Yeah there's a very good reason I didn't buy gen 9. I finally hit that wall every adult does where things just don't feel the same anymore. I'll be playing fan made games of older generations if anyone needs me.

@@thelittleghost3784 That's an interesting way to look at it, I just assumed that the loyal three are so weak because Gamefreak was scared off toxic chain being too strong despite all the other overpowered stuff present in the generation (though honestly that's giving them too much credit they wouldn't have thought of trying to balance something)
You would judge people for not using it because it’s other ability is Pressure. Your other ability could be Insomnia and I would judge you for not running it.
i dont wanna be the hate commenter he was constantly joking about but idk why it's below. *virizion* (or any pokemon on this list lol) it has been legal for 1 worlds and it's top cut... it's niche but it still. Has a niche. and it's good at that niche. really not sure why it was included here lol
@@malikhittam1440 Mostly because there're so many counters to intimidate now, that having the same effect as intimidate but without being affected by said counters is actually useful, I'd think.
22:16 the swords of justice all have the same stat numbers in different places, so two of them were always destined to fail and virizion and cobalion just got the short end of the stick
Terrakion is very strong, powerful STAB combo, very good stat spread for offensive Pokemon, various strategies, both coverage and boost, can benefit sandstorm. Keldeo is overrated, and bothers me it got a totally useless ability, also has a poor special movepool despite being a special attacker, and good physical coverage but stat spread not so adapted for a mixed set; needs some adjust.
I just finished a Rock type run in White 2. Caught Terrakion but had no use for it. I beat Iris with the team of: Aero the Aerodactyl Mangus the Aggron LordHelix the Omastar George the Golem Titiania the Tyranitar Lily the Cradily Didn't need Regirock and Terrakion as most of my type runs involved the no Legendary pokemon rule for a fun challenge:)
@@unknownartist689 The "flaws" you listed aren't really anything holding keldeo back. Sure its ability is useless, but it doesn't really need it. What makes Keldeo good is its power along with its fantastic type defensively and offensively. Its special movepool isn't all that bad as it can use hidden power to patch up the few gaps its stabs leave, in addition to having Hydro Pump for raw power, Scald with it's 30% burn chance and Secret Sword to cut through special walls and water resists alike.
Munkidori might not be the best competitive Pokemon, but "what if Momotaro was a giant evil peach that gained his animal friends by feeding them his mind-controlling toxic flesh, which by the way also works on people and forces them to do the worksafe equivalent of haigure, a fetish pose from the 90s" is such an utterly wild concept that I can't help but respect it. Imagine if we had a Pokemon based on the Little Red Hood, except she's an apple that force feeds people pies made out of her flesh to control them, her minions are a wolf, a grandma, and a lumberjack with toxic chains sticking out of them, and if a human eats her toxic pies, they start twerking uncontrollably. That's what Pecharunt is.
I wonder if the reason the Swords of Justice have such low offenses has to do with balancing around Justified. Back in Black/White, there wasn’t really an ability like Justified, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Game Freak intended it to be used all the time - you’re supposed to switch them into a Dark type whenever you possibly could, and your enraged musket-deer could start with effectively 135 base Atk rather than 90.
If you have goldengo 106 base speed it would be way too strong Basically monkey has good speed, it’s just not good enough for that it wants to be 106 is too much however for what golden joe is

Hi, long-time vgc player here. I played Virizion in my vgc15 team and got Top16 twice at Nationals (Milan and Stuttgart), and could've potentially gone further in Stuttgart (see the Matteo Gini controversy back then). I saw this video and wanted to point out some aspects in Virizion's defense, because I think it was MASSIVELY underrated back then. Some context: back in vgc15, the team comp "chalk" became more and more popular, with its peak at the world championships. This team conists of mega-kangaskhan (which often ran fake out), heatran, amoonguss, cresselia, landorus and a 6th open slot (like thundurus, zapdos, and more). Keep in mind that specifically Mega-Kangaskhan was overpowered and busted since it still had the x1.5 multiplier on the second hit. This is also why Virizion was so good against chalk teams. Here some things (I ran LO Virizion with Quick Guard/Leaf Blade/Close Combat/Detect): - it is faster than Mega-Kangaskhan and can hit it hard with CC and LO (most of the times u get a clean KO), and also can help your mates with quick guard since FO and quick guard have the same priority, but virizion outspeeds Kang - it also hit good against other members of the CHALK core, like heatran or Lando - it can most of the time live 2 hits from opposing Heatrans due to its special bulk. Also Cresselia's Psychic most of the time didn't even 3HKO - Virizion's Attacks can't be redirected by Amoonguss since it's a Grass type - it fit well into my team, concluding a FWG-Core (with Entei and Milo respectively) All in all, it fit a very good niche in my team back then and I think most of the players that competed back then didn't really know what to do against it. The closed team sheet format also helped a lot as I caught multiple opponents off guard with a good quick guard or a surprise KO on the Kangaskhan. Love your vids ok bye
Hey Wolfey, just wanted to let you know that I've watched hours of your content, have never played a pokemon game, and don't even understand type effectiveness and weaknesses. All I've learnt from your videos is: Hm yes, world champ difference.
