This is THE GREATEST Pokemon Design BY FAR! | Gnoggin - Pokemon Sword and Shield

Why is Orbeetle so AWESOME! It may be one of the most inspired Pokemon designs in gen 8, which is saying a LOT! Is it just a ladybug pokemon? or is it something more sinister? Well unless you're a genius I can promise you, that you wont be expecting the whole conclusion!

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

[@Gnoggin]

Oh, and as a heads up for everyone who doesn't follow me on Twitter @lockstin my health is horrible! So if there is a delay in videos in April (we have videos predone until then) then that's why. Doctors are convinced is coronavirus as my symptoms line up perfectly, and I've tested negative for everything they could get me tested for. I am autoimmune, which puts me in a higher risk category despite being young still. But I assume in the end I'll be fine. In the meantime, I hurt a lot. Stay safe out there, and treat this virus seriously. Reports are coming out of it leaving permanent lung damage even in the younger people who wouldn't likely die from it. Best wishes to all of you, and happy self-isolation-month!

Me after watching your pokemon origins videos: Is dragapult orbeetle’s predator? Dragapult is based on a stealth bomber, designed to be undetected by radars Orbeetle: straight up radar. So dragapult could sneak up on orbeetle no problem? Edit 0: dang thanks a lot of likes and comments!!!.

There is one more reference I seem to be getting from Orbeetle. While yes, you seem to have nailed everything you mentioned, the face of the pokemon reminds me a lot of a Gundam. White faced, gold antennae, green eyes and a red bit between the eyes and it's chin which lines up with the mouth plate of a Gundam. And you bet your Rapidash that there's a Gundam out there that this thing resembles. What could be more nerdy than a Gundam Reference? Not sure if there's a connection to Great Britain with Gundam too, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

[@emeraldoqrol1265]

There's a much easier way to make the British connection: Orbeetle is an evil space invader, and the UK is well known for a viciously invasive species of ladybug, the Harlequin ladybug. If you see a ladybug in the UK chances are it is a Harlequin. It's currently in the process of outcompeting local species!

[@christopherbennett5858]

I'm going to be honest with you, I've been researching and obsessing over parasitoid wasps for the last two decades especially mind controlling ones (check bodyguard manipulation) and was hoping that some day we'll get a pokemon inspired by them but dammit I never ever realised Orbeetle was one... You sir are amazing for finding something even a lifelong bug lover couldn't see!

[@spectral5939]

I'm genuinely curious, can I ask why you (along with others that study similar things as you) study Parasitic Wasps for that long? It is some kind of interest or fascination from that part of Nature? Or is it something else?

[@theraginginfernape9496]

@@spectral5939 Some people just have very specific interests that they find cool. I'm definitely intrigued.

[@buggyboy2849]

@@spectral5939 Well parasitoid wasps are just some of the most fascinating animals, for example the wasp that mind controls ladybugs does it by injecting a virus into the ladybug which targets it's brain and makes the beetle's own immune system nuke parts of the brain! Coolest part is that the virus is actually part of the wasp and can only reproduce in a special organ inside it, it is believed that parasitoid wasps assimilated a virus millions of years ago and basically weaponized it! There are also wasps whose larvae develop into soldier castes inside the host to protect the rest of the larvae from other parasites! There are aquatic parasitoid wasps and the smallest known insect is also a parasitoid wasp that is smaller than some single celled organisms, honestly I can go on but you get the idea! :D

[@spectral5939]

@@buggyboy2849 Thanks for sharing. The Wasps that apparently weaponized a virus for their own use and single cell wasps is both creepy but interesting to me how wildly different and varying that species can be. I had no idea that there are other such varying types of wasps out there in such drastically different versions of themselves then the regular ones that I'm use to. I have a big fear of any kind of Wasps and try to avoid them at all costs (no allergy just really don't like them personally). I only ever lived with you average wasp that just makes a nest in your shed during summer. So I am glad that there are people like you who do enjoy learning and studying that sort of stuff and aren't afraid of them, as I could not be able to go into stuff like that personally. And possibly given by your name is it safe to assume you like to learn and study most of the insect kingdom or just this one part?

[@buggyboy2849]

@@spectral5939 Parasitoid wasps actually can't even sting humans! Their stingers are only used to lay eggs, it's in social and hunting wasps that this ovipositor has been modified to be used aggressively or as a last ditch defence!

Fun fact: we also use radar to learn about bird migration. When people used radar technology it sometimes picked up on migrating flocks of birds. We only started learning how bird migration worked until we started using radar. With the help of it ( along with the discovery of a stork that had an African spear impaled through its body. It was still alive too.) we learned that birds traveled to other places to follow summer around the globe.

