How pokemon home could change meta? Pokemon getting old moves/abilities from old gens. I believe they will be VGC legal this year since they are still in the dex.
This was definitely needed. I think there are a lot of people interested in VGC but who don’t know how to participate. Knowing how to find premier events around them is the first big step, and TPCi doesn’t advertise that very well
I could never get into the "competetive tutorial teams" that are plastered all around youtube. But these vidros are acutally helping me improve. I might have spent $5 on twitch to join the discord server but lets not worry about that
Saw what happened last night on Twitter, glad you're still going, your content has definitely made me a better player, keep doing what you're doing and don't listen to the haters 😁
Pokecal was not mention but probably the best resource for finding local events. You can insert location, get events near you, and it pulls up so much information. It also lets you add directly to your calendar. Feel like that should be a known resource for peope
The timing of this vid is amazing. I've been recently thinking about competing but I tried to look up places where I could compete and despite being in London there are like no local competitions. I feel like if I do want to try and qualify for Worlds which is in London, Id need to like go to America to get enough points.
@@usualblokeluke yeah they had one this month but I'm sure next month they'll open up a new one for march. Just check pokemon website and/or seribii and you can register and compete
Any advice for those without local events? Nothing within 250 miles of me but I’d love to get more involved in the VGC scene, but I don’t want to have to drive 8 hours for an MSS or PC and I’m not sure about a regional if I’ve never played an event before
Make these videos more often. Seemed like there was a big gap in time since the last one. Idk Good work though man. Love your videos. Congrats on your play button btw
Thank you so much for the info. Now I just need to see if I can network and find someone who can tell me about events because I highly doubt there's only one in the next three months like the site is telling me...
I totally get you. No Midseason showdowns, no Premier Challenges, you need to fly over to another country to participate in a Regional... I wish TPC would add more accessible tournaments in the other regions, especially in the Oceania.
I know the feeling! When I lived in Colorado, there was one in town. Now that I'm back in Oklahoma, there nothing near me at all! If tpci was informative about how people could qualify online then I would be a lot more interested in trying.
Huh, this helped me realize that there's a premier challenge in a city really close to me next month, and a regionals within 50 miles from me after that.....
I wish I found this a month ago cuz i missed some locals until I figured out how to find events myself. The CP explanation was very helpful tho because I didn't know how to start planning on getting points
Wolfey, i know its a while after the video and you probably wont read this, but thank you for inspiring me and using "follow me" to show me how to get involved in competitive, last weekend i ended top 8 in my local open event only a month after my first sanctioned event! arigatou senpai!
Ditto Pikachu there are events in California, but the organization and registration with the TO’s has complicated things to where there is only 1 event in SoCal and NorCal a month. Just keep a watch on the event locator. An event should pop up from time to time.
As someone who lives in the East Bay, I actually attended our first SwSh Premier Event in Santa Clara last weekend. Unfortunately that TO is our only active one as of now. This is when her next event will be: www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/pokemon-events/20-02-001276/
Hey I’m hoping this isn’t a stupid question but maybe somebody here could answer me ... I i were to start competing in these premier events. How exactly do CP get tracked/stored ? Eg. How would I prove the amount of points I had if I wanted to enter a higher competition. Thanks
Here's a tip that isn't mentioned, check out r/VGC, they have their own event locater and it organizes by not only country, it also organizes by state. With r/VGC you can also find the TOs for your state and the websites for your state to make finding events easier
Hol up, what do you do if you don't qualify in any region?? are you allowed to go to another regional or local, in another country for them??? I'm Indian and tourneys aren't really a deal here
Question: I have like a .500 record in Masterball doubles (180-180) and like a rank of 12000... I’m not great but I love to play... should I give this a go or am I asking to just get buried? Lol
If you want to, go for it. I mean, even champions lose pretty often because there are just so many strategies someone can use in Pokémon and you can't have a perfect team that can handle them all.
I think that the Event Locator is trash, coming from a dude living in Canada. I find it impossible to find any local events, which I do believe there are fewer of than in the US but there certainly aren't none. Just add that to the list of things wrong surrounding this game right now
@@PlatinumHowler here's an event that's taking place in Metro Vancouver this Sunday. I dunno how close/far it is for you though: www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/pokemon-events/20-02-000650/
Are there no events like these in Japan/Korea? The game is Japanese, so there should be, but I literally cannot find a single event listed on the event locator anywhere in Japan or Korea, even if I search for events for the entire year. (I'm a foreigner living in Japan and figured I'd try going to one event for fun, but I can't find any info on Japanese events on the Pokemon homepage or the event locator.)
Dergonu Japan I know does their Worlds qualification differently. They earn their CP in online tournaments and that CP goes towards their Nationals. Those who qualify for Nationals have a chance to earn an invitation for worlds through earning a good enough placement at Japan’s nationals. Unfortunately only people who have a residency in Japan can participate in their online and National tournaments.
@@AttackingTacos Oh interesting. I'm living her long-term, so I do have residency. I'll try looking into those online tournaments then. Would be fun to at least try playing in one.
I know you’re sarcastic sometimes so when I watch videos like this that give advice I’m always on edge since I don’t want to end up following it and looking like a dumbass
I've been enjoying your Vids for the most part but I have to say that was mostly incoherent rambling. Didn't seem helpful and suggesting people type their question into Google is hardly useful...honestly I think you need an editor

@@WolfeyVGC See you next year at worlds hopefully ;)
@@diamond1468 HahA there is no worlds

I wish there were more online events or more events available, I'm from the middle of Ireland and really don't have much hope for anything :p

Even though it's not gonna be for 2020 (of course), I want to start competing in vgc so I'm really glad for this video, thank you very much
I'm a fresh player looking to get into VGC play so this video was exactly what I needed. Ty so much!

