I loved the video! However, I have a gripe with the fact about Pokemon Go, the one about the flying type wallpaper. There are actually three Pokemon that have that background. Tornados, Noibat, and Noivern! Other then that, love the new information!
Noibat also uses the flying background
The fact about the background is wrong phin
If i remember correctly, if you use smack down on a flying type… They actually are weak to it. I don’t quite know if it’s true but I think it might be.
@@ConnortheGonnor smack down is a rock type move so of course flying is weak to it. The grounded effect is applied after you deal damage.
With the pokemon go fact about the flying background there's actually a second pokemon who uses it and it's noibat since it goes based on the pokemon primary typing and noibats primary typing is flying it uses the flying background
The same is true for Noivern, too.
thanks! Im not an avid pogo player, totally forgot noivern has primary flying! missed that one woops! I wonder how long the time gap was where tornadus was alone with the backround🤔
@@BlueBoyPhin Noibat was released on December 2nd 2020, while Tornadus was released on February 4th, 2020. So a gap of nearly 10 months! Source is the Pokémon Go fandom wiki.
And soon enough, rookidee, corvisquire, and corviknight will too since their primary type is also flying.
@@gabo7395 "soon"
They only just dropped gen 7, gen 8 will be awhile
6:46 Noibat and Noivern use the Flying Walpaper in Pokémon Go. This is due to flying being their primary type and Dragon being their secondary type. While Tornadus is currently the only pure Flying type in Go, and was the first to use the Walpaper, he is no longer the only one to use it.
beat me to it
Was actually checking Noibat in Go to comment this, but I couldn't be 100% on Noivern (as in, I couldn't actually check it to see myself) because the only Noivern I have is lucky. Oops.
@@pandoraeve9751 no one asked
I remember thinking it's a bug when I saw that flying type background for the first time lol. What is it with flying types always having flying as 2nd type, and why tf do they even have normal
I was going to say that as well but I guess I was 3 days late XD
I love that the Aerodatyle was called "Lance Cheated" but shortened so it fits as a nickname
First time ive heard anyone mention the pokepark series in years, remember playing 1 and 2 when i was a kid and they were some of my favourite games as a kid. So underrated. Thanks for bringing back the memories of these great games
The clefairy theme being used in Legends Arceus is such an amazing nod to the original games and it's not the only one.
What are the other ones?
I think arceus was just a warm up for gen 9, too. I dont want to get my hopes too high, but it might be even better!
@@classyrobot5648 well given how most of the Pokémon games on the switch have Pokémon in the overworld they're definitely going to be back in gen 9 the way they are in Legends. Legends, as amazing and fun as it is, it's clearly just the beginning of the true next generation. Fully open world, Pokémon roaming around, beautiful setting. It's okay getting excited just as long as it's understood that it's still just Pokémon, it won't be perfect. But it'll be fun like all the rest.
Honestly that Porygon-Z sound is perfect.
Voice-replicating AI that is publicly available online is really prone to sounding like general mumbling once it has to process too much information, and that Porygon-Z sounds exactly like some of the examples I've heard.
Porygon-Z is a weird little man, and that weird little voice is perfect
I think a regular Porygon should have an 8-bit or digitized voice. First thing I think of is the old Intellivision Intellivoice. It's more known to this generation because of the Angry Video Game Nerd episode where he goes "Beeee seventeeeen booooomber!".
After that, Porygon 2 (which totally should have been Porygon 2.0) would have an almost normal sounding voice.
Porygon Z, since it's basically Porygon 2 glitching out, would have a garbled voice with electronic distortions showing.
That's my take on how the voices should be. But you are right, the concept of the voice replicating AI makes sense for this line. Who knows, maybe my idea for the voice for regular Porygon would fit better for an 8 bit pre evolution.
@@BfDelano Bweeee Sevunteeeeean Baaaaawmur!
@@GrouchyGander It's the most common thing people know from the talking Intellivision games :p
Space Spartans had "Hello Commander. Computer reporting".
Tron Solar Sailer had (if I remember right) "I can't do that" which management thought was saying something else other than "can't". The programmer then did a mockup of Astrosmash with a title that said "Mattel Electronics presents: Space Can't. They replaced all the graphics with pornographic ones.
Homebrewers about 8 years ago released a physical version of "Space Can't". Love having it in my collection, but I have to display the alternate side of the box when company is over lol.
