@@thedeafelectrician420 I think you took it to far with this. Yeah sure her voice is a bit awkward but its a nice voice. Also, she can't change how her normal voice sounds, so It just sounds like your being mean. Not collabing with someone just because of thier voice is a really mean thing to do. Would you stop judging people on their voice and how they look? It is really not nice. Toby and PrimaDiva worked hard on this video to make it look good and to get the right info. Please respect thier work.
But the thing is there aren't that many ice types in Kanto, mostly water and ice types and they will be living in the sea, dragonite wouldn't interact with them as much especially since dragonite is so rare while these ice types such as Lapras are also extremely rare.
@@wegs1756 true, I remember Dragonite being mentioned to be the Guardian of the Sea or something similar, but as Toby said since Dragonite can fly I think it's more likely that they nest high in the mountains and only come down to the sea to maybe breed, since dratini and dragonair are found in the water. That would actually makes sense, Dratini and Dragonair aren't flying types and therefore do not have a 4x weakness to the Ice types found in their habitat, the sea. Dragonite gains wings and the flying type which gives it a 4x weakness to the Ice types so they no longer stay in the sea and don't interact with the Ice types anymore. (Or maybe it's the other way round, not sure)
@@ryanchoong4714 I mean, there must be a reason to Gyarados naturaly learning dragon type moves, on top of that, one that will kill any low level dragon like Dratini.
pikachu are the same height as meowth but heavier s IF meowth took them down they'd have to hunt in packs a lot of canids do that only one cat species does which is lions
my personal head canon is that electric types like Pikachu use a similar system to poison dart frogs. they're brightly colored to warn predators that they are electric type and aren't worth messing with
Many Pokemon are surely Vegan. Probably even most. Just Berrys, Berrys, Berrys. I always feel like people forget this 'possibility', which is especially strange, seeing as how overwhelmingly likely it is.
you should make this a series Toby. now we need Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Nature Reserve, Kalos, Alola(melemele), Alola(Akala), Alola(ula'ula), Alola(Poni), Galar(mainland), Galar(isle of armor), Galar(Crown Tundra)
i agree it needs to be a series but not with a clueless offensive "expert" * alola & galar have separate areas but they don't deserve separate full areas maybe just make those episodes a bit longer to accommodate

I don't think it's fair to say that there is "A" top predator across an entire region. But I agree that the options you gave are strong contenders, each in their own niches. Gyarados is certainly the top predator in the ocean around Kanto, though. Snorlax, much like most bears in real life, are probably omnivores - though Snorlax itself would probably just take advantage of whatever food was available, with other pokémon supplementing its largely plant-based diet Mind you, if the anime is anything to go by, most pokémon eat berries and other plants, either exclusively, or in addition to prey Though, that doesn't mean anime pokémon food doesn't include at least some meat-based protein as well. There's probably a whole bunch of different types, designed for different pokémon diets

@@BirdKeeperToby they are carnivorous 😅😅 and Jynx can live up to 40yrs 😶 I own the pokemon anatomy soooo if pokemon was real, I'd be running fast asf from a Jynx 😅
Like a giant bullfrog. Bullfrogs don't even have teeth but will eat anything they can over power. Venusaur's huge mouth could easily gulp down a Rattata
These videos are some of my favorite, cause it delves into Pokémon relations and such, and I find it fascinating! Would definitely love to see videos like this for other regions. Great video, Toby! Keep it up, you brilliant bird keeper!
Parasect: When the mushroom can no longer absorb nutrients from the host it must feed on the sap of trees. Muk: Grimer; Griner enjoys nothing more than drinking filthy waste water. Because of this, Grimer can be used as a natural filtration device. Gyaradose would be the apex. It can go wherever it likes, also being part flying type, can learn ice type moves, and is slightly faster than Dragonite. So in a 1 v 1, Gyaradose wins.
