👨‍🏫About Professor Silver & Pokemon Explained
Each episode of Pokemon Explained profiles a different Pokemon from the main cast and breaks down its COMPLETE history on the anime, including all of its battles, appearances, character development & significant storylines.
We'll be covering all of Ash and his companion's Pokemon.
We're just starting out, so if you have any requests or feedback, I'm game to listen! Please leave feedback in the comment section or email me at [e-mail].

[@KoolBeanz101]

The perfect ace for Gladion honestly fits him to a tea

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

💯

[@NOLJAK]

Gladion’s lyconroc was a pretty good addition to his team! I also liked the friendly rivalry with ash’s dusk form lyconroc, the scene where ash’s rockruf evolved was golden. 😎👏

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Green-Golden ;)

[@inamdaryasin]

I like how Gladion is the only rival whose entire team treated like actual characters like a main character team rather than just exist to battle Ash or someone else. It's so rare to see rival pokemons having this kind of interactions and impact on Ash's pokemon outside battle

[@Godzilla00X]

Love how they animated this Pokémon! Counter is a genius attack as this form prefers to be hit first than counter attack

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Sun and moon animation really grew on me over time

[@liamthegreatkitson]

Mallow's Tsareena: From Bounsweet to DOMINANT QUEEN Ash's Corphish: From Ruffian to BRIUISER. It's also worth noting that Corphish is male. Lillie's Vulpix: From Novice to BRUISER. She was confirmed female due to wearing an Ultra Guardians bow, since they're used for females.

[@danielferrieri7434]

Day Lycanroc: Normal Wolf Dusk Lycanroc: Orange Wolf Night Lycanroc: Furry Werewolf

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Makes sense to me

[@CraftedStarz]

I've always thought midnight lycanroc was cool in a like COOL way not like how furrys think about it.

[@luigiRobs14]

Night is supposed to be a werewolf

[@Jayakrishnantr5217]

Midnight form Lycanroc is easily my favorite form. Love the almost zombie like appearance it has.

[@supermariogamer1757]

Midnight is my favorite lycanroc

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I like it a lot as well, hard to pick a favorite tho

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video Professor Alex silver

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

My pleasure! 😎

[@sarahgilliss3503]

In Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, I captured (and evolved) three Rockruff (female) I'd found. Nicknamed "The Timekeeping Trio," I'd named them Solara (Midday form), Lunala (Midnight form), and Duskana (Dusk form), and gave them each movesets that matched the time of day they evolved in as closely as possible. Hohoho! Geeta, Kieran, the (not so) Loyal Three, and Terapagos never stood a chance! The three sisters OWNED them all paws down!

[@Lord_KillerBee]

Perhaps after the complete history of Ash’s Rowlett, you can cover Rowlett’s rival Hau’s Decidueye, as it would complete the set of the three main rivals Ash’s Alolan team had. Litten/Torracat/Incineroar’s rivalry with Professor Kukui’s Incineroar, Rockruff/Lycanroc’s rivalry with Gladion’s Lycanroc and Rowlett’s rivalry with Hau’s Decidueye.

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

You didn’t mention if he’s going to return in horizons if it takes place in the same universe

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Only time will tell if thatt happens :)

[@axels3188]

4:19 it was Because Faba was trying to take back Type Null which is what Gladion was defending at the moment.

[@adventurek2066]

This is Sun and Moon version of Lucario.

[@axels3188]

I think Gladion’s Lycanroc was cool and it was similar to Paul’s Torterra we’re it went out of its way to help Rockruff also you say It only lost Twice so you don’t count it it being hypnotised by Faba’s Hypno as a loss and you should do a video on Goh’s Cinderace next.

[@amarenixon6795]

I feel like if gladion and lycanroc ever fought paul or Gary he would rival both of them

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Tbh, Paul >>>>>>>> Gladion XD

[@Jess19980]

Your gonig back to the rest of the Ash Pokemon to complete it all right?

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Yup :)

[@looneygems]

This is my favorite form of lycanroc

[@drakeashtonmontefalco6603]

Powerful opponent and a great friend to Ash's own

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

💯💯

[@barrythebloodegde3521]

I wish Gladion had a midnight form lycanroc in the sun and moon games like he does in the anime. I always loved Gladion’s lycanroc cuz it edgy appearance and personality perfectly matches Gladion. I also loved the rivalry between it and Ash’s dusk form lycanroc cuz it made Ash win much more awesome.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

SM was great about building satisfying rivalrys

[@bremaster93]

In the future can you do a video on Cilan’s Crustle?

[@GoldSlash]

Finally Yes!!!!!! One of my favorite anime pokemon. Had to get myself a midnight form

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Hope it was worth the wait :)

[@ItsYaBoiBow]

I’m not a huge Midnight Lycanroc fan but I gotta say it does fit Gladion perfectly

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

That it does!

