The Alola Islands have a BIG Problem, and it’s name is Yungoos. Humans on Alola imported the Yungoos to rid the island of unwanted vermin, like the Rattata. What they didn’t realize is that this has a far greater effect than what they intended. Because the Yungoos is not native to Alola, it has no natural predators there, and this allows it to live unchecked! In this episode, I’ll reveal how the imported Yungoos will DESTROY Alola’s ecosystem and native Pokemon!

Theory: The reason that there are Espeons and Umbreons in the wild on Route 4 and 6 is this... They are the parental guardians of the wild Eevees and are combatting the yungoos.

[@arynrink2432]

I didn't know this when I first saw this video, but apparently the fact that yungoos and meowth being invasive species was not a coincidence. The ultra beasts were explained in an interview to be based on invasive species. So it's not to farfetched to say that a theme in the Pokemon sun, moon, ultra sun, and ultra moon was invasive species... or not idk

[@peppyhydra4544]

It's funny because Australia is basically a prime example of why invasive species are bad...To combat insects eating crops, farmers introduced the cane toad, which is a supertough amphibian and is now rampant throughout midwestern Australia, and they eat a lot of native insects...And early colonists introduced rabbits to hunt for fun, next thing you know there's over a billion rabbits in Australia and we have to build the world's longest fence to keep them out and introduce foxes to hunt/kill them, and then foxes spread out and start killing native wildlife like penguins on Phillip Island...Bloody hell the early colonists were dumb. Feral cats are also a real problem in Australia

[@yolokid5351]

[@johnnynightmare1837]

Aren't Dingos originally non native to Australia as well? I remember hearing something about them being descended from dogs that English Colonists brought with them.

[@peppyhydra4544]

I think the descendance of dogs is right, but much older than that...Maybe dogs Aboriginals bought with them 80,000 years ago

[@abadgurl2010]

If you think the fence was just for rabbits then you didn't see the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence.

This reminds me of when I took a vacation to Key Largo (island off the coast of Florida), and we kept seeing iguanas and found out that they're a big invasive species, so much so we could capture them whenever we felt like it and the park rangers would freeze them in a freezer. We must've saw at least 7 around our campsite and a good dozen around the restaurants. Though it was fun trip. Also thanks for making this video matpat. Also matpat never counted in the fact that some trainers are going to go on a rampage making every Pokémon they face faint, and the fact that evil organizations (or gangs) are gonna take and exploit Pokémon they find.

[@iconsumeplutonium]

The Dragon Historian not exactly. sailors constantly killed them because dodos were fearless of humans and couldnt fly, which meant they were easy prey. However Dodo meat was considered unsavory and was mainly eaten by sailors. Humans did, however, destroy the Dodo's habitats, while simultaneously introducing pigs, dogs, rats, macaques, and cats to the environment.

[@GBArkais]

Great video, Matpat, but I'm pretty sure if a Makuhita disturbed a Spearow nest it would be immediately attacked by a horde of Spearow. Remember the first episode of the anime? Plus fighting is weak against flying and Spearow's hatch with Peck, so I think they'll be all right. Pichu would probably be fine too since Pikachu live together in large groups (noted in both the anime and several Pokedex entries in the games), and while Pichu aren't that tough, yungoos' base special defense is absolute garbage. The adult Pikachu would likely drive them off from their territory. Eevee, Delibird, and igglybuff are probably screwed though. Eevee has a better base stat total, but would likely be overwhelmed by sheer numbers considering how low their spawn rates are comparatively. Same with the other two, who have worse stats than Eevee and are even rarer in Delibird's case.

[@technicallygood4620]

Eevee would be fine. Why? Well, not only are it's evolution options versatile, but people LOVE it. Populations decreasing would cause massive efforts to preserve it, maybe even leading to the full-on extermination of other species. Also, due to its popularity, it would likely be bred and perhaps even some would be released into the wild to repair the populations.

[@samuellawrencesbookclub8250]

You know, thinking about it, this 'imported Pokemon harming natives' could be a good way for GameFreak to get away with having reduced Pokedex in future. Certain species not being allowed into a region because they are at risk, certain species not being allowed in because they are a risk. Heck, this could even be why Sword and Shield have reduced rosters of Pokemon

[@gabrielacasapciuc2596]

Meowth could help actually..... If humans brought Yangoose to deal with Ratata population, but those couldn't do it because Ratata's are nocturnal, well Meowth COULD help with this problem, in a few Pokedex entries Meowth is said to be nocturnal, in Alola its even a DARK type. Also, keep in mind that cats kill 20.7 billion small rodents A YEAR. (But still, that doesn't solve the problem that Meowths would also kill birds)

[@d.k.t.3380]

Meowth could help another way: if you've seen Austin's theory about the move payday, use payday grinding from that theory to combat invasive species, perhaps by making it a requirement for a license to create money with/grind money out of payday (assuming that money is being created, rather than teleported).

