Hammer arm is basically a Hammer strike where you use both arm to strike your target hence why every Pokemon shown using the move have both arms glow white.
High Jump Kick is actually an attack with the knee. It's pretty much Pokemon's version of Captain Falcon's forward air. It's named differently from Jump Kick in japanese, it's one of the instances where the meaning got lost in translation
Low Kick (JP: Kick Down) seems to follow more the tripping effect (whether for the old flinch effect or the weight damage bonus), while Low Sweep is focused on damaging the shins (to reduce Speed).
Hammer arm: a blow striking with the same part of the hand as a karate chop, only using a closed fist instead of an open hand. Typically a very powerful strike, but one which can leave the attacker out of position.
So, the thing with a move like Vacuum Wave is that it's based on the concept of the vacuum palm, in which a trained fighter can create a largely airtight space in the palm of their hand, allowing them to pick up a heavy object without actually applying their grip. It doesn't explain much about how they can send this force outward, but the technique is an actual concept.
Final Gambit might be based around the idea of a so-called Master Blow -- a single strike that is designed to end the fight before it really starts, by basically using all the energy the fighter has to fuel it. As the pokémon HP stat is implied to be something akin to combat stamina/endurance, it makes sense that it, like explosion and self destruct, literally causes the user to pass out when it goes off -- the move literally burns all the user's energy, and they pass out, unfit to fight.

"Pummeling" is just such a weird and fun name for me. I'm not a native speaker, I'm German and "pummelig" here means chubby. It sounds nothing like fighting or even close to being dangerous. The German name for the z-move is "Fulminante Faustschläge", which roughly translates to "brilliant fistpunches". It's always amazing and amusing how different the translations are from each other.
One thing that you kinda handwaved was Low Kick vs Low Sweep. In martial arts, a low kick is a kick aimed at the legs to hamper your opponent's mobility, while a sweep is designed to knock them off of their feet and let gravity do its thing, making it more effective against heavier fighters when successful. They both do exactly what the other move is supposed to do! I know it's a little detail, but it's bugged me ever since I noticed the connection!
Storm Throw is specifically the Mountain Storm Throw, which pulls the opponent over the user's shoulder from behind themself, and slams the opponent into the ground back-first.
I feel like if they make a thresher shark pokemon(Which I will love, I love Thresher bois) and a Bullet shrimp pokemon they shall make them water and fighting Water because they live in water And fighting because they use very strong attacks that can stun and kill prey and this comment
You forgot that power up punch also toughens up their arms and muscles. Also force palm involves thrusting energy directly into the opponent. It is something that is often used in association with eastern martial arts, especially tai chi. You can't complain about vacuum wave when talking about pokemon, you know magical creatures. They can defy laws of physics when they want to.
I believe dizzy punch is one of 2 things: 1) a punch of the drunken fist style. 2) a punch that is accurate and precise to wherever you need to punch an opponent to disorient him Either case shows mastery of the art of fighting.
New Fighting Type Moves - Adrenaline Surge (Status): The user's adrenaline surges, restoring its HP and raising its Attack and Speed (one stage each), but lowering its Defense and Special Defense (one stage each). Blocking Throw (Physical): The user moves into a falling position, avoiding damage by grabbing and throwing Pokémon that target it with direct moves with the power of the moves used. If no Pokémon targets the user, its Defense harshly drops (two stages). Tag Team (Physical): The user strikes its target before tagging out, switching into a party Pokémon in waiting that then attacks the target as well. Grapple (Physical): Grabbing the target, the user holds it close and pummels it mercilessly. This also harshly lowers the user's Evasiveness, however (two stages). Pregame Stretch (Status): The user gets in some quick stretching exercises to sharply boost its Attack and Speed Stats (two stages each). This move can only be used on the first turn the user is in battle. Kinetic Thrust (Physical): The user throws a forceful punch that launches a wave of pure kinetic energy at its target. This attack does Special Damage. Duel (Status): The user challenges its target to 1-on-1 combat, preventing both itself and the target from escaping until one of them faints. During this time, both the user and the target only can use Attack Moves, and they both are unaffected by moves of other Pokémon in battle. Honor System (Status): The user enforces an honorable battle based solely on the skills of the battlers. For five turns, all factors such as Stat Changes, Status and Weather Effects, Hazards, and Critical Hits are negated. Warmup Stretch (Status): The user stretches its muscles to prime itself for the upcoming battle, raising its Attack, Speed, and Evasiveness (one stage each). It only works the first turn the user is in battle. Focus Break (Physical): The user smashes into its target with a shattering bodycheck. This move ignores factors that would prevent it from being able to knock out its target in a single hit (Sturdy, Endure, Focus Sash, Focus Band). Parry (Physical): The user prepares to intercept its target's move, dealing damage to the target and reducing the damage it takes from the move. This move will fail if the target isn't preparing a damaging move. Capoeira (Physical): The user strikes everything around it with a frenzied dance of spins and kicks. Pushback (Status): The user holds its ground and braces itself for an attack. In addition to protecting the user from attacks, this move also forces any attacker that makes direct contact out of battle. Headlock (Physical): The user grabs its target and wraps its arms around its head to impede its movement, lowering its Speed (one stage) and possibly causing it to Flinch (20%). Guard Press (Physical): The user sturdies itself and crashes into its target. This move's damage is calculated using the user's Defense Stat and the target's Attack Stat. Muscle Flex (Status): The user proudly flexes its bulging muscles to intimidate its target and pump itself up. This lowers the target's Attack Stat (one stage) while raising the user's own Attack Stat (one stage).

