The fact that pufferfish have so many adaptations to make them more difficult and dangerous to eat, and humanity is still eating them to extinction. At this point it's almost just impressive
@@jaschabull2365 Look at peppers and other spicy plants, the spice was meant to be a deter creatures from eating the plants but us humans ended up loving it. Sometimes a defensive adaptation just makes you better to eat.
I'm really glad we live in a timeline where Quilfish, noboby's favorite pokemon, let alone a pokemon anyone actually remembered or cared about can get it's own day in the sun with more interesting contextualization. It really goes to show what a genius idea regional variants were and why it was one of the few modern ideas in the games that have stuck around past the region it was introduced in
I've always loved qwilfish, it's just I didn't use him because he didn't evolve and isn't the strongest but that doesn't mean anything, the same is said for a lot of cute pokemon. I've been DYING for him to get an evolution, and I went in without knowing about him so when I saw hisuian qwilfish, I was elated.
@@bensjammin9 especially since Overqwil really *could* have worked as a straight cross-gen like Wyrdeer. the new form doesn't add much of anything, it's not like Galarian Corsola where it's a totally different vibe and concept from the original. i had this same problem with G-Farfetch'd, and to a lesser extent H-Basculin as well.
Throwing a bit of additional info in: Fugu fish raised in a controlled environment will not have the poison, since they're not being fed the bacteria that would create the poison to begin with. But not being potentially lethal makes it unwanted...
I love how even back in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they hinted that Qwilfish would not only get an new regional form, but also a new evolution that evolves into Overqwil in "The Sea Legend" book in Canalave Library
@Korero Korero how are you supposed to know what to do if you don't own BDSP(which costs $60), yet alone check a random book in the library where most bookshelves won't even let you read anything from them? May was well google it.
I'm worried about all the exposure you've had to Qwilfish in this episode. If you begin to have any symptoms of being poisoned, make sure you find a Chansey or make it to a Pokecenter right away.
@@jaschabull2365 Actually it would work, the water in Hisui is apparently high in iron which is why Sliggoo and Goodra are Dragon/Steel. Qwilfish and Overqwil being Steel/Poison would have been pretty fitting in an ecological sense.

Learned a lot about the Fugu/pufferfish poison. That said, I'm more interested in what could've happened to Hisuian Sneasel. Thinking that the variant from Johto was introduced and drove it to extinction given they both inhabit the same area. Like how the Gray Squirrel is pushing the Red Squirrel in the British isles to extinction.
I doubt that was the case, since Johto is close to Hisui/Sinnoh, Johtonian Sneasel would have likely been native or introduced to the region at one point already before Hisuian Sneasel became dominant over time. Hisuian Sneasel would have likely outcompeted Johtonian Sneasel in the past already. Hisuian Sneasel and Sneasler were also better adapted to mountainous environments, and inhabited a different ecological niche than Johotonian Sneasel and Weavile did (diurnal vs nocturnal, solitary vs social). So it's also possible that neither of the two would outcompete the other. I suspect the shift in the species was due to other factors, perhaps an environmental shift, human influence, or a shift in the food web.

So glad one of my favorite under appreciated mons got a new form and evo. Qwilfish and stantler really deserved one. Now we just gotta wait for Girafarigs turn lol
Overqwil is honestly one of my favorite new mons in Legends. It looks so absurd and over-the-top that I actually really like it. Plus it's Shiny is great.
on blending in to other fishmons the colour of the new Qwilfish helps a lot as it breaks away from the usual palette associated with other fish. Meanwhile Overqwil is a perfect evolution, it's Qwilfish taken to the logical extreme of absurdity by being a living ball of "nature why?" the splatoon vibe is also welcome as it looks like what an enemy that serves as a floating hazard would be designed as, speaking of hazard it also has a bit of sea mine going on. in general between basculin/legion and this it feels like gamefreak is trying to make the fish feel more like pokemon and less like filler for water encounters.
The thing about the OG Quillfish was, that, compared to many other Water Pokemon, or even all of Gen 2 Pokémon, it wasn’t ether memorable, or even GOOD to use. It’s just a very rare Pokemon, that’s it…… BUT HISUIAN QUILLFISH AND OVERQUILL!!!! DAM!!
