I think the reason why Rhydon has all these moves is that the 'monster' type Pokemon like Nidoking and Tyranitar are based on kaiju, which have all kinds of energy attacks and weapons in their movies. Rhydon has the same giant movepool both of them (as well as Aggron in Gen 3 and Duralodon in Gen 8) have.

18:37 Scott, I think I speak for your faithful viewers when I say we love the Venomoth joke. Yesterday I made a joke on your Exeggutor video that Venomoth is a Fire Grass type when you said it was Bug Poison, and it has 41 upvotes and 15 comments in less than a day. Please continue the joke, it’s always fun to have an inside joke for your channel, and I think Venomoth’s typing is a perfect one. If you want, put a little asterisk on it when you say it that tells new viewers to check the description, and you can explain it there.

The joke is subtile, and make you want to find out whats the deal with Thisted guy? 200+ videos of pokemon and he doesnt know venomoths typing? You dive in and find a dedicated genuine pokemon dude. Hes voice is soothing, friendly. Hes informative and tells about himself in a way Thatcher you fejl you know him. Thanks for the content

@@iantaakalla8180 Why wouldn't it be? Geodude is by far the most common Rock you encounter in the game, it's a trade evolution, which puts it in the same category as Gengar, and Golem has a BST on par with the starters (420 versus 425). There are Pokemon in Gen 1 that were designed with the intention of being bad, like Farfetch'd and Ditto, but I think in the ecosystem of Gen 1, the Geodude line was intended to be the "baseline" Rock-type, filling the same role that, say, the Abra line does for Psychic-types. Onix is the Pokemon that exists just to serve as Brock's ace. In fact, the thing that caused Golem to fall off in comp had little to do with Rhydon and everything to do with meta shifts. See, it was discovered that Body Slam couldn't paralyze Normal-types, so that meant that users of Normal-types like Chansey and Snorlax started to feel safer in leaving them in to tank hits. To accentuate this, they started running Reflect, which, in Gen 1, doubles defense. Golem's main niche over Rhydon was that it could blow up, which one-shots Chansey and does 65% minimum to Snorlax, allowing it to blast a hole in the opponent's team - but if they used Reflect, suddenly that drops off to doing about 50-60% to Chansey and about 30-40% to Snorlax. Add in the fact that Chansey is slightly faster than Golem, and it made blowing up on it a lot riskier.

All the earliest Pokemon were designed before types were a thing (It looks like they may have had stats for Lighning, Water, and Fire Resistances/Attack Power but that's it). As a result, they weren't made with elements in mind, which meant they they were assigned most if not all the TMs. So a common thread in these early Pokemon is that they seem to learn just about every random TM. Others in this group are the Nidos, Lapras, Kangaskhan, and Gengar.

Scott, I've been a viewer of your content for a pretty long time now. And I know this is gonna be a selfish response in a lot of ways, but please never drop the Venomoth running joke. Not only do I find it ridiculously charming since Koga's Venomoth still causes even some of the best Pokemon problems in these solo-challenges and thus I see as worthy of a running joke, but Venomoth is also one of my older brother's favorite Pokemon. Bug-type Pokemon are some of his absolute favorites, and Venomoth in particular is one he's attached to because of the potential he's always believed it had. When I tell him about your videos he always asks me "What type is Venomoth today" and it always makes him smile when he hears what absurd combination you give it that day. This joke never feels forced to us, especially since telling it only takes a second for you to do so it never wastes time. It also helps you dont always use it. We love you for you Scott, and that goes for the humble sense of humor you display as well.

I'd say the venomoth jokes are still good. I am still relatively new to your channel but have binged at least 100 videos since then of yours, and the first couple times I noticed the venomoth meme I immediately thought "oh this might be on purpose for something I don't know" and some videos later you mentioned it and I learned. I never thought you didn't know what you were talking about even as a new viewer, however I am 28 years old and not a gullible child so that is probably something else to consider, I dunno.

Regarding Rhydon's weird elemental move access: the Normal-type theory seems plausible, as the Substitute/generic Pokemon design looks like it could be based on a Rhydon that wasn't yet a Rock-type. However, lately I've been thinking that the designers may have had a concept of monstrous-looking Pokemon being mystical. Lots of Pokemon like that (Rhydon, the Nidos, Marowak, Primeape, Gengar, Dragonite, etc.) have elemental moves that seem really out of place. Gengar might make sense to people, but its rival Alakazam doesn't have any. Machamp does, but not Alakazam, the poster-child of Gen 1 Special attackers. It seems like it may have been an intentional theme.

For several years in competitive Gen I, Rhydon and Golem were nearly interchangeable, with extremely similar roles (Normal resistor, as well as being the only mons that could wall Zapdos). It was basically a matter of having better stats vs being faster and having Explosion. That is, until it was "discovered" (... even though Stadium 2 says it outright) that you can't paralyze Normal-types with Body Slam. After the shake-up ended, the metagame changed to the point Golem was too weak to achieve much (e.g. Chansey running Reflect more often, and Golem can't one-shot Chansey after Reflect), with Rhydon's higher base Attack (2HKOing Chansey even after Reflect, and sometimes doing that to Starmie) doing much more work, plus 104 HP Substitutes allowing to stomach one Night Shade or Seismic Toss. PS: In case you're curious about Rhydon vs Cloyster, Rock Slide sliiightly outdamages Thunder.

No no, the Venomoth was definitely a Fairy/Steel type here.

I absolutely love the thumbnail! I'd love to see more like this. So much more personality than just a picture of the Pokemon. Also, tell the people complaining about your Venomoth jokes to can it. I look forward to those jokes in every video. And if people think you don't know what Venomoth really is, just direct them to your random type Venomoth video. That'll have them wondering what it is by the end. Hahahaha

It's a Godzilla-esque monster, so they wanted to give it the ability to travel through water, like they did later with Tyranitar and Aggron

Btw Golem has really fallen off in the gen 1 competetive scene when they discovered that body slam can't paralyze normal type pokemon

It not longer fights the normal types as well as rhydon does, which is oversimplying it but Plague von Karma has a video about it if you're genuinely curious about it.

​@@skeetermania3202basically it became much more common to leave your normal type against another normal type because you are no longer afraid of a body slam paralysis, and this lead to a significant increase in reflect sets, and reflect greatly caps golem's explosion value

@@franslair2199 Rhydon also just hits harder and has better bulk overall due to better HP. You can probably bait something in and blow up on it with Golem on the switch but that's about all it does that Rhydon can't do.