Tàijíquán (Status): The user calms itself through serene poses, restoring its lowered Stats to normal. Stretch Kick (Physical): The user kicks with a massive force from a long leg. Focus Terrain (Status): The user infuses the ground beneath everyone's feet with qi for five turns. Pokémon on the ground have their Accuracy and Critical Hit Ratio boosted (one stage each).

One-Two Punch (Physical): The user strikes its target once to lower its Defense (one stage), then again to take advantage of the opening. Focus Aura (Status): The user focuses and channels its aura, raising its Attack, Special Attack, and Accuracy (one stage each). Pressure Hold (Physical): The user gets a hold of its foe and holds down a vital pressure point to knock it out. The target faints instantly if this Attack hits.

Sleeper Hold (Physical): The target is attacked with a hold that may leave it Asleep (30%). War Dance (Physical): The user lets loose a wild and frenzied war dance, attacking for two to three Turns. It then becomes Confused, however. Roughhouse (Physical): The user lets loose its pent-up energy by roughhousing with its target. This Attack never Misses. Avenge (Physical): The user avenges its fallen allies. If an ally fainted in the previous turn, this move becomes more powerful. Piledriver (Physical): The user attacks its target with a full-power piledriver. The Attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Attack Stat (two stages).

Suplex (Physical): A Two Turn Move in which the user lifts its target on the First Turn and then slams it over its back to the ground and drops onto it on the Second Turn. This move's Power depends on the Weight of the user and its target. The target cannot Attack while Lifted.

Disarm (Physical): The user deals a sweeping blow to disarm the opposing Pokémon. This also Lowers their Attack Stats (one Stage). Rope Down (Physical): The user traps and squeezes its target for two or three Turns, rendering both unable to Move for the duration.
That is not how a reversal works. A reversal is taking an attack from your opponent and then keeping their momentum and turning it back on them while adding your own, on top of it. This is applicable to a lot of strike and mostly throws such as the Judo throw and hip toss. Its more of of an opportunist approach, turning the tables after the opponent got the upper hand. I know where you were going on about there, but in real martial arts, that's a thing. I agree with everything else though. Though the vaccum wave, you really thrown into disbelief about that when pokemon can learn moves that have them move so fast they create after images such as double team? But they can't move something so fast it creates a vaccum?
In order to achieve a vacuum out of a negative pressure zone, the object would need to be moving at around Mach 7, which I guess is possible when Pokémon are fast enough to make after images with double team, but I think the move has more problems than that. The way the move is described in game uses the phrase “pure vacuum”, which is only a theoretical possibility and would require MUCH more than Mach 7. On top of that, it “fires” the vacuum across the battle field to hit an opponent, which isn’t even a theoretical possibility, the vacuum would just fill itself in
Counter would be more akin to what you are describing than reversal. Reversals are a things, though, in grappling more specifically. It is when you go from a bottom position to top position. Counter is when you do as you mentioned. A counter is when offensivly take advantage against your opponents offense. Reversal in context of pokemon I'd say is that trope thing
@@TriforceChad Perhaps Vacuum wave works more akin to a Mantis Shrimp’s claw attack. Then again, maybe the cavitation effect doesn’t work in compressible fluids like air
4:35 Power up punch isn’t the result of adrenaline. The moves description in certain games even states how it works, the quick consecutive hits harden the hands which raises power as harder materials can transfer more force
I feel the descriptions for low kick and low sweep should be the other way round. Within karate, you would use a sweep to take a foot or a leg from underneath your opponent, where as you would use a kick to the shin or knees as a way to slow then down or distract them. That's in my experience anyway
Iv never heard of a formal fighting style that encompasses a chop to both sides of the neck. But then again, I’m more of a weapon fighter than hand to hand
Maiq The Liar VII so you’d know better than most that double chop strikes are stupid and that’s why no one ever actually does them outside if anime (X-Scissor being the weapon version of Cross Chop helps illustrate that lol)
Your assertion of why a kick to the shin hurts so much isn't entirely correct. The pain doesn't come from a proper nerve being compressed, but rather from the periostuim, which is a richly innervated tissue surrounding bone. In fact, like the brain, liver or kidneys, you don't really feel the organ itself, but rather the tissue that surrounds them, and that's why you can find people with serious issues in those organs, like tumors or parasites, who don't feel a thing but others with smaller injuries, like bumping your shin against the table, feel a lot of pain
3:17 If there’s anything I learned from the new Carmen Sandiego show on Netflix (besides that bananas and tuna are Ecuador’s chief exports) is that you, “Always protect the face.”
