Does surf work with storm drain
@@rrb9233 yea if you have a storm drain pokemon beside your surf pokemon your storm drain pokemon gets a boost
Can’t wait for the giant monologue about Rapid Strike Urshifu!
Real

Yep
Same
You mean the 24 minute one? Because that happened already, lol
Wrong it’s Tera water incinaroar!
That damn cat haunts me
It's sooo funny every time this is one of the top comments. 😐
@@landler656grab a tissue tubbs
I'm surprised Dracovish isn't somewhere on this list. It seemed like he was Wolfey's favorite menace in Sword and Shield. Mr Fish may not be in SV right now, but he should at least be an honorable mention. Milotic also seems like it's always a popular and useful mon in lower powered formats.
@solitare4602 Dracovish wasn’t a threat on the competitive scene really. In the one world championship it was legal in, it didn’t even finish in the top 100. Hell I’m not even sure if anyone used it
He's only vounting VGC, no singles, so unfortunately we can't count it
@@2chin4u It's very strictly a one trick pony, seems like way too easy to shut down in VGC format.
Yeah but it was really fuckin funny when it was good for that short time
You got a point
17:20 I love the idea of the mighty lords of the land and the sea fearing a goofy fellow in a sombrero.
ah yes, rillaboom, the famed fourth tapu pokemon.
@@pander3975 The tapus are my favourite! I love Tapu Koko, Rillaboom, Indeedee-F, and Tapu Fini!
Tapu Bulu and Tapu Lele really showing off the L in their names
@@butlershurk7227vgc players not respecting tapu lele is crazy
one day yall will be taking those insane damage numbers
@@butlershurk7227 silly! you mean rillaboom, indeedee-f, pincurchin, and weezing-galar :)
But tapu bulu is my favorite tapu :(
Watching Aaron's Rotom miss 400 will-o-wisps still hurts. I can't imagine losing at worlds like that.
Ok I’ll relay too you as much bad luck
Imagine missing a chi yu heat wave by both opponents
Two turns in a row
Yeah this happened to me this morning
@@Oreca2005clicking non 100% accuracy moves feels horrible
“If it’s not 100% accurate, it’s 50%”
@@Oreca2005I really feel like the accuracy numbers lie to us. You get with one Sand Attack and suddenly you're moves are a coin flip.
I swear to God, Aaron's a better man than me cause if I was on his shoes I would have started throwing chairs at people after the third miss
Mirror B’s theme kicking in at the start of Ludicolo’s section is such a nice touch. I knew who was coming immediately. Absolutely iconic.
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
7:08 not the Flutter Mane named “Mind Goblin” 😂😂😂
Mind goblin?
@@luxiken6719"mind goblin' DEEZ NUTS!!!"
28:16 Ah yes, the other Tapus such as Tapu-Koko, Tapu-Lele and... **checks clipboard** Tapu-Rillaboom...
Tapu-boom sounds pretty decent tbh
tapu rilla, tapu weezing, tapu deedee, and tapu curchin
@@daniel6678 Don't forget Tapu don (hadron engine is just better electric surge)
Also known as tapu boom boom
@@daniel6678tapus from wish
The clip with Aaron is the most “if it’s not 100% accurate, it’s 50%” moment I’ve ever seen
Hail yeah
Haaaaiiiil yeah
Hail yeah my comrade
snow no
Hail yeah!!!!
I just wanna say I started competitive because of you, and this weekend I built my first ever doubles team and got to master ball rank! You're amazing and thanks for the content and inspiration !
Congrats dude, I'm building a team around regice
@@ChezBlosuse the six Regis 😂
@@Trevor-kc6zv none of them are good lmao
@@ChezBlos they are really fun tho and all UU
@@ChezBlos Mind sharing It? I too want to use Regice
For reference, it took wolfey 3 minutes and 5 seconds to talk about incineroar in a video about water types
If Mr. Fish isnt an honorable mention that imma be mad
Edit: I can't believe the guy who popularized Mr. Fish didn't even mention him.
I wasn't a Doubles Player in that gen, was he even that dominant?
VIDEO SPOILERS
I guess he wasn't mentioned because of results + lack of amount of time around
How do we tell him…
It’s just not that good sadly
Who is Mr. Fish?