Yeah, its me. Never played the game. But i love reading the wiki, watching wolvey, reading stunfisk subreddit, playing pokedoku, and only getting started watching the anime. Pokemon is awesome
It was a genuine meta threat at a specific point, just like articuno Also, I’ve heard about some people using it even without weezing as a support Pokémon, as, not counting restricted Pokémon, it’s one of the bulkiest wide guard users, which is really good right now
The ability Pressure technically halves the number of times your opponent can attack before it gets stuck with Struggle. I don't play competitive, but I can see how it could be used to be, at the very least, annoying for someone who has mostly moves with low PP like Electo Drift. Yes, those moves are strong, but you can only use them a few times.
Here's my short and long answers (I'm not exactly good at competitive, but I've tried it a bit over the last year). The short version is that official games normally take too few turns for pp stalling to be a working strategy. The long version: In singles there's a lot mote stalling, so I'm not sure how good it is there, but in official competitive Pokémon (doubles where you only bring four Mons per battle), a game that lasts 8 turns is considered a long game. And while there are quite a few 8pp moves, especially on newer legendaries, offensive Pokémon run at least two damaging moves (and supporting moves have a lot or pp). The only realistic use of Pressure is if the offensive Pokémon is Choice-locked (Choice Band, Scarf and Specs only allow you to use the first move you select until you switch out in exchange for damage or speed boosts) into one of these 8pp moves. But take Miraidon for example, because it is the premier Choice Specs user with a 8pp move. And I'm not considering Moltres specifically because with all the damage multipliers Miraidon gets, a Specs Electro Drift would probably make Moltres go extint. Anyway, even a Pokémon which is neutral to Electro Drift can't take more than two, maybe three hits from Miraidon if it decides to lock in the move, which is a valid if considering Miraidon usually runs Discharge for spread damage and Draco Meteor to kill dragons who resist Electric. So trying to Pressure down Specs Miraidon into Struggle before it KOs your entire team (or just the Pressure Pokémon) is not a good strategy. And while you can argue that Miraidon is a bit overkill because the thing is obviously overpowered, nearly every Mon who wants to use a choice item doesn't have a good enough 8pp move, and nearly every Mon who uses an 8pp move in their most popular set can switch moves if needed so they're gonna be slightly inconvenienced at most, specially because they usually can kill nearly anything that doesn't resist their attacks in two or three hits anyway, and in the few cases where a Pokémon fits both criteria, they would probably kill you before you get much value off Pressure. Sorry for the long comment, and hope it makes a bit of sense.
Doubles is generally too fast paced for it to matter, assuming no one forgot to use PP Ups on their team the lowest PP count on a move is going to be 8, which is generally enough to last the whole match, pressure halves it to only 4 uses which could come up on occasion, but that is assuming the Pressure user manages to live that long, which given 8 PP moves are usually extremely powerful is unlikely. In single battles the ability sees a lot more uses as battles are significantly slower and more defensive, its still not a great ability, and the C-list legendaries that are stuck with it would still rather have something else, but its better than nothing.
106 speed is bad in Gen IX My first thought was "Oh, no my boy Kartana has 107 speed", then I remembered he had 181 attack, fantastic typing, actual coverage moves, and defense.
