Just today i heard another one saying that one shouldnt care. You have no right to expect anything (even though you pay money AND loyality, but that doesnt matters apparently). You have no right to expect Quality or even literally-made Promises to be kept. No, just accept everything as it is. Thanks, dark middle ages, thanks. Your opinion has been received. Gamefreak will probably not wake up if delusional Fans keep being delusional, making being delusional the 'cool thing to be'...

Ugh, I freaking hate Landorus. Easily one of my least favorite pokemon (and the one of that particular legendary trio that makes the least sense, I get that Tornadus and Thundurus are Raijin and Fujin, but what is Landorus supposed to be? And what are the pokemon version of the Japanese wind and thunder gods doing in New York?). Everyone just used it the same way, so not only was it annoying to fight, but you already knew what it was doing.
Ally Switch is single handedly the reason I started running Imprison on my Reuniclus. Also Geomancy would be fine IMO if it had a Recharge Turn like Hyper Beam and not a Pre Charge Turn like Solar Beam.

@@123christianac I think this is different because it gives a long term benefit rather than just a little extra damage and so to get one off then position correctly could make it worth it. Also, getting the defensive boost makes it more likely to stick around. On it;s face the effect of doubling three important stats is clearly more worth the trade off than just a 150 basepower single target attack.
By factoring in the fact that Rock Slide has a 10% chance to miss inherently, the chances of flinching a Pokémon with it are still of 46.71%

Hey everyone, it’s the funny pet rock reveal guy. I am writing this to tell you all that I will stop asking for pet rock reveals. Today would have been the 69th day. The reason has to do with the origin of the pet rock reveal which most people don’t know about/don’t remember. It started when Wolfey did a collab with ZeRo where Wolfey said he would buy a pet rock at the end of the wideo. Due to the everything that has happened with ZeRo, I do not feel comfortable asking for pet rock reveals anymore, and I don’t think Wolfey would feel comfortable either and they are his wideos that I am commenting on. It was fun trying to get first on every wideo and thanks for all the encouragement. I don’t think I will comment on Wolfey’s wideos for a while now. Also, I hope you’re feeling better Wolfey.

I think that Ally Switch could work if it had a chance to fail on consecutive uses, a la protect (and would also fail if you used Protect then ally switch, the same way detect will have a chance to fail after using protect). I think this would solve some of Wolfey's problems with it at least

RAMDOZA 9624 I think there’s one huge difference in follow me and ally switch. Which is exactly what wolfey said the distribution of the move. There are over 70 plus Pokémon lines that can learn ally switch. There only three follow me users in the format, so you kinda expect it in the back of your mind when you go up against them. It’s a shock when a Pokémon uses ally switch for the first time unless it’s something that frequents the move but even then you can’t really predict it
Hey Wolfe, I'm not sure if you've done this before, but I thought it was really cool when you talked through computing the flinch probabilities of Rock Slide. I think it would be awesome if you made an introductory video about the basic principals of computing those probabilities. I'm a mathematics educator, and I think you have a platform to show people how relevant math can be to their interests. I really love your content and think you're funny and smart as hell.
Much love to you wolfey! Stay strong, you're my biggest inspiration!
Hey Wolfe, hope your mental state is improving. Its incredible how much effort you put into making quality, daily content, even when you are not in the best headspace. Hope you feel better. Much love

Hi Wolfe, I hope you're having a good day and staying safe! :3
You know what, I'm gonna through my hat in the ring with a probably rather unpopular opinion, trick room inherintally undermines so much of the bulk to speed balancing in pokemon that I really don't think it's super healthy in terms of meta play. Especially given it's huge distribution, overwhelmingly consistent use aswell as how many ways it can be reliably set up

I like watching these type of wideos from Wolfe because it’s interesting to hear his opinions on the current meta of the game I don’t know if you’ve made a wideo on Pokemon abilities yet, but it would be cool to see one Lowkey highkey wish I had a Switch so I could play Pokemon and other really cool games but oh well
Hey dude thanks for the info. We all have hard times but your advice on an escape from life is always appreciated. Keep on keeping on
Not going to lie, when I saw the thumbnail I tought it was a glass of milk and the attack being Milk Drink, and that Wolfe was ready to abandon dairy and become vegan wolfe.
Day 14 of asking Wolfey for "Why Lurantis is a threat"
Much love and support to you❤️continue growing ❤️
Loving the look! Always awesome to see your videos & you doing well
I think a good way to balance out Ally Switch (and follow me/rage powder to an extent) would be to make Pokemon with the abilities Sniper, Keen eye and Anticipation ignore it. It would be a nice buff to otherwise pretty much usless abilities and they already did this with Stalwart, so I dont see why they dont buff a few abilities to have this effect too like they did this gen to nerf Intimidate.
Real youtubists, sometimes struggle. If you're struggling, know we love you
Wolfe can't control the chaotic energy of the intro, he is simply its humble guide

I feel like Ally Switch WAS a Healthy thing for the game back in Gen 6. It needs a limited distribution to be a good thing. Now it's too all over the place. It encourages Spread Spam.

