Fake out's Japanese name is "nekodamashi", it include “neko” (cat's Japanese) so most of cat pokemon like incineroar and mewostic can learn fake out, except meowscarada. As a magician, meowscarada should do better in "fake out", but Gamefreak didn't give that move

[@robertlupa8273]

I think that might be a balancing thing. They don't want Meowscarada to be even better than it already is with the rest of its moveset, but they're perfectly fine with Incineroar being OP, so it gets to keep Fake Out.

[@rjd1922]

Meloetta couldn't learn Swords Dance until Scarlet and Violet, despite it being very useful for Pirouette Forme and dancing being that form's whole thing.

[@lilharm]

an Explanation I would understand for Ampharos not getting Tail Glow is that it’s Japanese name is “Firefly Glow” but that only brings up the question of why Manaphy and Xurkitree get it, and why Illumise doesn’t

[@Gloomdrake]

The slugs that Manaphy is based on are the fireflies of the sea, maybe? Could apply that to anything bioluminescent at that point, but whatever. Maybe Xurkitree has a symbiotic relationship with an alien species of firefly? Something like Zinogre from MonHun

[@robertlupa8273]

Yeah I don't get why Xircutree gets Tail Glow (unless "it's an alien, it can be weird" is a good enough excuse in your eyes).

[@shadymahe]

For Volbeat it's Because Tail Glow endorses sexism because only males have tails (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

[@lerdog]

@@robertlupa8273 it is in mine, honestly lol

[@christiancinnabars1402]

The only solution is to add a new move called "Tail Beacon" in both JP and EN that raises Sp. Atk by 2 stages and accuracy by 1 stage, which Ampharos could learn. And Xurkitree, too, because why not at this point.

[@pokeperson1000]

Illumise appreciates you making the deleted scenes and conversation tangents available to your channel members.

[@theBigThermoG]

1:59 im laughing at the discription of headsmash

[@joycelinlgbtq]

Illumise should have been given tail glow too, since in Japanese the name of the move is firefly glow. It is still a firefly after all, and it's the one out of the pair with the higher sp atk, so it would make better use of it than Volbeat.

[@edgargaebolg9307]

Female fireflies don't glow. Then again, they don't look like the males either

[@vision4860]

I always thought that Illumise and Volbeat were done dirty by being made as pure bug types. While they're both the *Firefly Pokémon,* the name Volbeat likely comes from "volt" (referring to electricity) and "beat" (as in a wingbeat, or possibly from the word "beetle), and fireflies are also known as "lightningbugs". Pure Bug is a boring typing imo, and I always thought it would've made both of them better and differentiated their abilities from each other if Illumise was Bug/Fire, and Volbeat was Bug/Electric. And for good measure, change Volbeat to being the *Lightningbug Pokémon* for thematic purposes.

[@megamonVCG]

The applin part is the most hilarious part lmao.really f****** intense gravity.

[@jmpjmp37]

Every fire type final evo that learns Earth Power by level up has either a secondary rock, ground, or steel typing. I think ignoring that makes for a weak argument in favor of Typhlosion or Entei getting it.

[@gavinaaric]

For some reason I got notified on the deleted scenes

[@slemtem520]

Illumise is insane and is one of the most degenerate pokemon ever made. Prankster with Encore and Infestation is a horrific combination that can have you completely trapped and unable to use any useful moves. This and illumise can learn Roost and Moonlight for healing and hold a Grip Claw to keep the opponent trapped for 7 TURNS. Infestation deals 1/8th of the opponents HP to them. This GUARANTEES A KO against any pokemon without Leftovers as you can hit them with Infestation a few times to ensure a KO before they can switch out. It gets worse. You can run Rest or Substitute to avoid status conditions and in some generations, Illumise gets Aromatherapy. That's right, it can trap pokemon and guarantee KOs while curing your party. It can also throw out Thunderwaves. Yes, I've seen many trainers quit after they attempt to play around the conniving bug by sending in a counter, only for it to be crippled. You can fully invest in her bulk without any downsides in your offensive strategy, and this makes her a surprisingly resilient pokemon. While mono bug isn't known as a great defensive type, I've found the ground resistance to be a unique and great defensive strength of the type. Ghost and Dark types are her true enemies, as the former cannot be trapped by Infestation and the latter cannot be affected by her status moves. Though, a bug buzz variant can catch the Dark types off guard, and no ghost type enjoys Paralysis. Unfortunately, you have to forgo Infestation if you want to run both of these moves and still have access to healing. There are other ways to run Illumise. She has many support moves like Tailwind and Light Screen. She also gets giga drain for a niche offensive healing option. 🪲💜

[@tezzaract365]

I like to think that the Turtwig line missing Shell Smash without breeding is because they're a softshell turtle/tortoise. They get it as an egg move because they inherit a slightly tougher shell from their non-Torterra parent.

