Why is it a bug type? It's a mold Pokemon. Mold isn't a bug. What next? A winged monkey you call dragon type? Not to mention, design-wise it looks more like a turtle. What the heck, Gamefreak?🐢🐒
@@zimmygirl777 Or it could he a weird snail thingy... which also aren't insects, but hey, if a Shelmet, a snail can be Bug-type, why not Shuckle.
fun fact, at one point people did call lobsters bugs, and the rich wouldn't eat them, so the poor did. they were thought as the cockroach of the sea.
I imagine its called a Lobster because people "lob" the things out to sea? my guess anyway.
@@tycko4 no it's called a lobster cause rich people lobbied to get it the hell away from them as quickly as possible right now peasant!
Well shrimps are also members of the cockroach family

@@polarpuggaming3172 Aaaaah! Not the bees!😺👻
I'm always amused by "arachnids" in Pokemon cause they never have eight legs.
Yeah true
I mean when you think about it any animal terminology we use doesn't ever apply in pokemon since they don't actually have arachnids in their worlds. If you think about it all the titles for pokemon don't really make sense. Like pokemon being classified by the pokedex as bagworm pokemon since... well there is no such thing as a bagworm in the pokemon universe. Same for arachnids, technically the term doesn't exist in that world, hence why they can take the liberty of making them look different from our world's arachnids.
@@greenxmango8049 When have you seen those??? If it's in the anime, well there were instances of monsters from the Mana series in there so that's not accurate XD
Monsters of ethieria and loomian legacy: 😐
At least they get the octopi right
I think it's pronounced "ARTH-ro-pod" not "ANTH-ro-pod." 'cause the defining characteristic is having jointed legs. "Anthropod" would be... like, a human-legged creature. Which brings some GREAT images to mind, let me say.
8:29 that explains why Yanma needs Ancientpower to evolve.
Venopede is a roly poly. Pill millipedes. I call them roly polies. Venopede and Whirlipede are based off roly poly bugs.😺👻
zimmygirl777 but they are specifically -pedes, so why wouldn’t you use the incredibly similar -pede?
@@Edgeperor When I was younger, I called them rolly poly bugs.😺👻
Imagine mega scolipede being based on arthrpourtha or however you say it
Then again that thing was more of a giant car sized megapede that was a plant eater and more of a I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND when it's on it's hind legs

As a zoologist, who specializes in bugs, let me tell you that real life taxonomy is just as much of a headache ;)
Caridad Chang entomologist?
No, that's the study of Ents.
I'll just show myself out...
I read that as taxidermy and got really confused.
more or less, I need to further specialize for that but most of my electives were on invertebrates
OMG Don't remind me of that time...
I was studying Biology because of plants! not bugs! why do i have to go out catch a bunch of them and classify all of them???????
"Those large fuzzy spiders that weirdos keep as pets"
Just call me out why dont you
Aww, lucky. My folks won't let me keep a tarantula as a pet. So I'm stuck with wild spiders as pets.
Metroid4ever I'm 25 so my parents don't live with me. There are so many misconceptions about tarantulas being deadly, vicious creatures and it's really sad. My Jinx (and rose hair) and Cordelia (p.metallica) are super docile and very fascinating. Jinx gives highfives! I hope you get a chance to spend time with a tarantula xo
Cadaver Cutie Whenever I think of trantulas I go bavk to Song Drop's "Tarantula song" super catchy ;)
Tarantulas are the least scary spiders, sure, they are big, (not all the time but whatever) but i prefer having a bigass spider that i can easily bag and put outside than a sneaky scary ass spider that I can't see for the life of me
Cadaver Cutie I'm afraid of all spiders but what scares me the most about a pet Tarantula would be it's fragility.