Zamazenta does this much better. It was always slept on because of zacian being better in almost every aspect, but got nerfed at the same time zacian did in SV. Now zamazenta is currently doing better than any legendary currently( because the formula changes constantly). Not to mention it has dauntless shield and the same typing. Zamazenta has been a surprising Pokemon with a great comeback, and it just does everything cobalion could do, just better.
Yeah except Cobalion isn’t a restricted mon and Zamazenta is very frequently not allowed. The argument that Cobalion is outclassed doesn’t really work in this case.
That's a good point, but what about the other four move slots? Support? What can Cobalion even do in that regard? Quick Guard has the same priority level as Fake Out, so it won't block the ones from foes faster than Cobalion, and gets broken by Urshifu's Aqua Jet due to Unseen Fist. It won't block such overpowered priority moves as Follow Me or Rage Powder either, since it only blocks moves targeting the user's side. And that's outside of just being generally less useful than Wide Guard. Helping Hand? Taunt? Those are hardly unique. Coaching? Best I can think of is Coaching. Maaaybe Roar in metas with setup sweepers?
@@ewormXD ok, you actually did more research than I did. I briefly caught Wolfe using Zamazenta a few weeks ago in a tournament (I was at work and on break), but I did memorize some of what he was doing. He ran zamazenta as Tera grass with two moves being body press and iron defense. I think he was also running protect but I can’t remember the fourth move. I do know on his Insta he stated zamazenta is currently the highest performing legendary right now. The match I saw had his opponent running two threats to it, being tornadus and kyogre. I wish I could be more helpful with this, but I’ve only begun my research. I do know zamazenta has decent speed and great bulk. If you find any better options as opposed to zamazenta or better ways to run it, I’m definitely curious.
"I''m gonna call it Oo'xie" Proceeds to immediately call it "You'xie" in the next sentence Engagement farming successful :) *edit* even hit us with a one off "Uh'xie", Wolfey really doing his best :D
@justsomemustachewithoutaguy- Sometimes things are funny BECAUSE you take them out of context :3 Like someone saying "It's best when they go in hard through the backdoor" referring to an FPS game team breaching a house, but that's not how we picture it xD
I didn't remember that either. Easily the worst legendary trio/quartet in the game. The best are the Genies (the Weather Trio don't count) followed by either the Guardians of Alola or the Treasures of Ruin.
@@moonjelly5 For a second i thought you said the Guardians and Treasures were among the worst. I was like "man those are probably the most unique side legendaries added" my bad lol. I'd still put them above the genies if only because MOST genies want their therian form and that kinda takes away from their own individual unqueness. They were kinda retconned.
@@naamadossantossilva4736 yeah, their designs don't even say (let alone scream) "legendaries" they really do feel like a run of the mill pokemon with no evolution
@@therranolleo468 Their mythological basis is really cool and a fun subversion, but yeah, they're not super impressive looking. I still like them; they are literally enshrined in legends but subvert the title by being bumbling goons to a hidden mastermind which I think is a really unique idea
Listen Those international championships are not a joke anyone could get their ass whooped in competitions as stacked as that. Watching the video looks worst because I just finished watching an 8 hour stream of the Italian regional. so if I was Wolfie I rather play those games than watch them that sounds like a lot of content to watch. Some people can watch 11 hour videos everyday but I cannot. The problem with internationals is that you need a lot of mental stamina to make it very far in a game where many pro trainers have nerves of steel plus there are probely hundreds of these trainers gathered in one room the final reason is that people are always preparing for him either because they want to be the trainer to beat him for the upset or just because in every tournament he is a part of he’s a threat so that means that people are hyper focused on him and whether Pokémon team he brings there will be one person that brings a team specifically to counter his and that is why people like Wolfie can lose in a place like that.
Honest question: why is Cobalion ranked so much worse than Virizion? It very recently gained access to body press, which means it can use its high defense stat to attack instead of its low actual attacking stats. Its typing gives the move stab, and it also gets iron defense, which both make the move even stronger. Yes, this is literally the exact same thing that Zamazenta does but worse, except Zamazenta is a restricted legendary while Cobalion isn't. Surely that would make it good in future non-restricted formats? It even gets access to its item slot; Zamazenta is forced to hold the rusted shield if you want to use its crowned form. I'm going to assume that Wolfey simply didn't know about it getting body press (given that he didn't mention it in the video), because there's no way that Cobalion would be worse than Virizion, hell there's no way it'd even be on this list, if he did.
