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! - เกม

welcome to the comments! I hope someone gets the idea that the clam elements are pretty loose loose... perhaps a stretch, stretchy like...

stretchy like Wiglett.
It's a Garden eel! That lives and attacks like a razor clam.
Could you do a video on the Megaman Pokemon? I love Armarouge and Ceruledge.
There a clam with a giant penis, which kinda looks like wiglett. Sorry not sorry. It called Geo Duck! And ducks have the little bill thing.
I actually thought it was mainly a razor clam too(until Gamefreak posted on instagram). But it turns out, while not specifically garden eels, Angulas (which are pale baby eels) is a Basque delicacy.
among sus
Public service announcement, mongolian death worms are almost certainly not real (either that or its actually a sand boa or other snake). The way I heard it, Khezu was also based on a creature in a nightmare one of the developers had.
I like to think it's called Wiglett because when it was first discovered, they THOUGHT it was related to Diglett. The classic "we named this thing after that other thing because they reminded us of it." Like the horseshoe crab (not a crab) the electric eel (not an eel) and the Guinea pig (not a pig, not from Guinea)
But it’s gonna say Wiglett is the weird part. This will be a being that, at least in the anime, will only say different combinations of Wigg and Let. Brings up more questions about how Pokémon may classify themselves
@@dafroakie9984 Are you sure? Some Pokemon just make noises, or are silent; this might be one of those.
Fun fact: there was an infamous case of an extinct animal called ‘Megarachne’, which was originally thought to be the largest spider ever to have lived, so was named this. Mega-arachne. Big spider. It turns out it wasn’t a spider, and was actually a group commonly known as sea scorpions (now extinct) which aren’t actually scorpions, and megarachne specifically actually lived in freshwater and was quite small for the group.
So, Megarachne, the massive spider sea scorpion, which is actually none of those things.
They kinda already did this with the Galarian birds. They're actually totally different pokemon from Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. But they were named the same because they looked similar enough.
@@gruiaolaru511 Isn't it the contrary? The dex explains that the characteristic of the regional variants are how they and the main forms got their name...
I think an idea of Convergent Evolution Pokémon is really awesome. I love them taking more realistic approaches to the Pokémon world lately.
it fits pokemon so well
If you think about it convergent evolution might explain all the Pika-clones in all the regions.
@@Actionfan19 potentially but it could also be the case that they all share an ancestor that had the electric cheek pouches
@@Actionfan19 pikazation is þe pokemon equivalent of carcinization
@@Actionfan19 That’s divergent evolution, not convergent
I like the idea that it doesn't follow diglett's evolution and it basically becomes like dreel's final evolution.
Dreel?
Bro what is dreel
It's the water starter pokemon from lockstin's fakemon region Pokemon Legends Neo: Ghetsis
I'm of the opinion that the main reason why it isn't a diglet is because the evolution would be nothing like diglet.
@@aquetzalcoatl4663 dreel is lockstins water starter to his latest project
If wiglett doesnt have some type of fighting move where it uses its "tongue" imma be sad
Dont be sad, cause sad spelled backwards is das and das not good
It has be a substitute-like move
@@bobmarkerson smooth. Real smooth there.
@@bobmarkerson BRO It's been so long since I heard the joke lol
I'm SURPRISED this is the first occurrence of convergent evolution in Pokémon. Convergent evolution-the repeated evolution of similar traits in multiple lineages which all ancestrally lack the trait-is rife in nature. Yet in Pokémon this is the first CONFIRMED instance of convergent evolution. The ultimate cause of convergence is usually a similar evolutionary biome, as similar environments will select for similar traits in any species occupying the same ecological niche, even if those species are only distantly related. So this is not the same as say a regional variant, where Pokémon will gain new abilities and traits and typings in order to adapt to a new environment. And I don't think the pikaclones count, as you can argue they all have a common ancestor.
