Bloodcurdling Ghost Moves in Pokemon EXPLAINED! | Gnoggin

[@ShadowEclipex]

Don't get angry at Giritina for Shadow Force, he had that move before Phantom Force existed, so all other ghosts copied him!

[@shizathoth4534]

Yeah, although it is practically the patron god of ghosts, so I doubt it would mind.

[@DreballinArts]

Honestly, before seeing this comment, I assumed they were the same move

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

Maybe when Giratina was set free, he shook the balance between the realms, weakening the veil causing ghosts to have an easier time crossing and perhaps why ultra wormholes also started to pop up in Alola and in Galar! ITS ALL CONNECTED!

[@ShadowEclipex]

@@MrKlausbaudelaire I'd just assume game balancing personally, but sure. Maybe that too.

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

@@ShadowEclipex Honestly I think they just didn't come up with the idea yet. Them when they did with Giratina, they had to keep it as his signature move AT LEAST for one entire generation before creating a regular version.

I always thought the nail in Curse's animation was a reference to voodoo dolls, where you'd impale the doll of someone you wanted to harm to put curses on them; only in this case the Ghost types are treating themselves as the dolls to do the job, and obviously driving a nail into yourself is going to hurt. In fact in Gold and Silver's beta, there was a scrapped voodoo doll Pokemon (giant nail through its chest and all) who's signature move was Curse

[@jacobgalloway1392]

I also that it was a visual reference to the “final nail in the coffin” meaning the thing that finally does you in. Which is itself a reference to coffins at one point in time being nailed shut

[@timwoods2852]

Yep. Thanks to the Silk Road some Middle Eastern (and African) culture was passed into the Orient. So voodoo making it into Chinese, and then Japanese, culture is totally plausible.

[@fidyyam9470]

I thought of it as a reference to an old Asian tale (my mom used to tell me about it) where if you find a nail in a person's head, either they're actually dead or its a curse

[@gavinbrown216]

Turns out, it’s a reference to the Japanese equivalent

[@the13throse]

I always associated the move with Banette, which some Pokedex entries claim drive pins into their bodies to hurt others in a very voodoo doll fashion. It's only know that I realize the move didn't originate from Banette and the connection I made in my mind was probably just coincidental

Here's a silly minitheory: what if Marshadow is the ghost of a deceased Riolu? They both have very similar Pokedex entries about how they can sense how others are feeling (Riolu through Aura and Marshadow through hiding in peoples shadows). They are also both Fighting type, with Marshadow obviously being Ghost. They are also both 2'04", so there is no height difference. Of course, they don't really look like each other, so this is more likely just speculation rather than an intentional design. But I can dream!

I see myself in this comment and I don't like it

[@asherdevin]

Or it could have defeatist and get a type change, or wimp out like Wimpod. Above half health it's fighting type, and below half it becomes flying and switches out or gets phys/spec attack down and speed up. I can't decide between defeatist or wimp out since both help expand on the gimmick, figuratively or literally running from the fight, but I do think a form and type change is in order to really sell it. Maybe it could be another tengu pokemon. In fighting form it punches with it's wings, and in flying mode the wings get unfurled and it starts flapping away

[@Insertia_Nameia]

@@asherdevin there could be two types. One that's more about fighting and is fighting type, maybe give it something like sturdy or one that gives raises it's attack/sp atk or a move type when low hp. Then one type that is flying and has wimp out or deafetest.

Also, speaking of Tomato Facts: The reason why people thought tomatoes were poisonous for the longest time was because they ate on lead plates. The juices would collect the lead particles, and then they'd consume it, poisoning the person. While it's not the EXACT explanation as to why it'd poison people (as in i could have gone more specific) but it's the main idea

[@Insertia_Nameia]

But it is important to remember, some cultures already consumed a lot of lead. Lead is naturally very sweet. Some cultures, especially the nobility/rich, would add it in powder form to food and drinks to make it more palatable. So in some of those cultures that tried it and are off lead plates, they already had high amounts of lead poisoning so this would be a large dose that would easily tip them over into it being critical.

I think Eerie Light from Confuse Ray is more of a reference to ghost lights leading people astray, which is a pretty common myth. The lights appear in marshes or forests, and people follow them thinking they're fellow travelers or signs of civilization, but they just end up making people even more lost than they were. That sort of thing. It fits the Japanese name, and explains why "following the lights" (i.e. being hit by the move) always confuses the enemy.

