The ddlc reference was on point.
Wolfey you should bring back the double round strat with alpha rad, also good video
seriously. you pokemon youtubers need to stop advertising pay to win gamble ios games. the audience is propably rather young and its a thing nobody needs. i know getting money is important for the content but at least get some vpn shit or some games that dont have addictive gambling paytowin mechanics.
@@thereverent117 sponsorships decide who they want to sponsor. If Wolfey doesn't get a VPN sponsorship he can't do much about it. A 2 minute ad that directly supports the creator is fine imo, especially if it is a quality video like this one
@@thereverent117 Given how he makes no effort to sound like he isn't just reading it off a cue card while bored out of his mind, I'll excuse him. That sort of middle finger to the people paying for your exist is always hilarious.
I love this team because it means that Wolfe looked at Delcatty and it's terrible ability and was like "yeah It can make the most vile team in vgc history"
*looked
Just imagine what happens with this team and terrestrialisation. Just turn gothatelle into a ghost type and gg
I’ve always loved Haunter because I didn’t have anyone to trade with to get Gengar lol
@@VRKyurem haunter has a better design anyways is how I’d cope lol
@@voxol744 but there’s no delcatty
“One of the things I’m most excited about in this game” He says, emptier than ever
Yeah, it's the sort of thing where I roll my eyes at the ad portion but I don't really mind because the man has to pay bills, so I just ignore the ad and enjoy the video
* the cup is half empty/full *
W: There is a cup
@@tarabelle7716 this is probably the greatest comment on the internet
The game looks pretty cool to me, tbh. Would be convinced to play if he was more enthused about it.
@@Francis... but he is generating more attention by speaking so lowly and Wolfie is always diff when it comes to things like this
I find it impressive that Gastly, Haunter AND Gengar have at some point absolutely dominated in their own respective metas at some point in time.
Based pokemon evolution line. My personal favorite pokemon is Gengar.
@@spectropollo1262 w opinion. My buddy just got a gengar tat and it’s sick
@@spectropollo1262 as a guy with Gengar PB, you are a 100% right and gengar is the GOAT
@@spectropollo1262 Haunter has the best visual design in my opinion
@@cornixdemetrius7883I agree! But after using Gengar in runs and games, Gengar is just sooo awesome
16 seconds in and I can see where this is going....
truly one of my favorite VGC moments this team was so evil
I watched that video like 2 days ago lol
I like onions.
Glad to see Wolfe gets to do sponsorships for games he's this passionate about
it sounds like he’s talking in 0.5 speed 😂
It feels like he is beeng pointed at with a gun to say it XD
@@lordnoobiest6578 probably because they require it to be at least X time (like 2 minutes usually). And he didn’t have enough to say about it
He sounds like he genuinely love the game.......not at all like he reading it from a paper!!!!!
This is a pretty dominant strategy in Balanced Hackmons as well, using Normalize Mega Gengar with Entrainment. I actually used Soak on some of my Pokémon in order to try and counter it.
In gen 8 you use dragapult instead
Soak simply changes the type to Water, how could it counter Normalize?
@@kmwchen gengar becomes water type. No longer immune to normal
@@kmwchen the opponent loses it's immunity against normal
That way it neutralizes the normalize strat.
@@kmwchen Soak makes the target water type - so they would no longer be immune to normal attacks.
This strategy is evil and I love it. I especially love how Delcatty actually fits onto the team -- I love cat Pokemon, but Delcatty is definitely not something most people want on their team.
She's good in PMD tho, double slap spam and cute charm cheese ;)
I caught a high-level Skitty/Delcatty early in ORAS and using it felt pretty satisfying lol
pfp checks out
@@Crinjal_2611 seriously the pokemon meta is so obnoxious
That was the most soulless ad spot I’ve ever seen. Comedy gold.
The Garbodors ran an assist delcatty set to pull skill swap in singles, then switch in a mega gengar to shadow tag the opponent and set up however he wanted
Love that guy! I wish I could support him more
@@obiwancannoli1920 we all do, he is truly the most wholesome smogon player to grace this earth.
Yeah
poland strong
@@Aeoxmusic your face is irrelevant
Man, that "Bloodline ad" was clearly jus a check.