The the cool thing about regional variants, it lets otherwise unremarkable pokemon that have more or less been forgotten to get a new 'coat of paint' as it were and stand out just that bit more
Best part about the whole pufferfish obsession is that it doesn't even taste like anything special. Supermarket grade frozen fish sticks have more flavor in them.
H. Qwilfish and Overqwil are legit my favorite addition in L:A. Qwilfish's new design is so cute and Overqwil is charmingly extra, and its name is probably my favorite pun in the series.
Confessional, I've always been fond of Qwilfish. Perhaps because it's one of those Pokémon that never really seemed to be given any kind of love by the larger reaches of the franchise. Seeing it in New Pokémon Snap in such a spotlight focus I feel in retrospect was a way for them to subtly remind fans it existed before Legends came out and introduced its evolution.

Can't wait for the video about Avalugg. All my friends say it's supposed to be an icebreaker, when to me the front CLEARLY looks like the kind of snow plow they have on plow trains in Hokkaido. Even moreso the shiny. You gotta settle this
It's largely based on a proposed ice ship. England was seriously considering making a battleship made of ice during World War 2. It was called project habakkuk.
This is honestly really pretty cool to see, I just had to read a whole thing about fugu for one of my courses, this was a neat crossover for me, and a good vid!
I have a biomedical science degree. Not gonna lie, haven’t done anything with it since University. Hearing Lockstin say “Voltage Gated Ion Channels” and showing diagrams wasn’t something I was expecting today 😂
I must have insane Quilfish luck. Whenever I went looking for one for the pokedex I found it within like 3 fishing rods drops. I registered it, boxed it and then never thought about it again until I went looking for it for Pokedex purposes and found it in less than 5 minutes.
We don't talk about Qwilfish- *Later* A One foot Frame Spines across its Back When he calls your name It all fades to black Yeah, he sees your motion And feasts on your poison (hey!) We should talk about Qwilfish, yes, yes, yes! (We don't talk about Qwilfish, no, no, no!) We should talk about Qwilfish (we don't talk about Qwilfish!) {It's an endangered species}
Aw, man! There's a qwilfish plushie? I want one, it's so cute. And I heard before someone asked what the poison fish tastes like, someone replied its just a normal fish taste, you're paying for the thrill of the adventure.
I really like the visual gag/detail of the Quilfish becoming more and more burnt in the 1st Lockstin restaurant scene. Kudos for that! This was a fun video 🤣
Whenever you see a shiny, save your game. The game saves specific instances of Pokemon, so if you reload while in the presence of a shiny, it'll still be shiny when you reload.
A friend of mine put it best, I think: "The edge of death is where a person feels the most alive." Living is something we generally take for granted, but when there's an immediate moment wherein it's possibly about to be taken from us, we fully appreciate what a wonderful thing living is, and all we want is to live a little longer. There is also the fact that humans are incredibly stupid. Heck, you don't even have to look at fugu to see that, just look at the concept of "spicy food" - spiciness isn't a flavor, it's a pain response, a DEFENSE MECHANISM that plants employ to DISCOURAGE things from eating them. So naturally, us "intelligent" humans cultivate spicy things and eat them in abundance and crave them and have a whole genre of food dedicated to them. So the mechanism specifically in place to DISCOURAGE consumption is what actually makes us WANT to eat them. Same with fugu. Kinda backfired there…evolution did not account for human stupidity… XD
@@dragonteracorps5059 Exactly. It's not even a flavor, it's literally a pain response, it's chemicals tricking the nerves in your mouth into thinking they're LITERALLY on fire, and yet us "intelligent" humans think it's delicious. XD
Reminds me of how people eat shark fin soup. Shark fins have no flavour at all, only adding texture to the soup. Not worth killing so many sharks for. But I guess it’s like “hey, I’m eating scary sea monster! Take that!” I can’t really see why anyone would eat it otherwise
Happy to see you cover this. Wasn't sure why Hisui would introduce _another_ Dark/Poison line for the region, but im glad to see you provide some insight behind the goth spiky fish.
