CELEBRATE BUG MONTH AT wolfeystore.com/ !!! ONLY ONE WEEK LEFT OF BUG MONTH
BUG MONTH!!
Naganadel has 121 speed
Wolfy stay with me now
Next region is a mono type bug legendary that'll be like the mewtwo of bugs
-signature ability makes both opponents weak to bug moves and make your team basically get multistage if they are bugs
mythical are still legends respect Genesect
Wolfey PLEASE change the thumbnail back to the original. It's objectively better and Caterpie looks SO CUTE!
Shout out to Volcarona for making me think it was a legendary when i found it in BW
They very much treated it like one that Gen the same way gen4 treated rotom
The other reply put it best that it was basically a Gen V Rotom.
I wish I'd found the Volcarona encounter, because I had the gift Larvesta egg and set out to very painstakingly level it up instead. Child me was not very smart or efficient, I fear.
Aside from it just looking like a legendary its based on mothra who is a godess, volcarona should have been a legendary for sure.
Lowkey as cool as it would be if Volc was a legendary, it’s VGC career may not be as good sine it would only be allowed in restricted formats.
@wonderfulrose477 theres a difference between legendary and restricted yknow
it could be considered the same tier as ogerpon and urshifu, but not calyrex and kyogre
Fun bug fact for y'all: Besides the three starter typings, bug is the only one with an ability that boosts their types damage in a pinch. That being swarm.
Minor Correction: The *TRADITIONAL* starter typings (aka those from the main line series) of Fire, Water Grass. But if you include every entry there are more than 3 starter typings including: Dark, Psychic, Normal & Electric.
Dark: Umbreon
Physic: Espeon
Normal: Eevee
Electric: Pikachu
Almost as good as venonat is the only purple pokemon
Hence why it’s so bad 😂
@Dusky00000 plz tell me thats just a meme and not a real thing
@AhmedHussain-ju6xd Are you not caught up on BUG MONTH?
"Bugs are bad, Legendaries are good." You've crossed the line this time, Wolfey.
I know but not really they can make a spider legendary its about that time.
@DrownedDreamZAnansi themed?
(Although honestly there's so many good spiders to pull from. XD)
Let the man cook.
Imagine a Pokémon game, where the premise was that this super powerful legendary bug Pokémon hatched from an egg, and the entire game you watched as it evolves until it reaches it’s maximum strength and it almost destroys the world
So, the Cell Saga? Honestly not a bad idea.
@jasonkeith2832that is not like... hollow knight?
sorta like Shin Godzilla.. or Zygarde.. still could be dope
@jasonkeith2832 I was about to say that lol
@jasonkeith2832 Cell would actually make a pretty good pokemon
I love Buzzwole. There were so many ways to make a mosquito pokemon, but they chose the coolest and funniest way to do it. He's not just buff, he flexes it on people too.
Buzzwole is one of my faves, too! I just got the shiny in Pokémon Go and it made my weekend.
And when you look at his partner Pheromosa it's just even better
They are such a good pair god I love the UBs
Only female mosquitoes drink blood, so buzzwole is actually female, and conversely, pheromosa has traits that only male roaches exhibit.
@IGSA101 Their Pokemon vro real physiology doesn't apply to them 😂
@melkormorgothbauglir.4848 No, really? And here I thought pokemon were real animals...
Since you can't understand obvious things like how I was sharing an interesting fact that related to the pokemon design, that was sarcasm.
Two things. Golisopod has a higher BST than Yanmega. Golisopod mega is the frist bug to make it over the 600 BST benchmark
Genesect has 600
@Aarav-b8p8h Over 600* The og Mega Bugs have 600 BST's but none over 600 like Mega Golisopod.
Megas dont count.
@filippohl9097 is a repost, cuz yt deleted my message somehow.
Yea, then there's no true bug over 600 then. The strongest bug being bug type Arceus the only one over 600. Rewatch the vid, wolfey mentioned it anyway.
Besides that, I want a bug type pseudo. That's not a dragon. They did it with metagross and tyranitar. We've got only gen with no dragon (gen 3 got metagross and salamence, that one don't count) we have 8 dragons, pre-patch godzilla and a computer. I need me the pseudo bug. Give me a Bug Steel, base 600, heavy as fuck, gets filter, based off the ironclad beetle, and slow. Like base 30 slow. And then a high defense and attack. I want a tank.
