Going back to the fact for Altaria, you said, probably by accident, that Swalot evolves into Altaria. Which is in fact not true as Swablu is the one to evolve into Altaria
Fomantis and Lurantis are not bug type ON PURPOSE. They took the idea of bugs commonly mimicking plants in the real world and flipped it so it would be a plant Pokémon mimicking a bug. This is why they’re called Fomantis (faux-mantis) and Lurantis (lure-mantis)
It gets a bit deeper than that! While it's obviously modeled after orchid mantises, there are _orchid flowers that mimic bugs!_ such as the Golden Beard Orchid
Similar to Sudowoodo. Looks like a grass type, but is a rock type. I honestly don't know why it wasn't used as a gimmick before scarlet and violet to throw trainers off.
@@andres.5204 it's not a bug type because it's not a bug, it just looks like one. Just like sudowoodo isn't a grass type because it's not a tree, it just looks like one. Do you also complain about sudowoodo in the same way?
Also the fact that Galarian Zigzagoon is considered the original, despite being a regional variant that debuted nearly 20 years later than it's Hoennian counterpart
52:40 These aren't just "some flowers" they're called flores de cempasúchil (I think they're called Mary golds in English?) and they have a significant role in the celebration of Día de Muertos, as they are used as the path for the souls of your diseased relative (this comment is not me trying to be rude, but as a Mexican that lives in Mexico I felt the need to explain this :D)
What about Pokémon 1025 it’s the most forgot about Pokémon in the universe literally that’s the only fun fact I can think of the reason it isn’t even in the video. It was the same time. As Pokémon 1024
One thing to remember is Pokémon are measured the same way animals are! That is, their primary measurement is typically whichever dimension is most relevant to their overall size. A common irl example is how wild cats are measured: most big cats are around 3’ or so at the shoulder, so it’s more useful to measure individuals from nose to tail. That’s how you get the statistic that lions can measure up to 10ft(long) Dunsparce isn’t 4’11” TALL, it’s 4’11” LONG. That’s also how you get a 6’ furret that stands around 3 or 4 feet tall on its hind legs.
The sizes are still wonky though. Golbat is not as tall as Charizard. And Charizard is definitely taller than whatever height is listed. And it can’t be its wingspan…in nature, vertebrates need wings roughly the length of their body to be able to fly, give or take. Like not an exact measurement, but that would be roughly the same as its height.
9:35 thats actually a reference! Its ghastly's cry, the only ghost type, and a reference to how cataclysmically FUCKED you are for being at low health against an Alakazam
1:03:19 Buneary is, I believe, the only non-legendary/mythical pokemon who starts at 0 friendshio on capture. From what i gather this is based on the fact rabbits take a very long time to warm up to new owners, but thats mainly theory. Still, neat fact, and its why Frustration is viable for a while until it evolves.
Fun fact: Weedle actually CAN learn two Normal type moves, only in Pokémon Go, where it can learn Return and Frustration. All Pokémon available as shadow Pokémon can know them, actually.
Koraidon and Miraidon's naming scheme is actually explained by a postgame event in the Indigo Disk ***** spoilers for Indigo Disk **** When you meet the past versions of the professors, they originally call the legendaries "Winged King" and "Iron Serpent" respectively. It's implied the reason they renamed them to "Koraidon" and "Miraidon" is because WE THE PLAYER told them those names. But we learned those names from Arven, who learned it from the Professor, who seemingly learned it from us in the future. Meaning the names THEMSELVES are a time travel paradox.
this is called a Bootstrap Paradox, and it's probably my favorite one! it's used as a plot device in many time travelling stories, and it blows my mind every single time
@@metalburger1117The Song of Storms in Ocarina of Time is by far one of my favorite examples. You learn the song as an adult from the windmill keeper, who tells you he first heard it from some brat who used it to create a storm within his windmill seven years ago. Then later (or should I say earlier) you go to the windmill as a child and play the song there in order to solve a puzzle to get to a dungeon. You are the reason he knows the song, and he is the reason you know the song. It has no point of origin, but instead exists as an endless circle, going around and around. Just like the hurricane winds that the song summons, or the spinning blades and cogs of the windmill, or the crank on the music box that the windmill keeper plays, or even the cyclical melody of the song itself. The extra repeated imagery of circles and loops with no point of origin is so cool.