[@Missingno_Miner]

exactly. invasive species are not always a bad thing. alolan meowth could be a second attempt at dealing with rattata where the humans did more research.

[@venomquill308]

Actually, i'm going to still you right there. More invasive species is NOT good. Cats especially since they are an absolute ecological terror. Rates are hard to catch. You know what's fun? Birds. The common house cat had the largest diet of literally any cat and most other animals. Bugs, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians--the only thing they don't eat are plants! They are hugely successful predators and bred at a high rate, constantly going into heat, sometimes getting pregnant while nursing kittens, and having litters from 3-7 kittens. With no known natural predator and the series if humans at their backs, cats can demolish anything. Just look at Australia! The English imported rabbits to kill for sport. When the rabbits escaped, they ate all the food the natives were trying to eat. When they got to numerous, humans decided to introduce the rabbits' natural predator: the fix. But wouldn't you know it, wallabies are easier to kill than rabbits so foxes killed them. More they have an incredibly efficient predator and prey that don't bother with each other and double-team Australia. Is recommended looking at Australian invasive species. There are whole lines of multiple creatures being let loose. They're the definition of "don't fight invasive species with more invasive species."

[@davethefyrezorua]

Matpat forgot about the most dangerous creatures than Yungoos, Makuhita, Grimer, and Meowth. 1. The ultra beasts 2. Eiscue (pokemon SwSh) Dex entry states it floated across an iceberg to Galar. 3. Meltan and Melmeatal (let's go Pikachu and Eevee, SwSh, GO) 4. Technically the Ledgenary pokemon found in the Dens in the Dynamax adventures 5. Cheep Cheep (super mario) Yes I'm talking about your favorite fishy friend from the Mario series, they also have made an appearance in Ledgend of Zelda. So yes they might potentially be a threat to ocean life.

Thing is Pokemon is nothing like the real world. Given their combat capabilities (like how you can have a Raticate fight against a Gumshoos and win if its strong enough) the whole predators vs. prey thing is a lot less fragile. Pokemon evolve _very_ quickly, as we can see from the Aloloan variants, so chances are they'll be able to adapt to those changes pretty well. Grimer, for example, is all over the Kanto region and is literally made of toxic waste, yet its effect on the environment and the Pokemon around is appears to be pretty miniscule so far.

[@Jubikus]

Eevee is all about evolution as far as adapting to yungoose being invasive it think an eevee is more suited to adapt to it than a rattata.

[@Purpulear]

Yea. Plus Any Eeveelutions are probably capable of defending. Just because there not good for competetive doesn't mean there super weak. Even Flareon would be able to defend.

[@thediethrower1803]

Jubikus Except they can only evolve by hitting a certain level near a rock (and that just gives them grass or ice typing in a grass or ice type biome) or getting given an evolutionary stone by a trainor. They can't just become a Flareon because it fits the occasion.

[@raeishimura]

Except that in the Alolan region, you can catch some evolved versions in the wild. Wild Umbreon and Espeon do show up, unlike anywhere else in the game world. This means that Eevee are already displaying adaptation by evolving naturally into more powerful forms, capable of fighting back far better than their unevolved state. Umbreon have rather high Def. and Sp. Def. at base, while Espeon have solid offensive capabilities. While they may not be the best, they are better overall than Yungoose or Gumshoe, and would be fully capable of defending themselves and the eevee that run with them.

[@BigaloMax]

You know... this would have been the perfect chance to introduce a rock type Eevee evolution in order to adapt to yungoos normal type! Or a ghost type...

[@xxTsukihime]

In theory that sounds good, some Eevees will evolve and be able to defend themselves. But what about the next generation? Will they be able to protect their young while the young are still in eggs? Will a predator easily sneak into the den with either eggs or baby Eevees in there and eat them all? Yes. Unless Eevees and their evolutions start nesting in groups or with mates, their young are still easy prey.

[@katarinadreams6955]

according to their dex entries, populations of grimer and muk have dropped drastically to the point where they may become extinct

[@YaosaysObjection]

Isn't that a good thing overall? They were brought in to deal with oil spills in the water, adapted to ocean pollution, and now the water in Alola is presumably cleaner. The main line isn't endangered in Kanto, so the sub-species isn't threatened from completely extinction, just lowered numbers.

[@ArtisticNightmares]

Thank you for all the pokemon stuff lol doing a full pokedex on Pixlemon.

[@Cipherkat]

So then... does "gotta catch 'em all" mean to preserve each species by taking them away from their newly introduced predators? Like endangered animals in a zoo? That way they can be bred and their numbers can be increased while the invasive species loses its main food sources and its numbers decrease? Just a comment theory!