Not gonna like, 169 likes can't go further
Minor correction! Porygon Z only appears in Pokepark 1, NOT 2. While park 2 does have actual anime voices, pokepark 1 has voices that are meant to be like the anime, but are *not* anime voices. While some of the major pokemon are the same (pikachu for example), they arent truly anime accurate in many cases.
A bonus fact because of the video game anime voices is that these are a very good way to get pokemon noises without risk of copyright from using an anime episode, plus not having to deal with and background music if you use the raw sound file.
Heres a bonus fact;
Porygon (not porygon Z) can be heard in the english anime!!
It appears in episode 98 (i think); A way off day off. Its in the english ‘who’s that pokemon’ bit.
This is the only time any version of porygon is heard in the english dub.
honestly, I'm very impressed with myself because I recalled that sound specifically when I heard it like 10 years ago now
You know you're killing it when dying other poketubers steal your title, and style and EVERYTHING and dont credit you at all.
You're killing it Phin
Appreciate you man. All I can do is stay true to my content, and make these videos better and better for you guys! Thank you for watching, seriously
Which one stole it?
To be fair, its a common format, just obscure facts in *insert game *
@@jacobmcfarren455 I’ll find it in a minute. They did random poke facts and got low views and when phins got a huge boost and got a ton of views he titled them exactly like Phins and had similar music and edits and everything. It was so obvious he was trying to mimic it was unreal
@@jacobmcfarren455 papasea. Just look at his history. Watch the arceus one.
I love how, if your Pokemon has Flash Fire, Marley has a tendency of targeting you in double battles with her Arcanine's Fire Fang. Such a small yet very welcome detail imo
This also happens in Multi Battles in the Battle Subway in Black and White. If you have a Pokemon with Guts, and your partner has a status inflicting move (not including Sleep or Toxic) they will target you first turn with it if you're not holding a Flame Orb. Learned that when i was using a Eviolite Gurrdur there.
@@nanidafaq7626 Well ain't that just poggers to know, nice to see that Game Freak is actually putting effort behind some of the NPCs' AIs
@@ee-sm8ey yeah, the higher-level and post-game AI tends to actually have some strategy baked into their teams. Not quite as advanced as playing against real people, but a good stepping stone for people who want to play competitively but want to have a firm understanding of strategy before they get into it.
@@RabblesTheBinx Well I hope we get more AIs with thought-out strategies in gen 9, either in the battle facility or during the story gameplay in general
I heard that one time, in a nuzlocke, someone was in a double battle with them and the rival vs the evil team, and their Pokémon was holding a confusion healing berry. The rival’s Pokémon used swagger, causing the Pokémon to effectively gain a free attack boost.
6:45
Noibat and Noivern use that wallpaper too since flying is their primary type.
making a little editors note here, there is one other pokemon that has the flying type backround now, which is the noibat line! I might try to avoid pokemon go facts from now on cause I dont play the game at all lol! also the porygon Z is in pokepark 1 not 2! thanks for watching (:
You really need to pin this comment.
Honestly, if I was GameFreak, I would most DEFINITELY keep anything they haven’t used including old Pokémon designs, music, areas, and dialogue. They could get tons of inspiration from them or even make use for it over time. I would love to see more of their unreleased things! A PokeDex of all their designs that never came to be and all their beta Pokémon! Would be so cool!
Bro thats literally what they did for area zero pikmin dood
That Clefairy mission in PLA gave me so much nostalgia for my very first pokemon game, Crystal version. Watching Clefairy gather and dance under the full moon unlocked a core memory from my childhood. And I loved it 🥲💖
of the few series on youtube that snatches a like from me everytime for how interesting they are, can tell you really put effort in the research and the script and the delivery of your words. much respect!
Thank you so much!
what's up Mohammad?
His subtle editing is what's most impressive to me, graphicly it's always simple but music is always layered perfectly for tone. Very unique and pairs well with his voice. Either extremely talented or the result of a bunch of takes.
the single only youtuber who CONSISTENTLY pulls out incredible new facts, even to someone who's been playing his whole life. absolutely incredible video with some fun, cool, and actually very cute (unused then reused clefairy music) facts. once again a top quality video.
also the music transtition at 3:00 was sick
11:53 I like how the music picks up while talking about the phantom color, accidentally implying that there will be a part-2 where you go absolutely ham about pokemon color theory or that this is some major reveal that changes everything. I got hyped for the color yellow for about three seconds before I realized it was just the end of the video.