I always thought that Power-Up Punch comes from martial arts practitioners that strike some object over and over and their knuckles get harder because of it, increasing attack power. The description mentions something like that, but yours make sense too, an adrenaline boost is not permanent, like the attack boost gained from PuP
Hey, Lockstin! I want to thank you for your content and for being a respectable member of the Pokemon community. Just found out about certain Poke-tubers, and I am glad you're around to keep a respectable aura within the Pokemon Community on youtube.
I can't wait to see the ones for psychic, my favorite type. What I think you should do is take a look at their Japanese names, because they actually give a bit more context. For example, Psychic is called psychokinesis, while Confusion is called Mindpower. That would actually explain why psychic is depicted as a psychokinetic move in the anime, and gives insight on the importation of Pokemon in America.
If you're going to do a full video on Vacuum Wave, I figure the best real life equivalent would be Smasher Mantis Shrimp and Pistol Shrimp creating Cavitation Bubbles when they attack.
Low kicks arent blows to the shins, they're Charlie horse like blows. The martial artist will hook the opponents legs with a low sweep. And toss them. These moves can also be used with throws that resemble judo. The fact that these moves use the opponents weight against them are why this attack does more damage depending on how heavy the opponent is.
Doesn't a certain kind of shrimp create a vacuum underwater that heats up when it it collapses. I always pictured something similar for the move vacuum wave
Quite a few animals use sonic booms as weapons, one of my favorites is the Thresher Shark, a 20 foot shark thats 11.5 ft tail, this is because the way the shark gets its prey is by using its large tail as a whip to create a large sonic boom, strong enough to stun entire schools of fish, even killing smaller schools of fish, the speedy fish, unable to move the fish become the sauropod shark's(because of the tail) meal,half cooked sardines,mmmmmmmmmmm,tasty with a side of salt please.
Mr. Sharp toothed whales can use Stuns as well. If they did make a Thresher Shark pokemon I think it should have all the non exclusive sound moves like boomburst and a move called tail shot a based 90,100 accurate physical sound move that can 100% stun the opponent if it's smaller than it, referencing the way that the Thresher can stun prey, but the prey is a lot smaller, I think it needs the ability soundproof, feel like it would be pretty good.
The thing about Vacuum Wave... Here is a short narrative to accurately depict what I'd imagine it to be. A young Riolu with an outstretched paw concentrates on the target before him. As his feet press further into the dirt and his eyes narrow forwards, a gale begins to encircle his arm, only growing into a faster tornado as he continues channeling. Soon after the wind closed around his fist, the Riolu is ready to discharge. With a powerful blast that only had enough recoil to slide him back a few meters, the spiraling vacuum is launched in front of him; the instantaneous gust sent his Torchic partner sprawling. Thankfully the blast didn't injure the Fire-type too much. However, he only decided to sit up. "I... think that was Vacuum Wave, Riolu," he chuckled. The Torchic gave the Fighting-type a wink despite his pain. "Keep it up," he told him.
Dizzy Punch isn't actually punching while dizzy or acting dizzy. It's just punching in a rhythm that somehow makes the enemy dizzy. You can see this in at least its Chinese names, both Cantonese and Mandarin, where it's actually "Dizzying Punch."
Fighting types' super-effectiveness against: -Normal: Average people are no matches for professional martial artists like a boxer, karateka, taekwondo player or sumo wrestler. -Ice and Rock: Skillful martial artists can break hard breakable objects by kicking/punching them. -Steel: Again a skillful martial artist can bent or break steel objects by punching them. -Dark: A concept of war against symbols of evil like jihad, also shoguns, ninjas, knights or samurais, are fighting their foes in the war and cowboys, gauchos, air combatants, and superheroes are battling evil forces in action movies.