@@Borgdrohne13fun fact!!! Chandelure has more special attack than all gen nine Pokemon. And. Ties with vicavolt and cursola for the strongest special attack of all non mega ultra beast or legendary/ mythical
I feel like Cobalion has a lot more competition than Verizion does. Look at Corviknight for instance, trading speed for tailwind access, stab body press for stab brave bird, some defense for some special defense which works out well anyway if running bulk up. It's a real stretch but I can imagine a team where Verizion would actually be the best choice but I don't think Cobalion ever would be.
Talking about pronunciation of names and then proceeding to pronounce Uxie’s name differently every time you said it was a really good bit that I feel like a lot of people in the comments didn’t notice haha.
@@HaroldingleI mean if we're being serious, it's a just matter of 2-3 generations of powercreep for Clef to lose its place since it's stats are worse and worse every gen due to new minmax mons, the breaking point will probably be when they introduce another magic guarder
Yes! But... this would be theoretical, because we hardly have competitive statistics to rank them according. Hence, extra polemical when he mentions your precious one there
Trying to translate Japanese sounds is a nightmare sometimes. Most times you want to see if it is Yu or U. If it is Yu like Yuki than the Yu is a "You" sound. If it is a U like Umi then it is an "oo" sound. But there is a LOT of overlap.
From what I been told; If pair up with Neutralizing Gas Weezing then it does slightly better. Regardless, I think the only reason it didn't make the list is because the others are more worse.
The Galar forms got Signature moves: Freezing Glare, Thunderous Kick, and Feiry Wrath. It also took a remake for freaking Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza to get signature moves.
The Kanto birds getting spread moves that also set weather would be super interesting and thematic paired with their lore as harbingers of the seasons.
@@teo43Not because it's in that category per se but because mons in that category tend to be stronger on average. Otherwise Wolfe would've ruled out the entire list at 0:53, not just the Cosmo- pre-evolutions on it.
Yeah but it can actually be good if you do. It was a major threat in sword and shield, much more of a threat than stuff like articuno or fezendipiti ever were.
They probably did that to the weird horse trio because it gives you them halfway through the game. They weren’t thinking competitively at the time, they were thinking about enjoyment and balancing solely in game.
Munkidori may be useless in open team sheet VGC, but I actually used it quite a bit on the in-game ladder because of closed team sheets. Frisk + Fake Out was very valuable to me to not waste my Fake Out on something with Covert Cloak.
I use Moltres as my egg hatcher in SV just because it's one of the only Pokémon that has Flame Body that cannot breed, making it possible to keep in picnics
I feel like if you swapped types between chi yu and wo chien that could be something. grass/dark chi Yu would def be worse than fire/dark, but it would be usable, and fire/dark wo chien could be incineroar at home
What is it with legendary trios and just being generally useless for the most part and having roles that are filled better by other mons? The Lake Trio AND the Swords of Justice both having 2/3 of their mons on the list is WILD
The swords were fine, maybe slightly underpowered but I think that's fine, releasing four mono psychic type legendaries with levitate in the same generation is not xd
@@awqweird The lake trio represents the Mind, Feelings and Knowledge, it makes a lot of sense for them to be mono psychic I think Cresselia could be Fairy type, with their moon theme
I’ve spent the past couple days sick watching junk on yt and coming back to Wolfe made me realize just how high quality these videos are. Ty wolfe and his team for the work they put in!
had some good fun with Munkidori during one of the online competitions not long after Teal Mask came out, some folks were using Tera Steel Kommo-o with Simple Beam used on it, holding Throat Spray and using Clangorous Soul: +4 SpA, +2 everything else.. and my Munkidori had a Mirror Herb, and Stored Power
Lugia has always been my favorite Pokemon, and after hearing how it fell off because of Calyrex, said massive brain tiny everything else King Arthur wannabe quickly became my second least favorite Pokemon, only behind Dewpider.
Double battles with regice and some other pokemon that has an ability to increase stats when it faints a pokemon. Now regice can boost your team and be helpful
Couldn’t we give moltres a Phoenix type skill such as an ability that resurrects it upon being knocked out once per battle at 30% or 50%? That would at least solve the survival issue
Me at 0:30 - What kind of psycho would get mad about their pet legendary making this list? Me at 1:30 - Pump your breaks, kid. 😡 That bird's a childhood treasure.

