Ranking EVERY Pokemon Champions by how good they are at Competitive Pokemon?! 

Hmmmmmmmmmmm why comment in here

make a AND THERE I WAS shirt!

WolfeyVGC I’m the best Pokémon trainer 😉 Watch my videos! I post daily! I just uploaded a road to rank... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OZlv3c7x2dw.html

You forgot Hau! His team has some fast pokemon in noivern, raichu and tauros, the rest is pretty slow (starter, flareon, crabominible) you have the tailwind option with noivern or if gen 8 max lighning for raichu, or even speed swap raichu for speed controll but no trick room, tauros has 2 great abilities, and if you want to be gimmicky you can even frost breath with crabominible to activate the anger point. Having no rock resits hurts the team defensively, on a pretty offensively based team. In general i dont think its amazing, but you can do things with it. I would put it in c or d

Jivansh Malik watch my battles

lmaoo

Sidney J. Duffy **cries in espeon**

Nisha Shakya well eevee did

Nisha Shakya just replace espeon with lapras like he did in every game after the originals.

Best part was when Wolfe got #1 with Red's team

They had to give Flint Infernape just so he'd have more than 1 fire type

Have people forgotten about rapidash and magmortar?

@@rjbse Rapidash was not even decently good unless it was over leveled with lot of full restores

@@rjbse you couldn't get Magmortar until the post game in DP. Pt fixed that.

@@rjbse rapidash isn't even that good (even though I'm using it for my pokemon pearl run) and even in Pokemon Platinum, the only fire types are legit houndoom, flareon, and magmortar pre post game. the type variety in gen 4 was kinda lop sided with barely any electric types (shinx line, pachirisu, pikachu), and dragon types (gibile line)

🤔

Blue with Tyranitar: "It''s time for revenge!"

Red actively went throughout Johto mandating a limit on Tyranitar? He's like, the wildlife warden now? He's 10 years old 😂

@@Aflay1 Tbf what’s anyone gonna do, stop him? Everything is solved by Pokémon battles, and he’s very simply the best at it /hj

I never realized this until I played through Crystal with the intention of having Tyranitar on my team this one time, and saw the results myself when I got there. Tyranitar one shot Pikachu, Charizard, and Espeon easily.

@person person I actually think Leon's team was well put together. Lot of coverage and move sets that cover natural weaknesses. Having said that, I may have some bias because I really like Leon as a champion as well XD

@person person Dragapult would be really cool as his ace, but I still think Charizard fits better because it has more coverage. Plus, because of how well known it is, from the moment you see him you can tell he is going to be strong, but as Dragapult is a very rare late game Pokémon, it wouldn’t have that factor of intimidation.

@person person I don't like Leon because he's like the third or fourth person with a Charizard as the main Pokemon. First there was red. Ash's Charizard is also quite powerful. Alain also has an OP mega Charizard. Now even this guy has a great one. Yet Charizard is average and sometimes below average in real competitive play. The Pokemon has got enough pampering.

@@DYCEQUIRK I just dislike that he has Charizard as the main Pokemon. Honestly how much time would it have taken for them to analyse a good competitive pokemon which people like apart from Charizard?

@@JoshusBarber Actually no. Charizard has got more than enough pampering. It has a cool design, two mega evolutions , Pokemon champions use it. But the reality is that it sucks in competitive battle. I personally never struggled against Charizard. It's that type of Pokemon which can be quite easy to beat even if you're not very skilled.

Or pelipper, god knows hoenn’s full of them, they just didn’t have drizzle until Sun and moon.

wallace dies to freeze dry

Poor Wallace caught the wrong whale...

LOL

Just name the Kyogre "Wailord." No one will notice, trust me.

he has to do this wit leons team !

The fact that you can't even run almost all of these teams still bugs me.

some as in like...2 of them

I'd kinda wanna see him ladder with reds team

I came here to say this so I will bump this. Want to see.

Except Espeon

@@CelVini that's why I said his HGSS team instead of his GSC team. If we used his GSC team instead of his HGSS team, then you would be correct in saying that his Espeon would be the exception to having a full team of Pokemon that are capable of Gmaxing.