Alpheidae used Vacuum Wave. It's SUPER EFFECTIVE! I want Lockstin to do a video on the science of the pistol shrimp species and mantis shrimp. THEY ARE DOPE
Oh come now, Lockstin~ your honna look over Dizzy Punch? I mean, it can be two things: 1) the drucken fist, possibly the pokemon acts dizzy and clocks the opponent. Or 2, the obvious one) the pokemon hits the opponent so hard, it disorients them.
@@petercarioscia9189 Primeape is actually a pretty good fighting-type pokemon. Stat-wise it's tied with the Hitmons (455), and it can learn lots of different moves of different types (including dragon-type moves), which makes it even more versatile than the fighting-type pokemon that have higher stats, such as Conkeldurr or Machamp.
I like to think that certain attacks (especially ones that are a bit vague on what the pokemon is actually doing) can be performed in more that one way, depending on the pokemon's species, or just that one pokemon's preference, for example, maybe one pokemon likes to use razor leaf by throwing sharp leaves at the opponent, but another likes to sharpen the leaves on it's body and then attack with those (both of these have been shown before, most grass pokemon in the anime throw leaves, but in origins, in the fight against Giovanni, Red's victorybell uses razor leaf as a melee attack).
there are some real animals who use something like "vacuum punch", they're called snapping shrimps or pistol shrimps. they move their claw (they snap it actually) so fast, that it vaporizes the water around them, knocking out or even killing other animals close to it. the scientific therm for this sort of thing is called cavitation and it is the reason why propellers of large ships or submarines have bubble-like holes in their blades.
Does anyone else feel like low sweep and low kick should be swapped? It makes more sense in my head for low sweep to be the one that is more effective against heavier foes because you're sweeping them off their feet whereas low kick would make sense being the one to lower speed becuase you're kicking the shins and no one is gonna want to move fast after being kicked in the shins...
Sadly, only judokas can get the real references of Circle Throw and Storm Throw Circle throw (Tomoe Nage) is a judo technique that throws your oponent far away as you said. People should watch the technique, it's also shown in the anime in the Throh episode Storm throw (Yama Arashi) is a very explosive judo technique, that's why it always crit. It's not an actual blow, just a grab, the damage comes when you hit the floor with all that momentum
I’m pretty sure Reversal is based on a reversal in wrestling, where you are on the mat under your opponent, but then “reverse” positions to where you are now in the advantaged position. Similarly, your Pokémon is at a disadvantage with lower HP, but then quickly turns the tables on your opponent with big damage. Edit: Grammar

Da Temporal Dialga, thank you, thank you, you are too kind
You forgot that power up punch also toughens up their arms and muscles. Also force palm involves thrusting energy directly into the opponent. It is something that is often used in association with eastern martial arts, especially tai chi. You can't complain about vacuum wave when talking about pokemon, you know magical creatures. They can defy laws of physics when they want to.
I think vacuum wave is more easily imagined as a strike fast enough that it pushes a wave of air out towards the enemy, like a vortex ring
What is Vacuum Wave?
Anime. It's just the "blade beam" bit. "I swing my sword/fist/leg so fast that it created a pressure wave projectile".
So no fairy, dragon and normal type pokemon videos?
Or are you just waiting for the realize of Sword and Shield?
Id assume hed want to have it done before gen 8
So he can just make a single video for all of gen 8
Release, right?
I believe dizzy punch is one of 2 things:
1) a punch of the drunken fist style.
2) a punch that is accurate and precise to wherever you need to punch an opponent to disorient him
Either case shows mastery of the art of fighting.
Really the fighting type is catagorized by insane strength and discipline. All of their attacks are kinda self explanatory.
I was about to make a joke about punch moves but... you *beat* me to it.
Emerald Composer beaten to the punch?
Pokemon Fairy, Dragon, and Normal, typing explained!

Fun fact the user tightening focus for focus punch has the highest priority in the game.
New Fighting Type Moves -
Adrenaline Surge (Status): The user's adrenaline surges, restoring its HP and raising its Attack and Speed (one stage each), but lowering its Defense and Special Defense (one stage each).
Blocking Throw (Physical): The user moves into a falling position, avoiding damage by grabbing and throwing Pokémon that target it with direct moves with the power of the moves used. If no Pokémon targets the user, its Defense harshly drops (two stages).
Tag Team (Physical): The user strikes its target before tagging out, switching into a party Pokémon in waiting that then attacks the target as well.
Grapple (Physical): Grabbing the target, the user holds it close and pummels it mercilessly. This also harshly lowers the user's Evasiveness, however (two stages).
Pregame Stretch (Status): The user gets in some quick stretching exercises to sharply boost its Attack and Speed Stats (two stages each). This move can only be used on the first turn the user is in battle.
Kinetic Thrust (Physical): The user throws a forceful punch that launches a wave of pure kinetic energy at its target. This attack does Special Damage.