Or they can do the bug dragon idea they completely threw out the window with the dragonfly. It's still gonna have dragon... But a bug dragon that's a dragonfly would be cool. Poor yanmega. He's got mega in the name too.
Edit: I forgot something, bug doesn't hit anything very well, but as a dragonfly, it could get a better version of tinted lens.
24:50 this makes me think that if we got a Bug legendary they could do something like make the pre-evolution the weakest Pokémon up to that point, while making the evolved form(s) very strong.
Dudududunsparce will be bug type you gotta believe
It'd be a pretty tall order to make something weaker than Cosmog.
They could make it similar to Scarlet and Violet, In those games you meet the legendary in the intro, but it can't fight because it's too weak. The legendary bug pokemon could be found as a cocoon you carry around until it evolves in the endgame and becomes usable. And, I know this goes way too far for a pokemon game, but the form it evolves into could be influenced by the actions you as a player take in the game.
@Hyperneosonic97 HP of Shedinja.
Speed, Attack and Special Attack of Shuckle.
Learns only Harden.
Ability is Slow Start, except it cuts your Defense, Special Defense, and Speed.
@j11thejetplane As I said, tall order given that you have to go to such extremes to be as actively useless as possible.
Winds and Waves would be a good place to introduce a legendary bug with the whole tropical theme.
Gamefreak should create hilariously overpowered pure bug and ice type legendaries for the next generation mascots
Bug/Steel with Wonder Guard, Ice/Fairy with No Guard + Sheer Cold
A wonder guard legendary wouldn't work because of how gimmicky it is inherently,love the typings though @nightmarearisen962
Heres hoping the next pseudo legendary we get is a bug / dragon. (personally I'd like to see a fire / fairy one but gamefreak seems to be allergic to making non dragon pseudos outside of metagross)
@Savings_and_Grift_Plan Right?! Like I love my dragons but for the love of Arceus, there are other cool things besides dragons!
I too want a Fire/Fairy Pseudo legendary, or even better a Bug/Steel Pseudo legendary!
@nightmarearisen962 Yes
Hear me out. A bug type legendary with a signature move that has the effect of Tinted lens, so it can hit all those types that resist it.
You know, it's probably BECAUSE Bug is resisted by so many types that it's the one type that has Tinted Lens as an ability to let it use STAB for at least normal damage
@hydrosphagus9672Tinted lens is such an insanely good ability that it's only given to the worst type. Just look at how good Lokix is in singles despite having bad stats and typing
@hydrosphagus9672 bug types need that insane ability to be good. Plus, if you think about it, tinted lens on other types id downright broken. At least bug types have so many resists you might actually have a quad resist you can use.
even better: give it that in addition to tinted lens, so when you face it you have to violate your common sense and send out pokemon neutral to bug instead of resistant
Shoutout to whoever made the thumbnail.
The drawing of the rayquaza mirroring the caterpie elements is really brilliant. A fun story told just via the thumbnail alone!
It got changed unfortunately
@Kokorats im pretty sure theyre using a/b testing for thumbnails
@Kokoratsthis is like the third onev
I agree Caterpie was cooler. The Mewtwo Beedrill pic stinks like dookies
15:15 you aren't breaking 4 rules, because 2 pairs of these rules are mutually exclusive. If you make a strong bug type legendary that doesn't evolve, you're only breaking 2 of these 4 rules. If you make a weak bug legend that does evolve, still only breaking 2 rules. The same goes for a weak bug that doesn't evolve or a strong bug that does evolve. Because these characteristics are mutually exclusive to one another, no matter what permutation you choose, you will only ever break 2 rules.
Yeah. those are just 2 rules broken into 4 for the sake of convincing.
exactly my thought
cant wait for gen 10 when we get a bug type legendary called "fuckyouWolfe"
he puts time and effort in making videos unlike you're channel
@rabindramaharjan1294 bro it's a joke about them making one just to spite this video
@rabindramaharjan1294 bro chill take a deep breath smell the roses. Life's good
And it gets Arena Trap + Perish Song.
@rabindramaharjan1294 tf are you talking about? This has nothing to do with the comment.