What makes Keldeo good is its power along with its fantastic type defensively and offensively. Its special movepool isn't all that bad as it can use hidden power to patch up the few gaps its stabs leave, in addition to having Hydro Pump for raw power, Scald with it's 30% burn chance and Secret Sword to cut through special walls and water resists alike.
Munkidori might not be the best competitive Pokemon, but "what if Momotaro was a giant evil peach that gained his animal friends by feeding them his mind-controlling toxic flesh, which by the way also works on people and forces them to do the worksafe equivalent of haigure, a fetish pose from the 90s" is such an utterly wild concept that I can't help but respect it.
Imagine if we had a Pokemon based on the Little Red Hood, except she's an apple that force feeds people pies made out of her flesh to control them, her minions are a wolf, a grandma, and a lumberjack with toxic chains sticking out of them, and if a human eats her toxic pies, they start twerking uncontrollably. That's what Pecharunt is.

I wonder if the reason the Swords of Justice have such low offenses has to do with balancing around Justified. Back in Black/White, there wasn’t really an ability like Justified, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Game Freak intended it to be used all the time - you’re supposed to switch them into a Dark type whenever you possibly could, and your enraged musket-deer could start with effectively 135 base Atk rather than 90.

Hi, long-time vgc player here. I played Virizion in my vgc15 team and got Top16 twice at Nationals (Milan and Stuttgart), and could've potentially gone further in Stuttgart (see the Matteo Gini controversy back then). I saw this video and wanted to point out some aspects in Virizion's defense, because I think it was MASSIVELY underrated back then. Some context: back in vgc15, the team comp "chalk" became more and more popular, with its peak at the world championships. This team conists of mega-kangaskhan (which often ran fake out), heatran, amoonguss, cresselia, landorus and a 6th open slot (like thundurus, zapdos, and more). Keep in mind that specifically Mega-Kangaskhan was overpowered and busted since it still had the x1.5 multiplier on the second hit. This is also why Virizion was so good against chalk teams. Here some things (I ran LO Virizion with Quick Guard/Leaf Blade/Close Combat/Detect):
- it is faster than Mega-Kangaskhan and can hit it hard with CC and LO (most of the times u get a clean KO), and also can help your mates with quick guard since FO and quick guard have the same priority, but virizion outspeeds Kang
- it also hit good against other members of the CHALK core, like heatran or Lando
- it can most of the time live 2 hits from opposing Heatrans due to its special bulk. Also Cresselia's Psychic most of the time didn't even 3HKO
- Virizion's Attacks can't be redirected by Amoonguss since it's a Grass type
- it fit well into my team, concluding a FWG-Core (with Entei and Milo respectively)
All in all, it fit a very good niche in my team back then and I think most of the players that competed back then didn't really know what to do against it. The closed team sheet format also helped a lot as I caught multiple opponents off guard with a good quick guard or a surprise KO on the Kangaskhan.
Love your vids ok bye
Virizion was amazing when it was released in Gen5, but today yeah its powercreeped just like the rest

Hey Wolfey, just wanted to let you know that I've watched hours of your content, have never played a pokemon game, and don't even understand type effectiveness and weaknesses.
All I've learnt from your videos is:
Hm yes, world champ difference.
All you need to know >:3
Oh no, it's HIM!
Why does that description sound so familiar? Oh maybe it's because that's literally my situation
Yeah, its me. Never played the game. But i love reading the wiki, watching wolvey, reading stunfisk subreddit, playing pokedoku, and only getting started watching the anime. Pokemon is awesome
You should also learn that Incineroar is a blight upon this land.

I was half expecting Regigigas, but I guess Neutralizing Gas is a bigger factor to this ranking list than it is to me.
I think that's a mythical?
EDIT: no, wait, nvm, it is a Legendary. Well, then I don't know how it didn't even make honourable mentions.
