I always thought that Cubone and Marrowak are ground type because their design might have been based on the long-horned cow skull in the desert trope, the desert being where the ground type comes from.
BayLaugh Animations Nah. They're were supposed to be part of the Kangaskhan line, but Gamefreak changed it at the last minute. So, Cubone owns a Kangaskhan skull.

@@aerospherology2001 Magnitude is only better if you know how to manipulate the RNG (basically, to always get Magnitude 14, which is 140 power). If you don't know to, you'll usually get a magnitude on the 5-10 range (and so you'll be better just using Earthquake).
"Flappies with wingies, and groundies in the dirt..." That's beautiful. Just saying, in Gen 1, Ground was stupid powerful. I had a Dugtrio that literally killed everything without wings in one hit. Earthquake was kinda unbalanced in Red/Blue.
Hilariously, I had a twitter poll on what type to do next, and ground type was the LEAST voted... but the video was already 3/4ths finished. haha! The winner was Ghost for next I believe, but what should we do after that?
You should do a video on what you think could be the next Pokemon type that Game Freak adds in the future. Show why that would make sense as a type based on why the other 18 are types and what current Pokemon could change their typings to compensate for the new type like how Clefairy was normal and became a fairy type in gen 6
Lockstin keep it up! I don't want this to be the last year of gnoggin. We need great youtubers like you on this platform. Stay awesome and never stop using your gnoggin!
Well, it kind of would make sense with how he handled the possibility and logic of Phanpy being a normal type, instead of Ground type. Mostly it would be something that doesn´t have any special attributes to itself, and does...usual stuff. Diggersby would be an example of that too. Aside from using it´s ears to dig around, they don`t have any special attributes aside of that, and can live outside of the ground, and do other activities. It can be applied to the other Ground types of this video, but they have other particularities that wouldn´t allow them to be a Normal type. Also, Normal types by their movepool, we can see they are Pokémon able to adapt to their evironment in many cases. That´s the reason why Normal types have such a huge versatility of moves in their disposal. This theory is proven even more, when the moves Nature Power, Camouflage, Conversion & Conversion2 are Normal type moves; it shows how this Pokemon can adapt to their evironment to their respective needs. This description makes sense for most types of Pokemon, since some of them learn a lot of moves from different types, either through men`s intervention, or through by their process of adaptation. An example of this, would be Cinccino and Toucannon. They can learn moves from their typing, but they also use as ways of protection, moves to protect themselves against menaces, being those moves Bullet Seed and Rock Blast; Grass type and Rock type moves respectively. The only one that comes to my mind that doesn´t make sense is the Porygon line. They are manmade Pokemon, designed through a computer and got to our world. For this, they should be Electric type only, but they aren´t. They can learn Electric type moves, but also they learn their moves through machine made artifacts...which should be an obvious fact, considering is a man made creature, and not a natural creature.
I don't really see how normal types would be that hard. Most normal types are normal just because... Well, they're normal. They're not as special as something like a dragon and can probably be seen in the real world, if not, something similar to it is seen in the real world. Edit: By real world, I meant common animals. Such as Eevee being close to an animal like a dog or cat. I know a lot of Pokémon are based off real world animals even if they aren't normal types.
If you didn't already have the grass thumbnail ready, I'd suggest psychic. No matter what type you do next though, I'm definitely going to watch. These videos are really entertaining.
Believe me, I LOOKED! Looked all over, couldn't find any that I particularly liked (and that were appropriate). Ground just isn't one of those types. I now worry this video will suffer.
Ground type's weakness to: -Water: Water erodes soil -Grass: Trees grow on the ground -Ice: Frosts can make the ground into glaciers and useless for planting.
1:06 I was thinking the exact same thing, and we actually can go further: Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals are made from metals. Sand is basically smashed rocks, and ground, dirt, soil... is a mixture of rocks, sand, bacteria and organic material from bugs, plants and fungi. Where do you put the line between the types Plant, Bug, Ground, Rock and Steel?
You know, in few years, you will have to do recap episodes on these when new pokemon come out. Or will you be explaining all the types with every new generation?
You forgot one detail about Marshtomp and Swampert: As the name of their first form would suggest, they're based off of mudskippers. Incidentally, maybe the Ground type actually stands for ground-ed, like an electrical ground, hence their immunity to electrical attacks? Perhaps it describes their properties more than their composition or lifestyle? Just a thought...