Ahh, Magikarp. It’s impossible for humans to eat, due to the Pokemon being pure skin and bone. Unfortunately, it still wouldn’t be the apex predator. Cats are able to digest bone, if they can bite it into small enough pieces. We can assume pretty safely that Persian, maybe even Meowth, will be able to bite the Magikarp’s bones into small enough pieces to swallow and digest. This is, of course, if they can catch them. Magikarp can (according to the pokedex) jump as high as a mountain, so it would be a tricky meal for Pokemon on the ground, but once it uses splash just once then it would be easy pickings for Dragonite or Charizard. Both of these dragons (using the term colloquially for Charizard) are able to fly extremely high and fast, so would be able to swoop onto a Magikarp and eat it (still assuming that massive dragons are able to bite through a Magikarp’s bones, and digest them). TL;DR: Magikarp may be (at times) a difficult tough meal for some Pokemon, but easy pickings for others.
I’m very certain that Sandslash is one of the main predators of Raichu and Pikachu. Shrew’s occasionally eat mice, plus, ground is super effective against electric.
Although the anime mentioned that Magikarp are nothing but skin and bones, it's easy prey for predators such as Pidgeotto. I remembered in the trailer for Pokémon Snap 2, a Pidgeotto grabbed a Magikarp. You don't see those often. Bellsprout line probably prey on bug Pokémon, just like real life venus flytrap.
All Pokémon have been shown eating berries and the kibble-looking Pokémon food in the anime, so maybe all Pokémon are omnivores and only eat each other when there's no other options
I've always wanted you to do a series where you map out the food chain of the pokemon world(in a similar fashion to how you did the evolutionary tree)! Thank you so much for making this video and I hope that you can do it for all the other regions as well!

I was planning on making an etherian food chain and found this to look at for ideas, it's interesting. I'm thinking Galvants could be predators of the skies, koutsuki of the caves, and lucifyce for the tundra. The science part of make beleive creatures really is interesting.
There is absolutely no room for hate on this channel and thank you @birdkeepertoby for supporting LGBT content creators, you're one of the good ones, a true ally
Did you completely forget about magmar? I would guess that they'd have a decent match up in the volcano habitat. Likely beating both ninetales and arcanine
These deep dive into the ecosystem and food chain of kanto was really awesome. Going through all the Pokémon to see who would be the dominant predator was great. I’d love to see more of these for each region. It combines a fun Pokémon discussion of “who’s the strongest” with a real world theme of “survival of the fittest” and “the food chain.” This was excellent
I would like to see more of this with the other regions. And I have a feeling we're going to be seeing Gyarados pretty often in these since Magikarp are everywhere.
wait johto pokemon are included. in that case i'd have to go for either Houndoom(because its flames pain never goes away. which if you are howling in constant pain it'd be hard to fight back) or Tyranitar(because it can destroy entire mountain ranges; and snorlax can't do that) so if we are counting johto pokemon than i take back saying Snorlax is at the top of the food chain.
I liked this video in the first few seconds just because this is something I have thought about countless times. The relationships between Pokemon in the wild is one of my favorite things to speculate about
So here's a theory. If dratini really do hunt magikarp, maybe magikarp evolves to more closely resemble it's natural predator, as a bit of a defense mechanism. Then I guess dragonite becomes orange after it's pre-evolution eats enough magikarp or something...
Snorlax is definitely like an elephant or a sauropod. It eats mainly plants so that it can stay too massive for anything to eat it. But like a bear, it will hunt if it gets the chance. I bet it might swipe a Slowpoke if it catches it on land. Dragonite also feels like a beefed up Charizard, probably because it supplements it's diet with plants. Also it probably stays closer to shores since it's pre-evolutions live in water. Also that way it's territory doesn't overlap with that of Charizard who stay further in land.
this video reminds me of one i just saw where a quote from one of the gen 5 art guys talked about how upper management would choose and edit new pokemon based on the kind of environment they would be placed into before that i had seen people complain about how gen 8 games dont feel like the pokemon 'live' in the world and were basically just placed in 'because'
@Gabriel Mota maybe but once a chansey is killed then no more eggs, unless chansey flesh is even better.......... oh god, thats my nightmares for the next few weeks
I remember an episode in the anime where Snorlax tried to eat Misty's Goldeen. The more peculiar pokemon are always the most interesting. Of course everyone can tell that Gyarados or Arcanine eat the smaller pokemon in their ecosystems. But what about Magmar and Jynx or Machamp?
thats easy Mewtwo. if not counting legendaries, then probably snorlax its to fat and bulky to become prey and its pokedex entries say it will literally eat anything, so i think thats a pretty clear answer.
