goat!

TIME TRAVELLER!!!
Great video I love tuning in when you upload
Part of the problem is we all thought Miraidon's signature move was Electro Drift when it was in fact, Volt Switch.
the REAL electro drift
Drifts him straight to the pokeball
"There's only one way to fix this.
Buff Incineroar."
@@SlimeBlueMSno
@@SlimeBlueMS incineroar gets a second ability arena trap 😂
"It's not very effective..."
Miraidon: That sign can't stop me, because I can't read
Miraidon's ability: illiteracy.
Ignores everything and does whatever the heck it wants to do
@@Warlord_MegatronSo Unaware + Mold Breaker
That's why it needs glasses
@@ethankim9721 no unaware as in unaware of where the pokemon went after hitting it
“It’s not very effective but it’s very effective if you catch my electro drift.”
What I learned is gamefreak looked at Dracovish and said "what if it was a bike"
Misplaced fossil fish cool
But not hoverbike dragon yugioh 5ds cool
22:16 "BYE BYE INCINEROAR"- wolfey gets his revenge
My head canon is it was the same frolicking Incineroar at 2:55
For anyone interested, it takes 9 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about an underrated legendary.
It was literally part of the team it was used in tho
@@dimaginarylawI don’t think they’re saying it’s bad. Just a good stat haha
This has some "It took FitMC roughly __ seconds to say 'the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft'." energy.
We really looking at it huh
0:09 Pokésprite cameo
0:22 Actual appearance (model)
Nice to know that the good 'ol "just hit them really, really hard" strategy is still fluorishing.
if strength alone isn't enough, just get even stronger.
- galarian darmanitan, probably
“Nah, I’d use choice band 🗿” - Galarian Darmanitan when questioned on whether it likes choice scarf
Dracovish, Dracozolt, and Z giga impact arceus approve.
Rampardos would approve this but it's too frail to stay long enough to do that
@@Hugo-yz1vb everybody writes Rampardos off, till one day it gets Accelrock.
It’s like Kyogre’s son, back with the strategy of doing a fuck ton of damage with one type and not having to deal with that types’ resistances because it does 200%+ to most targets
Which is funny because Koraidon is also a bit like Groudon: Sun-setter who isn't a Fire-type ordinarily.
I love how Miraidon's success is Unga Bunga more. Power up what it was good at and just hold down the gas pedal to do more damage, and let its passengers cover its flaws.
To steal a line from another pokemon youtuber, Miraidon is "Gloriously inelegant." "It switches in and is like..... Ok, I'm gonna click the button now.". Amazing stuff.
Pretty ironic how its the futuristic bike lizard that’s going unga bunga.
@@kilojuliet4what TH-camr said that? It’s a great line.
@@mythicsword8169 reverend! He's got a really low energy and lethargic kind of delivery that I really like, but he's not everybody's cup of tea. Focuses on older gens, singles, Smogon stuff. Basically the opposite of Wolfey hahaha but I like them both a lot.
That moment when you out-ungabunga the opposing grass monkey
24:40 “It’s not very effective but it’s very effective, if you catch my electro drift.” Lmao god tier commentary
Incredible commentary
Gas straight gas commentators 😂
absolutely perfect
Fire commentary
Electric commentary
Genuinely can't believe that we've got to the point where we're setting up tailwind for a mon with 135 base speed lmfao
The power creep in the later gens is getting pretty wild
Remember when base 108 was fast?
Yeah, me neither.
Shadow rider and zacian still exist
@@yurareigiryuI remember when Garchomp outsped nearly everything
Gen 8 was a mistake
I've seen this video go through 3 different thumbnails at this point and they were all good, props to the artist
that ending montage so endearing LMAO i love how excited and shocked wolfe and aaron and the other announcers (im sorry recognize them 😢) are over miraidon, especially the synched, “IT’S DISCHARGE!!” at 26:01
Yes, that ending it's incredible. 26:28 it's so hype
"Players ridicule this legendary Pokemon, then it won a tournament. INSTANTLY REGRET IT"
-dhar-manitan
Ridiculed Mon, Mon bad. Mon Fight Back, win tournament?!
Think about Mon? *Regret*
This comment is so good
“Dhar-Manitan” is such a godly pun
All Darumaka and Darmanitans will now be named Dharmanitan from here on out
loool
As a fan of old Wolfe and new I must say how mind blowing it is to see how much the channel has changed and improved and yet still kept that irreplaceable world champ difference
I just miss the googly eyes...
