- Pokémon evolution results in some pretty interesting outcomes, but sometimes whether it makes sense or not there are huge jumps that can make you call the whole thing into question. So which top 6 Pokémon push the envelope just a bit too far and make you doubt the validity of evolution in this world? Let's find out!

I wonder why everyone is surprised with pikipeck’s evolution line? The closest living relative of the woodpecker are toucans. But the one that doesn’t make sense is fletchling’s line, IT EVOLVES FROM A ROBIN INTO A FALCON!
The funny thing is, according to the latest scientific studies, falcons (like Talonflame) are more closely related to passerines - songbirds basically (which includes robins like Fletchling) - than they are to other birds of prey like eagles or vultures. Actually, the closest relatives to falcons are currently believed to be parrots.
That nod probably wasn't intentional, but it's still interesting.
Well I guess game freak knows hiw to make there birds
They just look really alike though I mean fletchling and talonflame look the same
I like how he used that for the thumbnail but they aren't talked about in the video #clickbait
Wood peckers and toucans both have their prominent featuring being their beaks boom done explained
The remoraid line is also based on a joke by Japanese sailors.
What happened was fishermen who were trying to catch octopus would put a small fish in a pot and drop it down. Later when they retrieved the pots to find the octopus caught, they would joke that the fish turned into an octopus
Wait really?
@@r.j.penfold no
No remoraid is a revolver and octillery The artillery if u see the discarted sprites u can see it
@@Hi-gq3dn both those things can be true
Very interesting fact there. And we're talking Pokémon, come on. It's not like we tried to make sense out of why six egg-looking seeds evolved into a palm tree in the late 90s.
I highly doubt the Lilligant, Cottonee connection. Especially now that we know the Lilligant line originally was supposed to be a three stage line during development. I wish that were true cause more Lilligant’s make a better world.
Wait wait wait, Lilligant was supposed to be three stage Pokemon? Where did you read that?
@Gabriel Mota it came from an article from nintendo.
This one's actually the easiest one to understand, somehow the things head switched places or it was upside down, you can see how it could change to its evolved form
even if Lilligant didnt have a second stage planned emperor cubone's reasoning was still dumb, the 2 cotton balls go together, the small flower bud and the big flower go together, similar looking eyes dont mean anything people
@@An_Entire_Lime I hate to sound mean but that was the dumbest explanation I've ever heard. You'd have to be blind to think that they look similar in any way. And later in the vid he talks about the clampearl one being grasping at straws? When his explanation made thousands less sense than the other theory. That angered me so much.
See, the eye theory doesn't really hold much ground for me... since Whimsicott also has the same orange eyes. Suspecting them might've been part of a swap evolution by trade is just more complicated than it really needs to be.
Yeah and to me they look like they evolve normal
Not to mention cottonee is meant to look like a lamb head and whimsicot is based on a ram. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that petlil is based on a human toddler and lilligant is based on y’know a human adult?? Makes a lot more sense.
I think Togekiss looks like a pretty natural looking evolution of Togetic. The colors and general features are mostly the same, it becomes much more graceful and aerodynamic, and it's not like it's the only Pokémon to lose some limb access upon evolution.
*cough cough* Serperior *cough cough*
That design looks like it's arms went under its wings, if you look closely, the wings have grown and so have the arms, there just underneath, the wings
dragonair and dragonite should have been there before togetic and togekiss, when me and my brother first played firered we didn't know how to get one, first we thought it might actually be aerodactyls evolution and was surprised to know it was from dragonair
@@piretiris8223 it has its hands behind its back
@@derangedlunatic9191 well i thought that dragonair gonna evolvle to gyarados when i was little
12:08 “but if you ask me that’s just grasping at straws”
Okay mr. “Cottonee and Petillil were intended to be trade evolutions because their eyes are swapped”
This is why the video is bad. His points are him grasping the straw too hard
this video was whimsicottist and emperor cubone should be canceled for crimes against pokemon
@@An_Entire_Lime I also thought his reasoning for the Whimsicott and Lilligant was really stupid as well.
In the anime, when Gary explains why he wants to research pokemon, he specifically mentions "Remoraid and Octilarry are completely different when they evolve, which shows how much we dont know about Pokemon". So the anime acknowledges it and gives us an answer
Wait, saying "We don't know," is an answer?
@@emperorcubone yes I l mean that what scientist look at it it a miracle if it could not be explained by Science
@@emperorcubone you literally just tried to make an argument saying petil and whimsicott line are related. Which is grossly false. Since. Not only is your reasoning quite flawed itself. But you are factually wrong since it was confirmed that the petil line was supposed to be a 3 stage evolution. It was never related to the cottonee line to begin with.
