A video about Qwilfish? It's more likely than you think! Because in Pokemon Legends Arceus Game Freak gave us Hisuian Qwilfish and a Qwilfish evolution named Overqwil! It's a BIIIIIG poisonous fish, and it's a dark-type pokemon now? Why is that? Why is it poison-type too? And why is it in Hisui of all places? And come to think of it, just how poisonous is Qwilfish? How could a Qwilfish kill you? Would it be a near-death experience? or would it be overkill?

Hi
Hi!
For five minutes. Could we go a Comment section without porn bots existing. FOR FIVE MINUTES
@@austindemuynck9460 no :(
@@iaminsideyourwalls8776 reality is often disappointing
The endangered part actually fits in with another aspect: In other games, Qwilfish don’t appear very often, but in PLA, Hisuian Qwilfish are in abundance!
Stop speaking french
@@youtubestudiosucks978 It appears you don't know what English looks like when you see it.
Are you alright? Do you need to go see somebody?
Also fits with the 5% rarity in the older games
It’s because they went from dark to water type!
@@rjs4176 I'm pretty sure they were joking lmao
I'd just like to mention one thing about Overqwil; the name sounds more like a Ben10 transformation than a Pokemon Species
But you gotta admit that name is fantastic
YOU’RE RIGHT!
I mean, isn’t Gutrot based off of Koffing? So it kinda wraps back around!
I cant unhear it now thanks
"SWAMPFIRE!"
"Ben, that's overkill."
"No, I don't have an alien called Overkill, otherwise I'd yell OVERKILL when I transformed."
@@dafroakie9984 I was thinking of that scene EXACTLY
The fact that pufferfish have so many adaptations to make them more difficult and dangerous to eat, and humanity is still eating them to extinction. At this point it's almost just impressive
It's not about the taste of the fish, nothing tastes as good as a challenge afterall
And that its being difficult and dangerous is the reason it's being overeaten no less! Really backfired.
@@brotbrotsen1100 too much people eat it because it have good taste. Even in my country they do it too, of course die a lot too
@@jaschabull2365 Look at peppers and other spicy plants, the spice was meant to be a deter creatures from eating the plants but us humans ended up loving it. Sometimes a defensive adaptation just makes you better to eat.
@@caiusdrakegaming8087
Yes, but we should consider not doing it when the population is at a dangerous level though
I'm really glad we live in a timeline where Quilfish, noboby's favorite pokemon, let alone a pokemon anyone actually remembered or cared about can get it's own day in the sun with more interesting contextualization. It really goes to show what a genius idea regional variants were and why it was one of the few modern ideas in the games that have stuck around past the region it was introduced in
I've always loved qwilfish, it's just I didn't use him because he didn't evolve and isn't the strongest but that doesn't mean anything, the same is said for a lot of cute pokemon. I've been DYING for him to get an evolution, and I went in without knowing about him so when I saw hisuian qwilfish, I was elated.
Now Meractus needs that treatment.
I just wish that regular Qwilfish wasn’t stranded without an evolution :(
@@bensjammin9 especially since Overqwil really *could* have worked as a straight cross-gen like Wyrdeer. the new form doesn't add much of anything, it's not like Galarian Corsola where it's a totally different vibe and concept from the original. i had this same problem with G-Farfetch'd, and to a lesser extent H-Basculin as well.
@@banzaimarten9114 completely agreed.
Overqwil is absolutely a sea mine, playing back into Gen 2's subtle post-war background themes
That was my immediate thought the first time I saw it. Instant Finding Nemo flashbacks.
...
Maybe that's why they aren't around anymore.
Huh, this would make it fit right in with Avalugg's aircraft carrier inspiration.
Overqwil can learn self-destruct.
@@lysander9957 *_SWIM AWAY!_*
I love how even back in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they hinted that Qwilfish would not only get an new regional form, but also a new evolution that evolves into Overqwil in "The Sea Legend" book in Canalave Library
Yeah. Overquill is a nice addition to the roster of Pokémon who get the spotlight for once.
Yes. Way back in BDSP. All the way in :checks notes: November 2021.
@@xF3arl lmao
Why dies it translate to french when i dont speak french?
@Korero Korero how are you supposed to know what to do if you don't own BDSP(which costs $60), yet alone check a random book in the library where most bookshelves won't even let you read anything from them? May was well google it.