Actually, I don't think Mewtwo would be a very efficient predator. Sure, it's good at *killing* everything aound it, and the dex states it to be extremely agressive, but that's kind of the issue. It's a giant nuke of psychic energy, to the point I'm sure that nothing actually gets close to it (I mean, just look at where you can find it in the wild). But also, its anatomy is also extremely thin. Malnourished, even. I don't think it's widely known, but one of the signs of very heavy malnutrition due to lack of food is an all around slender body, but a massive belly, which are things Mewtwo are actually sporting, on top of its very thin neck that even needs a secondary tube just in order to support it's actually relatively small head compared to the rest of the body. So, IF Mewtwo is a predator, I'm actually inclined to think it's a very bad predator.
@@TieYourLaurenDown mewtwo doesn't need to eat to be at the top of the food chain. he's just there because no pokemon can prey on him(unless your a pack of genesect but those don't live in kanto)
@@TieYourLaurenDown I mean, everything needs nourishment in one way or another. We're just not sure what it is, though with the Mew family loosely looking like cats, it's not farfetched to suppose they're carnivorous creatures.
Snorlax is slow, its also not about the weakness. (Also can't tell if this is a joke or not) 4x weakness doesn't matter when we talk about strength here, charizard rarely comes in contact with its four times weakness, this also counts for dragonite and gyarados since gyarados doesn't live near power plants and dragonite doesn't live near cold regions.
You always think up original and interesting content, Toby. And if ever there were a poster child for respect and tolerance amongst a community, you'd earn that badge. Proud of you. And great work to you too, Prima Diva. 👍
Dragonite are nice pokemon who would more likey save pokemon than eat them. In the anime (spoiler alert) Ash has a Dragonite who cares alot about helping Pokemon and People. Sure the Dragonites are big, powerful dragons but, I don't really see them eating pokemon.
Nice Video... But there's always a catch... There are smaller Predators IRL that work together to hunt and eat larger things. Ants vs a Stick insect or Wolves vs a Bison. I'd love to imagine a group of smaller carnivorous Pokémon going after a Snorlax. It'd just be awesome to see that spectacle, if you know what I mean.
I have a theory that machamp is actually a specially evolved to be a terrestrial counterpart to grapploct which is more amphibious. Machamp being an ape makes less sense to me.
I honestly disagree, it'd easily be Gyarados, like, it's a flying type. We've also seen it fly. It has a mega. It's huge. Overall, Gyarados would be apex.
I always just assumed the starter finals were the apexes of forest sea and sky (/volcano come gen 2 onwards) and the professors stole their babies to give to ten year olds to pacify them for future generations. Like, one mom and pop charizard pair probably bullied half of kanto until Oak kicked their butt and stole their eggs to give out to children. A venasaur was probably decimating the veridian insect population and a blastoise leaving tentacruel and cloyster carcasses all over the beaches.
It's Pikachu and Charizard..... they're gods... but pretend to be lower because they're tired of all the worship..... but people can't help but worship them anyways...
Many Pokemon are surely Vegan. Probably even most. Just Berrys, Berrys, Berrys. I always feel like people forget this 'possibility', which is especially strange, seeing as how overwhelmingly likely it is.

Mr. Mime and Jynx eat people and you can’t change my mind. They eat those who couldn’t escape their caves
That's just terrifying!
Jynx and Frosslass are the wampas of the Pokémon world.
watching this video, I figured they were prolly hunter-gatherers like ancient humans were
@@BirdKeeperToby they are carnivorous 😅😅 and Jynx can live up to 40yrs 😶 I own the pokemon anatomy soooo if pokemon was real, I'd be running fast asf from a Jynx 😅
Awesome video idea! It’s amazing you’re supporting talented small channels!
