Going on a rant about not calling it "Shed Ninja" and then immediately having it labelled as Shedninja after the rant is peak

Obviously the correct answer is Tera Bug Incineroar

I love the bug type's image of having a lot of weaknesses to overcome but being capable of greatness when placed in just the right niche. It feels like such good synergy between mechanics and narrative. One of my all time favorite types to use.

Conversational Wolfe videos are so good, but these last two typing videos have been super complemented by their incredible editing. Just an awesome one-two punch between Wolfe and the editor.

Tera bug Incineroar

There's something endlessly funny about having an actual major contender write documentaries. "Escavalier won worlds once... the guy brought it specifically to counter me" is both hilarious to hear and yet totally factual

Fun fact: The Scizor I used to Top Cut Salt Lake City Regionals, got removed at Round 2 for having the wrong Special Attack Stat.

The Tapu lele-Accelgor strategy and the Shuckle-Mimikyu strategy sound super fun! Bug type made for a really interesting video.

"please do not spell it "Shed Ninja"" Spells it as Shedninja seconds later. Brilliant.

It's kind of like this series is going in casual gameplay order. You covered the starters. Then the bugs so common in early game. I guess next would be either flying or normal, since those are common wild pokemon in the early game.

The editing on this channel is maybe some of the best I find on all of YT these days, definitely so for the Pokémon community. Huge kudos to the editors.

The editing is so good! And I can't even IMAGINE how long the videos must be to actually edit, but HELL it's cool to see the results!

Ironically enough, despite Wolfe saying theres not much good bug types, this is the longest "best pokemon of X type" video so far.

I love Shedninja. Man, shedninja. What a Pokémon shedninja is.

Personally I really love these "Best Pokemon of each Type" videos as I dont play competitive myself but really enjoy your content and learning the History of the Competitive Scene is really interesting since I didnt start watching you until after ScVi came out. I hope you continue these videos in the future.

I said this before, but your videos have really boosted on the editing value! It's super helpful for staying visually engaged while listening to the cool Pokemon analysis 😎

Another one of Butterfree's major wins was under the control of 9-year-old Simone Lim of Singapore, who won the 2020 Juniors division at the Oceania International Championships with one alongside a team of more common VGC mainstays - Tyranitar, Excadrill, Gyarados, Rotom-Heat and Whimsicott. She actually made Butterfree her Gigantamax Pokemon, had it wear a Choice Scarf, and gave it a moveset of Pollen Puff, Sleep Powder, Hurricane and U-turn.

18:53 If Wolfey is questioning what you are cooking with your team composition you know you are doing something truly wild.

Editor went ham in this video! Loved the Invincible joke lol

Bug types might not be the most powerful Pokémon competitively but since gen 5 and especially since gen 7 they have become one of the most fun types to use during a playthrough. Their diversity in second typing and design has made them a lot more interesting than in the first gens where there were few stand outs that were often crippled by very shallow move pools among other issues.

there's like a 100% chance he put the shedninja bit at the start of the video to get us to leave comments where we spell it shedninja because we think we're so funny and sassy and you know what im letting him have his engagement here u go wolfey

The amount of shock I went through seeing Leech Life be turned into a decent move non-bug types were running in gen 7 was only beaten by the fact that I was actually thinking about using the new bug types without knowing stats and moves. They were just that awesome looking

Thanks for mentioning the previous 3 videos at the beginning. Made me realize I had somehow missed the fire video, so went back to watch.

I LOVE Volcarona and always draw the mon itself! Love watching your videos and always learn so much from them! Hope you keep making more! 😄

Imagine if they "nerf" U-turn down to 60 BP. That would be terrifying, but I would love to see Scizor getting better results outside of Smogon.

Aesthetically speaking, bug types have so so many cool looking ones, especially in the later gens, hence probably pushing to coolest on average for pokemon types

Bruh, the editing is just phenomenal on these videos!!, even if someone isn't into competitive Pokemon very much, these are still highly enjoyable and extremely entertaining to watch!!!

the video editing was phenomenal, i really liked it i thought scisor or shuckle would have beoon on spot 1 but volcarona took the cake i love volcarona very muvh especially the shiny version and i used it quite a bit back in gen 6 with giga drain, people seem to ignore and sleep on this move you can probably continue this series with all types and i guess the best start would be normal type

16:25 love the little detail on the Focus Blast description

Wolfe: please don't spell it as "shedninja", it's "shedinja" Also Wolfe: deckidooey, wenyasaur, jenjar, cinderatchi, arkaneenay

I loved this video, thank you for covering the best type. :) I agreed with the rankings, and even guessed a fair number of them before they were revealed. Also, whoever's doing the editing deserves a raise.

This is my favorite series of yours. Loved the Escalivier trivia. Psychic and Poison are among my favorite types and it would be cool to see a video on those. Rock I thought would be interesting as well.