@@vjoe5389 technically, if he used an eevee instead, then yes his whole team could gigantimax, but as the team stands, yes, espeon is the only one that can't do that

@@gabethyrubenstein7984 Dunno if this is late or what, but in HGSS he actually doesn't have Espeon. It was cut for a Lapras to make it more representative of a Yellow playthrough.

@@Luzeldon tbh i always liked that more. Made it seem like that was his actual team he had from beating kanto

Damn that exp share

Also once you had Lucario,greninja,Venusuar or charizard or even xern it was over your pretty clear cut after that and you kinda just win the game

I didn't use the exp share though and I still beat her first try

Dataminers found out her Trainer AI is braindead. She was partly easy, cause she had the tactical Capabilitys of a Toddler. If she had Explosion, she would use it against a Gengar.

I remember fighting the steel elite four member more than I remember diantha

Nice profile pic bro

I don’t get it? Is that not its real name?

Agent Dandy nah it’s actually called primarina. or is it greninja? idk

Fatso no, it’s called greninja-but-it-looks-worse

I was more distracted by “Cinderachi” and “Dek-i-doo-ee”

NikkoVee singles is better than doubles

And brought stall to doubles haha

@@tomoriiiiiii why?

@@tomoriiiiiii incorrect js

Daring Iconoclast more fun. Also I just don’t like dynamax. It affects doubles more.

-dragon team- -flying team- HYPERBEAM TEAM H*LL YEAH

@@skygazer6082 only men of culture censor the word h*ll

@@TrulyAtrocious men of culture fuck yeah

He’s like that one preschooler in BW but he actually does have hyper beam

he do be firin his laser from his mouth

agreed

Definitely when you play this game as your second game.......

The thing is, Cynthia’s platinum team is arguably even better, with togekiss over gastrodon.

Gianluca Fazio same this is still my favorite Pokémon game too

Not knowing what Spiritomb was and getting hit with Embargo hurt my team when her attackers have perfect coverage against those with type advantage.

who's diantha

She's that forgettable

I say we Laugh at Diancie, but we cannot ignore the Cynthia. Calling Diantha Cynthia is just wrong. How do you get your girls mixed up?

EXACTLY, ITS KINDA CRINGEY

@@wookeattan39 Only "cringey" thing I see is your use of caps lock.

Cynthia would still beat the ever-loving shit out of Leon though

@@finnwestdoesit His team isn't diverse honestly depending on what starter he has Cynthia's spirit tomb takes out 1/2 of Leon's team also i always thought he should have a good fairy type like togekiss

@@justasentientmclarenp1879 spiritomb doesn't have the stats to do that

@@AgentLando if you picked cinderace he could have the stats; Mr Rime, Dragapult, and Aegislash

He’s touted as unbeatable, so having that competitive team just makes sense.

It's wolfey

Both Red and Wolfey are world champs, and thus share the W.C.D required to actually pose a challenge with an uncompetitive team.

This ++++

Yesss we want to know

Archie would be really low, but Maxie would be absolute bottom tier

Ghetsis the goat

YES

lol

14:52 loss of respect initiated. xD

Later he says, "oh this is Gen 4! Then you don't have to worry about Rotom"

@@andyg.610 He said gen 3

He also said fairy was added ‘retroactively’ into gen 4...? Gen 6 was fairy’s first appearance

yee, while gary's team is actually really good for battle, they are also hard to find or challenging to raise. rhydon and eggsecutor are from the safari zone(i guess eggs arent rare but he had to go off the beaten path to get anything from safari zone), and alakazam and gyarados are both notoriously tough to raise with abra also being tough to catch. his last two pokemon show that he had a similar beginning to you/went on his own journey, which is also why i think cynthia has roserade and gastradon. we all had those early pokemon that were with us for so long that we would never want to get rid of them...also pedgeot can use fly red is an obvious one for that last point as he literally has a team comprised of all the pokemon given to you in yellow. he literally had the same journey as many people did as far as teams go.

Yeah. But how tf does he have lvl 50 dragonites?

There's also the fact that Lance is meant to be a "fake final boss" in every game that he's in, his team seems intimidating but he's really a warmup for Blue or Red.

