I wonder what a “Hoenian” obstagoon would look like

Probably a lot friendlier.

Imagine you're the linoone team and you manage to defeat your Galarian counterparts after an intense battle and while you're picking yourselves up you see two beefy bipedal badgermen walk into the arena.

[@janicedsilva16]

I'd be like "OH HELL NAH" or "R.I.P me"

I’d probably say the term for the variant from Hoenn could possibly be “Hoennese.”

Linoone was an ace on my emerald team. When the Galarian forms were revealed, I knew they were going on my team. I pick Linoone for nostalgia and Obstagoon for everything else. Let's get a Lunar Duo fight.

I just love Galarian Zigzagoon line all the way! I love the design and the lore behind it as the original species of the pokemon and the whole concept behind Obstagoon with it's mannerisms and battling style, also I have to say the whole Galarian Zigzagoon line has risen to be one of if not *the absolute favorite shiny pokemon in the whole game!* I just adore the crazy combination of blue and red spreading to everywhere it's body, *EVEN IT'S TONGUE IS BLUE!??!?!* They should definitely make more *crazy and gaudy shiny pokemon like this!*

[@sceptilefury7956]

Me: I think obstagoon is a rock and roll fan Ace trainer Liam: BUY G-FUEL!!!!

[@angusking1593]

They should have made non Galar evolutions as well. Mayve not called Obstagoon Sirfetch'd and Cursola but Pokemon with the same base stat totals that the non Galar forms become.

[@obi-wan1050]

But have different type an habilities, like Darmanitan

[@BBMacsWorld]

I was wondering how you'd do these form fights. I enjoyed it tho, 😁

[@stutteringkiwi9075]

Obstagoon was a surprise like for me. I was excited when it came out because, ya know, new Pokemon. But I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did. It's a good kid.

[@aliteralpotato873]

Can we get a zigzagoon form fight please

[@player7inlife]

Thank you Liam for this amazing content, and I hope you are doing awesome.

I never realized how nice shiny linoone looks. It looks like an actual animal that was born with different coloring

Awesome! I suggested this a while ago on another video of yours! :)

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

I like both Forms of Linoone. Never used Obstagoon because I always go with Pickup as the Ability for Linoone. Pickup is my favorite Ability in Pokémon due to how handy it is in game.

[@obi-wan1050]

You never play competitive, right?

[@jollyrogers408]

I think Linoone tied in that last battle. Taking their self out before Obstagoon could is just as Defiant as Obstagoon's ability as well, lol

[@klassikgamer1704]

Obstagoon's Shiny is so good in my opinion that I put my playthrough to a halt to hunt and catch a Shiny Zigzagoon. This was the first time I had a Shiny Pokemon on my main team.

Do mimikyu and eiscue because their abilities being simaller

[@Moleoflands]

I was expecting shiny Obstagoon to explode, but was only half right lmfao

Shiny linoone used metronome. . Fire Fang . Rest -->Explosion . Sheer Cold Shiny linoone is your average Wi-Fi Hero main, accidentally using the "I'm gonna kill myself" move in a panic, causing them to lose the game.

Squid Ink7 interesting stuff. You are swinging me. There are people online stating the same thing you are, but it’s not a super clear relationship. Argument could go either way. Tweet Liam, he’s the judge here. Although he thinks Hatterene is a vagina, so it may take a while for him to make an episode if such a day ever comes.

11:45 nice Edit: by that i mean its now just the final 2 Edit 2: maybe hoenn linoone should get its own evolution because galar gets to much love. It’ll obviously be obstagoon. Its eyes are blue still ofc. The X marks galar obstagoon has get turned into hearts as it gains a fairy typing. It has the same stats as galar obstagoon ofc. The black has turned white as the white of hoenn obstagoon goes to the light brown hoenn linoone has. The grey goes blue and same for the hearts. The claws are the same size and no difference from that. I’ll explain the shiny version when i want to. My idea, my times.
