More specifically, the reason Population Bomb is boosted by Sharpness is because of Japanese puns. In Japanese, mouse is 「ねずみ」(romanized as "nezumi"). But depending on the kanji used for 「ざん」(zan), it can mean different things. Written as 「算」the word "zan" would translate roughly to "calculation." I'm not good at math, so it's difficult for me to explain the meaning, but 「ねずみ算」or "mouse arithmetics" is calculating rapid population growth, from what I understand. So something like "mouse multiplication." I guess an equivalent slang term for English speakers would be "multiplying like rabbits." But you can also write "zan" as 「斬」which means to cut someone with a blade. Even more specifically, it can mean decapitation by sword. ... Well, let's just go with 「ねずみ斬」as meaning something like "mouse cutting" or "mouse cut." As for the English name, Population Bomb, it gets its name from a book written many years ago called The Population Bomb, which is about the population explosion of recent history and the concerns over the social and environmental impacts of human overpopulation. I guess "population explosion" was too long of an attack name to use. Regardless, it only carries over half of the pun, which obviously will cause confusion to players using the English text.
Forgive me if I’m being either dumb or forgetful, but would rage fist giratina be any good? It’s bulky enough to take hits, or even run regenerator here, and gets the stab on it.
maybe consider normalize entrainment/skill swap spirit shackle jungle healing dragapult, you trap your opponent and make them unable to deal damage and use jungle healing to prevent status from killing you. In theory you can PP stall an opponent with this. I tried it before after watching WolfeyVGC's video on a similar strat he used in VGC in Gen 5 with delcatty and gengar / haunter

Someone pls explain why population bomb is boosted by sharpness
Lmao
The original japanese name roughly translates to "Mouse Cut/Slash".
@@slacarai5109 that is concerning. I'm just imagining 4 mice hitting me with knifes
Mickey mouse had a dark childhood, filled with drug deals and knife fights, why do you think he's so rich?
That one physically defensive rocky helmet user:
I once did this same strat, but with a shift gear regigigas + tera normal (and kowtow cleave instead of behemoth so nothing resists it)
Forgive me if I’m being either dumb or forgetful, but would rage fist giratina be any good? It’s bulky enough to take hits, or even run regenerator here, and gets the stab on it.
That’s a good set, I’d say Regenerator can be good, but I could also imagine Magic Guard sets with Recover being viable with that.

The reason Population Bomb gets the Sharpness boost is because its Japanese name is a phrase that basically means “death by a thousand _cuts.”_
Same video as the septile one....
It's not the same video. However, I re-used a battle in which Kartana stood out
I just realized you used so,e repeated footage from the last video… tbh it’s cool footage so i don’t really care
