    The remoraid line is also based on a joke by Japanese sailors.
    What happened was fishermen who were trying to catch octopus would put a small fish in a pot and drop it down. Later when they retrieved the pots to find the octopus caught, they would joke that the fish turned into an octopus

    I wonder why everyone is surprised with pikipeck’s evolution line? The closest living relative of the woodpecker are toucans. But the one that doesn’t make sense is fletchling’s line, IT EVOLVES FROM A ROBIN INTO A FALCON!

    • @killdozer7792
      @killdozer7792 3 года назад +261

      The funny thing is, according to the latest scientific studies, falcons (like Talonflame) are more closely related to passerines - songbirds basically (which includes robins like Fletchling) - than they are to other birds of prey like eagles or vultures. Actually, the closest relatives to falcons are currently believed to be parrots.
      That nod probably wasn't intentional, but it's still interesting.

    So, basically the Galarian split evos, Perrserker and Runerigus are based on the Viking Invasions in the UK throughout history. Having researched Runerigus a bit, the location part of the evolution method would imply that the Dusty Bowl is where the stones to carve the runes were taken from. The runes itself are based on the Ingvar runestones, engraved by Vikings used to commemorate the lives of notable people and events, most of which discovered depict a Giant Serpent, most likely Jormungandr. In the case of pokemon, it would probably depict Eternatus. The 49 hp of damage seems to be a reference to Buddhism, where a soul takes 49 days to travel through Purgatory. Perhaps the yamask of those same vikings visited the very runes they left behind and were possessed by them, giving birth to Galarian Yamask. Its complicated, but makes some sense. Now, the real question is, how will they adapt this odd evolution method in the future?

    Edit: Also (unrelated to the list but it still feels important that I get this out there) the Pikipek evolution line makes complete sense if you do some research.

      Luvdisc is a small Discus fish/Kissing Gourami that's themed around romance. Alomomola, however, is a Mola Mola/Doctor Fish based around Motherly love or even a Nurse/Doctor Theme (Given its wide array of healing moves, it's Abilities and even the heart representing Good health or health in general rather than love).
      The Love one gives to a romantic partner is far different than the love a mother has for a child, so the love similarity Luvdisc and Alomomola are often compared with already falls flat. But even then, Luvdisc has nothing relating to the Doctor/Nurse theme Alomomola has.

      The Pokemon Sapphire Pokedex entry implies that Clamperl is something inside the Clam, and not the clam itself, so you could be right.
      Sapphire “CLAMPERL grows while being protected by its rock-hard shell. When its body becomes too large to fit inside the shell, it is sure evidence that this POKéMON is getting close to evolution.”
      So the Clam shell is more like armor that it will eventually outgrow

    I like the idea of Clamperl being an egg. It's a simple case of mistaken identity. coming across something really shiny and cool underwater only to find out it was not what you think it was. Like finding a gelatinous blob on the beach only to find out it's a jellyfish or swimming past some rocks underwater only for one of them to open up and reveal it was a giant clam. An egg being mistaken for a pearl does make a lot of sense especially since a lot of animal eggs can be mistaken for other things.

    Remoraid is based on a Remora. Remoras are known for attaching themselves to larger sea creatures, just like how remoraid can be seen attached to a Mantine. How do they attach themselves? I'll give a clue: Remoras are also known as suckerfish, because of their use of a suction cup. What sea creature is most associated with suction cups? Octopus. There's no coincident that Remoraid, a remora, evolves into Octillery, an octopus. It doesn't make sense in real world taxonomy, but there's clearly a thematic connection beyond "military weapons" and "lives in water".

    I was wondering what the best moves on Smeargle would be.
    Maybe that's an idea for a video.
    With Sketch, Smeargle could learn nearly every move.
    You could give it the most powerfull moves available, but would that really be an optimal strategy.
    It is still a normal type, so maybe stab moves instead.
    You could also give it a moveset to counter it's weaknesses.
    Or as a support Pokémon, there are plenty of moves it could learn that help an already strong attacker.
    Maybe just give it Transform, the easy way out.
    There are so many options with a Smeargle, too bad it's not in Sword/Shield.

    • @commentingcommenter1230
      @commentingcommenter1230 3 года назад

      Smeargle has been pretty good in VGC (especially in gen 6 and below) because of its support. It used to be able to use Dark Void, and double sleep is overpowered.

    • @_Yuputka_
      @_Yuputka_ 3 года назад +1

      I can safely say the best strategy is support. It has a decent speed stat while literally every other stat can only be considered bad, so much that even if it could use explosion repeatedly it still wouldn't be particularly good. The only way it could deal damage would be through mixing atk stats with the opponent and separately boosting your own, which considering your defensive stats is off the table as well.
      As for transform, ditto and mew do it better. Mew can block, imprison and transform with the bulk to pull it off and higher hp and speed. While ditto has imposter.
      Spore + hazards is usually the way to go with smeargle since it's something it can do reliably for a team and putting stuff to sleep at 100% accuracy is very useful regardless. Especially when you're throwing webs and rocks on their side. As for vgc or doubles, the nerf on dark void and making it only work for darkrai certainly hurts smeargle as a whole.

    • @Compucles
      @Compucles 3 года назад

      I always like the idea of Dark Void, Lock-on, Sheer Cold, and Metal Burst while holding a Focus Sash.

    • @Compucles
      @Compucles 3 года назад

      @Gabriel Mota Oh yeah, so Spore over Dark Void now.
      Sheer Cold is plenty good with 100% accuracy (which yes is how Lock-on works), especially if you put the opponent to sleep first, as you only need to worry about the opponent waking up as early as possible, and Pokémon with sleep or powder immunity or the Sturdy ability.
      Well, it's not like Smeargle has any better attacking options if you can't use the above OHKO combo on them. Metal Burst will at least do a good chunk of damage. Maybe Seismic Toss is better at L100. Alternatively, you could go with a support move like Thunder Wave, Wish, Stealth Rock, Trick Room, a weather move, etc. Maybe Reversal after the Focus Sash has been triggered.