@@Adrian-ze9uddracovish
28:18 I love how when he mentions the "Tapus" he includes rillaboom instead of tapu bulu 'cause no one prefers using it instead of the monkey.
I mean being 4x weak to poison is kinda ass
@@owenblount7334 that doesn't matter a lot. the only poison type that has consistently been relevant throughout the years is amoonguss which uses poison moves pretty rarely and even if he runs one then it's not that strong, and the only other relevant poison type right now is glimmora at 10% usage. also, the only other poison types that have ever been somewhat relevant were venusaur, mega gengar and maybe nihilego.
What grassy glide does to a mfker
The level of production on your videos is insane. Cool to see the progress you’ve made over the years and that the success of the channel is being funneled back into it.
Was hoping to see Blastoise mentioned based on the thumbnail, but I agree it isn't close to the best. It needs a good ability like charizard and venusaur, preferably something that synergizes with shell smash. I fully agree with your take on tapu fini, it is the answer to so many threats, really a swiss army knife pokemon. Also great in singles with taunt-calm mind-whirlpool-draining kiss.
But the thumbnail is Gyarados and Palkia…
@@Begeru it changed!
Blastoise should get a new hidden ability move that boost low accuracy moves by 20 hit points like 70 chanse to hit now are 90 chance to hit or 80-100 or 90-110 and also it should boost low accuracy water type move damage by 10-20 hit points, only then can Blastoise have a chanse to be more competitive, plus it would be good for Blastoise if it can run safe hydro pumps.
@@superplatinum there is 'no guard' ofcourse
Would be funny if there was an ability that boosted moves that arent 100% accurate by 1.5x@@superplatinum
yes please i WOULD enjoy an entire series of this for every type
Do Ice next.
Yes really.
That would be funny because the dark and fire typing would be the same video.
Five minutes of filler leading up to a 20 minute rant about Incenaror while the "one must imagine sisyphus happy" meme and song overlayed on top of it at 50% opacity
"if you paralyse your opponent and hit them with waterfall, you can make them very angry"
now that's a classic callback
Shakespeare monologue here we go
unfortunate

Not
Begin
This video was like 3 videos in one. Very fun and well written!
I actually got super happy to see gastrodon mentioned in this video as he is my all time favourite pokemon but because I never played competitive I didn't actually know how strong he would be considered, I'm glad to see my best boy can take the spot of one of the best ones :)
28:19 That Tapu Monke looking real nice with others
Tapu Rilla
“The other Tapu Pokemon.” 😂 Koko, Lele, and my favorite, Tapu Rillaboom
Tapu boomboom
Tapu translates into Holy...?
@@cxpKSipidk it seems like it's accurate...
I would love more videos of this format of what is the best *insert type* pokemon. I know wolfey does type related vids but i just really love this video lol
Great video. I would like to see Normal type next. I think a lot of useful Normal Pokemon have interesting kits or gimmicks (Smeargle, Ditto, Maushold, etc.) and would like to see the commentary around some of them.
I'm so here for this for every type ngl. These are perfect Saturday morning videos for me
I'm just waiting for the Bug type edition where he talks about how Charjabug is more competitively viable than Spidops until Volcarona eventually wins
If it’s not kyogre I’ll be very shocked backstabbed and quite possibly bamboozled
It'll be urshifu rapid strikes
Edit: nevermind I was wrong
@@cameronsharples2544 shouldn't have bet against the Fish
don't forget discombobulated, mind boggling and dumbfounded
@@guidomista7918The Fish ALWAYS wins
Would have been absolutely flabbergasted
Would love to see this become a series, would love to see the best ice/electric/dragon, etc pokemon lists
I cannot do anything but wonder if you have a team of 3 video editors or just one legend. Man this video is so well edited. Great job
Can’t wait to see Kyogre and Urshifu Rapid Strike mald.
Groudon is going to wish it had its primal form.Koridon and Miridon might resist Kyogre’s water attacks, but it can learn Ice Beam and lets not forget that there’s a certain fluttering fairy ghost that would happily take care of SV’s box art legendaries for them.