2:40 Still one of my favorite jokes of this channel, it has clever, not on the nose build-up despite being unexpected, it is concise and precise, it doesn't overstay its welcome. Perfect
Sean Dewar like in this he says "small rocks, dirt dust" how can you say that for dark? It would be like "it lives in darkness" and "it has a dark story" nothing else much, I would like it but it would be kinda repetitive
many dark type do have extended lore which gives them a reason why they are Dark types, whether it's in their pokedex entries, or in the inspiration.It's not impossible to do
(Talking about why Palpitoad and Semitoad are ground types) 'and using the large sacs on their bodies, they can cause ripple in the mud and *add plays with happy music* Me: *Writing the information down without looking up* So, like tympole, they can make music.
I would love to see a dragon type episode, but instead of explaining the types, which are mostly self explanatory, find a mythological connection to each dragon type. Explain how each one relates to a "real" dragon.
Well, that would be repetitive for Garchomp and Flygon then; since it was explained in this video. Although none of them are actually based on actual dragons, but in monsters and living creatures respectively. Garchomp as explained, comes from the Land shark, or known as Bullette in the D&D games. Mostly this are literally that; creatures that are sharks that bury underground specting their prey and attack, and it´s also their normal evironment. Flygon is mostly the play of words of the "dragon flies", but it also has features of the mystical dessert creatures mentioned on the video. Dratini family is really easy, since they are based in Oriental and European mythological dragons. Dratini and Dragonair enter the first, where they don´t have limbs and they are just a serpent body, but they also have access to different types of "magic" (shown by their movepool, since Dragon types can learn many moves from almost all types). Dragonite is the European based dragon, and has the same properties as it´s pre evolutions, but they have limbs, and posses abilities to master any magic. Kingdra and Dragalge would be a play of words only by the creature they are based off; sea dragons. The only explanaition behind Mega Ampharos, it´s due to it´s japanese name being Denryu, which literally means "Electric Dragon". It is also further seen that it´s mostly based on Chinese dragons. Rayquaza and it´s Mega form are mostly based is on Japanese dragons, which have serpent bodies, but have 2 limbs as arms, with 3 fingers. This is also proven since most of the Japanese dragons are shown to be mostly on the air, contrary to other variants of dragons. It would also make sense by the Pokemon lore, since it´s the leader of the weather Trio, thus it´s his work to maintain balance in the weather that is available in the world. And the list goes on explaining each Dragon type, which isn´t complicated. Maybe for the ones that aren´t actual dragons, but they are more lizards, or something else (like Mega Sceptile, Noivern, Tyrantrum and Alolan Exeggutor).
Beast King I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure mega amphrados along with it's name is a dragon type cause it's a refference to the dragon who gaurded the golden fleece in greek mythology
Beast King Vibrava and Flygon are based on the adult antlion, which has wings. According to Bulbapedia, some antlion species are nicknamed "sand dragons," which is probably why they're ground/dragon type.
Yes! Nice! Youve done both of my favorite types! Poison and ground. Thank you~ and this series is so wonderful. Thank you very much for your hard work on these. I really hope that you can keep going and cover all the types. And as for the next one. The 3 suggestions you showed us are good. If i had to pick one. Id say ghost. And i have a question. How are you gonna cover new pokemon from types that youve already done with? Would you just not bother cuz itd be to stressful to try to keep up with everything? Would you edit and update the videos that youve already done? Would would you make separate vid or vids for the newly added ones? Im sorry for asking such a ridiculous question. Its just im loving this so much and im genuinely curious. Apologies.
7:51 - It would actually make a lot of sense. Compare it to armor concepts for humans: Hard plating where possible, and more flexible materials wherever not. Same for the Ryhorn line: Rigid stone armor where possible, and packed dirt and mud in spots where stones would otherwise impede movement.
This and the poke alchemy series (which i am counting the this is the end series with) are my favorite series you do and i love the new style. Long story short i just love the videos
Torterra is honestly my favorite ground type Pokémon, Turtwig was my first starter Pokémon so I have a lot of fond memories associated with it and it's evolutions.