I love the Psychic types being weak to common fears thing, I know a good chunk of players who never put 2 and 2 together on that
This literally went over my head and I've been playing since 1998...
But flying is a super common fear, and the dark type in Japanese is the Evil type and is supposed to refer to like, underhanded battle tactics.
Fire type always made sense to me idk why
OH MY GOD i never realized this!!
How come Dark is weak to Bug then?
Love seeing this series since it always gives me some new found knowledge of a franchise I’ve followed for years. Keep up the great work 😊
Just a correction for 6:10 - Porygon Z is from the first pokepark game. As someone who couldn't find him for ages, I vividly remember him being there in the first game
I played the first PokePark alot, so I know well this is the first game.
Same and I Played Both Pokepark games when I Was a Kid and at Least 100% Got All Friends in Pokepark 1
4:25 Ah yes, my favorite Pokemon.
*Deoxrai*
I can't help but wonder if the reason Venomoth originally had yellow and lost it was due to the fact that it's theorized to have swapped places in the evolution line with Butterfree. Caterpie has traces of yellow in it's palette, so seeing it carry over into the final form actually would have made sense. But since Venomoth isn't actually the final evolution of Caterpie... here we are.
Also, if you really want to dig into color palette mishaps, can we talk about how Salamence originally had the same colors as Bagon? And then didn't in Colosseum and XD, as well as Battle Revolution? Yet in gen 4, only the body color changed, and it took waiting until gen 5 to get the full colors to resemble Colosseum's? Never understood that one. With Salamence having supposed to have been called Flygon, I can't help but feel the original design for it has just been shafted over time.
I can definitely see this being at the beginning of a BlueBoyPhin video:
"Did you know that Azurill has never been a Water-type despite evolving into primary Water? .. Did you know that Salamence is theorized to actually be called Flygon?
Oh... you did?
Good."
Bagon, with the pokédex entry of "it jumps off of cliffs because it dreams of flying", evolving into Flygon would fit the narrative.
Well, yes, Venomoth and Butterfree were swapped for final evolutions. I don't know the exact reason, but the eyes are dead give-aways. Venonat and Butterfree have the same red eyes AND ANTENNAE!, while Metapod and Venomoth, and to an extent Caterpie of course, have the same eyes. It was either a mistake, or an executive decision cause Butterfree is cuter than Venomoth XD
a caterpillar wouldnt become a moth tho
@@matchas-den what? they literally do
I LOVE all of Pokemon's hidden and secret things. Awesome spinning Aerodactyl. And love the music flashback. I also want a spotted Venomoth 🥺 and cherish ball tropius
Banger video as always! The tropius and clefairy facts are by far my favorite, I love unnecessary consistency like that. The kind where only a few people will notice it makes it so much cooler that it was included in the first place!
I hope we see the Clefairy song continue to come back in the future c:
I actually didn’t know a lot of these, I heard about the Cherish Ball Tropius not to long ago, and I remember encountering the hidden item thing in gen 5! Solid video, I think these are very obscure facts most Pokémon fans wouldn’t know!
Just a phenomenal series. Only series on UA-cam that provides genuinely obscure facts that are still interesting
I noticed the cherish ball that Deanne used. I just assumed it was a mistake, or just something the devs did for fun.
I just got my first tornadus today and I knew something was weird about his bg but I didn’t put a lot of thought into it. It reminds me of toy story lol
Idk how to phrase this, but I love how the venomoth fact is written and with such a momentous final sentence. I hope I see more facts procured like that!!
6:48 actually noibat and noivern have it too but yeah it's incredibly rare. It's due to almost no Pokemon having their first type as flying. It's almost always a secondary typing
And Rookidee and Corvisqure
@@fuhouavang8197 yup but ATM they're not in pogo yet
Ahh someone beat me to the correction. :P but yeah, also worth pointing out for non pogo players, that Noibat and Noivern are very very rare. Usually only available as a PvP reward for Veteran players and above (which is quite hard to achieve)
It does spawn wild, but good luck
@@johnhawkins5314 they also spawn in 10km eggs. That's how I got mine.
So psyched to see my art in this!! Video was entertaining to watch from beginning to end! Great job, Phin!!!