Throwing a bit of additional info in: Fugu fish raised in a controlled environment will not have the poison, since they're not being fed the bacteria that would create the poison to begin with. But not being potentially lethal makes it unwanted...
This isn't surprising at all
I would eat sushi that doesn't kill me...
All the flavor with none of the lethal toxins so you can decide for yourself if you think eating the jelly bones fish is worth it.
Humans when poison that kill yes when safe no
See now that’s what’s I’m willing to eat
to me the irony of fugu is that it’s mostly tasteless. it’s a very subtle and nuanced flavor. you’d think for such a risk it would taste incredible.
Eating poisonous food is one of those “go ahead and do it. Get out of my gene pool” kinds of decisions to me.
Alcohol is poison
@@youtubestudiosucks978 not in the same way as fugu
Either I get to eat delicious fish. Or I die.
It's a win no matter what happens!

@@owltoe0164 bounsweet regional form
The name “overquill” is just great
@18plus --21💦 omg it's life changing
Thank you so much....
Sounds like a ben 10 name.
Also, SIX BOTS?! Report their ass.
Too much quill!!!
Ever since I heard it, I knew I needed it on my team
Idk, it sounds kinda dumb to me
I'm worried about all the exposure you've had to Qwilfish in this episode. If you begin to have any symptoms of being poisoned, make sure you find a Chansey or make it to a Pokecenter right away.

I was kind of disappointed that they didn't lean in harder on the naval mine inspiration for Hisuian Qwilfish and make it the first Steel/Poison type.
That poor thing would not be able to move.
I suspect that wouldn't fit the ancient history theme of the game. Though then again, this is the game which depicted a premodern smart phone.
@@jaschabull2365 that's time travel stuff
that poor thing would get annihilated by ground type moves
@@jaschabull2365 Actually it would work, the water in Hisui is apparently high in iron which is why Sliggoo and Goodra are Dragon/Steel. Qwilfish and Overqwil being Steel/Poison would have been pretty fitting in an ecological sense.
Back in gen 2-3 singles, qwilfish was actually a good intimidate and spike support mon. Power creep has since phased it out, though.
If I may ask, what even is power creep? I hear it everywhere in competitive Pokémon.
@@wackyanimations3326 Power creep is a concept in many games that add new things on top of the older things that were previously introduced. Basically, when the developers add something new to a game or franchise, they want the new thing to matter, usually making it more useful, versatile... or just better. When this differences are implemented they may be small but across the span of generations they start to stack. For this reason, pokemon of gen 2 are generally more boring and weaker than pokemon introduced in gen 8.
Qwilfish always stayed decent until gen 7 where here yeah power creep was just too much
Qwilfish only gain Intimidate until gen 5 but it's been holding on quite well for a mon with mediocre stats , using it with the right moves is quite fun to mess around.
@@sergiotorresperalto7900 ah, thanks!
In Brazil, pufferfish is popular too, in the state of Espirito Santo, a delicious dish named moqueca capixaba, made with the smooth puffer, that is not very poisonous like the ones in Japan
eu fui pesquisar e que nojo puta que pariu
Pera, moqueca leva baiacu???????
credo vsf KWKRKKWKF
Cara, nem tanto assim na real kkk tem bastante pesca aqui no estado (sou do ES), mas baiacu não é a preferência de cara pra fazer moqueca 👀

15:37 is perfect meme material. like "my inner dialogue as I watch someone do something stupid" or something like that lol
The "no" at 17:41 caught me so off-guard that I couldn't help by laugh. Well done Lockstin, you got me. Now I am forced to like, comment, and subscribe as per the historic customs.
I love Overqwil and can’t wait to get one, best Legends ‘Mon. Super toxic, punkish, and Splatoon-y, it’s great!
…But knowing me I’ll just stay in the Crimson Mirelands forever until I complete every research task possible so I’ll have to wait a tad longer
You can actually skip across the water by using caught bibarel as stepping stones, so you could get a super early dragon type in that area if you sequence break over to the Holm of Trials. (Goomy is my favorite dragon as well.)
@@Reddotzebra you can also get there by jumping with Wyrdeer and reaching the shore just before you drown though.
