Oh, great, more Pokemon based on inanimate objects... or are they? What is Revavroom based on? What is Varoom based on? And what is up with Team Star and their STARMOBILES? Surely these questions will be answered in this video.

00:00 Is Revavroom an Object Pokemon?
01:57 Building with FanHome
03:13 Why Varoom?
05:17 A Rubberhose Pokemon?
07:02 Revavroom! A Yokai?
10:10 The STARMOBILES!
Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - เกม
Really wish it was possible to use the Starmobiles or their moves in battle
Im still holding out hope for a mystery gift for revavroom with those moves, but considering how insane some of their side effects are it might never happen
Same here. Speed Boost on Revavroom would be nice.
The fact that it doesn’t learn u-turn is pretty messed up too imo 😂 my guess would be the original Japanese name probably isn’t a word that also refers to cars like the English one is but still, would have fit and made revavroom quite a bit more viable competitively!
you can actually use the moves, look it up i forgot how but i think you have to talk to the Star leader you want the move from (after beating them) if you have Revavroom in the team i think it works again look it up if im wrong
@@wispyfox6854 youre completely wrong unfortunately, the move doesnt even have a written description so its likely intended to never be used outside of the one star battle
The person who designed Varoom and Revaroom also created Toxel, Toxtricity, and Falinks.
So they know how to create cool and cute little guys
Well at least they created 2 good designs. Those Gen 8 Pokemon were terrible, but that goes for most of the Galarian Pokemon.
I noticed a pattern in that lineup... then I saw Falinks lol.
I was gonna point out too but you beat me lol. And yeah that's Yusuke Kozaki, one of the Fire Emblem artists who designed these Pokemon. It's honestly amazing how great he designed creatures too! :0
Don't forget Cetoddle and Cetitan too!
@@TheFirstCurse1 I liked them more then Revaroom, though it was also pretty fun.
Being honest, I'm stunned it took THIS LONG to get a car Pokemon and I actually kinda wanted one. Revavroom is about as great as I could've hoped, though I'm actually surprised it wasn't a ghost car. Maybe a regional form some day
I mean before Varoom/Revavroom I remember seeing a Pokemon in Galar that drives around with wheel(s)and that was Rolycoly. Maybe they like that design so much they made this version as well as it's evolution to make up for Rolycoly's final evolution!
I remember Ken Sugomori did an interview that was featured in an Ultra Sun/Moon guide book using a hypothetical car Pokémon to describe the process of how a Pokémon is created/designed.
I would like it better if we could actually put it in a car the way team star does
Well Stephen King was born in Maine which is close to NY. Perhaps we'll see one in a Unova remake?
Its morbid to think a pokemon inhabits a lawn mower engine after getting run over it and chopped up.
Rotom mow.
Pokémon has always had morbidity in certain places.
My hubby almost got killed as an early teen by a go-kart while riding one himself; a man rear-ended him full speed and the seatbelt cut part of his neck (avoided the jugular and windpipe narrowly, he still has the scar)
If anyone is wondering why it isn’t a ghost type FROM A LORE PERSPECTIVE, well rotom loses its ghost typing when possessing an object, so it can be assumed taking on that physical form disqualifies a Pokemon from ghost typing
Why doesn't it have levitate then?
@@gregorymirabella1423 I’m not claiming that varoom is a rotom form, just a similar situation
it's probably not ghost type because the designers wanted a steel poison type pokemon. who can blame them? there wasn't a steel poison type before, and there needed to be one
@@big__shell I was talking from a lore perspective and not a gameplay perspective
... So...
Corsola-G
Cofagrigus
Polteageist
Gimmighoul Chest
Dhelmise
?
I get Pokémon like Decidueye, Golurk, Aegislash and the like as Ghost is their secondary so they can just have it as an afterthought or have ghost powers and aren't ghosts themselves.... but the ones I listed up top are Pure and Primary typed Ghost types with physical bodies or possessing a physical object..... but even then... Aegislash is a sword possessed by a spirit and it's still Ghost type. So is Golurk. It's a spirit-inhabited golem and it's still Ghost type.
I don’t mind if it’s an object Pokemon. The line itself is pretty cool.
I thought of an idea I had for an RC Helicopter Pokemon in the vein of Magnemite and Beldum where it could get more helicopter rotors with the final evolution being a drone.
Autogyro, tiltrotor, and quadcopter. Could even be good as a speedy glass cannon of a pseudo-legendary.
Ok, that actually sounds cool
Are you saying that you hate object Pokemon then?
@@TheFirstCurse1 misworded it.
