No wonder Farfetch was nearly hunted to near extinction.
Imagine if ducks just walked around with their own side ingredients. The dude is like _"I tastes best with some green onion."_
My duck drowned
Just like "a duck comes along carrying a leek"
xD
farfetch'd is literally just a bird with an onion.
That IS the very-idea behind Farfetch’s design! “Duck carrying an onion” is a Japanese saying for a fool/sucker looking to die. Farfetch was always meant to be pathetic
Honestly I feel like slowpoke tail would be a fantastic food source. We know from pokedex entries that their tails don't feel any pain, sometimes fall off naturally, and even grow back in. Not to mention that they are described as sweet tasting
pokemon is messed up
This is EXACTLY WHY PEOPLE DON’T DESERVE ME!!!
Oh god
Mmm Slowpoke
*stares at the slowpoke I caught in Pokémon G0* hmmm…
Like my fifth grade teacher said: Everything’s edible if you’re brave enough!
Even you 😈
@@kingnative like I said. *Everything.*
Mine said "There´s nothing you can´t eat. At least once."
@@AteliusMappingwhat about the sun
The question is, what's edible more than *once?*
Several years later, and we got Palworld that makes eating the mons a core part of the gameplay.
There's one catch to that poultry answer, though: Owls are carnivorous, feeding on small mammals. That not only makes them more expensive to raise but also more difficult to eat. When measuring caloric efficiency for carnivores, you have to factor in the caloric efficiency of their prey, too. Furthermore, carnivore meat isn't as easy to digest as herbivore meat.
There are chicken Pokémon like blaziken

yeah. even though hoothoot is 21 kg, i doubt it is going to be as nutritious as other pokemons. but then again we are not sure if hoothoot is a carnivore or a herbivore
Yeb that's what I was thinking about too
they eat berry
Matpat "We might all end up eating Nurse Joy"
Brock : "Yes"
And let's not forget that Brock is a pokemon breeder...
@@challengegravity a *ROCK.HARD.* Pokémon breeder
😏
He already does
😃😏
Evolution would probably actually be a good choice for farmers, since Pokémon can level up by eating rare candy, it's description in more recent entries just says that it's "packed with energy", probably meaning it's packed with nutrients, you can assume that they level up if they gain enough nutrients by just eating simple food, meaning, they also evolve just by eating, they just probably grow faster by fighting and that's why Pokémon trainers fight with them instead of feeding them all day.
I think Pokémons are just like ducks. They can be your friend, you can use them for battles (but this one is still weird for ducks-), they can be your meal or the source of your meal.
MatPat: “Most people’s diets have very little crab and shellfish”
Me, a Marylander, living in a state where everything is crab flavored and there are huge signs saying nothing but CRAB: “huh?”
@S O N I A Rosé I agree
@S O N I A Rosé no thanks
And that's why the average amount consumed is so high. Maryland and Maine are spiking the numbers.
Bruh, how squid girls taste like?

I bet its on purpose to get comments lol
Not to mention the legendary mega metagross I mean sure it's a pseudo legendary but still
I have the exact same comment lmao
Palworld must have loved this video
I am just going to delete that Miltank pissing milk image from my memory.
Can I just say that milktank milk is a common item in the games, that implies that milktanks ARE commonly used to get milk
Yeah milktank probably are the best producers, but he can't test the milk production efficiency. He can only go off Pokedex entries and stats. Since their isn't a daily dairy production stat he can't theorize the economics with it.
He also only considered time to grow, but forgot another important stat - productive lifetime. Diary pokemon does not need to be fast growing, if you only need to do it once.
I love how Matt presents false info as facts.
Blatantly wrong, as he so often is, but he speaks confident, so it’s fine.
Doesnt matter that his opening-speech is dumb and ignores
that it was ACTUALLY like this:
For 7 Generations, it was always either ambigious or presented as ‚Only the Weirdos or Baddies do it’ and only Generation 8 AKA the Trash-Generation started
saying ‚Ah, yes, it’s true, Pokenon are eaten all the time by normal people’.
Gen 8 changed s-it and Matt does not understand most of the Franchises he talks about.
@@loturzelrestaurant Because ambiguity kept it family friendly. Implications from the lore are... unsettling for many people.

