Exeggutor is my favorite Pokemon and it was just recently added to Scarlet and Violet - so I decided to bring it to a big online tournament.

you get that bag wolfe, your vids are awesome
What happened to only using the strongest, most meta pokemon?
Honestly, it’s kind of incredible how you can create such long-form, high-quality videos on a regular basis. Mad respect Wolfey.
Couldn’t agree more with this and he definitely deserves to hear it
he can hire editor 🙄
Facts
@@suica6292you have to admit it’s pretty impressive though, even with multiple editors
The editor does have to follow a certain direction and the requests made by the creator.
Yes a good editor makes all the difference, but it's not a one-sided job.
Wolfe: „I want to use my favorite Pokémon“ - proceeds to accidentally build the strongest sun team ever seen
Wake might actually go so hard.
@@Dr.J42currently not an good option because the best sun setter, torkoal is an offensive threat and not that bulky, but when groudon and koraidon will be allowed, its gonna be one of thr best mons in the restricted meta
Did you say torkoal isnt bulky@@imn_fauler6098
@@imn_fauler6098Is there actually now a reason to use Groudon over Koraidon? I've looked at the data of both Pokémon and it seems to me that Groudon has been outclassed hard. (Who would've thought that Groudon of all Pokémon would be powercrept...)
@@sandwich4763koraidon better start praying they don't bring back primal groudon and kyogre when they reintroduce megas for gen 10
Wolfey tricking me again into watching a full motion picture about how he wins with incineroar, tornadus and flutter maine.
This was more of an offensive Raging Bolt showcase more than anything😂
@@Darksilver740 i love raging bolt. i cant wait for the raging bolt pincurchin torkoal trick room team video.
Can you make Alolan exeggutor viable too? I love how stupid he looks haha😂
@@firepaladinr neck team
incineroar is awesome so that's fine
The torkoal “kill!” animation was the cutest thing I’ve seen all month omg
Timestamp?
@@gerday851811:08
@@gerday8518 I believe they are talking about 11:08
Wolfey: I’m DONE using mediocre Pokémon. I’m here to win, and I need to focus…………so anyway, I brought my best buddy to my next tournament!
World champ diffrence
My thoughts exactly
I do believe he meant in official league tournaments.
@@josephbartholomewhe pretty explicitly said that yes, which makes it all the more surprising to me that so many people make comment about this specifically lmao
@@josephbartholomew Yes! you're right. It is pretty funny though, and I definitely conflated league and standard tournaments. My bad :P
Last tournament video: I’m sick and tired of struggling and trying to play niche Pokemon - from now on I’m playing the best Pokemon and winning.
This video: Naaaahhh, Eggy, you’re my boy, get in here!
To be fair, that was talking about in-person tournaments. He said he'll still play weird stuff online.
Bro is just doing sidequests by now
@NZsaltz Agreed, the goofy stuff is for online tournaments but in order to win the Pokemon regional tournament, he had to use the top dudes
Didn't he literally say in that video that he will still bring weird stuff to online tournaments?
9:10 oh I can explain that one ! The move actual (japanese) name is simply "help" that's why a handless pokemon can learn it !
remember folks if something doesn't seems to make sens in pokemon, check the actual name of the move or ability or item or whatever and 99% of the time it is simply explained by the fact that the translation isn't 1-to-1
It's like how the economy suddenly makes a lot more sense if you realise Pokédollars are just Yen in the Japanese version.
I found out that Draco Meteor is called meteor showers in Japanese when i was a kid and didn't understand why it's called that until i learned Japanese enough
Meteor Showers in JP is Ryuseigun
Ryu is Japanese word for Dragon
Funny Japanese people with their funny puns
It's a similar case to Sucker Punch not being considered a punch move because its JP name is is Surprise Attack, and Smelling Salts never having any salts in its animations because it's actually called Resuscitation.
