freeze shock actually makes perfect sense. the electrical resistance of any given medium is proportional to that mediums temperature, cooling a thing reduces electrical resistance, therefore making the energy transfer more efficient. you also forgot to mention that hail gives blizzard perfect accuracy, which explains why it's regular accuracy is low. if you use blizzard normally, the user has to generate the snow and then shoot it at the enemy, giving them a chance to dodge, if hail is in effect, there is ice in the air everywhere, there is no dodging that.
@windhelmguard It doesn't actually make sense since the water molecules in ice are in fixed positions, so they can't move around in the medium to transmit electrical energy
But can we talk about how aurorus can’t learn Aurora veil? Edit: Nice! (or N-Ice!) Aurorus can now learn Aurora Veil in gen 8, returned in Crown Tundra and can now learn it through breeding.
And Kyurem can't learn Ice Punch even though he has arms made of f*cking ice, but an armless axolotl and a ball of gas CAN somehow learn Ice Punch. 🤦♂️
IKR? Aurorus is probably the most creative of the fossils since it is more than just the animal (although I guess bastiodon has castle design and tyrantrum has king design elements) but this is how it gets treated? It is such a cool (pun intended) concept to make an amargasaurus with aurora sails but it can't even use its sails. It also can't learn power gem, and as a special attacking rock type with gems on its body...

In some games or shows, maybe, but "mancy" is traditionally and linguistically reserved for fortune-telling. Necromancy was asking the spirits of the dead, and pyromancy was seeing omens in fire. That said, common usage, eh, you do you, but I wouldn't suggest it as an alternative to "ice magic".

