I think the sole purpose sandstorm is rock type is so flying types can't avoid the chip damage. Everything else sand is treated as ground, so I think Nintendo just wants us to accept it as an honorary ground type move.
I always thought that Cubone and Marrowak are ground type because their design might have been based on the long-horned cow skull in the desert trope, the desert being where the ground type comes from.
BayLaugh Animations Nah. They're were supposed to be part of the Kangaskhan line, but Gamefreak changed it at the last minute. So, Cubone owns a Kangaskhan skull.

Hilariously, I had a twitter poll on what type to do next, and ground type was the LEAST voted... but the video was already 3/4ths finished. haha! The winner was Ghost for next I believe, but what should we do after that?
You should do a video on what you think could be the next Pokemon type that Game Freak adds in the future. Show why that would make sense as a type based on why the other 18 are types and what current Pokemon could change their typings to compensate for the new type like how Clefairy was normal and became a fairy type in gen 6
A little note about Whiscash and catfish in legend: if I recall, there is a mythical catfish believed to cause earthquakes, and earthquakes = ground. This is a bit of Gaijin Goomba's territory but yeah.
"Flappies with wingies, and groundies in the dirt..." That's beautiful. Just saying, in Gen 1, Ground was stupid powerful. I had a Dugtrio that literally killed everything without wings in one hit. Earthquake was kinda unbalanced in Red/Blue.
@@aerospherology2001 Magnitude is only better if you know how to manipulate the RNG (basically, to always get Magnitude 14, which is 140 power). If you don't know to, you'll usually get a magnitude on the 5-10 range (and so you'll be better just using Earthquake).
Well, it kind of would make sense with how he handled the possibility and logic of Phanpy being a normal type, instead of Ground type. Mostly it would be something that doesn´t have any special attributes to itself, and does...usual stuff. Diggersby would be an example of that too. Aside from using it´s ears to dig around, they don`t have any special attributes aside of that, and can live outside of the ground, and do other activities. It can be applied to the other Ground types of this video, but they have other particularities that wouldn´t allow them to be a Normal type. Also, Normal types by their movepool, we can see they are Pokémon able to adapt to their evironment in many cases. That´s the reason why Normal types have such a huge versatility of moves in their disposal. This theory is proven even more, when the moves Nature Power, Camouflage, Conversion & Conversion2 are Normal type moves; it shows how this Pokemon can adapt to their evironment to their respective needs. This description makes sense for most types of Pokemon, since some of them learn a lot of moves from different types, either through men`s intervention, or through by their process of adaptation. An example of this, would be Cinccino and Toucannon. They can learn moves from their typing, but they also use as ways of protection, moves to protect themselves against menaces, being those moves Bullet Seed and Rock Blast; Grass type and Rock type moves respectively. The only one that comes to my mind that doesn´t make sense is the Porygon line. They are manmade Pokemon, designed through a computer and got to our world. For this, they should be Electric type only, but they aren´t. They can learn Electric type moves, but also they learn their moves through machine made artifacts...which should be an obvious fact, considering is a man made creature, and not a natural creature.
I don't really see how normal types would be that hard. Most normal types are normal just because... Well, they're normal. They're not as special as something like a dragon and can probably be seen in the real world, if not, something similar to it is seen in the real world. Edit: By real world, I meant common animals. Such as Eevee being close to an animal like a dog or cat. I know a lot of Pokémon are based off real world animals even if they aren't normal types.
Lockstin keep it up! I don't want this to be the last year of gnoggin. We need great youtubers like you on this platform. Stay awesome and never stop using your gnoggin!
If you didn't already have the grass thumbnail ready, I'd suggest psychic. No matter what type you do next though, I'm definitely going to watch. These videos are really entertaining.
You know, in few years, you will have to do recap episodes on these when new pokemon come out. Or will you be explaining all the types with every new generation?
