watched the video and realized it is a realistic claim. Seriously, this man pulled something utterly badass with his accumulated knowledge and strategy, allowing him to break through and take the title he came for. Bravo.
It's half joking. He does not really think he is the best of all time, but often jokingly makes the joke of the "World champ difference", due to his 2014 win. He thinks the best is Aaron Zeng
When you have the competitive history he has you earn the right to make such a claim, joke or not.
He is definitely one of the best players, but probably not the best ever, ever.
@@otozinclus3593Idk, I personally have never seen Wolfe miss Will-o-Wisp
The little drawings explaining the plans for the turn are just delightful. Love this style of wideo, keep it up champ!

Hi Wolfey! Thank you so much for your inspiring story. I really enjoyed watching your competitive Pokemon videos cause they really ignited the love I have for Pokemon again which I didn't have much ever since Pokemon Sw/Sh. I've also been suffering from burnout, and it's been a rocky road to finding my way into a good and healthy routine and recovering from it. Nevertheless, this video helped me try to pick myself up again, so thank you
i’m not in the pokémon scene outside of my love for the show/games, but i love your channel, and this video really spoke to me. burn out is such a horrible experience, and i’m so glad you spoke on it. it’s so scary because the only way to move past it is to prioritize yourself, which is so scary when it feels like everyone else keeps moving forward. but we can’t compare ourselves/our journeys to those of other people, and we need to do what’s best for each of us. i loved that reminder in your video :)
I love the drawings when you're describing your predictions they genuinely make it a lot easier to follow and they're just cute
8:40 This is such a raw line lol
Amazing video as always, I watch those even without playing Pokemon 😅 The most important part of it in my opinion was how you talked so openly about "burning out" from playing. I experience the same thing right now and it led me to understand that I need to take a break and change my workplace. Thank you! ❤
Great vid Wolfey! I love these types of videos where take a serious look into teambuilding and all your considerations. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

@@Battlefield2021 I had to rewind to make sure I heard him right lmao
What does that mean??
@@arininquotes8396its an old meme
@@arininquotes8396 Relatively old speedrunning meme that basically translates to "softlock" or for pokemon battles specifically is akin to "all my friends are dead syndrome" where a pokemon is effectively neutralized and just stuck watching its teammates get double targeted while it can't really do anything but watch.
can we just appreciate Wolfe's drawings? especially his Incineroar is actually really good, which I guess is a testament to his PTSD ig
It’s also much more impressive than you think; he has something called aphantasia, which means he *has* no mental image. When you imagine something, you “see” it in your mind’s eye - he straight-up doesn’t. It also means he can’t self-reference when drawing, if you draw something you make a mental image and copy from how that looks. Of course, it doesn’t affect his cognitive skills, clearly, but it very much affects his ability to draw. Those Incineroars were a marked improvement for him (and also explains why the Flutter Manes looked a bit more like rabbits than ghosts)
My editor Whit made all the drawings for the diagrams! He’s very talented
@@WolfeyVGC You two make a powerful combo then! Like a Torkal and a Walking Wake, really lets your already-great stats shine and boosts your moves!

For real, huge respect for your win, hope you can continue on and I'm excited to watch it on you KZhead channel
Me and a friend are both competitive players of a game I won't name. We've actually learned that taking a hiatus can actually improve decision making and play so long as proper derusting is done beforehand. We've dubbed this "Break Strats" and even though most people are afraid to do it oftentimes we find ourselves breaking huge barriers after we reach our skill relative to before we left. Always remember it's okay to take breaks and that sometimes it can even benefit you a lot, that I know for a fact applies to every competitive game from Chess to Pokémon.
Let me guess LOL?
@@Gravity_Ws_only No lmao I wish I had prize pools that large
How long of breaks do you often take?
@@avena7506 dang idk really know then,can you give a hint
@rileyackison4495 can be as short as two weeks or as long as a few months. Do it if you feel like trying too hard has left you stuck. You'll generally get back to how good you were before in a week and keep improving at least a little bit from my experience.
"The King is back!" I love hearing that after Wolfey's win and I'm so glad the video included it. It wouldn't have felt right without it.
My goat, this video was so good to watch to learn the ins and outs of mindset and other aspects of competitive VGC
Congratulations Wolfey! Your hard work paid off. I loved the video too! Can't wait to see the next one.
Wolfe did some crazy calculations regarding speed in this tournament, its very impressive
I was literally sweating watching this video. Especially at the end, playing the same opponent for not a second, but a THIRD time is wildly difficult mentally. The opponent in that case has nothing to lose and you have everything to lose. It was so cool seeing it go down to the wire like that. Great content and congratulations Wolfe!
Congrats bro, I don't even watch competitve pokemon anymore but definitely rooting for your success. Fun watching your videos and somewhat the scene through your content!
GG Wolfe, well deserved win and excellent video. Narrated like the champ you are to keep it exciting.
The annotations over the moves are phenomenal! Hope we see more of this style of editing! Especially the Incineroar drawing every time.
16:24 Damn Wolfy's so good he unlocked the secret 584 ev cap
The world champ difference
do you know what the EV's actually were?
@@zephyrlegion6047that's what *I* wanna know lol
@@zephyrlegion6047okay so I just found the link to the pokepastes page with the stats turns out it's 108 HP meaning he actually left 4 ev unused I guess so if his speed IV were to low he could add the extra evs there to hit that 78 speed?
@@DuelingDexpertsit's because at level 50, if you invest into an even number of stats, you will always end up with 4 points remaining. Normally you could put them into another stat (as the first 4 points are enough to get a stat up) but in this case, there was no stat left that he could invest in (speed was out of the question). So the points were simply a leftover.
When the first videos about that tournament dropped, with you in their thumbnails, I KNEW I had to wait for your own video about it. I immensely enjoy this type of content.
Incredible video. From team building to winning it all
1:32:37 "The king is back" Obviously he's referring to Incineroar
The amount of thought that goes into team making seriously blows my mind. The thinking about the speed in the early video genuinely made me respect players so much more. I don't think I will be playing at this level but still watching it from the sidelines is so much fun. Respect for all the players and thanks for such a good video wolfe, huge fan.
Such a good video and nice tournament to see live! Good luck in worlds! You got this!
I would say the markups are fantastic and help illustrate the descriptions being giving. Appreciate the content Wolfe.
49:20 i say this with the most venom i can possibly muster. How incredibly embarassing for Game Freak.
For any other company this would be horrible and get immediate apologies and dev attention if you couldn't fkn play the game you bought AT THEIR TOURNAMENT but it's pokemon so it's fine ig
This video is fantastic, so well written, the storyline of you using the top mons to take every advantage after using experimental mons for so long is great Raising the bar of pokemon content, nothing unfriendly to the family necessary to do it, Wolfey is 100% my goat and I loved this video For many years wolfeys been my favorite player and an inspiration in the way I play many games, as VGC was my first competitive game. Glad he's killing it content-wise too, thanks Wolfey 💯
I love love LOVE this type of videos. 👌🏻 please keep them coming!
Enjoyed so mutch watching you and never knew there was so mutch strategy it blew my mind . Good work champ!
This was a ridiculously good showing. Genuinely world class. It goes to show that a control heavy team that can play with hard reads is the best for you, compared to hyper offense or defense teams. The amount of outplays with armor tail, grassy terrain, trick room and parting shots was off the charts. Also good to see you tackled one of your main weaknesses, not being able to use Urshifu.