Cubone and Marowak are Ground for a symbolic reason: Death. All living beings that are deceased decompose into the soil, they become one with the Earth. Cubone's evolution line (including Kangaskahn despite the fact it was censored) are based on the endless cycle of life and death. A concept known as The Circle of Life.
megagutsman Yes it is. It was later changed by Nintendo. They even changed it's typing to further distance it from the evolutionary line. This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn. Cubone was eventually supposed to become a mother (Kangaskahn) who dies and the baby becomes another Cubone, that's the whole point of the evolutionary line. The mother dies and Cubone wears it's skull. Marowak already *has* a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship. Cubone *literally calls Kangaskahn* in Sun&Moon rather than Marowak, because Kangaskahn is it's *actual* mother.
*+Queen Strong* *"This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn."* That's BS. There are more than one type of MissingNo and all of them solely exist because of a programming mistake. You cannot use them to establish any kind of canon. *"Marowak already has a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship."* Nope, Cubone's skull doesn't look at all like a Kangaskhan skull, for one is literally too small. It looks more like a Charizard or a Aerodactyl skull.
megagutsman But *the one that evolves into Kangaskahn specifically* has Marowak's cry. Are you an idiot or can you not piece together that this was leftover game data that was scrapped (though not removed). Thats what Gamefreak did during the Gameboy days because it was too difficult and time consuming for them to remove sections of code. It's called putting 2 and 2 together. As the skull evolves it would fit to Cubone's head as it isn't entirely a Kangaskahn yet. That isn't proof against anything that's just common sense. I actually can't believe that people are still this delusional to deny the obvious connection here. Not only was this nearly confirmed before Gen 7, it was literally confirmed during Gen 7 due to the fact that Cubone *call* Kangaskahn and not Marowak.
megagutsman Things get scrapped and/or changed around during development, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Cubone and Kangaskahn are both related. What you're really doing is Autistically nitpicking even though the facts are stacked against you. Do you actually think that Gamefreak is going to *literally flat-out say* that the two are related when they themselves tried to scrap the connection and made the concious decision to divide then into separate pokemon? Use your brain.
Pretty sure that small/agile animals are default normal, but big, bulky animals are default ground but idk - that might explain the rhino/elephant ones
Greay video! Do you have the names of the songs used in the video? Specially the 1st one? I loved them, they were so chill! Amazing series, keep it up!
PokeTheory #1: The breeding and digging causes Nidoran to rapidly level up and she bumps into a Moon stone along the way(probably because she was attracted to it). PokeTheory #2: Motherhood, like friendship, brings out the true strength of pokemon!
In regards to how Ground and Rock types differ, I think they just view the elements differently in Japan. Ground types are subterranean Pokémon that use the earth to attack, while Rock types are like the "Mountain-type," given the significance of mountains in Japan, that use rocks to attack. Closely related, but different.
Zygarde is the most anime Pokémon and is basically a ground type voltron. All his cells and cores come together to make a giant fighting mecha version of Captain Planet
"Bone type" .... Bones are found underground, ah ha! Fossils finally make sense! Oh, no wait all fossils are rock type... Not ground... What is the difference between rock and ground? I need answers

And the list goes on explaining each Dragon type, which isn´t complicated. Maybe for the ones that aren´t actual dragons, but they are more lizards, or something else (like Mega Sceptile, Noivern, Tyrantrum and Alolan Exeggutor).
I'm impressed, Beast King. Way to use your gnoggin.
Beast King I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure mega amphrados along with it's name is a dragon type cause it's a refference to the dragon who gaurded the golden fleece in greek mythology
A Dragon Type video would be cool if it wont turn into a "why isnt charizard a dragon but other Pkm Meme" cauz they are annoying.
Beast King Vibrava and Flygon are based on the adult antlion, which has wings. According to Bulbapedia, some antlion species are nicknamed "sand dragons," which is probably why they're ground/dragon type.
I can't wait for the eventual "it lives in the water" category of water types x)
Gnoggin, do every grass type Pokémon next please.😆😆😆🌱🌱🌱
NativeWalker Adrian hes done it already i think
Icewolfgamer Clash royale and more, He has not yet you might be confused by one of the other types he has done.
He already has the thumbnail soooooo
NativeWalker Adrian most likely xD
NativeWalker Adrian Do it for the gardening.
13:35 Groudon's Omega form 😂 😂 😂
Anyway love these vids. Will you do 1 video for every typing?