It means help, but it’s also kinda a funny translation, because it uses the kanji for hand (手), so helping hand is actually a great translation.
like splash which it's something like "hop" in japanese, that's why it's normal and it's learned by pokemon like hoppip
11:08 best pokemon animation I've seen in a minute
Fr
You're absolutely correct
I want that as a short
Same, not at all what I was expecting and it made me have to stop because I was laughing too hard.
KILLLLLL!
I'll never understand anybody that calls Exeggcute "uncreative." Slaying dragons with six egg-themed seeds that communicate telepathically and evolve into a psychic coconut tree is a banger concept.
Alolan Exeggutor's great too, weird dragons are always the best dragons.
I'm still waiting for the day Drampa is given some love. I like his pokedex entries. We did have to wait what, 7 generations for dunsparce and girafarig to get some attention?
@@MsVilecatdunsparce didn’t get attention. It was literally just a joke.
@Pam234 as a dunsparce fan, I will settle for any crumbs I am given.
@@Pam234the people who complain about dudunsparce never understood dunsparce...lmao
It wouldn't have made sense for it to have gotten a cool evolution...
@@Pam234 Dunsparce wasn't created as a joke. It was created as a rare pokemon for collecting purposes. Gotta catch 'em all was still a big hit back in gen 2 and several pokemon were created just for that purpose. The fact its based on the Tsuchinoko is another factor that hints that considering their status. Thats why it wasnt given attention in a while
Id say wolfes worst attribute in battleing is that he sometimes wildly overthinks things, and id say his best attribute in battling is that he sometimes wildly overthinka things. Lol
That kind of a trait is especially difficult when you’re playing people who aren’t at the tip top of the skill bracket, too. Often less good players will do less optimal moves. A really good player can over predict easier against less optimal players.
@@dent5672 exactly, like he's thinking ahead of a high level player then somebody whose not played as much or isn't as skilled just pulls a complete wild card move that absolutely flabbergasts him. Lol
Wolfey: Exeggutor is my favorite!
*U-turn enters the chat... and pivots out*
It's sad because now you look stupid
The way you explained the Exeggutor-Torchoal synergy seems like poetry. I'm not even into competitive Pokémon generally, but I find your creativeness so cool
Ehh it’s standard support Torkoal. Maybe some people don’t play Body Press though.
@@Dr.J42 I wouldn't know, I don't follow this shit. I just wanted to compliment his video
On the other hand I found it funny he went into this much detail on the team concept only to end with putting the two best Pokemon in the game in anyway.
Loser
@@Frostypower It’s misinformation then. I love Wolfe but the stans praising everything he does as unique, or super creative honestly diminishes any actual genius stuff he does.
Using the Fossil Fighters OST for Raging Bolt’s introduction is a stroke of GENIUS-
Oh my goddd i noticed the ost but didn't put that together!! Editor doing great work here
Childhood right there
which track is it? i never played the games but ive listened through the osts i could find on youtube and have had no luck so far :(
@@simplyfrozenwater It’s the “Final Battle” theme that plays during the last round of a tournament to Level-Up your rank.
I WAS GONNA COMMENT ON THAT I KNEW I HEARD FOSSIL FIGHTERS
Wolfe incineroar, the greatest enemies to lovers
I feel like he will still hate it lol😂
@@MorrisPXGit's a tale of old rivals becoming friends through hardships kinda thing ;)
Enemies with benefits then
@@MorrisPXGit's a slowburn
Based Username and Pfp (skylander84)
Liked for the Fossil Fighters music, its nice to know im not the only one who remembers that series lmao
I said the same thing😂
Also just realized my @ is altaspinax from back in the day💀 damn Im old now lmao
Freakin love champion
If I had a nickel for VGC players who used Fossil Fighters music in a recent video, I’d have 2 nickels (MoxieBoosted)
Man i really admire your guts to use a grass pyshic type pokemon in a meta filled with urshifu dark and incineror.
I like how Wolfe puts all this effort into not spoiling the Pokémon at the beginning and yet posts the full team on screen at 6:02
11:10 the Steve Harvey “KILL!” meme caught me off guard in the best way possible
Wolfey: I'm not gonna hinder myself with bad Pokemon anymore.