@Tob the anime and games are separate continuities though, so that's not really Canon
I somehow didnt know it evolves into that.. i thought they both just didn’t have any evolutions for some reason ._.
Sorry to sound so harsh, but #3 is nonsense. The last thing we need is more specific trade evolutions, and having the same eyes does not make two Pokemon related. There's plenty I could say about the rest of the entries, but that was the most egregious offense and I had to say something. Except #2; that one I agree with. I'm a little surprised that Pikipek wasn't on here, especially considering the thumbnail.
I also agree with the Whimscott and Lilligant one, too. It made no sense to me at all, and was one of the weakest reasonings I've seen for an entry on any of the videos he's made.
Yeah remove #3 and replace it with the pikipek line maybe? Considering it was the thumbnail it not being here feels a bit like click bait
If forgot the poketuber that did it, but they actually explained why Pikipek to Toucannon makes sense. It basically boiled down to being of the same real world genus, or something of that nature. I was actually shocked to find out this information.
I also like how ignores petelis face but uses cotteenees face color as a justification
@@g11gamer15 you're probably thinking of Lockstin and Gnoggin
I haven't watched it yet but octillery better be in here
And Oshawott and Samurott
Octillery makes sense because of the beta designs, you can see it go from a gun (Remoraid) to a tank (Octillery)
Yeah I know but they should have scrapped octillery
@@roberteospeedwagon8178 yeah but they aren't in the beta version are they
@@serenitynow85 how? Do you forget dewott?
For me Clamperl is Fish Egg making the clam his house, then once it has scales and teeth to defend itself it gets out of the clam and become a fish/serpentine thing.
Both evos are eels, I think
clam*perl*
Like a pearl. Ya know, what clamperl is based off of.
@@GigaPangolin Yeah, like the pokemon is in the place of a pearl, not a literal pearl. Don't tell me Remoraid is a literal revolver. And it's essentially a clam egg, because that's where clams incubate their eggs, well not there exactly, just inside. And the fact that a clam egg evolves into fish is much less of a stretch than some other evolutions, I'm looking at you Pickipeck, don't think you evolving into a toucan makes much sense.
@@GigaPangolin look up what a mountain chicken is (if you haven't already)
@@dillonsomerville4729 Actually it makes a lot of sense: Woodpeckers as well as Toucans belong to the order of Piciformes.
So, basically the Galarian split evos, Perrserker and Runerigus are based on the Viking Invasions in the UK throughout history. Having researched Runerigus a bit, the location part of the evolution method would imply that the Dusty Bowl is where the stones to carve the runes were taken from. The runes itself are based on the Ingvar runestones, engraved by Vikings used to commemorate the lives of notable people and events, most of which discovered depict a Giant Serpent, most likely Jormungandr. In the case of pokemon, it would probably depict Eternatus. The 49 hp of damage seems to be a reference to Buddhism, where a soul takes 49 days to travel through Purgatory. Perhaps the yamask of those same vikings visited the very runes they left behind and were possessed by them, giving birth to Galarian Yamask. Its complicated, but makes some sense. Now, the real question is, how will they adapt this odd evolution method in the future?
Let's be honest, they'll drop it at the soonest available opportunity
Thank you for actually helping educate people, I hope everyone reads your comment instead of just dismissing these designs! But mind it’s the UK or Britain rather than just England though (us in Scotland, Ireland and Wales get forgotten 😅)
@@melbapeach162 You’re welcome. Apologies for just saying England, was being generalistic. Will update it
@@ttwerewolf4699 I honesty appreciate that ☺️
I think he really should research the design origins before criticizing them.
I honestly think that the whole theme that the Togepi line had going for it was the hatchling theme. If that’s the case, then it’s evolution line would make since, the line would go egg (Togepi), baby bird (Togetic), adult bird (Togekiss).
Edit: Also (unrelated to the list but it still feels important that I get this out there) the Pikipek evolution line makes complete sense if you do some research. Woodpeckers and toucans belong to the same order of Piciformes, so it would make sense for the woodpecker Pikipeck to evolve into the toucan Toucannon
clam turns into eel. emperor cubone: This makes no sense!!
clam turns into treasure chest. emperor cubone: This makes perfect sense!!
Thank you! Somebody else gets it!