Sean Dewar like in this he says "small rocks, dirt dust" how can you say that for dark? It would be like "it lives in darkness" and "it has a dark story" nothing else much, I would like it but it would be kinda repetitive
many dark type do have extended lore which gives them a reason why they are Dark types, whether it's in their pokedex entries, or in the inspiration.It's not impossible to do
You forgot one detail about Marshtomp and Swampert: As the name of their first form would suggest, they're based off of mudskippers. Incidentally, maybe the Ground type actually stands for ground-ed, like an electrical ground, hence their immunity to electrical attacks? Perhaps it describes their properties more than their composition or lifestyle? Just a thought...
Ground type's weakness to: -Water: Water erodes soil -Grass: Trees grow on the ground -Ice: Frosts can make the ground into glaciers and useless for planting.
Believe me, I LOOKED! Looked all over, couldn't find any that I particularly liked (and that were appropriate). Ground just isn't one of those types. I now worry this video will suffer.
I would love to see a dragon type episode, but instead of explaining the types, which are mostly self explanatory, find a mythological connection to each dragon type. Explain how each one relates to a "real" dragon.
Well, that would be repetitive for Garchomp and Flygon then; since it was explained in this video. Although none of them are actually based on actual dragons, but in monsters and living creatures respectively. Garchomp as explained, comes from the Land shark, or known as Bullette in the D&D games. Mostly this are literally that; creatures that are sharks that bury underground specting their prey and attack, and it´s also their normal evironment. Flygon is mostly the play of words of the "dragon flies", but it also has features of the mystical dessert creatures mentioned on the video. Dratini family is really easy, since they are based in Oriental and European mythological dragons. Dratini and Dragonair enter the first, where they don´t have limbs and they are just a serpent body, but they also have access to different types of "magic" (shown by their movepool, since Dragon types can learn many moves from almost all types). Dragonite is the European based dragon, and has the same properties as it´s pre evolutions, but they have limbs, and posses abilities to master any magic. Kingdra and Dragalge would be a play of words only by the creature they are based off; sea dragons. The only explanaition behind Mega Ampharos, it´s due to it´s japanese name being Denryu, which literally means "Electric Dragon". It is also further seen that it´s mostly based on Chinese dragons. Rayquaza and it´s Mega form are mostly based is on Japanese dragons, which have serpent bodies, but have 2 limbs as arms, with 3 fingers. This is also proven since most of the Japanese dragons are shown to be mostly on the air, contrary to other variants of dragons. It would also make sense by the Pokemon lore, since it´s the leader of the weather Trio, thus it´s his work to maintain balance in the weather that is available in the world. And the list goes on explaining each Dragon type, which isn´t complicated. Maybe for the ones that aren´t actual dragons, but they are more lizards, or something else (like Mega Sceptile, Noivern, Tyrantrum and Alolan Exeggutor).
Beast King I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure mega amphrados along with it's name is a dragon type cause it's a refference to the dragon who gaurded the golden fleece in greek mythology
Beast King Vibrava and Flygon are based on the adult antlion, which has wings. According to Bulbapedia, some antlion species are nicknamed "sand dragons," which is probably why they're ground/dragon type.
2:40 Still one of my favorite jokes of this channel, it has clever, not on the nose build-up despite being unexpected, it is concise and precise, it doesn't overstay its welcome. Perfect
1:06 I was thinking the exact same thing, and we actually can go further: Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals are made from metals. Sand is basically smashed rocks, and ground, dirt, soil... is a mixture of rocks, sand, bacteria and organic material from bugs, plants and fungi. Where do you put the line between the types Plant, Bug, Ground, Rock and Steel?
(Talking about why Palpitoad and Semitoad are ground types) 'and using the large sacs on their bodies, they can cause ripple in the mud and *add plays with happy music* Me: *Writing the information down without looking up* So, like tympole, they can make music.
Yes! Nice! Youve done both of my favorite types! Poison and ground. Thank you~ and this series is so wonderful. Thank you very much for your hard work on these. I really hope that you can keep going and cover all the types. And as for the next one. The 3 suggestions you showed us are good. If i had to pick one. Id say ghost. And i have a question. How are you gonna cover new pokemon from types that youve already done with? Would you just not bother cuz itd be to stressful to try to keep up with everything? Would you edit and update the videos that youve already done? Would would you make separate vid or vids for the newly added ones? Im sorry for asking such a ridiculous question. Its just im loving this so much and im genuinely curious. Apologies.