Considering that Venusaur has multiple fangs, which basically only evolve to rip meat up, I'd assume it likely is a predator... which is horrifying
Like a giant bullfrog. Bullfrogs don't even have teeth but will eat anything they can over power. Venusaur's huge mouth could easily gulp down a Rattata
These videos are some of my favorite, cause it delves into Pokémon relations and such, and I find it fascinating! Would definitely love to see videos like this for other regions. Great video, Toby! Keep it up, you brilliant bird keeper!
Parasect: When the mushroom can no longer absorb nutrients from the host it must feed on the sap of trees.
Muk: Grimer; Griner enjoys nothing more than drinking filthy waste water. Because of this, Grimer can be used as a natural filtration device.
Gyaradose would be the apex. It can go wherever it likes, also being part flying type, can learn ice type moves, and is slightly faster than Dragonite. So in a 1 v 1, Gyaradose wins.
We all know it is bellsprout, I mean haven’t you seen it in the anime?
hahaha true
@@BirdKeeperToby I would SMACK like if you did Isle of Armor
Why else would he have a tower
I love that you shout out to other youtube channels!
Magikarp is the ultimate apex predator you can see the savagery and thirst for blood in its eyes
You so rightr!
Magikarp will consume your soul. Idk why Gamefreak didn't make magikarp a ghost type. It is sooo scary!!!!
Ahh, Magikarp. It’s impossible for humans to eat, due to the Pokemon being pure skin and bone. Unfortunately, it still wouldn’t be the apex predator. Cats are able to digest bone, if they can bite it into small enough pieces. We can assume pretty safely that Persian, maybe even Meowth, will be able to bite the Magikarp’s bones into small enough pieces to swallow and digest.
This is, of course, if they can catch them. Magikarp can (according to the pokedex) jump as high as a mountain, so it would be a tricky meal for Pokemon on the ground, but once it uses splash just once then it would be easy pickings for Dragonite or Charizard. Both of these dragons (using the term colloquially for Charizard) are able to fly extremely high and fast, so would be able to swoop onto a Magikarp and eat it (still assuming that massive dragons are able to bite through a Magikarp’s bones, and digest them).
TL;DR: Magikarp may be (at times) a difficult tough meal for some Pokemon, but easy pickings for others.
@@PansyPops lol I was joking 🙃😂
I’m very certain that Sandslash is one of the main predators of Raichu and Pikachu. Shrew’s occasionally eat mice, plus, ground is super effective against electric.
There's actually a comic about ditto transforming into different pokemon to protect its son which is a charmander it charges depending on its opponent
"Basic life form : just a mouth and a butt" Greatest life lesson 2020 by Bird Keeper Toby😅👍🏻👏🏻
Although the anime mentioned that Magikarp are nothing but skin and bones, it's easy prey for predators such as Pidgeotto. I remembered in the trailer for Pokémon Snap 2, a Pidgeotto grabbed a Magikarp. You don't see those often.
Bellsprout line probably prey on bug Pokémon, just like real life venus flytrap.
“Grab a snack while the intro plays!” Please don’t tempt me 😭
16:33 preadators tend to be lesser in population
Army ants: hold my beer
All Pokémon have been shown eating berries and the kibble-looking Pokémon food in the anime, so maybe all Pokémon are omnivores and only eat each other when there's no other options
I've always wanted you to do a series where you map out the food chain of the pokemon world(in a similar fashion to how you did the evolutionary tree)! Thank you so much for making this video and I hope that you can do it for all the other regions as well!
ayeee amazing well glad you like it :D
I can't wait to see the crown tundra verison!! Well if Toby does one.
@@BirdKeeperToby Many Pokemon are surely Vegan.
Probably even most.
Just Berrys, Berrys, Berrys.
I always feel like people forget
this 'possibility', which is especially
strange, seeing as how overwhelmingly likely it is.

First time I've heard of Prima Diva, but they are *chef's kiss* amazing
I was planning on making an etherian food chain and found this to look at for ideas, it's interesting. I'm thinking Galvants could be predators of the skies, koutsuki of the caves, and lucifyce for the tundra. The science part of make beleive creatures really is interesting.
There is absolutely no room for hate on this channel and thank you @birdkeepertoby for supporting LGBT content creators, you're one of the good ones, a true ally
This!!