@@emperorcubone He wasn't agreeing with you, he was paraphrasing how you prefer changing an object from animate to inanimate over, say, a clam turning into a bigger and better clam.
r/whooooosh
@@bubbykins4864 😂😬. Yeah he missed that
A clam is a small thing with a valuable item inside it.
A treasure chest is a large thing with many valuable items inside it
The Vikings left left runes all over the Britain, runes were used as graves for fallen Vikings. Runes are also known as magical artifacts, so them taking over yamask isn't too farfetched.
When I first saw remoraid I thought it evolved into Martine because you know it carries them
me too
Same😂
Auto correct meant to say mantine
Fun fact: Mantyke only evolves into Mantine if you have Remoraid in the party.
@@SeanWheeler100 wait really
Octillery: "I don't want to turn into a tank!"
The fanbase: "It would be a lot cooler if you did."
"Please Gamefreak, don't turn me into a tank!"
Fan base: be a lot cooler tho if ya did
For me I've always found the Dragonite line very jarring. The first two stages are blue serpents, then suddenly they become a big, orange dragon? Too much of a drastic change imo. If Dragonite had kept the same color palette at least I think it would be been better, but it literally looks nothing like its previous two stages
Yeah. There is nothing that connected them. They should've kept the eyes and the color scheme at least
It's so confusing that even the anime protagonists acknowledge that it's weird. 😂
Maybe they figured that the only existing Dragon type family at the time should have a member that better resembles what most people would think of as a dragon? Granted, Eastern dragons are long and thin as well (see: Rayquaza), but they usually aren't as slender and smooth as Dratini and Dragonair, don't completely lack arms and legs, nor do they usually live in water.
@@Compucles You're correct for the most part, but many Eastern dragons actually DO live in water. In Asian folklore, dragons are usually associated with the weather (mostly rainfall and typhoons) thanks to their ability to control the water element. They were also worshipped as rain gods in ancient times :)
Yes that would be number 2 on my list after Remoraid to Octillery
Were you high when you wrote the Petillil and Cottonee part?
He must've been on lots of Calcium. (if you're a TyranitarTube fan you'll get that joke)
@@DaSheepKiller I do. And he probably was. Cubone didn't put much thought into this. The Cottonee and petilil one pissed me off.
@@cyrus6461 yeah that's gotta be the biggest reach I've ever seen. Not even Piccolo or Lanky Kong can stretch that much.
@@DaSheepKiller first off, O O F !
Secondly, when he shows all four of them together, Whimsicott has orange eyes. Also Cottonee and Lilligant look nothing alike. Same with Petilil and Whimsicott.
All Cottonee did was get a bigger body, the leaves turn into horns, and more fluff.
Petilil gets bigger, grows arms, and gets a pretty hat and dress.
Whimsicott is my fourth favorite mon. My fluffy baby! And he has to bash on it!
Team lineup is Drapion, Tsareena, Mawile, Whimsicott, Torterra, and Gardevoir. BIG weakness to Poison, Fire and ice. And Mawile and Drapion are dead to ground.
@@cyrus6461 plus it was also confirmed that petil was supposed to be 3 stage line. Further making it different then the whimscicott line.
The anime Clamperl with another pearl, was actually a Spoink pearl.
Which is the focus of that episode.
But in the games Clamperl does have Pearl as a hold item which you can take from it... so are you taking the baby head, or is there another, third kind of pearl hiding somewhere?
I don't think a Pokemon essentially changing animal species is in itself an evolution that "makes no sense", if for no other reason than that's actually what a LOT of Pokemon do. Seriously, none of the regional birds are the same species at the end of their line, even the ones that look the most consistent. But the examples in the video are pretty weird, probably because they're way more divergent than normal.
That is the point because wouldn't a small bird , medium bird and then a big bird they are made into a closely related bird rookidee is a corvid and corviknight is a corvid too
Gorebyss kinda makes sense. It seems to primarily be the actual 'pearl' grown up. It even still has the shells still as part of its body.
Huntail only thing common with it is the shell color. Its probably the shell itself evolving and absorbing the pearl into itself or something. Which is why it has radically different features.
So basically the clam and pearl are their own entities and the item promotes one or the other to evolve.
That actually makes a lot more sense!
Your argument for cottonee and petilil switching definitely isn’t valid considering whimsicott also has the orange eyes and both petilil and cottonee have the white face as well as petilil having the leaves on its head
Luvdisc not evolving into Alomomola still bothers me.
Idc if they are based from different species of animals. Its a fantasy world ffs!
there's also tauros buffalaunt. and the Gen3 flying rocks and mineor.
as well as the lack of baby pokemon to connect the Gen3 fireflies, flying rocks and generic electric rodents together...