7:51 - It would actually make a lot of sense. Compare it to armor concepts for humans: Hard plating where possible, and more flexible materials wherever not. Same for the Ryhorn line: Rigid stone armor where possible, and packed dirt and mud in spots where stones would otherwise impede movement.
In regards to how Ground and Rock types differ, I think they just view the elements differently in Japan. Ground types are subterranean Pokémon that use the earth to attack, while Rock types are like the "Mountain-type," given the significance of mountains in Japan, that use rocks to attack. Closely related, but different.
Zygarde is the most anime Pokémon and is basically a ground type voltron. All his cells and cores come together to make a giant fighting mecha version of Captain Planet
Cubone and Marowak are Ground for a symbolic reason: Death. All living beings that are deceased decompose into the soil, they become one with the Earth. Cubone's evolution line (including Kangaskahn despite the fact it was censored) are based on the endless cycle of life and death. A concept known as The Circle of Life.
megagutsman Yes it is. It was later changed by Nintendo. They even changed it's typing to further distance it from the evolutionary line. This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn. Cubone was eventually supposed to become a mother (Kangaskahn) who dies and the baby becomes another Cubone, that's the whole point of the evolutionary line. The mother dies and Cubone wears it's skull. Marowak already *has* a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship. Cubone *literally calls Kangaskahn* in Sun&Moon rather than Marowak, because Kangaskahn is it's *actual* mother.
*+Queen Strong* *"This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn."* That's BS. There are more than one type of MissingNo and all of them solely exist because of a programming mistake. You cannot use them to establish any kind of canon. *"Marowak already has a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship."* Nope, Cubone's skull doesn't look at all like a Kangaskhan skull, for one is literally too small. It looks more like a Charizard or a Aerodactyl skull.
megagutsman But *the one that evolves into Kangaskahn specifically* has Marowak's cry. Are you an idiot or can you not piece together that this was leftover game data that was scrapped (though not removed). Thats what Gamefreak did during the Gameboy days because it was too difficult and time consuming for them to remove sections of code. It's called putting 2 and 2 together. As the skull evolves it would fit to Cubone's head as it isn't entirely a Kangaskahn yet. That isn't proof against anything that's just common sense. I actually can't believe that people are still this delusional to deny the obvious connection here. Not only was this nearly confirmed before Gen 7, it was literally confirmed during Gen 7 due to the fact that Cubone *call* Kangaskahn and not Marowak.
megagutsman Things get scrapped and/or changed around during development, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Cubone and Kangaskahn are both related. What you're really doing is Autistically nitpicking even though the facts are stacked against you. Do you actually think that Gamefreak is going to *literally flat-out say* that the two are related when they themselves tried to scrap the connection and made the concious decision to divide then into separate pokemon? Use your brain.
Pretty sure that small/agile animals are default normal, but big, bulky animals are default ground but idk - that might explain the rhino/elephant ones
You can thank Terminal Montage for his incredible animations that you took part in, which led to me taking interest in watching your pokémon videos. Finding good content for pokémon is much harder than people might think.
PokeTheory #1: The breeding and digging causes Nidoran to rapidly level up and she bumps into a Moon stone along the way(probably because she was attracted to it). PokeTheory #2: Motherhood, like friendship, brings out the true strength of pokemon!
Ground is one of those types that suck if they are on your team but a huge pain in the ass if they are on your opponents team because it’s both weak to and strong against so many types and are useless against any of the types it’s good at.
Torterra is honestly my favorite ground type Pokémon, Turtwig was my first starter Pokémon so I have a lot of fond memories associated with it and it's evolutions.
"Bone type" .... Bones are found underground, ah ha! Fossils finally make sense! Oh, no wait all fossils are rock type... Not ground... What is the difference between rock and ground? I need answers
ShadowSableyeXd think about it. All of Bagon's entries talks about how it wants to FLY, and how it is overjoyed at being able to fly when it fully evolves (not to mention BaGON, ShelGON, FlyGON would make WAY more sense.)