Frigid Fangs (Physical): The user slides its frigid gaping maw into the target. If the user Attacks before the target, the Power of this Move is Doubled.
I'm just taking a second to appreciate that your editor took a screen grab of Freezy Frost's Gen 8 nulled-out description telling you to get rid of it instead of Let's Go's where it actually described the move.
My best guess as to why Blizzard has low accuracy has to do with the idea that the Pokemon just 'fails' to summon one at all. Since it's so powerful, it can't always be kicked up successfully. Unless it's hailing, in which the weather helps with the move, thus making it 100% accuracy.
Crabominable's Ice Hammer attack is meant to be a strange combination of Ice Punch and Crabhammer, swung as a variant of Arm Hammer, thus the Power/Accuracy stats and Speed-dropping effect.
11:11 It's not "basically as if", it's actually just that. 0° Kelvin (Absolute Zero) is so cold, atoms barely move if at all anymore. Temperature after all is just slower or faster movement of atoms.
The universe is extremely vast. It is possible, although unlikely, that something won't cease all molecular movement when subjected to absolute zero. There's just too much in our universe for any human bound to earth to know with absolute certainty what temperature will completely stop all molecular movement. So basically is actually correct.
I heard in school that at absolute zero, everything becomes a liquid. I guess maybe that since the atoms can't connect to each other at that temperature, everything falls apart at the molecular level?
I think the aurora thing is light reflecting off of ice crystals. Thus why it’s ice type and why aurora beam after hail gets you contest points, it’s pretty.
In the case of Kyurem-W, its signature move can be linked to the fact cold temperatures can cook food. So from some cryomantic being who can control ice AND fire, this sounds like a nuclear weapon of cryo and pyro, making it easy to burn
Since you covered what would happen if pokemon could have three types, it'd be cool if you covered moves being dual type. Things like fire punch would by fire and fighting, which would decimate ice and steel types, but I'm curious what other combos might exist and how their effectiveness would stack up!
I think a cool video idea would be to talk about the “most lethal Pokémon move” cause damn some moves just completely overkill. You got water gun like “sure a hose can hurt” vs Draco meteor that speaks for itself.
U at 6:23: Black Kyurem is Ice-Electric type Nintendo and ANYONE whose owns a post gen 5 handbook or played black2 or white2 or any gen 6 or 7 game: Black and White Kyurem are both Ice-Dragon type, like it's normal form
8:26 you're kinda right. But, the main reason why the poles are so cold is because of the angle at which the the sunlight hits the earth. The more perpendicular sunlight hits a surface, the more it heats it up.
About aurora being linked to valkyrie, isn't Jynx partially based off of a valkyrie? Kind of sad Jynx never got another evolution unlike Magmar and Electabuzz.
What if Aurora Beam and Aurora Veil are Ice type because they create a thin beam of ice and use the hailstorm as a thin wall of ice, respectively. The ice being so thin better bends and reflects the light to create a rainbow color.
another way ice burn could possibly work: kyurem launches the heat from its tail and heats up the opponent just enough to cause a small burn, then he launches the frigid substance or air, causing the opponent to be damaged a lot more. the reason it is still ice is that it's mostly cold air and whatever kyurem uses to freeze it's opponents, meaning they are still cold.
"Why do people live in Texas!? That's a lot of damage!" -Lockstin 2019 15:27 As someone who lives in Texas, let me answer that question. My joke answer is because people are toxic and like the heat. My serious answer is because economic opportunities since the 1800s that apply differently today. Just look at Austin (and I live in Austin too XD).
15:18 as a Texan, I feel targeted Seriously though, a couple of years ago we had a BAD hail storm that totaled a lot of cars (including mine) and did massive amounts of damage to roofs and windows. Thankfully, storms that bad are rare.
(9:25) "kmph" is not a valid way to write the unit, it is "km/h", because "km" and "h" are the units for kilometer and hour, and the "/" is used as the unified division and per mark. Using "p" would make some forms very complicated to read, the same reason why ² is used over using "sq". For example kg·m²/s³/A² is easier to read than kgsqmpcussqA.
9:06 I always saw missing with Blizzard to be more of a failed attempt instead of just the blizzard missing. It's making a giant blizzard so it only makes sense that sometimes it's to strenuous for the Pokemon to pull off.
Aurora beam could also be electric type. Magnetic field- related attacks are elecric type (as this is basically the same thing), and there have been experiments with creating auroras artificially with radio waves. I think it's ice type because places where the auroras are most frequently seen are rather icy. I don't see how fire type would make much sense.
@@asherdevin Fireball is one of the most famous spells in fantasy, and sure we have Pyro Ball now but that's an orb being kicked and only learned by Cinderace.
The aurora moves could be ice type due to their rainbow colour and their link to norse mythology. Probing the most notable rainbow in norse mythology is the bifrost. BiFROST.
@@Chaos89P The translation is perfectly fine in this case. One of the meanings of "canto" in Spanish is "piece of rock or another hard substance", in this case, a piece of ice. OP just wasn't aware of that meaning.
15:00 Might just be a separate stretch, but mist and haze is frequently used to symbolize the passage of time in Japanese artwork. Perhaps the idea is that the stat changes wear off over time that's hidden by the mist? It's not scientific, but I prefer my stretch. Great video!
freeze shock actually makes perfect sense.
the electrical resistance of any given medium is proportional to that mediums temperature, cooling a thing reduces electrical resistance, therefore making the energy transfer more efficient.
you also forgot to mention that hail gives blizzard perfect accuracy, which explains why it's regular accuracy is low.
if you use blizzard normally, the user has to generate the snow and then shoot it at the enemy, giving them a chance to dodge, if hail is in effect, there is ice in the air everywhere, there is no dodging that.
Windhelm Guard that is so cool, that’s not so crazy when beautiful science and logic is applied
So Kyurem literally turned it’s generated ice into a superconductor? Damn...

Frigid Fangs (Physical): The user slides its frigid gaping maw into the target. If the user Attacks before the target, the Power of this Move is Doubled.
I'm just taking a second to appreciate that your editor took a screen grab of Freezy Frost's Gen 8 nulled-out description telling you to get rid of it instead of Let's Go's where it actually described the move.
My best guess as to why Blizzard has low accuracy has to do with the idea that the Pokemon just 'fails' to summon one at all. Since it's so powerful, it can't always be kicked up successfully.
Unless it's hailing, in which the weather helps with the move, thus making it 100% accuracy.
Again, compressing air heats it up. It's the decompression of air that cools it down.
6:37 pure liquid water is a poor electrical conductor, but water with minerals in it (i.e. most water) does conduct electricity.
Crabominable's Ice Hammer attack is meant to be a strange combination of Ice Punch and Crabhammer, swung as a variant of Arm Hammer, thus the Power/Accuracy stats and Speed-dropping effect.

Yyeeeeaah about that.......