What? There's Plenty of room for hate. Open your eyes.
Did you completely forget about magmar? I would guess that they'd have a decent match up in the volcano habitat. Likely beating both ninetales and arcanine
Snapping Turtles are Apexs of many habitats too cold for alligators. So Dreadmaw is likely a top predator of small lakes in Galor
I love this ecology video!! It's a shame you didn't continue this series
These deep dive into the ecosystem and food chain of kanto was really awesome. Going through all the Pokémon to see who would be the dominant predator was great. I’d love to see more of these for each region. It combines a fun Pokémon discussion of “who’s the strongest” with a real world theme of “survival of the fittest” and “the food chain.” This was excellent
Yess id love to see a video for the rest of the regions. And there’d be so much to cover with the four islands in alola like with three areas of galar
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu
I would like to see more of this with the other regions. And I have a feeling we're going to be seeing Gyarados pretty often in these since Magikarp are everywhere.
wait johto pokemon are included. in that case i'd have to go for either Houndoom(because its flames pain never goes away. which if you are howling in constant pain it'd be hard to fight back) or Tyranitar(because it can destroy entire mountain ranges; and snorlax can't do that) so if we are counting johto pokemon than i take back saying Snorlax is at the top of the food chain.
I liked this video in the first few seconds just because this is something I have thought about countless times. The relationships between Pokemon in the wild is one of my favorite things to speculate about
Prima is just as knowledgeable on the pokemon world as BKT. So happy to see this collab ❤
Mr.mime is actual just like humans,in the anime it's shown to cook clean and eat with is psychic powers to prepare food
So here's a theory.
If dratini really do hunt magikarp, maybe magikarp evolves to more closely resemble it's natural predator, as a bit of a defense mechanism.
Then I guess dragonite becomes orange after it's pre-evolution eats enough magikarp or something...
Good theory
Snorlax is definitely like an elephant or a sauropod. It eats mainly plants so that it can stay too massive for anything to eat it. But like a bear, it will hunt if it gets the chance. I bet it might swipe a Slowpoke if it catches it on land.
Dragonite also feels like a beefed up Charizard, probably because it supplements it's diet with plants. Also it probably stays closer to shores since it's pre-evolutions live in water. Also that way it's territory doesn't overlap with that of Charizard who stay further in land.
this video reminds me of one i just saw where a quote from one of the gen 5 art guys talked about how upper management would choose and edit new pokemon based on the kind of environment they would be placed into
before that i had seen people complain about how gen 8 games dont feel like the pokemon 'live' in the world and were basically just placed in 'because'
Ok but grammar?!
Most Pokémon are basically pets you battle with so makes sense that some are actually pets and get fed by their trainers
The thought of chansey is a little off, if you watch pokemon journeys you see chansey eggs come back quite quick after being given to kang
@Gabriel Mota maybe but once a chansey is killed then no more eggs, unless chansey flesh is even better.......... oh god, thats my nightmares for the next few weeks
@Gabriel Mota I really wanna eat a chansey right now, wonder if the shiny form tastes better???
I remember an episode in the anime where Snorlax tried to eat Misty's Goldeen.
The more peculiar pokemon are always the most interesting. Of course everyone can tell that Gyarados or Arcanine eat the smaller pokemon in their ecosystems. But what about Magmar and Jynx or Machamp?
thats easy Mewtwo.
if not counting legendaries, then probably snorlax its to fat and bulky to become prey and its pokedex entries say it will literally eat anything, so i think thats a pretty clear answer.
Maybe so ^_^
Actually, I don't think Mewtwo would be a very efficient predator. Sure, it's good at *killing* everything aound it, and the dex states it to be extremely agressive, but that's kind of the issue. It's a giant nuke of psychic energy, to the point I'm sure that nothing actually gets close to it (I mean, just look at where you can find it in the wild).
But also, its anatomy is also extremely thin. Malnourished, even. I don't think it's widely known, but one of the signs of very heavy malnutrition due to lack of food is an all around slender body, but a massive belly, which are things Mewtwo are actually sporting, on top of its very thin neck that even needs a secondary tube just in order to support it's actually relatively small head compared to the rest of the body.
