@@xaisxdyes, but only a couple of Pokemon get it, and they're designed to be hard to use so that it's hard to get Spores off on your opponents Pokemon.
19:37 The answer may surprise you! IMO, the 2nd most nerfed Pokémon of all time is Aerodactyl Aerodactyl, for some reason, had EVERY. SINGLE. NICHE. it had ripped away from it going into SwSh. Sky Drop & Megas? Removed from the game Hone Claws & some of its setup/offensive coverage? No longer learns Wide Guard & Roar? Not great in a Dynamax format Having the unique combination of Unnerve, Taunt & Tailwind? Sorry, Corviknight gets all those now & it’s a better max target (plus Calyrex was so prominent it made berries mostly unusable) Fast offensive support? Sorry, Dragapult is faster, fake out immune & it’s a better max target. Rock Slide flinches weren’t as big due to Dynamax, it wasn’t a good max target itself, AND it was introduced in the same DLC as Calyrex & Regieleki. I’m not sure there’s a Pokémon that ever caught so many strays in its life.
Even outside of nerfs, it's been robbed in so many other ways. Rock Head ability, but no Head Smash or Brave Bird ever, so DoubleEdge is the only thing it could ever use for that ability. Whereas Hisuian Arcanine, Steelix, Sudowoodo, Aggron, Relicanth, Tyrantrum all had access to Head Smash + Rock Head. I can get "no brave bird because it's not a bird", but Head Smash isn't excusable. Likewise, GameFreak refuses to make alternate Flying type physical moves, so outside of Fly, the next best physical flying type move added after 5 generations of Brave Bird has been... Dual Wingbeat. Yay. Even the Mega's ability Tough Claws is colossal stupidity. Its most common coverage moves it loved to carry was Stone Edge + Earthquake, and neither are contact moves, so neither are affected by Tough Claws. So what can you tough claws boost now? DoubleEdge now with recoil? Iron Tail? Aqua Tail? Fly? Crunch? In reality the most common choices were Ice Fang and Pursuit... It could've become like a Rock/Dragon type with Levitate (or No Guard like Mega Pidgeot, a fully accurate Dragon Rush and Stone Edge and Iron Tail would be nice) since it famously has never really been able to utilize its Flying type STAB effectively anyways and that would've been way better. Lance always carried it in his team despite it not being an actual Dragon, and Charizard got Mega X, dropping the flying type. You're also missing the one biggest nerf, Team Preview. Prior to team preview, there was the huge metagame around fast leads that set up hazards and carried taunt or exploded to deny the enemy their hazards. Aerodactyl was fast, hard hitting, and set up stealth rocks and taunted against other dedicated leads. After team preview, it no longer worked since they'd easily see what's coming and send something that could beat Aerodactyl first.
Wolfey almost pronouncing Unfezant correctly a couple of times but catching himself each time. Appreciate all the nods to older stuff for long-time Wolfey-enjoyers such as myself. ^_^ On the other hand, hate for number 5 will never be forgiven. Fie!
I am convinced that when Game Freak came up with the concept of terastalization someone in the office immediately put up a poster that said "NO TERA FAIRY XERNEAS" in giant red letters
8:01 "And also please dont unsubscribe if i talked about your favorite pokemon here..." Yeah yeah yeah, like there is any chance you will talk about mine, lol Literally 12 seconds later:
Smart on his behalf,Incineroar has been meta for years now and has no sign of his reign coming to an end,if you’re going to be working with someone for that long it’d be a good idea to be friends with them,you get farther that way
The funniest thing about Lycanroc dusk being so bad is that both forms have a signature move. Lycanroc day gets the brand new Accelerock that only it can learn, and Lycanroc dusk gets… Counter I shuckle you not, Counter.
Like literally. Whether you like him or not, he’s there and he’s gonna mess everything up. Litten’s design? Check. Competitive? Check. Smash?? Check. Incineroar does not care.
Xerneas with Tera-Ground Terablast would literally be the most unstoppable force. Pair it with either a Fake Out user or a Follow Me user on turn one, set up Geomancy, and you’re pretty much good to go.
Kommo-o Is a pokémon that had it not been for fairies existing, it would have been one of the coolest typings you've ever seen. It feels like it should have been released in Gen 5 as the opposite to Hydreigon or something.