Nick Wilcox this is a old theory, but I think someone at Game Freak debunked it, that's how they were planned to be named since the start, like, yeah, flygon's name makes sense with the bagon evolutionary line, but also is derived from draGONFLY, the animal it is based off.
Hopefully not you, person who can't figure out the difference between "its" and "it's" and thinks capitalizing the first letter of every word makes sense in some way. >.> And if you're complaining about Nidoqueen not being able to breed, it's only unable to breed in captivity, much like real-life female rhinos; Lockstin did a video on this.
"Missigno is Bird type because it itself is a Glitch, and therefore the game glitches and resorts to using a type left in the coding that is not used anywhere else"
+A Person With a Name (Great name, by the way.) False and false. Missingno is not itself a glitch, it is filler - there are Pokemon you can force the original games to make that are actually glitches, but Missingno was put in the game's code deliberately, albeit to fill space, as there are more data values for Pokemon in the original games than there are actual Pokemon in those games, due in part to the original idea for the games having more Pokemon than ended up being created for G1. Specifically, there were going to be 190 Pokemon, and forcing the game to spawn a Pokemon with one of the 39 data values that did not get used but were originally going to be used spawns a Missingno; meanwhile, forcing it to spawn something with a data value of 191 to 256 creates actual glitch Pokemon (I may be one number off on those, as 'M stands for data value 0 and therefore I'm not sure if the values go to 256 or 255, I know very little about computer programming, but apart from that, I'm confident that I'm correct). It is presumed that Bird type was the original Flying type, but got changed somewhere in early-to-mid development, much like the number of Pokemon there were going to be. One should not be able to FIND Missingno, you must glitch the game in order to spawn it, but it is actually in the game's code. I have studied this, friend.

Dragonite is the European based dragon, and has the same properties as it´s pre evolutions, but they have limbs, and posses abilities to master any magic.
Kingdra and Dragalge would be a play of words only by the creature they are based off; sea dragons.
The only explanaition behind Mega Ampharos, it´s due to it´s japanese name being Denryu, which literally means "Electric Dragon". It is also further seen that it´s mostly based on Chinese dragons.
Rayquaza and it´s Mega form are mostly based is on Japanese dragons, which have serpent bodies, but have 2 limbs as arms, with 3 fingers. This is also proven since most of the Japanese dragons are shown to be mostly on the air, contrary to other variants of dragons. It would also make sense by the Pokemon lore, since it´s the leader of the weather Trio, thus it´s his work to maintain balance in the weather that is available in the world.
And the list goes on explaining each Dragon type, which isn´t complicated. Maybe for the ones that aren´t actual dragons, but they are more lizards, or something else (like Mega Sceptile, Noivern, Tyrantrum and Alolan Exeggutor).
I'm impressed, Beast King. Way to use your gnoggin.
Beast King I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure mega amphrados along with it's name is a dragon type cause it's a refference to the dragon who gaurded the golden fleece in greek mythology
A Dragon Type video would be cool if it wont turn into a "why isnt charizard a dragon but other Pkm Meme" cauz they are annoying.
Beast King Vibrava and Flygon are based on the adult antlion, which has wings. According to Bulbapedia, some antlion species are nicknamed "sand dragons," which is probably why they're ground/dragon type.
2:40 Still one of my favorite jokes of this channel, it has clever, not on the nose build-up despite being unexpected, it is concise and precise, it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Perfect
You should do every grass type Pokemon explained the categories should be trees seeds flowers others and living around grass
*Potato Man*
Some of them are even a part of a different kingdom and they share the grass typing and egg group. Those are the mushroom Pokémon.
2:54 Those are called Weenises, the skin on the end of an elbow.
Gnoggin, do every grass type Pokémon next please.😆😆😆🌱🌱🌱
NativeWalker Adrian hes done it already i think
Icewolfgamer Clash royale and more, He has not yet you might be confused by one of the other types he has done.