It's not "basically as if", it's actually just that.
0° Kelvin (Absolute Zero) is so cold, atoms barely move if at all anymore.
Temperature after all is just slower or faster movement of atoms.
The universe is extremely vast. It is possible, although unlikely, that something won't cease all molecular movement when subjected to absolute zero. There's just too much in our universe for any human bound to earth to know with absolute certainty what temperature will completely stop all molecular movement. So basically is actually correct.
I heard in school that at absolute zero, everything becomes a liquid. I guess maybe that since the atoms can't connect to each other at that temperature, everything falls apart at the molecular level?
Zero Kelvin, not zero degrees Kelvin.
11:10 Tardigrades on land: Am I a joke to you?
I think the aurora thing is light reflecting off of ice crystals. Thus why it’s ice type and why aurora beam after hail gets you contest points, it’s pretty.

Your selection in “ice-themed music” is pretty good. You find some cool tunes for your backup music 👌
In the case of Kyurem-W, its signature move can be linked to the fact cold temperatures can cook food. So from some cryomantic being who can control ice AND fire, this sounds like a nuclear weapon of cryo and pyro, making it easy to burn
Since you covered what would happen if pokemon could have three types, it'd be cool if you covered moves being dual type. Things like fire punch would by fire and fighting, which would decimate ice and steel types, but I'm curious what other combos might exist and how their effectiveness would stack up!
I feel like if dual-type moves were a thing, they should be pretty rare. I mean, otherwise, waaaay too many of them would be part-Fighting
0:09 Little did he know this would be far from his best excuse to not go outside. Thanks 2020

"I have an excuse to be inside" didn't age well
As someone from the south hemisphere, I'm currently in hell. Seeing you north americans talk about snow this time of the year does not help.
Well you get the cold weather while we melt in the summer time.
I would rather freeze then melt
In Australia it's practically hell at the moment.
Australia is on fricken fire
@@jerrisatyourwindow I'd rather melt
I think a cool video idea would be to talk about the “most lethal Pokémon move” cause damn some moves just completely overkill. You got water gun like “sure a hose can hurt” vs Draco meteor that speaks for itself.