I feel like you’re giving lance too much credit there, the reason he has 3 dragonites is just bc they didn’t add any dragons in gen 2 so that’s his only option (also gen 2 as a whole was just super rushed and lazy they road gen 1s coattails real hard and hoped it scraped by, of the 23 pokemon between the 8 gym leaders only only 4 of them are even from gen 2. The elite 4 is a little better with 9/26 being from gen 2 although the best part is the johto champion literally using 0 johto pokemon)

@@johnsonbaroncaveler6634 Man was farming candies like crazy in Pokemon Go, either that or he took a trip to Alola.

Hail team sky

If I was his opponent, I'd allow it

two dragonair? he has three dragonites lol

@@Kruzrfam o, shit

Should’ve used his HGSS version, since his post-game team is honestly quite decent. And his first team is basically identical so both could’ve been analyzed.

xd Kruz3r just make one a dragonair and one a dratini lol

Maybe offensively and maybe for VGC, but ingame and in singles there's no competition. The resistances & defensive synergy Gastrodon brings is completely invaluable and the fact her team is about 15 levels higher in D/P also helps. In VGC, though, it's a toss-up. If she wants to perform stall with Spiritomb & Milotic then she should choose Gastrodon. If she instead wants to build her team more offensively then the synergy between Chomp & Kiss (especially if it gets Fairy type) is invaluable. I can certainly see why you'd say Kiss is better than Don, but it depends on how the team is built.

She was a real businesswoman, she realized in middle gen 4 how VGC Togekiss would be hugely good in like a decade and dropped Gastrodom to show up in this Wolfey Wideo

Ty,I’m only a singles player,so having this kind of vision for the VGC meta presented to me is really cool,I got to say though,in a singles meta I don’t think Gastro and Kiss outweigh each other,I think they would actually be good together on a team if you swap Milotic for Gastro,giving the team an electric immunity instead of another electric weakness

Cynthia was famously nerfed in Plt, by changing her pkmn to worst ones and lowering the team levels. Gastrodon is a harder foe than Toge, at least in Gen 4, making her easier was the point of such change

Yeah,but imagine if instead of swapping Gastro for Kiss,they swapped Milotic,now that would have been tough

Where is the lie though, lmao.

Bird keeper Lance

Took 7 years to realize that lance's team before round two had 6 flying type pokemons *He lied*

@person person you wouldn't even need effort

I mean, the Pokemon World Tournament did gave most of the Champions and Gym Leaders much more competitively built teams~

Why VGC capable if it's singles omegalol?

@@antonioblagaic1072 then make it a strong smogon team🤷🏼‍♂️

@@rjs9228 Well, duh

I want her to be Powerful as fuck a real challenge.Leon was way to easy but to be fair the game was way to easy with all that Exp Share

Joel Richardson-Mason I was Wallace. Slap surf on everything.

@@FizzyCape same. Surf and earthquake is all i needed.

To be fair everyone was Wallace in gen 3 when you had to use a hundred water HMs just to get around.

I was Wallace as well. I love water types

:O

Yeah, I thought the same as well. He did make a VGC players top 10 a long time ago, tho, with official tournaments results as the basis, and he himself was third, followed by Seijun Park and Ray Rizzo in that order, I think. I don't remember all the others but it wasn't all that controversial with the results in mind, I think most people would agree with most of that list.

Same, I was very concerned

@@sarthakarora3212 nah Cynthia is the superboss of B/W

@person person I actually struggled w/ him ngl but a lot of that was bc of the level diff. He’s got cool mons though, with Special attacking C-Soul Kommo-o, Phys/Screen Corviknight, stealth rock Lycanroc, intimidate Luxray, a dope Fake Out Mienshao, and a strong as hell Urshifu that’s pretty challenging if you let him take the Water one. Minimal typing overlaps, too.

@person person difficult team if you don't know what your doing, other than that, it's just Komm-O that gives you trouble if you let it set up enough

Yeah, and Oak's team is far better in Gen III. No more useless movesets or AI stupidity like Alakazam trying to heal itself at full health.