@@kayschut9327 that’s what I did
@@Reddotzebra Not actually a sequence break or anything. You can jump over the river and swim a short distance to shore. Then of course you can find some Alphas like Toxicroak, Torterra, and the aforementioned Alpha Sliggoo
Splatoon boi
I was expecting you to bring up the fun fact that apparently dolphins will bonk their noses into puffed up pufferfish to get high. I heard that fact somewhere and now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure its true, but it sure is funny to think about
Definitely true, those little stoners do it all the time.
ruclips.net/video/iVqObIauPJA/видео.html
Maybe that has something to do with the whole speakeasy idea. I think a dark-type mafia based dolphin Pokémon would be sick next gen, would work especially well since dolphins are known to work in groups and can be mean if they want to be.
@@JacobPDeIiNoNi Yeah "mean" is a understatement. These guys can be outright evil and the best part is that they are apperantly smart enough to know it.
@@brotbrotsen1100 Yep. I recently heard in a youtube video about a killer whale (type of dolphin, honestly would work really well for the mafia idea) that flipped a shark onto its back- this paralyzes them- so it could eat it.
"Please don't eat fugu, they're dying at an alarming rate"
"Just like you probably will"
THAT WAS SO SAVAGE AND FOR WHAT😭😂🤣
Learned a lot about the Fugu/pufferfish poison. That said, I'm more interested in what could've happened to Hisuian Sneasel. Thinking that the variant from Johto was introduced and drove it to extinction given they both inhabit the same area. Like how the Gray Squirrel is pushing the Red Squirrel in the British isles to extinction.
I doubt that was the case, since Johto is close to Hisui/Sinnoh, Johtonian Sneasel would have likely been native or introduced to the region at one point already before Hisuian Sneasel became dominant over time. Hisuian Sneasel would have likely outcompeted Johtonian Sneasel in the past already. Hisuian Sneasel and Sneasler were also better adapted to mountainous environments, and inhabited a different ecological niche than Johotonian Sneasel and Weavile did (diurnal vs nocturnal, solitary vs social). So it's also possible that neither of the two would outcompete the other. I suspect the shift in the species was due to other factors, perhaps an environmental shift, human influence, or a shift in the food web.
But this doesn't answer why Overqwil isn't around any more... or why Qwilfish changed into its modern form to begin with.
It is stated that the Hisuian version is hated by fisherman because it makes fishing difficult. Doesn't really take much to think that they were all killed because they bothered humans. Also the hisuian version is different because it eats poisonous food. It didn't change into the modern version. Both version existed next to each other. One in hisui and one in Johto/other regions.
These MFs are aggressive as hell wouldn't be surprised if they pissed of lugia and kyogre while they were just chilling in the sea and didn't survived the encounter, afterall the only emotion they know is hate.
In the video he stated that the more poisonous the fish is the more desirable, maybe the qwilfish became less poisonous and abandoned its overly toxic evolution because of this
I have another theory that instead of people wanting to eat it, they instead just want to kill it, humans have a history of killing anything that is "evil" so instead the aggresive qwilfish plus its even more aggressive evolution got hunt into oblivion, all that left is lighter looking qwilfish dropping the dark typing ig
@@brotbrotsen1100 Lugia: 😴 OW, what was that for? 😡
Overqwil: because I felt like it, LOOSER *swims away*
Lugia: that hurt physically and emotionally. 😢
Kyogre: 😙 OW, look where your going! 😡
Overqwil: look were you keep your Wailord sized body LOOSER *swims away*
Kyogre: I'm not fat 😓😑😡 hey Lugia wanna go on a killing spree against every single Qwilfish and Overqwil in the ocean?
Lugia: sounds like fun, I know a hot spot where they gather, I'll whip up a hurricane and you disintegrate them! 😈
Kyogre: sounds like a good plan. 😈
*Days Later*
Qwilfish: OKAY OKAY YOU WIN, WE WONT EVOLVE IN OVERQWIL ANYMORE, JUST STOP KILLING US, PLEASE. 😨
Lugia: finally I can get some sleep!
Kyogre: finally I won't get poked!
@@brotbrotsen1100 ahhh yes, the Paras of the sea.
Quillfish is pretty decent in competitive. It can be a good swift swim sweeper in lower tiers and with intimidate, it can set up spikes easily.
The "it can set up spikes easily" bit actually made me chuckle.
Qwilfish is one of (if not) the best defensive Pokemon in zeroused now Cofagrigus has moved up. Tbh Qwilfish itself looks like it is going to move to PU if it receives a tiny bit more usage.