@@IronDino I could see a Middle East region centred around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers with these guys; given the drone was invented by an Iraqi-born named Alexander Karam.
"The OG object pokemon voltorb" How can you just be disrespecting Magnemite like that. It's #81, voltorb is #100 XD
They're all OG object pokemon Stuart.
Although…not to be THAT guy, but…
MagneMITE may actually be based on the critter in the latter part of its name, just with objection making it up. A mite made of magnets, if you will…
@@gamemasteranthony2756It’s just called “Coil” in Japan, so I highly doubt that.
@@bobalinx8762 Really? How the drek does a ball with two magnets get called COIL?!?
@@gamemasteranthony2756Because of the coil of wire in an electromagnet.
"Like, Persona just turned it into a possessed car"
Lockstin, that's from Devil Summoner. Specifically Raidou vs the Soulless Army
I personally love the symbolism behind the line's hidden abilities: working on a slow starting fixer-upper engine and your work paying off with a good one that has a better filter system.
I also want to point to its movepool in how it sticks to the wheeled vehicle theme. *Overheating* engine, *Spin out*, Kicking up dust like a *sandstorm* come *rain or shine*, Lots of gas moves because of exhaust, *shifting gear* and making a loud *uproar*, and lots of full body tackle moves because it's going to crash into things
8:01 That’s not Persona, that’s Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army.
Oh the things Sophocles could build this mon into.
Clemont as well and he closer.
i just noticed 7:00
"they were just okay boomer-toons" is a genius double meaning line and i can't let that go unnoticed
“And they are so based for that”
-me, a KlinKlang enjoyer
Yo, a fellow Klinklang enjoyer 🤝
Klinklang Is one of my favourite Pokemon!
does anybody else have the headcannon that Revavroom turns upsidedown and crawls along the ground using its exaust pipes if/when it doesnt have rocks to spin?..no? just me? ok
That's neat
Don't mind me just gonna yoink this real quick
If I had a nickel for every time lockstin called Spain the blank capital of the world I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Here’s an idea: Every Generation’s designated cat Pokémon.
🤔
Gen-I: Meowth/Persian, Mew and Mewtwo
Gen-II: Espeon (maybe)
Gen-III: Skitty/Delkatty and Zangoose
Gen-IV: Shinx/Luxio/Luxray, Glameow/Purugly
Gen-V: Purrloin/Liepard
Gen-VI: Litleo/Pyroar, Espurr/Meowstic
Gen-VII: Litten/Torracat/Incineroar, Meowth/Persian (Alola Forms), Zeraora
Gen-VIII: Meowth (Galar Form)/Perrserker
Gen-IX: Sprigatito/Floragato/Meowscarada
@@JamesDavy2009Gen 2 also has the Hoppip line. And the 3 legendary beasts have feline elements as well
I think Pokemon also included Trubbish in art of cat Pokemon a year or so ago, so apparently Trubbish
Alright so one last thing, WHY DOES IT FLOAT?
Wynaut?
I guess with the description of a Pokemon dying inside of it's engine and it becoming sentient it's part ghost type maybe idk!?
Because cars are destined to fly
@@ArcherOfHoshido An aeroplane is kind of like a car with wings and control surfaces.
I WAS ABOUT TO ASK THE SAME
Arguably it’s a really good Pokémon, but it would have been cooler if it had that same type changing mechanic just like how the Revevrooms from the bosses changed types based off what car they were in.
Seeing Fossil Fighters mentioned brings me joy. Thanks mate
Wait I missed that, when did he mention it ?
@@Oceane1803 0:22 At the very bottom, he put Andrarch. Even if it is in a negative context (and I would argue one it doesn't belong in), It's still nice to see
It does make me happy as well Fossil Fighters is so underrated.
Those games were cool.
@@druidt8949 Oooh yeah I didn't notice.
Only you could get me to watch a video about seemingly random engine Pokémon. I love learning more about this stuff.
Love how you used shiny footage at the same time you had that “did he just kidnap her?” part. You either miss one or the other. XD
The appearance of Lego Vidyo figures was unexpected
I love revaroom for no reason other then it exists
I for one am a fan of this pokemon line. Coolest enemy associated pokemon line ever.
Well if they can do a car engine then I'd love to see a Steam engine at some point.
We almost had one, but then they HAD to make Coalossal look like that
Revaroom could've at least kept the moves as Starmobiles, I mean that would be fun in competitives.
Also I still question the logic on how these engines reproduce with other Pokemon...
About the same way as how Mineral-group Pokémon reproduce.