I think they really messed up the Fairy type tbh. If its purpose was to rebalance the game by introducing more counterplay to Dragon they should have been a lot more careful not to make it the new OP type - otherwise you're not fixing a problem, you're just changing what's on top. Most type matchups make sense but Fairy hitting Fighting for super effective damage is still one I don't understand, both from an elemental standpoint (there doesn't seem to be any thematic relationship, e.g. like Fire/Grass) and also from a game mechanic standpoint (Fighting didn't seem like a type that needed to be nerfed with another weakness, especially when Electric still manages to have only one weakness).
@nonadqs I guess it depends what you associate fairies with. If it's a Disney-fied version, then yeah, I guess fairies are good, but personally I think of it more like the original concept of Fae, chaotic but not necessarily good or evil. Whimsicott is a great example, a cheeky little garden fairy with Prankster. Fighting isn't necessarily bad either, and Fairy is already super-effective against Dark.
@@hoodie3810 Well if your taking about magic. Physical power is kind obsolete when you have magic. Because it’s better to be in range than contact because it leaves you less vulnerable to other attacks. This could also be a reason as to why psychic is good against fighting due to psychic power also being considered ranged.
wolfey's pronunciation takes me out every time 🤣 like "oon-fuh-sawnt" is so funny to me because i've never seen unfeasant's name as anything but a pun for the word unpleasant
Small correction: Manectric IS a wolf. It's based on the Raijū, a japanese thunder wolf god. It's english name also comes from the Maned Wolf. Edit: Appearently Maned Wolves aren't wolves... But not dogs either. So eh.
Raijuu isn’t a a thunder wolf god, it’s closer to a youkai since it was an explanation on a natural phenomena (thunderstorms). Raijin is the thunder god in Japanese mythology. A youkai being in close relation to a god happens sometimes, like kitsune and Inari. Raijuu are also not exclusively wolfs. They can be weasels, mice, and beasts (unspecific term).
After hearing it, the Glaceon thing seems more the fault of your opponents making life hell for you that day instead of Glaceon itself. We still love Glaceon in this household, even if it can be kinda hard to use
Sleep Powder's accuracy is 75%: - Opponent uses it, it hits. - Opponent uses it, it hits. - Opponent uses it, it hits. - You use it, it misses. See? 75%.
Ground types can be paralyzed, just not by electric moves. In fact it's crazy how many non-electric moves there are that can paralyze a pokemon. Twinneedle is the only non Poison move that can inflict poison and Scald was the only non Fire move that could cause burn.
@@natnew32I think technically Toxic doesn't respect type immunity in gen 1 because it doesn't effect poison type pokemon when it would normally only be resisted by them.
Unfezant has justification for being hated though. Unlike the other Flying/Normal regional birds, Unfezant has terminal Treekoitis. Where as gen 1-3 pokemon at least have the justification of the physical-special split not existing so their movepool doesnt necessarily match their stats, Unfezant is one of the only pokemon AFTER gen 3 with this problem. its a physical attacker, with a special attacker's movepool
Not to mention that most regional bird are actually useful or have atleast something going for, like staraptor, talonflame or swellow (back in older generation)
You give something the option to use everything and they just use things that are op. This has been shown in game design over and over. Smeargle's design is not good at all.
@@phantom-ri2tg what is OP changes constantly. And can differ from team to team. If Smeargle was actually OP you'd see it as much as Incineroar. But you don't, because it fills a niche role and relies heavily on its breadth rather than its effectiveness.
@@TheDeathlyG I did not say Smeargle is op. I said Smeargle is using what is op. Notice how in this video he was not talking about all the unexpected moves Smeargle could have. That is because they were using the same moves as each other. Smeargle was not used for having a diverse kit. It was used for having moves op enough to make up for its stats.
I once almost immediately gauged I should be completely ignoring the Spore Smeargle in a competitive match and just left it alone for the _entire_ match. Their entire strategy immediately fell apart as the Smeargle’s sole job was to empower it’s allies with Coaching, Decorate, Spore and Protect, but it couldn’t perform it’s job to any capacity when those same allies were almost immediately dropping, and it was extremely comical in how it was desperately trying to hold the crumbling team together as Flutter Mane woke up and started blasting every couple of turns.
