We got VGC Champ Pachirisu in a format limited to a Regional Dex, only the first iteration of Mega Evolutions, and only three Legendaries. These niche picks will and should only be seen when they can compete with the current meta, and when they make sense. That said, with the new game coming out, we might get something like it in 2020.
People moaning about legendaries but the most common Pokemon is Incineroar 🤔 meta mons are meta mons and like it or not, the majority of players will use meta mons because they have the best chance to win. Banning legendaries won’t change that, it’ll just swap the current meta mons to slightly weaker meta mons.
@G Dev because of rayquaza's ability, delta stream which deletes the type flying weaknesses (electric rock and ice). While incineroar is also fire type which resists fairy, so fairy moves are not supereffective

@@ItsGalex Dude, it's time to stop crying. Making perfect Pokémon with PkHex absolutely doesn't guarantee a victory. Everybody has hacked Pokémon in VGC because wasting like 10+ hours building a team is stupid when you're suppose to spent this time on battle.
Here to clear some things up for you guys since, from the looks of it, most of you don't really understand what's going on. First, what's a legendary pokemon? For most people it's one where there's only one or very few available in-game. VGC uses a different classification in the form of restricted pokemon. These are the (mostly) box legendaries: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem (White/Black), Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Solgaleo, Lunala and Necrozma. These are only allowed every few years, specifically in 2010, 2016 and now in 2019. They are banned for most of the metagame because they're simply too powerful, but allowed every once in a while because they otherwise wouldn't see any action, and it changes up the format to be more aggressive and centered around these restricted mons. Using restricted pokemon is not boring or a sign that the players lack skill, because they have to employ the same skills they would in a format where the restrcted were not allowed. Other legendaries (like Zapdos, Latias, Landorus etc.) have always been allowed in metas with a national dex, and even some (like the Tapus) have been allowed when they belong in the current game's regional dex. Mythicals have never been allowed. The players use these pokemon because they are the best. They don't play to entertain anyone, they play to win, and possibly to have fun. If you think that legendaries (restrcted or not) kills the game, then that's fine, but keep in mind that none of these players are in the game to appeal to you specifically. They're in it to win. Second, hacking/generating pokemon. Hacking pokemon, as I understand it, means generating pokemon with moves or abilities that they can't legally have, like a Shedinja with the ability sturdy. Generating pokemon just means that otherwise fully legal mons are generated into the game for quick access. Hacked pokemon should definitely be illegal, as they already are and as most of you seem to agree on. Generating pokemon not so much, at least I don't think they're as big of a problem. Essentially, they give no competitive advantages. You still have to play them just as well, know what moves to use, guess what moves your opponent is using, know when to switch out, and so on. In that regard there's no difference between generating pokemon and catching, breeding, and training your pokemon yourself. However, the problem comes when getting new playerd into the game. If someone wants to be a VGC player and keep up with the ever changing metagame they will need to generate their pokemon, because the process of obtaining them legally is a big investment that not everyone has the same time or patience for. In that sense there is a problem for sure, but I don't think it's the players who are at fault here, it's that the process in the games is just too slow. I got bored of it and I'm sure many others did as well. I think it's the game that needs to change and not necessarily the rules. I hope this cleared up some things for you, or at the very least made you think about it.
People really have to understand that it is only a legal Pokémon if you can get that Pokémon via grinding. You can only generate Pokémon with stats that are possible via normal gameplay. This means all the Pokémon in the video are realistic, but just extremely hard to get without generation.
@@dssc8691 Wouldn't that make those totally unfair? Doesn't it break the entire purpose of the game itself? Why should I even play the game if I can just observe how the meta floats and generate the best team with best moves and best stats instantly?
@@dssc8691 having breed teams of my own, genning is tremendous leap forward. You can get the ideal stat IVs quick and perfect vs breeding which can make specific values difficult to maintain If for instance you wanted all 31x points into all stats but the IV for attack for a special poke attacker breeding that poke is insanely tedious as it is arduous
Interesting play from both competitors, I look forward to see it live at Worlds! Also Wolfe's play at the European Int. was pretty Amazing! Still made it till top 4!
I'm more inclined to believe that it would pretty much KO, but maybe if its very very bulky and the Incineroar has like no attack investment, the Lunala could very well live. 0 Atk Incineroar Darkest Lariat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Lunala: 168-204 (68.8 - 83.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
MrGlacron0678 Because they, generally, are better than the other options? In 2018 when Lando T was allowed you would see that Garchomp fell off dramatically because Lando T is it but better
Looking at Wolfe’s team, I’m having flashbacks to VGC16: Kyogre- Kyogre Rayquaza- Rayquaza Gengar- Gengar Bronzing- Celesteela Hitmontop- Incineroar Raichu- Tapu Koko Each with the same general purpose as before Respect.