And to add an extra layer onto things, the professor we speak with isn't just from the past--they're also from an alternate timeline! So, the professor in our timeline was influenced by a different version of us, and we influence a different version of them.
33:11 The reason Houndoom had that red tint in its Gold and Silver sprite was because the flame it was breathing was casting a glow on it. In the Crystal sprite, that light source is not there.

- Ivysaur: The offensive part in Ivysaur's name is "sau", which in German is considered a slur. - Blastoise: I think that's just because Blastoise, Kabuto, and Kabutops were given the same categorization name, which was just "Shell" in JP. - Snubbull/Granbull: They seem to be based on the Cu-Sith, which means "dog fairy" and is usually a term for more grotesque-looking fairies like goblins. - Wailord: Though it's been sized down when used in Gen-6 onward, the Isle of Armor has a wild Lv80 Wailord that appears size-accurate on the overworld before you encounter it. - Whiscash: This is because the Pokemon is based on Namazu, a catfish of Japanese folklore said to cause earthquakes. - Infernape: Among Sun Wukong's powers is an immunity to fire, which may have helped him withstand Laozi's furnace (which was intended to boil out his immortality). - Luxray: It's kinda inspired by the legends of lynxes' supernatural eyesight that can even see through solid matter. - Purrloin: Have you noticed how its purple markings are similar to the outfit of Doronjo, the recurring lead antagonist of Yatterman? - Vanillite: Without snow, you mean. It's really just a living icicle wearing snow like a balaclava. - Lampent: Well, no. It represented the sign of Libra, which is mostly prevalent in October birthdates. It's one of the most scales-shaped Pokemon in Unova, you see. - Greninja: No, X/Y released in October 2013. Greninja was revealed for Smash For in April 2014. But yes, Greninja was chosen in the dev period well before X/Y released. - Lurantis: Incorrect! It and Fomantis are a reverse of the orchid mantis - instead of a bug pretending to be a flower, these are orchids pretending to be mantises. - Bounsweet: The mangosteen is also known as "the queen of fruits", hence Tsareena's queenly appearance. - Hakamo-o: Ironically, despite having "mo-o" in their names, the Jangmo-o line has less in common with the supernatural mo'o, compared to Salazzle, Alolan Exeggutor, and Ultra Necrozma. - Drizzile: Did you know that when it uses a ranged attack, it throws what looks like a water balloon? - Orbeetle: ...Ladybugs ARE beetles. - Yamper: So? Neither does Guzzlord. - Obstagoon: Technically, its Japanese name is 6 JP letters long. - Alcremie: 63 (9 creams times 7 sweets). Counting shinies would bring that to 70. - Dracozolt - Arctovish: Four different fossils. - Finizen: It also evolves at Lv38, likely a nod to the year that Superman's first comic debuted. - I'll add one for Pecharunt: It's the only Pokemon whose English name is based on an item from the Pokemon games.
1025: Pecharunt is the first Mythical Pokemon where its name does not remain the same in both English and Japanese, with its original name being Momowarou (though it's called Dokutaro in the coding).
I'm fairly sure that the Raichu dex entry is also reference to the 1903 Coney Island amusement park film wherein an elephant was electrocuted for supposedly being a "bad" elephant.
Enjoying the video quite a bit, even if I'm late to the party! One VERY SMALL potential note on Weedle: It is capable of knowing more than three moves! In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, in addition to its three level up moves, it can apparently learn Electroweb by Move Tutor!
it wouldn't really make sense for Rillaboom to learn Belly Drum anyway, because having a drum means it doesn't have to use itself as a drum, as Belly Drum would imply.