The way I had to physically restrain myself from shouting "BUG MONTH" after he just said it in passing proves the psychological conditioning is working
Did I hear a BUG MONTH?
BUG MONTH
BUG MONTH!!!!
Definitely has the same energy as Rock and Stone
I was hanging out with my wife and just said “Bug Month” with bo context the other day, she does not care about pokemon at all and it was kind of weird to explain why i just yelled “Bug Month”
17:33 Incase anyone was wondering what the hell he’s referencing here, I’m 99% sure this is a reference to that one alpharad stream where Jacob refused to end stream till he could name every pokemon. His chat was on emote only and he was struggling to remember the name of this pokemon, so some guy started spamming emotes that sounded out “neigh hi-jo goal” (I think it was an X for no, “hi-jo” and something else?) to get nihilego
Insane pull btw
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT FROM SOMEWHERE
YESSSS it was Nay (like voting yea-nay), hi jo, then an emote that said goal lmao
Wolfey has one of the top comments on his vid "Video ends when I name ALL 1,025 Pokémon from memory"
He said : "This is one of the most impressive gaming feats I've ever seen"
You’re such a goat for clocking this
Bug legendaries would have so much potential for not only lore/theming but also for looks.
Many bugs contribute to decomposition so you could make a legendary of death and rebirth. Or take inspiration from locust swarms and make a legendary that represents inevitably and decay since locust swarms come every few years to raze the surrounding nature.
And in terms of looks, there are hundreds of bugs to take inspiration from. Spiders, centipedes, beetles, locusts, cicadas, stick bugs, fireflies, etc. Their shell designs and unique aspects can be made into designs that could stand up to the cool factor of pokemon like Kyogre
I think Gen 10 needs a bug legendary Pokemon with Fake Out, Parting Shot, Knock Off, and Intimidate for good measure. Actually, just make it Fire/Dark.
And it needs to directly compete with Digimon's Beelstarmon. It needs a signature move since Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Knock Off are only three support moves, signature move not too similar to Fly Bullet, Beelstarmon's signature move. This way, it's a swiss army knife of combat making the most out of both tera and mega evolution. Mega Evolution will give it a stronger version of Intimidate, while Tera BUG gives the signature move a STAB bonus.
Wait, nevermind, change it back to Bug.
@pelleas9091is this a reference to tera bug Incineroar
@christopherearth9714 And Beelstarmon is a VERY POPULAR digimon in Time Stranger playthroughs to use, this hypothetical bug legendary could incorporate the design traits, personality, and shapes of both characters to show that it does actually pretty well in both double and normal battles due to the setup, best used as a sweeper.
Incinirex (Dragonfly Rider)
It's Incineroar mounted on a Yanmega. Its typing is Bug/Dark and its ability is as one, but in this case that means it has Intimidate, Regenerator and Levitate to replace the flying typing of Yanmega. In addition to STAB Knock Off, it gets STAB U-Turn.
Retroactively a little sad that sun and moon weren’t about an Egyptian style scarab and a luna moth. Those are the two most legendary feeling real bugs to me.
Or Luna moth and monarch butterfly :)
Are we talking about Elden Ring Nightreign bosses?
@CoinedItTRUE
@CoinedItgnoster underrated and I don't care what anyone says
The Egyptian scarab concept became Rabsca instead.
Dude the sad 'BUG MONTH' during the ad read had me DYING
BUG MONTH
"Steel types are bulky"
Rock: am I a joke to you
23:38 I honestly thought he was going to say "Tera Bug Incineroar" for a second, since he already mentioned Tera Bug Iron Hands earlier
Volcarona sitting in the corner drinking its sorrows away like: "Its should of been me!"
Really should've been.
19:30 i like the symbolism that in the future bug is replacced by poison, which especially in modern pokemon represents pollution
Even in gen 1 we had grimer / muk as well as koffing / weezing as pollution symbolism
I think that's also the core of why they evolve so much like bugs. Pollution is a change over time. Plus bug/poison is a very common combination
@Witch_Aileen bug poison being common is just how it is in real life, tho. There's a lots of poisonous bug.
@dieptrieu6564 yea there is 😊 that's a separate point of my overall thoughts on poison types that aren't bug/poison, but why I mentioned the dual type being common also contributes
Poison was kinda always a companion type to bug. Many early poison types evolved very easily being stone evolutions, friendship evos or were tied to evolution lines that are notorious for evolving earlier than comparable evolution lines, like bulbasaur evolving earlier than the other starter.
