Random Pokémon Facts that May Surprise You!

[@ignacioperez5479]

Toedscruel is a mushroom, So no photosintesis, the sinischa line is dry tea leaf, So no photosintesis, bramblin and bramblegast are dry plants

[@emperorcubone]

Okay, I guess that works. Kind of odd none of the other Grass/Ghost types care about it before then though...

[@elemomnialpha]

​@emperorcubone Because they're still based on things that photosynthesize Pumpkin's do, tree's do, even seaweed still photosynthesizes I guess this doesn't exactly explain Decidueye though but what exact plant is it anyway, and it could be explained by the moves Japanese name clear sky, something that would benefit an archer with hitting their target

The tumbleweeds that are brown and "tumble" are in fact already dead. So yeah it makes sense that there'd be no photosynthesis going on in em. Their need for sunlight is instead swapped for thriving in wind that they depend on for mobility.

[@modenoatr]

The Zubat family is the only line from Gen 1 to still, after all these years, have a unique type combination. The Gastly line also shared this distinction, right up until the SV epilogue added Pecharunt as the last Pokémon in the entire Gen 9 Pokédex.

[@emperorcubone]

Oh, that's a good one! I guess that's true; even the other forms of Pokemon like Alolan Golem have other reps now too!

[@modenoatr]

@@emperorcubone If one considers both Nidoran lines to be the same family, then Nidoking and Nidoqueen were also unique until Paldean Wooper. Honestly it's a symptom of the fact that a whopping 33 out of all 87 Poison Pokémon are from Gen 1.

I would like someone to do a video on Pokemon Formulas like damage calculation formula, toxic damage calculation, chance of encountering wild pokemon, chance of landing crits, high and low rolls, and many other such mathematical aspects that happen in semingly random things we take for granted.

Problem is most of that is simple and can literally be summed up in like 15 seconds. And things like damage calc has probably been done before because ive seen it come up a few times, it's just a special equation (can find on seribii) But main problem is finding content around it thsts not just x does x damage.

I don't know all the formulas personally, but it might be worth looking up for a video!

[@aspiringwayfarer]

I absolutely never realized that about the starters (re: scratch, tackle, pound). Thanks for sharing!

It took me a while to figure it out too, but apparently types aren't the only things setting them apart!

[@neverttheguy2670]

12:59 funny thing is, there's fewer differences between Typhlosion and Charizard than there are between Tentacruel and Toedscruel, because at least those two don't share a regular ability.

[@mikeleddyphoto]

Speed stat is meant to show how long it takes a pokemon to create and use an attack, not how fast they are when running or flying. This explains Veluza, Vikavolt, etc.. a great recent example imo is Varoom, who has 47 base speed and the Slow Start ability, yet is the fastest synchro machine Pokémon

[@mikeleddyphoto]

I’d also like it to be known that I realize there are exceptions to this

[@ChaoticTeen16]

@@mikeleddyphoto Honestly, the only realistic Buffs Luxray needs are to have its Sp.Atk and Speed swapped, and to have its Rivalry ability replaced with something else.

[@Mirawaru]

Veluza uses gillet away to chase you. It is fast because it has boosted speed.

[@andresumiel9919]

If three heads takes longer to coordinate than two, wouldn’t that mean dodrio would have a lower speed stat than doduo? Since speed is about using an attack and not actual movement?

[@mikeleddyphoto]

@@andresumiel9919 ah yes you’re correct. I didn’t mean to imply that Dodrio has a slower speed stat than doduo, because that’s not true! While Doduo is faster than Dodrio when running according to those Pokédex entries, it wasn’t a good example to back up the point I was making in my original comment about the speed stat, so thank you for asking!! :)

[@colorweaver5070]

An extra fact about combining all the types if you found a way to get rid of the flying type (like using the move smack down) the Pokémon would become 8x weak to the ground type. it also quad resists bug type.

[@emperorcubone]

Man I love the Ground type! They had to have an immunity to it otherwise it would too OP...