The Pikaclones, for sure goes right into the Divergent evolution category. Sure they all look similar, but their tactics and how they live are entirely different from one another.
@@sargentgullible2794 As well as the theory with Sharpedo and Garchomp.
What about bouffalant & tauros?
Haven't we technically seen convergent evolution in pokemon? Bug pokemon and bird pokemon have both independently evolved the ability to fly (just like the real world).
I think the voltorb and foongus lines might also count as convergent
I hope they go for a tubeworm influence so we can get a non-mythical fire-water type
Spanish person here, my classmates and I looked at the Wiglett video and immediately thought razor clam (we call them navajas) they are relatively common and when they are covered in water they go halfway up the sand to breathe and so they look like Wiglett
I'm thinking the evolution of Wiglett will have a bit of a Hydreigon-inspired design where it looks like Dugtrio, but two of the "heads" are actually arms with fake eyespots that are adept at slapping foes silly and, with the shellfish and eel based design of Wiglett and Gooey Ability option, could evolve into the Water/Fighting "Slugtrio" to fit the slapping and Gooey aspects (also a bit like a wild wacky inflatable tube man-meets-tube worm).
the final evo's name is wugtrio, tho slugtrio sounds like a cool concept
@@summermermaidstar756 says who?
@@Thunor93 Says Riddler Khu, he outright said it
@@summermermaidstar756 riddler khu never outright says it, either he hints it or he words it in a way for us to assume that's what he meant but is really pulling our tail. He has done it before a few months ago during June and July.
@@Thunor93 He has been more direct lately, he straight up said "Wugtrio it's obvious now"
While Wiglett may be the first "official" example of convergent evolution acknowledged in Pokemon, I've seen people argue that there have been examples of this in past games, like Plusle and Minum or Volbeat and Illumise. Some people say all the Pikachu clones from each gen are examples of convergent evolution. It'll be cool if you did a video diving into this topic (if you haven't done so already).
People keep saying that, but it makes no sense. Plusle and Minun are both obviously the same sort of thing. They share an ancestor, not convergent evolution. Same for the two fireflies.
With Volbeat and Illumise, it could be argued that they’re just gender counterparts of a single species but with enough differences to warrant distinction; much like Nidoking and Nidoqueen’s lines. As for the Pikachu clones, Pachirisu is confirmed to be directly related to Pikachu according to Professor Laventon’s entry in Legends Arceus’ Dex, so it’s safe to say the other ones are related to some degree as well.
The only idea I've seen suggested that I think could be a looser example of convergence is the Electrode and Amoongus families. Despite one being a mushroom and the other being... whatever Voltorb and Electrode are, they've both evolved to resemble pokeballs and likely don't share any common ancestor
Doesn’t the Pokédex say that Toxicroak and Seismitoad have a common ancestor? Not the exact concept, but interesting nonetheless
@@DiSCO_YT that’s divergent evolution. I agree it is cool though that they’re related
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the Gnoggin crew can put out a video on news that dropped literal days ago and still maintain the same level of quality as their larger projects.
Days? You mean hours?
I’m not surprised since I see people make analyses on Pokemon videos within a few hours.
Imagine what it evolve form would look like? It's just gonna be three Wiglett together as one and call Wugtrio.
A bunch of interlocked wigglets that form a very large wigglet.

The only thing I would change about Wiglett is that I would have preferred a less on-the-nose classification than "The Garden Eel Pokémon." However, since Diglett is "The Mole Pokémon" I suppose it had to be a direct classification, in order to parallel Diglett's but also to reinforce the convergent evolution concept. I would have gone with "The Eel Pokémon" myself, however.
4:11 I literally cheered at this, I could only dream of it
Edit: my favorite idea for its evolution being a 3 split evolution as a reference to dugtrio without having that be the boring evo, and it could be affected by where it is when it hits a certain level, in the water would be a tube worm like one, on a beach would be the clam one, and in a cave for khezu
The fake webinar said that Wiglett already live underwater too in addition to the beach.