Outside of venamoth it really isn’t until the DSI era where poisons become slow to reach maturity.
1:56 the idea of Wolfe telling us about his OC legendary bug types favorite anime, food and hobbies cracked me up for some reason lol it’s like he’s making a dating profile for it haha
Snom’s cuteness is already legendary
Snom can ohko calyrex Shadow
Careful lad, don't want to be calling the Snom Boss down on you for besmirching his reputation
IT’S BUG MONTH!!!!
BUG MONTH!
BUG MONTH!
BUG MONTH!
BUG MONTH! 📣
BUG MONTH!!
13:54 d-does he think kubfu is a beaver?
It's engagement bait and both you and I are actively proving that it worked
I literally cringed physically when he said beaver.
Bro took denis life then his name , what an animal
19:42 irl bugs used to be bigger but due to changes in the atmosphere large bugs can’t survive anymore
That's speculation. We don't actually know why there aren't big bugs anymore. The atmosphere is only the most likely candidate.
@marvalice3455it’s not necessarily speculation, that term is not a great descriptor of the current body of evidence that strongly suggest the reason is the atmospheric O2 levels
@LNguyenBiowhich will change in 5 years when new evidence slightly points to something else. Its almost like science is shit and constantly changing and our knowledge of things is constantly changing. But keep worshipping science except for scientific things you dont like
@hydenstein Brother don't act as if science isn't based on an accumulation of knowledge that is also dependent on the biases of human beings. Science made that keyboard you're malding on 🤨 Just because new information is revealed doesn't suddenly change the way things work.
Also theoretical science is a wholeass other discipline than practical knowledge.
@LNguyenBio the body of evidence in question:
bugs used to be thousands of times bigger.
there used to be more oxygen in the air.
a small number of bugs can get slightly larger if you crank the o2 up to outrageous levels.
well I guess that is case closed! never mind that there are actually many other factors at play that keep modern bugs small, and that the largest modern bugs live in the ocean where the there is hundreds of thousands of times less o2 available. never mind all that! we have three facts here that make it "not just speculation"! these three facts form a massive body of evidence if we just repeat them thousands of times!
i wrote about the fact that he didnt say Arceus bug but he is always one step ahead
One thing I want to note about Pheromosa and Buzzwole is that they are distinctly in a game featuring a story important bug type specialist who is supposed to be tough and intimidating. Huge Guzma fan btw. Not sure exactly how that fits into everything but I'm sure it does somehow. Plumeria as a poison type specialist is also something to note with Nihilego being poison type.
The reason why there is no legendary bug type is because it would be perfect… too perfect…
I remember making a Bug legendary trio for a fakemon region when I was at high school, each of them representing the food chain. You had a beefy Bug/Grass or Bug/Normal (can’t remember) stag beetle representing the herbivores, a hyper-aggressive Bug/Dragon tiger beetle representing predators, and a stalling Bug/Ghost dung beetle carrying a spore ball representing scavengers and decomposers. They also had an “eater” type ability for each of their secondary types, so the Dragon and Ghost ones could’ve been pretty strong
That's really creative!
i have always thought they should have an Egyptian like scarab legendary bug. it is literally the symbol of the Egyptian sun god of rebirth
That’s just rabasca, unfortunately revival blessing isn’t a cool signature move
Speaking of ground/bug type legendaries, I always thought Zygarde should have been bug-type instead of dragon-type.
The ground type is pretty fitting. Zygarde represents the Earth and specifically ecosystems. iirc each individual cell is spread out across the globe and has its own eyes to keep watch over its portion of the world - but at the end of the day, those cells are part of a greater whole. It’s a metaphor for how we are really just living pieces of the planet; the atoms that make up our bodies come from the planet’s materials (something that becomes more obvious when we die and decompose into dirt).
Zygarde is a bit simplified, being only 100 uniform cells. In the real world, instead of 100 eyes, the Earth sees through trillions of eyes, many of which are bugs. Bugs are weak only when viewed as individuals, but their combined biomass is greater than all vertebrates.