@@notscorchingsands9718 Which means it got love... it could have just stayed old and forgotten. Even a new replacement form draws attention to the pokemon as a whole.
Relicanth is not forgettable in my opinion. I can still still remember the time I finally caught it in Pokémon Emerald. Plus, I still need it in Pokémon Go 🎣
I love qwilfish and have another idea for it’s inspiration. Perhaps the sea mine aspect could relate to how puffer fish expand as it is at least slightly similar to a sea mine’s explosion
Wasn't qwilfish pretty effective in gen 7? I seem to recall its puffing up being put to good use to intimidate opponents. Though yeah, mostly it's basically a pufferfish. Also, pufferfish poison causes headaches? I bet that's the real reason Hisuian qwilfish is dark type, so it doesn't have to worry about poisoning a psyduck and spelling its own doom.
Recently I played Pokemon Sword with a All Poison type team, and used Qwilfish and it gave me a new appreciation for it. In Pokemon Sword at least it's actually a decent Physical attacker with early access to Poison Jab. I was surprised at how good it actually was
Lockstin: The Japanese crave the Tiger pufferfish due to it being the most deadly of puffer fish. Also Lockstin: Why? Why? Why? 😱😱 The Why's of the video killed me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The nightmare of going through dozens and dozens of other Pokémon just for a creature that doesn’t evolve, has low average stats, and no abilities to make it stand on its own, is enough to make us forget. Not to mention that Toxapex overtakes. Making Qwilfish Dark Poison worked, and an evolution? It worked. But the stats for overqwil can be better.

Kyogre: I'm not fat 😓😑😡 hey Lugia wanna go on a killing spree against every single Qwilfish and Overqwil in the ocean?
Lugia: sounds like fun, I know a hot spot where they gather, I'll whip up a hurricane and you disintegrate them! 😈
Kyogre: sounds like a good plan. 😈
*Days Later*
Qwilfish: OKAY OKAY YOU WIN, WE WONT EVOLVE IN OVERQWIL ANYMORE, JUST STOP KILLING US, PLEASE. 😨
Lugia: finally I can get some sleep!
Kyogre: finally I won't get poked!
@@brotbrotsen1100 ahhh yes, the Paras of the sea.
So glad one of my favorite under appreciated mons got a new form and evo. Qwilfish and stantler really deserved one. Now we just gotta wait for Girafarigs turn lol
Girafarig Evo when
Dunsparce evo when
This aged well
Overqwil is honestly one of my favorite new mons in Legends. It looks so absurd and over-the-top that I actually really like it. Plus it's Shiny is great.
It was my first shiny
I wished the normal colors would be the shiny tbh
This video helped me get over my irrational fear of pufferfish by making it rational. Thanks Lockstin!
Poison dish with YOLO FISH!!!
Never thought a 20 minute video on Qwilfish was possible
Neither did I, but this was mostly about Fugu so I’m thankful for that. Qwilfish is the worst Pokémon ever.
@@cindyskullz bruh💀 no need to get personal, qwilfish is the fugu ITSELF so why'd you guys be surprised? Thats literally the whole point of the vid.
Funny, video came out just when I was grinding Qwilfish to evolve it for the "Sea Legend" quest. Made the entire grind a lot more interesting.
When I saw Qwilfish for the first time, I caught one and named it Hootie. And wondered where the rest of his band went so I could catch them. XD
You deserve all the thumbs ups.
BLOWFIIIIIISH
Excuse me while I rename either my Manaphy or Phione "Hootie."
on blending in to other fishmons the colour of the new Qwilfish helps a lot as it breaks away from the usual palette associated with other fish.
Meanwhile Overqwil is a perfect evolution, it's Qwilfish taken to the logical extreme of absurdity by being a living ball of "nature why?" the splatoon vibe is also welcome as it looks like what an enemy that serves as a floating hazard would be designed as, speaking of hazard it also has a bit of sea mine going on.
in general between basculin/legion and this it feels like gamefreak is trying to make the fish feel more like pokemon and less like filler for water encounters.