@@snapclub8751I also think that Miraidon is just as much partner to Kyogre as it counters it. Mainly that it's terrain doesn't clash with with rain and both pokemons liking to use Thunder. Not to mention Koraidon Resisting both Electric and Grass attacks that threaten Kyogre an Kyogre resisting Ice attacks as well as threatening ground attackers.
@@hamdepaf6686 Especially if Miraidon terras into a grass type to defend against ground but now also takes neutral to fire due to rain
@@PKshockwave I think Kyogre is a good Grass/Steel Terra itself.
I don't think Miraidon gains that much with a Grass Tera, especially cause it is still weak to Ice, I think a bug Tera might actually be the way if you want to make use of the rain.
@@hamdepaf6686 I predict most Kyogre will go for Tera-water for extra power.
Video idea: Pokémon that should have their abilities changed to those which suit them better design wise and will also make them better in battle.
Current example: Empoleon getting Competitive
Potential candidate: Flygon getting tinted lens, Kingler getting tough claws, etc.
Meganium DESPERATELY needs a new ability. Give it triage or something.
Hack mons r a wonderful thing especially when u play with folks who want to do just this game freak has made sloppy metas in gen 8-9 also replace useless ability’s on say furret runaway can just be fur coat
Kingler's sheer force is already really strong no need for change
@@andygeo7203 but it only gives boost to stabs...It has good coverage moves like X scissor and superpower which will also get boosted by tough claws and not sheer force (maybe high horsepower too I don't know though)
@@rasbar3830life orb. That's all I have to say
Loved the video, and hope you continue to do this for more types!
As someone who has a Kyogre plush, this makes me proud.
Love your content Wolfey!
The funny pineapple duck made the list of Pokes that were mentioned, and that's really all I could ask for. I can only hope more rain teams come up so we can dance together again.
4:14, wait it just hit me. Why is Rotom so small. I ain’t never seen no washing machine THAT small!?!?
Well you know size is a new mechanic lately obviously there’s alphas
But there’s tiny ones and giant ones
So the guy must be really lucky
Dude he is at least avarage. Man be careful what you call small!
Rotom might be small, but at least it has a great personality
@@chunky3480for the time.
in the anime, he's actually normal sized for a washing machine, same with the fridge form
There is something deeply hilarious about the chess move at 28:09 -- Its shot all epically and powerfully. But the move is blundering the queen
I've top cut a few decent sized limitless tours and placed high in the GC with Walking Wake recently and I gotta say it's incredibly powerful. Does what it does very well, quickly becoming my favorite water type of all time and wouldn't be suprised one bit if it becomes a dominant piece in restricted formats as you predict in will be
28:18 A yes I Remembered when a gorilla destroyed a mall in alola and when he fought with the uc It was spectacular
frantically scribbled down “never bet against the fish”
I’m glad gyarados has finally gotten some recognition! Gyarados has been my favorite Pokémon almost since I got into Pokémon about 9 years ago and I have been using it in ranked battles for a while now and it’s been pretty good. I use it more as a sweeper (utilizing earthquake with a stellar Tera) with the moxie ability.
This is honestly the best video you’ve ever made. Super entertaining and fun to watch and we’ll written
I was so sad not to see any Milotic mention... 😢
Milotic can be used tho. If you have an incineroar weak team, u can use milotic effectively as it cam provide speed control with Icy Wind, burn enemies with Scald, use Flip Turn to pivot, even heal its teammates with Life Dew. Pair that with Garchomp and Ogerpon and u got a decent squad. U can even include a Trick Room mode and make Milotic a dangerous Attacker after a boost
@@Whatever_Oliver I'm aware--Milotic just was not mentioned in the video. 😜
I’m sad that Primarina and Quaquaval weren’t mentioned😢 They’re such great Pokémons
@@Ashtobflorman1997primarina is a god damn beast when paired well
Why would you even expect it though?
I knew who it was going to be right from the start. But if we are talking about favorite water-type Pokémon, I’ve gotta go with Froakie, Wartortle, or Araquanid
Wartortle is goated
Palafin, Feraligatr & Basculegion r my favorites out of the oceans of Water-type Pkmn.
You should cover the best steel types next, steel being one of if not the best type in the game and having a plethora of great options to pick from
Honestly I'd love to see Ghost type next as I just LOVE that typing!