Cuz you sound soooooooo excited and hyped for it Wolfe. Lol 😂
Wolfey really posting while at NAIC. What a legend.
NAIC?
NAIC?
@@MasterPigeonXD it's a Pokemon championship
North American International Championship. Last and biggest VGC tournament of the season before Worlds
@@ClockworkMango oh cool
This is the third (iirc) Wideo about the Normalize lock Wolfe has made, and I fully recommend watching the other two (as well as the nugget bridge video of him doing it).
Link them please!!!
Hehe wideo. It sounds so wholesome and cute
@@nickchabot1302 It’s how Wolfe says video, so it’s become a running joke in the community.
Nike Chabot discovered uwu speech that day
The title should have been:“Haunter HAUNTED a huge tournament. Here is how“.
Quite the missed opportunity
True, he hadn't missed the opportunity, he can change the title at any time.
I remember a while back when you talked about your 'most evil game/team ever' (not sure which one it was). I was forever scarred by that, and after seeing you've posted a video about Haunter, I can only cry and giggle in the corner of my room as the repressed trauma begins to resurface.
I thought it was odd when he made that wideo somewhat recently, but looking back, that specific wideo is 2 years old already!
I just happened to watch the vid 'the most evil way to win a pokemon game' this morning. I didn't expect another one lol
@@nielsvanderkroef2048 it wasn't this morning but I watched the video too. Fairly recently.
i love this editing, it feels like game theory meets pokemon and i vibe with it
I really loved the story, I figured out the main gimmick as soon as you mentioned normalize, but it was still really fun to see the thing as a whole
I saw that match on Nugget Bridge before and it was hilarious
This channel is criminally underrated and deserves more subs
Yeah man only 1% of his viewers are subbed
the way wolfe constructs these videos in a way for anyone to understand is beyond me and it’s a talent that is hardly ever seen amongst not only pokemon but any subject, that is the true world champ difference
Hey do you have pokemon shield? or a sweet aplle? i really need one
This is genuinely one of the most cool and unique teams I've ever seen in competitive
Except the haunter strat wasn't really utilised, politoed and kingdra do most of the work ..
"But who would ever create a team as malicious as this in the first place? It was me"
At this point Wolfey is pretty much an anime villain telling his genius master plan
That reveal is unexpected and I love it
I mean, he is the Perish Trap guy...
“The list of Pokémon that can get away with not running any normal moves and still being any good is just Regieleki.” That’s… distressingly true.
Geomancy RestTalk Xerneas tho
@@hollylucianta6711 Xerneas is its own beast. And besides, now that Zacian exists, Xerneas can’t get away with *anything.*
I'm more surprised to see a top team featuring Delcatty rather than an Haunter making it to the top
I was gonna say the same thing
I love Haunter, but I failed to understand WHY Haunter. The way it's presented in the video, it seems it was only about having 2 ghost-types out for immunity. Couldn't it have been any ghost-type? All the talk about moves emphasizes Gengar. The part that brings in Haunter then goes on to show the next step is for Gengar to take Normalize back. Haunter doesn't even have a role in the battles at the end. What does Haunter actually do? He's just sitting there. Menacingly.
same evo line, also both having access to skill swap and role play. essentially having 2 gengars when the setup is successful.
As far as I understand, you can only pick 1 of each pokemon. This setup would need 2 gengars essentially, but you cant have 2 gengars. Since pokemon that arent fully evolved and dont have eviolite are often the ones being asked about, he explained it. Not amazingly, to be fair, but Haunter is the odd one out here, even though Gengar is doing the heaviest lifting.
So basically, you need 2 Gengars, but you cant have 2 Gengars, hence Haunter.
It's a clickbait title.
Why not Haunter?
@@33pandagamer The strat uses Gengar more heavily than Haunter. To mention Haunter but not Gengar in the title is disingenuous.
It’s always interesting when a non-final evolution has an advantage the final can’t meet. I’ve always thought haunter’s design was spookier than gengars too so this makes me extra happy. Keep up the quality stuff man, also I saw what you were doing with the sponsorship;)
I just used an eviolite will-o-wisp hex strength sap Galarian Corsola in a ghost only run of Sword and Shield and it was my best Pokémon.
