Farfetch'd is a decent item carrier. It's more plausible than the rest. Leeks are fairly uniform and easily replacable, especially if they're common place plants in the Pokémon world, like medicinal leeks in Hisui.

[@enigmatic2878]

Same goes for cubone. Although he had already mentioned it

[@giboit.]

It also makes sense for fighting types, the type of pokemon literally known for training constantly to have items to help with that. And even for the ones that aren´t fighting type. They are pretty interesting because these kind of pokemon get a unique and pretty distinctive fighting style thanks to the objects they use to fight, their objects are tied to the concept for their design and are made from things that they made or found in nature.

[@A529-g3k]

I consider it hypocritical to dispise this kind of pokemons and liking Alkazam and cubone

[@TheDeathmail]

All of them are plausible when you remember that they are also inspired by Yokai and magic and fables...... Like, they are trying to add a weird logic to f***ing magic....

[@SeantheSharkGuy]

I would argue that, along with being a pseudo-legend, Beldum fits in with the ‘payoff’ group. I mean, the only move it learns is Take Down until it evolves, which is a pretty horrible move

[@calvinvandermeer6541]

Wimpod should also be there

[@nsiems09]

I think you could argue that Noibat also falls into the "pay off" category. Since it takes forever to evolve.

[@mbcjr01]

[@daniel6678]

I think the idea is supposed to be less "pokemon that suck but evolve into something good", and more "pokemon whose whole theme is that they suck but evolve into something majestic"

[@wockomtosh]

My issue with baby pokemon is that a lot of them felt like they came from pokemon that could have been buffed by an evolution. And maybe that's just Pichu, I always felt like Pikachu (without the light ball of course) and Raichu were pretty weak, and then Pichu is just them but worse. Design wise they are just fine, and some are amazing. Agreed on the round Pokémon.

[@anthonywilliamces3949]

Yeah, like the existence of Chingling

[@adam.n-steve]

Well, some of them are two stages so there's still time

[@KertaDrake]

Some are pretty cute, but all are a straight downgrade on existing Pokemon and only serve to make breeding take slightly longer.

[@master-of-dreams7455]

While you mentioned evolutions that are multiples of the old form, there is another niche genre I would like to point out- Pokémon that have a bond with another Pokémon. Mantine that literally takes a Remoraid under its wing upon evolution, Slowbro and Slowking that have a symbiotic relationship with that “thing” the anime tried to pass off as a Shellder, and Drakloak and Dragapult that carry around Dreepy with them and even incorporates them into the final evolution’s signature move.

[@daniel6678]

You could also add Shelmet/Karrablast, and even ones that are just intended to be thought of as a pair, like Seviper and Zangoose with their rivalry, since it doesn't really make sense lore-wise to have one without the other. Even Volbeat/Illumise could fit that.

[@hunterlavish]

@@gadobriel5417 Good point. Also the armor it/they wear comes from metal they absorb from war. They're able to draw it out of their bodies to reuse it as armor. So my headcanon is that it literally just summons the sword on its own. (in game, they still summon metals to covered the rusted sword and rusted shield anyways)

[@gadobriel5417]

[@TheDeathmail]

I think all of them are great because Pokemon are supposed to be magical creatures based on myths, legends, folklore and monsters.... Like, they are magical creatures.... so is it weird that they have those objects????

[@thiagoaraujoeng]

The form of Zacian that’s carrying a sword literally requires you to give it a sword. So it doesn’t really have the same problem as the others

[@bird_obsession]

I'd personally move regional birds up a few spots (and, of course, "Is a Dragon" Pokémon should be moved higher due to the very existence of Altaria), but other than that, this list was very solid. Thanks for another banger, Hoops!

[@adam.n-steve]

Especially when those dragons surprisingly have deep origins. Altaria is based on a mythical bird with clouds as wings and can turn into a giant fish. Goodra is based on a french legned when a knight fought against a giant snail and there's a type of dragon that hides in cave and then comes out like a snail.

[@kirillalexandrov6764]

Regarding Pokémon carrying an object. Some Pokémon have a good reason why they carry a certain object, like Conkeldurr, for example. Some of its Pokédex entries states that it knows how to make concrete by itself, and it even taught people how to do it in ancient time. Timburr can just find a random log in a wild. And there's more with great reasons. Like yeah, some Pokémon have no reason for carrying objects, but still some Pokémon with good reason need to be credited at least. Or just do a little bit researching before making a conclusion on some Pokémon. Oh, and a reason why some Pokémon carry an exact same looking object is because Game Freak does not want to make for every single Pokémon an individually looking object. :)

[@giboit.]

Timburr´s log is also stated to be a way to indicate when it is going to evolve.