@@ZackSNetwork A fellow of culture I see
Same I’m also looking for competitions in London so I can qualify for London Worlds next year. Found any?
Thank you! I've been waiting for a video like this for some time haha
I know that I'll never be able to play competitive pokemon, but I still like your videos cuz they give good points on pokemon I need
Every time I look up the Event Locator, it takes me to the news article of the 2020 VGC being cancelled
Because of Covid-19, they are doing online tourneys and giving out BP points instead until this all blows over
@@darkaurachannel1460 I see, any way to compete in these online tournaments?
@@usualblokeluke yeah they had one this month but I'm sure next month they'll open up a new one for march. Just check pokemon website and/or seribii and you can register and compete
Man, whenever there's something I think "Hmm I wish I knew *thing* about VGC" Wolfey is like "SO HERE'S MY NEW VIDEO ON *Thing*.
Amazing.
You read my mind! I was just looking to join! Thanks WolfeyVGC!
Yo I forgot about this series, but seriously this is great.

This man looked at the city "Mississauga" and said screw pronouncing that LOL
I know... it is kind of cringeworthy for me because I live like 20 min away from mississauga
@@ARedToilet Same I live an hour away LOL
Don’t forget he pronounced ‘Ontario’ badly
Thank you so much for the info. Now I just need to see if I can network and find someone who can tell me about events because I highly doubt there's only one in the next three months like the site is telling me...
Sad there are no VGC tournaments in my country besides the one on the opposite coast
I totally get you. No Midseason showdowns, no Premier Challenges, you need to fly over to another country to participate in a Regional... I wish TPC would add more accessible tournaments in the other regions, especially in the Oceania.
The tales of Wolfey glickey, the man who feared the dollar.
Yes now I know everything for competitive, this gen was my first time trying it
Nice timing with this vid, I’m entering my first event this weekend (a local in SoCal) and I was kinda wondering how some of this stuff worked.
Hey I will be there too! Looking forward to meeting you.
Did you guys meet? We must know
@@jbdbibbaerman8071 A continuation of this request, did you two ever meet?! 👀
Thank you! Finally I can get into VGC ^^
Man, the closest local on the event locator is over 6 hours away. That's what I get for moving to South Dakota I guess 🤷🏻♂️
What's a "south Dakota" lol
@@RigoRV09 it's that square one in the middle.

Thank you wolfey!
Huh, this helped me realize that there's a premier challenge in a city really close to me next month, and a regionals within 50 miles from me after that.....
did you go and if so how did it go ?
I wish I found this a month ago cuz i missed some locals until I figured out how to find events myself. The CP explanation was very helpful tho because I didn't know how to start planning on getting points
Thanks! It helped a ton!
man wolfey is the swiss army knife of pokemon
I just realized there is a regional in my country Sweden! Hope I'm able to attend!!

I live 50 miles away from San Fran and the whole Bay Area. it says there are no Premier Events for 6 months, within 250 miles.

Quick question... do CP get reset to 0 after worlds ?
Do they host tournaments like they do with smash? I’d love to go see one live
What's nice is the closest events to me are 1.5+ hours away... Nice!
I would love to participate and just see how good I actually am

What kinda teams am I allowed to bring to those different events? Are rentals allowed or do I have to home breed the team that I wanna compete with?
Do you pay yourself to go to different regionals/worlds? If so what is the estimated cost?
Do you know if it is possible to use rental teams in tournaments?
Unfortunately not.....
Rental teams ?
Wolfie,idk if you will respond to this,but is there like regionals/PC/local stuff in Asia,specifically Singapore
How do you get good iv mons for your teams?
Oh so anyone can rock up to a regionals or an internationals but you need to pay?
What resources are there for actually getting into VGC? I'm a Singles player looking to make a start on VGC but have no idea what I'm doing.
This video is kinda funny I like it
Hol up, what do you do if you don't qualify in any region?? are you allowed to go to another regional or local, in another country for them??? I'm Indian and tourneys aren't really a deal here
Do a part 2
What does this look like now?
What if there’s no group in you county plays Pokémon? I can’t find and events in my county not even google it.
What should I do.
I've heard that VGC is only doubles. Is there an equivalent in singles or is that just online play?
The league type events are singles based I believe but you won't get to any big tournaments on that format
Ah, thank you
We can use the mile distance to triangulate wolfey muhahahaa
Question: I have like a .500 record in Masterball doubles (180-180) and like a rank of 12000... I’m not great but I love to play... should I give this a go or am I asking to just get buried? Lol

How does online competition cp add to regular events cp. And when does earning cp stop like how long do we have to collect until worlds
Until worlds convocation