I personally think that the Bug-type represents the "Arthropod-type" the same way how there used to be a Bird-type that they then renamed because things fly other than birds. There are things that are Bug-like that aren't just insects: like spiders, isopods, and hermit crabs. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we get a Bug-type Horseshoe Crab or Sea Monkey. This also explains Shuckle because if Shuckle is based on a Crustacean (a Barnacle) it would be in line with the other crustacean bug types.
“Bugs” are an actual type of insect too, eg: assassin bug, kissing bug, stink bug. Since the name has been kinda washed out, we call them “true bugs” now. Think of it as calling a bee a butterfly when people say “that fly is a bug”, when that is not the case lol.
Horseshoe crab and barnacle pokemon already exist as Binacle and Kabuto.
"Next up: Arachnids"
But... Scorpions are arachnids...
Exactly.
it's an easy mistake to make...
I know I just find validation in pointing out mistakes and providing facts that ultimately won't benefit me or anyone else in the near future.
@@adwitatherealadwita same..
And crabs are very closely related to arachnids , but scorpions are more related to crabs than spiders. WTF gnoggin
From what I remember when looking up Genesect and the movie;
Genesect was a Genesect. It's just that modern day people modified it with technology so it can survive in modern times. So presumably, it's original form would look similar to it's current form. Just without looking like tech.
1:35 Imagine all the horses become bugs: there is the result
Since Shuckle is classified as the mold Pokemon, and mold is a fungus, which is normally grass type, we should ask for a regional variant of Shuckle that's Grass/Rock, has more algae on it, etc. Then it makes more sense.
He’s a bug, he’s a bug, you’re a bug
IM A BUG
Are there any more bugs I should now about
Shuckle: hi
Im out of here
That's a spongebob reference. Right?

Me: no
Shuckle always reminded me of maggots in a fruit, maybe that's part of the concept.
That, combined with the gooey insides-turned-outside when you squish a bug...
Bulbapedia states it may be based off of endoliths, tiny organisms that feed off of minerals in rocks.
That would explain the berry juice...
Worm apple.😺👻
You ruined chuckle for me. 😡
Ironic how BEEdril is actually a Wasp and VESPIquen (vespi means wasp) is a bee queen.
Ikr XD.
we do not have this problem with the french version
vote for renaming to Vespidrill and... Beequen? lol
I also find it odd how most combee are male, yet only female bees leave the hive
11:42 Actually scorpions are arachnids so it is not clearly a bug but I under stand that arachnids are bug type in pokemon
It’s a kids game, i don’t think “arthropod type” would be understood very well
It Would For Japanese Kids.
@@JT5555 why
@@JT5555 Racist.
What did u say about pokeman?
@@nitrosherbert888 why
Pheromosa is based on a cockroach I guess since its/her name in the French version is "Cancrelove" from "Cancrelat" (cockroach) and "Love"
Even the Japanese and German names refer to cockroach
Moreover, Pheromosa is really fast... Just like a cockroach
No, she's clearly a cabinet what even is a bug she's a very pretty cabinet
Lady Tyltea She's a cockroach. People won't admit it because they hate the fact they fapped to an antropomorphic cockroach.
Wait, cockroaches are fast?
I'll admit, I live in more northern Canada so I've never seen one in real life, but I've seen pictures and they don't look very agile.
Nice profile pic
That sounds absolutely terrifying.
how could you miss the origin of Durant, that bug is amazing, is it based of an ant AND the Ironclad beetle, whose exoesqueleton is extreamly tough,, harder than some metals as enthomologists can't run a pin, like they normaly do to study bug's anatomy, through them without the aid of a drill
W o a h that's badass
hm neat
I never heard of that
Read this while watching him explain durant
Carlos Emilio Avila Olivera too bad poor Durant developed the steel type to protect it from a fire type predator
Well, I thought Pheromosa was a Silverfish
Fun fact, my two favorite pokemon happen to be bug type; Scolipede and Genesect. I love how Genesect's special move can change depending on what drive you give it, and I really like Scolipede cuz its moveset really appeals to me, along with its stat totals
Its interesting, I hate bugs in real life, but my favorite type is bug type. Most of them have cute designs or just are interesting or underrated! Thanks for the video! Can't wait to see what you say about my favorite, Leavanny!
Edit: That giant cenetipde grossed me out so much 😂
Nintendoge accelgor is also underrated. It’s super fast and gets spikes, toxic spikes, encore, and final gambit.
Same here. I really only like butterflies and moths, but Pokémon makes so many of the bug types so lovable! I'm terribly arachnophobic, but Galvantula is just so cute and fuzzy that I can't help but love it!
That centipede is the definition of nightmare.
The one that got me was seeing someone let a giant hornet crawl on their finger. There's brave and then there's stupid.
yeah...that centipede will keep me awake tonight...the only bugs I really, REALLY can't stand
pillbugs arent bugs, theyre crustaceans that decided “i wanna chill on land” so the line of bug and crustacean can get pretty blurry
Why? The sun is a deadly lazer
Not anymore there's a blanket
perhaps their pathfinding bugged out?
arthropods are related to bugs though?
@@MaxxStacks "bugs" is essentially synonymous with arthropod these days, so a bit more than just "related".
Theres also hemipterans, aka "true bugs", these are insects with a needle mouth and an incomplete metamorphosis, such as stink bugs, aphids and pond skaters.
I've thought about this and I think the type name is supposed to be a pun, things that BUG you, basically a pest type, or an annoyance type. this would make sense with all of the other things that aren't actually bugs; crabs, mold, spiders, etc, those things are annoying, it would also make the type advantage against psychic, because they annoy them and brake their focus and divert mental energy with distractions

