7:30 Small error. It's not impossible for a male pokemon with his hidden ability to pass it down to the child, it's just less likely to pass it down more than the mother would. I would know because my Shiny Skeledirge, Pneuma, has Unaware from my starter Skeledirge having Unaware, since I gave him an ability patch abt a month after the games came out.

Good catch, I appreciate the correction!

Aw, thank you so much! I’m delighted to get the explanation. I’ve definitely seen the thing where a Pokémon with a hidden ability would evolve and wind up displaying its standard ability, so it’s good to finally know what was going on there

[@Admiral24]

I'm glad you managed to get something from my almost ten minutes of straight yapping; it's still wild to me that wild Pokémon can't just... have their hidden ability, though. Also, sorry it took so long for me to make this lmao

3:04 the way its going 2024 is absolutely NOT the year of our Lord

[@Admiral24]

Fair point, tbh

[@AceAndWalter]

They can take the game corner out of Pokémon but they can’t take gambling out of Pokémon.

I have great news; I already did a video on STAB! If you have any questions about STAB that don't fit what I cover in that video, you're welcome to leave a comment there and I'll get to it