A legendary that starts off as a collection of low BST individuals that gets more powerful as it slowly manifests its nature as a collective would fit the hive theme of the bug type perfectly, but no, they had to slap a generic dragon type on it.
@cylle3784funny enough that may make it stronger as it would lose the 4x weakness
@Randomgamer-zo3cc I'd argue it is a cool signature move, the problem is that it's not a signature move. Pawmot also gets it so in the niche cases where revival blessing gets used in competitive rabsca gets outclassed by his Pikachu clone brother
@Ringoismybirdo bug/ground is one of the better type combinations for bug. Better than volcarona’s typing.
I think they should have used the Zygaurd gimmick for a big type legendary. Would have been amazing for these small low stat critters you find around a region to combine into a super cool example of evolution.
Zygarde is a pretty big type tbf
@iMind-Juristhe biggest
Like a bug type Wishiwashi but good?
@sliceofham3737yes exactly, like an ability based on the bees that cook wasps by swarming and jittering super fast. If the small form faints, it transforms into swarm mode, with guaranteed burn on contact.
17:31 nay-hi-jo-goal is an insane reference
It took two minutes and ten seconds for Incineroar to be mentioned in a video about Legendary and Bug Type Pokémon
17:00 and despite being so powerful, they're also incredibly common where they live
My headcanon is that it's similar to how Kryptonians can't fly on Krypton, but they can on earth due to the yellow sun as opposed to a red one
Ultra Beasts are probably not that strong in whatever dimension they're from
@SandofShark As such they are alien to us. And the strongest dragon types in whatever dimension they are from are actually the weakest.
Not that I wanna kill the headcanon, but they're the same whether we fight them on our turf or theirs from what I remember. Aside from certain battles having auras
@Gaia_BentosZX5 I know Guzzlord (Dark/Dragon) isn't all that good, but it is definitely not weak
A west African reigon with a legendary based on Ananse would go crazy though
100% agree
YES OMG
Eh
Still waiting for them to pull trig on finally making an African based region (this will be in Gen 36 cause we always last babbyyyy)
There is an incredible fan made Pokémon region made by a guy named Mykel Ryan. Highly recommended
I can't believe I could actually describe this video as "per capita for Pokémon"
18:28 small sidenote: In the anime, they got a Pecharunt episode, and they made it canonical that regular Pokémon get chained, so Okidogi and co. as we currently know them should actually be alternate forms of the "non-chained" Okidogi and co.
My guesses would be an Ursaring, Unpheasant, and possibly an Oranguru
@GutsTheGrafted ahh yes, the Bear turning into a Dog
@GutsTheGrafted in the anime, it was just Captain Pikachu, Roy's Lucario and his Kilowattrel, but with a chain. Not really that big a change. I'd say it should just be a "it's Okidogi but without the chain and the Poison-type."
@bishuthepanda Sorry you think animals changing into other animals is a weird thing in the Pokemon universe? Are you like, stupid or somethin?
Volcarona I feel has a fascinating parallel with arcanine: 2 stage fire type designed in a way that evokes being legendary
13:55 ok so that is NOT a beaver 😭
Hold up, I'ma ask the Beaver expert
Edit: The Beaver expert has spoken, it is a Disco Beaver
This comment got me crying with laughter at work
Wolfe actively farming engagement
Had to doublecheck for a moment. CUB-fu isn't a beaver, who knew?
@d370ur glad to hear it ❤
3:51 the arcane sound effect gave me a heart attack for a sec there lmao
honestly a space alien bug physic type would be a badass legendary pokemon
Gigantamax Orbeetle is basically a UFO with a body
Basically if Deoxys was Bug/Psychic instead of pure Psychic
So... Gigantamax Orbeetle?
13:52 Type: Null's evolution is arguably not even a true evolution, it just breaks free of its limiter helmet. In the lore it is stated that this form was the way it was created, being referred to as Type: Full at the time. The helmet was put on it when the Aether Foundation couldn't control it. Silvally is the name Gladion gives it when it is able to break free.
Lore wise it seems likely that it would be the one pokemon that could de-evolve (not counting Mega Evolutions reverting to normal) if a new limiter helmet was placed on it.
Slowbro can also de-evolve if the Shelder on its tail is removed.
looking at type: null and silvally's stats as well support this, as the only difference between them is that type: null is slower
@saxosipho You're right, I totally forgot about that.