MatPat: "...or to be more accurate..."
My brain: "...or to be more eggurate..."
2 years later and palworld took you literally
Flaw in logic: total weight does not inherently equate to how much meat one would yield. It’s very possible that the bulk of mudbray’s weight is made up of inedible components, like hooves or bones. Dense bones would be a necessity to support all that weight. That’s not even considering the caloric intake that heavy Pokémon might require too.
or what type of feed they might need.
hoot hoot likely like owls eat mainly meat like rodents
Most of Mudsdales weight is made from the hardened mud on it's legs which I'm pretty sure you couldn't eat.
Fair
@@qazdeathobisada Rodents r pretty cheap right? Like aren't there literally gangs of rattata and such stealing people's food by breaking in?

This episode hits different after PalWorld came out
i love that you answer all the questions we dont need answers to. its utterly silly and i love watching
Point to note, however: There ARE non-Pokémon animal species that exist in the Pokémon world. We’ve seen schools of fish in aquariums that aren’t Pokémon and Ash has even chowed down on some shrimp that were clearly not Clauncher/Clawitzer.
Still…this was a fun and very informative vid.
Also, in the kitchen of the SS Anne, there is litterally a cook that says he's preparing beef
I think that's just some errors in the anime, well, not errors, but design choices.
The anime is not really that consistent
@Vivien Joly
Did he say where he got that beef?
YB BETTER + RATIOOOO … anyways I love this channel but i also watch Seven Hunnid on TH-cam alot cuhh
Thought the same myself, but then realized we see fewer and fewer of these 'normal' animals as the series has progressed. Presumably they were there as a kind of filler for animators and directors who felt weird not having those critters around.
The issue with Mudsdale and Mudbray is that they're covered in thick layers of dried mud. Their weight isn't so much meat, but mud and dirt.
Wait you don’t eat mud!?
My thoughts exactly while dirt is edible thats not what I'm ordering medium rare at a restaurant...
I was thinking the same thing. Even if it was weight in meat it would probably be hard to eat. That weight on a relatively small animal would have such thick and dense meat. I can't imagine the texture.
@@gigithehedgehog8469 like rocks or ya know ground...
Just extra seasoning
Palworld really took this video seriously
You beat me to it >l
This video aged in a way Matpat didn't expect 😅
Something else that makes this interesting is that some pokemon offer natural byproducts such as Slowpoke's tails fall off and they don't even feel pain if the tail is removed and they just grow back, or some grass type pokemon naturally produce their own vegetables or fruit that can be harvested without harm to the pokemon.

We call him the crazy diet coke guy😂😂
Why is the beginning so gruesome yet comedic? AND WHY DO I LOVE IT?!
This hits different now.
I feel like another thing that should of been considered is the Pokemon's power and intelligence. Raising a Mudsdale for meat might not be the best idea when one of them could just earthquake the entire farm to the ground.
That's why you have a pokemon on standby ready to put it to sleep in some way.
A bot copied your comment and got 4x the amount
@@darthjc4 What I was thinking too. Or something to that effect. Like, if you live in the Pokemon universe, and farm pokemon, you're gonna find a work-around. Thing is, pokemon are clever. so farming them for their meat means breeding them to be stupid, calmer, or weaker in power lvl too. We've seen this irl - for instance, with the difference between wild untamed horses and farm-born/raised ones.
Yeah and add to the fact that elemental Pokemon probably don't taste nearly as good as normal types. Part of the reason Mudsdale is so heavy is because the Pokemon is infused with earth, and the meat is probably really rough and dense like bear meat...
True. You should eat those magikarp though. Those things are just dumb.
"We could all end up eating nurse Joy"
Brock has entered the room.