Duel (Status): The user challenges its target to 1-on-1 combat, preventing both itself and the target from escaping until one of them faints. During this time, both the user and the target only can use Attack Moves, and they both are unaffected by moves of other Pokémon in battle.
Honor System (Status): The user enforces an honorable battle based solely on the skills of the battlers. For five turns, all factors such as Stat Changes, Status and Weather Effects, Hazards, and Critical Hits are negated.
Warmup Stretch (Status): The user stretches its muscles to prime itself for the upcoming battle, raising its Attack, Speed, and Evasiveness (one stage each). It only works the first turn the user is in battle.
Focus Break (Physical): The user smashes into its target with a shattering bodycheck. This move ignores factors that would prevent it from being able to knock out its target in a single hit (Sturdy, Endure, Focus Sash, Focus Band).
Parry (Physical): The user prepares to intercept its target's move, dealing damage to the target and reducing the damage it takes from the move. This move will fail if the target isn't preparing a damaging move.
Capoeira (Physical): The user strikes everything around it with a frenzied dance of spins and kicks.
Pushback (Status): The user holds its ground and braces itself for an attack. In addition to protecting the user from attacks, this move also forces any attacker that makes direct contact out of battle.
Headlock (Physical): The user grabs its target and wraps its arms around its head to impede its movement, lowering its Speed (one stage) and possibly causing it to Flinch (20%).
Guard Press (Physical): The user sturdies itself and crashes into its target. This move's damage is calculated using the user's Defense Stat and the target's Attack Stat.
Muscle Flex (Status): The user proudly flexes its bulging muscles to intimidate its target and pump itself up. This lowers the target's Attack Stat (one stage) while raising the user's own Attack Stat (one stage).
Somersault (Physical): The user rolls into its target to inflict damage, getting more skillful with each hit. Hitting a target raises the Attack Stat (one stage).
Title Match (Physical): If the user's HP is half or less, this attack will hit with double the power.
Powerslam (Physical): A two turn attack where critical hits land more easily. This may also make the target Flinch (30%).
Body Check (Physical): The user smashes into the target with a full-body tackle that may make it Flinch (20%).
Choke Hold (Physical): The user grabs its foe around the neck and holds tight for four to five turns.
Gloating Punch (Physical): A punch that, if it knocks out a target, will also sharply raise the user's Attack Stat (two stages).
Seek Opening (Physical): The user looks for an opening and attacks its target, bypassing its Stat changes.
Tàijíquán (Status): The user calms itself through serene poses, restoring its lowered Stats to normal.
Stretch Kick (Physical): The user kicks with a massive force from a long leg.
Focus Terrain (Status): The user infuses the ground beneath everyone's feet with qi for five turns. Pokémon on the ground have their Accuracy and Critical Hit Ratio boosted (one stage each).
Roundhouse Kick (Physical): The user unleashes a powerful spinning kick that strikes every Pokémon around it.
One-Two Punch (Physical): The user strikes its target once to lower its Defense (one stage), then again to take advantage of the opening.
Focus Aura (Status): The user focuses and channels its aura, raising its Attack, Special Attack, and Accuracy (one stage each).
Pressure Hold (Physical): The user gets a hold of its foe and holds down a vital pressure point to knock it out. The target faints instantly if this Attack hits.
Sweat Guard (Status): The user begins to sweat profusely, making its body slippery to avoid damage from direct Attacks.
Force Throw (Physical): The user hurls the target back into its Poké Ball with a powerful throw that forces both of them to switch out.
Sleeper Hold (Physical): The target is attacked with a hold that may leave it Asleep (30%).
War Dance (Physical): The user lets loose a wild and frenzied war dance, attacking for two to three Turns. It then becomes Confused, however.
Roughhouse (Physical): The user lets loose its pent-up energy by roughhousing with its target. This Attack never Misses.
Avenge (Physical): The user avenges its fallen allies. If an ally fainted in the previous turn, this move becomes more powerful.
Piledriver (Physical): The user attacks its target with a full-power piledriver. The Attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Attack Stat (two stages).
Vengeful Strike (Physical): The user takes revenge for its fallen comrades by attacking its target in their honor. The more fainted or Status-afflicted party Pokémon, the greater the number of attacks.
Suplex (Physical): A Two Turn Move in which the user lifts its target on the First Turn and then slams it over its back to the ground and drops onto it on the Second Turn. This move's Power depends on the Weight of the user and its target. The target cannot Attack while Lifted.
Heartbeat (Physical): The user's heartbeat quickens to such a pace that it shakes the ground to Attack everything around it. The effort wears out the user and lowers its Speed (one Stage), however.
Smash Kick (Physical): A firm kick into the target to deal Damage.