User Name No, it was mixed w/ Timid and Lightning Rod. Drawing away a Kyogre Thunder, getting plus 1, and using Volt Switch was usually an OHKO on said Kyogre. And while Raichu was primarily support, Koko is in its own sort of way in terms of terrain control and coverage
@@Xaean71 Id actually disagree. Yes, Mega Evolving rayquaza to remove weather is strong, BUT Primal groudon, kyogre and Xerneas can be just as strong, if not more menacing. I believe legendary Metas really limit creativity in teambuilding.
@@user-do9co7nd3c I'm sorry, you're tryina tell me that primals are just as strong as mega rayquaza? MAYBE I'll give you white herb xerneas, but even white herb xerneas can't hold pinch berries, or choice items, or any other busted shit. Mega rayquaza gives you the option to reset the weather whenever you want, hold whichever item you want, and set up weather that makes it insanely bulky, and on top of all of that, it's an offensive monster. Primals are nothing compared to it, don't even bother arguing that. Xerneas might be just a little bit comparable, but it's still nothing by comparison. Have you never played pokemon before or sumn?
@@Brandonhayes-r6e Can you explain why most VGC players in the other restricted formats(2016) used Primals and Xerneas more than Mega Ray. To put it simply having a mega and two restricted Pokemon is great. That allows you to run Mega Salamence/ Mawile/ Kangaskhan. Mega Ray isn't just worth a mega slot if you can run another restricted in its stead. It's powerful, yes but not worth it to often.
@@dhavalpatel156 2014 format was my favorite. yea, mega kangs/talonflames everywhere but it allowed you to be kind of creative with your team. oras competive fucked everything up. everything went downhill from there
lol xerneas ia even more broken geomancy and you are +2 spa speed and atk sometimes you juts win after a geomancy if are well positioned rayquza is top tier but not as good as it is in singles because dosent have good spread moves
I'm not saying you're wrong but leading Mega-Medi basically forced that. Fake Out wasn't doing any noteworthy damage, switching means something is taking a TON of damage, and I don't even know if he had protect. So going for a Hail Mary was his possibly his best bet. Now why he lead Medicham at all after the first game is the real question and I wouldn't mind hearing his thoughts about it.
If Wolfe went for the exact same play of not megaing turn one then graham would have koed the cele before the ray koed the medicham so he did learn from the first game
It only lasts for one turn. Graham thought Wolfe would do something else as he thought Wide Guard was -too- obvious, but Wolfe called that prediction and did it precisely for that reason.
I love the pokemon games but never been hardcore into it like this. But after watching this has maybe me judge all my pokemon choices throughout my life. Primarina will always be my favourite.
It really bugs me that VGC now is mostly legends I feel like it dilutes the game so much because you see the same Pokemon all the time in competitive play.
I don't understand way people get upset over other people using legendary pokemon, if they want to use legendary pokemon then let them use them. I bet back in the old days no one was complaining about people using Mewtwo or Mew when Red, Blue and Yellow came out.
Been hoping for some sort of META Break in pokemon since Generation 5. METAs take the fun, and challenge out of all games imo. You don't have to come up with a strategy or anything. Just go to smogon look up the info, and make the team according to what the webpage says and what you want and what the meta is currently(mostly OU/Uber) and boom you have an easy ladder climbing team. Which ladder climbing like this isn't even being done by your own... Well anything. All you did was look up the information step by step on what to donfor your team completely. oppose to an actual player researching pokemon, natures, base stats, builds, move sets, possible combos, synergizing pokemon party, etc etc. Not to mention that they still have to make/obtain the pokemon as well like the META player.(the only thing in common that a META Player has to do... I.e. make/obtain the pokemon.)