Every Ice type explained please.
I LOVE when you do these types of videos it’s crazy how much detail you go into man keep it up :)
Yes! Nice! Youve done both of my favorite types! Poison and ground. Thank you~ and this series is so wonderful. Thank you very much for your hard work on these. I really hope that you can keep going and cover all the types. And as for the next one. The 3 suggestions you showed us are good. If i had to pick one. Id say ghost. And i have a question. How are you gonna cover new pokemon from types that youve already done with? Would you just not bother cuz itd be to stressful to try to keep up with everything? Would you edit and update the videos that youve already done? Would would you make separate vid or vids for the newly added ones? Im sorry for asking such a ridiculous question. Its just im loving this so much and im genuinely curious. Apologies.
2:54 Those are called Weenises, the skin on the end of an elbow.
Whiscash is also based on the namazu which is a Japanese catfish which causes earthquakes
7:51 - It would actually make a lot of sense. Compare it to armor concepts for humans: Hard plating where possible, and more flexible materials wherever not. Same for the Ryhorn line: Rigid stone armor where possible, and packed dirt and mud in spots where stones would otherwise impede movement.
Psychic or Fighting?
Both?
he allready did fighting
He's asking which do u like more
nathan walton I see ground poison rock and steel in his play list where is the fighting type
Ice I was lied to.

Cubone and Marowak get their bones from the graveyards and they had to dig them out that may be a good reason for why they're ground type.
Here again 'cause Lockstin said this video needs more love.
And it indeed deserves more love. ❤
I freaking love these type explanations, and now that you teased that grass typing... you really should do that :)
12:03 "Hey that's just a theory" a game theory!
All these explanations are well grounded in reality. You sure are down to earth!
"Pokemon Pokenon O how you're diverse. From flappys with wingys, to groundies in the dirts" A true masterpiece.
perfect present for my birthday, love this kind of videos, keep the goodwork
I wish rock & ground would be re-branded as "earth" type. Having them separate just seems tedious IMO.
IKR
I love ground and rock type. I like ground type more though because I love the desert.
This is why grass type is a thing
@@JeffV
What do you mean?
@@brandonprater4613 too much plant life
This and the poke alchemy series (which i am counting the this is the end series with) are my favorite series you do and i love the new style. Long story short i just love the videos
9:34 Quagsire is So Derpy
This is my favorite video out of all your other type videos cuz I specialize with ground types
"What? No! Cubone is bone type! Dogs have a weakness for bones!"
~Dorkly
Also barboach is based on a loach, not a catfish.
6:20 Gordon, watch out for those Trapinch on the way to Nova Prospekt!
Pokémon Pokémon oh how your diverse
From flappys with wingys
From groundies in the dirts
Torterra is honestly my favorite ground type Pokémon, Turtwig was my first starter Pokémon so I have a lot of fond memories associated with it and it's evolutions.
10:17 "IT'S AN ENENMY STAND!"
This series is one my favorites on your. Channel!! Keep it up thank you for giving us awesome videos.
oh boy I love me some
*GROUNDIES IN THE DIRTS*
Scorpion flies were also in the Stephen King novella called The Mist.
Cubone and Marowak are Ground for a symbolic reason: Death.
All living beings that are deceased decompose into the soil, they become one with the Earth. Cubone's evolution line (including Kangaskahn despite the fact it was censored) are based on the endless cycle of life and death. A concept known as The Circle of Life.
Kangaskhan was never part of Cubone's evolutionary line, that's simply an old and outdated rumor.
megagutsman Yes it is. It was later changed by Nintendo. They even changed it's typing to further distance it from the evolutionary line. This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn.
Cubone was eventually supposed to become a mother (Kangaskahn) who dies and the baby becomes another Cubone, that's the whole point of the evolutionary line. The mother dies and Cubone wears it's skull. Marowak already *has* a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship.
Cubone *literally calls Kangaskahn* in Sun&Moon rather than Marowak, because Kangaskahn is it's *actual* mother.
*+Queen Strong* *"This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn."*
That's BS. There are more than one type of MissingNo and all of them solely exist because of a programming mistake. You cannot use them to establish any kind of canon.