A lot of dex entries in gen one remind me of the old concept for pokemon being basically just a messed up world where pokemon just started to spawn into our world one day Crazy to see how they are slowly managed to course correct from that original concept with only the old dex entries being our single reminder
Ting-Lu had it's HP and Def lowered. It had it's Sp. Atk raised however, and is still the only one of the ruins pokemon which had their stat raised. Ogerpon is not the only one who can't have it's Tera type changed. This distinction is shared with Terapagos.
Fun fact about the Tera type changing actually, Ogrepon is hard-coded to not be able to change the Tera type because the game will literally crash if you attempt a battle without it being the correct Tera type. The game will chug, but will not crash, if you change Terapagos's Tera type. Therefore, Ogrepon being the only Pokemon hard-coded to not be able to change its Tera type is technically correct
I think the Meditite thing might be explained by a fact: A region where a pokemon is first introduced is not necessarily where that pokemon ORIGINATED in-universe. Corpish is one example you give, but Coperajah is first seen in Galar, but its explicitly not from there. Same for Quaquaval and Paldea. Meditite might have been introduced in Hoen, but it could be native to Sinoh/Hisui originally.
@@tritone2276I hope if they do an Indian region they don't cram the whole country into it. It's far too big a country for that. Same with China and Australia and Brazil and other very large nations people want to see in games.
Blastoise wasn't originally part of the Squirtle evolution line, but they dropped the other turtle line very early and put Blastoise into the Squirtle line.
A few were already uploaded as their own video it was just the last couple of generations I had to add plus a few revisions on some facts that were wrong or needed to be explained better
1:49:58 Grookey doesn't evolve at all in the anime. You're probably thinking about the episode where it meets its evolutions. ...Grookey took god knows how many episodes to actually use a named attack though lol
at 7:25 u mention poison being super effective against bug in older generations, but then mistakenly say paras and parasect are quadruple weak to bug, fire and flying. I'm sure you meant to say poison, fire and flying! haha, great video anyways :)
1:56:55 For those that don’t know, Cufant’s name as the Copperderm Pokémon is referring to pachyderms, meaning “thick skin”. These include elephants, rhinos, and hippos. Another fact: The “Cu” in Cufant doesn’t come from “cute” (though it is). It instead from Cu, which is the chemical symbol for copper on the periodic table.
While Mega Altaria shares no typing with its pre-evo, its,ability, Pixilate, means it can still take advatange of the normal moves it learned as a Swablu, who now become fairy type moves.
Zygarde fact is actually false. Terapagos can also increase its max HP when terestallizing as the Stellar form has a base HP of 160 as opposed to its usual 95 in the normal battle form.
Don't quote me. But I believe you could get the Porygon 2's name back with the number, if you go to the Name Rater, delete all the characters, and just press "End" and the nicknames erase and just go back to their original Pokemon names.
Love that you referenced the pokepark series.( Which i wish would return. ao much potential along with mystery dungeon) Here's another fact about Golurk: It can transform into a cannon as seen in Pokepark 2.
20:47 as someone with a name that starts with Q, thank you Jeff. It meant a lot to me growing up that there was a Pokémon who’s name shared with Q as well. Little things like that are important to kids!
So Gastly fact is now technically false there's a new Epilogue story coming on the 11th of January revolving around a new mythical, "Pecharunt" It is Poison/Ghost.
Cradily's is false for the same reason with Ogerpon Cornerstone also being Grass/Rock which was already released, but maybe they didn't count it since it's a form not its base
@@ViPxRampageXx Permutations exist for both of those. Gastly line is Ghost/Poison, while Pecharun is Poison/Ghost. Lileep line is Rock/Grass, while Ogerpon Cornerstone Mask is Grass/Rock.