"The things I do for pokemon."
Same. Ironically, this is the episode I always come back to. Other than Rock, Grass, and Poison. ._.

I think that all of us that have watched any of the Dorkly videos with Shuckle in them.
I’ve always actually thought that scolipede was based on the extinct arthropleura , which was a giant species of millipede that lived during the Carboniferous and was about 2.6 meters long!

I have always called shrimp, lobsters, crabs, etc. "bugs of the sea".
There is a book by Dan Brown, "Deception Point", which takes the point and runs with it. The plot revolves around a meteorite discovered in the Antarctic which has fossilized insects within. It's an ok mystery/thriller. I won't spoil how it ends.
That's racist.
1:17
*laughs in upside down*
I am sure Misty would have mixed feelings for Surskit as a Water/Bug type...same for Dewpider and Aquanid
I thought Pheromosa was a silverfish, which is definitely an insect.
Also, people *do* call lobstery things "bugs." Just come down South and ask for some mudbugs. 😆
Pheromosa is a cockroach (which are white just after shedding) and/or a copepod.
@@awesomecat42
Have a look at a silverfish. I've kept them as pets and the resemblance is no joke.
@@gabriellavedier9650 i mean, there is *some* resemblance, but i really cant see it at all besides the antenna and the vague shape if the appendix dorsalis and cerci (the three "tails" on silverfish) and a lil bit of the head shape. to me, pheromosa very much resembles a cockroach, specifically an amberwood or german cockroach. pheromosas translucent back highly resembles wings, their head and eye shape, the two claws some of them have, and cockroaches also have cerci themselves. contrary to popular belief, cockroaches are very clean and are condtantly grooming themselves. one of pheromosas pokedex entries say that it refuses to touch anything because it senses the uncleanliness of the world. another pokedex entry says that theyre very common in their world, like cockroaches are here. also many of pheromosas foreign names are derived from cockroach. i dont know much about copepods, but i know a lot about insects and pheromosa is about as cockroach like as a pokemon can get
@@thefluffyaj4119
Fair point. She just looks so thin. No cockroach would ever have an abdomen like hers. Seems like she could be some mix of both.
@@gabriellavedier9650 true, true! although cockroaches aren't /that/ big on their underside, their wings make them look bigger. plus, the brown banded cockroach is pretty fuckin thin. i dont even think pheromosas "torso" area was meant to resemble a bug, it looks more like a bugs segmented body mixed with a dress. i really dont mean to be a know it all but they just resemble a cockroach so much to me. plus i plan to be an entomologist (bug scientist) one day and ive been studying bugs as much as i could fir quite a number of years. im still far from knowing all of what i could know but id say i know a lot more about insects than the average person. but i guess we'd have to ask satoshi ourselves to really know for sure of pheromosas inspiration!
As i was watching this episode, i was playing Ultra Moon. I was legend hunting in the ultra wormhole, i went into a non legendary wormhole, and i encountered a shiny yanmega.
Ive encountered two and caught both of them.
Such an underrated shiny.
Agreed.
It's pretty cool that Entomologists named the new species of roach after Pheromosa... So ya she is basically a bug.
"BUGS BUG ME!"
- Misty 1999
Insects really bug me. Mosquitoes suck.😹👻
I was always under the impression shuckle was a type of tube worm. He can only be found by the sea (you couldn't go underwater in the second gen so it wouldn't be found in exactly the right place), resides in rocks where a tube worm would be found, and creates a mineral shell that it retreats into when threatened explaining ts high defense.
i always thought shuckle was an alien in a meteorite
yes please then we could change him into different types like deoxys, speed shuckle would be the best thing ever
in german it is a lot easier: Feromosa -> Schabelle the Schab part of the name is littlally the start of the word Schabe which is german for cockroach...
It's "Schabe" not "Scharbe", but good explanation
In French it's also easier as it is called "Cancrelove" from "cancrelat", also meaning cockroach...
7:07 cyclommatus are stag beetles lol
I was also thinking that vikavolt shares a visual similarity with the dobsonfly too, but I would go with stags.
Don't be dissing Shuckle, no joke my favourite Gold/Silver Pokemon. He was so adorable and I always kept him on my main team, that cute little dude.