Shoutouts to Walt's editing making these videos look so unique.
But but... I miss the intro of a real youtubist
And yet the og feeling the videos had is gone, I get why he went that route tho
@@AdminAbuse I think the spirit of the original style has carried over
this vid has gone through three thumbnails in the time I've been delaying to watch this video lol
24:17 Bro just looking directly at the camera knowing full well how disgusting that damage is like "Oops did that hurt?"
100 base power, electric terrain boosted, hadron engine boosted, choice specs, boosted again when super effective, 135 base sp. atk, STAB Tera electric electro drift is just a little bit broken imo…
If you get hit with that, the file your pokemon is in is deleted
Fr
if you're a water type, it's somehow even worse
even the most specially defensive Kyogre with an Assault Vest would fold
@@DRKLCNS1i wonder how underleveled we have to make the miraidon in order for kyogre to survive lol
@@DRKLCNS1 and if you're and water and FLYING type lmao
Nice to see Incineroar appear 22 seconds into a video about a "bad" legendary Pokemon.
(Sprite appears at 8 seconds)
It actually appeared sooner at 2:23
even sooner at 0:29
Technically if we're counting menu icons it only took 9 seconds until the Incineroar jumpscare.
@@itsvairen334 damn
Every Wolfey video has Incineroar
“It’s not very effective, but it’s very effective if you catch my electric drift” is pure bars. Need need her and Frankie from Foster’s Home on more matches
How many times is he gonna change the thumbnail?????
Rillaboom: you can't scratch me, it's grass terrain
Miraidon: Uses Electro Drift
Rillaboom: wait...
"touch grass, stupid monkey"
Funny that no one is using over heat yet when people always use Rillaboom against it.
Frr
@@Chibuga well yeah, that set needs all those moves, Overheat is very one dimensional move, it's not worth the slot of Discharge that allows counterplay to redirection.
@@luigimanzelli3786 the thing is I almost never see them use discharge. It is always volt switch or draco meteor. They can definitely replace discharge. I think it's more important to be able to remove the one Pokémon who is cutting half your damage output then damage across the board that would just get cut off by Rillaboom again. Lol
Wolfey and Aaron commentating together is so hype! What a dynamic duo!
14:05 Absolute W from the editor to put Zinogre's theme on the video
heartwarming! miraidon started from the bottom with busted stats, a good movepool and a strong ability. so proud of how far they've come!
Miraidon being “bad” is one of the biggest oversights ever 😭
Right, lmao
Love the thumbnail of the two Rocket Grunts "riding" the chains around Miraidon; feels like something straight out of early Mako art for Pokemon Special/Adventures, would love to give the artist props - good work deserves props (:
He did give credit to all artists that helped in this video in the description box.
Miraidon is a literal motorbike need i say More.
Also super super thank you!! That means a lot to me!
And now he changed the thumbnail. Such a shame.
@@ZoruaMaster so I think he’s using a new feature where it rotates thumbnails for individual people based off some sort of algorithm
The powered off Iron Hands and Moth is absolutely terrifying. Kudos to the editor for my nightmare fuel tonight LOL
that compilation at the end actually made me tear up, that was beautiful
This tournament was so fun to watch, and Miraidon was a huge part of that
(The other part was having Wolfey as a commentator; you are really a natural on camera, and you brought so much energy and humor that none of the other commentators could match, apart from maybe Aaron when you were with him)
13:27 Perfect how the enemy Miraidon from the game's Story has the best Tera type used for competitive play
The true power of the electric bulb hat
Considering how AI Turo had an advanced AI, I would have totally panicked if it wasn't scripted
"How many times are you going to change the thumbnail?"
World champion: "Yes"
The joy in wolfe's voice as he asks "would you like to see a magic trick?" Has made my day
That ending was phenomenal oh my god. I watched that tournament live and seeing it in montage form got me just as hype as watching it live. Incredible work on the editing
26:34
So we gonna talk about how that was this entire section was just an amv lol
Bro also left a motivational quote in the end 💀
whats the music?
@@justanotherweirdchannel8785 Magnolia Eclair, from Guilty Gear Xrd. Theme song of another prominent lightning user.