Your name looks familiar
@@fiercezeldagirlbtw5103 hey I know this person
“In lower tiers”
That means it isn’t decent. It’s awful
13:25 lol the speach bubble
Confessional, I've always been fond of Qwilfish. Perhaps because it's one of those Pokémon that never really seemed to be given any kind of love by the larger reaches of the franchise. Seeing it in New Pokémon Snap in such a spotlight focus I feel in retrospect was a way for them to subtly remind fans it existed before Legends came out and introduced its evolution.
I've also been find of qwilfish, I was so excited to get a new form
I always hated it. It ruined my Christmas when I ran into a full odds shiny qwilfish
When I saw Qwilfish for the first time, I caught one and named it Hootie. And wondered where the rest of his band went so I could catch them. XD
You deserve all the thumbs ups.
BLOWFIIIIIISH
Excuse me while I rename either my Manaphy or Phione "Hootie."
Never thought a 20 minute video on Qwilfish was possible
Neither did I, but this was mostly about Fugu so I’m thankful for that. Qwilfish is the worst Pokémon ever.
@@cindyskullz bruh💀 no need to get personal, qwilfish is the fugu ITSELF so why'd you guys be surprised? Thats literally the whole point of the vid.
14:30 Lockstin: No Way Home
This video helped me get over my irrational fear of pufferfish by making it rational. Thanks Lockstin!
Poison dish with YOLO FISH!!!
Once the new qwilfish and overqwil make it to competitive they are going to be an absolute menace. Honestly can't wait.
While I personally don't think Overqwill is going to make any real waves in competitive, it scares me that H-Qwilfish is a Dark-type Eviolite user
@@druidt8949 The eviolite thing is great, but I also think overqwil is going to have a place on a lot of rain teams. Having such an unusual typing on a swift swim user is going to add a lot of options, especially with base 115 attack.
Assuming they get...what were they missing? Physical Dark moves, I think.
It'll probably be fine.
@@michaelvisosky743 yeah the move selection is kinda strange in legends.
@@brotbrotsen1100 yeah they brought back moves like ominous wind (that was removed before right) onto basculegion so I'm very curios how transferring into home and out of home will be like.
Overqwil is honestly one of my favorite new mons in Legends. It looks so absurd and over-the-top that I actually really like it. Plus it's Shiny is great.
It was my first shiny
I wished the normal colors would be the shiny tbh
Not only gamefreak considered giving qwilfish the evolution shibirefugu, but they also were considering giving it a pre evolution named buku, a smaller pufferfish 🐡 Pokémon 😊
17:52 I love how he looks at the first picture and is just like :| no
I honestly forget about Qwilfish's existence most of the time then I see it in game and go "When did they add this?"
I legit thought it was from Gen 4 until Lockstin mentioned that it was from Gen 2.
@@mastermarkus5307 I mean it is a decent annoyance in gen 4. gen 2 I still haven't seen one
The thing about the OG Quillfish was, that, compared to many other Water Pokemon, or even all of Gen 2 Pokémon, it wasn’t ether memorable, or even GOOD to use. It’s just a very rare Pokemon, that’s it……
BUT HISUIAN QUILLFISH AND OVERQUILL!!!!
DAM!!
Minor correction: It’s Qwilfish and Overqwil. W instead of U, and one L instead of two.
it was fine in competitive play.
The the cool thing about regional variants, it lets otherwise unremarkable pokemon that have more or less been forgotten to get a new 'coat of paint' as it were and stand out just that bit more
I always liked my pissed off looking ball of hate.
They should’ve done the opposite and get rid of qwilfish all together. Instead I have to do what no one else will and hunt them to extinction myself.
3:29 now that's a "blow" fish
So glad one of my favorite under appreciated mons got a new form and evo. Qwilfish and stantler really deserved one. Now we just gotta wait for Girafarigs turn lol
Girafarig Evo when
Dunsparce evo when
This aged well
H. Qwilfish and Overqwil are legit my favorite addition in L:A. Qwilfish's new design is so cute and Overqwil is charmingly extra, and its name is probably my favorite pun in the series.
Thank you, that inflation joke made me spit out my breakfast laughing. I agree with the editor 🤣
9:19 I love how in the background, you can see lockstin’s past avatars
Lockstin is amazing. Never would I think I would watch a video this long about the history of fugu and be engaged the whole time, and yet here I am.