The thing about the OG Quillfish was, that, compared to many other Water Pokemon, or even all of Gen 2 Pokémon, it wasn’t ether memorable, or even GOOD to use. It’s just a very rare Pokemon, that’s it……
BUT HISUIAN QUILLFISH AND OVERQUILL!!!!
DAM!!
Minor correction: It’s Qwilfish and Overqwil. W instead of U, and one L instead of two.
it was fine in competitive play.
The the cool thing about regional variants, it lets otherwise unremarkable pokemon that have more or less been forgotten to get a new 'coat of paint' as it were and stand out just that bit more
I always liked my pissed off looking ball of hate.
They should’ve done the opposite and get rid of qwilfish all together. Instead I have to do what no one else will and hunt them to extinction myself.
Best part about the whole pufferfish obsession is that it doesn't even taste like anything special.
Supermarket grade frozen fish sticks have more flavor in them.
While I can't confirm that in any way, I would be entirely unsurprising since the slices essentially look like unflavoured gelatin.
H. Qwilfish and Overqwil are legit my favorite addition in L:A. Qwilfish's new design is so cute and Overqwil is charmingly extra, and its name is probably my favorite pun in the series.
17:52 I love how he looks at the first picture and is just like :| no
I honestly forget about Qwilfish's existence most of the time then I see it in game and go "When did they add this?"
I legit thought it was from Gen 4 until Lockstin mentioned that it was from Gen 2.
@@mastermarkus5307 I mean it is a decent annoyance in gen 4. gen 2 I still haven't seen one
14:30 Lockstin: No Way Home
Confessional, I've always been fond of Qwilfish. Perhaps because it's one of those Pokémon that never really seemed to be given any kind of love by the larger reaches of the franchise. Seeing it in New Pokémon Snap in such a spotlight focus I feel in retrospect was a way for them to subtly remind fans it existed before Legends came out and introduced its evolution.
I've also been find of qwilfish, I was so excited to get a new form
I always hated it. It ruined my Christmas when I ran into a full odds shiny qwilfish
I could say the same for Whiscash
In anatomy this last week and the week before, we were just learning about neurons and how their sodium and potassium gates and pumps work.
It's so nice to understand what people are talking about when it comes to science and the bodies of humans and animals.
Lockstin is amazing. Never would I think I would watch a video this long about the history of fugu and be engaged the whole time, and yet here I am.
What is going to happen in future chapter of Golden Kamuy
Saichi runs to check if Asirpa is alive and well. Saichi then realises it is the same woman that saved his butt from a bear years ago. Asirpa has changed a lot, as she grew from a small adorable Ainu girl into a beautiful large breasted opulent full breasted Ainu woman that has natural floatation devices and starts to crush on him. Then she asks him if he could take off his shirt and if she can touch his abs. Saichi takes of his shirt and Asirpa starts to stroke his abs. Then she says 'Oh my Saichi, those abs have hardened so much and are now so hard that if someone else punched you into stomach, their hand would turn into dust'. Then he says 'Asirpa, my darling, those breasts are large, soft and bouncy and you can use them to mesmerize opponents'. After that, Asirpa gives Saichi smooches and he gets covered in kiss smudges
Saichi 10 years later: 🧥💪💪🧢🐴🌳🥦🥬🍆🥒🍏🔫🥃❄☃️⛄🌨
Asirpa 10 years later: 💋💕💟💌💄🐰🏹🌹🍈🍈🍮🍑🍒🍓🍇🍫🍷🍦🍧🍨❄☃️⛄🌨
13:25 lol the speach bubble
0:27 Us Colosseum players talk about it. It's one of the most annoying Shadow Pokemon to catch in the game.
Thank you, that inflation joke made me spit out my breakfast laughing. I agree with the editor 🤣
"Three years of training"
Fugu should be the final boss of cooking mama.
9:19 I love how the two other versions of you are in the background wearing hats as well xD
Can't wait for the video about Avalugg. All my friends say it's supposed to be an icebreaker, when to me the front CLEARLY looks like the kind of snow plow they have on plow trains in Hokkaido. Even moreso the shiny. You gotta settle this
It's largely based on a proposed ice ship. England was seriously considering making a battleship made of ice during World War 2. It was called project habakkuk.