Scolipede is based on the Arthuplaura. Which is the largest arthropod to ever walk on land with it's estimated size being about the same.

Shuckle is just Play-Doh being squeezed out of a rock mold.
And that bugs me.
That's why it's a bug pokemon!

Lockstin: Is freaked out by bugs
Also Lockstin: Designer of Kleptarach
I believe Scolipede also takes inspiration from Arthropleura, a centipede-millipede ancestor that was actually as big as a small horse.
His reaction to shuckle is priceless.
Crustaceans are absolutely bugs, heck there's a one that's just called a "bug" that's eaten here in Australia (it's a kinda lobsters thing)
Ocean bugs
Yeah
Yeah, if woodlice (a crustacean) can be called pilbugs, it doesnt seem a stretch.
Yes. I totally agree. Louisiana has crayfish in the bayous. A local name for them is mud bug.
rollie pollie/pill bugs are often called bugs but are crustaceans
What, a yabby? I've never called a yabby a bug
"Mystery meat" lol that's shuckle for you 👏🤣 great video dude keep up the good work.
shuckle is actually based on an imprisoned god that can only escape when the stars align. you can see this in that one particular strategy you can use to make shuckle commit war crimes. its very complex, and i have no idea how to do it, but its hysterical to watch a shuckle do a ridiculous amount of damage
Common misconception about the chrysalis. They aren't actually spun by the caterpillars themselves (those are cocoons). Chrysalises are actually a hard outer shell that caterpillars form under their old bodies which grow and literally bursts out of them. Everything about the caterpillar's old appearance (face, legs, skin) is shed like a dirty onesie, and replaced with a stationary container where the caterpillar melts itself, reforming into a new creature a few days after.
I wish I could melt myself; reforming into a new body.
That all sounds incredibly painful
+Jared McKenzie I just did it over the weekend it was surprisingly not bad.
Wack
@@McEezy94 bugs's nervous system is too simple for pain receptors.
In Japanese, crustaceans like crabs (蟹) and shrimps (蝦) use the 虫 character which means bug which is probably why they refer to them as bugs.
But… but clauncher…
So then why aren't Krabby, Kingler, Corphish, Crawdaunt, Clauncher, Clawitzer, *catches breath* Binacle, Barbaracle, Crabrawler, or Crabominable bug type? All of them are based of crustaceans (though Binacle and Barbaracle are pretty...out there interpretations of a barnacle).
Some of them also really do feel and look like bugs of the ocean's imo.
So I can definitely see why they gave them that typing.
Yeah, part of why I'm annoyed by this is because the Bug/Water type is a really cool combination that we've only really seen used to its potential in generation VII (yes, Surskit is gen III, but it wasn't really...using Bug/Water to its potential). Araquanid and Golisopod are really neat Pokemon, and I feel like Krabby, Clauncher, Kingler, or Clawitzer would appreciate having the second type to help them stand out from the plethora of other mono-water types (though Clauncher and Clawitzer already have a degree of uniqueness).
The mono type crustians should have bug type added.
Merriam Webster has several definitions for bug. The ones that typically apply to bug types are. ": any of an order (Hemiptera and especially its suborder Heteroptera) of insects (such as an assassin bug or chinch bug) that have sucking mouthparts, forewings thickened at the base, and incomplete metamorphosis and are often economic pests- called also true bug" and "any of various small arthropods (such as a beetle or spider) resembling the true bugs." By the second definition, most of the Pokèmon in the not sure catagory are bugs. Ignoring that definition also excludes many pokèmon in the other catagories.
shuckle is obviously a slime mold. Hemitricia serpula looks just like it, and it can even move, and has "large fruiting bodies" for their spores which might explain the fruit juice.
can you pls do a ghost type explained
sk2bradley what’s to explain?