@@Miso-tz3wj I'm wrong because i want an actual challenge in Ranking mode? Oppose to fighting the same things over and over again when we have options of varity? Massive options of varity. And yet majority of every competitive player just wants the easiest cheapeat wins to advance. That's the difference between pokemon and something like yugioh amd Overwatch. Yugioh has a meta, and usually 5 decks run the meta, but there are so many cards and possible strategies that you can sometimes mix and match meta sets to make stronger sets, or you can make your own set and still hold you own, and/or win. As well as see varity as alot of duelist will have their own specially made deck. Overwatch has a meta, but it's not really played much unless you're in the higher level ranks(starting around diamomd and up), but even still one tricks, and the maps/match type can make it to where Meta picks won't even get used unless you can synergize together. I'm sorry that I'm an actual gamer who likes to be challenged, amd likes to earn wins. Especially hard fought wins. Those are exciting. ✌
@@taurellreed2716 yea yugioh has 5 viable decks you can run and im fully aware that you can run different cards and pokemon is exactly the same you can run different 'cards' aka moves on your pokemon like for example roar groudon to counter xerneas and as for overwatch youve just refuted your own argument. As you get to higher ranks youll start to see the same stuff and ITS THE SAME HERE so again i ask what are you exactly complaining about and how is pokemon different from any other competitive meta

Raquaza: Creates even stronger winds

MAYBE I'll give you white herb xerneas, but even white herb xerneas can't hold pinch berries, or choice items, or any other busted shit. Mega rayquaza gives you the option to reset the weather whenever you want, hold whichever item you want, and set up weather that makes it insanely bulky, and on top of all of that, it's an offensive monster. Primals are nothing compared to it, don't even bother arguing that. Xerneas might be just a little bit comparable, but it's still nothing by comparison. Have you never played pokemon before or sumn?
@@Brandonhayes-r6e Can you explain why most VGC players in the other restricted formats(2016) used Primals and Xerneas more than Mega Ray. To put it simply having a mega and two restricted Pokemon is great. That allows you to run Mega Salamence/ Mawile/ Kangaskhan. Mega Ray isn't just worth a mega slot if you can run another restricted in its stead. It's powerful, yes but not worth it to often.
Primal, mega and z moves. Oh the days
Wolfe could beat me like that and I wouldn’t even be mad
Thank you Mr Fish
i can imagine myself going to one of these with just one rattata and losing in the first round
Of course you will Joey
Gonna go ahead and go ahead
I wonder how many of these Pokemon won't make it to Sw/Sh
Eumelanin Knight my guess, Gengar and medicham will make it, but none of the others.
@@thechessfish all the starters are confirmed theres a full list it's only about 200 confirmed but it us getting bigger
Aaron Zheng is the old bro I’m happy he is a staple of Pokémon comp after all the years!!!!
I had no idea this existed....
which version of the pokemon game? and is it in 3ds?
Necrid one of the gen 7 games on 3ds
Yo I had never knew there was a Pokémon tournament 😂😂
I have no idea what’s going on but I love watching these
What are they playing on? I want to try this game
Jonathan Birkeland 3ds sun and moon 2 I’m pretty sure
Ultra sun and ultra moon games
I was doing a team build while watching this
delta stream + electric surge rip fps
It was hilarious the way he has a huge flag on him
remember when we didn't use all legendaries in our parties..... Pokemon was more fun that way.....
Says every casual who has never played competitive ever
@@dhavalpatel156 2014 format was my favorite. yea, mega kangs/talonflames everywhere but it allowed you to be kind of creative with your team. oras competive fucked everything up. everything went downhill from there
Lulz fax
I’m sorry but what console is it and what Pokémon game is it?
When they talk about balance but allow Raquazza
lol xerneas ia even more broken
geomancy and you are +2 spa speed and atk
sometimes you juts win after a geomancy if are well positioned
rayquza is top tier but not as good as it is in singles because dosent have good spread moves
Scarf tapu lele one shots rayquaza
Why does mega rayquaza seem to drop the ingame fps so low?
If I compete I would use shuckle
I was surprised that i saw the wolf youtuber here in 2019 which was super crazy for me
Great commentating
why they don't use battle system from let's go and they still use from sun and moon? it's 2019 and that champioship stuck in to 3ds battle system
You serious? The let’s go bs is so casual friendly. Why would anyone do that
Why did he not Fake Out to Rayquaza the second game? Like come on he should have learned from the first game lol
Mind games
Heavy Slam from Celestela then E-speed would also kill the Commenters said, so it'd be the first game all over again basically.
nahte123456 Yeah but doing some damage or protecting or even not being mega Medicham again would’ve been better.
I'm not saying you're wrong but leading Mega-Medi basically forced that. Fake Out wasn't doing any noteworthy damage, switching means something is taking a TON of damage, and I don't even know if he had protect. So going for a Hail Mary was his possibly his best bet.
Now why he lead Medicham at all after the first game is the real question and I wouldn't mind hearing his thoughts about it.
If Wolfe went for the exact same play of not megaing turn one then graham would have koed the cele before the ray koed the medicham so he did learn from the first game
What a chaotic format ,2 restricted pokemon, z-moves, mega evolution
While the wide guard was up, why did Graham go for second water spout?
