What Happens if you buy a Pokémon Team on Ebay? 

All aboard the Honkai: Star Rail! Download here: hoyo.link/31jbCQAd

I can't believe ebay banned YOUR account vs the actual full on scammer. Classic. Absolutely classic nonsense move. Insane.

buying Pokemon from Ebay is a real Team Rocket move

I think the first team was made for singles, it would explain why gholdengo was so bulky and had that moveset, why tinkaton had stealth rock, and so on, which don't make sense for doubles but make sense for singles (even though you go with mons from ubers all the way down to UU so I don't know what the seller was cooking).

*Wolfey:* [gets banned on eBay by a scammer] *Also Wolfey:* Jokes on you, heres an entire video showing how you scammed me

I remember a friend giving like three mega EXs to find that they were fake

Quite fitting that the Tinkaton from a scam team had Knock Off

Calling you dear is a classic Chinese seller trait, I think its a scam tactic + a translation issue at the same time. They try to be endearing to hook you but they miss the fact that calling you dear out of the blue is weird. Back in 2010 or so I used to buy WoW gold and thats the exact same way the sellers spoke to me

Okay, the funniest part about the "win in two turns" team is that I faced that exact team in GC 2. It is, in fact, Flower Trick Meowscarada and Anger Point Krookodile, who KOs or ejects his own teammate with Earthquake after going to +6 and then Flamigo switches in. They lost in two turns when Bundle destroyed Krookodile. 😂😂 Now the way that they messed up using the Sableye makes a lot more sense if they'd never used it before (my opponent Shadow Sneaked something for minimal damage and then attempted to Fake Out on its second turn out; I chalked it up to a misclick).

The baxcalibur in game one just used Glaive rush so fiery dance did double damage, that’s why it knocked out

I absolutely love how many Tatsugiri are in Wolfey's box

The ebay ban is very interesting. Not sure what the deciding factor was in that situation....

Oh hey! I actually made a video on my channel about that Krookodile Meowscarada team back in season 1 and I think that's where that seller got it from! Hearing you dissect the team was actually pretty funny! But yeah in current seasons the team isn't as useful, but in my showcase video it was mainly just to show off funny moments with the meowscarada-krookodile combo. It's wild to see a team I made show up on your channel, I just didn't think it'd be like this

There’s a lot of issues with the krook/meow team, but one of the things about the meow set I find weird is the lack of any attack outside of flower trick on a -atk set. Meow has access to stab foul play, you should almost always be running that on an anger point team like this so it’s not useless after the initial proc.

I gotta say, Offensive Sableye is one of the funniest things ive ever seen, even without the non-bo with Psychic Surge Hearing Wolfe roast sets like these is great content lol

thrash + outrage garchomp is really something else

Indeedee with two priority moves and Sableye with four priority moves is an all-time sabotage

The second team is the definition of "let him cook"

That second team was actually made popular by another RU-vidr during VGC Series 1. Besides the tera types and all I think it’s an exact replica of theirs

The Krookodile/Meowscarada team was actually stolen from a small RU-vidr named Shanaha. They posted a couple videos on this team. The first one only explains and uses the first four mons, while the second one they pull out indeedee hatterene. Turns out, the Sableye and Meowscarada having Skill Swap is so they can Skill Swap the Flamigo's Costar and gain max attack and +1 speed, should the Krookodile die. Tera rock is to give Rock Slide STAB when there's a Flying type or a Levitator on the field. I recommend finding their video on it and watching it, as the Ebay scammer only said "Win in 2 turns" and the actual video gives a deeper dive into the team

The first team looks like a Singles team actually. It'd explain why there's a Stealth Rock Tinkaton, and Defensive Gholdengo is pretty good for BSS. Thrash HS Garchomp is still insane though

6:30 "None of my Pokemon do anything into Corviknight" Tinkaton sitting right there

Love the content Wolfey! The more you make videos the more I want to get into competitive Pokémon. It’s a whole different world than like playing the story so it’s taking me awhile

Imagine getting scammed and then getting punished for it What a world we live in

I’ve missed your battle content videos! Enjoyed this one!

I think prankster skill swap is to take costar from flamigo (or can be targeted in terrain since it is flying) and get the stat boosts onto sableye as well, with the attack investment to capitalise on it.

Congratulations on 1 mill bro remember watching the video of you saying you're going full time on RU-vid so proud of how far you've come content quality has gotten impeccable much love

Congrats on 1 Million Subs!!!!

Feel like the takeaway here is not only that you shouldnt buy teams from ebay, if rentals are a thing, but also that you shouldnt buy items from games that you can just get yourself for free in general.