It's mainly based on icebreakers, especially because base Avalugg is based on aircraft carriers (due to how they carry Bergmite around on them)
This is honestly really pretty cool to see, I just had to read a whole thing about fugu for one of my courses, this was a neat crossover for me, and a good vid!
9:19 I love how in the background, you can see lockstin’s past avatars
Self Destruct hits differently when there is poisonous shrapnel in the explosion.
Not as bad as Skuntank using Explosion though, that’s just straight-up mustard gas.
@@Glory2Snowstar Truth! Now that I think of it Skuntank can use Flamethrower so its explosion would be more fiery too!
“I’ve gone and made myself sad again” same lockstin same
I have a biomedical science degree. Not gonna lie, haven’t done anything with it since University. Hearing Lockstin say “Voltage Gated Ion Channels” and showing diagrams wasn’t something I was expecting today 😂
tbf the video was more about how Japanese eating habits make Lockstins head hurt than about how Quilfish and Overquil are
I must have insane Quilfish luck. Whenever I went looking for one for the pokedex I found it within like 3 fishing rods drops. I registered it, boxed it and then never thought about it again until I went looking for it for Pokedex purposes and found it in less than 5 minutes.
Our man Lockstin was more concerned with the death of Fugu fish than Qwilfish orgins.
6:50 Haha! Puffer fish eating a carrot!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That meme is so good!
We don't talk about Qwilfish-
*Later*
A One foot Frame
Spines across its Back
When he calls your name
It all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your motion
And feasts on your poison (hey!)
We should talk about Qwilfish, yes, yes, yes! (We don't talk about Qwilfish, no, no, no!)
We should talk about Qwilfish (we don't talk about Qwilfish!)
{It's an endangered species}
Aw, man! There's a qwilfish plushie? I want one, it's so cute. And I heard before someone asked what the poison fish tastes like, someone replied its just a normal fish taste, you're paying for the thrill of the adventure.
I really like the visual gag/detail of the Quilfish becoming more and more burnt in the 1st Lockstin restaurant scene. Kudos for that! This was a fun video 🤣
All it needs is a physical Dark move for me to adore it
how has he not talked about the fact that overqwil was the qwilfish with long spikes from that one sinnoh story with Manaphy?
3:29 now that's a "blow" fish
I love how every time a plush talks it calss Lockstin Father it gets me every time XD
I love when he throated the plush tail
I found a shiny quilfish 3 hours into playing legends Arceus but is used self destruct🤯
Self destruct doesn’t kill in PLA though-
Hunted for 5 days to get mine
Dude why didn’t you save
Whenever you see a shiny, save your game. The game saves specific instances of Pokemon, so if you reload while in the presence of a shiny, it'll still be shiny when you reload.
@@Robo2k_
It does deal a ton of recoil damage, which could KO it.
"Freakin' beans on toast monsters!" Why is that what I took away from this video?! 😂
A friend of mine put it best, I think: "The edge of death is where a person feels the most alive." Living is something we generally take for granted, but when there's an immediate moment wherein it's possibly about to be taken from us, we fully appreciate what a wonderful thing living is, and all we want is to live a little longer.
There is also the fact that humans are incredibly stupid. Heck, you don't even have to look at fugu to see that, just look at the concept of "spicy food" - spiciness isn't a flavor, it's a pain response, a DEFENSE MECHANISM that plants employ to DISCOURAGE things from eating them. So naturally, us "intelligent" humans cultivate spicy things and eat them in abundance and crave them and have a whole genre of food dedicated to them. So the mechanism specifically in place to DISCOURAGE consumption is what actually makes us WANT to eat them. Same with fugu. Kinda backfired there…evolution did not account for human stupidity… XD
Well idk about you but spicy food is delicious
@@dragonteracorps5059 Exactly. It's not even a flavor, it's literally a pain response, it's chemicals tricking the nerves in your mouth into thinking they're LITERALLY on fire, and yet us "intelligent" humans think it's delicious. XD
Reminds me of how people eat shark fin soup. Shark fins have no flavour at all, only adding texture to the soup. Not worth killing so many sharks for.