[@kingrex9622]

In gen 8 an obstagoon acted as a roadblock pokemon if you went back to route 2 when you could surf with the bike. It’s a neat callback to the roadblock pokemon

[@Sebastian-bu7oj]

I don’t think that one counts as a roadblock Pokémon

[@EndlessNight025]

Zacian doesn’t always have the sword in its design and only carries it when you give it the Rusted Sword since it’s actually using it to fight. Also, I would say that other Pokémon that are known for holding objects likely have an instinct that makes them seek out those items since they seem to aid in their fighting capabilities in some way. Probably for simplicity sake, the games just have the Pokémon already have their signature objects when you catch/hatch/evolve them. Also also, there’s a lot more furbait Pokémon than you think…

[@StritzTheCrow]

@Malakai Blue good idea too

[@Raquan82]

Wouldn't Psyduck be a roadblock Pokémon too? In the Sinnoh games.

[@Jas-i7x]

I think it only makes sense for cubone to hold a skull bone actually and thats why it works. It's carries the bones of its dead mother and wears its skull which is why it makes sense to me. Maybe not all of them would obviously carry one I just think for that genre, cubone is a 'pokemon who holds an object' done right

[@vicinte]

then making them exclusively all wear the skulls of their mother makes no sense- which is what pokemon does. Why is cubone born with its mothers skull???? And what happens if the mother is a ditto? It makes no sense and is simply a poor gen 1 lore choice (like trainers with whips) that shouldve been retconned when they had the chance.

[@Jas-i7x]

@@vicinte OK I'm going to have to admit that u are right here and u made valid points too. It is kinda strange that every cubones mother has deceased and I can't disagree with u that the lore to it is just poor writing from gamefreak. Gamefreak just wanted to give cubone a reason to wear the skulls or to sort of solve the mystery as to why they have the skulls but that explanation of it wearing the skull of its deceased mother has tons of loop holes to it.

[@vicinte]

@@Jas-i7x when it comes to lots of weird lore things like this (especially those that come up in Pokedex entries, since there are numerous times that they are simply false), such as like some ghost Pokemon literally being dead people, or Cubone and it's skull, I headcanon that it's just a "myth" and in reality it's just like an exoskeleton.

[@Jas-i7x]

@@vicinte yes I would also just like to believe that the skull is just an exoskeleton or maybe even a pattern (similar to skullcrawler from king kong) and I think you're right on the fact that you can't really look at the dex entries at a logical point of view (magcargo dex entry literally said its hotter than the sun) and I think it would be much more interesting (in my opinion) if maybe it was just an exoskeleton but when humans were trying to explain why it looks so much like a skull the myth of it wearing its deceased mother's skull became well know and popular

[@daniel6678]

-dunno about shinies, since that category includes literally every mon lol -pokemon pretenders is a good category! voltorb/electrode, wishiwashi, and klefki would all also work here -definitely agree that "mascot" mons could be their own group. any of the mons in smash would work -split evos are a great group since they all each kind of have distinct personalities across their pairs (think slowbro vs slowking, or glalie vs froslass) -I really like that last category too, and you could even include other mons that are integral to the "intro" part of the story, like the zigzagoon that corners birch or the starly that attacks at lake verity

17:34 Psyduck was one in Gen 4

"There's only 3 fur bait lines" Uh whut? Hoops, buddy. You're smoking something. Blaziken, Lucario, Lopunny, Zoroark, Braixen, Delphox, Lycanroc (Night), Incineroar, Salandit, Zeraora, Cinderace, Toxtricity, Sneasler. Anyone feel free to add one and I'll add it to the message

[@edenanimates1465]

I know this is own opinion but what the heck How are babies more good then flipping legendaries

[@bodgmasterxionobst3r983]

Bruh baby mons are an ok category, but Ultrabeasts and Legendaries are Waaaaaaaay Better.

[@mattdabeast315]

You forgot about the noibat family as they are also part of the payoff group

[@chimiponce]

I feel like wooloo should count as part of the road blocking Pokémon cause of the beginning of sword and shield as well as the psyduck in diamond and pearl

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

I feel like Zubat would also be one of those evolution payoff Pokemon. As a Zubat it's weak and a chore to raise. But Crobat is absolutely awesome.

[@fireskull7721]

Lopunny is furbait aswell

[@uaiso5200]

This is a good video to get inspiration to draw your original pokedex. If one day i draw one i would use each one of these groups

[@pokeruskai]

Before this video I though Relicanth's eyes were its red circles.

[@PLAYERGAMING-hx8zl]

An opinion... I do like Sawk and Throw

[@bodgmasterxionobst3r983]

Power to you, they have a really cool origin

Only one entry in and you ticked me off. My Delphox will be seeing you soon... (Edit) Also why is it nobody treats Marill like a Pikaclone anymore? Did everyone forget the "Pikablu" nonsense?

[@gustavju4686]

Cubone's bones makes sense lorewise.

[@DerNiko]

There's also the Psyduck in Gen 4 who block your path and Crustle in Gen 5, Gen 6 has Snorlax again and Gen 7 in a way has Tauros and Stoutland (including the people they're with), Gen 8 has Corviknight in one spot at least. They didn't stop doing these. If you only want to include the ones you yourself need to do something about then it's at least up to Gen 5 and 6, since the Tauros/ Stoutland/ Corviknight are more story forced blocks that go away on their own.

[@xRoxas666x]

Furbait is missing Braixen, gardeviour, absol, and a bunch of others.

[@REDscar9000]

well with zacian you have to physically *give it* a rusted sword so it works