He already has the thumbnail soooooo
NativeWalker Adrian most likely xD
NativeWalker Adrian Do it for the gardening.
1:06 I was thinking the exact same thing, and we actually can go further: Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals are made from metals. Sand is basically smashed rocks, and ground, dirt, soil... is a mixture of rocks, sand, bacteria and organic material from bugs, plants and fungi. Where do you put the line between the types Plant, Bug, Ground, Rock and Steel?
I just say we keep Grass and Bug as they are, fuse Rock and Ground into "Earth", and rename Steel to "Metal".
Every Ice type explained please.
Cubone and Marowak get their bones from the graveyards and they had to dig them out that may be a good reason for why they're ground type.
Psychic or Fighting?
Both?
he allready did fighting
He's asking which do u like more
nathan walton I see ground poison rock and steel in his play list where is the fighting type
Ice I was lied to.
(Talking about why Palpitoad and Semitoad are ground types) 'and using the large sacs on their bodies, they can cause ripple in the mud and *add plays with happy music*
Me: *Writing the information down without looking up* So, like tympole, they can make music.
Whiscash is also based on the namazu which is a Japanese catfish which causes earthquakes
I wish rock & ground would be re-branded as "earth" type. Having them separate just seems tedious IMO.
IKR
I love ground and rock type. I like ground type more though because I love the desert.
This is why grass type is a thing
@@JeffV
What do you mean?
@@brandonprater4613 too much plant life
Yes! Nice! Youve done both of my favorite types! Poison and ground. Thank you~ and this series is so wonderful. Thank you very much for your hard work on these. I really hope that you can keep going and cover all the types. And as for the next one. The 3 suggestions you showed us are good. If i had to pick one. Id say ghost. And i have a question. How are you gonna cover new pokemon from types that youve already done with? Would you just not bother cuz itd be to stressful to try to keep up with everything? Would you edit and update the videos that youve already done? Would would you make separate vid or vids for the newly added ones? Im sorry for asking such a ridiculous question. Its just im loving this so much and im genuinely curious. Apologies.
Here again 'cause Lockstin said this video needs more love.
And it indeed deserves more love. ❤

This video made me realize that none of the slug/snail Pokémon are bug type isn’t that weird
Jeremy Wilson he does that joke a lot. Lol
Well, because they aren't bugs. They're mollusks
Professor Nichols neither are isopods, which is what golisopod is based off of
**X-Files theme plays**
True bugs belong to a specific order of insect, hemiptera.
"Pokemon Pokenon O how you're diverse. From flappys with wingys, to groundies in the dirts" A true masterpiece.
13:35 Groudon's Omega form 😂 😂 😂
Anyway love these vids. Will you do 1 video for every typing?
9:47 he's gotta smell the mud, he's gotta lick the mud, he's gotta wash the mud, he's gotta date the mud
Ok how do you pronounce Gligar Correctly but not Gliscor?
I LOVE when you do these types of videos it’s crazy how much detail you go into man keep it up :)
Someone’s starting to sound like MatPat lol
7:51 - It would actually make a lot of sense. Compare it to armor concepts for humans: Hard plating where possible, and more flexible materials wherever not. Same for the Ryhorn line: Rigid stone armor where possible, and packed dirt and mud in spots where stones would otherwise impede movement.
Pokémon Pokémon oh how your diverse
From flappys with wingys
From groundies in the dirts
I think Wooper is also based on the axolotl, which is an amphibious salamander
"What? No! Cubone is bone type! Dogs have a weakness for bones!"
~Dorkly
Also barboach is based on a loach, not a catfish.
In regards to how Ground and Rock types differ, I think they just view the elements differently in Japan. Ground types are subterranean Pokémon that use the earth to attack, while Rock types are like the "Mountain-type," given the significance of mountains in Japan, that use rocks to attack. Closely related, but different.
9:34 Quagsire is So Derpy
Zygarde is the most anime Pokémon and is basically a ground type voltron. All his cells and cores come together to make a giant fighting mecha version of Captain Planet
You have Pokemon from Savannah habitats but never a game based on one.