13:04 PSI is a refrence to the mother series or known in the West as earthbound! Creatures inc worked on pokemon! You can also see that mewtwo resembles gigu from mother 1
INSANE. how did you decide on what facts and how long did it take you to get some of these weird ones lol. I'm watching all the way through just because your dedicated. 😂
bonus fact about pyukumuku: in ultra sun and ultra moon, there's a pyukumuku on big wave beach named pyunch that you can interact with, play peekaboo with, and pet. there are a bunch of pokemon you can play with in the game including a rockruff named rocky, a sandygast named starchy, a magnemite named henry, a corsola named magic hands, sevenjabug from the electric trial challenge, and a miltank fittingly named whitney, but i specifically mention the pyukumuku because i spent half an hour playing with pyunch in my most recent ultra sun playthrough and it's now my third favourite pokemon of all time.
1:05:10 heres another fact for ya; spritomb with wonder guard can actually be hit with one move despite having no weaknesses. Fire punch i believe is what can hit it. And battle frontier ai will actually play around this and adapt to bring pokemon with fire punch.
Pretty sure Kakuna moves its arms in the animations for Stadium. I’m remembering a little “jump and spin” it will do for some attacks and it will move its arms during that. I think this is because Kakuna is more of a nymph and than a bug in a cocoon. I know bee drill is a big bee/wasp, but compare to the life cycle of a dragonfly. I think that Pokémon heights are wonky AF. There is no way that Golduck is the same height as Charizard.
@@SonicLink1622Mew is in the Japanese one! And it's blurted out at the last second with the sound of a toilet flushing. I'm not sure if this is to emphasize anything or not.
27:51 Fun fact, but I have Shadow Quagsire registered in my Pokedex in Pokemon Go, and I can confirm its eyes ARE red, it's just that its eyes are small, making it difficult to notice at a glance!
an interesting fact about Psyduck: Is the ONLY Pokémon to be obtained in every single region (Since you can have the DLC for Sw/Sh and it has Psyduck in it, it counts. It's also in BW2.)
50:33 Another fact about this: The move Earthquake wasn't used in the anime for a number of years after that. Not sure of that is true anymore, but that's what I remembered. Feel free to correct me if you see this comment.
Here are some other facts; Eevee is also the only non-grass type that can evolve with a leaf stone 🍃 Munna's HP stat is its highest stat. sandile shares its base stat total of 292 with munna. Mimikyu and Flutter Mane are the only Ghost/Fairy pokemon Sylveon has the lowest speed stat out of all the Eeveelutions Landorus, Rookidee, and Corvisquire are the only pure flying type pokemon. Ash's Quilava as a cyndaquil took the longest to evolve out of all his pokemon who evolved, at a whopping 507 episodes.

New fun fact it’s the most forgot about Pokémon in the universe because it’s not even in this video and it was added in the same game as Pokémon 1024
Crunching the numbers, you spend an average of 7.7 seconds on each Pokemon.
I'm fairly sure that the Raichu dex entry is also reference to the 1903 Coney Island amusement park film wherein an elephant was electrocuted for supposedly being a "bad" elephant.
Thank you for not saying And number ____. OVER and over again
Enjoying the video quite a bit, even if I'm late to the party! One VERY SMALL potential note on Weedle: It is capable of knowing more than three moves! In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, in addition to its three level up moves, it can apparently learn Electroweb by Move Tutor!
6:57 For Oddish, it seems that Bill's Grandfather came across a shiny at full odds!!
same, but it was in poketwo
This must had taken a lot of work and research. Great vid, thanks!
it wouldn't really make sense for Rillaboom to learn Belly Drum anyway, because having a drum means it doesn't have to use itself as a drum, as Belly Drum would imply.
I assume it was done so it wouldnt dominate the scene. Belly Drum as is already busted as is, so they probably didnt give it to rilaboom for balance
@@sigmatheta9399 U-Turn: Yeah... dominance... 😏
@@sigmatheta9399
The wildly varying stat totals and inherently stronger and weaker types in matchups already mean the games aren't balanced...
A lot of dex entries in gen one remind me of the old concept for pokemon being basically just a messed up world where pokemon just started to spawn into our world one day
Crazy to see how they are slowly managed to course correct from that original concept with only the old dex entries being our single reminder
Why did you mention my mom's weight twice in this video
BURRRRRN
I see you missed the third mama joke.
@@AyoCrunchylemme guess, guzzlord?