I was worried that nobody would make a joke about eating nurse Joy

"pokemon farming simulator" YES PLEASE. I have wanted to be a pokemon berry farmer literally since I ever played my first game with pokemon pearl. Make it happen. I beg you. Let me be one of those people with their house along one of the routes where trainers come by to rest like it's a pokemon center, I'm here for it.
Same here , they need to make it happen. That would be the coolest addition to the games they could make
I have never played pokemon before but I'm ahuge fan of farming game so YEEEESSSS
The intro was too dark for me to watch it
A Pokémon Centre simulator where you heal Pokémon would be cute too 🥺
m.th-cam.com/video/mZilw16J38s/w-d-xo.html
I feel like there are a few things that weren't considered here. For one, in the milk production Miltank is still going to be the best option. Alpha/Omega pokedex states that it can produce over 5 gallons a day. While not more than a regular dairy cow, they are much smaller at roughly 1/10 the weight.
As for eating meat, the weight doesn't equal a greater food source. For that to be true the muscle mass would scale as well, showing a larger and heavier pokemon. Mudsdale and mudbray are heavy sure, but we don't know if that's muscle, bone, or most likely straight up mud and rocks. Mudsdale and mudbray eat dirt for sustenance as well, meaning that breeding and farming them would be almost impossible, as dirt (unlike grass) doesn't just grow. Even if they are made of meat, they make it from dirt, meaning it would constantly dig out whatever land you had until it was just dead rocks. Not saying there aren't applications to this, just that in terms of food, it seems unlikely. (Also it'd probably taste rank and be incredibly tough)
And a dirt based diet probably won’t make for tasty meat.
wow.......
exactly thats what i was saying sorry i didn't read your comment first before reading others but i completely agree that matpat missed alot pokemon cuz he only looked at the animal then the genetic code of that pokemon
Also Miltank is a 100% female Pokémon compared to Skiddo which is 50/50 and therefore you need to hatch 2 Skiddo for each milkable Miltank.
this post needs to be higher
So are we forgetting the fact that most of the pokemon listed are region exclusives? Meaning they'd only be eaten in that region, so no, Mudsdale would be eaten in either Kanto or Johto, because there are NO Mudsdale in those regions, same goes for Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, etc. Same goes for the real world as you LITERALLY SAID IN YOUR OWN VIDEO
holy cow are you the secret matpat?
Torchick nuggets 💀
Another thing he didn't take into account:
If you're not going to evolve your pokemon because leveling up your pokemon is inefficient... Why does growth rate matter? Growth rate is literally just the dictator of how fast a pokemon levels up.
Just ship it across regions bro
In each region of the native mons, very few hunting licenses are given to very humane Hunter/Trainers that are preferably of the indigenous people to the area, as they would more skillfully harness the whole animal.
Fun fact : Pansage literally give it's hair which is plant that is rooted on it's head, not dead like hair, but living plant that can photosynthesis like another living plant to pokemon that sick or get hurt in anime, and some grass type sometimes give you their ripe leaves for tea and herb
I love matpat collabing with himself on POKÉMON especially, since that’s how I played every generation as a kid. Why have friends if you can just have a link cable , two games and two gameboys?!
So you can play games with your friends?
(I know it’s an joke)

@@burgerking7862 we didn't miss it don't worry lol
lmao yeah
Do to owls being carnivores they would cost more to raise. The best "bird" Pokémon would be Pysduck same exp. rate and only 3 pounds lighter. While duck are omnivores making feeding cheaper.
Psy?
Yeah, but then there is the difficulty in raising Psyduck on a large scale. You'd have to make sure none of them ever get a headache which means you'd either need to be pumping them full of chemicals or not factory farming them.
You'd need to invest in a proper environment for ducks though, and they poop like crazy. Not to mention what everyone else said regarding treating their headaches (or controlling them given their psychic nature). I'm not sure the cost of maintenance would be worth it?
i think spearow is the best joice. it cannot fly really well like psyduck and also dont nukes your farm on a headache
What about pidgey?
Both of them grow food on them (Banana-like fruits and Apple Pie-like crust respectively), and they will happily share with you as long as you take care of them, love them, and feed them.
7:30 u could also hatch ur pokemon go pokemons while in a car. So they could build a egg hatching conveyor belt
Honestly, Vegetarians would have it easy. All you need to do is grow berries and vegetables, and if you want to have some Pokémon by your side, then raise a Tropius and a Appletun. Both of them grow food on them (Banana-like fruits and Apple Pie-like crust respectively), and they will happily share with you as long as you take care of them, love them, and feed them.
but if it comes for an animal is it still vegatarian
isn't that same as byproduct animal
@@AwesomeTurtle-et1dm you're mistaking with vegan, vegetarians can eat animal byproducts
@@arwanbjork1951 vegetarians can eat animal byproducts