I like this solution, though personally think the devs could go a bit further. My idea: next gen, add a new (potentially non-) damaging move that stops ally switch’s (and maybe other positional moves’) effects. Call it “quicksand” or “lockdown” or something along those lines

I feel like Stealth Rock prevents a more diverse, potentially-more-interesting meta game from ever developing because it invalidates entire sub-groups of pokemon from being viable threats. It could have retained the purpose of "threatening an over-reliance on switching"-because I do think its healthy to have some tool to punish that-by being an equal alternative to Toxic Spikes. While toxic spikes only effects grounded pokemon, stealth rock could have just been the opposite: only hitting non-grounded pokemon. By further nerfining Stealth Rock's ability to hit every pokemon (i.e.: practically guaranteed damage causing almost no risk with its use) combined with removing its ability to increase damage based on rock-types incredible typing, it would also help a ton to reduce the need to rely on ridiculous speed tiers to be viable (as this move is one of those that heavily incentivizes power-creeping speed over all other stats). Alternatively, I feel like Trick Room does more harm than good. There is a decent argument that punishing over-reliance on the constantly power-creeping speed tiers (more on that below), and I do feel like *something* should exist to serve that purpose. But I don't think Trick Room is the best thing to do so. Nowadays especially, it's basically just become "I want pokemon with all the advantages without having to sacrifice any stats in the name of balance". I do think the meta game would becomes better while compromises have to be made to gain stat advantages. I feel like one of the biggest things that could help curb some of the ridiculously creeping speed tiers is by removing or heavily nerfing Taunt. imho, and maybe it is just me, but it so often feels like its purpose is simply to prevent an opponent's use of Taunt that its a move that creates a dilemma that it itself solves. Removing it, imho, would do more good than harm. And it would further reduce the need for ridiculous speed tiers. And since half this comment was about speed tiers more than anything else, I think its appropriate for me to break from the video's discussion point to mention that I think Choice Scarf also does more harm than good as it often creates a problems that itself has to solve.
Glad you brought this up. I’ve lost some battles just because my opponents use Ally Switch

Hey man. I how you're feeling better and KZread becomes a useful escape for you
I caught onto ally switch early on and got to Master ball with a Mime Jr.. the original plan was for it to sucker punch a Runergerus to activate weakness and filter, but it's ability didn't proc while dynamax.
Wolfey was thinking of Blizzard when talking about Sheer Cold
Idea for a video: look into the new love tutor moves and look at who benefitted from the moves and which Pokémon for robbed, by not getting any new moves.
Totally thought Wolfey was going to mention Geomancy. I guess he is maturing and learning that Xerneas is NOT toxic.
Verli-oh. You said moves, Carry on
This makes me think of a OHKO move, Blunder Policy, Stomping Tantrum set
I have had great use of Ally Switch on my current team - the most effective resulted in my physically defensive Gardevoir easily taking a Hammer Arm and Max Knuckle instead of my Exploud. I have also lost to it, however.

OHKO moves, Swagger, evasion moves. I'll never forget getting swept by a walrein using sheer cold in battle subway. He didn't even miss once.
I first saw Ally Switch in Gen7 Moon season's regular when a shedninja helped kyogre to survive a number of fatal moves like leaf blade and thunderbolt. It's much stronger than I'd expected.
Fun fact, before waching this I saw wolfey's clip where he doubled up mach punch and hyper beam while enemy dusclops used ally switch.....
I hope that Wolfey is having a good one
I legit thought Wolfey dyed the tips of his hair until I realized it was the green screen playing tricks on me.
He made an entire video about the move toxic what a legend
Yk what isn't toxic? Using Zweilous (day 32) Wolfey I hope you are doing fine, when I had to take my finals, your wideos kept me sane Keep up the good work man!
Ally switch is the poison cup scene from The Princess Bride. its inconceivable
Ally switch for sure. Also special mention for protect when its run on 4/4 mons the opponent uses.
I would say Baton Pass is right up there with Ally Switch, if not higher. It’s just boost while holding a Focus Sash, Baton Pass out, boost some more, and click damaging moves
Yo, I was literally just watching the championship news wideo!