Just because 2 thing look similar doesn't mean they are related
Look at dolphins for example, Dolphin and Orcas look like just giant fish, yet they are all mammals
Meanwhile Seahorse look nothing like a fish, but they still are fish
All spiders and scorpions could be easily confused with insects, yet they aren't
And all fungus were believe to be plants, even tho they are not and are actually more closely related to animals
Alomomola and Luvdisc could just be examples of convergent evolution in the Pokemon world
@@jvbon646 Thank you. Finally someone gets it.
@@jvbon646 Well, on the other hand there are pokemon evolving into each other despite the animals which they're inspired by not having a lot in common (remoraid and octillery being the most egregious example). Also, but that just might be me, it's just annoying to see such a lack of new evolutions for pre-existing pokemon ever since gen 5 despite the potential being there. To me that's just a lot more interesting than making a whole lot of standalone pokemon that can't even evolve.
Here's the problem tho, aside from them being Pure water type pink fish that have the ability hydration(And even that's is a stretch since Hydration is Luvdisc's hidden ability and Hydration is Alomomola's Secondary Ability, also pokemon sharing abilities is nothing new), they don't share the same themes.
Luvdisc is a small Discus fish/Kissing Gourami that's themed around romance. Alomomola, however, is a Mola Mola/Doctor Fish based around Motherly love or even a Nurse/Doctor Theme (Given its wide array of healing moves, it's Abilities and even the heart representing Good health or health in general rather than love).
The Love one gives to a romantic partner is far different than the love a mother has for a child, so the love similarity Luvdisc and Alomomola are often compared with already falls flat. But even then, Luvdisc has nothing relating to the Doctor/Nurse theme Alomomola has.
one of the most aggressive “NEXT TIME!”s in TH-cam history
There are theories that I've seen that clampearl is actually an egg so it becoming fishes makes sense, it is just a theory thought but it can explain it. Also i have always imagined the togekiss line were going from egg, to young bird, and fully adult bird
The Pokemon Sapphire Pokedex entry implies that Clamperl is something inside the Clam, and not the clam itself, so you could be right.
Sapphire “CLAMPERL grows while being protected by its rock-hard shell. When its body becomes too large to fit inside the shell, it is sure evidence that this POKéMON is getting close to evolution.”
So the Clam shell is more like armor that it will eventually outgrow
I am confused the whole yamask having a piece of stone thing makes perfect sense. Sure it might be a bit less than holding its own face, but holding a memorial gravestone plank (I forget what they were called but the things Vikings did) still makes sense. Both are around the death.
Clamperl is actually a fish egg inside of a clam.
if slowbro isn't on this i'm gonna eat my hat
update: currently eating my hat and grumbling that slowbro's tail looks nothing like a cloyster, nor do you need a cloyster in your party to evolve it
Well, back in Gen 1, they didn't yet have the game mechanics in place that would've allowed for a complete fusion evolution like that. (Then they couldn't do it for Slowking or for the Galarian forms in order to be consistent with the original Slowbro. If the Slowpoke family had been introduced in a later generation, yeah they probably would require you to actually fuse a Slowpoke with a Shellder like with Kyurem or Calyrex.
The rpg barracuda is a good idea mind if I use it
Not at all! It'd be supper cool!
we already have a recently made barracuda that is merged with a weapon (skewer/needle) but maybe an rpg dolphin...or eel would be sick
@@timurtheking that sounds cooler than the first idea
Emperor Cubone learn to spell, it’s super
@@SkimBee Dude lay off it was a mistake
There’s so many Pokémon evolution lines that could be fixed with a middle stage.
And a couple that could be fixed by making the middle stage the final evolution and then tweak the stats and when the level up happens for balance. (But I just really dislike 'add another face' as an evolutyion trope. In some designs it works well enough - Doduo -> Dodrio, or Deino -> Zweilous, but where that doesn't feel baked into one or more of the designs concept, like with Vanillish -> Vanilluxe? Not a fan)
A couple two-stage lines did have a middle or final stage. There was originally a lime green duck-like Pokémon called Weirduck that would bridge Psyduck and Golduck together.
*Cubone makes a jab at Totodile's evolution line's logic*
Me: "OI WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT LOGIC!"
I found it pretty stupid considering we've had Salamanders turn into Dragons, Snakes into Cobras, Turtles into Tortoises and Carps into Dragons in the 1st Gen
And literally the only difference between crocodiles and alligators are their jaws. You can easily confuse the two if you know nothing about them.