As yes. Vegan Pokémon. The only time where being “vegan” is an act of prejudice against a specific group of animal, and not a way to protect them.
Brilliant.
.........no no..... you’ve got a point.
I can just imagine a bunch of Pokémon trainers acting like vampires breaking into the Pokémon center and trying to eat nurse joy with Brock being the only one protecting her nurse joy your secret is out
Regional bird: 👎🙅♀️🚫
Pidgey clones: 👍👏🙌
MatPat: "Eat Nurse Joy"
Brock: "Yeah sure"
YOOOOOO THATS SO SUS
he is basicly is saying that
I would for sure
A lot of these Pokemon are region specific though, a person from Johto or Kanto, probably wouldn't be eating Mudbray. If we're talking in terms of efficiency, we need to think of regional/domestic availability as well. Which for both Kanto and Johto would be Magikarp, due to how abundant it is in those regions. For other regions it'd be something else, but again we can't ignore regional availability.
Magikarp are notorious for having next to no meat, though. They're almost all bone inside.
Goldeen on the other hand is just as plentiful across both those regions. Although they are quite small.
Fair point.
I remember an episode of the anime where meowth tried to eat one while stranded in the ocean and just broke his teeth
Depends. Does pokemon take place in 400 BC or the 21st century? Just like today, the city can eat just about anything thanks to shipping companies. I can eat Japanese delights in NYC just fine. No reason why someone from Johto or Kanto can't eat Mudbray when we see in Pokemon Emerald that shipping companies do exist.

The problem I have with this is that he didn’t consider the size aspect, sure mudsdale may weigh more but that only means denser meat, not more meat. Additionally what if mudsdale’s weight comes from its mane or bone? I don’t think anyone’s gonna eat those
The weight comes from the thick mud around thier legs. Yeah I also dont like that pick

Denser meat = more filling meal

I think Shuckle's Berry juice could be farmed, no need to slaughtere. And Foie gras would easily be illigal in their universe. It is a far more compassionate one than our own.
When you chose Hoothoot you forgot the obvious problem of "predators are never economic sources of meat." It's a Great Horned Owl, Mattpat. It's not just a predator but an apex.
I mean when almost everyone owns their own predators it's not that much of a setback
@@justbored730 aren’t animals that eat meat bad tasting? I’ve done no research on this at all. I just am remembering that Mista in Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure said that meat eating animals tasted bad, so no one eats them.
@@Leg1503 lmao!!!
@@Leg1503 Actually yes. I do remember it has something to do with the way they use their muscle
@@justbored730 It is, because it's that caloric efficiency problem all over again. How many rattata does that hoothoot need to eat? what's the caloric efficiency? okay and now how much grain or whatever do the rattata need? what's THAT caloric efficiency? Now multiply those percentages. Hoothoot is getting a percentage of a percentage of what was in the grain. Horrible. Completely unsustainable. There's a reason out of all the things we ever bred dogs for we never once bred them for the meat. Predator farming is, and ever will be, completely untenable for anything but creating niche luxury goods like alligator purses, where the meat is just a byproduct and still expensive.
Considering that the world of Pokémon is heavily influenced by Japan’s real life culture and geography, I wonder why didn’t matpat look into the fishing industry as well. Maybe in a part 2? 🤔
Probably magicarp since he said they hatch the fastest
@@skysthelimitvideos I suspect he'd disqualify Magikarp because of the anime stating it's basically just skin and bones, and thus pretty much inedible. (Incidentally one of the very, very few times where they outright stated considering eating a Pokemon in the anime.)

Taste is also important to what people eat and how well food sells. If these Pokemon with mud in the name actually taste like mud, they probably won't be used much.
Mattpat: steaks don't grow on trees you know.