I love how they're based on garden eels, who basically have a Diglett face already, as well as clams and tube worms. Pokémon that combine multiple similar animals are fun (like Klawf being based on multiple species of crab), but it's even more fun when the source animals are completely unrelated but just look similar (which really drives home the convergent evolution theme)
I've heard some people speculate it might evolve into a hagfish, based on it having Gooey for an ability.
That’ll either be funny or horrifying. Theirs no In between
love this idea
"Long, white and ends in a dark little pink blip"
I have lost my childhood innocence that I can't hear this sentence without thinking of something else...
I LOVE GARDEN EELS!! They are so cool and hilarious
@K P I think it's endearing how it's literally just a little dude. I don't always love pokemon being super detailed, and I definitely do not think this design needed to be realistic or accurate. It's just a guy, a little lad.
I love how Wigglet looks like a gen 1 beta Design.
Reminds me of hooty from the owl house
Oh my god it does 😂
Well now I know what I am naming mine what I catch it lol.
if its shiny is brown you know that’s gonna be a common nickname
@@zeatehkcasualaccount oh most definitely so
HOOOOOOOOT
Paella is commonly a Seafood Dish, however Paella actually refers to the bed of rice the meats are cooked in - there are plenty of non-seafood and even non-animal Paella Recipes.
I don't think Paldea derived its name as a reference to Seafood, however similar in name to Paella.
From a spaniard, the paella doesnt usually have seafood in it, i mean, It can but the most common paella is made with meat like chicken or rabbit , not seafood lmao
Saludos from paldea , i hope this info becomes useful ^^
I love the way you speak. You've always been the best at writing dialog. Your delivery is perfect. The first 10 seconds of all your videos have me hooked, this one is no exception
When I first saw Wiglett, I thought that it immediately reminded me of a lugworm, since it’s very wormlike and lives in the sand near beaches. Yeah, the garden eel is probably a more direct inspiration for it, but lugworms probably played at least a bit part in its creation.
so regional forms are devegent evolution & we got convergent evolution I actually like how pokemon really diving deep into the pokemon's ecology I wonder if we'll see more of this
0:50 the diglett in the background is sus.
0:22 Imposter used Dig
0:07 Oh that Makes so Sense!!!
"A Diglet with Wig!!!"
0:41 seems pretty sus
My prediction is that Wiglet's evo will be completely above ground, and its dex entry will note "It looks nothing like Dugtrio" so the mystery will just get more mysterious.
He lasted the whole video without making phallic joke. He did a lot better than the res of the internet
Honestly, I always liked the idea of Diglett actually being an earthworm instead of a mole.
@K P he meant the original
“Long white and pink tipped and they like moist environments” lol😂
Since you briefly talked about monster hunter in here like the wiggler and khezu, I'd actually like to watch another monster hunter related video specially the ones where you describing the design and references to the monsters, there are a lot of thought capcom went through designing these monsters and it would be amazing seeing you doing this as a mini series if you find there are no ideas for content.
I don't really know if I would say is Wiglett is part clam- the Garden Eel inspiration is very direct and stated. HOWEVER, Angulas is a very very VERY expensive dish from Spain- in fact its the MOST expensive dish from spain- thats.. well.. baby eels. And the eels even look all pale and pink and noodley, too. So that could be where Spain comes into play- just though I'd mention it incase the clam inspiration feels shakey!
Wigglet is a lot like Diglett, but because the info on the website says "sticks a part of its body out of the sand to feed" instead of sticks its head out, I get the feeling its evolution will end up more like Barbaracle than Dugtrio. Maybe even end up looking like a Shuckle with eyes on all of its... things
1:01 love that you've referenced one of my favorite videos on the internets.
0:48 hey the more, the merrier. welcome to the family
at 0:28 seconds in there is amogus
When will Lockstin review the MegaMan armor Pokemon?