Also Wolfey, 2 weeks later: haha funny eggy man goes boom
Well he also said on official tournament, not in the online one
@@giomarimp1196 i'm pretty sure there are online tournament that assign WC points, that being said i agree he was probably referring to regional level and above, in the end having fun is what matters most, if you don't have fun, why even do it.
Exeggcute was the first card in the first pack of pokemon cards I bought, and has always had a special place in my heart
Looking forward to cracking into this wideo
Exeggutor: 'I'm just a weak gen 1 pokemon. I'm meant to be expenable'
wolfe: 'not to me'
a clone wars reference? A suprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
It is crazy there's no losers brackets in VGC. Man was 8/0, dropped a single set and the tournament's over. Wild.
Honestly? This is probably one of the biggest reasons we have basically no repeat champions.
@@BobardeZanzibar 100%. After watching so much Smash Bros. I'm baffled there's no loser's bracket. Especially because Pokémon I'd argue is significantly more matchup-heavy. It feels very luck based
At 10:15 Thunderclap is shown as a physical move, when it's actually a special move.
The move has the physical symbol in game
We love having you at the tours Wolfe. These vids breaking down the team, & your run are always super awesome to see. We hope you join another SpearPillar Tour soon!
-SirSmoke
These are probably my favorite types of videos besides the bigger theorycrafting stuff like (what if 3 types, what if sound type etc.), they've got buildup, you get a good look at how things work together, it's all super fun and interesting. Thanks for being the world champ entertainer baby.
Shoutout to the editor(s)! Even in these videos, that are over an hour long, every second of it looks beautifully animated and the cuts keep the battles engaging and comprehensive. Hope Wolfe pays you well!
Wolfe at the start of the competitive season: "I'm done using bad/unorthodox pokemon"
Also Wolfe: What if e g g
“Like most palm trees I know, they are slow”
-_-
I'm more of an Alolan Exeggutor fan, but I love that goofy palm tree mon.
Fun fact: it's Ishihara's favourite mon and he used to use it to play test Red and Green
1:00 hey, don’t diss my boy specs chlorophyll scovillain
REAL. The team doesnt work much anymore cause of the power creep of more recent formats but i still have a sun team based around helping hand torkoal and a focus sash max spatk chlorophyll scovillain saved on showdown cause it was so much fun to use and watch it blow up other teams pre-dlc lol. I wasnt smart enough to ever consider eject button overheat torkoal though so mine was just exclusively EV'd to be bulky running clear smog / helping hand / fire blast / yawn being basically pure support. Worked better than youd think as a dondozo counter tbh
39:35 Does anyone knows for sure what would happened there?
My theory is that the game flags de position of the pkmn switching in, so since now Torkoal is in that position it would just switch Torkoal back in. But who knows!
I tested this in Showdown. I got text that “The switch failed because the chosen pokemon was already in” and Flutter Mane lost its turn. Unless there’s a showdown bug I expect that’s correct.
Has anyone tried this in game?
love the editing explaining the movesets and the ev spreads.. kudos... more of this please
One thing I love about Wolfe is that he's honest and yet humble, like if he's outplaying his opponent he won't shy away from that fact but if his opponent plays well or Wolfe gets lucky he'll point it out, and it's so obviously genuine when he compliments people, idk it's just refreshing
A gracious winner and a gracious loser. Good sportsmanship all around.
It’s nice to see you upload more often! Keep up the good work Wolfey!
GREAT JOB EDITING!!! This struck the perfect balance of cutting out all the slow Pokemon animations and showing the entire battle. thanks :)
I love this long format tournament videos, I can’t get enough of them!
Now imagine this team, but with a Groudon that rips through the opponent team with Precipice Blades instead of Torkoal
But I like the Turdle😢
It would be worse. Groudon being legal would mean other ubers would be legal. Even with the harvest ability, I doubt exeggutor would be able to keep up with the raw offense uber mons tend to have.