The one thing I like is that their mouth is above their eye in that cylinder and has a 360degree spinning tongue (also it has the unique poison steel typings) I like how varoom has slow start so regigias isn’t alone anymore.
Though one thing I kinda wish they did, even if you can’t use the starmobiles I wish they could have taught your Revaroom their starmobile moves
I actually really like revavroom. I actually liked the team star just used the stars in cassopia constellation
Nice name and profile picture 😉
Imagine stars was suppose to pay homage to a biker gang who were abused a lot to the point that they revolted
@@cyndaquil1433 More like victims of school bullying.
Ah yes, my favorite base game Gen 9 Pokemon
I absolutely love how bizarre these two look. A mouth above its singular eye with weird siphon-tube pipes attached to a race car made of random rubble. They’re so chock-full of personality, too!
My favorite Gen 9 ‘Mons, hands-down. Spidops is right up there with ‘em!
Even tho I'm not the biggest fans of these pkmn, I really appreciate the creativity for the first poison/steel type. A polluting can is GENIUS, I just wish it was more than just an engine block
In a German-based region, Revavroom could gain an evolution.
@@JamesDavy2009 I actually have an awesome idea for a revavroom evo called, Revastation. Which is basically revavroom as a transformer
@@mikerenois2220 Interesting…
Do go on.
@@JamesDavy2009 I haven't had any designs drawn, but I do have an idea for two signature abilities. The first one is called gearshift. It functions similar to aegislash's ability but instead changes between high offense and high speed. The other ability is combustion, whish gives revestation stab bonus for all fire type moves
@@mikerenois2220 The latter ability is a good one. As for the former ability, I would call it Nitro Boost-attacking moves induce a similar change in stats to Blade Forme Aegislash while status moves change the stats to favour speed.
Can't wait for the Electric type Variation in the next game. 😂
It could be a convergent evolution Pokémon like Diglett vs Wiglett. After a bit of research, I found that electric cars were invented in Germany. A Germany-based region is probable in the next generation or two given how Euro-centric the franchise has been lately (excepting Gen-VII).
Random Hank's Random Pokémon bingo card: in a future generation, Revavroom gains the ability Engine Swap. Similar to Rotom, engine swap revavroom changes type depending on the chassis it's given as a held item
And Random Hank has to say Built Ford Proud
What if there’s a designated NPC who gives you the items required for type changes?
And their name is Ford?
@@aurawarrior1367 I like the cut of your jib
0:23 To be fair, Digimon tends to combine animals with magical objects so the Garurumon isn’t a problem.
Revavroom should definitely have multiple usable forms. I'd really love a game where you get a revavroom as a ride pokemon that you can customize
Love your work friend, these just keep getting better and better! I remember a few years back you were going through a real bad time and clearly showed you were thinking of quitting. Boy am I glad you pulled through, because all my favorite videos from you came after that. Thank you for all these years, and please keep rocking my dude!
I can't quite explain it but there's something very precious about Varoom. Like the "aww, you go, buddy!" energy you get from watching a robot vacuum do its job. But now Varoom is actually alive. Idk. I like it. It's weirdly cute.
Love the way Lockstin rolled his R's when making the vroom sound. That's some skill. Saying this as someone who cannot roll his R's 😂😅
“Revavroom wants to learn Wicked Noxious Blazing Magical Combat Torque!” It’s an Omni-type move that’s 4x super-effective on just everything.
I nicknamed mine 88mph it carried my team in Scarlet.
The whole "decorating your trucks" thing reminded me of Jeepneys (a cheap public transport bus type thing, which consists modified Jeeps left by the Americans after WWII (tho, i have seen other ones, they probably just use old and cheap trucks/vans since jeeps are running out)), they are usually decorated with things the owner likes and/or just say the town/city they operate in. And guess who first colonised the Philippines? The Spanish! idk just wanted to say this
Shiny Revavroom reminds me of Il Tempo Gigante
I believe that "Dekatora/Decorated" Revavrooms could be also loosely based on parade floats that appear during various events in Spain (like Easter for example)
Me, sees Nexomon Arctivore: :D
Also me with Nexomon being labeled a Pokemon clone: :(
(But Arctivore being a edgy wolf 'mon is somewhat fair, especially its revived version in Extinction jacking it up to 11)
I love using this guy competitively. Filter + Air Balloon + Shift Gear + newly introduced, quite solid typing = loads of fun
Fans : Noooo you can't just keep making sentient object pokemon!!! Its uncreative and unoriginal!!!
Gamefreak: haha engine go vroooooom
To me it always came across as more original and creative to make a pokémon based on an object of some kind.