22:28 Magnolia Èclair at the end of the video fits perfectly with the electric legendary Pokémon
FIVE!?!? THUMBNAIL CHANGES?
The production and little visual jokes just get better and better with each video 😊
Quickest way to make something improbable happen is to tempt fate and say that something can't happen
And Miraidon was listening
3:17 I audibly screamed "NOOOOOOO" as he said that 😭 I love lugia so much
Where are my fellow ho-oh enjoyers?
It's been more than 2 decades and I still wanna know who gave Lugia 90 Sp. Attk
Ah, a being of culture, I see
casual player here. I lost track of competitive pokemon years ago so I was wondering why I am watching your videos.
Found out it's because you are really good in talking about things and it's pretty nice to listen to your voice and pace.
So yeah, subscribed and thank's for your hard work!
Its still funny to see Miraidon, a futuristic bike dragon thing that uses electricity be somehow slower than a prehistoric ghost and a dog carrying a sword.
nah, the prehistoric ghost is speed tied. Although, the dude on the ghost horse is faster. So, horse > bike confirmed?
Also slower than a horse
guess the bike doesn´t have enough horse power.
Being miraidon one of my fav pokemons in my oddly specific tastes, it's so good to see it regieleking his way trought victory
Artists: "How many thumbnails do you want for the video?"
Wolfe: "Yes."
Btw, not complaining, I'm just making an observation. I know why they do it I just think it's funny.
Legendarian Incineroar😢🐯
Gen 10 mega incin 700 bst with an intimidate that also lowers spatk:
People gotta stop with this joke
If the top comment isn’t (thing) incineroar it’s not a wolfe video
@@Ren-xl1sq dont give them ideas
@@nardclip6317no
15:24 I love hearing the Ziongre theme
Really funny to me that the key for Miraidon winning was to stop building it with strategy in mind, and just build it for raw DPS, with a team to support that. Incredible. No thoughts, only murder.
That was genuinely great motivation at the end, Wolfe. It made me realize that Miraidon's competitive journey is relatable to me, and many other people. This has made my day, so thanks! 👍
What makes Wolfey videos good is not just his informative narrating but aslo the amount of effort put into editing each video
*amount of Incineroars
Everyone: Miraidon is bad
Wolfey: Yeah, Me ride on deez NUTZ
The editing on the videos are def underrated tbh. The swtiches between animation and battles are really well thought out.
The thumbnail has changed at least twice by now, I like them all!
The editing was fire in this one! How do your videos only get better and better?
Absolutely loved your casting this tournament, especially with Aaron! Hearing you two react to Miraidon shenanigans was such a treat
your videos are just so amazing, thank you to wolfe's whole team for all your hard work! also wolfe's (and aaron's) commentary during the regional was SO HYPE, it made all the matches so so fun to watch!!
14:10 - Zinogre theme from Monster Hunter. Very fitting theme and shows Wolfey knows his games!
At this point, I'm just surprised it's not Incinerion
choice band tera fire incineroar in koraidon's sun go brrr
2:37 Lmao kudos to the animators for this one, made me laugh
Swap places and it still applies lmao
Magnolia Èclair was a great song choice for the compilation! Awesome video!
Props for running Magnolia Eclair as the backround music for the highlights of Miraidon exploding everything.
Can we please get like ten hours of pure Wolfe and Aaron screaming at electric bike go brrrrr?
Miraidon electro drifted its way to a championship with its riding buddy, Whimsicott.
I really like what you did with the ending, showing the coverage of Bal’s victory, that was cool
Miraidon was too busy being the best Pokémon in Gen 9 Singles and top 5 in Gen 9 Natdex to contribute to VGC
24:40 you just see the oponent resigning to defeat
That was amazing. That montage at the end was sooooo exciting!
I LOVE these type of videos! Miraidon being my legendary for Violet made this vid an amazing thing to see! You inspire a lot of people to really try to do what they think can work and love learning the from you! 😄
Thunderglock goes crazy at 5:37
Prankster Thundorus with the Electric Terrain move is slept on. It can shut down Rillaboom grass terrain and immediately set up Miraidon again with terrain. You don't have to worry about switching out as much since you will have terrain control and keep offensive pressure.
No it's Whimsicott time. I love when it's Whimsicott time.
Fuck thundurus, bro had its time
I agree with you. Thunderus is overlooked, HARD!
