For what it's worth, there are no Pokémon with Trick-Or-Treat in SV, only Forest's Curse, so you'd have to use that with either Psychic or Electric Terrain specifically, no Grassy Terrain
Fun fact about the egg groups: if you go to bulbapedia, on the 'dragon egg group' page and scroll down to Applin, it says that Applin's other egg group is Monster
@@MaahirMomtaz12 I know it is, I'm just pointing out that on Bulbapedia, it says 'monster' as the other egg group for Applin on the Dragon egg group page. Everywhere else it's correct
I think the bigger reason that nothing evolves into a bug type is that it would be strange for something that isn’t anatomically similar to a bug to become one upon evolution
The only way I could ever see this being implimented is with a Bug-Type Eeveelution. Otherwise the core concept for the Pokemon in question would have to be quite wacky.
I'm really shocked that Revelation Dance deals damage based on the user's type, you'd expect it to just be Normal type if used by anything that isn't Oricorio. And fun fact: Revelation Dance is a very rare aspect of Pokémon where the order of types matters, dealing damage based on the first type of the mon.
Its ability Dancer also has some fun interactions, like when using two moves in one turn, each count towards Status Timers like Sleep, Freeze, Confusion so they can be shrugged off sooner than normal. Also in the case of Petal Dance you aren't locked in, don't get confused with repeated use, and retain the "outrage" mode so it can ignore redirection moves like Follow Me.
Y'know, I usually don't care much for those engagement prompts, but since you asked so nicely (and at the end of the video, like a sensible creature), you may have a comment for the algorithm! Already left a like at fact one and the subsequent "I *told* you these facts were useless". 10+ for honesty!
Another Useless Fact: You might think that Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon are the only Pokemon who lose all of their original type(s) upon evolution, but that's actually incorrect! Alolan Marowak also changes its typing entirely upon evolution, and is the only Pokemon that isn't an eeveelution to have this trait.
About Pokemon descriptors like "mouse", it's actually really easy to explain. It's a kids game. Something like "dog pokemon" would be equivalent to the scientific "canid" or "canis lupus", but because the target demographic is everyone who can kinda read, they keep it simple.
The most interesting thing about the bird type is how all of flying's resistances and weaknesses can all be applied to a bord and they still make sense. It was probably not long before release the bird type was changed to flying.
Useless fact that I just learned this week: Vivilion has a signature move named powder, which upon use makes the enemy take cancel and take instant damage upon using any fire type attack. In S/V, not only Vivilion but also Ribombee (another pokemon that ended up learning powder) can no longer learn this move.
These animal name words were probably made to describe similar pokemon, so even if we only have 2 or 4 elephant pokemon, in canon there should be a lot more which made them come up with the word to describe pokemon with long trunks that sre heavy
Yeah that’s what I was thinking like we have plenty of bird but we don’t call them by their species name we just say bird so as long as there are different species it should be fine
Mhmmmm, it's probably names from Pokemon's phenotypic phylogeny (which in our world gives us stuff like "Fish" that's practically useless genetically). Which, kinda makes me want to see even an incomplete Pokemon genetic phylogeny... It'd be interesting to see what stuff was related and whether there's any biological explanations for the breeding groups.
Its actually because in gen 1 and 2 the lore use to be pokemon in our world, and it n Gen 3 became the pokemon world instead. Early episodes in the anime follow this but when Hoen started they went with Gen 3 lore(since Hoen its Gen 3). The clues are two main things. 1. The first time gen 1 when it release in Japan, there was a special bonus with the game and that is a physical pokedex, with not only been the pokedex but lore of gen 1, theories of evolution, conversations pokemon professors around the world mentioning countries of IRL like Japan, France and US. Many of the physical pokedex entries will mention real world things like Duduo been mention that been an exported animal from South America. 2. I forgot how they are called but there are these design Japanese cards with good drawings, that they made for merchandise ( I am not talking of regular pokemon cards), they would have pokemon in IRL situations and they were consider canon. Of course in general 2, this did not follow, no more physical pokedex or those special traditional cards. In gen 3 its when they mentioned regions but not IRL places and the lore changes. There is a youtuber that pay for the physical pokedex to be translated, if you are interested find the video.
