The problem with the "will float away into space" aspect is that his interior might be largely hallow which would increase his density. But regardless it wouldn't be able to ever submurge into water
So, sure, maybe it wouldn't literally fly away, but a stiff breeze might sincerely mess it up. And, beyond that, this IS a creature that supposedly lives in the water. For example, that block of wood that he showed at the beginning of the episode floating mostly out of the water? That was probably something with a density around 500 kg/m^3. That's over 200x the density of a wailord. The amount of force that would be required for that thing to submerge even halfway would be absurd. In its natural state, it wouldn't be IN the water, it'd be ON TOP OF the water, waggling around, trying to gulp down enough of it to get more than a couple of inches of itself beneath the surface. In order to fully submerge, it would have to fill something like 90% or more of its volume with water. We'd see great swaths of wailord bobbing along on the surface like they were Arceus's kid himself, rolled wildly about by stiff gusts of wind that would change the air pressure above them enough to catch airtime.
@@VannyBeumer Kind of? We see it half submerged in the water, chilling. I don't think you fully grasp the severity of the issue here...Google a picture of a basketball into the water. Look at how it floats almost entirely out of the water, just the very bottom bit being wet. A Basketball's density is 90 kg/m3. Even that is 40 times more dense than the Wailord. It's more like an air-filled balloon.
# 0001 If they made Wailord about as heavy as its real life counterpart. He would be so busted with the move Heavy Slam. Especially if it's a Steel Tera. Granted Grass Knot would be the counter but still!
Air has lots of weight, and you "bench press" it every day. If you were to find yourself on an atmosphere-less planet with a gravity precisely equal to Earth's you'd still feel really light because there wouldn't be any air pressing on you.
Doesn't Wailord still hold that record of size/weight ratio? Because it's 47' 07'' and weighs 877.4lbs. Which...yea...is heavier than Dondozo but Wailord is also bigger in height/length.
Air does indeed have a weight, otherwise how would the atmosphere not just immediately be left behind in space? Also, how would helium float? Helium floating on air is similar to a regular balloon floating on water, it wouldn't happen if water didn't weigh anything either. Air is made up of gases, gases are made up of molecules and molecules have weight.
American public transport was killed off by the automotive industry as they bought the companies and torn down the transportation, so if you wonder why almost all Americans drive, it’s cause most are decent public transport was removed
Kinda chuckled when Patterz heard the real blue whale weight. Not understanding the Squared-Cubed Law, and then not two minutes later "Air has weight?!" Not understanding Air Pressure. Rather Silly. Lol
4:00 My guess is they couldn't put enough digits in the old school pokedex entries without it looking weird in the UI so the dropped several significant figures off.
It mostly feels like pokemon's height and weights (somewhat) make sense until you compare it to other pokemon. Ofc there are absolute exceptions, for most popular exceptions, Charizard, Nido's and Lucario heights.
I still think the pokémon world has different core physics and stuff that makes these things plausible. Copium, I know, but I just don't see how real-world physics can still be assumed to apply to pokémon. I mean, it was made by a god llama that made dragon and fae children, so that's already very different to however our world may or may not have been created. Whatever caused our world to exist, it wasn't a llama with superpowers. So the base conditions are already drastically different.
It feels weird knowing that I am slightly taller than a Charizard despite it has always been depicted as being able to ride on comfortably when flying.
Not fully sure but think MatPat may be using pixel measurements to determine Wailords length? The Pokédex only list one “hight” (14.5 m) which is actually its height (top of its head to its belly) as opposed to its length (head to tail). Kinda odd they don’t list the length like most fish Pokémon
What the Pokédex lists does refer to Wailord's length (MatPat addresses this in the video), the 'dex just always says "height" for all Pokémon even if that's not what it's measuring. The problem is you can't calculate volume with just length, you need other measurements, like width and height.
So while it may not float, due to it's relative buoyancy in air, someone in the pokemon universe probably could bench-press a Wailord. If you can bench press ~165 kg, you could bench press the average Wailord. Current Ben Press WR is 612.5kg, so more than3.5 Wailords
sorry to be the fun police or a nerd but I don’t think air has a weight, nor if it does it’s really minuscule. However it has a density and anything less dense than air could technically fly, Hense helium makes balloon flies. Btw when you said you can’t benchpress air? You can, it’s called cardio :D
Of course air has weight. Have you ever filled a balloon with air? It just falls. But with helium? It floats, because helium is lighter than air. Not to mention, if air had no weight, you probably wouldn’t even feel it. Hurricanes wouldn’t be a big deal.
My newest theory is that Patterrz IS William Farmer & the failure of this paper was the catalyst that caused Patterrz to turn to TH-cam!
I loved it when he said
"It's theorizin' time" and then proceded to theorize all over the place
"OH BROTHER THIS GUY STINKS!!!"