Havent finished the video yet but I have a strong feeling team #1 was meant for singles. Stealth rock tink and bulky gholdengo makes a lot more sense in singles

New to pokemon battling, been feeling like I've been doing great!! Learning so much even from bad teams and making most of them yano Thank you ^-^ you're actually the best

WOLFEY!!!! YOU REACHED A MILLION SUBS HOLY DAMN BRO!!!! ive been cheering you on for a few years now, so glad you have been able to be recognised more on youtube, but also miss your old intros "real youtube is.... (on microsoft paint)"

The fact that there are Wolfey hater channels that took his Twitter post about the Ebay banning purposely out of context is hilarious to me. They tried to use it to frame him as a cheater 🤣

Wolfey recently you have become my favorite RU-vidr I’m new to your content and I enjoyed it so much I’m watching all of your videos congrats on 1 million subscribers🎉

The enjoyment that he had that first game with the second team… like oh this team actually kinda makes sense

These scammers are genuinely malicious, it'd take the same amount of effort to make a good team, yet they choose to make the worst possible teams.

"It does get the thunder wave off, its slower than my goldengo... im guessing its not a very fast dragonite then" Classic example of Wolfey world champ intelect

Ayy congrats man on 1 mill!!!

This wideo feels like the old ones you made a few years ago, you love to see it

"When I was younger, I got scammed." I used a Zubat in BD/SP not knowing Leech Life was locked to LEVEL 69. I know your pain.

This video just autoplayed on my feed and i dont really have time to watch it so let me just drop by and say that wolfey your hair looks gorgeous

i luv ur videos. the longer the better!

I'm so glad you're getting sponsors on like all your videos

Congrats on 1 mil Wolfey

Max HP Garchomp with focus sash legit broke my brain

Hahahahaha love that at the end ebay also lists wolfey’s vgc team 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So I actually really really enjoy seeing you take teams and reviewing them and giving ideas for improvements. Obviously in the context of this video it's a bit on the funny side because we know these are scams. But in a general sense for those of us who could be better team builders, it's really fun and insightful to hear why X thing wouldn't work or why Y thing would be an improvement without undermining the original intent of the team.

I'm enjoying the fact you got Verlisfy foaming out the mouth trying to cancel you.

Late congratulations for 1 million subs 🤗 I'm so happy for you ❤

bro the ebay seller messages had me rolling

I think this was very interesting. In the end of the video you mention getting a team via rental. How does that work can you maybe make a video about that. I think there are lots of beginning vgc players interested in that

This was such a great video idea. I always wondered how this transactions would even work. Cool video

This was so fun, l really hope he makes tjis into a series so we can get more of this!

the seller copying your team was the icing on this vid

there needs to be more of these series. pretty interesting to see some new gameplay due to random moves and pokemon in the team

Congrats on 1 mill wolfey

in the vgc championships 50% of all pokemons are hacked. Even one of the winner used a whole team of hacked pokemon… it was all revealed by the official organizers

Congratulations on 1 mil!

@WolfeyVCG from one Wolf to another, and not seeing it in the comment section. The first team somewhat kind of says it, but not clearly... its for RAIDs, that's why they are all bulk based EVs, in raids it's more about NOT dying and losing time. Though usually you also have set up moves on those as well... But they aren't for "Competitive" as in VGC/Singles, they are for 7 star "hard" Raids.

Wolfey dear, I really enjoy your videos.

This video makes me remember that a long time ago, when i was a kid, in Pokemon Sun, i got traded a shiny Mew that was clearly hacked, but at the time i was, confused, but really happy! I didnt know that it was hacked, so i did not understand why would they trade it away, even when its really rare, so i cared a lot about it, sadly my 3DS is dead so i cant see it anymore, but somehow, i still remember who traded it to me, so thanks whoever MitsukiTV is! I dont know if its a bot, or it was just spam, but i remember getting that Mew like if it was yesterday :D!

I’ve actually tested a bit more with an anger point kroon team, if you invest in sp def and hp, got for a sp def nature, and tera steel, you EAT UP flutter manes dazzling gleam and other special attacks lol it’s so funny when it works but it has a lot of ways to fail, but still a fun team to run around with

I just noticed, we hit 1 million!! Congrats my guy

Great wideo Wolfe, congrats on 1mil you deserve it!! Been watching on and off since the covid. I hope you're dream of making competitive pokemon big time popular comes true ❤❤❤

As always, amazing videos

All in all, remember to stay safe on the internet! Although there are shady people who sell illegitimate Pokémon, there are also legit rental teams. Rental teams are a great mechanic - and thanks to VGC Pokepastes for them.