So, IF Mewtwo is a predator, I'm actually inclined to think it's a very bad predator.
@@TieYourLaurenDown mewtwo doesn't need to eat to be at the top of the food chain. he's just there because no pokemon can prey on him(unless your a pack of genesect but those don't live in kanto)
@@TieYourLaurenDown I mean, everything needs nourishment in one way or another. We're just not sure what it is, though with the Mew family loosely looking like cats, it's not farfetched to suppose they're carnivorous creatures.
This was super interesting you should make more vids like this!
Ummm... not even halfway through the video I heard my dog snore super loudly. Imma have to take Arcanine out of contention real quick
Me: *rewinding five seconds on the jinx and mr. mime bit cause I didn't catch what he said*
Toby: Or maybe they just eat people-
Giant purple Snakey didn’t make the cut 🥺.. feels like sword and shield all over again 🥺....😂
I think the x4 weaknesses of dragonite, gyrados, and charizard take them out of contention. It’s snorlax
Snorlax is slow, its also not about the weakness. (Also can't tell if this is a joke or not) 4x weakness doesn't matter when we talk about strength here, charizard rarely comes in contact with its four times weakness, this also counts for dragonite and gyarados since gyarados doesn't live near power plants and dragonite doesn't live near cold regions.
This was amazing! Love this ecological approach! Keep them coming!
And now I'm so glad to discover PrimaDiva, have to check her channel!
I'd love to see more like this. I like these sorts of in depth lore vids
Love more of these these are really interesting!
You always think up original and interesting content, Toby. And if ever there were a poster child for respect and tolerance amongst a community, you'd earn that badge. Proud of you.
And great work to you too, Prima Diva. 👍
Dragonite are nice pokemon who would more likey save pokemon than eat them. In the anime (spoiler alert) Ash has a Dragonite who cares alot about helping Pokemon and People. Sure the Dragonites are big, powerful dragons but, I don't really see them eating pokemon.
A Charizard is like a 5 foot tall Komodo dragon with wings and fire breath, who thought giving a baby one of these to a 10 year old was a good idea?
2:50
Since Electabuzz and Electrode have teeth, it's possible that they do not just eat electricity.
Would love more of this you are amazing
Dragonite I'm sure spends as much time in the ocean as it does in the skies.
Nice Video... But there's always a catch... There are smaller Predators IRL that work together to hunt and eat larger things. Ants vs a Stick insect or Wolves vs a Bison. I'd love to imagine a group of smaller carnivorous Pokémon going after a Snorlax. It'd just be awesome to see that spectacle, if you know what I mean.
OMG I saw the title and yes, just yes... please do more of these!!!
I have a theory that machamp is actually a specially evolved to be a terrestrial counterpart to grapploct which is more amphibious. Machamp being an ape makes less sense to me.
“Grab a snack while the intro plays”
But I literally just finished a bag of Doritos…
Wouldn't Ditto be a copout for every region where Ditto can be encountered?
I think Mr mime and Jynx are omnivores they primarily eat vegetables but if they free meat they’ll take it
I honestly disagree, it'd easily be Gyarados, like, it's a flying type. We've also seen it fly. It has a mega. It's huge. Overall, Gyarados would be apex.
Can’t Gyarados fly though? It’s flying type after all
Ikr
So are a few other water types but their mainly based on ducks or other water fowls but there's some that can't fly
I always just assumed the starter finals were the apexes of forest sea and sky (/volcano come gen 2 onwards) and the professors stole their babies to give to ten year olds to pacify them for future generations.
Like, one mom and pop charizard pair probably bullied half of kanto until Oak kicked their butt and stole their eggs to give out to children. A venasaur was probably decimating the veridian insect population and a blastoise leaving tentacruel and cloyster carcasses all over the beaches.
This is the content I subbed for
Aw Yey ^_^
It's Pikachu and Charizard..... they're gods... but pretend to be lower because they're tired of all the worship..... but people can't help but worship them anyways...
weezing: eats gasses
gastly: *exists*
toby: i see no problem here
Aaaah I love the biology and science style theories, it's awesome! More would be great if you're not going to go slightly mad doing them!