What I dislike about Incineroar is that it clearly looks like a pure offensive Pokémon like the Fire Fighting starters, and yet it’s using support moves like crazy. I think it never won a tournament with its signature move Darkest Lariat, instead with Knock Off or Snarl.
@@lunamaster123 I know, but that’s the problem. Starter Pokémon should feel unique, but it doesn’t feel like a starter as it constantly use moves that already existed on more balanced Pokémon, making Incineroar appearing more like a strategy sponge rather than a warrior. I don’t think people even run Fighting moves (not even Close Combat in Gen 9) or even Malicious Moonsault with Incinium Z because it just needs to be the glue rather than the star. Even if Drum Beating is forgotten, at least Rillaboom’s Grassy Surge feels more unique than another Intimidater (people also give Rillaboom the G-max factor back then just in case). Super Smash Bros Ultimate even proved my point as all the other fully evolved starter Pokemon has at least 2 moves that’s the most viable (Flamethrower and Flare Blitz for Charizard, Aura Sphere and Extreme Speed for Lucario, and all of Greninja’s moves, (even the final smash uses Mat Block, which is great too)). No one would run Darkest Lariat, Cross Chop, or Revenge on Incineroar.
@bubby-fi9mc Funny you bring that up considering that Incineroar is top tier in 2v2 specifically because of how strong of a support teammate it is. So Incin's VCG playstyle followed it to Smash.
I have a funny story regarding Xerneas. One time on Showdown, playing the VGC 2022 ruleset, I ran into a guy using Latios and Xerneas. He had the Latios use Simple Beam on Xerneas, who then used Power Herb Geomancy to boost its stats by three times. However, one of the legendaries I selected was Solgaleo, who I had immediately use Sunsteel Strike to OHKO the Xerneas. As soon as that happened, the guy quit. Later, I ran into the same guy using the same strategy again, with similar results.
It's a little funny that he said Glaceon has decent bulk, "especially on the special side," but its Defense is actually higher than it's Special Defense 🙃
Sadly, with weaknesses to rock, steel and fighting (among others), having roughly equal defence and special defence can generally be treated as 'better at being physically bulky' (with how those types are all more commonly used on physical a lot of the time)
I'm gonna be honest: I am so happy that we get this breath of fresh air. I'm just kinda tired of "What's the best ______-Pokémon"-Videos. I mean, yes, this is also a top 10 video, but at least we don't see the same Pokémon with explainations why they are good over and over again. This just feels so much more chill. I love these breakdowns, as long as it's not the same breakdown in 3 seperate videos. Love your videos btw
@@Notanegg. yeah and perish trap is a strat with no luck, it’s purely skill and sleep powder is chance there is no world where sleep powder is less annoying than perish trap
I feel like that complaint is pretty much just about sleep powder. The follow me/eruption combo has a lot of counterplay, but then the player using them can just switch to sleep powder.
@@SongokuJidai Not even that, it's the whole Team Skull thing. Team Skull literally sabotaged the mission assigned to you and your partner and Chatot punished you and your partner severely without even listening to your side of the story. And then when he finally finds out about them and gets betrayed, he doesn't even apologize for doing us like this. It baffles that there's people who defend him, he's absolutely in the wrong here.
Also, that one mission in Brine Cave(...? Was it brine cave? Anyway.) where Chatot is your follower and he just keeps dying. Why do I have to babysit a bird bro...
"Every Pokemon is somebody's favorite." Yeah, and one of mine happens to be in the thumbnail of the most famous player's "I hate these Pokemon" video. XD At least my number one favorite Liligant isn't really mainstream enough to make the list, right? ...right?
I always find that 2:47 I always found that challenge's outcome real funny because Leafeon & Glaceon are like, my top two eeveelutions and would count amongst my upper favorites if I were to tier list all 1000+ pokemon xD
The monkeys were a good shoutout, maybe some of my least favourite Pokémon based purely on aesthetic. Simipour looks so awful it makes me irrationally annoyed when looking at it.
They have GOT to buff the Ice-type. I'd make it either just weak to Fire or weak to just Fire and Steel while resisting Electric. It wouldn't make all these slow Ice-types _good,_ but it would at least make them viable.
