I'm an entomologist and I dabble in competitive Pokemon. Think of this channel as a diet fusion of BKC and Angela Collier.
For the three other people in the world who are interested in both parasitoid wasps and the OU metagame, I welcome you. It's nice to meet kindred spirits.

I qualified for my first pokemon tournament. Here's how it went.
I made it into an eight-person bracket tournament to see who was the greatest trainer in my pokemon draft league. Let's watch the games, analyze some incredible tactics and underrated pokemon, and react with awe and disgust to some of the greatest blunders in pokemon scarlet and violet history.
The format is a single elimination draft tournament played on pokemon showdown. Thank you to the folks at Professional Draft League for hosting this event. Find more content over at www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalDraftLeague

Do African Wild Dogs REALLY Vote by Sneezing?
Can confirm that's how the turn 1 happened
No spoliers but that upset was CRAZY!! Congrats on the new setup btw, the camera defs looks nicer
I'm a randbags gamer, but since finding this channel, I've actually been experimenting with teambuilding and having a really good time. It's the first time I've ver really done that. I hope this channel takes off, because Singles needs some really straightforward guides on teambuilding.
i have a hard time understanding where comfey thrives.
meowscarada is a great counter lead to basically every big stupid ground type and an excellent switch in to big stupid water types that aim to get momentum. makes the opponent think twice about leading tusk as it would simply die. plus meowscarada gives you good insurance against other HO stuff.
if only torkoal were great tusk with drought. i mean hes got rapid spin and stealth rock thats basically a great tusk.
hell yeah bird up
We're on a streak of mediocrity, folks. These early gen pokemon are OU, but they're struggling (except you, dragonite).
Coming from Fighting games, i really missed these "dedicated character tutorials". Many people make a history lesson and call it a guide
Thank you for the informative video on Blaziken and explaining the Tera choices!
Blazin Kickin Chicken himself.
You’re cooking with these infographics. I don’t play enough OU to do much team building but I think you’ve really got something here. Tyranocif 📈
Thank you for the video, but I have a question in regards to the Tera choices you listed. Why is Dragon the choice for Skarmory and when should it Tera?
I like to put Tera ground on it bc of electric/ fire types and it learns drill run. I let it stay in against an electric/fire types and Tera on that turn. I think they put dragon bc it’s weak to both electric and fire, it gets rid of those weaknesses.
Had to leave a like for a fellow sand enthusiast
But, Scizor don't learn Roost in Gen 9 OU
W video, it would be really cool if you did slither wing's viability in OU.
Thank you for the video regarding Tyrannitar! Keep it up 👍