Fun fact, tera electric shedinja with air balloon is incredibly broken, so broken that it was literally BANNED on showdown

I feel like Shedinja would be good on a team to just sit on the 5th and 6th slots and hardly ever get used just to force people to play around it

Love you content Wolfey, it's awesome to see how much you've progressed.

Hey wolfey, I really enjoy watching Pokemon content on the weekends and I just wanted to say good job on being so consistent with putting out videos recently. I know that must be challenging.

I don't disagree at all, but as a bug type fan, I'm legally obligated to be upset by the total absences of Heracross, Scolipede, Galvantula, Crustle, Scyther, Mega Beedrill, Mega Pinsir, Yanmega, Armando, Vespiquen, Vikavolt, Ribombee, Orbeetle, Centiskorch, Lokix, and ESPECIALLY GENESECT!! WHAT THE HECK!? Now that my legally obligated Uproar has ended; Great video 😃

Fun fact in 2009 the Power Split Shuckle strategy mentioned in the video (but with Bronzong instead of Mimikyu) was used to win the Seattle Regional by Daniel Tapp, there's a video of the finals on YT.

Awesome video, Wolfey! I would love to see what you'd say is the best Steel type Pokemon. I do suspect it could be Zacian if it were given more time to thrive but that is also why I think it's an interesting type to explore for this type of video. With options like Aegislash, Metagross, and Heatran also in this category, I am genuinely curious to see what has seen the most results.

Love the more casual narration style in this one!

Let me guess, tera bug Incineroar?

I am stupidly happy to see Butterfree mentioned anywhere. My #1 favorite mon was mentioned, and it just makes me really happy. I went in sure it'd be nowhere, and yet!

Dang the editor went WILD on this one, props great video !

Haven't gone through all the comments but haven't seen anyone mention that focus blast description during the pheromosa segment, that was a nice touch

The shedninja was a perfect bit to bait comment engagement lmao

One notable result missed for Scizor: Hayden McTavish won Senior Worlds in 2013 with Occa Berry Scizor.

Enjoying these vids, keep it up ! Worth watching and learning stuff. Also entertaining while eating lol

I'm so proud that Wolfe and I had the same idea to use Speed Swap Pheromosa on Calyrex-Ice.

Escavalier's move Fell Stinger that raises it's attack 3 stages when taking a ko is baller as hell too

I have to say i really enjoy these edits that are "imperfect" where Wolfe is definitely scripted but not all the uhhs are edited out and he just sounds more casual? Feels like old Wolfe with a little bit of polish

My absolute favourite of all the teams I used during gen 8 was built around hail with Arctozolt and Pheromosa with Blizzard. It held Specs but ran Close Combat for fighting STAB since it doesn't care about a defensively detrimental nature. I made it for an unofficial 6v6 doubles teambuilding contest, but it was fun and good enough to win a couple tournament rounds, so I also tweaked it for the ingame ladder. Bug is my favourite type so I love it whenever they get their time to shine. AV Slither Wing is my gen 9 secret weapon!

Really appreciate the more conversational videos...I enjoy hearing how the WORLD CHAMP processes things. Not just hearing his final answer, but hearing how he thinks through the game

Vivillon used to have access to a signature move called 'powder'. It was a status move that would trigger if the opponent used a fire-type move. Unfortunately, access to this move was taken from it, and it hasn't appeared on any other Pokémon. As a concept, it's pretty cool and I've never really seen it utilized. I'm sure it could've been interesting. Essentially, if the target afflicted with 'powder' used a fire-type move, instead of dealing damage it would blow up in the user's face, dealing damage. I can understand why they got rid of it, it was such a niche move and a signature for a completely underused mon, but still. Give my man Vivillon a W.

Ice would be a fantastic type to give your Top 3 on. We know, historically, Ice Type SUCKS. But we also know that Ice Types have some unique techs, attacks and Pokemon in it. Would love to see your opinion on the best and not so best ones.

This videos editing was crazy good! Hope he does ground types next

I'd love to see you do normal or psychic next honestly! Maybe that's because I'm kind of new to vgc and my favorite pokemon to use is a psychic type, and my favorite pokemon of all time is a normal type. Trying to figure out how to make a porygon2 and reuniclus team work...haven't figured it out yet but I think I just need to do more research.

I'm not mad that you put Butterfree on here, I'm mad that you did so after MAKING CATERPIE CRY IN THE INTRO! You Monster! Also who else came in expecting Volcorona and Scolipede? Gen 5 is really where the Bug Types started getting a power bump.

1:02 Editor absolutely savage

Loved the vid absolute banger everytime and just like all your vids I always find new ways to use pokemon

Overall amazing video, ranting about shedinja and then spelling in wrong is funny, would love to see a video about the best Flying/Dark type next

Surprised he didn't mention Genesect, Mega-Pinsir or Kleavor. As a singles player these have been great Pokémon

If moths are attracted to flames, but the moth is the flame, does that make Volcarona a narcissist?

Loved the editing of this video!