[@Citatel1412]

I like to think that confuse ray: its a ray of ghost energy that gives hallucination of sort to the target confusion: saying big brain words at others to the point of confusion due to target's small brain

8:28 honestly I know you made that to prevent any copyright problems, but that was a lot creepier than it should have any right to be.

As the opponent is taken to trick or treat, they don’t notice their body becoming more ethereal and leaving their version of reality. Also, seeing as how trick or treating seems to always start just before twilight, and twilight opened the path to the spirit world (not sure if that’s the name they used) in Spirited Away.

I like to see ghost-type moves as more illusions and dark magic, hence the shadow moves and curse. And curse deals damage to ghost types because dark magic usually drains the soul, and ghost types are just souls

[@korepandora]

I like to think that the curse move makes you sacrifice something in order to gain something (or in the ghost type case, to harm someone)

[@richardvontersch4522]

So If I had to guess why Marshadow's signature move, Spectral thief, steals stat buffs, I believe it is because shadows are typically considered like a part of your soul that reflects your skills and abilities, hence stealling from the shadow would be robbing the oppenent of their aquired strength(ie: stat buffs) . That is also why the Z-move is called soul stealing. Again this is just my crappy memory and I've at least over simplified the meaning, or just got it wrong.

[@robertlupa8273]

Makes sense to me.

[@eldritch_whispers1654]

[@kawaiimimi6349]

exactly lol

[@Chatterbox1237]

Let ME correct you: Today we are talking about ‘da best type in the entire worlds’ moves

[@Daniel_Coffman]

When I thought of Confuse Ray and why it would be Ghost-Type, I immediately of something like how you may see orbs flying around or like the Kitsunebi legend; which the Kitsunebi is a double-whammy for Ninetales as it can learn both Confuse Ray and Will o' Wisp. I thought of how those orbs are said to lure travelers to their doom. Not directly harming them, but luring them into a trap in their confused curiosity.

It's literally just a drawn out "better to be safe than sorry", which is an ancient saying 😜

Honestly love how much effort you put into this and love the way you explained it Lockstin. Ghost types are my fav.

Great video, as always! Loved the use of the N64 Super Mario sound on 12:51

Hello y'all! Love the vids Lockstin!

[@timwoods2852]

Potatoes are also in the nightshade family. They can literally graft the two together, so you can grow both at the same time. (Never eat potato berries, they are deadly!) Fun fact: Neverending Nightmare is eerily close to the negative out of body experiences people who have nearly died report. While the good end has people going through a tunnel of light and wilding up in Heaven or somesuch, the opposite sees people hearing dark voices and evil arms dragging them down to Hell or the like.

Man the Disneyland nerd in me is not going to just ignore that he used the actual haunted mansion's foyer at 7:40

[@kaipo09]

23:20. Well, there's also seven points or stars that makeup the big/little dipper with one of them being the North Star. This attack also connects them into a similar in-game symbol. Other wise there is no obvious reference to Fist of the North Star. None, unless it references a constellation having each point punched or stabbed into someone's chest.

[@cullenhutchison6528]

I'm sorry, but Bayonetta's smash attacks are so slow that everyone in the universe can react to them.

[@yamirami8642]

Of all ghost type Pokemon he could have picked, something popular like Gengar or Dragapult. Something creepy like Banette, or Mega Gengar, he chose the best ghost type Pokemon to have on the thumbnail. Sableye. Thank you Lockstin, you just made my day.

[@zentendoxn8955]

Ah, wait. You made the first of these ‘all moves of a type’ videos before Sword and Shield came out. You’ll have to make either a video on the remaining moves of the other types you preemptively already made videos for (correct me in the comments if I missed one or got one wrong, but I think those are Fighting, Steel, Dragon, and Fairy), Max and GMax moves included, or-now that the Crown Tundra has come out-a video on all of the moves that Gen 8 introduced, Max and GMax moves included. Also, you’d have to update your Gen 8 video with all the Pokémon that were introduced in the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra...

Ghost is in my top 5 favorite types for sure Ghost types have some of the best designs: Spiritomb Chandelure Mimikyu Lunala Trevenant Golurk Giratina Aegislash etc.

I guess I always assumed that shadow punch was a shadow shaped fist coming from the targets shadow which is why it never misses because it’s from your own shadow

4:26 There’s also an ancient Roman way of cursing called “defixiones”, where the nasty thing you hoped to inflict on another was written on a piece of paper or thin lead sheet, rolled, and pierced with a nail. Or it could be a waxen tablet with a pin.