Galarian Yamask was a major missed opportunity. I can't understand why they didn't use the famous Saxon burial helm as inspiration for the new mask, it fits the theme perfectly and they wouldn't even have to change Runerigus.
6:56 What does being competitive has to do with you forgetting which one is which? I'm not into competitive side either but I remember which one is which, it might be because I like Petilil and Liligant (some of my favorite gen 5 pokemon) but I still don't think whimsicott is that forgettable either, they're not that similar, unlike other pokemon.
Well before the Fairy type I just meant that Prankster making it better in competitive would be the main way people could tell it apart if they did favor either of them...
This is moreso evolutions you don’t like rather than ones that don’t make sense, all of these have explanations as to why the evolution makes sense
THANK YOU this is so on point! Togekiss and Rhyperior are totally fine
@@yamirami8642 No, they are not...
@@thomast7794 To each their own. The only complaints about them I've ever seen is their presence in VGC
Like Dragonair to Dragonite should be on there but it's not simply because people like their designs
@@yamirami8642 Rhyperior is absolutely awful.
Octillery's artillery origin is also reflected on its incredibly diverse movepool. That's not enough, however, and the design should have been given a different prevo in my opinion
This video is a stretch
Sapphire’s pokedex entry kind of implies that clamperl is in the shell, not the shell itself, and that it evolves because it has outgrown its shell. So, technically Clamperl could be an eel in a shell
It's a tongue? That's somehow even worse...
@@emperorcubone i'd imagine like how a dwebble is always wearing a rock or how farfetch'd always have a leak.
Clamperl IS a fish egg, some real life fish lay their eggs in clams to protect them
I like the idea of Clamperl being an egg. It's a simple case of mistaken identity. coming across something really shiny and cool underwater only to find out it was not what you think it was. Like finding a gelatinous blob on the beach only to find out it's a jellyfish or swimming past some rocks underwater only for one of them to open up and reveal it was a giant clam. An egg being mistaken for a pearl does make a lot of sense especially since a lot of animal eggs can be mistaken for other things.
While they have no relation, the running thing between remorras and octopus is suction cups. Remorras have a suction cup on their head, so I guess the thought process was that the best upgrade of a fish with a suction cup was something with a lot of them: an octopus.
You know that's actually the first time I've heard someone try that defense. If more people used it that might help sway opinion...
I came to the comments to post this idea but you beat me to it lol
i feel like it would be more obvious if remoraid actually had a suction cup on its head but it doesn’t
@@emperorcubone did anyone correct you on saying dragonite instead of dragonair?
Honestly I 100% disagreed with the Petilil and Cottonee theory until I saw their thumbnail sprites (Forgot what they're called). So I can kiiiinda see what Emperor Cubone's saying. I still mostly disagree though because Cottonee and Whimsicott, to me, look like grass sheep in a way. I always thought the things on Cottonee that Emperor referred to as leaf arms were ears and made it look more lamb-like.
I'm pretty sure they are referencing the "Vegetable Lamb of Tartary" an old medeval belief that cotton was wool from a sheep that grew on a plant
@@1313puredragon That's pretty cool! Love the pokemon with obscure trivia
I completely disagree with this theory. First of all, Petilil's face is also white, so bringing that up has no real relevance to evolution. Also, there was an interview where it was stated that they scrapped a middle evolution from the Petilil line, which to me further proves that these Pokemon did not have their evolutions swapped
Just because Im a plant and lilligant is a plant doesnt mean we're related, thats grass-typeist
@@1313puredragon cool, more me trivia
cottonee is literally a unripen cotton fluff as you can see with it being tinged alittle green while whimsicott is a ripe cotton fluff as you can see with the white coloring of the cotton i understand petlil might have been more related to whimsicott but cottonee is more related to whimsicott so pettlil has to be related to it's flowery adult stage
Censors Remoraid cuz its a water gun...
Gigantamax Blastoise is fine tho.

Don't forget about Gigantamax Inteleon: it's literally holding an actual rifle made of water!

I really like Toucanon bc toucans are close relatives of common woodpeckers.
But I really wish the middle stage was visually leaning towards a toucan.
If galarian yamask is a species, some artist had to paint the same rune for it to supply a species worth of pokemon.
Remoraid meant to look like a gun but was censored
Blastoise literal double cannons
Haha, good point! But maybe they got a warning after that...
Lol
Blastoise's cannons don't look like real life cannons, though. It's like how Western cartoons (and even the Western version of the NES Zapper) used to require unrealistic designs (that usually shot lasers or something like that) with their guns.