matpat: “like tyranitar, dragonite and garchomp”

i’m onto your lie, buddy
I saw gabite and immediately went to the comments
"ANd GarChOMP"
I was about to say this
To be fair, they look similar and MatPat is a busy man now that he has a child.
I take it as an honest mistake. Specially considering MatPat didn't know that female Pikachu has a heart-shaped tail and thought that it was a design error. Still, Cynthia would be offended. Garchomp too.
The only problem I have with this video (aside from when MatPat said Garchomp and Gabite showed up on screen) is that he didn't read up on Mudbray's and Mudsdale's diet from their Pokedex entries, which mainly state that they get their nutrients from mud. The problem with this is that animals that eat mud and dirt exclusively have very poor meat, for example mudcatfish, they bottom feed off of muddy ground underwater and end up with poor tasting meat since their nutrients come from the mud. Having something with very poor tasting meat quality as your main source of red meat isn't very appealing, so alternatives would definitely be chosen for that food role.
All you do is detoxify the meat catfish even 70 lbs isn't that hard to do just water a troft and time. I use milk to de game certain wild game and Turkey kept in a salt water mix with seasoning for 3 days makes the best Turkey possible for very little work.
There are methods to making the meat more palletteable if that region has limited options then folks would likely use them
Cows are delicious and all they eat is grass

Miltank is already fully grown, it literally comes out of its egg at its last evolution. For example Kangaskhan hatches out of its egg with a baby in its pouch. The Pokémon world just doesn’t make any sense.
Wait what!
And then what happened with baby Kangaskhan? Does it evolve into a Kangaskhan? Is this an unannounced evolution? Cubebone.
Safe to say they didn’t think everything through. We have Kangaskhan with its baby in a pouch, Cubone that apparently gets its skull from its dead parent. Breeding as an in game mechanic wasn’t introduced until Gen II, so yeah, they didn’t consider that when designing Gen I Pokémon. The closest we get is Kangaskhan’s baby coming out of its pouch for Mega Evolution and let me tell you, that Mega Kangaskhan and its baby are a freaking BEAST

No? Miltank doesn't evolve. It's just a singular pokemon.

Fun fact: Pokémon has chickens, in “Let’s Go Eevee!” You make curry’s, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s chicken.
As far as eating Mudbray and Mudsdale go, it probably wouldn’t taste great. Not only are they working Pokémon, so their meat would probably be tough, but their diet also consists mostly of dirt. Also worth noting that the (inedible) mud that coats their bodies is probably factored into their weight.
And also I'm sure everyone is not someone who swallows their meat whole without checking there are bones for pokemon

You should watch Backseat's video on animal crossing characters.
That beginning just added more evidence to my theory that Mattpat is a SCP.
One thing to consider is that Medium Slow groups actually level up faster in the beginning than Medium Fast groups. I believe up until level 50 or so. So in my opinion you have the bird groups backwards. Though none of the Pidgey Clones look very tasty 🤣
Matpat- "We won't be considering evolutions"
Matpat not even two seconds later: "let's look at skidoo, and its evolution...."
evolition isn't worth it for meat but could be for milk production.
Honestly, farmers WOULD evolve some of their stock, to act as breeders. If the same stat stuff applies when trainers do it, you can bet your bottom dollar that those farmers would IV and EV train their livestock to be HP tanks.