But I guess it’s like “hey, I’m eating scary sea monster! Take that!”
I can’t really see why anyone would eat it otherwise
There is no Qwil like Overqwil!
I died when he just pulled out Ebisu-sensei from Naruto
Very well explained Lockstin. everything about this episode made my day, good work all :D
I always thought Overquil's spike looking like a rose compass being a reference to the sea's legend, where it helped someone cross an ocean
Give your editor a raise, that was hilarious
Happy to see you cover this. Wasn't sure why Hisui would introduce _another_ Dark/Poison line for the region, but im glad to see you provide some insight behind the goth spiky fish.
I'm really glad Qwilfish finally got some love. I enjoy using it and it's new found evolution a lot!
But he didn't get love.... they replaced it
@@notscorchingsands9718 Which means it got love... it could have just stayed old and forgotten. Even a new replacement form draws attention to the pokemon as a whole.
@@taylord2006 Some just get replaced.... rip Muk
“Because of how humans are we won’t need to worry about them dying of Fugu anymore!”
Now that’s some Dark humour about Poison.
ive loved overqwil the first time i saw it leaked its one of my favorite new pokemon
I almost died when he said: “… fish blowing video”
Relicanth is not forgettable in my opinion. I can still still remember the time I finally caught it in Pokémon Emerald. Plus, I still need it in Pokémon Go 🎣
It's weird how I hate normal qwilfish but love hisuian qwilfish and its evolution.
Lockstin I love your deep dives into the Pokemon and their real life inspirations. 👍👍👍
When I first saw Overqwil I instantly related it to that fat octo samurai from Splatoon 2, glad he did too
1:38 AYO
I love qwilfish and have another idea for it’s inspiration. Perhaps the sea mine aspect could relate to how puffer fish expand as it is at least slightly similar to a sea mine’s explosion
17:58 Lockstin… why The F***!!!
9:31 Love the old avatar designs hiding in the background
Wasn't qwilfish pretty effective in gen 7? I seem to recall its puffing up being put to good use to intimidate opponents. Though yeah, mostly it's basically a pufferfish. Also, pufferfish poison causes headaches? I bet that's the real reason Hisuian qwilfish is dark type, so it doesn't have to worry about poisoning a psyduck and spelling its own doom.
0:23 Aye bruh, I'm not gonna tolerate any qwilfish slander. It's been one of my favorites since Crystal version/Stadium 2
0:51 HOW DARE YOU CALL TYNAMO FORGETABLE
I like how he just murders his past OC for a demonstration
Recently I played Pokemon Sword with a All Poison type team, and used Qwilfish and it gave me a new appreciation for it. In Pokemon Sword at least it's actually a decent Physical attacker with early access to Poison Jab. I was surprised at how good it actually was
I like the older avatars being used as background characters
Honestly, i would love to try out fugu, just out of curiousity on how it tastes
Takes like the fear of death
Your funeral
Get some farm fish fugu free of the offending bacteria, with no poisonous qualities.
Lockstin: The Japanese crave the Tiger pufferfish due to it being the most deadly of puffer fish.
Also Lockstin: Why? Why? Why? 😱😱
The Why's of the video killed me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The nightmare of going through dozens and dozens of other Pokémon just for a creature that doesn’t evolve, has low average stats, and no abilities to make it stand on its own, is enough to make us forget. Not to mention that Toxapex overtakes.
Making Qwilfish Dark Poison worked, and an evolution? It worked.
But the stats for overqwil can be better.
Toxapex overtakes, crown of thorns gang represent.
Bane bunker forever!
I wonder who the first person to say "How do I eat this deadly fish and not die?" was
It brings me great joy to know that, even if I'm not into it, there is at least one person out there who loves Qwilfish to death
In what manner? People are weird and sexualize everything they can
@@youtubestudiosucks978 in the not weird way
@@youtubestudiosucks978 The food way!
This was 80% talking about fugu and 20% about qwilfish
"What is wrong with you?"
Me immediately: EVERYTHING
I love how all the Pokemon he says no one even remembers (like Roselia) always leaves me going "Hey, I like that pokemon"
Love it 10/10