Plus, "(-)phone" just means "sound". (Typically distinct sounds, especially vocal/linguistic sounds, as the PIE root meant "speech/to speak" but gained new meanings as it spread [such as to foretell/"fate" something to happen, or spread the word/"fame" of someone's deeds])
@@robertlupa8273 no worries. The only reason I knew the animal reference is ‘cause I watched the anime episode explaining the relationship between Zangoose and Seviper. Pretty sure they straight up just call it the “mongoose” Pokémon or something along those lines.
I think the last one is a bit misunderstood. The animals being referenced do exist in the pokemon universe. It's those pokemon. There's no animal in the real world called "dog", that's a broad term to describe a family of animals. Labs, Retrievers, Shibas, Etc are all types of dogs, but there is no animal just called "Dog". Likewise, Arcanine, Houndoom, Rockruff are all "Dog" pokemon.
thank you so much for this video genuinely. i love obscure and useless pokémon facts but it's so hard to find good videos that teach me new things. this is a breath of fresh air and i'm so hyped over the concept of bombirdier with stab on 8 types at once
An interesting fact that I just found out is that Johto has two fighting and dragon specialists, those being Bruno and Chuck and Lance and Clair respectively. Also, depending on which Hoenn game you’re playing, the region will have two water specialists, since, in Emerald, Wallace is champion, still using his water Pokémon, while leaving the Sootopolis Gym to his mentor Juan, who, of course, also specializes in water Pokémon. I never knew that Johto in particular had two types that had multiple notable specialists. I knew Dragon had two in Johto, but not fighting.
Iirc, there was a group of glitch hunters that discovered a few years back that Missingno.'s "bird" typing was because the game pulls trainer class IDs when it tries to generate types for the pokemon, and Bird is part of the BirdKeeper trainer class (or bird catcher, whatever they are...) Bulbapedia gets their 'facts' wrong quite frequently, I wouldn't trust it as 100% fact, unless there is another source to back that up. I'm not disparaging the fact as a whole, just Bulbapedia :P You even pointed out that this glitch only works in the english versions, where BirdKeeper is, well, english. The glitch is still present in japanese, where とり (Tori) is the "type" used, pulling from the Tori Tsukai (とりつかい) trainer class :)
1:50 actually, no. Flying types, and levitate Pokémon, are unaffected by Terrains. For example, during an Electric Terrain, you’d be able to put Non-grounded Pokemon to sleep Unless of course you Terastallised
Considering he mentioned that you have to tera, and it's already flying, you are gonna have to tera into a grounded typing regardless......so..... No matter which way you want to spin it, it would still work cause Bomberdier won't even be a flying type in this silly hypothetical.
You don't get stab on it tho, but I guess if you use an arcanine or typhlosion with burn up and then lose all your PP maybe you can have stab on Struggle
My personal headcanon for the listed animals is that there's a Pokemon genus categorization system, it's just that the Pokemon have specific names they'd rather be called, or fit better, kind of like felines cover house cats and lions, but we call them cats. That'd be the equivalent of a Growlithe being a canine, related to other dogs, but we call it Growlithe as a way to specify which one. I'm not counting the gen 1 "Indian elephant" mentioned in Raichu because that blows my whole theory out of the water, and that makes me big sadge.
11:23 I don't think them using real life animals descriptions is a problem/plot hole/issue/or alike. I can pass it as a coincidence between our world and the pokémon world (at the end of the day they're all animals) Just that instead of that one cat being a siamese cat, is a Meowth, or that one dog being a german shepard, is a Growlithe, that one horse being a Clydesdale , is Mudsdale We share species (?) but the races are different (Or something like that)
About reference to real animals Either 1 - they exist but in smaller numbers than Pokémon (I mean, ~150 unique species per region, which is roughly saying is a country? - it's like REALLY a lot) 2 - they existed but mostly gone extinct at some point after Pokémon appeared 3 - they are a result of fantasy-driven evolution of a normal animals And I also like from another comment, 4 - words came out to describe Pokémon that resemble similar traits
I don’t care how useless the facts are, make some random BS up for all I care! You opened with the mochi mayhem battle theme. I am watching the whole thing and I’m liking
I'm confused; doesn't terastallization overwrite previous STAB bonuses because it effectively changes a Pokemon's type? So by terastallizing Bombirdier, it would lose its flying/dark type, and thus lose flying/dark STAB? (Edit) IT DOESN'T? I've been playing Pokemon Showdown wrong this whole time?! That was NOT a useless fact, I learned something new about terastallization!