I was pretty sure it was based on a lugworm. But the typing and the attacks still can be.
I would love to see wiggle’s evolution which is most definitely getting and would love to use it
there should've been a regional variant of shelder and cloyster
Who said there isn’t?
@@rueblie2627 the leaks
I have been so confused by this thing since it was revealed lol
"Wigglet Wig, Wigglet wig!"
Wigg'r, wigg'r, wigg'r"
I almost choke on my food at 1:01. You got me good on that.
I really think the main idea for this pokemon was just the eels
I was going to use Quaxly but now I’m not sure because each I’m going to use Armarouge/Ceruledge which is a fire type, I want to use Wiglett because Wiglett, and I was going to use Gogoat as a grass type, but I might have to swap to Sprigagito to use Wiglett and Armarouge/Ceruledge.
When I saw wiglett I was like that's just Diglett crossed with a garden eel or a ship worm
I have gold freshwater clams in my fish tank. I see them dig down into the sand all the time and they stick their siphon out the surface. They need a lot of flow so they can filter the substrate and water.
I think he might be hunted by wild Eelektrik and Eelektross
For all we know, its evolution is gonna be Pompaboar
Heh. HEH. HEHEHEHAHA-
So far there are two types of people when it concerns Wiglett: people who love it, and people who are wrong
Given the clam comparison, it would be the opposite of Diglett. While Diglett hides its feet and shows its head, this Pokemon shows its feet and hides its head.
I believe that Wiglett is based more on a Geoduck than a garden eel. I mean they have long white body parts that stick out of ground regions between the land and the ocean. Also, Geoduck can grow to be quite long. It's just a thought.
It literally called the garden eel pokemon lol.
something from a black and white cartoon
The thumbnail makes me thing of Madoka Magica.
Being meduca is suffering
Yes many inspirations for Paldea... including pal like friends and Chaldea, Pal dea, the ties to astronomy, some Sumerian inspiration with those legendaries, just for those that don't know since Lockstin didn't mention it.
What About Armarouge and Ceruledge
They are armour
The evo of this pokemon is really whats gonna make or break it for me personally tbh. If the evo doesn't add something clever then it just feels like a cop-out excuse to make another regional without calling it one. If it wasn't directly called convergence through the trailer then there's nothing distinguishing it, design wise, from a regional. Fingers crossed for more garden eel or clam traits. Or better yet, the wiglett form turns into more of a lure in the evo for prey like an angler fish thats under the sand, which I think would be perfect for this concept! Thats less convergence and more mimicry in terms of niche. Until then though I'm going to withhold my final opinion.
To be completely fair though, this is a design that while looking like it could be a regional form, wouldn't make sense as a regional form. How would a mole-like creature such as Diglett adapt to become a garden eel? What would force a Diglett to live underwater? How could it live underwater? While not every regional form makes real world logical sense, like Alolan Raichu for example, they can all be logically explained by an existing Pokemon adapting to a different situation that makes at least some sense in universe.
You can also add that if you were to make a garden eel pokemon in a vacuum, it would naturally end up sharing Diglett's most defining trait: always having a part of its body underground. Garden eels also have a very simple body type, something Diglett also shares. So if that's the case, it makes all the sense in the world that they lean into that. It can't be easily explained as a regional form due to where it lives, but it does resemble Diglett a lot, so let's make that its gimmick. Even if the evolution resembles Dugtrio, it still works as a solid Pokemon concept instead of a cop-out.
Then you are going to be disappointed.
@@rakdos36 no u
@@theinternetsightseer2935 I cant. im okay with the concept either way. although im more interested in the other things i saw in the leaks.
It's like a mix of a garden eel & ermine. And still cute.
I want to catch one for one of my teams.
I love how they are referencing convergent evolution
Wigglet
Now for the bigger question what is the regional variant for Meowth?