Grand Finale (Physical): This Move can be used only after the user has used all the other Moves it knows in the Battle.
Aura Storm (Special): The user concentrates its Aura into a swirling vortex to attack its target. The lower the user's HP, the higher this Move's Power.
Pummel (Physical): The user's rage peaks, and it rushes to its target to beat it down from point-blank range. This Attack's Recoil harshly lowers the user's Defense Stat (two Stages).
Gloves Off (Status): The user casts aside its Item to Battle more seriously, reducing its Weight, raising its Attack (one Stage), and sharply raising its Speed (two Stages).
Concussion (Physical): The user concusses its target with a blow to the head. If the user's Physical Attack is higher, this Move will be Physical and Fighting Type, and will lower the target's Attack Stat (one Stage). If the user's Special Attack is higher, this Move will be Special and Psychic Type, and will lower the target's Special Attack Stat (one Stage).
Disarm (Physical): The user deals a sweeping blow to disarm the opposing Pokémon. This also Lowers their Attack Stats (one Stage).
Rope Down (Physical): The user traps and squeezes its target for two or three Turns, rendering both unable to Move for the duration.
That is not how a reversal works. A reversal is taking an attack from your opponent and then keeping their momentum and turning it back on them while adding your own, on top of it. This is applicable to a lot of strike and mostly throws such as the Judo throw and hip toss. Its more of of an opportunist approach, turning the tables after the opponent got the upper hand.
I know where you were going on about there, but in real martial arts, that's a thing. I agree with everything else though.
Though the vaccum wave, you really thrown into disbelief about that when pokemon can learn moves that have them move so fast they create after images such as double team? But they can't move something so fast it creates a vaccum?
In order to achieve a vacuum out of a negative pressure zone, the object would need to be moving at around Mach 7, which I guess is possible when Pokémon are fast enough to make after images with double team, but I think the move has more problems than that.
The way the move is described in game uses the phrase “pure vacuum”, which is only a theoretical possibility and would require MUCH more than Mach 7. On top of that, it “fires” the vacuum across the battle field to hit an opponent, which isn’t even a theoretical possibility, the vacuum would just fill itself in
Counter would be more akin to what you are describing than reversal. Reversals are a things, though, in grappling more specifically. It is when you go from a bottom position to top position. Counter is when you do as you mentioned. A counter is when offensivly take advantage against your opponents offense. Reversal in context of pokemon I'd say is that trope thing
@@TriforceChad
Perhaps Vacuum wave works more akin to a Mantis Shrimp’s claw attack. Then again, maybe the cavitation effect doesn’t work in compressible fluids like air
4:35 Power up punch isn’t the result of adrenaline. The moves description in certain games even states how it works, the quick consecutive hits harden the hands which raises power as harder materials can transfer more force
Ok
I feel the descriptions for low kick and low sweep should be the other way round.
Within karate, you would use a sweep to take a foot or a leg from underneath your opponent, where as you would use a kick to the shin or knees as a way to slow then down or distract them.
That's in my experience anyway
Iv never heard of a formal fighting style that encompasses a chop to both sides of the neck.
But then again, I’m more of a weapon fighter than hand to hand
Maiq The Liar VII so you’d know better than most that double chop strikes are stupid and that’s why no one ever actually does them outside if anime (X-Scissor being the weapon version of Cross Chop helps illustrate that lol)
Maybe Dizzy-Punch is based on the drunken master fighting style? It confuses the opponent, and the description describes it as "rhythmic".
Or just a head blow. probably why it causes confusion.
Your assertion of why a kick to the shin hurts so much isn't entirely correct. The pain doesn't come from a proper nerve being compressed, but rather from the periostuim, which is a richly innervated tissue surrounding bone. In fact, like the brain, liver or kidneys, you don't really feel the organ itself, but rather the tissue that surrounds them, and that's why you can find people with serious issues in those organs, like tumors or parasites, who don't feel a thing but others with smaller injuries, like bumping your shin against the table, feel a lot of pain
I always thought seismic toss was just tossing a rock at your opponent.
15:25 Don Frye vs Takayama would be a good visual representation of it.
Dizzy Punch always made me think of the Drunken Master archetype of Kung Fu. Thus it's Fighting type.
3:17 If there’s anything I learned from the new Carmen Sandiego show on Netflix (besides that bananas and tuna are Ecuador’s chief exports) is that you, “Always protect the face.”
My favorite fighting type move is probably Aura Sphere. It looks so cool and I mostly associate it with Lucario who is my 4th favorite Pokémonx
Gacha Rose First obviously and second I don’t get it.
Moonwatcher 92 Oh
Lucario is my favorite...
Mr. Enderus Cool
@Moonwatcher 92 except for the fact lucario is actually good and will probably take it out with one earthquake........
