    Also, from my understanding, this Falinks on Route 8, like other wild encounters, will typically have the square sparkles ~99.9% of the time, so no this isn't anything "ultra" rare

      I wonder, Is falinks technically breaking all of the rules in pokemon? It is technically 6 pokemon in 1. So if a trainer has 6 falinks, they have 36 total pokemon in their party. Falinks can learn beat up. Through the power of Anime logic, Falinks will obliterate any opposing pokemon it encounters.

      What if, the troops matched the brass or leader's color? Shiny troops would become normal if the brass is normal, and normal troops would turn shiny if the brass is shiny? Maybe only the brass determines the shiny rate...

    Just wish to clarify that while exeggutor may seem to have only 3 heads, as seen in the pokemon anime It does in fact keep all 5-6 of its eggs/heads, just thought this was something interesting to mention

    • @AbsolBlogsPokemon
      @AbsolBlogsPokemon  4 года назад +54

      good to know! even with that info, I think Falinks still wins since it seems that sometimes a head falls from the Exeggutor's tree and becomes a part of another Exeggcute. Falinks would never accept that happening

    • @LunarisRuin
      @LunarisRuin 4 года назад +24

      Absol is correct, the heads do fall off, so they don't always have 6 or 5 heads. The fallen head then ends up making another Exeggcute by joining others.
      Which makes sense because, despite looking like eggs, they're seeds. It's like Exeggutor is scattering seeds, then a bunch of 'em from different Exeggutors find each other and become Exeggcute, and the cycle continues.

In real life this is a real thing, and it’s called “Pele’s Hair”, hence the wig joke. It’s very sharp and can stick to you easily which is why A! Dugtrio gets the Tangling Hair ability.

    I haven't paid attention to new pokemon designs for quite some time, but Falinks is definitely an A+ mon in terms of concept, design, naming, etc. I feel like it might deserve a point off for not being Fighting and _Steel,_ but aside from that, it's fantastic.
    The way it resembles a caterpillar and learns bug-type moves, the way even their *footsteps* have a slight delay like each one takes a second to match the movement of the one directly in front of them, the way the "captain" in the lead has more armor and a bigger helmet protrusion to distinguish itself from the others but leading by example by going out in front, how "No Retreat" appears to have Roman braizers and a violent storm raging, how its diminutive stature makes the war march it does both badass and absolutely adorable... it's all so damn good!

    Yo speaking of Mantine I always felt the circles on its wings were meant to resemble a fighter plane’s markings, and like the Remoraid were meant to be wing-mounted guns (as Remoraid is meant to resemble a pistol).
    Not only do I wish they kept them together, but a Galarian Mantine would’ve been awesome. Instead of Remoraid it could’ve had Arrokuda that it could fire like missiles.
    I guess Cramorant kind of took that idea though. Which is kinda a shame.

    0:33 “But Falinks used its First Impression on me and it was Super Effective” I GET IT, BECAUSE ABSOL IS DARK TYPE AND FIRST IMPRESSION WOULD BE SUPER EFFECTIVE. Genius.
    Also, yes, Falinks best gen 8 pokemon :3

    Falinks really is the best Gen 8 Pokémon. When I first got into a battle with it on route 8, I thought to myself, “holy crap that is so cool. This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but this is totally my favorite Galarian Pokémon.” Turns our I was wrong and everyone loves the Whoop Troop, haha.

    My first shiny was a random zubat I found during the post game of ultra sun. I was just trying to go through a cave when suddenly it appeared out of nowhere.

    Hey man, quick question. Whenever safari week happens, does the wild area technically count, and if not, would raids count? Also thanks for the inspiration on me starting this hunt aha

    @michaelnelson1127 4 года назад +1

    Yeah, the teamwork aspect is nice, but I like it mainly because they’re so cute! Also, I was looking to see what songs in the game match its marching tempo, and it’s the Pokémon Center music. I actually took a 30 second clip of them just marching to the song, and it’s adorable!

  • @Wupar
    @Wupar 4 года назад

    YES. Falinks is definitely my second favorite gen 8 Pokemon after Eldegoss. I managed to avoid all of the leaks before playing the game, and instantly fell in love with Falinks when I first encountered it in the wild. Since it's a fighting type that looks like a caterpillar at first glance, I nicknamed it "Battlepillar". Great taste, and great video.

    I love them too! Like seriously. After shiny hunting Wooloo which took 1000+ encounters (I lost count tbh). I was going to shiny hunt Milcery next but I got a shiny Meowth just 22 encounters after the shiny Wooloo. 2 shinymons in one day! So I decided to shiny hunt Falinks next. I can't wait to get my shiny squad. I think they are just adorable honestly.

    I like Inteleon personally ( named mine James Pond ) but Falinks is in my favorites. I learned the name Falinks is a reference to the formation of soldiers used in Rome.

    • @AbsolBlogsPokemon
      @AbsolBlogsPokemon  4 года назад

      You can do that, too! Backtracking to the gate like that and adding in the time spent loading maps is actually a bit slower than soft resetting the game

    My first shiny hunt as of Pokemon sword and shield! I'm so glad that Falinks is your favorite Gen 8 Pokemon as well! I bred it using the Mesuda Method and shiny charm, got it in only about 300 Eggs! I just wish there is a faster way to release/surprise trade them all...

    My Falinks is (are?) the girls. I love 'em, too, and I want to catch a shiny. Thanks for showing me how. I'm still not sure about how visible encounter shiny hunting works, or if it works. Would you be able to see that the Falinks was shiny from the visible encounter? I can't tell.