Exeggutor can devolve too if one of their heads fall of.
the limiter helmet always bothered me
A scarab seems like it could be a cool legendary for an Egypt region
2:55 no way bro got sponsored by freaking ebay😭
A legendary Bug type that looks like Colgera from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would be epic
But isn’t ice and bug one of the worst type combos ever? 😂
@Ttoillrigg Well it's about time Game Freak improved the type chart
It's winter Wolfey, there are no cool bugs to catch. Even the Rainbow Scarabs who live in our compost are not out and about yet.
skill issue, move to the southern hemisphere and get those summer bugs
Naw, I had the same thought but didn’t care. Spring or summer is the bug season.
It’s fine though. Wolfy often does silly things and he should make the videos he wants.
@jeremymullens7167 I don't quite get what you are saying? For half the globe it is currently bug season, with it being summer there, might not be Wolfey's actual reason for having bug month now but it is true all the same
10:44 Fun Fact: Pawmi is the FIRST "Pika Clone" to evolve since Pichu!
And what a waste imo
@iancastro1327 I like Pawmont but Pawmo shouldn't exist! Even if it does kinda looks like Locktin Logginn a bit!
So, as far as the poison evolution conversation goes. One thing I realized only yesterday was that the evolutionary history of venom is actually quite interesting.
It evolved in aquatic organisms much earlier than terrestrial. On land, venom evolved amongst the ancestors of modern snakes and monitored lizards during the Jurassic. In terms of the history of terrestrial life, that is not that long ago.
It was also during a period in which these venomous organisms were living among some of the largest terrestrial organisms that ever existed, so the relative threat presented by such venom was lower than it is today. In other words, in the evolutionary arms, race venom was relatively weak in the meta amongst terrestrial organisms until the KT Extinction event shook up the meta by removing large organisms across taxa throughout the world. Now in a new meta where the maximum size was much lower, the effectiveness of venom skyrocketed. What used to be a useful tool for weakening small prey was now capable of taking down the largest predators in any given region. I imagine that this opened up new niches.
So, really, if they wanted to make a cool biological reference with the evolution of poison types they would make it substantially more common amongst water types not and would have a larger number of pokémon that evolve to become poison but are not poison in their base form.
Poison types evolve a lot because there’s a lot of dual type bug/poison and grass/poison, two other types that evolve a lot
that doesn't really explain why it still continues to be true for almost all of the non bug and grass poison types though, there's only serviper I can find that isn't a legendary, mythocal, paradox, or ultra beast, and even then the only ultra beast to evolve is poison type, it seems to be a part of ppison just as much as grass or bug
there are also from what I could find 4 grass types that don't evolve and are "regular"
@winter945 I can only think of three - Carnivine, Tropius, and Maractus. Is the fourth Mow Rotom? I guess there's no real reason why it wouldn't count, aside from it not being grass by default.
@shockthetoast I accidentally included a legend when counting, so three, four with mow rotom who is a weird one
@winter945 it is, indeed, a weird one. I looked through a list of grass type pokemon since I couldn't think of a fourth, if it wasn't for the list I probably would never have thought of it.
@winter945 3 non-evolving regular grass types might be unique now but back in my day they kinda weren't because they were somewhat more common (in comparison to the total Pokemon back then): A gen 1 regular Tangela, Roselia, and Tropius (3 out of like 300 something pokemon wasn't that spectacular yet) Funny thing is two of them got evolutions in Gen 4.
3:25 The Bapple (Bug + apple)
"Not a pokemon from another dimension. But from another time. Slither wing"...should we tell him?
I like how your thumbnail of a legendary bug is basically TigerVespamon
WHERE IS OUR DRAGON BUG!!!
Yanmega and Flygon are crying in a corner.
I think paradox volcarona could’ve been dragon, bug instead of fighting, bug
A scarab beetle-based dragon type would be great.
@Lauren_Cbut instead it was wasted on rabsca
Applin...in a sense, even though it's not technically Bug Type.
2:10 until wolfy mentions incineroar lol
I wish next week on the Pokémon Presents they announce Gen 10 and one of it's box legendaries turns out to be bug type just to mess with you
I Forgot genesect a mythical Pokemon lmfaooo
15:49 I had been thinking about it even though I normally don’t, but didn’t know if he’d bring it up due to it being an alternate form
2:11 jumpscare warning
bug month is almost over :(
BUG MONTH
BUG MONTH!