@@American_Lobstercould also be miltank
Ting-Lu had it's HP and Def lowered. It had it's Sp. Atk raised however, and is still the only one of the ruins pokemon which had their stat raised.
Ogerpon is not the only one who can't have it's Tera type changed. This distinction is shared with Terapagos.
Fun fact about the Tera type changing actually, Ogrepon is hard-coded to not be able to change the Tera type because the game will literally crash if you attempt a battle without it being the correct Tera type. The game will chug, but will not crash, if you change Terapagos's Tera type. Therefore, Ogrepon being the only Pokemon hard-coded to not be able to change its Tera type is technically correct
the tragedy of games no longer just going along with trying to render invalid data
ogerpon with gen1 style glitch masks...
The your mom joke is so perfectly and tastefully placed 😂 Made me crack up great job on the vid!
It caught me so off guard. I’m laying down and I hear it I was like “Oop” 😲
i definitely was not expecting it thaaaat far into the video, thats amazing
Need the sound clip 😂
@@kennybmusic67 55:44
cracked me up too! it almost made me spit out my hot chocolate LOL
Thanks!
Thank you!
Gengar: I'm the easiest Pokémon to draw
Electrode: am I a joke to you?
Mr. Mime: Thumbs are not fingers.
Electabuzz: Oops, actually they are.
I was worried and relieved for the vaporeon one
I think the Meditite thing might be explained by a fact:
A region where a pokemon is first introduced is not necessarily where that pokemon ORIGINATED in-universe.
Corpish is one example you give, but Coperajah is first seen in Galar, but its explicitly not from there. Same for Quaquaval and Paldea.
Meditite might have been introduced in Hoen, but it could be native to Sinoh/Hisui originally.
Makes me wonder if they'll make a region based on India one day to have Copperajah native to it. Maybe even give it a regional variant.
moral of the story: pokedex entries are not meant to be taken seriously
@@tritone2276I hope if they do an Indian region they don't cram the whole country into it. It's far too big a country for that. Same with China and Australia and Brazil and other very large nations people want to see in games.
@@BJGvideos ahh yes but doing it with America is fine
@@mitcheldec8644 The US alone has three regions--Orre, Unova, and Alola--and there's gobs of room for more so idk what you're talking about
Blastoise wasn't originally part of the Squirtle evolution line, but they dropped the other turtle line very early and put Blastoise into the Squirtle line.
1:33:45 THE CUTE BUTTERFLY IS THE #666th POKEMON?!?!?!
22:14 for the ledyba entrie the explanation is that beta versions of ledyba had stars on its back
What a LEGEND! I can only imagine how long this video took to make. Instant like from me!👍😁
A few were already uploaded as their own video it was just the last couple of generations I had to add plus a few revisions on some facts that were wrong or needed to be explained better
@@PaPaSea Still had to take you a while! I enjoy the quality of you videos (Especially the Nintended Series)
1:37:09 I was not expecting a roast 💀💀
Mega Kick wasn’t even a signature move for Hitmonlee in Gen 1. It was a TM and could be taught to most of the Gen 1 Pokémon.
“Your mother”
Thought we wouldn’t notice huh lol
1:49:58 Grookey doesn't evolve at all in the anime. You're probably thinking about the episode where it meets its evolutions.
...Grookey took god knows how many episodes to actually use a named attack though lol
at 7:25 u mention poison being super effective against bug in older generations, but then mistakenly say paras and parasect are quadruple weak to bug, fire and flying. I'm sure you meant to say poison, fire and flying! haha, great video anyways :)
1:56:55 For those that don’t know, Cufant’s name as the Copperderm Pokémon is referring to pachyderms, meaning “thick skin”. These include elephants, rhinos, and hippos.
Another fact: The “Cu” in Cufant doesn’t come from “cute” (though it is). It instead from Cu, which is the chemical symbol for copper on the periodic table.