Anybody can think of a pokémon based on any old animal but... A _car?_ A _keyring?_ An _ANCHOR?_ that actually takes some creative thinking to make cool and get right and believe me they have, many times.
We wish Gamefreak was cool like that. Instead the designer shrieks and fights with actual fans on twitter.
GF could make a group of fossil fuel-based Pokémon to fit alongside the pollution Pokémon. They already have the Rolycoly line so how about a Grass/Rock fossil Pokemon, a Rock/Poison oil Pokémon or a Timburr convergent/regional variant based on oil mining.
Nice, you included fossil fighters. Anyone who loves dinosaurs and pokemon should definitely try out fossil fighters.
Oh, the first steel/poison type is a car? Welp, I guess that means it can't have levitate. That's disappointing but at least it makes sen-
*flies in game*
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
And it still doesn't have levitate
Well, it looks like it proves Mikey can't use Varoom for Team Sky's takeover of Paldea, but it's now fair game for Team Quark Drive to use when we take over Paldea!
Gotta love these videos explaining the lore behind the pokemon, definitely shows how much thought is in the pokemon now. Rather than just animals or objects mixed with a few things sometimes
Fun fact : they already planned to make revavroom (or perhaps car pokemon) since gen 7
How much you wanna bet that Palworld will one day make Tsukumogami Pals that are basically Possessed D1ldos, Fleshl1ghts, Guns, Discarded Drug Apparatuses, etc.?
It was really interesting that this evolution line was located in paldea for the popularity for the bikes, i always thought that they put them in there was only because spain created the first engine that can work with water.
The fact that the Team Star leaders don't become move tutors to teach your Revavroom their respective moves is a crime, and that's the most evil thing any team has done in Pokémon
You know when I first saw Varoom it remind me of RolyColy another Pokemon that drives along on wheel(s) and I had fall in love with that Pokemon and so too this one. I curious tho as to of it's shiny color variant as it is gold, perhaps much like shiny Pokemon to be rare automobiles are very rare too maybe!
Also could you imagine if Gamefreak were to sell toys of Revavroom like they were Hot Wheel cars! They would make a ton of money with that idea of merch.
5:11 carbon monoxide is the primary deadly component of exhaust and I’m not sure I would call it poisonous; it kills by displacing oxygen in the lungs in a manner resembling drowning
I'm the #1 objectmon fan, I love that you can go so in depth with them! Love your videos, I learn something new every time
You know? I expected the very first Poison/Steel Type to have something to do with rust. You know, tetanus and all that.
I haven't had the chance to see the shiny variant of this Pokémon but I sincerely hope it's red to reference Stephen King's "Christine": a bright red living car that does the murder
It’s gold
@@theelemental3096 Aw biscuits
You know what your Teen Pokémon game needs? That Ninjask/Shedinja.
A wheel Pokémon that as you travel with it, runs over another Pokémon, and then following after the wheel evolves, and you get the new one if you have room and a ball.
0:24 Honestly describing electrode as "pokeball but upside-down" would be funnier.
Years ago, one of my family cats got out and hid in my father's suberban's engine compartment, and we ended up driving around town to find him just for my mother to hear meowing while we were driving (and we were driving for a while)
He was fine, and my family and I had a simultaneous sigh of relief and little bit of a laugh
Varoom just appeared in the anime, and when I saw the possession pokedex I immediately thought of Pecharunt. That'd remove the idea of a pokemon dying to posses it since Pecharunt is a ghost, but it'd be kinda cool if that was forshadowing for the local mythical.
Devil Summoner being called Persona had all the energy of a mom calling any pokemon "Pikachu"
The starmobiles being named after the stars in the Cassiopeia constellation is a pretty cool bit of trivia
this has my 2nd favorite lockstin intro only outclassed by "bow wow sniff bork yip"
I have had a theory that Varoom was created by a Ghastly or Haunter possessing a car engine and getting stuck or something. Cause it even has the tongue that’s so important to the line. And just like how Rotom is Electric/Ghost and loses the Ghost type for whatever type the object it possesses gives it, it became a Poison/Steel type.
Ok, 20 seconds in, and there's a Fossil Fighters mention which, Y E S...but I will NOT accept Andrarch (Andrewsarchus) slander. That Vivosaur is the GOAT.
Also the reason why it looks more like a canid than what it actually is (a Cetancodontamorph) is that its design is more based on more classical and dated depictions of the animal as a Mesonychian (a group of carnivorous artiodactyls) so...yeah, there's that.