It only lasts for one turn. Graham thought Wolfe would do something else as he thought Wide Guard was -too- obvious, but Wolfe called that prediction and did it precisely for that reason.
I love the pokemon games but never been hardcore into it like this. But after watching this has maybe me judge all my pokemon choices throughout my life. Primarina will always be my favourite.
Ethan Waber No need to. It’s perfectly fine to play Pokemon just for fun
It really bugs me that VGC now is mostly legends I feel like it dilutes the game so much because you see the same Pokemon all the time in competitive play.
Deep Soul Remember in 2015 when literally everything at worlds was CHALK?
Deep Soul And another thing, mythicals have never been allowed in VGC
I wish there was an official tournament like this similar to what Smogon does with Pokemon Showdown tiers
I play other competitive games and yes this happens 98% of the time, it’s meta
@@royalyoung9170 Smogon creates tiers based on their tastes, so fuck that.
Graham, call me. I can eat a banana in one bite.
I would use troll chansey
which pokemon is this and on what platform? i haven’t played the game in a long time so i’m unfarmiliar
Daniel Weber Its Pokemon sun and moon on 3ds
@@lucachristian2305 no it's ultra sun and moon
not a great video for Medicham
Me: turns volume off
Also me: whatcha say?
I see why Smogon banned mega rayguaza XD
What Pokemon game or platform is this?
CONGRATS WOLFE GLICK! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Celesteela's face haunts me from the day i caught it
Mega Rayquaza is too OP tbh.
Bubble Bunny yeah he is he is higher then uber tier
Abraham Gonzales this ain’t smogon
Representing the best Pokémon
I don't understand way people get upset over other people using legendary pokemon, if they want to use legendary pokemon then let them use them. I bet back in the old days no one was complaining about people using Mewtwo or Mew when Red, Blue and Yellow came out.
i just got into pokemon, how to i learn to battle properly? any sources?
I hope with the national pokedex being dropped the next set of tornament teams won't look so repetitive
I mean they always had the power in these tournaments to say, "hey you cant use so and so in this tournament". But alas they didnt
Been hoping for some sort of META Break in pokemon since Generation 5.
METAs take the fun, and challenge out of all games imo. You don't have to come up with a strategy or anything. Just go to smogon look up the info, and make the team according to what the webpage says and what you want and what the meta is currently(mostly OU/Uber) and boom you have an easy ladder climbing team.
Which ladder climbing like this isn't even being done by your own... Well anything. All you did was look up the information step by step on what to donfor your team completely.
oppose to an actual player researching pokemon, natures, base stats, builds, move sets, possible combos, synergizing pokemon party, etc etc. Not to mention that they still have to make/obtain the pokemon as well like the META player.(the only thing in common that a META Player has to do... I.e. make/obtain the pokemon.)
@@taurellreed2716 absolutely wrong about literally everything here
@@Miso-tz3wj I'm wrong because i want an actual challenge in Ranking mode? Oppose to fighting the same things over and over again when we have options of varity? Massive options of varity. And yet majority of every competitive player just wants the easiest cheapeat wins to advance.
That's the difference between pokemon and something like yugioh amd Overwatch.
Yugioh has a meta, and usually 5 decks run the meta, but there are so many cards and possible strategies that you can sometimes mix and match meta sets to make stronger sets, or you can make your own set and still hold you own, and/or win. As well as see varity as alot of duelist will have their own specially made deck.
Overwatch has a meta, but it's not really played much unless you're in the higher level ranks(starting around diamomd and up), but even still one tricks, and the maps/match type can make it to where Meta picks won't even get used unless you can synergize together.
I'm sorry that I'm an actual gamer who likes to be challenged, amd likes to earn wins. Especially hard fought wins. Those are exciting. ✌
@@taurellreed2716 yea yugioh has 5 viable decks you can run and im fully aware that you can run different cards and pokemon is exactly the same you can run different 'cards' aka moves on your pokemon like for example roar groudon to counter xerneas and as for overwatch youve just refuted your own argument. As you get to higher ranks youll start to see the same stuff and ITS THE SAME HERE so again i ask what are you exactly complaining about and how is pokemon different from any other competitive meta
WOLFE GLICK WORLD CHAMP DIFFERENCE
Wolfe is a cute guy
no homo
I hope he makes waves too
Congrats Wolfe!!! ♥️
I never really dedicate to watch VGC, but can someone explain the basics and how one participates?