The last few videos have been genuinely some of the best edited videos I’ve seen lately! Whoever/whatever your editing team has been trying out recently is super funny, well put together and seamless. Loving the content as always ❤
I really love the depiction of the stats of your pokemon! Keep the quality work up :)
i LOVE these kinds of videos. i learn so much in them and especially watching you use that skill in practice with gameplay!
Love your videos wolfey! Remembering watching your first VGC win!
I like the little change in editing style it feels more natural (also haha funny palm tree)
Pokemon from a pro pov like yours makes my brain hurt. Happy u simplify it. When i play pro levels are something ill never be prepared for. Anticipating your opponents next 3 to 4 moves is elite. But u showing things like what scarf choice and all these other options do really engages me into every video. Youre top tier bro not only at the game but content n story telling
i've tried quite a few times, and after watching your videos for so long, and putting a bit more elbow grease into it, I managed to build a team and start playing pokemon showdown. It's really fun! thanks Wolfey!
Love how you commentate, i have gone through 3 of these while painting my nursery and feel like I dont miss much
"I keep not being able to show off Exeggutor cuz i win too quickly"
Causal flex lol
Great video, love the editing for this one showing all of the matches from stream
The teambuilding section of this video was so interesting, especially when you talk about how you decide to choose different mons. I wish there were more videos like it or it was longer.
Random video idea but you should have all the teams you’ve used in tournaments over the lifecycle of Scarlet/Violet and see how they rank compared to each other. Maybe round robin style battles or even just a side by side on paper comparison with some breakdown.
FOSSIL FIGHTER MUSIC EXPLAINING RAGING BOLT MAKES ME HAPPY
These kind of videos are incredibilbly fun ti Watch, I don't even play Pokemon competitevely but the commentary you provider and the hype you build around these tournaments really hook me up. I want a lot more !
The fact that Wolfes favorite Pokemon is weak to both of Incineroars STABs is some incredible environmental storytelling
Okay, the Fossil Fighters music in the video is incredibly based.
I wanted to like scovillain so bad man. They did my boy dirty with that movepool
Agreeeeee
I really love how the section where your killing flutter mane, then immediately add it to your team, it’s so funny
These drawing thumbnails are always God level you should never change them like the one in the Articuno video
The Fossil Fighters music goes unreasonably hard
The production value on this video seems super high! Keep up the good work man!
Honestly, building a team around one idea, or one mon is such a fun exercise. Id be really interested to see how people build a team around thier favorite mon, thatd be really interesting
High production value wolfe, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Past bed time watching this… we breakin’ the sleep circadian rhythm with this one!
Editing on these videos is always so good and so funny. S/o to your team!
Havent play pokemon in over a decade. But i love this tournament videos. Some of the best content on youtube. And this team, my god, this team is ridiculously op
I’m not even a VGC player, I play singles, but I just find these videos so fascinating hearing your team building process
Looks like you put all your eggs into one basket…
So happy this turned into a video! I tried to watch the livestream but the timing didn't work out.
The fossil fighters music around the 10 minute mark when talking about past paradox pokemon made me so unbelievably happy. So glad my favorite childhood game is getting recognition.
Wolfey is the very best, like no one ever was! In VGC he wins them all, from Players Cup to Worlds! He has fans across the land, cheering by his side! Use Wolfey Blast to understand the power that’s inside!! WOLFEY GLICK! USE WOLFEY BLAST! (The best is he) HE WINS ALL THE VGC! WOLFEY BLAST! (Ooh we are the fans) OF THE BEST WIDEO MAN! WOLFEY GLICK! USE WOLFEY BLAST! (A trainer so true) HAS WIDEOS ON CZcams! HAS THE WORLD CHAMP DIFFERENCE TOO! WOLFEY GLICK! USE WOLFEY BLAST (Use Wolfey blast) WOLFEY GLICK!
I sang along in my head lol, great lyrics!
U need help?
@@flea1997 Nah I’m good thanks 😊
come up for air bro
I've not read something that made me cringe more. 👏
Wolfey oiled up when?