"WHY DO PEOPLE LIVE IN TEXAS?"
I ask myself this every single day, yet I'm still here.
I'd want to live there to se Bidthiaversor.A tyrannosaur
Everyone: Snow...Christmas...ice Types
And here in germany we had 14°C and sunshine today
Yes winter
In Denmark the grass was frozen. And guess what? It was late October to early november!
And things probably will get even worse this month
Meanwhile at South America... "Calurosa navidad"
and now it's raining in Germany -_-
Uruguay, over 30° :)
Netherlands, right next to germany. -4 at 9 am
"and I have an excuse to stay inside now"
yeah...
I live in texas and a few days ago a hail ball broke my glass table. That's what you get for living in a state that fits all seasons in one day
ur username pleases me
8:42 Lockstin you did it again! It's supposed to be Cryomancy! ;P
12:45 it could also just expel the heat/flames towards the enemy
11:02 hey that’s Kiryu’s move
U at 6:23: Black Kyurem is Ice-Electric type
Nintendo and ANYONE whose owns a post gen 5 handbook or played black2 or white2 or any gen 6 or 7 game: Black and White Kyurem are both Ice-Dragon type, like it's normal form
The first word in the video: IT'S..
Me an intellectual: BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME
Me a filthy memer: BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE WE GOT TO SEE...
Yay! I can watch the video and it's not 3 AM!
By the way, in spanish, there is a rock move which is actually called Avalanche
0:10 "That roaring fire at the background either wood or gas is an example how not to adress the climate change"
"bruh, it just a video....."
8:26 you're kinda right. But, the main reason why the poles are so cold is because of the angle at which the the sunlight hits the earth. The more perpendicular sunlight hits a surface, the more it heats it up.
Actually, both Kyurem formes are still Dragon/Ice...
About aurora being linked to valkyrie, isn't Jynx partially based off of a valkyrie?
Kind of sad Jynx never got another evolution unlike Magmar and Electabuzz.
How in the name of Arkoos did you get frozen by a CAMERUPT
What if Aurora Beam and Aurora Veil are Ice type because they create a thin beam of ice and use the hailstorm as a thin wall of ice, respectively.
The ice being so thin better bends and reflects the light to create a rainbow color.
"Why do people live in Texas?
That's a lot of damage!"
another way ice burn could possibly work:
kyurem launches the heat from its tail and heats up the opponent just enough to cause a small burn, then he launches the frigid substance or air, causing the opponent to be damaged a lot more. the reason it is still ice is that it's mostly cold air and whatever kyurem uses to freeze it's opponents, meaning they are still cold.
"Why do people live in Texas!? That's a lot of damage!"
-Lockstin 2019 15:27
As someone who lives in Texas, let me answer that question. My joke answer is because people are toxic and like the heat. My serious answer is because economic opportunities since the 1800s that apply differently today. Just look at Austin (and I live in Austin too XD).
Lockstin: I have a reason to be inside...
Me in 2020/2021: mfw
Black and White Kyurem are still Dragon/Ice, not ice and fire/electric
Ikr
I like how the description you screenshot for Freezy Frost is the one from Sword & Shield that just says "This move can't be used."
You are wrong is not called glacier it's called kill child
Jokes on you, I live where it never snows
8:07
At this time of year,
At this time of day ,
In this part of the country,
Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Yes.
13:50 “this move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered “
Like for 'all mega evolutions, z-moves and G-max moves explained'
Finally...You talk aboot ice type pokemon moves.
I can finally (CHILL)
~Team Ice Age
15:18 as a Texan, I feel targeted
Seriously though, a couple of years ago we had a BAD hail storm that totaled a lot of cars (including mine) and did massive amounts of damage to roofs and windows. Thankfully, storms that bad are rare.
Me, living in a tropical country (Philippines): What's snow? What's winter?
Isn’t freeze shock only ice type and not dual-typed or am I wrong?
Yes its only Ice Type
The only dual typed move in existence at the moment is Hawlucha's Flying Press.
I believe he meant Black Kyruem's typing but even then that is wrong since sadly it keeps normal Kyruem's typing :(
(9:25) "kmph" is not a valid way to write the unit, it is "km/h", because "km" and "h" are the units for kilometer and hour, and the "/" is used as the unified division and per mark. Using "p" would make some forms very complicated to read, the same reason why ² is used over using "sq". For example kg·m²/s³/A² is easier to read than kgsqmpcussqA.
It's December but still it's super hot in my country🌶️
9:06 I always saw missing with Blizzard to be more of a failed attempt instead of just the blizzard missing. It's making a giant blizzard so it only makes sense that sometimes it's to strenuous for the Pokemon to pull off.
"But it failed!"
Then explain double battles
3:53 In Japanese, a bad or cheesy joke would be described as “cold” (寒い).
In Cantonese they are called Cold Jokes (冷笑話)
Aurora beam could also be electric type. Magnetic field- related attacks are elecric type (as this is basically the same thing), and there have been experiments with creating auroras artificially with radio waves. I think it's ice type because places where the auroras are most frequently seen are rather icy. I don't see how fire type would make much sense.
"It's like rock without rock throw"
Or haha you know...
*_FIRE WITHOUT FIREBALL._*
But you have ember and flamethrower?
@@asherdevin Fireball is one of the most famous spells in fantasy, and sure we have Pyro Ball now but that's an orb being kicked and only learned by Cinderace.
I purchased the "Azoth Poke Alchemy" poster. I can't wait to get it! :)
here where i live isn't cold, it's very hot
The aurora moves could be ice type due to their rainbow colour and their link to norse mythology. Probing the most notable rainbow in norse mythology is the bifrost. BiFROST.
I was hoping that you mention that "Ice Shard" is called "Canto Helado" in spanish, wich means "Ice Sing" and tried to explain why that could be...
"Canto" also is a synonym for stone (piedra).......
"Canto" in Spanish also means "Rock" or "Rock Fragment". So... there you have it.
I'm guessing it's garbage translation. Weren't some of the Pokémon games poorly translated into Spanish?
@@Chaos89P The translation is perfectly fine in this case. One of the meanings of "canto" in Spanish is "piece of rock or another hard substance", in this case, a piece of ice. OP just wasn't aware of that meaning.
@@Chaos89P Lol, as I recall, the Spanish, or maybe it was Portuguese, translations originally had the move Slam translated as "Door Slam."
15:00 Might just be a separate stretch, but mist and haze is frequently used to symbolize the passage of time in Japanese artwork. Perhaps the idea is that the stat changes wear off over time that's hidden by the mist? It's not scientific, but I prefer my stretch. Great video!