But MatPat...
What about all the arthropod based food sources? Bug types in pokemon are quite viable and often quite large as well, in addition to having both mechanically and lore-based faster growth rates than almost all equivalent strength and sized pokemon.
And bugs irl are an excellent source of protein by weight, making them potentially extremely efficient. Eat heracross!
Im pretty sure Magikarp is hands down the best option for food though, given the lore surrounding from both the anime and pokedex entries.
@@snickers2210 The season one episode of the anime titled "Pokemon: Shipwrecked" states that Magikarp is actually not a viable food source as Misty states "Magikarp is just scales and bones"
"what is the tastiest pokemon"
me : well I saw your game theory vid so..NURSE JOY!!!
Owls are carnivores, making hoothoot rather inefficient
There was an episode that showed an island full of "Pudgy Pidgey", being 3x larger than your average Pidgey at a weight of 12 lbs, with the loss in their ability to fly due the lack of predators. If selective breeding & genetic modification was possible in pokemon, we'd exclusively raise the Pudgy Pidgey as a broiler chicken, having the same hatch rate as Hoothoot, with a medium slow growth rate with only a diet of grains & maybe a few Caterpie. Then there's the daunting thought of "Pudgy Pidgeotto", being a whopping 132.2-198.3 lbs, depending on a 2-3x growth rate, while your average Noctowl would only be 89.9 lbs, only having to maybe add Magikarp to the existing diet. In a way Kanto Fried Pidgey would exist.😆
So pudgy pidgeys are the dodos of the Pokémon world
im pretty sure genetic modification is possible there
@@davidjamesmagtibay6065 it's on episode 211 "Fly Me to the Moon" revolving around one normal Pidgey named Orville, with the dream flying to the moon, while the Pudgy Pidgey just do their own thing, eating & being lazy due the lack of predators & whirlpools surrounding the island.
Except, i believe Magikarp would be the worst option as fish pokemon as they are often described as not having very much meat and even very difficult to cut due to it's scales.
“Eating Nurse Joy”
I see MatPat is a man of culture
I mean that's what Brock wants to do, if u know what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean
Think everyone does
only cannibals in this part of the commentsection
@@shortcircuit9388 true
But other than the effectiveness, you must also calculate their edibleness, are they hard to eat, or are they soft enough to chew, are they taste good, or taste like dirt, are they burnable, or they can't be cooked no matter what, etc
Hoot hoot have psychic power before even reach evolution stage, and maybe the reason theyre so heavy is their bones, maybe not so much meat, even if not, remember theyre owl with thick feather, maybe they're just a sack of feather without so much meat and mudsdale/mudbray ground type, and they have ground energy not just live in it, maybe they taste like dirt, or even nonedible
Matpat: pydgey clones
Everyone else: regional birds
I think this theory could be added on if you wanted to determine what each region's local diet would consist of (since each region has its own semi-unique variety of locally available pokemon).
Eggzegutor heads in Alola region
Considering how skidoo’s milk is only readily available in Kalos it makes more sense why more regions use Miltank instead, it’s more common in other regions. A good look at this if from Alola. Skidoo can’t be found in the wild and would have to be transferred from a different region which would be far more costly and too high of a risk since the people of this region are more likely to buy product which they are familiar with. Same with the Galar region, Skiddo can’t be found naturally. (they also can’t traded over but we will ignore that for now.) but you know what can be found naturally right on the isle of armor? Miltank, but the isle of armor is a more secluded place, only people with an armor pass can enter. So the our question boils back to our beginning statement.

I would add onto this that since the first four regions are based in Japan, which is big on fish in comparison to red meat. So he probably could have looked into what water/fish Pokemon would be considered in a typical Japanese diet.
"The only things that outclass it in weight are legendaries"
*Shows picture of Celesteela and Metagross*
Aren't Celesteela and the ultra beasts legendaries?
@@megameme29 metagross isn't an UB
@@lucasdupke9746 I know that but I said only Celesteela. Basically what I meant is aren't ultrabeasts legendaries?
Rare pokemom like Dragonite tyranitar and garchomp
Shows Gabite
Well, Celesteela does weigh 2,204 pounds, and Eternamax Eternatus might weigh even more (we'll have to wait for an actual entry though since Sword / Shields entry doesn't list it's weight, but regular Eternatus does come close at 2,094 pounds)
"Apparently Barraskewda’s flesh is surprisingly tasty, too." Lol🤣
Thank you matpat! Now i want to eat magikarp for dinner
bro is living the live
Good luck... Magikarp is incredible😅
"We could all end up eating Nurse Joy" don't threaten me with a good time
Hahaha
Theres a lot of nurse joys

Matthew: Eat your pokemon!
Also Matthew: Nurse Joy is a pokemon!
I see where you're going with this...
@@samilahhoahoe5125 ok
YES. Eat your very own nurse joy.
Welcome to the world of pokemon.
Oh I'm sure plenty of people would be into eating Nurse Joy

Wailord would float like a balloon according to the math
It is known as the Float Whale pokemon for a reason.
In the Stadium games, it even floats in the sky while fighting.
Hi verified
Yea cause its less dense than air

Its partially based on a blimp
Matpat: says that that's why we eat chickens and not ostriches
Aussies: want an emu
I don't eat cereal.
But I'd certainly eat Theory O's.
Now you’re making me wonder if Blaziken tastes like fried chicken
go away
Is it spicy?
Yum. Probably like spicy chicken wings - you don't even have to add seasoning to taste like that. Tasty
Blaziken is a fighting chicken which would have little good meat
Possibly tastes like extra spicy KFC chicken