I know I mentioned this before, but England has a lot of interesting lore. Yes there's Saint George of the Dragon, he's so famous and important he got a whole day dedicated to him in the UK, but there's actually another figure who fought a dragon that I really want you to know about, especially since he and the monster he fought might very well have a surprisingly strong connection to Applin, that figure is a one Lord Jonathan Lampton. John Lampton shows up in the story of the Lampton Worm, which is actually a dragon because the word worm was also used as a derogatory term for dragon. But the tale of the Lampton Worm leans into this bit more than you might think. In the story of the Lampton Worm, which I highly recommend you look into, the story starts with a figure fighting a worm-like dragon and throwing it down a well on what is later revealed to be part of the territory presided over by the Lampton family. The dragon couldn't climb out because it didn't have any wings or legs or claws to make use of and was actually rather small and young. Later it turned the well into its lair, or at least the entrance to it, and started coming out to prey on the people, by this time the patriarch of the family was too old and feeble to do anything about it and his son (John) was away on the crusades. The people of the town being terrorized by the dragon decided to keep themselves safe the best option was to fill a cow up with milk and offer it as a sacrifice to the monster, this helped by them a week or two of time because this plan actually made the monster feel a bit bloated and want to return to its lair to basically sleep it off. When Johnathan returned from the crusades he learned of the plight of his people and went to face the monster, only to find a giant worm-like monster with a dragon's head that kept growing its divided pieces back together every time he cut it. To learn the rest of the story, and how he managed to finally best the creature, go read the story.

And that's why I love your channel Gnoggin, you don't just stop at what's on the surface, you dig deeper.

[@robbiebrown14]

I never really appreciated bug types until gen 5, where Leavanny, Volcarona, Galvantula and Scolipede quickly became some of my favourite pokemon of not just that generation but of all time. In Gen 7 we got Golisopod, Araquanid and Vikavolt who just cemented that appreciation as love for bug types. And now we have Centiskorch, Frosmoth and Orbeetle. Bug has gone from my least favourite type to probaly my 3rd favourite. And Orbeetle is a huge part of that. Not only did I use one on my first play through, but I managed to find a shiny gmax one and I absolutely love it. Such an oddly menacing design.

[@JazzyTiger100]

It's "Larvadar" with an "a" just like radar

Looks just like Larvitar. (Why do zilla dragons metamorphosis too? Shelgon and Pupitar)

[@msmx9088]

i just thought the thin body was in reference to ladybugs’ equally thin legs. the head seems pretty similar to actual ladybugs too, with the weird intenea & all. the wasp connection was real cool tho

[@cmdAHYT]

Aight, couldn't find anyone mentioning it, so here goes: In Denmark, we generally draw a connection between ladybugs and the weather. As in, we have a legend-ish thing about sending ladybugs up to the gods to ask for weather changes.

[@madnessarcade7447]

We have ledyba and ledian never realized how diverse u can get with a ladybug design

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Ledian is a cool hero, just needed one more step. Think we found it by going a new direction. I like to think of Ledian as an underdog hero against the world-ruling mad scientist Orbeetle. It would be a great story, and it'd be one where the bad guy gets to win which is generally rather fun.

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Orbeetle is one of my favourite Pokemon of all time. My Orbeetle (I named her NASA) was such a powerhouse in my Sword playthrough, easily surviving even super-effective attacks. It even carried hard as a Dottler (not as a Blipbug unfortunately).

[@samdlp6510]

You should have uploaded the playthrough

[@somedragonbastard]

Though she eventually died, I had an amazing Orbeetle named Paz in one of my Shield nuzlockes. She took so much and dealt a ton back.

Brought with me the little guy from start to finish and was so surprised when it evolved into Orbeetle. Didn't understand it first, but all of this makes me wanna use on on a team.

Man, Orbeetle has been my favorite since I started playing this game; I really love Blipbug and Dottler too, they're so awesome. I'm beyond elated to have learned more about my favorite pokemon too!

[@spitfireace3542]

Coming from a New Zealander I have found quite a few ladybugs everywhere especially steel blue ladybugs.

Probably cause it’s based on the hopkinsville goblin

[@nickopadalhin5419]

Me too! The first time I saw this Pokemon I was like WHOA! Pokemon still got it! If I could add something to your theory, I think you missed a tiny detail. Ladybugs are capable of migrating and even hibernation so I think they really have keen sense of their surroundings even "radar-like" capabilities. Anyway, it's just me using my gnoggin 😅

[@jiado6893]

I think the two legs look like those prong tools that people would balance over paper maps to measure distance. I can't figure out the name though... The eyebrows also look like those, or maybe protractors.

[@sbryder]

I can't say how much I love it. Took it all the way through post game and has an awesome gmax form. I didn't spoil myself so its final evo was an exciting surprise.

[@WolfLandmaster]

When I first played Sword, I wanted to use Sizzlipede as my Bug Pokemon. I caught Blipbug in the foggy forest just as a means of wanting to fill my pokedex. But because the whole party gains experience at the same time, it evolved into Dottler and I saw that it was part Psychc and I wanted to keep it cause of its unique typing. So I had Orbeetle on my first complete team and then used Sizzlipede/Centiskorch on a second playthrough. Orbeetle's awesome. A lot of gen 8 Pokemon are.

[@samdlp6510]

Tim must protect the eggs

[@Syiepherze]

Apparently there are ladybugs in New Zealand, such Coccinella leonina ("Orange-spotted ladybird", native), C. undecimpunctata ("Eleven-spotted ladybird", introduced) and more recently Harmonia axyridis ("Harlequin ladybird", invasive).

[@samdlp6510]

What language is that?

[@mark_lgaming6565]

Also, ladybugs have an ability to predict weather in the future that scientists still don’t understand. That might be another reason it’s the psychic type and it has to do with radomes/radar as well.