Always been loving the Best Type Pokemon videos! Super fun to see what the best type is and I really love the breakdowns

I think Emergency Exit should be tweaked to allow Golisopod to attack the attacker with whatever move was selected as it switches. It allows both sides to play smartly around it- if the golisopod is at ~60% HP, the opponent can attack into golisopod with a pokemon that resists or otherwise eats the hit from golisopod. The user of golisopod can set up good switch ins with pivot mons like amoongus or incineroar while positioning golisopod in a way that makes the exit part of emergency exit still worthwhile, and golisopod isn't shafted by an ability that hurts more than it helps because it still gets to attack even if it's being forced out at an inopportune time.

makes sense, great editing this episode!!! ice or rock type please

Dude I haven’t watched your content in awhile, but holy crap your editing has gotten absolutely insane. I wasn’t even that interested in this topic, just on while doing other things, but I watched the whole thing from how good the editing and commentary was

Bug Types are by FAR my favorites, I really hope for Legends Z-A to give them some more love

Ribombee always had a special place in my heart since SM days. Neat typing, solid speed, decent special attack, and a solid move in Pollen Puff made for a fun pokemon to use. Only shame is the very frail defensive stats and the lack of move pool, but I still liked using it whenever I got the chance

It's funny how dominant bug/steel is as a typing is every form of play, having so many resistances and only 1 weakness is just so strong, especially after the addition of fairy type, cool video!

Favorite Type. Mono-bug for life haha! Awesome vid.

Volcarona is my favorite pokemon of all time! The way it was introduced in the anime, the game, high level move requirements and design are simply incredible.

I think covering Dragon next would be fitting, going from the historically worst type to the historically best one

Great video man! I love my bug types, no matter that I never used them 😀

Great to see my favorite pokemon at the tippy top. Volcarona also just has an awesome design IMO

"Please i'm begging you don't spell it Shedninja!" *proceeds to spell it Shedninja*

10:02 everyone is talking about the shedninja misspelling, but is no one talking about how good wolfey looks during the sponsor?? The hair, the shirt just suits wolfey so well.

the Ragnarok Online emotes and the Spore dying sound effect surprised me, kudos to whoever was editing this lol.

So, back in early gen IV, I actually used power trick Shuckle at a local tournament, with its main partners being life orb alakazam as the setter and clefable when the ala went down. It worked decently well, but it was hard to win sets with it, once people knew what I was doing.

0:51 Says the Jenjar (Gengar) guy.

As a kid, I used to believe that Volcarona was a legendary Pokemon in Black and White due to the way you obtained it in the sand ruins.

I used Shedinja throughout 2019 to major (for me) success, including 4-3 at the OCIC (Moon Series), where one of my losses was to Eduardo Cunha who won the event, and one of my wins was against then-World Champion Paul Ruiz. In Ultra Series, however, I used it alongside Scarf Cloud Nine Golduck (and NO Mega despite them being legal) and got consistent top 4 results at Premier Challenges and an MSS, which I'm proud of. I also used Scizor in 2013 Nationals in Australia to make top 8! (mine was the team with Maractus)

Big type is so slept on I think this is the perfect entry point to a series where you go through every type even though you already addressed the starters essentially. Also spacing out these breakdowns help keep the content going for a while just start with types that are not dominant like Big was

1 minute in and Wolfe's editor is already trolling.

this is my favorite series on his channel as of late, can’t wait to see the next type he chooses. I love these history-of type vids

You did a type triangle with the first 3 vids so keep that vibe and do the best flying type next and then rock or whatever order you wanna do

Golisopod is my fav bug type, so glad it got an honorable mention!

1:03 Editor knew exactly what they were doing 😂

Honestly for how much Wolfe finds the Bug type weak and lacking, he still makes videos on it super high quality and well done. The edits and research is so respectable

i love your editor for messing with you with the shedninja and the fact that they clearly love ragnarok online with how often they used the emotes + sound effects from it 😂

Loved this. I'm not a competitive player, but I like watching competitive. When I play the games, I always want to find and use the best new bug for as long as possible. In my mind, bugs fit the idea of a "pocket monster" the best.

The choice of Relic castle bgm to talk about Volcarona is just 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 that music gets me every time

Yessssss this was my most requested type video! Scizor has been my fav Pokémon ever so this placement was justice. Oddly enough, I don’t like bugs in real life but for some reason I absolutely LOVE bug types on Pokémon. Scizor, Masquerain, Ribombee, Pheremosa, Leavanny, Genesect, Lokix, Buzzwole to name a few. :)

Oh I actually thought we'd have Galvantula in honorable mentions. I guess it didn't do much in the 2v2 format. For the top 3, not that surprising. Nice video, thanks you!

Your video quality has really gone up! Superb editing

The bug type is my favorite type in the game so I feel so glad that you picked it for the first of this kind of videos after the 3 starting types. Great work as always Wolfey!

Okay the invincible cut was just *chefs kiss* 2:47

Yo, shoutouts to the editor for all of the clean special effects! Very good looking vid

Love this style of editing keep it up
