And, by trapping your opponent in with sand tomb, you bypass Yawn’s own weakness - it takes two turns to activate. So, he just finds it cool how Sand Tomb/Yawn into a double Protect has effectively the same outcome as Spore, but it also works on Grass types and Safety Goggles

@@keysmash_roa This is because attacks without secondary effects do not get boosted by Sheer Force, but they'll still receive the damage boost from the Life Orb. In this example Earthquake receives only the 1.3x boost from the Life Orb. However, if Earthquake _did_ have a secondary effect to negate, it would receive the 1.3x boost from both Sheer Force and the Life Orb. My guess is that Sheer Force treats the Life Orb recoil as the move's effect, therefore negating it.

@@prismatic_pulsebut even that doesn’t quite explain it, as if Life Orb was treated as a secondary effect universally, you would never take any Life Orb recoil w/ a Sheer Force pokemon, even using a move like earthquake. It’s like the game only negates the life orb recoil if it can bundle up the Life Orb damage with an ACTUAL secondary effect, in which case it negates both. Still, that may not be exactly what’s happening under the hood - it’s just SUCH a weird interaction (it may well be a bug)

Read some Marxist theory to learn about how WolfeyVGC exploits his employees while getting rich from their labor. He’s got 16 incineroar body pillows that I know of and probably more. They aren’t cheap. His editors and writers got a Breloom plushie and an old Tamagatchi between the 5 of them.

Loving wolfey's arc. Hates incineroar. But after the "Midcineroar" allegations, wolfey helps incineroar reclaim his crown, and the two have been inseperable ever since. This has truly been a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

People probably think that cheering for Wolfe is the usual easy thing to do in competitive pokemon. But IMHO we are cheering for the underdog. Ray Rizzo is sitting at the top of Mt silver by himself, and we really need someone to contest him. Amazing video, as always. The quality on these are unreal

But the competition in pokemon was MUCH worse back then as compared to gen 6 onwards Im pretty sure he ranks Wolf above himself as well though that might be his humility.

Kudos for not going into the drama surrounding a certain player in this tournament. He's a pretty young guy who believed in and shared some pretty fucked up worldviews, but has later apologized and seemed pretty remorseful about it all. As you said, the mental game kinda goes when you worry about what people are talking about you online and, in fairness, enough people have shared the drama as is. We don't need to get deeper into all of that, especially since the aforementioned player has since taken a step back from competitions and seems to genuinely seek to improve, not as a trainer, but as a person. Trans rights are human rights, if a mushroom can win a regional you can do anything you set your mind to!

I agree. I forgot about this drama until I seen some comments on this video and I'm really glad Wolfey did not let it overshadow his video. Espically that a lot people attacked that player's skill even though he was able to get to the finals and having been someone who watched the match having no idea who the guy was, I thought the same as wolf. He looked so tilted espically in the second battle, and if you look at turn one of round three when Orgepon goes down he just kinda gives up. When I watched it, it looked like he was strong with Orgepon but as soon as Wolf knocked it out the pressure seemed to get to him. Saying he is a bad player isnt true, although I do disapprove of trying to pass tilt and misplays off as intentional. The other stuff is obviously not great but people being able to learn and grow is more important than punishing them forever. I think almost everyone is guilty of making conclusions or opinions based on bias experiences or lack of knowledge.

Hi Wolfey !! I'm not the type to comment on videos, ahah, but I just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. You're the one who got me acquainted with the Pokemon Competitive format, though I don't think I have the time to really study up and try competitive myself. I still find the content enjoying and really interesting to watch. I love watching people coming up with new strategies as the game evolves with time. I was watching the tournament on stream, and rooted for you the entire time !! I just wanted to cheer on the silly little guy who introduced me to a side of the community i've never been in touch with before. I really admire you for staying humble and wanting to have fun while still trying to win your matches. The finals was CRAZY ahahah I really loved it and you deserved your victory. I just wanted to thank you for putting amazing content out here (thank you to the editors as well) and never missing an occasion to make me laugh !! :) If by any chance you happen to make a stop in France for a tournament, make sure to mention it SOMEWHERE because I WILL be there ahahahah. That's very unlikely to happen, but I'll still watch the tournaments you take part in on stream !! Just know that you have a silly little fan in France, and that your community will keep on growing !! Thank you for being goofy! And keep having fun with the game ! also take time to rest you don't want to have another burnout lol

I appreciate Wolfe keeping it classy. Stating his position on the issue by mentioning Trans Rights in a previous video, then in this video simultaneously conveying his disapproval by never mentioning Neil’s name in the video, while also being compassionate by highlighting how humans can make mistakes and that Neil’s terrastalization mistake was reasonable due to the high pressure of the situation- going even further to humanize that by highlighting his own mistake a moment prior. Honestly for an issue that has the potential to ruffle so many feathers, I really appreciate how Wolfey navigated it here. 👏