They can't stop making more
It reminds me of a gooey duck a type of clam that buries itself in the sand people put salt around to get it out then cook it
Love all the monster hunter references! Both of my favorite franchises in one!! Totally naming my wigglet khezu!
Anyone else notice the among us? Diglet
Most of the time you’d be correct. This time… not so much. Game Freak 100% confirmed it’s just based on the Garden Eel today and nothing else.
at around 0:50, there is a third, kinda SUS diglett next to the crab
i want buddy buddy snakes now too. sometimes some snakes peek outta a hole/cave like the garden eels do
Just got the notif as i was reading an article on this exact topic-
I have Normal and shiny digglet dugtrio and the alolan formes. Now I need this rn
Garden eels also lives in spain, in the canary islands
I believe it’s more of allopathic speciation rather than convergent evolution. I think specifically it would be an example of a ring species but that would depend on if diglett can interbreed with wigglet. Could be wrong tho that’s just my evolutionary biology mind thinking.
Liking the short videos. It's consumable for my brain!
Never thought I’d ever see “acquire the sire” in a Lockstin vid
I wonder if other Pokémon are convergent evolutions, like maybe the 2 heart fish are closer than we think, and maybe Drampa and Dunsparce are related, who knows.
When I first saw it, I thought it was a Goose Barnacle cuz Wiglett’s neck and head reminded me of the goose from Untitled Goose Game
2:26
No wonder wiglett reminds me of Shimoneta.
I think it's cool to see something similar to the pikaclones but with a different 'mon as inspiration
"Long, white with a pink tip."
Me: *don't laugh dont laugh dont laugh*
Was not expecting a Khezu jumpscare in my family friendly poketuber video
I like how they look like a little periscope on a submarine, that's cool
I wonder if it’s like the bootlace worm, in that it can stretch to extreme lengths from its normal size.
I now just realized that his character avatar is progressively getting more cartoony as time goes on so how cartoony can he get or less detailed
Holy moly you work fast!
Wiglett wig Wiglett wig
Weeo weeo weeo
And thus the song continues 😇
I love it when he wiggle wiggles, for sure!
Pokemon fans for 30+ years: we need to see diglett's lower half
Gamefreak making wiglett: no...no you dont
I always forget clams are more than their shells which is always weird to think about. Their “tongue” is basically their whole body. Regular this would definitely explain a lot. I did find it odd that it wasn’t at least part ground type since it sticks out of the ground
I sent both parts of Lamentu origins and after post origins (After the defeat of Endram-odai). Also here is the final line of the kasade region Lamentu lore. Lamentu and Animaru (An-na-mar-ru) will live in peace with the pokemons and some humans that start a village as the boy as the village chief. The boy can use similar pokemon moves to Lamentu but different.
I think it would be cool if you did a status condition of every type
0:54 is it just me or has anyone else noticed an Amogus in the background
Love the khezu reference. That’s what I thought when I first saw him lol
Don’t think we didn’t notice that Amogus Diglett in the back there
I needed this!
0:29 don’t think I didn’t notice that sus Diglett in the top-left corner
I think it’s worth considering the fact that several species of Garden eel live in the Red Sea of the genus Gorgasia. The Red Sea Is very close to the Mediterranean geographically & In the future, Red Sea inspiration may need to be considered.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought tube worms could be a rational evolution inspiration for Wiglett, though I do wonder if it actually won't have a multi-headed evo, or even just a different number of heads besides 3. Heck, maybe it'll go from Garden Eel to actual Eel (yeah, they actually aren't related, but both can have cute moments).
Unrelated: petition to give Razor Clams the nickname "Mollusk Hotdog"
that thumbnail is a reference to an iconic seen from the 2011 award winning anime Peulla Magi: Madoka Magica
long, white with a pink tip. everything reminds me of him 😭
It is just a Khezu neck. Gah I haven't had paella in over a decade and now I want some.