sk2bradley Hes doing every type
This guy gets me!
I need this in my life. I love ghost pokemon.
sk2bradley MA BRO i wright a comment with the same idea like yours,i 100% agree wit you
This man spends nearly 2 minutes screaming about Shuckle. And I love it.
I bet he does that once a week
I REALLY didn't need to see that giant freaking centipede thing Scolipede is based on.
REALLY didn't like that.
The only part I didn’t freak out over were tarantulas. Love em, on the other hand I am TERRIFIED what caterpie is based on
scorpions ARE aracnids! why does nobody know that!?
came here to say this, thanks
Cause they look very different kind of
I do
So are solifugae but everyone thinks they're spiders.
I no tat
Like 80% sure shuckle is sposed to be a polycheate or tube worm which often build strong calcified shells around themselves on rocks by the sea
he's a tube wrom
You might be onto something there...
I actually think Shuckle is Slime Mold.
handrads GD dont fuckle with shuckle
I guess not all bug types have to be based on literal insects, like how not all grass types draw from just grass, or not all steel types are actually made of specifically steel, or how not all poison types are literally poisonous but can also be venomous or just generally toxic, or how flying can just be used for wind and air
Blipbug Line~Based on A ladybug. Larva, Pupa, then adult
Snom Line~Caterpillar and Moth
Sizzlipede Line~Centipedes
*hard type? Giggity*
A certain tree would lose its rock type.
Because Pheromosa makes you hard.
Because Shuckle is too hard
"Hard type." That's what she said.😹👻
Scolipede is my favorite bug type and if I was a Pokemon trainer it is how I'd get around
Troper H'ghar SCOLIPEDE IS B E S T B O Y! I love it so muchhh
Troper H'ghar Same here. God it would be awesome to ride a speed boost scolipede around!
Careful not to pet it. It might have poison point!
Cepherneeze 157 Imagine riding one to school!
Madison Taylor no more being late... everyone would flip out in either disgust or wonder... no one would pick fights with an 8'02" millipede that can summon earthquakes... yeah, it would be pretty dope.
Shiny Metapod was the first shiny I caught. Ran into it in Gold Version, was really confused why it used Flash when I ran into it.
1:34 I love the scolipede breakdown he had
I'm pretty sure shuckles design is supposed to be visually reminiscent of a worm in an apple.
bryan diaz varela but worms coming out of apples are usually associated with rotten apples so by that logic it should be bug ghost
Hellooooo, TH-camrs! I bring you greetings from Apple World!
then why is it a rock type?
@@randomguardian9587 he said visually reminiscent not that it's apple
@@joshuamendoza7596 well guess what, nope its grass dragon.
MissingNo. should be a bug type
Bizo Nah he Byrd type remember? ^^
Bizo That would make more sense, but no, Bird.
why?
Software glitches like MissingNo. are commonly referred to as "bugs", that's why.
I'm so slow...
For anyone curious, crustaceans are more closely related to insects then arachnids are, so the bigger question should be, why aren't more of the crustacean pokemon bug types? I think its a societal thing. We like to eat crustaceans, but no bugs, so we don't like to think that we're eating bugs. Also, on the subject of taxonomy, the term "bug" is actually a specific classification of insects with mouth parts evolved to suck fluids, but has been turned into a catch all term. If we're going to be specific, only a very small amount of pokemon would then be actual "bug" types. So just let the crustaceans be bugs.