A battle between them is almost guaranteed to happen because of the World Championship ark

Joshu’s Barber yes fluffin please

ash won cuz of plot armor ffs

​@@manicyume No one can win if the writers are against them. Not even Cynthia. That's why Ash lost the Sinnoh (and kinda Unova) leagues so badly

In singles he could be higher! :D

@@Seloliva1015 oh WAY higher up there with Cynthia lol

@@TheRibottoStudios we gotta wait for the Singles 6v6 list to see Steven get justice lol. Gonna beat Red's ass for sure lol

Gen 5 gang yee yee

Iain Plank leon is a scrub

Gen 5 is the best

@@phoenixsmash5819 wrong, gen 4 is the best. Gen 5 is really good though

Dont forget deck-i-dewey and cinder-ah-chi

Or diance instead of diantha or JY-RAD-OSE

Sandstorm screws over special attackers.

If Tyranitar got set up then it's over.

Both Venusaur and Blastoise doesn't have Rock resistance, so, a buffed Stone Edge is the end of the entire team

Tyranitar sets up over appearojg and being slower than another weather setter.

Well Pikachu could knock it out with Light Ball or a petal dance from Venusaur will do the trick. Felt kind of cheated when he was ranked lower becuase he couldn't instantly wipe Tyranitar.

KFCBlaziken And wolfe made all the clutch reads for the W

wait what is this about it sounds like i missed something hilarious

@@maestroeragon latest video on zeros channel, and yes you did :)

Man my favourite players of their respective games made a collab, that was amazing.

Interesting. Anything cool that learns Fling?

@@glacierwolf2155 when I wrote this, I would've recommended something like Obstagoon or Weavile. Right now, easily the best option is Thundurus Incarnate, which can use Fling alongside Defiant to do pretty big damage.

That cinderace though XD

It's clearly a bit

Decidueye was the one that killed me

"Jiga Drain"

Jacob Dickman DECKYDUEY IM DEAD

The Illusionist imo no matter what team Cynthia has shes still s tier lmfao

Exalted Agreed. I’d actually argue her Diamond/Pearl team is the worst one out of all her options and it still got her into S tier lol

All of Cynthia's other teams have Togekiss, which is an automatic plus.

Cynthia's best team is probably Platinum, at least for double's. She doesn't have much of a change to her team, and the changes she does have are worse, for example removing Roserade in favor of Glaceon(A terrible pokemon competitively, especially in double's where ice type is VERY bad.). She even, at one point, removed Milotic for Glaceon(World Tournament in B2/W2) and keeps Roserade.

@@TheKabuto90 i hate togekiss i want it to die a horrible death after battling cynthia in platinum "itd be easy" they said "they nerfed her" they said

It certainly helps that Gen 2 Snorlax is one of the strongest pokemon of all time.

So he removes the water type when he gets the grass type and dosent add a grass type when he gets the water type What kind of backwards champion design is this?

@@milesandrews6711 The logic is this: • Rhyperior counters Fire, Bug, Ice, Poison and Flying-Types (Rillaboom's weaknesses) • Seismitoad counters Rock and Ground (Cinderace's weaknesses) • Mr Rime counters Grass (One of Inteleon's weaknesses)

@@morganr9825 but rhyperior is weak to ice too Seismatoad makes sense that way, but then why isn't Mr rime a different pokemon that counters all of intelleons weaknesses like electric and grass I mean they could've gotten a bug ground, or a fire ground or any dual typing that counter intelleons already limited weaknesses

@@milesandrews6711 Likely because most Pokémon that counter Electric (I.e. Ground) would have a weakness to Grass as well, meaning that Inteleon is still a sitting duck because the Pokémon meant to counteract its weakness shares a type disadvantage with it.