Wooper obviously
Ah,a man of culture I see
The greatest Pokémon of all time
As if there was even a doubt
Woop woop
Buffkip or buff mudkip sadly is more able in combat
My favorite Water-Type is also my favorite in general: Primarina. Although, I did try out Choice Scarf Rapid-Strike Urshifu in the recent online competition, and that went... ok at best. Too many people had Wellspring Ogerpon for my taste
I loved the Koll's analogy at the start of the video 😅❤
28:00 I absolutely love this depiction 🤣
Been playing pokemon for nearly 23 years, it’s only thanks to Wolfe I’ve managed to finally understand a whole new dimension to Pokémon, I can finally understand competitive thanks to your incredibly engaging and informative videos, my only goal with pokemon has always just been shiny hunting but now thanks to these videos I can actually understand some of the more complex mechanics I’m now finding myself actually enjoying the building process of making a competitive team! Thank you Wolfe and keep up the amazing work! 💙
The editing on the eyes is very scary, keep it up
I’d love if you talked about the best Bug types! I know they’re often considered the worst offensive type and often have poor stats but that’s what I think could actually make the video interesting; talking about which bugs manage to do really well despite their bad typing (also I like bug types I’m biased hehe 🐞)
28:18 hahahaha other tapus one got replaced xd also my favorite water pokemon is blastoise and my all favorite starter too also awsome video man
So…we not gonna talk about Dracovish?
it's only really good in singles tbh
28:20
"A good tool against the other tapu pokemon."
Rillaboom: Guess I'm just here for the thrill
Thrillaboom
Pincurrchin: Eventually, you get used to it!
Tapu boom boom
The editor needs a raise for this gem of a video.
Love your analysis videos. If you plan to make another one, it would be nice to do grass next, since you've already covered fire and water.
28:19 ah yes, rillaboom. my favorite tapu
Giving Tapu Boom Grassy Surge was a massive L for Tapu Bulu.
I don't see how it can't be RS Urshifu or Kyogre.
I hope I'll be surprised!
Edit : well, I wouldn't ever have guessed the top2.
Sad to not see Milo btw 😢
Fini kinda took a break in gen 8 because the lack of worlds until it was allowed with restricteds (and it didn't match the D-Max fueled offense teams well), and it's not in gen 9 (yet?) so it's kinda easy to forget but it is an incredibly consistent mon
16:55 I have never played nor watched much pokemon XD That's me whenever I watch your channel my dude
A 30min video centered around my favorite type? Perfect video 💙💧
3:15 daddy incin is always right Wolfey glad u understand your role in his world.
hehehe
28:06 "For players who value being in control, this is a godsend" shows stock footage of someone hanging their queen to a pawn
(the pawn can't possibly be pinned; there's no rook on the file and the light-squared bishop is just barely visible on the other side of the board)
And that absolute blunder was entirely in the player's control!
Was just building a TTar team and needing a water type. Perfect timing Wolfey 👍
Hey Wolfey! I love your stuff but I normally don't comment. Just anted to drop by to say your editing has gotten really, really good lately! Keep it up champ 😎
16:57 *raises hand* yes i understand this please continue
This was really good. I'd love to see best ground, fighting, or steel type!
Psychic, ghost, and dragon might be good too.
i feel like dracovish at least deserved a mention
This is fantastic content with great information. I LOVE this stuff. Please Wolfey, we need more.
I agree, it’s Finnion
An extremely close call with Magikarp & Feebas. 😝
Nah it's cursola
And Luvdisk(?)
26:50 wolfey face glitches through the matrix 😮
Happy to see my boy Ludicolo get a mention! But my favorite water Pokemon is Feraligtr!! 🐊
That Clone High reference, Top notch. Thank you.
3:35 Its true, I never used that washing machine again 😢
I would love a video like this for every typing!
I like watching this type of video cause, like, i'm more of the type of guy who likes pokemon based on their appearance, but it's fun seeing what pokemon are strong or weak to some of my favourite pokemon
On one hand I would be curious to see a video exploring the best dragon or psychic types next since so many legendaries and pseudo-legendaries etc fall into those groups, but given how much you’ve made a point of the terrible-ness of bug, that could be fun too.
Of course once you’ve made your 18 videos in this series, you should rank of the #1 choices from best to worst!!