[@WillDawg01]

Ahh, Pokedex entries. We're presented it as if it's the encyclopedia of Pokémon, when really, it's like a collection of folktales (which make its incongruities easier to swallow). Some of the folktales are based on some sort of observation, but other are like, "Hmm, it has two heads... It must be a survival trait so it can always be aware of its surroundings." "But sir, both appear to be sleeping." "No, no, no, the left one is just resting its eyes."

[@O.D25]

5:18 I think that could‘ve been solved if they made the third Gym Dark typed, so that bug has an advantage against it and it having an advantage against the Ghost gym.

[@lipika2841]

There also isn't a Ground-type Gym leader in Jotho games cuz Giovanni has stepped down & Blue has taken over. So if what the 3rd Gym was Ground typed instead & Bugs resist Ground attacks & Ground (in Gen2 atleast) would be able to hit Morty's Ghost Pkmn supereffectively as it's all just Gastly line & not Misdreavus.

[@emperorcubone]

That would make too much sense!! But like I said they did want to cover all the types Red and Blue missed, so they had to put Normal pretty close to the start...

[@michaelcollins1769]

Fun fact: The type weakness pattern is inversed in Kanto, with the future gym being good against the prior. There is also an exception to this pattern, being Blaine.

[@Chdonga]

My favorite niche pokemon fact is how due to a bug in gen 2, the Moon Ball doesn't actually have an increased catch rate for mons that evolve with the moon stone. Instead they have an increased catch rate for mons that evolve with... uihhhh, Burn Heal?

[@emperorcubone]

I almost put that one in the video!! It's a great random fact!

[@Compucles]

Aren't something like half of the Acorn Pokéballs bugged out in Gen 2? It's just one more reason to thank Game Freak for the masterpieces known as HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[@alwaysabiggafish3305]

​@@Compuclesit's things like this that made the games feel so obtuse sometimes that actually figuring them out the same way I did, for example, Final Fantasy, was just not an option for me and I drifted away from the series

[@toumabyakuya]

Curiously enough, Gen 2's Gym Leader trend is actually a perfect inversion of that of Gen 1's. As can be seen here: Brock < Misty < Lt. Surge < (resisted by) Erika < Koga < Sabrina ≠ (doesn't have any interaction with) Blaine < Giovanni.

[@ArmchairSun]

The Gen 3 starters had the tackle, pound, and scratch starting move combination too.

[@filipz5605]

Good catch! However, back then Pound was learned by grass starter instead of water one (Mudkip had Tackle)

[@DanKeehner]

On the Sunny Day thing, Bramblin's line are dead, tumbleweeds are only seed carriers and as such don't photosynthesize, Polchageist is ground macha powder meaning it can't photosynthesize, and Toedscruel is technically a fungus so it can't photosynthesize either meaning calling a Sunny Day gives no benefit (yes I know other fungus based Grass types get the move). In game reasons, Bramblin calling out the sun would prevent the 100% accuracy of Hurricane in the rain and Blizzard in the snow, two moves that its Wind Rider gives a benefit from being "hit" by, Polchageist gets Scald so they don't want to reduce its power(?) flimsy I know, and Toedscruel's Mycelium Might would give negative priority to a move that gives no advantage to it, and only amplifies its weakness. Though a slow Sunny Day into a regular Solar Beam wouldn't be a bad strategy. But hey, that's just a theory.

[@jgr7487]

The mandatory capture comes fr9m HGSS: you can't continue your way without catching Lugia or Ho-Oh. In GSC you totally could ignore them & go on your merry way towards Kanto with no Legends.

[@chrisdaubert8032]

One of my favorite random Pokémon facts is that there are 2 unique Pokémon type combinations that are only obtainable within battle (meaning a temporary form change). These are Mega Altaria (Dragon/Fairy) and Galarian Darmanitan-Zen (Ice/Fire).

[@emperorcubone]

Yeah, that's why I say we need a real Fire/Ice type to do it justice, and same for the other one!