I just watched the highlight video of this from a couple years ago yesterday! So to see this more in depth version I’m stoked!
I remember seeing this team when I was younger and legit thought it was the coolest thing ever. Thank you for making a video about it!
Yours is the only non-piano related channel I'm sub'd to, Wolfey 😉
Gengar got so blown by your sick skills, Mega Evolved and got the Shadow Tag from Gothithelle himself.
This was a super fun story, and a huge improvement upon last video in terms of details. Love it!
Wolfey, your channel is getting more and more fun every day. The editing is amazing. Keep doing this S2
Love these frantic story time breakdowns of teams! The quality of these videos is insane!!!
Fantastic video! Loved how to talked not only about the Pokemon and team but also went over the tournament and how the games went!
Real ones already know what's about to happen! 👀
Gotta give Wolfey's editor mad props here. The visuals were just as much fun to watch as it was to listen to Wolfey explain this insane strat.
I love these videos about offbeat teams because I love feeling all the pieces slowly fall into place as you describe each part.
I would love to see more videos covering some of the wild strategies you've used over the years! Maybe one big video/a few videos covering a handful of the more obscure individual mons you've used to support a team?
Love the video! Perfect explanation of the entire strategy and a good recap of the tournament to see how the strat worked out. Bravo!
I really love that Delcatty gets some love in this strategy. Skitty is my favourite Pokemon and seeing it's evolution being used in a strategy like this (even though its a very brutal one) just puts a huge smile on my face
Wolfe, I haven’t watched the channel In about a year (haven’t been playing myself) and holy cow! The growth and quality of videos is inspiring! Honestly made my day seeing how far the channel has come. You are an inspiration!
What an amazing concoction of a team! Congrats on your placing in that tourney. I vaguely remember Nugget Bridge. Good times!
I love hearing about Wolfey and Aaron's legendary battles!
The perfect VGC video: well edited, the most beautiful generation, a new and truly innovative team, great storytelling, writing, I think this comes together really damn well.
Wideo*
I’m still extremely new to competitive and I’m using your channel to learn it better, so a lot of strategies go over my head, but even me as a newbie realized the sheer brilliance of this strategy. Damn.
I love to see more of your strategies as an upcoming trainer having you as inspiration to cheese game
As soon as I saw haunter in the title I knew exactly what was up, this has to be one of my favorite VGC events ever
Wolf is either the protagonist or the villain in every tournament he plays in, and the scary thing is nobody knows which until his first game…
Neat analysis video! Might be neat to see more tactical tournament tales like this! Thanks for uploading!
My jaw dropped repeatedly when you started describing the strat. 🤯
...and now that I've reached the end, I just wanna applaud the overall presentation. Every word, the order the story's told in, even the title of the video are all carefully orchestrated to pull the rug out throughout the video to the very end. Bravo 👏
14:27 Aaron’s shiny Scizor reverts back to normal for a second 🔥
It’s hacked!!!!!!!
Thank you for such an informative and insightful ad read. I am very excited to see this game. This is a very fun game. I am very interested in building my own kingdom and strengthening my economy. I cannot believe it is free-to-play.
was genuinely glued to this entire video, well done!
I have been keeping up with you and Aaron Zheng since I first got into competitive pokemon nearly a decade ago. It is amazing to see how far both channels have come!
Haunter is my favourite pokemon. Glad to see he saw some competitive action! I also use a Haunter in my online battles team, because his special attack and speed are not much worse than Gengar and that is worth the swag :)
hey wolfe, i would love to see you use those wacky gimmicky teams on online current gen matches, i think it would be some very cool videos trying to get to masterball rank, or even getting to n. 1
I watched a video of it a few weeks ago. Details went over my head. Glad this is out
I’ve never been more entertained by competitive pokemon battles than from your videos. Your story-telling skill is also top tier entertainment ⭐️
Hey Wolfe, hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! 😊
I'd actually be super interested to see a video about Pokemon without coverage moves and how that would change the meta/buff and nerf certain types
The Meta would probably be more defensive as sweeping needs way more setup as you have to break through resits with just stab
These videos are super entertaining and I love the humor and style you use to tell them!
Great vid, really enjoyed it!