This series is unbelievable dude... I've watched so many gaming fact videos over the years and I don't think I was aware of a single one of these in any of the videos I watched before seeing them in the videos. You really went the extra mile on research for this one, haha. Great series dude, thanks for all the awesome entertainment
That Clefairy Music one really blew my mind, Pokemon has been recently really leaning towards their past recently with the games referencing old and obscure characters (like Ingo) and giving them more
And also the anime bringing back older characters
4:37 I experienced this just yesterday! I was playing the Blaze Black 2 hack so I thought it was caused by that. I went to try and find the item in Opelucid City by walking through walls, but hitting the edge of the screen just took me back to Route 11.
Just now I decided to go experiment a little bit, and it seems that hitting the edge of the screen in an area will just take you to the next one. I only tried this in Nimbasa City but I assume it's the same for every other location since it happened in Opelucid City as well. Something to note is that if you do this, you completely skip the gateways between cities and routes.
My best guess is that since the item in the video is on the very edge of Route 11, the Dowsing Machine can still pick it up in Opelucid City since its within the detectable distance. The gateways are probably about 10 tiles wide (I'm just guessing at the moment, don't quote me on any numbers) when you're inside them, but when you're outside of them they have a width of about 6 or 7 tiles, which would make the item within the Dowsing Machines range, even if it's just barely.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I'm not too good at explaining stuff lol.
I love this series but it's mind-blowing how you find unique trivia.
Yo that Psychic type being weak to common fears thing just changed my life
And that was just the BEGINNING of the episode
5:07 He Remembered the Purrugly Meme What a Nice OG
The music fact reminds me of how the the "Print Error" background music in Pokemon Yellow was reused as the music for the Pokewalker in HGSS and music for the Pokeball Plus in Lets Go! (I believe the ereader theme was similar but not quite the same melody)
Pokemon seriously makes me smile with these lore references that we still find in even generation 1 today. I love this series
I remember catching a Noibat on Pokémon Go and being caught off guard by the background, because it was the first Pokémon in my years of playing that was flying-type as it's first type, so I had never seen it before
I just found out about this channel and just finished binging all the obscure fact videos. These are amazing and I hope the channel thrives! Amazing work, y0~
Phil getting a sponsor already feels surreal I’m so happy for him
thank you frog (:
these are always great
Shanger?
4:36 Something kinda similar happened to me in Pokemon Ruby. On Route 105, there's a hidden Heart Scale on a small isolated patch of sand, and directly above it there's a y-shaped line of rocks that act as a fork between the path to the Regice cave and the path to Route 106. The Itemfinder will go off on the opposite side of the rocks, but much further from the item than you'd think. While on the correct side of the rocks, you have to be right next to the island before the Itemfinder will beep, whereas on the wrong side you can be much further West and still get beeps.
In Gen 3, and only Gen 3, Spinda's spot pattern used the same line of code that determined shininess.
So, in those games only, it was impossible to find a normal and shiny Spinda with the same spot pattern with the same Original Trainer Number (As Trainer Number was part of the equation that determined Shininess).
first, some spot patterns are hit by multiple pids (where the spots are not visible in the sprite).
second, the pid is used in generations 3-5 for spinda spots, not just gen3.
third, it is possible to have a shiny and non shiny spinda with the same pid and tid, as long as you have saves with the same tid, but different sid.
i feel like being that guy is in the spirit of the video, thats why i'm even posting ^^'
6:56 in Pokémon go noibat still has the flying background to my knowledge
So excited when i heard pokepark being mentioned in this video as it's one of my biggest comfort games and part of the franchise that i love, though i must point out (this has probably been pointed out before but still) the footage is from pokepark pikachu's adventure, not pokepark 2. Porygon did not make an appearance in pokepark 2 as the second game was MOSTLY gen 5 pokemon with a few exceptions mostly pertaining to the first game, such as drifblim being the fast travel, and misdreavus being there for pictures
I wish I had discovered this channel in like two years from now. I love these videos and I’m sad that I’ve binged all the content already lmao
4:56 I can actually add to this fact.
The very same thing happens between Driftveil City and the adjacent Route 6. If you go to the very east of said Route your Dowsing Machine will point to an item in Driftveil.
That's actually a quite common occurrence due to the item its pointing to being unobtainable until you get access to Clay Tunnel, which doesn't happen until you beat the Champion.
Yep. These facts keep getting more and more obscure and I love it. I always learn something new about Pokémon.