@@Compucles ok... It's a joke...
"Why would you trade hands for wings and legs for just feet?"
Throwing shade at the first birds, I see
You talked about Pikipek and Toucannon.
So, What about Carvanha and Sharpedo? Why a piranha should evolve into a shark? They are too different
Woodpeckers and toucans belong to the same order, Piciformes. Pikipek turning into Toucannon is less "nonsensical" than Starly (a passeriform songbird) turning into Staraptor (an accipitriform bird of prey).
The water steel chest idea was really cool, I'd really love to see a regional variant of a Clamperl like that someday if possible
11:28 yes I love dragonite, the "blue sea serpent"

This person is into yoga cuz that was a stretch
@@JosephJohnson-gu5fw true haha, he's like this pokemon has thin red eyes but then both of the evolutions have orange eyes. Also how exactly would you swap cotton as a plant? It's attached to your body, like cmon

Oh yeah, got deleted from the earlier post but to me it would've made 100x more sense if Gorebyss evolved from Luvdisk (especially since Alomomola crazily doesn't) as a joke on how love can become beautiful but cruel.
They could've then modified Huntail to be more an angler fish-eel with features/colors that carried over more from Clampearl (like the pearl now being a lure like on Lanturn, and being used to draw prey into its clamping mouth)
Wow, yeah. I could see Luvdisc being connected in that way. Never thought about it but it could work!
In my opinion that cottenee theory is too bare bones to be have much weight
Remoraid never really made sense to me when I started playing in gen 4. I honestly thought it didnt evolve until I got the national dex.
I’ve always assumed that clamper has fish eggs that will evolve once you give it the right item 😅😅 on another note big congrats on 80K subs!! I still remember when I first found your channel thanks to the top 6 problem series time sure flies fast
So then what happens to the original Clamperl? It's not like it gets cast off to become another Pokémon like Shedinja or incorporated into the evolution design like the Shellder on all the Slowpoke evolutions.
@@Compucles i don’t know it leaves it behind maybe?
Runerigus is a rune stone, an old viking tombstone
Just like how cofagrigus is a sarcophagus
The difference is Runerigus has nothing to do with an actual deceased person like would be in a sarcophagus, but is explicitly stated as some form of curse that has overwritten the existing ghost, so I'm not convinced all vikings were witches...
Plus vikings were pagan and believed in curses.
Actually, pikipek evolving into toucannon makes perfect sense because woodpeckers and toucans belong to the same bird order (Piciformes) and are closely related. So the preview for a video is a clickbait.
I don't think you know what clickbait means.
Yeah... But you know what else is in the same order? Walruses and tigers. So I don't know that "order" is he best conenction to use...
Actually nooo. Clickbait this is not
Ohhhhhhhh you just got burned
Thank you for bringing this up, I was about to say this, but clearly I was beaten to the punch.
We did get an angel pokemon since then, isn't it what ultra Necrozma supposed to be? A fallen angel?
Ok the cottenee, petill theory is something to say the least. I cant see how you can see that
Emperor cubone:features terlard and grozard
Me:Pokémon uranium music intensifies
The Lilligant & Whimsicott connection has gotta be the biggest stretch I've seen since, well, the Venonat & Butterfree connection.
the venonat and butterfree at least looked like it could be true, it just wasnt, this is just offensive
@@An_Entire_Lime Yeah, people were actually convinced by the Venonat thing, but not this. Also with your username I can see why it offended you lol.
Honestly that killed the video for me. There's a clear difference. Cotton for the cottonee line and LITERALLY THE SAME COLOR SCHEME FOR PETILIL'S LINE. He cherrypicked details that don't matter and completely forgot about the most important details they possess
some of these are based on upgrades and interesting history
Remoraid evolving into octillery is a pistol evolving into a tank.
Yamask and Meowth's evolutions are based on the viking wars and invasions in UK.
petilil and cottonee are plants (Petilil is an onion bulb evolving into garlic and Cottonee is a cotton ball evolving into a Cotton plant.)
the togekiss lines are based on Doves and young birds (Togepi is the egg, Togetic is the chick and togekiss is a dove)
Dugtrio has always been lazy
Clampearl is actually the EGG (The pink pearl in the middle) and the "Bivalve" is a shell.
Pikipek line does make sense if you think about it. In addition to woodpeckers and toucans being in the same Order, toucans make holes dug out by woodpeckers their nests.