I still wait for a video "Vullaby/Deerling/Dunsparce dominated a tournament. Here's how" (my 3 favs)
I remember a similar strat in Balanced Hackmon, you could use Gengar mega, give him Spooky plate, Normalize, Judgment and Entertainment. Then you can give moves like Boomburst, Taunt, etc.
When a pokemon enter, just use Normalize, now it can't attack you, then use the stab boosted, plate boosted, 180bp Judgment which yes, is ghost type thanks to the plate, even though I have Normalize, then the opponent needs to switch, so I can either Normalize or Judgment, or even Taunt if I know they will switch to a pokemon with a strong status move. And also, this set counters one of the most powerful pokemon of this tier : Imposter Chansey, since even if he transform into me, all his moves are normal type, even Judgment, but I have my Ghost type Judgment which is super effective against his ghost type...
Love these types of vids! Keep up the great work!
love learning from these stories!!
Wolfe is playing NAIC now, hope for good run of form that he qualifies for world's❤️❤️
Let's wish him best of luck❤️❤️
The ad was so phoned it it was incredible, the first time I didn’t skip it
He sounds like an elementary schooler reading a presentation I loved it
I am loving this editing Mr Wolfey. Hope you can keep this style going!
Please do more of these. This is so cathartic.
lmao professor wolfey, just what we needed
also delcatty and skitty are very op in the mystery dungeon games, very fun to have on your team, a nightmare to face in a fair battle (nuke them before they get close)
this "here is how" series, for a lack of a better name for it, is great
The editing for your videos has really improved! I really liked the cute animations you included in some segments. Great work as always, Wolfey!
I very much enjoy your creativity when it comes to this game. I think creating your own teams and decks the most rewarding part of any CCG or game like this.
Aww, I was hoping that you'd talk about the Australian Regional won by Haunter...
Leave it to wolfe to commit the Pokemon equivalent of war crimes
Really liked this! It’s cool to hear about and gives a lot of insight which is also super nice :D I love learning so thanks!
Stories like this are great! Thanks for sharing!
I always thought haunter was such a cool design. Haunter feels more evolved than gengar. With his sharp visuals I love haunter so much.
i like them, they are a very spoopy ghost and purple
He's my spirit Pokemon. :P
@@skorupigo5544 yeah haunter feels so sharp and looks like hed just shred a bulbasaur
Same, I’ve never been Gengar fan, but haunted is so DAMN COOL
Probably because Haunter just looks more like an actual ghost than Gengar (save for its GMax form). Gengar is great in its own right, but Haunter is simply more of an ghost
If anything Delccaty is the mvp
I havent watched a wolfry vid in a while, but now im back, so glad to see how much his videos have upgraded. LESGOO
I like these type of your content much better than other ones, your explanation are really amazing and fun to watch....
This was very entertaining! Good job!
Love this video really like match analysis like this
hey wolfie, just wanted to say its been great watching your channel grow and gradually getting more and more views. you've found a style of artistry that I can really appreciate. Hope u keep goin man.
This was incredibly well done. I really enjoyed it. :)
the editing on these videos are just great!'
I'm subscribed out of pure respect for your skill and the way your so creative in such an entertaining way.
you can tell how excited he was for that ad read
Sick video. More teams like this plz
Hey wolfey, I used to be a competitive player some years ago. I started playing in 2014 after arash ommati's win and I studied vgc through nuggets bridge articles and videos. I saw your strategy and I immediately fell in love with you and now everytime I speak with someone about the competitive play, I always show them your strategy explaining how amazing I think the pokemon game can be. Thanks for you content and keep up the good work :)
Love your videos Wolfey!! Always so interesting and enjoyable ^__^
That was the best ad read I’ve ever heard. So much passion so much emotion. It brought a tear to my eye.
I love this series. Teach us more crazy strats from past years professor
This was awesome thanks wolfey
I remember the other more informal video you made about this match and knew within seconds of what this video was going to be about. So evil, I love it
10/10 editing, amd fun shit all around!
Wolfe! Just wanna say that your skill swap levitate into heatran play was what inspired me to play VGC
I really like this style of video! Keep it up!
this strat is my favourite strat of all time. It's the perfect example of using the element of surprise, as well as finding funky combinations of effects you wouldn't see in play by themselves.
I'm glad he talked about the tournament games in this video