Honestly, even reversion to a Fire neutrality would change things. Not enough, mind you, since Fighting, Steel, and Rock are still coverage moves, but the Water/Ice Pokémon, Swinub line, and all Ice Pokémon x4 weak to Fire (Snover line, Snom line) would benefit and at least slot in nicely as an extra option in the Fire/Water/Grass triangle.
Fun fact, Wolfe's videos made me love Smeargle. There's something about that stupid lookin doggo being a war criminal, it brings joy to my chaotic soul. I aspire to be like Smeargle
I love the wrestler archetype and the fact that Incineroar teased the community with a design that seemed like another Fire/Fighting, but ended up being Fire/Dark.
"People are gonna hate this one" Man I'm still mad about Lycanroc lol. I'm OBSESSED with werewolves and red is my favorite color lol. Nah nah, I joke. I get that everyone has preferences, and I can commiserate being disappointed by something/their designs.
Bro you’re killing this TH-cam game, these videos are quality and a lot of time and effort went into them yet we still get multiple of them a month! They also feel authentic, not rushed at all. You and your team deserve props. I’m not a huge fan of pokemon I don’t even play the games casually but like a lot of kids it was a part of my childhood and I am a fan of this channel.
Me hearing Wolfe say he has a beef with Lycanroc: 😡 Me hearing it's only with Midnight Lycanroc: 😊 EDIT: Me hearing him call Toucannon not good: Skill issue, lol.
@@Andrew-jz1pm instead it just got.. Counter. as a mon with not the greatest defensive stats and a typing weak to a lot of strong physical attacking types.
@@Andrew-jz1pm Same. Like, I get it's supposed to be a more tank-type of mon, but... it's a Rock-type. It needs something like an Ability or second typing to help it, and this is coming from a Rock-type lover!
@@DatCartoonistGuy Lycaroc is the only rock type with a 100 base power 100 percent accurate rock move (has a high crit ratio btw) with no drawbacks and you wanna tell me that it doesn’t help. Set up tailwind and you’re golden my guy.
@rooislangwtf no doubt the prevolutions are pigeons, but look up male/female pheasants are lol. Different color scheme and plumage. It's even called and pronounced un"pheasant".
Wolfe intentionally mispronounces a bunch of names. It's mentioned in a couple of earlier videos It's sometimes because he doesn't like the name or the pronunciation and other times because it makes people comment about it lmao
I like Unfezant as it helped me greatly in my White playthough, but I can still easily relate to all of your complaints about the thing. Even the show dumped Unfezant from Ash's team and swapped her out for Charizard. XD I laughed through that whole segment as your jokes were great, but "Mama Bird" was still a gem for me when I played through White the first time. : ) This was a fun video, and I like the more casual oriented focus as opposed to the hardcore battling stuff. It's nice to hear some relatively normal stuff from you. : )
6:00 I liked that its name was unpheasant a play on unpleasant. I also like pronouncing things incorrectly. Everyone has a few pokemon names they think they are saying correctly that they just aren't 😂

Aerodactyl, for some reason, had EVERY. SINGLE. NICHE. it had ripped away from it going into SwSh.
Sky Drop & Megas? Removed from the game
Hone Claws & some of its setup/offensive coverage? No longer learns

For anyone interested, it takes 19 seconds for incineroar to appear in a video about pokemon Wolfe hates

I think that was the longest amount of time the collective consciousness has ever thought about Unfezant.
There is probably the day when the Pokémon anime had Skyla and Ash battle with two Tranquill and Ash’s Tranquill turned into Unfezant, but that’s it.
Wolfey is 5 videos away from confessing his love for Incineroar
Venusaur is my favourite pokemon, and you hating it is honestly the biggest compliment it could get.
Wow, he'd better not say one of _my_ favorites! I'm gonna check and make sure!
_"Heh heh, get engagement'd."_
Ground types can be paralyzed, just not by electric moves.
In fact it's crazy how many non-electric moves there are that can paralyze a pokemon.
Twinneedle is the only non Poison move that can inflict poison and Scald was the only non Fire move that could cause burn.
U forgot triattack for burns
@@theowlogram888 you're right, but it also can Paralyze so it kinda cancels itself out.
Thunder wave is also the only status move that respects type immunity, all the way back to gen 1.
