Wolfe Glick (Born 6 December 1995)[3], also known as Wolfey or WolfeyVGC, is an American competitive Pokémon player, streamer and YouTuber. He is the 2016 World Champion of the official Pokémon Video Game Championships (VGC) format,[4] as well as winning numerous other VGC competitions. Glick has been called one of the best VGC players of all time,[5] along with the likes of Ray Rizzo and Se-jun Park.

Glick's team building skills are known around the VGC community, with his unique strategies often strongly influencing the metagame.[6][7]

His YouTube channel, WolfeyVGC, posts videos about competitive Pokémon content as well as videos appealing to the average Pokémon fan. The channel has over 700K subscribers and around 150M channel views.[8]

Competitive Pokémon

Wolfe Glick's debut to competitive Pokémon was in 2011, where he made it to the World Championships, placing 6th overall. He won the Washington, DC Regionals and US Nationals in Indianapolis to qualify.[9][10]

Following his 2nd placing at the 2012 World Championships, Glick's team was added into the Pokémon World Tournament facility in the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 games. Accessible via an optional download, the "2012 Masters Division Challenge",[11] players could battle a trainer in-game with his team. The battle followed the same ruleset as the 2012 VGC format.[12]

This achievement is commonly thought to be the peak of his VGC career.[13] Wolfe Glick played Johnathan Evans in the 2016 finals. Glick beat Evans 2-0 in their best of 3 set, being crowned the World Champion.[4][13]

From 2011-2018 he qualified for Worlds every year and then again in 2022. After he won the 2019 North American International Championships, Glick became the first player to win a Regional, National, International and World Championship.[14]