Something I feel is missing from your great analysis is the tera explanation. Like, why that specific tera type and when is it a good time to tera your pokemon?
Oo, yeah, that's a great idea! I'll try adding in a little segment for the gen III pokemon. I wish showdown recorded tera stats.
Thank you for the video!
If there is any synergy between the two, it's probably something to do with offense and/or speed control, because I can't think of any other correlation
Great vid!!!
I tried taking Protect + Lefties Scizor is a sort of homage to pre-roost scizor. It failed miserably except in the matchups against Kyurem. #bringbackRoostScizor
The way you visually organize the information is 10/10 What software do you use to make it? It looks like a plugin I use called "Excellidraw" Either-way, keep up the good work. Your visual clarity and commentary make a great watch :)
Not sure how my algorithm got me here but I love it post more!
The zapdos and moltres videos are real similar, so you really only need to watch one. Uploaded both for completeness, but apologies to you folk who might be beguiled into seeing two in a row .
Just try to stop me from watching both
Just getting into competitive VGC after missing 4 generations. I stopped playing after green 4 for a long time. This info is amazing. Thank you. Subbed.
The little guides are great! I love your calm & informative style
I liked this video honestly. Venusaur is a simple guy but you laid out the teambuilding idea very well. Could you do a video on maushold?
Yes, I definitely want to! Maushold is wonderful and interesting to build around. (But I'm going in dex order through the OU viable pokemon for a new years resolution, so it might be a month or two. Sorry maushold, hang tight🐁.)
Here's the set (very standard). I'm sure there are wackier things out there. Sample Set: Venusaur @ Life Orb Ability: Chlorophyll Tera Type: Fire EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Weather Ball - Sludge Bomb - Growth - Giga Drain
There was an RMT by Cape Canaveral released on November 5 featuring Ninetales, Walking Wake, Hatterene, Landorus-Therian, Lokix and Raging Bolt. I imagine people playing this team would be the cause. Lando-T is also pretty unique on a sun team, as I think most people would generally choose Tusk instead. If you look at the usage stats, Lando-T's usage is only just above Lokix's, and Great Tusk's usage with Ninetales dropped off from last month
Dude what the hell he's doing shorts now? The brainrot is real. Godspeed on this fine boxing day you funky little man
you have cool friends to give you gifts like that
Where did you find the fan-made Arcane Pokémon?
Haven't watched it yet but this one's a banger!
this morning I woke up with a hangover, a commute, and 3,000 wasps to classify before my lunch break, this video is a real life saver!
Gamefreak is really going all in on bug types in Gen 10 I guess, fair enough since they're long overdue for a buff. You've got a knack for this science communication stuff! I found the video really engrossing and am now fully invested in this waspy journey. If you're looking to scare the public, maybe explicitly say "parisitic wasp trapping" and slap the scariest wasp picture you can find in there. Parasitoid by itself isn't super punchy if you're not in the space I think. And it's a long way down the track but when you're working on a field Id app it'd be worth looking into cheap microphones or macro lens adapters for phone cameras, since regular phones would probably just see specks. Very excited to see what kind of correlations you can cook up!
Cool project! It sounds to me as though you are testing for field predictions after running preliminary tests. IE. you take measurements in locations A, B, and C, then formulate a hypothesis, then take measurements at location D in order to test your hypothesis. What is the benefit of this over taking measurements at A, B, C and D concurrently? You could analyse the combined data, then confirm trends hold up for each location. Or alternatively, if you really wanted to have confirmation from an independent location, you could just hold the data from location D separately as more of a test dataset, and not use it in formulating initial results.
Boring answer to a wonderful question: we’re just constrained by resources. I’ll be running all of my traps concurrently, so my thesis in isolation will be set up broadly how you describe. I’ll use a subset of my traps as a test dataset for cross-validation. Problem is the broader bioindicator project needs a lot more data than I can gather in a year. For the purposes of academia, it’s easier to market this as a test run for a future PhD-level research project. Wish I had a cool experimental reason, but alas. Man, though, it would be amazing if we could get traps out in a few unrelated sites as well, to use as “Site D’s” immediately. Great idea, but I just don’t think we have the manpower. Thanks for the question! Not sure if I answered it exactly, but it really got me thinking, which is great 🐛🐝
@@ParasitoidHenry Makes a lot of sense. The other thing I was wondering about were the yellow pan traps. The fact that they are called yellow pan traps implies that the colour plays some important role in its function. Are the wasps specifically attracted to yellow?
I enjoy a good beret and wanted one for ages, but it's been really stereotyped in the past.
Fantastic team this week! Great to see the prep really pay off and make for an incredible battle at the end. Rillaboom MVP by far!
Does anyone (is anybody out there?) have any fun ideas for how to title these videos? I'm kinda just following whimsy at the moment, but I'm sure there are better selling points out there in the ideas-aether. 🐝🐝🐝Also, thank you muchly everybody for watching! Making these videos has been a lot of fun 🐝🐝🐝
Thinking maybe each video could be listed as a part of a tournament (ie: Tournament Name Part 2: Monkey Buissness). Love the pregame review!

I have returned from the beyond to subscribe. This is nice analysis
I miss the old Parasitoid Henry (Director of Thomas - The Problem With Trolleys (Director's Cut))
Hi! Long time listener third time commenter. Just here to boost the engagement. I don't know anything about sunfish tickle-emporium proprietors, nor am I a mermaid. I am very much enjoying seeing the progressive embettering of these videos' production as the tournament goes on. I'm expecting that by the finale you'll be making poke-video-essays of a scale so as to rival Philosophy Tube herself.
And speaking as a not-yet-incoroporeal entity, I would be willing to bet that anyone who sits through an hour of extremely dense pokemon theorycrafting and still has enough verve left in the tank to leave a comment would want as much balls-to-the-wall detail as can be fit on the page. Frankly, the option A type chart isn't convoluted enough. Maybe you can introduce flashing animated elements to denote the 4x weaknesses and resistances. Incorporate some big red arrows and circles as well. You know the type.
I love team building around a niche like this. Dragapult is my favorite mon though so he shows up on a lot of my teams lol 😅
i think comfey most likely has plumeria flowers though i like the idea of it climbing up on things. not sure about hat being an australopithecus, that's a bit of a head scratcher (because hats are known for scratching heads). qotd: you're welcome.
