Legendary Pokemon player brings back his most infamous strategy for another massive tournament win: "I don't think I've ever lost a tournament with Perish"

Legendary Pokemon video game championships player Wolfe "Wolfey" Glick has won yet another enormous tournament running the classic strategy that's now secured him wins at multiple other massive competitions – Perish Trap.

As the name suggests, Perish Trap relies on the move Perish Song, which on its own makes all Pokemon who've heard it (including its user) faint after three turns. This fate can be avoided if you just switch your affected Pokemon out, but there are ways to prevent this, such as the ability Shadow Tag. This deadly combination is exactly what Wolfey brought with him to the Pokemon Europe International Championships over the weekend, with a Scream Tail to sing and a Gothitelle with Shadow Tag to prevent his opponents' Pokemon from escaping.