I like the ending with the color match. You made it seem like a mistery case file had been resolved lol 😂
I like the fact you can make a discussion of a moth's spots so intense it got me on the edge of my seat. Well done
Oh my gosh I remember The deoxys event. We were going to Nintendo world for my birthday and I looked up on their website that they're doing a Darkrai event. I was so excited because Darkrai was my favorite pokémon from the movie. When we got there I got a deoxys and I was super surprised. However, because of this event, deoxys is now one of my favorites
Banger vid as always I'm curious if you had an unrelated shiny beldum like one that you hunted would the dialogue appear?
I think the flag to trigger that line of dialogue is probably in the specific distribution Pokémon's code rather than the shininess factor of that Pokémon's species, but I could be wrong.
I love these, not just because I get to learn new info about a series I’ve loved my entire life, but also because I still have many of the games so every new fact video shows something in a game I’ve played that I can either go do myself now or think “oh wow I didn’t notice that, that’s wild”
It feels like a lot of the circles I follow are very focused on current and newer Pokémon games, and that’s understandable! But I always come away from these vids reminded of why I continue to love Pokémon even past “they’re like animals with superpowers” and feeling like picking up those games again to go find these things and see them for myself (and then get lost just enjoying a game I love) - Thank you !!
1:12 this actually happened to me on accident, thanks for telling me i can get a second one
Other UA-camrs when making obscure fact videos: I bet you didn't know you can use the HM Cut to cut the grass around you!
BlueBoyPhin: The hex value of one of the two unused palettes in Venemoth's sprite is nearly identical to the one found on its Gen 1 artwork.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video man! As a hardcore fan of the series, there were a lot of facts in this video I didn't know of. Huge props to you and the research you put in, here's a new sub!
Yay you used my footage: your awesome
youre awesome! thanks for documenting!!
I love this video, but Tornadus isn't the only Pokémon in Go who has the Flying background. Noibat and Noivern have Flying as their primary type as well, so they have the Flying background too
yep I dont play pokemon go, I missed that one, thats my bad!
Omggg the Pokemon references during the sponsor segment!
That actually kept my attention instead of making me skip! Your ads are so amazing~
This maybe the first video of facts that I've not known one in years. You earned this sub
I’m pretty sure noibat also has the flying background actually
Not sure if this has been done before, but if Steven's Metang in the double battle you right with him as an ally in RSE gets enough experience to level up (usually due to a combination of Metagross' evolution level being lowered and higher exp yield due to randomizers or challenge run level boost), it will evolve. This isn't accessible except through hacking as far as I can tell, but it's a very interesting mechanic nonetheless, that in gen 3, your double battle npc partner's pokemon will be shown on screen evolving after the battle if conditions are met!
4:51 I noticed something similar in firered/leaf green. if you use the item finder on the way to victory road next to where viridian forest would be (near the 8th badge gate) you can locate the potion
I went into this thinking that I was going to know every single fact like every other Pokémon fact video on UA-cam but the Porygon Z fact was the only one I knew and that’s only because pokepark is my favorite spin off. Good shit, love to see it
These videos are great because they actually are obscure facts. I knew the Pokepark one, even though you name the wrong game, because both of them are in my top 10 ever, but everything else was new. Great stuff!
5:58 Isn't that the first Pokepark?
I'm kinda sure it is because of the minimap and the ruins theme
If i remember corectly the theme (or better a remix) you spoke of at around 9:00 is also in the slot mashine mini game in diamond and perl
I learned the hard way about that item finder thing in BW2. Took me good ammount of time trying to find it's source and how to get to it (the icing of the city didn't helped).
Noibat also uses the flying background in pogo
Loving the new avatar!
I always like the random facts at the start of your videos, it's a nice teaser for what follows shortly afterwards!
Aerodactyl is my all-time favorite fossil Pokémon. His Exclusive Earthquake dance is very sturdy
Exosion and Self Destruct should have 400 and 500 BP again. It was a fine strategy and balanced because of the huge risk inherent to sacrificing a Pokémon.
No, it would be too op given the increase in learnsets and the change in the metagame. Explosion and self-destruct are almost equally as good now as they ever were.
Wait a min, I remember that shiny Beldum, still have it and remember being so excited to retrieve it long ago. I had no idea there was special dialog because I use to skip as much talking as possible. Either that or I DID read it and just forgot about it since it's been so long, haha. Dangit, either way, very interesting!