If what those origins are saying were true........... Then maybe we'll put Varoom and Revaroom on every type that are, of course, other than Fire, Dark, Poison, Fighting, and Fairy.
Lockstin bringing up Yo-Kai makes me want an every Yo-Kai (from Watch) explained. The series has a lot of funny localizations, historic and cultural references, and fun lore
It’s great to see another Paldea Pokémon get a video! Please do the Glimmora line next, I love those mons so much!
I knew Revaroom was a car, but I thought Varoom was supposed to be vacuum cleaner.
4:25 Wouldn’t it be funny if in this theoretical Scandinavian-based Pokemon region we got a convergent Varoom that is instead a possessed LEGO-styled toy car? The Lego company was founded in Denmark, a Scandinavian country, and just so happens the biggest tire manufacturer.
I hope in Gen 10 we get a Steel/Electric variant inspired by EV motors.
I remember my fight with the star-mobiles. i was spamming full restores on my pokemon hoping the PP of each of their signature moves would run dry,,,, little did i know: *they don’t run out of PP*
Good he dropped a video. Wasn’t like I was sitting here rewatching old videos with “Solgaleo eating the sun” promos or anything like that…
These two Pokemon were so over the top that I loved them. I did pick one for my playthrough. They look as if Slimer from Ghostbusters posseded an engine, lol.
Now I can’t stop thinking about a regional variant of vroom. It could be a ghost type carriage or maybe a jet engine instead.
The stars being in Cassiopeia blew my mind 😂 I didn’t even realize the cars had names 😭😂
I wish we could have at least seen team star drive the damn things, it would have been so cool to see Eri tearing up star fall street in a star mobile.
They executed the idea of a car Pokemon in the best way possible.
pokemon making a cool turtle pokemon. lockstin: time for an over an hour long video idea! and we all still watch all of it
"Persona turned it into an old, possessed car" Poor Raidou, being pushed to the wayside and just assumed it's another Persona... No disrespect on the Persona games, of course, but Oboroguruma (the car demon) only appears in the Raidou games, and those aren't part of the Persona series, just another sub-series under the MegaTen label. Not that I can expect people who aren't fans of the series to really know that honestly lol.
"WICKED NOXIOUS BLAZING MAGICAL COMBAT TORQUE!"
All great fighters call out their finishing moves!
Having trainers dress their ace pokemon up to make them look awesome is such a hilarious idea, I hope they do it more lol
heres another thing about torque. therre is a thing known as torque steer. its when a vehicle pulls to one side because of the power then engine is putting out to the wheels.
Sure would be cool if we could make our own starmobiles
I assumed it was a Ghastly that got stuck in a Varoom and when it evolves into a Revavroom the Ghastly evolves into a Haunter. It would explain why Revavroom has a tounge that's similar in shape to Haunter's.
That Neku statue is amazing, I'm really jealous
I freaking love this pokemon line so much! It's definitely one of my top favorites in Paldea and MVP of my team. I always wanted a car pokemon and now im happy.
Honestly, I came around on Varoom and Revavroom mostly because a Varoom was my first random shiny in Scarlet. It was at the top of a tower and way overleveled for me so I had to cheese it out, but dangit I got my gold plated Lamborghini.
And also just how silly it is. I can’t take the big goofy car tongue seriously, it’s just perfect.
Revavrooms my favourite gen 9 pokemon, it looks really cool to me. Hearing that it's a revanent yokai made me love it even more
Between the new legendary and all of the racing themed Pokémon in the newest generation combined with every other horse or speedy animal from the previous generations, Pokémon has a great basis for a legitimate racing game. It could be fun where they have stats that can be affected by the Pokémon, actual stats, meaning you could use Pokémon you’ve got other games as racing partners in this one.
Man, I love when I hear a Rayman Arena track in a Lockstin video ☺️
I honestly just love Revaroom. As soon as i saw the line i fell in love with it. Solid af shiny form to!
I have grown to like this little engine, can't wait to see if it ever gets variants or other forms.
Fun fact spain and portugal are big hosts to formula 1 and world rally racing especially in majorca. And Spain have SEAT (said as SAY-AT) a big car make that ships across europe.
reminds me of the movie "monster trucks" where there's some sea monster thing that inhabits a monster truck
Theres a difference between a bad concept and a bad design
On surface level candelier or keys might not work but chandelure and klefki are executed really well imo
But revavroom and varoom are not.
I like how revavroom is customizable but like its base design is so on the nose
The Enterprise-D was my childhood. And now my brain fused it with Revavroom.
It's glorious.