You'd think we'd have gotten a regional variant for Clamperl to evolve into a traditional treasure chest/Mimic creature from D&D that is Water/Steel. That would have been awesome!
I don’t know why a Woodpecker would evolve into a Toucan
Because they are actually closely related and belong to the same family

Jk, everyone!
Pokémon is weird overall, but I love it
10:38 I've been A fan of pokemon for a few years, but I have NEVER seen this pokemon before wtf.
Hah! Right? It's super under the radar...
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if new people to Pokémon didn’t know clamperl, considering that it didn’t make the dex cut. I only remember it because I was a hardcore gen 3 child
i remembered them being the most common underwater pokemon in gen 3, and also because their bizarre evolutions
A lot of Pokemon evolutions legitimately makes sense, but all of the Pokemon you covered makes no logical sense
Irl metamorphosis is weird
Caterpillars can look drastically different from their moth or butterfly stages
On one side of the spectrum evolutions that feel like they “belong” make sense but on another side ....idk Pokémon are weird
I think a caterpillar should evolve into a snake to keep the design continuity
With clamperl i always believed that the shell part,with better physical abilities, evolved into huntail, while the soft pink inner part evolved in the more specially based gorebyss
I figured out why I love your vids!! In your last few lines you of this vid it all made sense, you really sound like dexter! Maybe more gen 3 anime dexter when the voice less robotic but that's awesome!
It's like having a sassy pokedex!
11:28 Yes. Dragonite. My favorite sea serpent.
11:28
Dragonite??
"Dragonite"
Love the Pokemon Uranium shoutout with the Grozard/Terlard line!
When I was younger I thought Luvdisc evovled into Gorebyss. And to this day, I still think it makes more sense than Clamperl. Where that puts Huntail, I have no clue.
It actually make sense that togitic would lose its stubs when evolving because it's trying to focus on it's wing to be a faster at flying. Also rhyperior looks like rhydon.
Yeah I disagreed with him also on these two. They both make total sense to me
@@lifeinsidekyoto6553 I honestly don't get how Rhyperior doesn't look like Rhydon, it's essentially just a bulkier version of Rhydon. With some orange.
Ok, to get started on your #6 entry, I'm a bit disappointed. At first I thought you added it as a red herring, but no. Maybe you feign ignorance for content, but as a pokétuber, you really SHOULD know this, so I'll tell you:
Remoraid is based on a Remora. Remoras are known for attaching themselves to larger sea creatures, just like how remoraid can be seen attached to a Mantine. How do they attach themselves? I'll give a clue: Remoras are also known as suckerfish, because of their use of a suction cup. What sea creature is most associated with suction cups? Octopus. There's no coincident that Remoraid, a remora, evolves into Octillery, an octopus. It doesn't make sense in real world taxonomy, but there's clearly a thematic connection beyond "military weapons" and "lives in water".
Underrated comment
*cough* frogs undergo metamorphosis and its more weird than most of these *cough*
You had a theory so I'm debunking one, go back and crack open the ds again and use waterium z against dugtrio. Its not the huge monster that everyone memes about. Lol
I'm not sure that's quite the "end of the story" as it were with Dugtrio, but I agree; it's not a giant monster like some might imagine...
NO YOU CANT JUST RIP THE FUR OF A BUG AS EASILY AS A SHELL FROM A SMALL CREATURE WITH A HORN IF YOU DONT EVEN HAVE A HORN WHICH IS BESIDES THE POINT
These weren't the best picks by a long shot. In my opinion, of course.
Did you know...
The fitness gram pacer test is a multi stage Aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues
I'm really happy they Whimsicott wasn't a trade evolution.
Emperor cubone: why would you go from wings, hands, and legs to just wings and feet?
Chickens everywhere: am I a joke to you?
I actually love Togekiss so much. I always hated Togetic and I always rushed to evolve it into Togekiss.
Togetic is cute, but Togekiss is far stronger and has better level up moves. So I think your decision is justified
I think Octillery looks more like a turret than Remoraid looks like a gun
Remoraid has the silhouette of a gun, sure, but Octillery has the silhouette of a turret as well as the actual barrelesque mouth, and kinda looks militarylike in some ways

Thank you for telling me this! I had no idea
It is confirmed that petilil was going to be a 3 stages evolution line
source?
@@samandadras998 Plenty, it's pretty well known. Dr Lava has info on it but I think it's also on bulbapedia
I was wondering what the best moves on Smeargle would be.
Maybe that's an idea for a video.
With Sketch, Smeargle could learn nearly every move.