What is going to happen in future chapter of Golden Kamuy
Saichi runs to check if Asirpa is alive and well. Saichi then realises it is the same woman that saved his butt from a bear years ago. Asirpa has changed a lot, as she grew from a small adorable Ainu girl into a beautiful large breasted opulent full breasted Ainu woman that has natural floatation devices and starts to crush on him. Then she asks him if he could take off his shirt and if she can touch his abs. Saichi takes of his shirt and Asirpa starts to stroke his abs. Then she says 'Oh my Saichi, those abs have hardened so much and are now so hard that if someone else punched you into stomach, their hand would turn into dust'. Then he says 'Asirpa, my darling, those breasts are large, soft and bouncy and you can use them to mesmerize opponents'. After that, Asirpa gives Saichi smooches and he gets covered in kiss smudges
Saichi 10 years later: 🧥💪💪🧢🐴🌳🥦🥬🍆🥒🍏🔫🥃❄☃️⛄🌨
Asirpa 10 years later: 💋💕💟💌💄🐰🏹🌹🍈🍈🍮🍑🍒🍓🍇🍫🍷🍦🍧🍨❄☃️⛄🌨
Self Destruct hits differently when there is poisonous shrapnel in the explosion.
Not as bad as Skuntank using Explosion though, that’s just straight-up mustard gas.
@@Glory2Snowstar Truth! Now that I think of it Skuntank can use Flamethrower so its explosion would be more fiery too!
Best part about the whole pufferfish obsession is that it doesn't even taste like anything special.
Supermarket grade frozen fish sticks have more flavor in them.
While I can't confirm that in any way, I would be entirely unsurprising since the slices essentially look like unflavoured gelatin.
I have a biomedical science degree. Not gonna lie, haven’t done anything with it since University. Hearing Lockstin say “Voltage Gated Ion Channels” and showing diagrams wasn’t something I was expecting today 😂
Funny, video came out just when I was grinding Qwilfish to evolve it for the "Sea Legend" quest. Made the entire grind a lot more interesting.
0:27 Us Colosseum players talk about it. It's one of the most annoying Shadow Pokemon to catch in the game.
"Three years of training"
Fugu should be the final boss of cooking mama.
Can't wait for the video about Avalugg. All my friends say it's supposed to be an icebreaker, when to me the front CLEARLY looks like the kind of snow plow they have on plow trains in Hokkaido. Even moreso the shiny. You gotta settle this
It's largely based on a proposed ice ship. England was seriously considering making a battleship made of ice during World War 2. It was called project habakkuk.
It's mainly based on icebreakers, especially because base Avalugg is based on aircraft carriers (due to how they carry Bergmite around on them)
9:19 I love how the two other versions of you are in the background wearing hats as well xD
This is honestly really pretty cool to see, I just had to read a whole thing about fugu for one of my courses, this was a neat crossover for me, and a good vid!
I must have insane Quilfish luck. Whenever I went looking for one for the pokedex I found it within like 3 fishing rods drops. I registered it, boxed it and then never thought about it again until I went looking for it for Pokedex purposes and found it in less than 5 minutes.
on blending in to other fishmons the colour of the new Qwilfish helps a lot as it breaks away from the usual palette associated with other fish.
Meanwhile Overqwil is a perfect evolution, it's Qwilfish taken to the logical extreme of absurdity by being a living ball of "nature why?" the splatoon vibe is also welcome as it looks like what an enemy that serves as a floating hazard would be designed as, speaking of hazard it also has a bit of sea mine going on.
in general between basculin/legion and this it feels like gamefreak is trying to make the fish feel more like pokemon and less like filler for water encounters.
All it needs is a physical Dark move for me to adore it
1:38 AYO
9:31 Love the old avatar designs hiding in the background
2:17" fish blowing video" hahahah that's a good one 3:35 oh damn he was serious lmao !
6:50 Haha! Puffer fish eating a carrot!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That meme is so good!
There is no Qwil like Overqwil!
Our man Lockstin was more concerned with the death of Fugu fish than Qwilfish orgins.
In anatomy this last week and the week before, we were just learning about neurons and how their sodium and potassium gates and pumps work.
It's so nice to understand what people are talking about when it comes to science and the bodies of humans and animals.
17:58 Lockstin… why The F***!!!
