How I Won the Biggest Pokémon Tournament Ever

This is the story of how I won the Orlando Regional Championships, the biggest official Pokemon tournament ever.

Wolfe accidentally climbing to the top of the Showdown ladder and causing his team to become popular and well-known is one of the funniest flexes of all time

“Even if my opponents had experience against the team, it wasn’t the same as having experience against me” - The real world champ difference

[infernosam]

"Even if my opponents had experience against the team, it wasn't the same as having experience against me." is such a raw and terrifying line to hear from a world champion

[selens]

"Perish Trap is pretty widely considered the single hardest strategy to use in competitive Pokémon. it's so difficult in fact, that it has only ever won one official Pokémon tournament."

"Yep. By me."

[ak.ant]

Wolfey going up to number one in the ladder, giving everyone experience against his team, and still going on to win, is the DEFINITION of world champ difference.

Imagine being a pokemon, training hard for the greatest battle of your life... only to find yourself trapped in this weird room you can't escape from as Hungrybox and his tall goth gf sing a song so off-key it kills you

Wolfey preping: "i don't want to risk the tourney on a coinflip"
Wolfey in the finals: "well good old coin, here we go again"

[HoodlumCallum]

You're a better man than me. I'd be so salty if everyone started copying my team LMAO.

[joshuafrazier]

I find it hilarious that Wolfey basically said “yes I threw away one of my biggest advantages away on accident but I wasn’t worried since all the people know how to do is fight the copies and simply they ain’t me!”

@WolfeyVGC I was the kid who after the last match of the day I asked you to sign my bulbasaur and you signed it on the belly (this was in Tennessee in February 2023 near the end of the month) I just wanted to say thank you, I wanted you to sign my bulbasaur because it's number 1 in the pokédex, and your my number 1😊

This is a bit of a nostalgia for me, first time I ever watched a Wolfe video was the thing he did with Shady way back when and he had just won a regional with perish trap against Ashton, which incidentally is the first vgc match Ive ever watched. I kinda kept up with the man since, needlessly to say things went relatively well.

And a cool little detail, that team Wolf built with Shady originally had jigglypuff, but they had to remove for Politoed it since the team was so weak to Zard Y. It may have needed to go back a few thousand years, but Jigglypuff finally became the star of a Wolfe perish trap team.

Funny how you changed lots of stuff in your team to counter Torkoal thinking there were gonna be a lot, yet didn't have to play a single one all tournament.

[mrchickinman]

wolfey really said “sure, you can copy my team. but you cant copy *me”*

[chileplease]

Wow. Having to face off against Ashton again with Perish Trap must have been chilling for both of you. It’s like a fated rematch. I love how even though I knew the outcome I was still at the edge of my seat. This is why i love your videos. Congratulations on the win!

Imagine being alex here.not only do you end up second again, not only did you lose to the same guy again. but he beat you the same damn way again

[Eolri]

The editor(?) who went through all the effort of replicating the matchups for our viewing experience is goated, even with Lycanroc having a cosmetic spooky balloon hat ):

[nou]

I loved this tourney, especially when Wolfey said: "Maybe the real world champ difference was the friends we made along the way" and difference'd over his opponents. Truly the difference of all time.

[Zeldrake]

The editing on this is _absurdly_ high quality, it's one of the best I've ever seen. Being able to keep up with everything and the video not being fifteen hours long is incredible

[MeargleSchmeargle]

"Im gonna practice and get good with this team, and I'll have the element of surprise going into this tournament"

*5 minutes later:* "Shit, I accidentally made my team meta!"

Part-flattered, part-horrified.

[GlitchxCity]

I'm halfway through the video but I just want to shout out the use of the Shin Megami Tensei V music playing at 20:03. Based.