BUG MONTH 🐛🪳🐜🦟
First legendary and mythical combination this gen
If we are really going through Wolfe's logic of creating a bug legendary pokemon, a pokemon that breaks the 3-stage evolution by evolving another time to a 4-stage evolution would be so cool. 23:17
Someone cooked here
Isnt that just a mega?
@McFlyIncognito a non-mega with a mega stat with other items held, or a 3rd stage evolution that is capable of using eviolite. Probably that can make a great distinction.
Volcarona is just so sick. I remember finding him in Pokémon White, and it felt really incredible just seeing this level 70, majestic monster show up. I'm pretty sure it outleveled my whole team. It just feels like a legendary, even with finding the larvesta egg, the ONLY OTHER WAY to get Volcarona in BW.
Also most people won't know Larvesta evolved into Volcarona, it literally evolved at 59 in a game where grinding is really tedious!! Ain't nobody got no time for that!
They should make a legendary which is a bug/dark type shadow spider. Where there is a quest from the professor or a researcher to investigate disappearing wild Pokémon of specifically dark and bug types, which, upon looking into, you find the giant shadow spider cocooning and taking away wild Pokémon. Then, you have to enter wild battles against bug or dark types, and sometimes (1/2 or 1/3 or 1/4 or whatever) the shadow of the spider can be seen. You have to then play three turns, where on turn one, you can do anything, and then the shadow will cover your own Pokémon. Turn 2, you have to use a contact move, which will cause the shadow to move over the enemy pokemon and then, turn three, at the start of the wild Pokémon's turn, it is cocooned and taken away. And, during this battle, you have to throw a tracker or something like you would a Poké Ball to find the nest of the spider, which you then go to and fight the spider like a mega Necrozma boss fight thing.
Edit: Building off Wolfey's idea, perhaps you kill the giant shadow spider and then find the egg it was guarding, which hatches into a three-stage legendary bug that eventually becomes the giant spider again.
Omg I love this idea
New box art legendaries on their way to be both bug types just to spite Wolfey
Atleast we have a mythical, Genisect 🙂✨
Love me some good 'ol genesect
Wait, Its not a legendary???
I want *Mega Yanmega* as a *Dragon Bug* type!
mega? they flopped by not giving it to the base version
Agreed!
17:32 "nay-hijo-goal" is the funniest reference I've ever seen in a video, I love youtubers
It’s a reference to that Alpharad stream, right? Still relatively new returning to the Pokétuber scene
I was like no shot when I heard it
@matchamitminzeYeah, in the video where they name all the Pokemon
Put the captions on
Wolfey: there’s no bug type legendaries
The humble Sylvally bug:
bug merch just arrived yesterday, LCS weekly loved it lol
pokemon black was the first game i ever preordered when i was 11 (i used quarters!)
when i got the larvesta egg in the post game, i fell in love instantly! bug types were my favorite and it was so cute!
i didnt have internet at that time, so when it didnt evolve at like level 25 i thought that was it! but i loved my larvesta so much, i didnt care if he was weak :]
. . . i will never forget the feeling of seeing the evolution screen after he hit level 59. ive never felt that much excitement and happiness with a video game since. in my head, my love was what made volcarona achieve his true form!
volcarona is still my favorite mon to this day! 🐛🐛🐛
this is actually so adorable!!!
Aw that's so cute haha
Snom was the one that made me appreciate Bug-type more
How old are you bro
@madeinheaven186024 😅
@madeinheaven1860 bro you can do the math they were 11 before it came out… hey wait they’re around my age
It might actually be kinda cool to have like... A nebby situation where you're a lil bug catcher guy who catches a cool looking bug type that no one has seen before and you wanna be the one to figure out what it becomes so you set out on the standard pokemon journey with it.
I suppose for that it's evolution miiiight have to be like... Story based? Kinda like Kubfu. But like... Then we can have a mothra inspired legendary that you found or something and that sounds cool as fricc to me.
They have one of those called Missingno.

@20:03 that’s me who my theme music. Thank you for representing the Dennis.