@@petrie911 Toxic
@@natnew32I think technically Toxic doesn't respect type immunity in gen 1 because it doesn't effect poison type pokemon when it would normally only be resisted by them.
Provides genuine reasons to dislike a Pokemon immediately followed by
ITS SO UGLY
Nah, he's right for that.
*Why* does Bruxish have them thicc lips????
Honestly? That's probably the most valid reason to dislike a Pokemon. If it just looks _bad_ then yeah, that's a perfectly fair reason.
Looking bad in the most profitable media series centered around having hundreds of marketable creatures? Valid reason to be disliked.
Well a lot of Pokemons are only liked because they are beautifully designed or too cute so beautiful ugly plays a major role in Pokemon popularity.
Unfezant has justification for being hated though. Unlike the other Flying/Normal regional birds, Unfezant has terminal Treekoitis. Where as gen 1-3 pokemon at least have the justification of the physical-special split not existing so their movepool doesnt necessarily match their stats, Unfezant is one of the only pokemon AFTER gen 3 with this problem. its a physical attacker, with a special attacker's movepool
Why?
I prefer the term Electivirus
Not to mention that most regional bird are actually useful or have atleast something going for, like staraptor, talonflame or swellow (back in older generation)
Dual wingbeat it can learn. U turn it can also learn.
And would it be well known as a user of those moves? No, because it receives them at the same time or later than better users of those moves.
Playerbase: Please stop making pokemon that have no good moves and no options competitively
GF: Makes liligant
Wofley: 👿
I love how honest you can be. Glad that my favorite is on your list though 😊
Man, Smeargle is like peak Pokemon design. Weak stats, but endless creativity. The niche and wacky strats you can pull with it are frickin awesome.
You give something the option to use everything and they just use things that are op. This has been shown in game design over and over.
Smeargle's design is not good at all.
@@phantom-ri2tg what is OP changes constantly. And can differ from team to team.
If Smeargle was actually OP you'd see it as much as Incineroar. But you don't, because it fills a niche role and relies heavily on its breadth rather than its effectiveness.
@@TheDeathlyG I did not say Smeargle is op. I said Smeargle is using what is op.
Notice how in this video he was not talking about all the unexpected moves Smeargle could have. That is because they were using the same moves as each other.
Smeargle was not used for having a diverse kit. It was used for having moves op enough to make up for its stats.
I once almost immediately gauged I should be completely ignoring the Spore Smeargle in a competitive match and just left it alone for the _entire_ match.
Their entire strategy immediately fell apart as the Smeargle’s sole job was to empower it’s allies with Coaching, Decorate, Spore and Protect, but it couldn’t perform it’s job to any capacity when those same allies were almost immediately dropping, and it was extremely comical in how it was desperately trying to hold the crumbling team together as Flutter Mane woke up and started blasting every couple of turns.
What I dislike about Incineroar is that it clearly looks like a pure offensive Pokémon like the Fire Fighting starters, and yet it’s using support moves like crazy. I think it never won a tournament with its signature move Darkest Lariat, instead with Knock Off or Snarl.
To be fair, Knock Off has a higher BP than Lariat and has a better effect (defense boosts aren't that common).
@@lunamaster123 I know, but that’s the problem. Starter Pokémon should feel unique, but it doesn’t feel like a starter as it constantly use moves that already existed on more balanced Pokémon, making Incineroar appearing more like a strategy sponge rather than a warrior. I don’t think people even run Fighting moves (not even Close Combat in Gen 9) or even Malicious Moonsault with Incinium Z because it just needs to be the glue rather than the star. Even if Drum Beating is forgotten, at least Rillaboom’s Grassy Surge feels more unique than another Intimidater (people also give Rillaboom the G-max factor back then just in case). Super Smash Bros Ultimate even proved my point as all the other fully evolved starter Pokemon has at least 2 moves that’s the most viable (Flamethrower and Flare Blitz for Charizard, Aura Sphere and Extreme Speed for Lucario, and all of Greninja’s moves, (even the final smash uses Mat Block, which is great too)). No one would run Darkest Lariat, Cross Chop, or Revenge on Incineroar.
@@juanca2567to be fair do you WANT competitive Incineroar in smash bros???? Top of the tier lists instantly 😓
@bubby-fi9mc Funny you bring that up considering that Incineroar is top tier in 2v2 specifically because of how strong of a support teammate it is. So Incin's VCG playstyle followed it to Smash.