THANK YOU for some ACTUAL obscure facts! i've seen so many of these videos where little to none of the information is obscure or new. i learned tons from this video though! great work! :)
Love this series Phin, this gives me some shiny hunting ideas…
Damn I was expecting dark secrets or “obscure” facts that really everybody knows but I’m happily surprised, this might not be the greatest of videos but at this point getting super cool details it’s really hard and you made a good job. New subscriber
That battle network 3 navi customiser song was a throwback. Thanks for bringing back great memories!
The first 10 seconds of these vids always win me over. And then you go on to deliver, every single time. Cheers to you man!
9:16 “celfairy”
i love this series so much. keep it up!!
I absolutely love this series. Pretty much everything you have gone over in these videos I didn't know
7:26 Deidera used Explosion, lol that's pretty funny cmon
2:53 is probably changed in the European and American released to reduce the risk of epileptic seizures.
That’s what I’ve been thinking
This just made my Friday! Thank you for such amazing content!
thank you for watching!! appreciate you sm!
it's so interesting how clefairy now basically has it's own theme lol
I don't know why, but I love the way you open these videos. Maybe it's because I've been a Pokémon fan since 1998 so I do tend to know most of the intro facts you use. These videos are a lot of fun, thanks for making them.
This is my escape! I’m running through this world and I’m not looking back!
I love the end music! Endless Possibility!
good ear!!!!

@@mahdude4275 you too? ;)
@@111119803 What do you mean, you too?
Always love seeing these. You end these videos in such epic ways. Can't wait for the next!
Venomoth being my favorite pokemon also being the last strange fact is quite nice
i absolutely love these videos. I hate that clickbaity title format ppl normally use, but im pretty sure you're the first youtuber to use it in a 100% literal way
6:49 A small error here: Noibat and Noivern also has the flying type wall paper because their first typing is flying, not dragon. (Flying/dragon instead of dragon/flying)
yeeah was thinking aswell
Why be pedantic.
@@anannoyedpanda Is being annoyed your whole shtick? I get It’s in your username, but the comments you’re replying to don’t seem to have any ill will.
The corrections seem warranted and feel like a genuine part of the conversation since this is a Pokémon facts video. Obscure Pokémon info is kind of the topic here.
It’s why channels like DidYouKnowGaming encourage and appreciate corrections for their work. Obviously they wouldn’t appreciate it if people were jerks about it, but I don’t think there’s any harm in anyone going “hey, this fact actually goes like this” in a polite manner when having the facts is what their videos are all about.
6:50 - as a heads up, I believe Noibat and Noivern also have that same background as Tornadus. They’re listed as “Flying/Dragon”, while every other flying type has “Flying” as the secondary typing.
So even though Tornadus is the only PURE flying type, its background in Pokémon Go is not unique.
okay phin I just wanna say that I love your transitions into ads. they're always so interesting. it's a nice little quirk that I think only you have :)
I actually did know the one about the Dragon Breath TMs. Pretty sure they programmed Clair to give you one in the Gym if you never got one from her in the Dragon's Den in case your bag was full, but obviously they never accounted for this happening. Though that's an odd thing to account for since you'd need 99 Dragon Breath TMs in the first place...
I think they never accounted for the fact that someone would go back to the dragon's den. The fact she gives you one if you go back is probably the result of how the set up the flags to trigger things to happen. So the flag for Claire to give Dragon Breath is "stand on tile at entrance of dragon den" and it will trigger "if an only if player has spoken to old man in shrine and has 8th badge". So the conditions to trigger the event stay active even if the player faints. Someone may have realized this was the case, but it was so unlikely that someone would trigger it that it was not worth is to write in an exception to that line of code for that nearly impossible scenario.
Amazing video! Yet again more Pokémon facts I didn’t know whatsoever 😍
Love this content and so excited to see more of it
5:58 Porygon-Z is in the first game not the second
6:48 Noibat and Noivern also have that background because their primary type is also flying
9:05 I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THIS LOL
I thought your message was done there
The tropius threw me off and I’ve recorded my battle with that specific trainer in Pokémon Shining pearl and I never realized that was a cherish ball I always just wondered why the hell her pokeball looked so different and I thought it was something to do with the ball capsules. Thank you for pointing out that that’s a Cherish ball because I’ve thought about that for a while and I just could not wrap my head around it.
Edit spelling bc STT isnt perfect