I second this
I third this
I fourth this
I fifth this
I sixth this
Amazing performance with this team from Wolfey! And amazing editing from the editor! The editor was on point with all the edits! 😂
This is such a small detail but love that you played the fossil fighters battle music when taking about raging bolt
11:10 omg i loved that
Gotta say that the miniatures of your last videos in old Pokémon style are great
I don't know how you do it, but every Pokémon you use, looks sooooo gooooood! Keep up the good work!
I swear Wolfey always has such amazing choices in background music during the whole video
Aww hell yeah another video of Wolfe using a weird ass team!
I've been a big executor fan since red and blue, and used it a good bit in sword/ shield, too. Glad to see you keep showing it love
I gotta say Wolfey, your bond with Exeggutor is pretty damn strong and the fact that you managed to make it work at the World Championships nonetheless is a testament to that. ❤️
I’m likely a complete amateur compared to you when it comes to competitive play, but I got inspired to making my own team for the Gen. 7 Battle Tree years ago after first hearing how you managed to make Exeggutor of all Pokémon an utter success. My team focused around utilizing the Pokemon Kommo-O, which I had grown quite attached to from playthroughs and some online play using it. Watching you coming up with the right teammates for your Exeggutor reminded me very much of the steps I took to make my Kommo-O team absolutely wreck in the Battle Tree. It can’t get a 100+ win streak or anything (at least I haven’t tried to yet), but it’s able to reach Battle 50 in Doubles format and I’m proud enough for it accomplishing that feat.
I RECOGNIZE THAT FLUTE ANYWHERE 12:14
Please enlighten me
@@derekschmitz1 it's from legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom, colegera's battle theme
Man I love when you make these kinds of teams, always fun and refreshing. I'd love to see you do something like this with bastiodon. Keep it up wolf, love the content
the way Wolfey predicts some turns is just insane.. Thats over a decade of experience for you.
11:09 amazing
2 things 1. This video is incredibly well made 2. WHY IS YOUR FAVOURITE POKEMON EXEGGUTOR
I just want to say that I dropped pokemon for a few years now, and watching your videos made me play Violet, and it's being so fun. The feeling of discovering the treasures of ruin was something that I didn't felt for so long. Seeing new pokemons, discovering their evolutions and playing the game blind after years of seeing everything before playing was an amazing experience. Thanks Wolfey, for reawakening the love that I always had for this franchise (sorry for the English, not my first language)
Great editing and amazing job to you as well wolf
Winning a tournament with what you want and not what's more viable is peak Pokemon player move
Could you enter a tournament with my favorite Pokémon, Alolan Raichu please? 🥺
Ayy you actually did the Exeggutor team!! Really great video as always man, happy you used your favorite Pokemon
That Fossil Fighters music in the raging bolt introduction was very smart well done editor
Using your Favorite Pokémon is better than using the Competitively best Pokémon
Strong pokemon, Weak pokemon
I wonder if anyone’s favorite Pokémon is incineroar
Ok Karen 😜
Agreed
My favorite pokemon is encore valiant and last respects basculegion
no views after 25 seconds, wolf fell off
You know views don't track in real time shitter
So true lol
Wolfey explaining why he used tornadus on his team meanwhile, me jaming to colgeras theme.
Wolfey when his opponent doesn’t immediately make a game-blundering misplay:
“Yeah this is actually looking kind of bad for me”
Man, I sure do love those tournament breakdowns!
Wolfey has become my favorite CZcamsr for 2024, all these long form videos about his tournament teams are very entertaining!
i remember watching this live and it being one of my favorite teams i’ve seen from wolfe as of recently. the power and flexibility it has is insane ❤❤ (makes me wanna try a similar team style w walking wake ~)
I love these videos I get so invested and perfect for listening to in the background at work while trying to keep productive
Randomly hearing music from Fossil Fighters in the video made my day. Love the video as always!
Dude ngl, listening to this while shiny-hunting or doing quests in some games is such a vibe.