Lloyd Irving Afrofuturist Pokémon game when
Cubone is a nice example for the difference between rock and ground.
10:17 "IT'S AN ENENMY STAND!"
4:27 diglett. We don't see its body and we don't see Cubones face. I rest my case, your Honor
Cubone and Marowak are Ground for a symbolic reason: Death.
All living beings that are deceased decompose into the soil, they become one with the Earth. Cubone's evolution line (including Kangaskahn despite the fact it was censored) are based on the endless cycle of life and death. A concept known as The Circle of Life.
Kangaskhan was never part of Cubone's evolutionary line, that's simply an old and outdated rumor.
megagutsman Yes it is. It was later changed by Nintendo. They even changed it's typing to further distance it from the evolutionary line. This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn.
Cubone was eventually supposed to become a mother (Kangaskahn) who dies and the baby becomes another Cubone, that's the whole point of the evolutionary line. The mother dies and Cubone wears it's skull. Marowak already *has* a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship.
Cubone *literally calls Kangaskahn* in Sun&Moon rather than Marowak, because Kangaskahn is it's *actual* mother.
*+Queen Strong* *"This is literally proven by the fact that "M" has Marowak's cry and evolved into Kangaskahn."*
That's BS. There are more than one type of MissingNo and all of them solely exist because of a programming mistake. You cannot use them to establish any kind of canon.
*"Marowak already has a skull because it's evolution line is incomplete due to censorship."*
Nope, Cubone's skull doesn't look at all like a Kangaskhan skull, for one is literally too small. It looks more like a Charizard or a Aerodactyl skull.
megagutsman But *the one that evolves into Kangaskahn specifically* has Marowak's cry. Are you an idiot or can you not piece together that this was leftover game data that was scrapped (though not removed). Thats what Gamefreak did during the Gameboy days because it was too difficult and time consuming for them to remove sections of code. It's called putting 2 and 2 together.
As the skull evolves it would fit to Cubone's head as it isn't entirely a Kangaskahn yet. That isn't proof against anything that's just common sense.
I actually can't believe that people are still this delusional to deny the obvious connection here. Not only was this nearly confirmed before Gen 7, it was literally confirmed during Gen 7 due to the fact that Cubone *call* Kangaskahn and not Marowak.
megagutsman Things get scrapped and/or changed around during development, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Cubone and Kangaskahn are both related.
What you're really doing is Autistically nitpicking even though the facts are stacked against you. Do you actually think that Gamefreak is going to *literally flat-out say* that the two are related when they themselves tried to scrap the connection and made the concious decision to divide then into separate pokemon? Use your brain.
Pretty sure that small/agile animals are default normal, but big, bulky animals are default ground but idk - that might explain the rhino/elephant ones
I'd love to see either Dark types or Electric types be done next.
You can thank Terminal Montage for his incredible animations that you took part in, which led to me taking interest in watching your pokémon videos. Finding good content for pokémon is much harder than people might think.
oh boy I love me some
*GROUNDIES IN THE DIRTS*
6:20 Gordon, watch out for those Trapinch on the way to Nova Prospekt!
Real question, how does nidoqueen dig burrows for it’s young??? Can’t it only breed as a nidorino?
*nidorina
PokeTheory #1: The breeding and digging causes Nidoran to rapidly level up and she bumps into a Moon stone along the way(probably because she was attracted to it).
PokeTheory #2: Motherhood, like friendship, brings out the true strength of pokemon!
Gnoggin actually already did a video on this. Nidorina and Nidoqueen are only unable to breed when in captivity, much like real-life female rhinos.
10:31 he look so happy.
Give us the ghostie boys next.
Yeah, he's doing ghost next.
Ground is one of those types that suck if they are on your team but a huge pain in the ass if they are on your opponents team because it’s both weak to and strong against so many types and are useless against any of the types it’s good at.
11:56 A FILM THEORY!!!