Rhinos and hippos are not pachyderms
The reason blastois isnt the big turtle pokemon is bc it was going to be its pwn pokemon and was changed to the final starter
49:49 has me dying when you called Swablu Wallot not sure why
16:06 Mr. Mime fact was wrong according to the sprites..I had to rewind back to make sure I didn’t hear it wrong lol
I believe they're excluding the thumb here; when saying "fingers".
As Mr.Mime does go from 3 fingers and a thumb, to 4 fingers and a thumb.
While Mega Altaria shares no typing with its pre-evo, its,ability, Pixilate, means it can still take advatange of the normal moves it learned as a Swablu, who now become fairy type moves.
There is no way that Gengar is the easiest pokemon to draw when Voltorb exists.
Dog in French is "chien", not "dog but with a French accent" 😂😭
Wait what?! My whole life has been a lie
Zygarde fact is actually false. Terapagos can also increase its max HP when terestallizing as the Stellar form has a base HP of 160 as opposed to its usual 95 in the normal battle form.
Imagine how much better Flygon would be if it had Sheer Force
alomomola is also the first 5th gen pokemon ash sees in the bw anime. (not counting other shows)
We were ROBBED of Let’s Go Psyduck.
I don’t wanna think of a world with Let’s Go Psyduck 😖
If let's go psyduck actually released instead of eevee I would be so mad
47:47 Wailord
true!
Just in time for my sleep 😴 will listen to this for a few days during my sleep.
You are so real for that
Based, even
1:31:35 Bulbasaur is a frog... Which is an amphibian. ☝️🤓
i normally have the attention span of usually a minute but i sat here, and watched from 0:00 to 2:12:04 undistracted. My attention span has GROWN.
Don't quote me. But I believe you could get the Porygon 2's name back with the number, if you go to the Name Rater, delete all the characters, and just press "End" and the nicknames erase and just go back to their original Pokemon names.
16:07, there are four in this sprite.
And the next one has five.
16:32, five accurate fingers.
Ladybugs are beetles. They are in the order Coleoptera.
12:30 Pecharunt is also Poison/Ghost
Love that you referenced the pokepark series.( Which i wish would return. ao much potential along with mystery dungeon) Here's another fact about Golurk: It can transform into a cannon as seen in Pokepark 2.
Golurk can also fly by tucking in its legs into its body along with its' fists.
20:47 as someone with a name that starts with Q, thank you Jeff. It meant a lot to me growing up that there was a Pokémon who’s name shared with Q as well. Little things like that are important to kids!
So Gastly fact is now technically false there's a new Epilogue story coming on the 11th of January revolving around a new mythical, "Pecharunt" It is Poison/Ghost.
Time makes fools of all men
Cradily's is false for the same reason with Ogerpon Cornerstone also being Grass/Rock which was already released, but maybe they didn't count it since it's a form not its base
@@ViPxRampageXx Permutations exist for both of those. Gastly line is Ghost/Poison, while Pecharun is Poison/Ghost. Lileep line is Rock/Grass, while Ogerpon Cornerstone Mask is Grass/Rock.
@@SentaiYamanekoermmmmmmm ACKSHYUALLY
13:04 PSI is a refrence to the mother series or known in the West as earthbound! Creatures inc worked on pokemon! You can also see that mewtwo resembles gigu from mother 1
i’m glad someone noticed
INSANE. how did you decide on what facts and how long did it take you to get some of these weird ones lol. I'm watching all the way through just because your dedicated. 😂
bonus fact about pyukumuku: in ultra sun and ultra moon, there's a pyukumuku on big wave beach named pyunch that you can interact with, play peekaboo with, and pet. there are a bunch of pokemon you can play with in the game including a rockruff named rocky, a sandygast named starchy, a magnemite named henry, a corsola named magic hands, sevenjabug from the electric trial challenge, and a miltank fittingly named whitney, but i specifically mention the pyukumuku because i spent half an hour playing with pyunch in my most recent ultra sun playthrough and it's now my third favourite pokemon of all time.