[@Gear_Storm]

I imagine the reason the "pokemon is happier when in the location you caught it" never returns is because that accidentally implies they are happier where they were then traveling around with you, the person that caught them against their will 😅

Those were surprising

[@JesusMartinez-rr2ry]

Shedinja can learn Rest, although it always only have 1 HP, yet Growlithe can't learn Growl and Grimmsnarl is unable to learn Snarl despite those moves being in these Pokemon's respective names.

[@RoninCatholic]

This is because either the Pokemon, the moves, or both have different names in Japanese. Growl's Japanese name is "cry", which is why it's learned by an early game bird and is Cubone's only move as an abandoned baby until you train it in gen 1.

[@kirbyhasn9047]

You are really underrated Pokémon KZbinr

[@emperorcubone]

Well thank you!! I'm just glad people like you appreciate it. :)

[@lilharm]

remember the theory that the speed stat isn’t physical speed, but reaction speed so it’s possible Dotrio stopped running as fast as its prevo so it could better react to sudden events

[@Xachpro5475]

Suicune doesn’t have roar in frlg romming encounter

[@emperorcubone]

This is true, and why I didn't use a picture of Suicune by itself, it was just easier to talk about them as a unit...

[@bdt2002gaming]

This is because their level-up movesets are based off of Crystal in this game rather than Gold & Silver where all three had Roar

[@goldmemberpb]

Actual physical speed and the speed stat are two separate elements. If they were the same, many pokemon would have zero speed stats because they can't move at all.

[@Rat2rrj]

Oh THATS why i lost my firered raikou, i thought it was because i poisoned it!

[@acetrainerleo483]

Yeah alot of the water starters knew pound at the beginning. Also the kanto starters are my favorite starter trio followed by alola

[@emperorcubone]

Honestly as far as most balanced where I love them all and it's so hard to choose, I'd have to say Hoenn is my overall favorite group of starters...

[@ShouldaWoulda]

Funny enough Hoenn is one of the regions where the grass starter knows pound instead

[@creeperman1295]

"Start from scratch" See it's funny because in FireRed and LeafGreen, Charmander does start with the move Scratch :p

[@lipika2841]

Don't bring up Dodrio's Speed stat to disprove Doduo's 'dex entry cuz in case you don't know the Speed stat could actually be the reaction speed of Pkmn rather than the movement speed. Dodrio's (reaction) Speed is higher cuz it has an extra head to respond to things faster. Varoom has 47 base Speed & also Slow Start as its hidden ability, but in Synchro mode, it moves much faster than Revavroom & is 1 of the fastest in the game. So the 'dex entry you were talking about, logically speaking, could be correct. From now on if anybody asks me how many forms does Charizard have, I'll say 4 & they'd probably believe me. 7:46 My answer was initially Mewtwo, but then it turned into a new question & that is that why is Mewtwo in the Kalos 'dex? What purpose does it serve by being there?

[@jasontompsett-ince7164]

Never knew the phanpy water gun fact. Seems crazy to remove when we have so many pokemon that can learn moves based on theme and not types. So many pokemon can kearn things like dig or aerial ace...

[@attilaszanto2275]

If Rhydon can learn Surf, why couldn't Phanpy keep Water Gun?

[@emperorcubone]

Right? It's not even 4x weak to it like Rhydon is!

[@blakdeth]

The speed stat doesn't always seem directly correlated to actually speed. Just the pokemons ability to hit first. Dugtrio doesn't have high speed because it's actually fast. It has high speed because it's a whack-a-mole so you have to wait till it pops up to hit it. So maybe dodrio actually does run slower, but it has an easier time hitting you faster because it has more heads.

[@princeking1562]

In Gens 6 through 8, Elgyem and Beheeyem can learn Steel Wing via TM. Why can these wingless aliens learn Steel Wing? I get it, it's TM51 in Gen 6 and 7 (Area 51 connection?), but it's still bizarre.