[@sarnasingh2132]

Nice

[@CoolNala]

This is, easily, my second favorite rival Pokemon, behind only Electivire. He reminded me so much of him, in how he respected Lycanroc, while being fierce rivals at the same time... Combined with an awesome move pool. It's awesome when the anime has rivalries going that have both Pokemon respect each other like this and, even, find the other as a mentor. Blaziken and Sceptile... The two Incineroars, etc. to name a few similar ones.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Electivire + Mega Charizard are my favs depending on the day

[@CoolNala]

@ProfessorAlexSilver Mega Charizard X was good, too. I just wish Greninja, of course, won at least once. I liked Mega Sceptile a little bit more though.

[@Fabian05_YT]

Good video

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@supermariologanfan6546]

I remember purchasing Pokemon Moon and Ultra Moon because I wanted the Midnight Form of Lycanroc Luckily, this was no longer a problem in SwSh and ScVi as you can evolve them depending on the time of day

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Crazy that they came out so many years ago. Time flys

[@ecanis_EV12350yt_Iamdumb]

Try to make a video about ash's rowlet i would love to see a video like that

I’m hoping to see more Team Rocket Pokémon Mainly Jessie and James

[@ashhikari626]

Honestly I kinda see the dynamic between this lycanroc and ash’s akin to the dynamic between kukui’s incinaroar and ash’s incinaroar so to speak with the mentorship

[@raider_reaper_4194]

One of the best pupper Pokemon 👌🏻🐶

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

True that 🤘

[@Pokefan-ne8zm]

You should try to do the history of ashes butterfree

[@MaihenBenjamin]

You forgot to mention that Gladion's Lycanroc was at Clawmark hill.I know because it watched carefully to see how Rockruff's improvement has been since it last saw it and not to mention Gladion's and Olviva's Lycanroc both cared and looked after Ash's rockruff.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I didn't include that as it's not confirmed if that was the same Lycanroc. I think it's probably not Gladion's because it was 12 episodes before Gladion's debut. The debut made it seem like his return was pretty recent

[@MaihenBenjamin]

@ProfessorAlexSilver Maybe they were showing Rockruff's idols and rolemodels already, so we will know when we will see them again in the show.

[@Rayvintv_ph]

What about gladion umbreion

[@jsiver76]

How about this, the complete history of Cilans pansage

[@AndrewDombrowski-fy8zv]

Hey, may be for your next one you can do ashes Corphish

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Probably in the next month or two. I just finished the script.

[@jerickblack45]

say that devastating drake you like them young 😂🤣

[@jetguy128]

Gladion's silvally and lycanroc are definitely most memorable in his team. I also liked gladion's strategy during final battle against Ash. He first used his strongest pokemon silvally to give ash some trouble. He then used zoroark to disguise as lycanroc to give ash false sense of security as it is a pokemon that ash is most familiar with for battling. But when lycanroc used night daze, that put ash off guard considering it cannot learn such stuff. After illusion went off gladion would pit his father's ace against ash's ace pokemon. Finally it would conclude with lycanroc duel. It may not have been full battle but it was definitely one of top 10 battles

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I wish Umbreon got as much spotlight as they did

[@jetguy128]

@@ProfessorAlexSilver its only memorable role was beating snowy, which isn't much.

[@johngrehan8346]

[@BeastPoke77777]

Brother what is your video uploading time❤❤

[@MACHIAVELLIAN-ok2im]

Hey professor i have a request since you are continously talking about every pokemons history in the anime i want you to make a video on "alpha infernape" there's a theory that say ash's infernape is an alpha pokemon 2022 game pokemon legend arceus reveals the secret power of ash's infernape which was unknown for a long time, centuries ago alpha pokemons exists in sinnoh region at that time sinnoh was called hisui region if u know then still let me explain a little more - alpha pokemons are slightly stronger than a legendary pokemons because they are not just super strong but also due to their aggressive nature but as much I've researched i found that " alpha pokemons are hell they get stronger and stronger in less time because they do intense training in wild areas something we saw about ash's infernape too, alpha pokemons never stay in same power level it's like they always break their limits and in the anime - when infernape activated it's alpha form in volkner's gym he was trying to destroy it but the infernape who activated alpha form in sinnoh league literally shaked the stadium and potentially could destroy it this is the power gap in alpha pokemons just because they grew stronger one thing more alpha pokemons know a move which can only be teach by move tutor and we know chimchar knows dig which infernape's evolutionary line can't learn by just levelling up this is what confirms he is really an alpha pokemon! Can you explain this one? How ash's infernape is the most rarest pokemon in anime holding an ancient power and this power could not just match but surpass even phenomena like bond or mega evolution because as i said earlier alpha pokemons never stay in same power level

[@Delphox2022]

I really want ashs lycanroc come back so much to prove he can do better in a 6 vs 6.