Actually, Pecharunt is also a Ghost/posion type, not just gaslty and evolutions
Same thing happened with Munkidori and Galarian Slowbro/king. This video was released before the Mochi Mayhem thing tho
Pecharunt is Poison/Ghost, not Ghost/Poison
Also it was only the first cubone that wore its mother's skull.
That first cubone evolved genes to cause all subsequent cubone to grow an outer skull.
1:05:10 heres another fact for ya;
spritomb with wonder guard can actually be hit with one move despite having no weaknesses. Fire punch i believe is what can hit it.
And battle frontier ai will actually play around this and adapt to bring pokemon with fire punch.
Wait how can it be hit by fire punch?
@@Rainfire-forgets-to-animateDue to a programming error, though this is only applicable in Gen 4.
This error is not possible to find normally. Shedninja, the only Pokemon to have wonder guard without hacks, is weak to fire type moves.
Don't think I'm just gonna ignore that fact about mega metagross
Pretty sure Kakuna moves its arms in the animations for Stadium.
I’m remembering a little “jump and spin” it will do for some attacks and it will move its arms during that.
I think this is because Kakuna is more of a nymph and than a bug in a cocoon. I know bee drill is a big bee/wasp, but compare to the life cycle of a dragonfly.
I think that Pokémon heights are wonky AF. There is no way that Golduck is the same height as Charizard.
Actually, they gave Dawn/Lucas hats to ALL 3 Sinnoh starters in Go, not just Piplup.
13:54 fun fact after a recent event is was also discovered that they also used and executor while debugging X/Y
Celebi IS in the gen 3 pokerap... however Zigzagoon is not.
And Mew isn't in the Gen 1 Pokerap. I believe it was added in the Gen 3 one.
@@SonicLink1622Mew is in the Japanese one! And it's blurted out at the last second with the sound of a toilet flushing. I'm not sure if this is to emphasize anything or not.
1:25:06 iirc in pokepark 2 reuniclus was like a scientist, hence why they mention the experiments, galvantula might be just fed up of helping them idk
Gastly: I'm the only Ghost/Poison-type
Pecharunt: Imma end this man's whole career
Pecharunt also ruined the fact for Zarude.
27:51 Fun fact, but I have Shadow Quagsire registered in my Pokedex in Pokemon Go, and I can confirm its eyes ARE red, it's just that its eyes are small, making it difficult to notice at a glance!
1 fact about Pecharunt: M O C H I!
1:47:43 cosmoem weighs 999 kg not 999 lbs I feel like most people know this I just wanted to correct it for the few people that didn’t know
Ghastly and it's evolutions are no longer the only Ghost and Poison type pokemon.
Technically, if you want to get pedantic about it, they still are. Pecharunt is Poison/Ghost, not Ghost/Poison.
18:30 fun fact: this is somewhat contradictory to ammonites, as it’s believed that ammonites died through suffocation by their own shells.
an interesting fact about Psyduck: Is the ONLY Pokémon to be obtained in every single region (Since you can have the DLC for Sw/Sh and it has Psyduck in it, it counts. It's also in BW2.)
50:33 Another fact about this: The move Earthquake wasn't used in the anime for a number of years after that. Not sure of that is true anymore, but that's what I remembered. Feel free to correct me if you see this comment.
Fun fact: The new mythical (I'll just say dokutaro) is actually Poison/Ghost type
Here are some other facts;
Eevee is also the only non-grass type that can evolve with a leaf stone 🍃
Munna's HP stat is its highest stat.
sandile shares its base stat total of 292 with munna.
Mimikyu and Flutter Mane are the only Ghost/Fairy pokemon
Sylveon has the lowest speed stat out of all the Eeveelutions
Landorus, Rookidee, and Corvisquire are the only pure flying type pokemon.
Ash's Quilava as a cyndaquil took the longest to evolve out of all his pokemon who evolved, at a whopping 507 episodes.
Landorus? Do you mean tornadus?
1:05:34 TRANS RIGHTS!
1:51:33 Ladybugs are beetles
35:21 that’s not true, all the legendary dogs are on the Pokémon colosseum cover
I respect the hustle.bro jus got straight in to it💀
