What Exactly is: Coevolution and the Case of Durant vs Heatmor

- On paper, Durant - Heatmor relation might be confusing, but the logic is quite sound and simple. It’s a phenomenon called coevolution. In fact, many occurrences of it had happened in the real world. Kudos to the pokemon designer for applying the concept nicely.

Came for Monster Hunter, stayed for all these cool videos about zoology
I did not expect you to be such a small channel! With this quality I expected you to be much bigger! As a student of biology I absolutely love this video, and I can't wait for more! Super entertaining.
Don't mind me as I press this big black button underneath the video.... Oops! I seem to have made it grey. Oh well, I guess that's just how it has to be then!
I still have a long way to go in terms of production and quality since i basically started with 0 experience of editing and all that, but glad you like it. I'll keep improving.
And good luck in your study too, hope you enjoy it.
Very interesting video!
underated channel
This is a really good video! I'm glad TH-cam recommended me this video! Are you planning on doing more videos like this?
What exactly do you mean by "like this"?
@@OutofPlaceZoologist pokemon evolution stuff idk, or more video game adjacent topics related to zoology
@@jacksonGPTOh i see
Yes i most likely will since i play video games a lot
It's very likely, but nothing planned for now
I usually make subtle references to video games here and there though
I suspected that durant may have evolved the steel armour before heatmor evolved the fire tongue to exploit it. Though that does raise the question of the wording of the dex, which implies that the armour still functions as an anti-predatory defence by being worded in present tense, and mentioning heatmor directly (it seems arguable that the non-fire-type ancestor wouldn't count as heatmor; can you really call something a heatmor if it can't, y'know, produce heat?).
In any case, didn't know that about cuckoos, pretty neat to learn!
One way to look at it is that yes the armor does indeed still provide anti-predatory defense. Logically, heatmor would still need to use the fire to melt through it, and that consumes energy (or pp if we're strictly talking pokemon logic). As long as it's not free, it's still a deterrence.
Another way to look at it is simply: it's pokemon, the logic doesn't need to be 100% sound lol
Can you do a video on glass sponges?
I find them really interesting since they use silica as their skeleton material.
I could, but probably not soon though.
Already got several videos to be uploaded.
I might be able to make one next month (or whenever i finished Dragon's Dogma 2 to be honest)
I'm sorry if this comes off as rude what you should use plurals more often
Unlike Pokemons,Creatures from Pikmin Series have scientific names,like *Bulborbs (Oculus kageyamii)* is a species of Grubdog!! Criticize #pikmincreatures
I just realized youtube automatically put this comment on hold because of some blocked word (which i'm not sure what)
That's interesting. Never played Pikmin so i have no idea about it. Might check it if i got the time.
Gen 5 is lame, it's not real Pokémon

Not at all, sorry this comment did not show up in my notification.
Thanks for the input, I'll keep it in mind