I found a shiny quilfish 3 hours into playing legends Arceus but is used self destruct🤯
Self destruct doesn’t kill in PLA though-
Hunted for 5 days to get mine
Dude why didn’t you save
Whenever you see a shiny, save your game. The game saves specific instances of Pokemon, so if you reload while in the presence of a shiny, it'll still be shiny when you reload.
@@Robo2k_
It does deal a ton of recoil damage, which could KO it.
Aw, man! There's a qwilfish plushie? I want one, it's so cute. And I heard before someone asked what the poison fish tastes like, someone replied its just a normal fish taste, you're paying for the thrill of the adventure.
I love how every time a plush talks it calss Lockstin Father it gets me every time XD
I love when he throated the plush tail
A friend of mine put it best, I think: "The edge of death is where a person feels the most alive." Living is something we generally take for granted, but when there's an immediate moment wherein it's possibly about to be taken from us, we fully appreciate what a wonderful thing living is, and all we want is to live a little longer.
There is also the fact that humans are incredibly stupid. Heck, you don't even have to look at fugu to see that, just look at the concept of "spicy food" - spiciness isn't a flavor, it's a pain response, a DEFENSE MECHANISM that plants employ to DISCOURAGE things from eating them. So naturally, us "intelligent" humans cultivate spicy things and eat them in abundance and crave them and have a whole genre of food dedicated to them. So the mechanism specifically in place to DISCOURAGE consumption is what actually makes us WANT to eat them. Same with fugu. Kinda backfired there…evolution did not account for human stupidity… XD
Well idk about you but spicy food is delicious
@@dragonteracorps5059 Exactly. It's not even a flavor, it's literally a pain response, it's chemicals tricking the nerves in your mouth into thinking they're LITERALLY on fire, and yet us "intelligent" humans think it's delicious. XD
Give your editor a raise, that was hilarious
“I’ve gone and made myself sad again” same lockstin same

I really like the visual gag/detail of the Quilfish becoming more and more burnt in the 1st Lockstin restaurant scene. Kudos for that! This was a fun video 🤣
I like the older avatars being used as background characters
I'm really glad Qwilfish finally got some love. I enjoy using it and it's new found evolution a lot!
But he didn't get love.... they replaced it
@@notscorchingsands9718 Which means it got love... it could have just stayed old and forgotten. Even a new replacement form draws attention to the pokemon as a whole.
@@taylord2006 Some just get replaced.... rip Muk
Relicanth is not forgettable in my opinion. I can still still remember the time I finally caught it in Pokémon Emerald. Plus, I still need it in Pokémon Go 🎣
10:52 simple stone... RESPECTFUL STONE
"What is wrong with you?"
Me immediately: EVERYTHING
Wasn't qwilfish pretty effective in gen 7? I seem to recall its puffing up being put to good use to intimidate opponents. Though yeah, mostly it's basically a pufferfish. Also, pufferfish poison causes headaches? I bet that's the real reason Hisuian qwilfish is dark type, so it doesn't have to worry about poisoning a psyduck and spelling its own doom.
> Chapter titled "pokemon inflation"
Uhh...
17:33 mountain dew as the word death is said
Reminds me of how people eat shark fin soup. Shark fins have no flavour at all, only adding texture to the soup. Not worth killing so many sharks for.
But I guess it’s like “hey, I’m eating scary sea monster! Take that!”
I can’t really see why anyone would eat it otherwise
Recently I played Pokemon Sword with a All Poison type team, and used Qwilfish and it gave me a new appreciation for it. In Pokemon Sword at least it's actually a decent Physical attacker with early access to Poison Jab. I was surprised at how good it actually was
Honestly, i would love to try out fugu, just out of curiousity on how it tastes
Takes like the fear of death

{It's an endangered species}
tbf the video was more about how Japanese eating habits make Lockstins head hurt than about how Quilfish and Overquil are
The nightmare of going through dozens and dozens of other Pokémon just for a creature that doesn’t evolve, has low average stats, and no abilities to make it stand on its own, is enough to make us forget. Not to mention that Toxapex overtakes.
Making Qwilfish Dark Poison worked, and an evolution? It worked.
But the stats for overqwil can be better.
Toxapex overtakes, crown of thorns gang represent.
Bane bunker forever!
It brings me great joy to know that, even if I'm not into it, there is at least one person out there who loves Qwilfish to death