@@morganr9825 you can make it have a secondary typing that resists grass Heck Leon could've gotten himself a gliscor with poison heal shenanigans

:O

this is assuming all of them have perfect (for VGC) IV's tho

Henrique Erzinger no in game she had prefect IV’s that’s what I’m saying

Honestly, I would be pretty surprised if she was the only one! At least from Generation IV and on (I think it might've started sooner, but I can't find anywhere confirming when - I'm only positive that it applies to Generation IV), _all_ NPCs have non-random IVs on their Pokémon - it's just usually determined by Trainer Class rather than on a case-by-case basis. With that in mind, the reason Cynthia has perfect IVs because her Trainer Class is "Champion" and the IVs defined for that class in DPPt happen to be straight 31s. I know no one actually _talks_ about this (probably just because there are no easily accessible data exports with this kind of information for older Generations - I believe people first figured this out about Cynthia literally by using a "catch Trainers' Pokémon" cheat rather than by datamine, haha), but knowing the way the mechanics work, they have to make a conscious choice of some IV value for every Champion - and if they did it for Cynthia, well, why _wouldn't_ they do the same for all of the others? On the other hand, Gen VII changes things up a bit and gives a _major_ step up in the process! For one thing, SM and USUM are the first time that Trainers' IVs are determined on a case-by-case basis, so you'll find more interesting details like Black Belts having maxed Attack on all of their Pokémon (in previous Generations, they would have had to have the same value for every stat, so they would only have maxed Attack if they had all-around perfect IVs). ~As a result, this is the first Gen where I can actually _find_ everyone's IVs!~ Unfortunately, this first bit seems to have worked against Professor Kukui - because they no longer _had_ to give him all 31 IVs to give him a 31 in any stat, they gave each of his Pokémon except his starter a 31/31/31/31/15/15 spread (each with the 15s in two different stats), although his starter still does have all perfect IVs. Meanwhile, Hau loses the 15s and has equal IVs, but he has straight 30s instead of 31s. *But...* more importantly, this is _also_ the *only* Generation where bosses have _EV-trained_ Pokémon even outside of places like the Battle Tower! Kukui and Hau both have two stats maxed out on each of their Pokémon - and they made good choices that suit their roles (like, fast Pokémon have maxed Speed, offensive Pokémon have the relevant offense maxed, and slow/bulky Pokémon and support Pokémon have maxed HP - there are no wasted or questionably distributed points like raising Defense on a sweeper). If we're calling Cynthia impressive just for her Pokémon selection and her IVs, I think the _only_ two EV-trained Champions in the series deserve some credit, too! ~okay I think Trace also has some HP AVs on his Pokémon but they're not maxed and that's the only stat so it barely counts~ While we're on this topic, I can also confirm that Sword and Shield _stopped_ giving EVs to major bosses, which is why probably Leon felt so much easier despite his scary-looking team. There are still a handful of Trainers with EVs, but they're much sparser than Alola's bosses - Piers has HP investment on his Obstagoon only, seemingly to compensate for the fact that he can't Dynamax, and the rest of them are just optional fights: for whatever reason, instead of giving EVs to the Gym Leaders or any story fights, Sword and Shield decided that the three fights that needed to be buffed this way were... that one Rotom guy in Wyndon who gives you its form changing kit, the person with the Eviolite Dottler, and seemingly a cut battle with Ball Guy that never actually happens (they use a Galarian Stunfisk). So yep! *Tl;dr:* I can't confirm this, but it's likely that more Champions have perfect IVs than you think! Also, Kukui and Hau are the only two Champions who have EV trained Pokémon on top of their generally good IVs! There's your fun fact for the day on Champions' stats. C: --- Edit: actually, Leon (in addition to having no EVs) has straight 20s, not straight 30s or 31s - so yeah, _he's_ definitely inferior to Cynthia, haha.

yikes

then it wouldnt be their team

Hard agree

The Maractus School Bus will rise up. We will make Maractus OU. No... we must aim higher. We'll make it Uber! Everyone will know the true strength of our cactus maraca boi!

Same, I've been doing the same. I actually made one with Storm Drain on a trick room team with Rhyperior/Torkoal (and also a Weavile w/ Surf for Storm Drain/Weakness Policy). But I also have one on a doubles OU team working more for Chlorophyll/After You sun gimmicks. I *really* like the pairing with Torkoal, because a good battler CANNOT safely assume which way it's running and it can cost a lot of strategy altering. I was seriously thinking of asking Wolfey about exploring that exact thing too, but you beat me too it :')

Perish, gimmick account