I think the ebay description of the first team specified tera raids- which would explain the heavy HP investment and some of the item/moveset/tera type choices

Congrats on 1.01M subs!

Shanaha made a video with that (or a similar) team about winning in two turns

Big congrats on 1M!

Wolfie! You just passed 1MILLION!!! Congrats! :D

I’m so desperate for new wolfey content lmfao if you’re taking request I really wanna see another smallant collab

LETS GOOOOOOOOO 1 MIL SUBS FOR WOLFEY

I think you should do these vids more often. Like buying random teams and just see what you can do with them

Considering that skills spreads are easily available from tournament winning teams it would be simpler to just sell one of the rental teams

Oh man a certain RU-vidr is gonna have a field day with this video

Unless you can't use hypertrained, or nature minted mons in competitive battles, I have no idea why someone would buy a Pokemon team. This whole situation seems absolutely ridiculous to me!

With scarlet and violet it is so easy to make a good team... you can literly buy every thing for ev/dv training and to get breedable moves they made mirrorherb the hardest will be to get is ability patch and the shards for the type

wolfey is really proving that he has the world champ difference by winning with bad teams

This has to be a slap in the face for people who think you was legit cheating🤣🤣🤣

CONGRATS ON 1 MILLYYY

In regards to the “Win in one turn” team. Yeah, it does NOT work if you know what’s coming. I recently built a Snow Team, and my usual leads are Abomasnow/Sableye, Sableye to Fake Out specific threats and Abomasnow to set Aurora Veil immediately. While testing it on Showdown (OU Doubles because the team uses H-Zoroark) I encountered the exact team. Protect is definitely to keep the strategy from failing, either because of an Early Eject on Meowscarada or a death to Krookadile, that much I figured, but uh… +6 252 Atk Krookodile Earthquake vs. 168 HP / 56 Def Abomasnow in Snow with an ally's Aurora Veil: 119-140 (32.7 - 38.5%) -- 99.1% chance to 3HKO Did _basically nothing_ to my Abomasnow, who simply clicked Blizzard, wounding the incoming Flamigo. The rest of the team was definitely backup. It still lost though.

Funny enough, Pokemon Go also has a pretty big ebay market. People will offer rare shinies that they find, then when someone buys it they send the seller their friend code and their location, so the seller will spoof their location to be close enough to trade. People were selling shiny Noibat for $40 each, and then Noibat had a community day shortly after 😂

please make this a reoccurring series

What I do is come up with an idea for a team, test it out on Showdown, make changes as needed and if I like it, then I will train up my mons naturally in SV. It's so much fun grinding knowing it's gonna be legit.

I'm pretty sure that the Krookodile team isn't even the seller's original idea: it was a youtuber who originally came up with the idea (and actually uses it well).

this has easily been your best video in the last couple months, hoping to see more fun videos like this in the future

Wolf just giving this Garchomp all of the unearned faith

That Sableye on the second team is me when I’m teambuilding and I just throw something in the sixth slot without thinking because I have no better ideas.

the pokémon mystery dungeon music hits hard

That was an awesome punchline at the end 🤣

10:10 pretty sure thats because you used Glaive Rush last turn and you dont get to move again, so bax takes double damage from everything

Ahaha the krookodile team was actually hilarious though 😂😂 didn't expect it to work

will you be playing honkai star rail? i’m really enjoying the game so far, so i’d love a stream where we can see your gameplay of another turn based rpg

I got that very Mewtwo star card from a pack and then one day I was playing Pokémon outside, got called in to lunch by my mum and then it rained like crazy and the card was ruined, just has irreversible water damage. Lesson learned: never go outside it's not worth it.

Back in B/W and X/Y I was helping new players get Pokemon to breed with If they didn't have anything yet / didn't want to invest the time into getting started or whatever. BUT I actively asked them for which pokemon, egg moves, nature, ability and hidden power instead of just saying "buy this and you win!!!111!" I guess I was too legit... and now it's so easy to get all of that anyway.... FeelsBadMan

Lol, theyre selling wolfeys team on ebay? That is so funny. And wolfey cant take it down either because…lololol. Great video dude. Great video

Make a series where you critique teams!

I love how wolfey got a worse version of one of Footoodoo’s gimmick teams XD the start of VGC for SV was so fun for gimmicks lmao

The sableye set is for skill swap the flamigo so you get costar and copy the stats boost. Thats why it is an offensive sableye.