Torterra is honestly my favorite ground type Pokémon, Turtwig was my first starter Pokémon so I have a lot of fond memories associated with it and it's evolutions.
"Bone type" .... Bones are found underground, ah ha! Fossils finally make sense! Oh, no wait all fossils are rock type... Not ground... What is the difference between rock and ground? I need answers
I have no idea
They should just fuse Rock and Ground into one type called "Earth". It's kinda stupid they haven't already.
Scorpion flies were also in the Stephen King novella called The Mist.
Has anyone ever noticed that Flygon and Salamence had their names switched for some reason?
Nick Wilcox what?
ShadowSableyeXd think about it. All of Bagon's entries talks about how it wants to FLY, and how it is overjoyed at being able to fly when it fully evolves (not to mention BaGON, ShelGON, FlyGON would make WAY more sense.)
Nick Wilcox this is a old theory, but I think someone at Game Freak debunked it, that's how they were planned to be named since the start, like, yeah, flygon's name makes sense with the bagon evolutionary line, but also is derived from draGONFLY, the animal it is based off.
rodrigo davet flygon isn’t a dragonfly tho it’s an adult antlion
5:13 DOG TYPES ARE WEAK AGAINST BONE TYPES
What? I thought wooper was based on the Axolotl D:
it is, he messed up
8:34 Picture of a video that hasn’t been released yet. Foreshadowing
sandstorm is rock type because sand is crumpled rock
BAM Easy
I freaking love these type explanations, and now that you teased that grass typing... you really should do that :)

Nidoqueen Protects It's Young.
Who Makes This Pokedex?
Hopefully not you, person who can't figure out the difference between "its" and "it's" and thinks capitalizing the first letter of every word makes sense in some way. >.> And if you're complaining about Nidoqueen not being able to breed, it's only unable to breed in captivity, much like real-life female rhinos; Lockstin did a video on this.
Wandergirl108 rude
Ice How dare.
Because pokedex entry are for wild Pokemon like how rhinos can't really breed in capacity
@@itsyaboychipsahoy.7989 understand it
11:09 "or even create an-" _advertisement_
I dunno what you mean by "underdog", when Ground type is easily the second-best typing in the game...
Maybe fourth best, under(in order from best to worst) Dragon, Steel, and Ghost
@@theStridingRebel Late reply here. I love ground pokemon but i kinda feel there are just a few ground moves compared to other typings
“It’s really dumb I love it” 😂😂
11:50
That’s one thicc land shark 👌 👌 👌
I like how you used a clip from the movie Tremors as the Graboids tend to usually be underground until they become a shrieker.
Do bird type next (not flying, bird)
that's difficult
"Okay. So our first Pokémon is Missingno.!
What now.
Help."
"Missigno is Bird type because it itself is a Glitch, and therefore the game glitches and resorts to using a type left in the coding that is not used anywhere else"
+A Person With a Name (Great name, by the way.) False and false. Missingno is not itself a glitch, it is filler - there are Pokemon you can force the original games to make that are actually glitches, but Missingno was put in the game's code deliberately, albeit to fill space, as there are more data values for Pokemon in the original games than there are actual Pokemon in those games, due in part to the original idea for the games having more Pokemon than ended up being created for G1. Specifically, there were going to be 190 Pokemon, and forcing the game to spawn a Pokemon with one of the 39 data values that did not get used but were originally going to be used spawns a Missingno; meanwhile, forcing it to spawn something with a data value of 191 to 256 creates actual glitch Pokemon (I may be one number off on those, as 'M stands for data value 0 and therefore I'm not sure if the values go to 256 or 255, I know very little about computer programming, but apart from that, I'm confident that I'm correct). It is presumed that Bird type was the original Flying type, but got changed somewhere in early-to-mid development, much like the number of Pokemon there were going to be. One should not be able to FIND Missingno, you must glitch the game in order to spawn it, but it is actually in the game's code. I have studied this, friend.
Fun fact:
Nincada's evolutions have a defensive advantage against nincada
Flying resists bug and is imune to ground
Ghost resists bug and ground is resisted by bug