Wolfey actually won NAIC 2019 with Darkest Lariat Incineroar
lol
I have a funny story regarding Xerneas.
One time on Showdown, playing the VGC 2022 ruleset, I ran into a guy using Latios and Xerneas. He had the Latios use Simple Beam on Xerneas, who then used Power Herb Geomancy to boost its stats by three times. However, one of the legendaries I selected was Solgaleo, who I had immediately use Sunsteel Strike to OHKO the Xerneas. As soon as that happened, the guy quit. Later, I ran into the same guy using the same strategy again, with similar results.
We all know that Xerneas is gonna get buffs in legends ZA
Watching the Wolfe-Incin enemies to lovers arc was not on my 2024 bingo card and I love it
I hate Rayquaza. Mega Rayquaza to be specific. PokéRogue players will understand.
Yes... (He will finally understand our pain)

yes he should i will be in his dreams to turn them to never ending nightmares
I second this
I agree with this. Bro doesn’t like glaceon because of skill issues.
I third this...
It's a little funny that he said Glaceon has decent bulk, "especially on the special side," but its Defense is actually higher than it's Special Defense 🙃
Sadly, with weaknesses to rock, steel and fighting (among others), having roughly equal defence and special defence can generally be treated as 'better at being physically bulky' (with how those types are all more commonly used on physical a lot of the time)
I'm gonna be honest: I am so happy that we get this breath of fresh air. I'm just kinda tired of "What's the best ______-Pokémon"-Videos. I mean, yes, this is also a top 10 video, but at least we don't see the same Pokémon with explainations why they are good over and over again.
This just feels so much more chill. I love these breakdowns, as long as it's not the same breakdown in 3 seperate videos.
Love your videos btw
Sorry for the stress it gave you but I actually loved watching you get to no. 1 with glaceon lol. One of my favourite yt videos ever
I could never hate a Pokémon I like visually, that's the whole reason I even like Pokémon at all. I just love to see the ones I like.
Calling the lilligant strategies degenerate while your favorite strats are perish trap teams is crazy
Perish trap seems way harder to use than lilligant torkoal
@@Notanegg. yeah and perish trap is a strat with no luck, it’s purely skill and sleep powder is chance there is no world where sleep powder is less annoying than perish trap
I feel like that complaint is pretty much just about sleep powder. The follow me/eruption combo has a lot of counterplay, but then the player using them can just switch to sleep powder.
As the sunroom strongest hater i really think lilligant is degenerate af
Perish trap teams dont require on luck, its very, very Hard to use them
7:17 a sounding dragon is a crazy sentence
"huh, what's sounding?"

Genuinely shocked that it wasn't #1 when he didn't mention it before then.
Because Urshifu's cool.
now we must make a team of the top 6 and fight Wolfey
Thanks for the lil anecdote that you do like glaceon's design, I love that lil dog
I am a reasonable person surely I won't care if he dislikes a pokemon I like we are allowed to disagree...

"Who doesn't like Chatot?" Me, I still have horrible flashbacks from when I played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time as a kid
Why tf am I still paying rent to a guild I graduated out from?
@@SongokuJidai Not even that, it's the whole Team Skull thing. Team Skull literally sabotaged the mission assigned to you and your partner and Chatot punished you and your partner severely without even listening to your side of the story. And then when he finally finds out about them and gets betrayed, he doesn't even apologize for doing us like this. It baffles that there's people who defend him, he's absolutely in the wrong here.
Also, that one mission in Brine Cave(...? Was it brine cave? Anyway.) where Chatot is your follower and he just keeps dying. Why do I have to babysit a bird bro...
"Every Pokemon is somebody's favorite." Yeah, and one of mine happens to be in the thumbnail of the most famous player's "I hate these Pokemon" video. XD
At least my number one favorite Liligant isn't really mainstream enough to make the list, right? ...right?
I always find that 2:47 I always found that challenge's outcome real funny because Leafeon & Glaceon are like, my top two eeveelutions and would count amongst my upper favorites if I were to tier list all 1000+ pokemon xD
Wolfe: I hate you Incineroar.