Maybe because it was at least good for a period of time, or maybe it just felt too unfair because of its ability
It was a genuine meta threat at a specific point, just like articuno
Also, I’ve heard about some people using it even without weezing as a support Pokémon, as, not counting restricted Pokémon, it’s one of the bulkiest wide guard users, which is really good right now
Honestly, I thought Lugia would be on here. Well.. mainly because of the thumbnail
@@joshuahong8255 Regigigas would be goofy on a trick room team but I don't know how you would pull it off
The ability Pressure technically halves the number of times your opponent can attack before it gets stuck with Struggle. I don't play competitive, but I can see how it could be used to be, at the very least, annoying for someone who has mostly moves with low PP like Electo Drift. Yes, those moves are strong, but you can only use them a few times.
Here's my short and long answers (I'm not exactly good at competitive, but I've tried it a bit over the last year). The short version is that official games normally take too few turns for pp stalling to be a working strategy.
The long version: In singles there's a lot mote stalling, so I'm not sure how good it is there, but in official competitive Pokémon (doubles where you only bring four Mons per battle), a game that lasts 8 turns is considered a long game. And while there are quite a few 8pp moves, especially on newer legendaries, offensive Pokémon run at least two damaging moves (and supporting moves have a lot or pp). The only realistic use of Pressure is if the offensive Pokémon is Choice-locked (Choice Band, Scarf and Specs only allow you to use the first move you select until you switch out in exchange for damage or speed boosts) into one of these 8pp moves. But take Miraidon for example, because it is the premier Choice Specs user with a 8pp move. And I'm not considering Moltres specifically because with all the damage multipliers Miraidon gets, a Specs Electro Drift would probably make Moltres go extint. Anyway, even a Pokémon which is neutral to Electro Drift can't take more than two, maybe three hits from Miraidon if it decides to lock in the move, which is a valid if considering Miraidon usually runs Discharge for spread damage and Draco Meteor to kill dragons who resist Electric. So trying to Pressure down Specs Miraidon into Struggle before it KOs your entire team (or just the Pressure Pokémon) is not a good strategy. And while you can argue that Miraidon is a bit overkill because the thing is obviously overpowered, nearly every Mon who wants to use a choice item doesn't have a good enough 8pp move, and nearly every Mon who uses an 8pp move in their most popular set can switch moves if needed so they're gonna be slightly inconvenienced at most, specially because they usually can kill nearly anything that doesn't resist their attacks in two or three hits anyway, and in the few cases where a Pokémon fits both criteria, they would probably kill you before you get much value off Pressure. Sorry for the long comment, and hope it makes a bit of sense.
Doubles is generally too fast paced for it to matter, assuming no one forgot to use PP Ups on their team the lowest PP count on a move is going to be 8, which is generally enough to last the whole match, pressure halves it to only 4 uses which could come up on occasion, but that is assuming the Pressure user manages to live that long, which given 8 PP moves are usually extremely powerful is unlikely.
In single battles the ability sees a lot more uses as battles are significantly slower and more defensive, its still not a great ability, and the C-list legendaries that are stuck with it would still rather have something else, but its better than nothing.
"It can't do anything to fire back- ice back?" is maybe the best line I've ever hear you write

Wolfie: "Cobalion's attack stats are abysmal!"
Cobalion's Defense of 129: *Laughs in Body Press*
I remembered EXACTLY THIS when he said this.
Zamazenta does this much better. It was always slept on because of zacian being better in almost every aspect, but got nerfed at the same time zacian did in SV. Now zamazenta is currently doing better than any legendary currently( because the formula changes constantly). Not to mention it has dauntless shield and the same typing. Zamazenta has been a surprising Pokemon with a great comeback, and it just does everything cobalion could do, just better.
Yeah except Cobalion isn’t a restricted mon and Zamazenta is very frequently not allowed. The argument that Cobalion is outclassed doesn’t really work in this case.
That's a good point, but what about the other four move slots? Support? What can Cobalion even do in that regard?
Quick Guard has the same priority level as Fake Out, so it won't block the ones from foes faster than Cobalion, and gets broken by Urshifu's Aqua Jet due to Unseen Fist. It won't block such overpowered priority moves as Follow Me or Rage Powder either, since it only blocks moves targeting the user's side. And that's outside of just being generally less useful than Wide Guard.
Helping Hand? Taunt? Those are hardly unique.
Coaching? Best I can think of is Coaching. Maaaybe Roar in metas with setup sweepers?