I love this kind of video where an expert in the field just talks at length about something, ty :)
Good vid man. I liked the message at the end and how your content generally lends itself to that idea
There should be a seperate section of the video dedicated to how it matches to incineror
Well given how its a special attacker and incineroar doesnt resist its moves, miraidon shouldnt be too worried. Especially since most incineroars use an item rendered usless by electric terrain.
22:18
Can confirm from being crushed by Aaron Traylor at Indie with Miraidon that yeah this thing is the spawn of poke-satan.
That edit of Miraidon storming through a tournament was super hype! Very well-done 💕
That montage at the end was so hype, I'm not even that big of a fan of Miraidon and the clips it was able to make got me rooting for it all the way.
incineroar sighting at 0:08 (menu), 0:29, 2:25, 2:56, 3:34, 5:09, 7:20, 10:29, 11:49, 13:12, 13:36, 15:53, 17:38, 24:26
incineroar mention at 14:35, 18:20 (entire section), 22:20
some timestamps are not included as some vgc footage is reused
you missed at 9 seconds top of the screen
0:00 in my ass too
I’ll take a 7:20 and a 13:36 with some 18:20 on the side please!!
Incineroar watching has gone beyond just a joke, you've made it your profession.
Incineroar has never paid rent to Wolfe. Not once.
Maridon really woke up an chose violence 💀💀
The whole end section of live commentary is amazing, Aaron and Wolfie such a good commentator combo!
This is prob my favorite video on the channel.... I love the team building specifics and the choices that are made when preparing for a tournament, even more than the actual gameplay
Miraidon had a redemption arc that rivals Zuko’s
Miraidon is one of the coolest legendaries
I really liked the editing on this video, big props to them!
Okay, that one is the best thumbnail of them all. Anyone asking why it's changing, it's cause it's likely using an automated system trying out which thumbnail gets the most clicks. It's unfortunate it needs to happen, but dude's gotta do what he can to get views, sponsors help but dude's gotta eat and this is his job.
Knowing how much of a menace Miraidon is in singles, finding out it sucks in doubles is such a shocker
Not funny
It doesn't though. People thought it did and it was doing badly in the very first tournaments but it is one of the strongest in VGC competitions since.
It seems like the big 3 are the Calyrex riders and Miraidon, with Terapagos as a pretty close 4th and Zamazenta winning a regional too.
Koraidon and Kyogre still seem to top cut fairly often but they're kinda on the periphery and that's really about it, aside from a few decent Zacian teams and a random Groudon every now and again.
seems like they overthought and tried to cover its weaknesses.
When all you need to do is to put on some specs and do over 50% damage to a pokemon that double-resists electric.
When you didn't watch the video
I feel like something this busted have a good check in the meta doesn't make it a fraud
Miraidon: UNLIMITED POWER!
Now I want to see a video about how Zamazenta is currently better than Zacian when it wasn’t the case last generation.
Thumbnails are always amazing no matter how much you change it
PLEASE present more of the VGC tournaments! was so much fun when you and Aaron were commentating!
It's funny to think that they saw that the power wasn't up to snuff, so instead of trying to make it more versatile, they just double down on the damage to turn the nuke into the death star
Why was that ending so beautiful though
Wasn't it? I had to rewatch it a few times, it was so great.
This video was really really good! The montage at the end was really well edited and it added that extra bit of action to the video
Using Magnolia Eclair with that damage montage was perfect, great vid!
I swear the thumbnail changes every day
Noo what happened to the cool thumbnail where miraidon breaks free of his chains :(
Even though I never see the subtitles, seeing you put the effort to translate the vids really makes me happy
That montage at the end was chef's kisses
Well done, Wolfey
Love the guilty gear ost for the miraidon sweep montage! ❤
Saturday's are for the boys, and Wolfe Pokémon videos
I love this. Miraidon was my favorite of the Biklizards but I felt like it got so overshadowed by Koraidon. This is awesome to see a good way to use it.
Hey, Wolfe. Just wanna say that I really love your content and the editing you do. I just love watching either your tournament battles or information about a Pokémon’s history in doubles competitive. Watching your stuff has made me enjoy doubles a lot more and play it a lot more on stuff like Pokémon Showdown. Keep up the World Champ Content 👍
How many times did he change thumbnails?