it's like a super easy flowchart.
Is it a creepy crawly?
Yes -> Make it Bug type.
No -> Figure out what it should be.
Not bug?
Not grass?
Not fire?
Not water?
Not dark?
Not dragon?
Not psychic?
Not electric?
Not ghost?
Not fairy?
Not fighting?
Not ice?
Not poison?
Not ground?
Not rock?
Not flying?
Not steel?
Not normal?
What are they then?
PINEAPPLES?!
Cotlno da sQuiB Overlord They are then ???-Type.
@bryan diaz varela Whoa. That was like a flashback to middle school.
There Bananas
One of my Pokemon OC's is a pineapple.
I thought Chargerbug was just basically like
A bug squashed in a toaster
It sounds stupid logistically, but it's what it looks like to me
Lol
You make me smille
Thank
Alex Benavidez It’s supposed to be a battery, but your interpretation is funnier. XD
Chargabug is a a battery bug. Its eyes even look like battery life indicators.
To me, it looked like a bus
7:52 why is there a wingdull(I forgot the name)in the bottom left?
A hiper beast deve ser uma daquelas formigas rainhas gigantes no filmes de formiga antigos, tipo a de lucas o intruso no formigueiro
I never knew that about Burmy's line. I just thought Mothim being male exclusive was just sort of a counterpart to female-only Vespiquen. Heck, I didn't even know that the bag was actual constructed by the bagworm itself; I just kinda assumed it was some next-level camoflage.
Now I can go away and impress everyone with my bagworm trivia... ehm... woohoo?
0:47 for those people wearing headphones, that mosquito sound made me swing my hand to my right of my head to scare it, and realized it was the video, and now I feel very stupid.
You can actually see in the concept art for Charjabug that inside is just a slightly bigger Grubbin with minute changes. The eyes of the Charjabug are even just eye holes for the actual creature within
I think shuckle are worms that live in coral, but that wouldn't explane its extra limbs, unlesss each limb is the less dominant shuckle worm?
Shuckle is whatever he wants to be because one does not simply fuckle with the shuckle. >:D
I mean.... i would fuckle a shuckle
Random Cat Name No you wouldn't. Shuckle would fuckle you.
ChaddyFantome 😂😂😂😂
Excuse you, charjabug is clearly a school bus
It has head lights windows, and eyes that look like a wind shield with wipers
Lord Lucemon I thought it was a train?
Lord Lucemon : I always thought it looked like it was designed after an accordion.
But is it left hand drive or right hand drive?
A cube shaped beetle pupa that acts like a battery, looks like a bus, and sounds like an accordion. Still not as weird as shuckle.
More specifically its a bus in a zombie apocalypse
(It has spears on the frint
I just love bug types! We need more of these!
One thing I hope to see gamefreak do in the future is give crabrawler a hermit crab pre evolution. Since coconut crabs are just a type of hermit crab that loses its ability to breathe underwater in its adult stage. from that hermit crab pre evolution it can either turn into crabrawler or evolve into a different type of hermit crab maybe we can get another water fighting type out of it.