Can you imagine Bugcatcher Dillon walking around with a legendary in a net going "I CAUGHT SOMETHING"
I love all of wolfeys nicknames for legendaries. Gordon and now denis lmao

“No there’s not. No there’s not. Surely not…”
Only way they can make a good bug type legendary is if its ability and signature move makes good use of the type or buffs it in some way
Bug is honestly a useful type. It hits Dark, a type that’s immune to prankster and can cause some annoyance and Grass, allowing to help deal with Rillaboom and Amoongus. Due to hit hitting psychic, it’s usually your best option to hit psychic normal types like Indeedee and Farigiraf, as they are immune to ghost, and tend to prep around dark way more than bug type. Not even mentioning how crazy good the steel bug type is, with one weakness. The main thing holding bug back is that they just haven’t made many good ones.
Just combine tinted lens with another ability and call it a day. They’ve been going crazy with some of these abilities lately like unseen fist and minds eye. Don’t even get me started on pre nerf intrepid sword. They could’ve easily just wrapped tinted lens into another ability like they did with as one
14:27 The uma musume bad mood icon made my whole brain light up
Honestly, this was a delightful video. It was really well thought out as a game design discussion, and shows that while Game Freak has done a lot of things wrong, they really do put a lot of thought and effort into their world building and game design.
By the way, if we ever get a bug type legendary, I also think Psuedo-legends/Powerhouse Pokémon like Tyranitar would also make a good template. Rare, weak to start, spends a long time in a cocoon, and emerging at a pretty late level as a banger of a Pokémon. The Larvitar line in another timeline could have been bug type.
Flygon is the fan approved bug type pseudo legendary pokemon that you’re looking for.
Except that it’s not a bug type and it’s not a pseudo. But to the fans it is
How about an Bug Ice type that is a Scyther evolution branch with icicles for hands.
Shivvor!
like Shivering ...or shiv like with a pointy object
Great name, you "shiv" someone, no e, but awesome name
@2asder Good catch, the edit has been made
Inb4 gen 10 gets announced on Pokémon day and the box legendaries are both (part) bug types 😂
3:51 Oh the misery 😢
😂
14:28 Frosmoth invested all their stats into appearance. Look at that gorgeous fluffy moth!
Because of the type chart being fixed for so long ago, there are certain mons that will never be viable. The last time it changed was when they stopped Steel from resisting Ghost and Dark. I wish Gamefreak would be more experimental, and have minor modifications from time to time in the type chart. Like, I don't know, make bug strong against fairy, make ice resist flying, make poison super effective against water... for a gen or two. That would shake the competititve game from here to there, it would change the spotlight from some mons to another ones.
Poison strong against water is kinda a need. Imaging make ice resist dragon.
Me too. They should use new gens to experiment that way. I have so many thoughts on how the chart should be changed from a lore/logic perspective specifically
Making Fairy weak to Bug instead of resist would go a long ay to fixing things.
@PhailRaptoryou mean making it even more like the psychic type...
I would love a bug pseudo-legendary pokemon
Genesect isn't a bug type?
Oh
Is it cuz he's mythical??
16:05 Must've been the wind.
Incineroar is so inescapable that he even invaded another game
@FiveDollarSurgeryInvasive species. Dominates even the bug-themed videos. 😂
21:09
OMG they even have the same palette I just realized that
3:50 Fairy being below ice is incredible!
Zacian alone isn't able to drown Kyurem domination
Golisopod was pretty scary in the anime, my favorite bug type.
SILVALLY MENTIONED, LET'S GO THAT'S MY BOY! OFFICIAL BUG LEGENDARY REPRESENTATIVE!
Oh yeah, all this talk about bug legendaries makes sense, but I'll tell you what I really want- a bug pseudo-legendary! Even if dragons are my favourites, I think that the role of pseudolegendary is one that suffers from overcrowding with dragons; it's hard for Kommo-o and Baxcalibur to shine when there are other extremely powerful dragons competing for their niche in the game. A bug who rulebreaks specifically by having extremely high stats all around would be very memorable, and more than that would likely occupy a very unique niche in teambuilding, which would make the game more interesting by adding more variety.
I got a WhatNot ad in the middle of the bug month chant and I swore the voice in the ad said Bug Month.
Wurmple is already legendary enough
true!