[@emperorcubone]

It's just lucky that it was Steel Wing and not some other random TM that couldn't tenuously be connected to UFOs because then it would be utterly transparent how even THEY forgot about the Beheeyem line...

[@SeantheSharkGuy]

9:57 there are a lot of speed stat oddities like that, and honestly it leads me to believe that ‘speed’ might mean something else. Specifically, I think that speed meaning reaction speed/ reflexiveness would make a lot more sense, given Pokémon with surprisingly high speed stats like Dodrio (3 heads to notice and react even quicker than 2) and Purugly (cats are known for their quick reflexes)

[@emperorcubone]

Maybe... But then wouldn't that mean stationary Pokemon that couldn't react would have "0" Speed?

[@SeantheSharkGuy]

@@emperorcubone theoretically, but that would be pretty terrible as far as game mechanics go. Besides- and please correct me if I’m wrong- we have yet to see any truly stationary Pokémon that don’t react to anything. All of them can move at least part of their body or, like Darmanitan Zen Mode, can use psychic powers to move themselves around and attack

[@AloneTheorist]

Toedscruel uses the cover of darkness when hunting in the forest, the light from sunny day would stop it's sneaking as it's too slow to hunt by other methods also mushrooms grow better in the dark so you'd essentially be asking toedscruel to disable itself by learning and using sunny day.

[@GunslingerGilder]

The generation 2 gym weaknesses is a mirror of generation 1's gyms. Rock loses to Water, which is beaten by Electric, which is resisted by Grass, which in turn gets defeated by Poison, which gets overpowered by Psychic. Fire does nothing special in gen 1 against Psychic, breaking the chain, but then Ground stamps out Fire to start (and end) a new chain. It's most likely an amusing coincidence, but it's still funny how that works out.

[@jpcsdutra]

The type advantage cycle of type specialists is also pretty much present in Gen 1 too, and including the Elite 4; but in reverse. And it breaks in the second entry too, kinda. Ground beats Fire. Fire is neutral on Psychic. Psychic beats Poison. Poison beats Grass. Grass resists Electric (this is the only other iffy part). Electric beats Water. Water beats Rock. Now if you imagine a second circle in the E4: Agatha beats Bruno, Bruno beats Lorelei, Lorelei beats Lance. If Lorelei is counted as an Ice Type Specialist, she beats Ground and is beaten by rock, and the abundance of Lance's flying types also make him immune to ground and beaten by Rock, making the E4 another part of the cycle either the whole way through or just the first. It makes me wonder if at any point in development Dragon was considered strong agaisnt Ghost, because it was this close to being an entire 12 character weakness (or at least advantage) chain, with, again, the only outstanding point being the second link..

[@Volkaroar]

So with the gen 2 gym type matchups, it was speculated that instead of Normal we would have gotten a Dark gym instead since it would make the johto gym matchups all make sense (Bug being super effective against Dark). It was unfortunate we never ended up with a Dark type gym because of that.

Since then, have there been any new examples of this happening? Speaking of Azurill, it has a gender ratio of 75% female and 25% male. Marill has a gender ratio of 50% female and 50% male. This means that 1/3 of all female Azurill will change gender upon evolving into Marill.

It’s also possible Whitney was supposed to be the dark leader to keep the pattern going since dark wasn’t represented by any gym leader either. And do we need a normal gym? But they decided to save dark for the elite 4 instead. Miltank may have even been a dark type since it’s basically the devil.

Actually would have been quite fitting for Miltank, given how often cows and other cattle are associated with things like Satanism and Demonology. Maybe it could get a regional form? Dark is the most common type for that already, and a Dark/Rock type Demon Miltank would be such a meme. Especially if they add it to a Let's Go Remake of Johto. You brought a bunch of Bug type to fight Whitney, knowing that they switched the gym to be dark type, only for Whitney to still have a rollout spamming Miltank _with STAB_ just to punish you for not using Kanto Pokémon just like she did in the original.

raise your hand if you thought having only 1 shot at the working trio was just part of the game