*Thundurus(I), Smeargle, Xerneas walk into the room
Wolfe: Perhaps I judged you too harshly.
For singles players, i want to translate what he said about Incinroar to our expierence: Inciniroar is the landorus T of doubles
Which is funny since Lando-T is also one of the best doubles Pokémon.
The monkeys were a good shoutout, maybe some of my least favourite Pokémon based purely on aesthetic. Simipour looks so awful it makes me irrationally annoyed when looking at it.
Love the fact that the blurred images of the higher up pokemon are less discernible now, like it’s less spoilery now
2:32 Here is where Im clicking off the video. Just leaving you with this message: after you fall asleep today you won’t wake up in the morning
VENASAUR BEING ON HERE IS AN ABSOLUTE CRIME
Justice for Venusaur!
NOT MY BESTIE JUSTICE FOR VENUSAUR

he lost 2022 worlds bcoz of Venusaur
They have GOT to buff the Ice-type. I'd make it either just weak to Fire or weak to just Fire and Steel while resisting Electric. It wouldn't make all these slow Ice-types _good,_ but it would at least make them viable.
Honestly, even reversion to a Fire neutrality would change things. Not enough, mind you, since Fighting, Steel, and Rock are still coverage moves, but the Water/Ice Pokémon, Swinub line, and all Ice Pokémon x4 weak to Fire (Snover line, Snom line) would benefit and at least slot in nicely as an extra option in the Fire/Water/Grass triangle.
Fun fact, Wolfe's videos made me love Smeargle. There's something about that stupid lookin doggo being a war criminal, it brings joy to my chaotic soul. I aspire to be like Smeargle
21:48 This shot goes hard 😂😂😂
I love the wrestler archetype and the fact that Incineroar teased the community with a design that seemed like another Fire/Fighting, but ended up being Fire/Dark.
"People are gonna hate this one"
Man I'm still mad about Lycanroc lol. I'm OBSESSED with werewolves and red is my favorite color lol.
Nah nah, I joke. I get that everyone has preferences, and I can commiserate being disappointed by something/their designs.

Bro you’re killing this TH-cam game, these videos are quality and a lot of time and effort went into them yet we still get multiple of them a month! They also feel authentic, not rushed at all.
You and your team deserve props. I’m not a huge fan of pokemon I don’t even play the games casually but like a lot of kids it was a part of my childhood and I am a fan of this channel.

@@Andrew-jz1pm Same. Like, I get it's supposed to be a more tank-type of mon, but... it's a Rock-type. It needs something like an Ability or second typing to help it, and this is coming from a Rock-type lover!

Calling Unfezant a pigeon and not a pheasant is top tier "don't know anything" about this pokemon :P
Both Pidove and Tranquil are pigeons, so it's a pigeon
@rooislangwtf no doubt the prevolutions are pigeons, but look up male/female pheasants are lol. Different color scheme and plumage. It's even called and pronounced un"pheasant".
@@takejisan808z then you should look up a pheasant pigeon :p
maybe thats why i hate unfezant specifically out of the entire line (cause its not a pigeon)
I don’t get how poketuber pronounce names wrong it’s 4:59 the name is suppose to sound like “unpleasant” but with an F.
Which is ironic, because Wolfe finds Unfezant so unpleasant
@@loreleihillard5078 😂
Wolfe intentionally mispronounces a bunch of names. It's mentioned in a couple of earlier videos
It's sometimes because he doesn't like the name or the pronunciation and other times because it makes people comment about it lmao

I thought he was joking when he said oohnfezzont😂😂
Oh don't worry Wolfe, Darkrai hates Smeargle as much as you do!
Wolfe hates Galceon (my favourite Pokémon) because of a skill issue.
This is so funny XD
I think that Kommo-o's Gen 9 versatility should redeem it, but he's my favorite pokemon so I'm biased
I like Unfezant as it helped me greatly in my White playthough, but I can still easily relate to all of your complaints about the thing. Even the show dumped Unfezant from Ash's team and swapped her out for Charizard. XD
I laughed through that whole segment as your jokes were great, but "Mama Bird" was still a gem for me when I played through White the first time. : )
This was a fun video, and I like the more casual oriented focus as opposed to the hardcore battling stuff. It's nice to hear some relatively normal stuff from you. : )