That's exactly what we see in the Isle of armor

Moves like heavy slam have power caps anyway so it wouldn't be that big of a deal
Heavy Slam would just be a 120BP move. So worse than its STAB Liquidation

In Sword and shield your wailord is floating when It's following you...
I now have an image of the trainer walking around with their wailord tied to a piece of string so it doesn't float away, thank you for this image!
Fun fact, Dondozo is 39'04" and weighs 485 lbs so is Dondozo the lightest Pokemon ever?
Do you mean least dense? Cause haunter is among the lightest at 0.2 lbs
Doesn't Wailord still hold that record of size/weight ratio? Because it's 47' 07'' and weighs 877.4lbs. Which...yea...is heavier than Dondozo but Wailord is also bigger in height/length.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 assuming we use lbs/in, 877.4/571 is about 1.53, while 485/472 is just over 1, thus resulting in Dondozo having a lower density.
@@simonalbert7518 Why the heck are you dividing mass by height, when you need mass/volume?
@@Asmodeus-D4rk Dondozo and Wailord have similar models and the height of Wailord is literally used in the video as a factor of the volume
For your question at 14:41 We need the radius of wailord and the pokedex ain't givin us the raidius

8:18 says the guy who asked if air had weight...
He should react to the game theory on Ash's age.
I thought that was the oldest Pokemon debate.
It’s theorizin’ time.
Theorizzin’
* proceeds to theorize all over the place *
I really think Wailord is supposed to be light, since he is based off an blimp
It's officially titled the "Float Whale" Pokémon. It was definitely a design choice and not some rushed mishap lol
0:36
There is nothing wrong if you're 5'7".
But there is DEFINITELY something wrong about a *LITERAL DRAGON* being 5'7"!
American public transport was killed off by the automotive industry as they bought the companies and torn down the transportation, so if you wonder why almost all Americans drive, it’s cause most are decent public transport was removed
Also I was told pretty much all our train tracks are owned by Canada.
17:27 "Maybe not for a 13 year old" Me a 5'3 13 year old
I was 5ft until senior year, you ain’t alone
Air is not have weightless. Every element has a weight. Granted, air doesn’t tend to weight a lot, but it still technically has weight.
5:23 that is a dumb question, yes air has weight
Imagine being such a gym worm that you compare how heavy a fictional character is with how much you can bench press
Kinda chuckled when Patterz heard the real blue whale weight. Not understanding the Squared-Cubed Law, and then not two minutes later "Air has weight?!" Not understanding Air Pressure.
Rather Silly. Lol
0:49 as a 5'7 I have to say thank you
7:30 it always been like this because of gt live
4:00 My guess is they couldn't put enough digits in the old school pokedex entries without it looking weird in the UI so the dropped several significant figures off.
Anyone else notice that Matpat's intro for "MORTY" is the same tune that MandJTV use to use for his "ASPITPIAY" segment?
When he started benchpressing air 😂
YAY! love your theory reactions!😂❤❤❤❤
It mostly feels like pokemon's height and weights (somewhat) make sense until you compare it to other pokemon. Ofc there are absolute exceptions, for most popular exceptions, Charizard, Nido's and Lucario heights.
Matpat mentions blue whales proceeds to show a picture of s humpback whale.
Nothing wrong with being a 5.7 dude but a 5.7 fully grown dragon

Hey im 5' 7"... but those are 2 different measurements. AYOOO!
It feels weird knowing that I am slightly taller than a Charizard despite it has always been depicted as being able to ride on comfortably when flying.
"Does air have weight" and other questions only the british would ask

10:49 why does the volume keep changing?
So while it may not float, due to it's relative buoyancy in air, someone in the pokemon universe probably could bench-press a Wailord. If you can bench press ~165 kg, you could bench press the average Wailord. Current Ben Press WR is 612.5kg, so more than3.5 Wailords
Someone never weighed empty and full balloons as a child
Does Patterz really not know air has weight?
As someone who did their degree in astrophysics, there is no such thing as 'too many assumptions'
Ngl a 5’7’’ charizard wood look pathetic
Someone in your chat said that Matpat's MORTY was a rip off of MandJTV's ASPITPIAY.
"matpat is so based for using my favorite pokemon of all time" he called it short

Have you ever filled a balloon with air? It just falls.
But with helium? It floats, because helium is lighter than air.
Not to mention, if air had no weight, you probably wouldn’t even feel it. Hurricanes wouldn’t be a big deal.
Hm, i wonder what Pokémon Theory he’ll do next?
Thanks Patterrz! 5' 7 Gang Here!
Air is light yes but air can be dense enough to be heavy
The reason I think is that there are some moves which depend on the weight of the Pokemon.
17:23 no it’s not
More Patterz!
....yes sir...air has weight it is till matter and it is tangible and physical therefore having mass
0:57 don’t fell bad but u technically can change it also I’m 6.2
I feel like pat likes Matpat because of the connection of Pat
Wailord looks like a Zeppelin maybe that has something to do with with
LEVE YOU ENTRYS IN THE SUBREDIT
PPOOKKEEFFAANNSS
AND ILL WATCH SUBMITIONS IN THE NEXT EPISODES
ASPITAPY
GREETINGS POKEFANS!
MICY HEAR
I mean….Having anime logic in the game and vise versa is weird
No seriously. Why IS wailord in that egg group at all? Also yes air has weight, all atoms have weight.
I'm a 5'6" female. 😂 But I do know a gal who's taller than me. She might even be 6 feet tall. God, everyone in that family is a giant.
It’s a quest
Am 12 and am 5'8 trust my 5'4 is small everywhere
funny react but the audio of the video going up and down is kinda distracting
Marty vs Aspittapy who wins
I mean if a pig and elephant breed then why can’t a cat and whale
Dang patterz is short
Patterz i know youre not american, but do you go off pounds or kilograms when it comes to pokemon??
i'm 5'4 and im 22 wtf x3