You could give it the most powerfull moves available, but would that really be an optimal strategy.
It is still a normal type, so maybe stab moves instead.
You could also give it a moveset to counter it's weaknesses.
Or as a support Pokémon, there are plenty of moves it could learn that help an already strong attacker.
Maybe just give it Transform, the easy way out.
There are so many options with a Smeargle, too bad it's not in Sword/Shield.
Smeargle has been pretty good in VGC (especially in gen 6 and below) because of its support. It used to be able to use Dark Void, and double sleep is overpowered.
I can safely say the best strategy is support. It has a decent speed stat while literally every other stat can only be considered bad, so much that even if it could use explosion repeatedly it still wouldn't be particularly good. The only way it could deal damage would be through mixing atk stats with the opponent and separately boosting your own, which considering your defensive stats is off the table as well.
As for transform, ditto and mew do it better. Mew can block, imprison and transform with the bulk to pull it off and higher hp and speed. While ditto has imposter.
Spore + hazards is usually the way to go with smeargle since it's something it can do reliably for a team and putting stuff to sleep at 100% accuracy is very useful regardless. Especially when you're throwing webs and rocks on their side. As for vgc or doubles, the nerf on dark void and making it only work for darkrai certainly hurts smeargle as a whole.
I always like the idea of Dark Void, Lock-on, Sheer Cold, and Metal Burst while holding a Focus Sash.
@Gabriel Mota Oh yeah, so Spore over Dark Void now.
Sheer Cold is plenty good with 100% accuracy (which yes is how Lock-on works), especially if you put the opponent to sleep first, as you only need to worry about the opponent waking up as early as possible, and Pokémon with sleep or powder immunity or the Sturdy ability.
Well, it's not like Smeargle has any better attacking options if you can't use the above OHKO combo on them. Metal Burst will at least do a good chunk of damage. Maybe Seismic Toss is better at L100. Alternatively, you could go with a support move like Thunder Wave, Wish, Stealth Rock, Trick Room, a weather move, etc. Maybe Reversal after the Focus Sash has been triggered.
@Gabriel Mota It depends on the format. It's certainly not banned in Battle Spot.
Some lines look like they were designed separately and someone said "oh lets let this guy evolve into that guy" just to give more evolutionary lines.
That's what happened with Wartortle and Blastoise.
Pikipek’s evolutionary line I would say makes perfect sense. Woodpeckers and toucans are all members of the Piciform order of birds. They also include other birds like honeyguides and barbers too. I didn’t understand the evolutionary line at first but after research it makes sense, and I would say it’s pretty creative. Toucannon I think is really under appreciated. Along with Staraptor and Corviknight, they’re my favourite early route birds. Although Talonflame and Pidgeot are also good ones to use too.
Oh look, another video where I get to comment about my hate of Lickilicky. For people who haven't seen my deep and profound hatred for Lickillicky. Everything except it's stats are weaker (Meaning gameplay-wise it's stronger, anatomically however that makes no sense.) It's torso gets larger and rounder, and it's limbs get smaller, looses it's joints and turn into stubs, even the tongue. The Pokemon's main deal is it's longer tongue and it gets shorter while it's body gets larger. Thankfully they stopped tacking on these awful extra evolutions to pre-existing pokemon, gen 4 was a mess for it. Now back to my dark corner to seethe about Lickilicky until the next time it becomes relevant.
Any chance to hate on Lickilicky is a gift!
Girl- did he call dragonair a dragonite? 11:28
I mean if people were once fish and apes than this is barely a jump lol
No Samurott? That' it, I'mma riot!
Nope! We got Cottenee and Petilil instead.
Mhh..you do realize that Clampearl really is an egg where the fish hatch from when evolving 🤔🤔🤔
05:10 I like your videos but this section felt REALLY ignorant. Rune stones are very symbolic and important, they are essentially gravestones, often used to honour fallen tribesmen, the engravings representing their story, tribe and offer their soul protection. Destruction of these stones will lead to a curse on your soul and lineage which explains the broken ‘rubble’ as you call it and the connection to a haunted soul. Clearly the designers did their research with this design, I wish you’d do the same. 🙁
I know right? :0
A lot of his points are ignorant and if someone calls him out on it in the comments he usually gets very defensive lol
@@joj5150 thanks for the warning 😟👍
Ayo this mans spitting
You missed eggicute and eggitor
6 eggs turning into a coconut tree
And Magikarp and Feebas evolving into sea serpents.
Woodpeckers and toucans are in the same family even if they’re different species.