@@ewormXD ok, you actually did more research than I did. I briefly caught Wolfe using Zamazenta a few weeks ago in a tournament (I was at work and on break), but I did memorize some of what he was doing. He ran zamazenta as Tera grass with two moves being body press and iron defense. I think he was also running protect but I can’t remember the fourth move. I do know on his Insta he stated zamazenta is currently the highest performing legendary right now. The match I saw had his opponent running two threats to it, being tornadus and kyogre. I wish I could be more helpful with this, but I’ve only begun my research. I do know zamazenta has decent speed and great bulk. If you find any better options as opposed to zamazenta or better ways to run it, I’m definitely curious.

@@moonjelly5 For a second i thought you said the Guardians and Treasures were among the worst. I was like "man those are probably the most unique side legendaries added" my bad lol.

Community: happy 😊
Listen Those international championships are not a joke anyone could get their ass whooped in competitions as stacked as that. Watching the video looks worst because I just finished watching an 8 hour stream of the Italian regional. so if I was Wolfie I rather play those games than watch them that sounds like a lot of content to watch. Some people can watch 11 hour videos everyday but I cannot. The problem with internationals is that you need a lot of mental stamina to make it very far in a game where many pro trainers have nerves of steel plus there are probely hundreds of these trainers gathered in one room the final reason is that people are always preparing for him either because they want to be the trainer to beat him for the upset or just because in every tournament he is a part of he’s a threat so that means that people are hyper focused on him and whether Pokémon team he brings there will be one person that brings a team specifically to counter his and that is why people like Wolfie can lose in a place like that.

Funny fact that at the exact same time Wolfey posted this video there was a guy wooping Calyrex asses with Wo Chien + Kyogre at the NAIC
Honest question: why is Cobalion ranked so much worse than Virizion?
It very recently gained access to body press, which means it can use its high defense stat to attack instead of its low actual attacking stats. Its typing gives the move stab, and it also gets iron defense, which both make the move even stronger.
Yes, this is literally the exact same thing that Zamazenta does but worse, except Zamazenta is a restricted legendary while Cobalion isn't. Surely that would make it good in future non-restricted formats? It even gets access to its item slot; Zamazenta is forced to hold the rusted shield if you want to use its crowned form.
I'm going to assume that Wolfey simply didn't know about it getting body press (given that he didn't mention it in the video), because there's no way that Cobalion would be worse than Virizion, hell there's no way it'd even be on this list, if he did.
maybe this video was recorded before Nintendo/GF changed it.
Came here to say this. Agreed. Iron defence + body press makes Cobalion > Virizion
Virizion has results, Cobalion doesn’t, simple as that. Also Registeel exists for IP BP, no stab but 78 more spdef and 21 more def.
@@Borgdrohne13fun fact!!! Chandelure has more special attack than all gen nine Pokemon. And. Ties with vicavolt and cursola for the strongest special attack of all non mega ultra beast or legendary/ mythical
I feel like Cobalion has a lot more competition than Verizion does. Look at Corviknight for instance, trading speed for tailwind access, stab body press for stab brave bird, some defense for some special defense which works out well anyway if running bulk up. It's a real stretch but I can imagine a team where Verizion would actually be the best choice but I don't think Cobalion ever would be.

Yeah... Pokémon really needs to do something about the Speed Stat. It is too "all or nothing".
@@Redpoppy80 Well in Gen 1 it increased critical hit chance, so it benefited you even if you went second.
"It's that, whatever it's job is...no one wants to do it because it sucks." I'll never give up on finding a use for my son
Double battles with regice and some other pokemon that has an ability to increase stats when it faints a pokemon. Now regice can boost your team and be helpful
Couldn’t we give moltres a Phoenix type skill such as an ability that resurrects it upon being knocked out once per battle at 30% or 50%? That would at least solve the survival issue
Me at 0:30 - What kind of psycho would get mad about their pet legendary making this list?
Me at 1:30 - Pump your breaks, kid. 😡 That bird's a childhood treasure.
Whoever edited the music for the video is awesome, some LLB, JSR/JSRF, BRC, and Naganuma. It’s great
Commenting to say I loved hearing the Jet Set Radio background music. Great choice.
Another FANTASTIC video from Wolfey Glick by mentioning Pincurchin! Keep up the good work.