I always thought that Power-Up Punch comes from martial arts practitioners that strike some object over and over and their knuckles get harder because of it, increasing attack power. The description mentions something like that, but yours make sense too, an adrenaline boost is not permanent, like the attack boost gained from PuP
So basically fighting Pokémon just learn punches, kicks, and anime tropes.
IIRC they were originally the "hero" type in an early beta. Makes sense with all the other kaiju/super sentai influences in Pokémon.
Hey, Lockstin! I want to thank you for your content and for being a respectable member of the Pokemon community. Just found out about certain Poke-tubers, and I am glad you're around to keep a respectable aura within the Pokemon Community on youtube.
I can't wait to see the ones for psychic, my favorite type.
What I think you should do is take a look at their Japanese names, because they actually give a bit more context.
For example, Psychic is called psychokinesis, while Confusion is called Mindpower. That would actually explain why psychic is depicted as a psychokinetic move in the anime, and gives insight on the importation of Pokemon in America.
If you're going to do a full video on Vacuum Wave, I figure the best real life equivalent would be Smasher Mantis Shrimp and Pistol Shrimp creating Cavitation Bubbles when they attack.
“...you start getting light headed and confused.” I think you mean “Concussed”.
Low kicks arent blows to the shins, they're Charlie horse like blows. The martial artist will hook the opponents legs with a low sweep. And toss them. These moves can also be used with throws that resemble judo. The fact that these moves use the opponents weight against them are why this attack does more damage depending on how heavy the opponent is.
Music at 9:31. PLEASE. I will ask every time I hear this tune in a video, by anyone. I WANT TO LISTEN TO IT AT MY LEISURE, PLEASE!
Low kicks are not generally done to the shins, it’s to ones thigh. You strike 2-3 inches above the knee...
8:52 "low sweeping kick to the legs" or groin by the looks of this particular animation.
Does double damage if opponent is male
can we talk about how low sweep is anchored directly at fraxure's balls?
Doesn't a certain kind of shrimp create a vacuum underwater that heats up when it it collapses. I always pictured something similar for the move vacuum wave
Quite a few animals use sonic booms as weapons, one of my favorites is the Thresher Shark, a 20 foot shark thats 11.5 ft tail, this is because the way the shark gets its prey is by using its large tail as a whip to create a large sonic boom, strong enough to stun entire schools of fish, even killing smaller schools of fish, the speedy fish, unable to move the fish become the sauropod shark's(because of the tail) meal,half cooked sardines,mmmmmmmmmmm,tasty with a side of salt please.
@@suchomimustenerensis oh, I have heard of that! Great one
Mr. Sharp toothed whales can use Stuns as well.
If they did make a Thresher Shark pokemon I think it should have all the non exclusive sound moves like boomburst and a move called tail shot a based 90,100 accurate physical sound move that can 100% stun the opponent if it's smaller than it, referencing the way that the Thresher can stun prey, but the prey is a lot smaller, I think it needs the ability soundproof, feel like it would be pretty good.
The thing about Vacuum Wave... Here is a short narrative to accurately depict what I'd imagine it to be.
A young Riolu with an outstretched paw concentrates on the target before him. As his feet press further into the dirt and his eyes narrow forwards, a gale begins to encircle his arm, only growing into a faster tornado as he continues channeling. Soon after the wind closed around his fist, the Riolu is ready to discharge. With a powerful blast that only had enough recoil to slide him back a few meters, the spiraling vacuum is launched in front of him; the instantaneous gust sent his Torchic partner sprawling.
Thankfully the blast didn't injure the Fire-type too much. However, he only decided to sit up. "I... think that was Vacuum Wave, Riolu," he chuckled. The Torchic gave the Fighting-type a wink despite his pain. "Keep it up," he told him.
Everybody was kungfu fighting...
HenshinFanatic
They were fast as lightning
It was a little bit frightening, but they fought with expert timing
Dizzy Punch isn't actually punching while dizzy or acting dizzy. It's just punching in a rhythm that somehow makes the enemy dizzy. You can see this in at least its Chinese names, both Cantonese and Mandarin, where it's actually "Dizzying Punch."
8:10 "Which is why is can cause flinching"
...Uh, Lockstin? Might wanna check yourself
Fighting types' super-effectiveness against:
-Normal: Average people are no matches for professional martial artists like a boxer, karateka, taekwondo player or sumo wrestler.
-Ice and Rock: Skillful martial artists can break hard breakable objects by kicking/punching them.
-Steel: Again a skillful martial artist can bent or break steel objects by punching them.
-Dark: A concept of war against symbols of evil like jihad, also shoguns, ninjas, knights or samurais, are fighting their foes in the war and cowboys, gauchos, air combatants, and superheroes are battling evil forces in action movies.