*"Marowak already has a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship."*
Nope, Cubone's skull doesn't look at all like a Kangaskhan skull, for one is literally too small. It looks more like a Charizard or a Aerodactyl skull.
megagutsman But *the one that evolves into Kangaskahn specifically* has Marowak's cry. Are you an idiot or can you not piece together that this was leftover game data that was scrapped (though not removed). Thats what Gamefreak did during the Gameboy days because it was too difficult and time consuming for them to remove sections of code. It's called putting 2 and 2 together.
As the skull evolves it would fit to Cubone's head as it isn't entirely a Kangaskahn yet. That isn't proof against anything that's just common sense.
I actually can't believe that people are still this delusional to deny the obvious connection here. Not only was this nearly confirmed before Gen 7, it was literally confirmed during Gen 7 due to the fact that Cubone *call* Kangaskahn and not Marowak.
megagutsman Things get scrapped and/or changed around during development, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Cubone and Kangaskahn are both related.
What you're really doing is Autistically nitpicking even though the facts are stacked against you. Do you actually think that Gamefreak is going to *literally flat-out say* that the two are related when they themselves tried to scrap the connection and made the concious decision to divide then into separate pokemon? Use your brain.
I am grateful for channels like this who break down origins of 🎮 but this took the cake! Much Respect!
I'd love to see either Dark types or Electric types be done next.
Pretty sure that small/agile animals are default normal, but big, bulky animals are default ground but idk - that might explain the rhino/elephant ones
This video made me realize that none of the slug/snail Pokémon are bug type isn’t that weird
Jeremy Wilson he does that joke a lot. Lol
Well, because they aren't bugs. They're mollusks
Professor Nichols neither are isopods, which is what golisopod is based off of
**X-Files theme plays**
True bugs belong to a specific order of insect, hemiptera.
I like how you used a clip from the movie Tremors as the Graboids tend to usually be underground until they become a shrieker.
Ok how do you pronounce Gligar Correctly but not Gliscor?
Greay video! Do you have the names of the songs used in the video? Specially the 1st one? I loved them, they were so chill! Amazing series, keep it up!
Real question, how does nidoqueen dig burrows for it’s young??? Can’t it only breed as a nidorino?
*nidorina
PokeTheory #1: The breeding and digging causes Nidoran to rapidly level up and she bumps into a Moon stone along the way(probably because she was attracted to it).
PokeTheory #2: Motherhood, like friendship, brings out the true strength of pokemon!
Gnoggin actually already did a video on this. Nidorina and Nidoqueen are only unable to breed when in captivity, much like real-life female rhinos.
In regards to how Ground and Rock types differ, I think they just view the elements differently in Japan. Ground types are subterranean Pokémon that use the earth to attack, while Rock types are like the "Mountain-type," given the significance of mountains in Japan, that use rocks to attack. Closely related, but different.
Someone’s starting to sound like MatPat lol
Yes! A new video of these series. I love these!
Give us the ghostie boys next.
Yeah, he's doing ghost next.
Please do all types, that kind of videos are so amazinggg :333
11:56 A FILM THEORY!!!
Already love the Tremors reference 5 seconds in, thanks pal
You have Pokemon from Savannah habitats but never a game based on one.
Lloyd Irving Afrofuturist Pokémon game when
I think Wooper is also based on the axolotl, which is an amphibious salamander
11:50
That’s one thicc land shark 👌 👌 👌
Zygarde is the most anime Pokémon and is basically a ground type voltron. All his cells and cores come together to make a giant fighting mecha version of Captain Planet
"Bone type" .... Bones are found underground, ah ha! Fossils finally make sense! Oh, no wait all fossils are rock type... Not ground... What is the difference between rock and ground? I need answers
I have no idea
They should just fuse Rock and Ground into one type called "Earth". It's kinda stupid they haven't already.
You can thank Terminal Montage for his incredible animations that you took part in, which led to me taking interest in watching your pokémon videos. Finding good content for pokémon is much harder than people might think.
What? I thought wooper was based on the Axolotl D:
it is, he messed up
Sick editing. Love your content bro, keep it up :)

Cubone is a nice example for the difference between rock and ground.
Primal not omega
4:27 diglett. We don't see its body and we don't see Cubones face. I rest my case, your Honor
sandstorm is rock type because sand is crumpled rock
BAM Easy
Hey, I've enjoyed all of your vids for years! Have you thought of doing every Dragon type?