[@FlamingPhoenix88]

2:29 not the married couple fighting someone say it ain't so 😭

[@Regeor]

The problem is that some moves are so specific that they don’t get a TM. So Gamefreak could easily forget to put a move that makes sense in the level up moveset.

[@GiordanDiodato]

plus they often have different names from the Japanese name.

[@bigpoggers6507]

2:31 Are we just gonna brush past Rampardos pulling out fucking Light That Burns The Sky? 😭

[@MEPlaysGames]

yes we are thanks for asking

[@ShursGarden]

I normally don't do the "Leave a comment about X" thing but this time I actually DO have something to say. Illumise was actually the second Shiny pokemon I found ever. I was playing a completed save of Alpha Sapphire and debating resetting so I could play through the game again. I was just mindlessly hatching eggs on the Day Care route between Mauville and Verdanturf, and accidentally moved into the grass and got an encounter. I was grumbling audibly, and then I saw the shiny sparkles on Illumise.

[@robertlupa8273]

What a neat experience! Did you end up using the shiny anywhere?

[@ShursGarden]

@ no, I ended up resetting, but it went into Pokémon Bank first

[@Fr4yDay]

A lot of people say Illumise should get Tail Glow. I think it should juxtapose Volbeat by, instead, getting Quiver Dance

[@Submissive-Soul]

[@worldsboss]

Firefly Light is the reason Ampharos can’t learn Tail Glow. By that logic, Xurkitree shouldn’t get it either, but still.

[@josephward1071]

Rampardos should learn Skull Bash

[@GothitallicaALT]

So I haven’t use Illumise either but I actually have a comment about it. So during my mono bug nuzlocke of Alpha Sapphire I caught a Volbeat. Terrible Pokemon but I thought tail glow wouldn’t make it…completely useless. But it turns out that for some reason Volbeat is a physical attacker. And get this Illumise, who is a special attacker, doesn’t get tail glow. I wanted to throw my 3DS at the wall after finding that out Edit: I watched the deleted scenes and I see why this is the case now. Still rage enducing

[@Nosretep]

Bruh, that's beyond dumb.

[@eatinghotwheels8295]

Comet Punch and Meteor Mash are named the opposite in Japan. Same reason why Hitmonchan can't get Sucker Punch because it's not an actual punch. It's called Surprise Attack

[@vaporcran4]

they adressed this in the video

[@awesomeocelot7475]

If it’s supposed to make the video not made for kids why censor the F word?

[@isuckatgaming1873]

Because if you have the raw f bomb in there it will affect monetization You are more likely to get demonetized if you aren't censored, but you can still escape the "marked for children" standard by having curse words in reference

[@awesomeocelot7475]

@ that’s so confusing….

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Think of it like this: No F word = Rated E (marked for kids) Censored F word = Rated T Raw F word = Rated M (demonetized)

[@joycelinlgbtq]

Yodelehe yodelehe yodelo?

[@DaSheepKiller]

They should change Illumise’s name to Illumisé so that its official pronunciation makes sense. And while they’re at it, change Feraligatr to Feraligator.

[@Crestfallen_Warrior]

Machamp is called "Machomei" in German. Probably a reference to Macho and Meister(Master).

[@nickdentoom1173]

The low amount of Pokemon that can learn Breaking Swipe (Wide Breaker in Japanese) is surprising me, especially some Pokemon with large tails, while other Pokemon with small tails can use it. For example... Druddigon cannot learn Breaking Swipe at all, while a mon with a smaller tail, Altaria can learn it. The odd thing is that Druddigon however, is able to learn Scale Shot...and talking about Scale Shot... why are Luvdisc/Alomomola for example able to learn it... but Bruxish is not (Even Wishiwashi can learn it).

[@ethanparks7834]

Illumese should get an evolution probably maybe

[@Jvgl_2000]

Both Illumise and Volbeat should get Megas, honestly. Curious to see how that'll turn out (just look at Beedrill, for example, who got a MASSIVE glow up with its mega).

[@Elijah-hz9ls]

​@@Jvgl_2000Mega Volbeat being Bug Fire and Mega Illumise becomming Bug Electric would be pretty cool honestly... The two fireflies of the past and the future!

[@slemtem520]

It'd be cracked, Illumise is actually a crazy pokemon for having prankster and access to Encore, Infestation, and reliable healing. I've made enemies by using her.

[@slyfox7452]

Tail glow is firefly glow in Japanese so it like opposite reasoning as to why diglett can lean sucker punch

[@robertlupa8273]

So why can Xirkutree learn Firefly Light?

[@alexlee4154]

Maybe because the japanese word for spark literallty means fire flower?

[@TJMa21]