The last one actually makes Sense since its a more generalization of creaturezyoi can see in real too You dont call a Golden Retriever and a Pitbull different than you call a dog because both are dogs Sabe would apply in pokémon,a general name for a family of animals
7:11 Does changing the nickname of a pokemon to be blank not remove the nickname if it already had one beforehand? The wiki doesn’t seem to cover this for previous generations and I can’t test it myself so I may be wrong on this
9:18 my headcanon is that all gen 1 birds were all bird/flying and then when they realised that made no sense, they replaced all instances of bird with normal. Thus why we had no pure flying type bird until gen 8
I believe terrain effects do not apply to ungrounded pokemon meaning you either terastalize into a grounded type and possibly lose your trick or treat ghost stab (unsure as to how that interaction functions) or you only get the 20% boost from the item. Either way you *only* get 7 stabs
I did mention that Bombirdier will be terastallizing, but now that you point it out, I am not sure how it works with trick-or-treat/forest's curse, so we may actually be limited to only 7 stab types
7:14. In that same vein, in Black and White, if you nicknamed Cofagrigus, you would never be able to nickname it back to Cofagrigus because the the profanity filter would catch a certain 3 letter derogatory term preventing this even though that’s it’s original name.
Fun fact: Indian elephants used to exist in the Pokemon universe, but Gastly suffocating all of them rendered them extinct. My source is that i made it up.
For the 8 stab types, terrains don't effect pokemon that dont have contact with the ground, so for it to work youd also need something to make the bomdbirdier not be floating.
I think the lack of pokemon gaining bug on evolution doesnt have anything to do with "becoming weaker", its more likely because there arent any pokemon who 'become' a bug. You either always were a bug, or you never are. Contrast to other 'biological' types like flying, which has the precedence of gaining wings both in stories and reality, and dragon, which has mythological precedence.
@@x_bell1142 hmm when u think about this was also possible in gen 8 thanks to dhelmise, trevenant, and gourgeist being in the game so u can inflict both trick or treat and forests curse and steelworker
@@FlygonkingVGC Steelworker doesn't grant an ally a steel boost, only steely spirit. We can still use that though since Perrserker is in gen 8. Trick or treat and forest's curse do not stack though, as I mentioned in the video
Wait... soak makes a pokemon SOLEY water type? Why isn't this used competitevly? You can remove there stab while also making it easy for all of your pokemon to be able to deal super effective damage!
The egg groups, to my understanding, do not have official names - just widely-accepted fan names - so I don't really think "there are five egg groups with names that match existing types, and fifteen dual-type Pokémon whose egg groups match their types exactly" is as cool a fact as the rest of the ones in this video.
Egg group names have been mentioned in Pokémon spinoffs such as Pokémon Stadium 2 on the Nintendo 64 and Pokédex 3D on the 3DS though. Whether you consider those canonical though is debatable
Trick or Treat isn’t in SV as its Gourgeist’s attack so it’d be Forest’s Curse instead Doesn’t change the ending stab amount but its just a small correction
For a Pokémon that gains the bug type opon evolution, I think a good idea would be a normal puppy that gets fleas when it evolves and becomes normal/bug, normal for the dog and bug for the fleas

That's the joke.
Idc, i still think Porygon-Z should be Normal/Bug just for the pun.
I believe terrain effects do not apply to ungrounded pokemon meaning you either terastalize into a grounded type and possibly lose your trick or treat ghost stab (unsure as to how that interaction functions) or you only get the 20% boost from the item. Either way you *only* get 7 stabs
Or you use the move gravity or an iron ball to ground you
@@poryzonegames942 gravity would work yeah! Nice addition 👍
I did mention that Bombirdier will be terastallizing, but now that you point it out, I am not sure how it works with trick-or-treat/forest's curse, so we may actually be limited to only 7 stab types
7:14. In that same vein, in Black and White, if you nicknamed Cofagrigus, you would never be able to nickname it back to Cofagrigus because the the profanity filter would catch a certain 3 letter derogatory term preventing this even though that’s it’s original name.
There's also the chef on SS Anne who mentions cooking eels and Victrybel whose category is the flycatcher, which references flies
This the type of content i scroll my feed for
Fun Fact: Scyther's Pokemon number and weight are the same (123)
amazing video!!