Blue tinktaton jumpscare 5:37
I've been trying to find anybody else talking about this, was this modded?
@@mikecharecky2818 I thought it was a glitch instead.
I'm hoping for videos on the other types eventually as well!
Cause this is great.
Primarina and Tapu Fini are probably my favorite water types. Water/Fairy is just such an insane type combo, I love using them.
azumarill too
Love your videos I learn so much, please make more about the relevant pokemon in the scene.
Therapist: "Big eyes Wolfey is not real, he can't hurt you."
Big Eyes Wolfey: 30:22
Did you see in 18:10 ? He has AI eyes 👁👁
I think it's so he can read the script
YOOOO MR.B MUSIC FROM COLOSSEUM FOR LUDICOLO IS GENIUS!
Nice detail using Mirror B's Retro Groove
Loved the kingdra shoutout! Never understood why she doesn’t get more use
I can think of a great water type pokemon. Rapid strikes urshifu im sure that wolfie will completely agree and not have a mental brake down over this fact
I predicted some of the picks, but no Dracovish surprised me
This is a really cool series. I would love to see the best Bug, ghost, or ground type.
I’m new to this channel and I love the edits & the video overall!
New subscriber! 😊
18:09 what’s going on with Wolfe’s eyes here? 😂 a few other times as well! It’s like there’s some filter on them making them grow/shrink/move/change shape? 😂
I was thinking this the whole time lol! It look’s almost like a deep fake wolfey haha
There's a program for streamers that edits the face so that the streamer is always looking at the camera and I think it's that. It's specifically for when streamers are looking at chat or 2nd monitors so I assume wolfey is reading off a script and the program is making him keep eye contact.
I’d love to see a best Ground type video
The best type in the game with the most varied strong mons
"Holy shit" -Heatran, probably
Well spots #1 and #2 are basically confirmed immediately, being Groudon and Lando (T but might combine), the 3rd slot will be interesting. This gen we got Ting Lu which made some waves and is so hard to get rid of, Garchomp and Excadrill have been menaces historically with their earthquakes (probably chomp #3 tbh)
Chose Squirtle as my first Pokémon way back in Red version, and he’s been my favorite Pokémon ever since, along with Dratini, who was so stupid to catch back then but I love the little noodle.
Water has always been my favorite type, though poison and steel have definitely risen in my estimation in recent years. There are far too many to list them all, but Kingler, Dewgong, Walrein, Relicanth, and Azumarill are some of my other favorites. And there are just so many Water types 😂
Great video! But was surprised there was no mention of Dracovish?!!?
Tapu Fini is the best water pokemon of all time in my opinion. We really need the Tapus in the meta to have more terrain control and counterplay to Rillaboom and Incineroar
Also for Tapu Koko to enable future paradox mons lol, until Miraidon is legal
gastrodon is my favorite mon of all time i was happy when i saw it
Hisuian Samurott is my favorite. It might not be amazing, but it looks sick and I love it's signature move!
16:48
Since you asked for feedback, I personally understand the strategy even hardly ever playing competitive pokemon (I have played at most 10 games in Super Ball tier in SV with my playthrough team). This is my personal point of view for the matter, but I accept others who do not understand the concept
I really love how every time rotom wash is mentioned, THAT clip of Aaron will always be there
Btw why is dracovish not in the video? Just curious
That moment is Aaron's own personal "What did I say, Braiden!?"
@@CosmicPlatonix lmaooo
Even when onix is not mentioned this clip will always to be one of the best fails ever
Dracovish hasn’t seen much competitive play and I think due to that Wolfey probably didn’t see any reason to talk about why that might be.
Although on paper a choice scarf Dracovish should be really good.
@@2chin4u it's a demon
I've seen people use it with rain and choice band
@syan2240. I took a look back at the 2022 World Championships, which was the only world championships that Dracovish was legal in.
And Dracovish wasn’t even in the top 100 teams, and a quicker scroll showed that it was nowhere to be found.
If the best players in the world don’t think it’s good, then why even consider it for best water type?
Having not watched the full video yet, I’m excited to see Urshifu be number one
How do we tell him...
Shouldn’t have bet against the fish
Interesting with no mention of the great Dracovish, Scourge of Galar