1:13 to skip all the bad puns
Jk lol I'll keep my big meowth shut
What, because of the timestamp? Na. Tu many people were asking Furret.
@@EarlyOwOwl well that was onixpected, i dont bayleef it 😄
you are actually right, very bad jokes.
@@Segal231 _Absol_-utely agree with you
@@Segal231 sorry man. It aint persianal.
I always thought that the diziness of dynamic punch came from the punch hitting the head with so much strength it caused a concussion
Ive been waiting for this one cause of how controversial it would be in this context
I think Dynamic Punch confuses 100% is because the target is stunned that the move actually hit anything.
Are you going to do the ora, ora thing?
is that a jojo reference
I really love your every Pokémon type explained videos and was wondering when you’re planning on doing another video for that
Can u do a "water type moves EXPLAINED" or "Every dragon mon EXPLAINED" btw i LOVED the puns
Alpheidae used Vacuum Wave. It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!
I want Lockstin to do a video on the science of the pistol shrimp species and mantis shrimp. THEY ARE DOPE
You could also explain items. Maybe there are interesting facts about some of them.
Oh come now, Lockstin~ your honna look over Dizzy Punch? I mean, it can be two things:
1) the drucken fist, possibly the pokemon acts dizzy and clocks the opponent.
Or 2, the obvious one) the pokemon hits the opponent so hard, it disorients them.
Fighting is my favorite type, and my favorite fighting-type pokemon is Machamp.
I really like Primeape... moreso from the anime, Primeape sucks in competitive
My favorite is throh
@@petercarioscia9189 Primeape is actually a pretty good fighting-type pokemon. Stat-wise it's tied with the Hitmons (455), and it can learn lots of different moves of different types (including dragon-type moves), which makes it even more versatile than the fighting-type pokemon that have higher stats, such as Conkeldurr or Machamp.
I like to think that certain attacks (especially ones that are a bit vague on what the pokemon is actually doing) can be performed in more that one way, depending on the pokemon's species, or just that one pokemon's preference, for example, maybe one pokemon likes to use razor leaf by throwing sharp leaves at the opponent, but another likes to sharpen the leaves on it's body and then attack with those (both of these have been shown before, most grass pokemon in the anime throw leaves, but in origins, in the fight against Giovanni, Red's victorybell uses razor leaf as a melee attack).
Yes!! This is the good stuff! Nice work!
there are some real animals who use something like "vacuum punch", they're called snapping shrimps or pistol shrimps. they move their claw (they snap it actually) so fast, that it vaporizes the water around them, knocking out or even killing other animals close to it. the scientific therm for this sort of thing is called cavitation and it is the reason why propellers of large ships or submarines have bubble-like holes in their blades.
Incineroar's up special in smash bros is cross chop (I think)
it is
Does anyone else feel like low sweep and low kick should be swapped? It makes more sense in my head for low sweep to be the one that is more effective against heavier foes because you're sweeping them off their feet whereas low kick would make sense being the one to lower speed becuase you're kicking the shins and no one is gonna want to move fast after being kicked in the shins...
>kung foo master
>has a sword
Ok
Kung Fu isn't an art with just punches and kicks - there's a reason why the Chinese had weapons like the staff, the Chinese sabers, so on.
Pretty sure Seismic toss is called as such because it uses the earth's gravity to its advantage.
I like to think that Drain Punch is based on the whole “use your opponents energy against them” mantra.
I've always imagined vaccum punch as being essentially the thing which mantis shrimps do.
Yep same.
1:10 Put a Sawk in it, will ya?
Sadly, only judokas can get the real references of Circle Throw and Storm Throw
Circle throw (Tomoe Nage) is a judo technique that throws your oponent far away as you said. People should watch the technique, it's also shown in the anime in the Throh episode
Storm throw (Yama Arashi) is a very explosive judo technique, that's why it always crit. It's not an actual blow, just a grab, the damage comes when you hit the floor with all that momentum
2:51
_IS THAT A GRAVITY FALLS REFERENCE!!_
Yeah
The amount of fighting-resistant pokemon being hit by fighting moves in this video is making me cry.
Aren't Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick actually knee attacks in Japanese?
jump kick is drop kick and HJK is Jumping knee kick
@@Straven93 thank you :3
I’m pretty sure Reversal is based on a reversal in wrestling, where you are on the mat under your opponent, but then “reverse” positions to where you are now in the advantaged position. Similarly, your Pokémon is at a disadvantage with lower HP, but then quickly turns the tables on your opponent with big damage.
Edit: Grammar
Wait... what about the normal dragon and other type Pokémon videos?? Dragon is my favorite type