Fun fact: Indian elephants used to exist in the Pokemon universe, but Gastly suffocating all of them rendered them extinct.
My source is that i made it up.
You had me there for a second
Number 3 actually isn’t useless
For the 8 stab types, terrains don't effect pokemon that dont have contact with the ground, so for it to work youd also need something to make the bomdbirdier not be floating.
Terastallization solves this issue - Bombirdier will be grounded after terastallizing.
I think the lack of pokemon gaining bug on evolution doesnt have anything to do with "becoming weaker", its more likely because there arent any pokemon who 'become' a bug. You either always were a bug, or you never are. Contrast to other 'biological' types like flying, which has the precedence of gaining wings both in stories and reality, and dragon, which has mythological precedence.
To be fair, vice is the way it’s spelled in countries like the UK and Aus.
As a rule of thumb any time UK and US spelling differs, commonwealth countries will follow the UK spelling
1:50 nope impossible gorgeist isn’t in the same game as bombirdier and flying types aren’t effected by terrain
In that case, we'll use trick or treat. And remember, we are terastallizing, which changes Bombirdier's type so that it becomes grounded
@@x_bell1142 hmm when u think about this was also possible in gen 8 thanks to dhelmise, trevenant, and gourgeist being in the game so u can inflict both trick or treat and forests curse and steelworker
@@FlygonkingVGC Steelworker doesn't grant an ally a steel boost, only steely spirit. We can still use that though since Perrserker is in gen 8. Trick or treat and forest's curse do not stack though, as I mentioned in the video
@@x_bell1142 oops forgot again but thanks for the info
I still spell "Hi Jump Kick" using its original spelling. Something about abbreviating "high" as "hi" just feels cooler.
Like Drive Thru and Drive Through
Wait... soak makes a pokemon SOLEY water type? Why isn't this used competitevly? You can remove there stab while also making it easy for all of your pokemon to be able to deal super effective damage!
Mostly water types learn it
And its removed when switching out
The egg groups, to my understanding, do not have official names - just widely-accepted fan names - so I don't really think "there are five egg groups with names that match existing types, and fifteen dual-type Pokémon whose egg groups match their types exactly" is as cool a fact as the rest of the ones in this video.
Egg group names have been mentioned in Pokémon spinoffs such as Pokémon Stadium 2 on the Nintendo 64 and Pokédex 3D on the 3DS though. Whether you consider those canonical though is debatable
@@x_bell1142 I mean, if those were made with the blessing of TPC, I guess they are canon (unless otherwise overwritten by actual canon later).
Pulling Shrek as an example in a Pokémon vid was unexpected, yet genius
Togetic mentioned 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Does Smeargle get a STAB bonus on revelation dance while typeless?
Can a tera stellar pokemon with metronome have stab on every type of move?
false, now i can USE these to confuse my friends
My favorite was the typeless revelation dance
I wanted to know if Smeargle gets a stab boost on the typeless move.
Trick or Treat isn’t in SV as its Gourgeist’s attack so it’d be Forest’s Curse instead
Doesn’t change the ending stab amount but its just a small correction
Thank you for very usefull facts
You're welcome
Watchhog has 420 base stat and bloodshot eyes
For a Pokémon that gains the bug type opon evolution, I think a good idea would be a normal puppy that gets fleas when it evolves and becomes normal/bug, normal for the dog and bug for the fleas
That's creative!
Smeargle can also use struggle instead of revelation dance for a typeless attacking move.
True
Bro, I watched all of Woop's obscure moves vids, and I recognized every single move.
So tell me wtf is Magic Powder doing here. I never heard of no Magic Powder.
Idk what emoji I can even use to describe my feelings rn. I am shook.
Also, thank you for adding more useless Pokémon related trivia to my brain. My autism is reaching new heights, and I will be unrivaled in Pokémon game trivia.
Edit: Hold the phone. I never payed attention to that in Shrek 😂
I the origin entry of Raichu it Volts a Indian Elephant but in the first Legends go it was a Copparaja.
thank you for these "useless facts"
You're welcome
Umbreon can learn and use the move Synchronoise, which will do nothing because dark types are immune to psychic type attacks
True
Goat 🗣
Nice
Oh boy! Useless facts!
