Hisuian Lilligant seemed weird at first, but its stats and couple with the ability Hustle and the move Victory Dance can turn it very powerful if used correctly.
Being a big Lilligant advocate for four generations, noting how it got so little attention since its debut, a whole new form and a BOSS FIGHT was spectacular! As a side note, I believe Lilligant’s line may also be based on onions. Petilil has been noted as having bitter leaves that can cure things like fatigue like a green onion and is vaguely onion shaped as well as Lilligant’s head. Hisuian Lilligant then is similar to spring onions with their long shape and red parts resembling Hisuian Lilligant’s legs
I would say its normal design (and petilil) look closer to garlic than green onion based on the bulb shape and the leaves, but you have a point with the Hisuian one and the spring onion look.
I swear I was blown away by just how strong this thing is when I finally used it in my (now 5th, I think) playthriugh of Black/White. Over the years I always thought it's about as good as budew. Yeah no, it was much stronger than my starter, Oshawott, and was able to one shot even tankier Pokemon without any buffs. It can't be confused, it does massive damage, even as a Petilil and it can buff its Sp. Atk AND Sp. Def?! This thing is amazing, man! Easily that playthrough's MVP
when I saw hisuian Lilligant, I saw a pokemon I would cherish throughout time and a permanent addition to my teams from now on, weither it's Hisuian itself or the regular Unovian form
Been designing this one character for years who I now have to make a finished model of by May 6th. Turns out he bears a striking resemblance to Hisulligant, so my new creepy mannequin plant that kicks good has actually been a massive help for me both in-game and out!
@@ksoundkaiju9256 He looks like one, could see him as a Ghost/Fighting-Type! He's a slender white and indigo Spanish thespian ghost. Actually looks similar to Gallade in some aspects, too.
i already liked hisuian lilligant, but this just makes me like her even more. also, the idea of her as opposing nobunaga, represented by samurott, really hits, because both of her types counter samurott’s, that’s really neat

Honestly, the idea that dancers can’t kick ass always made me chuckle. As a black belt, let me tell you: flexibility and footwork are incredibly important. And these are the core of dancing. If you can dance, you are ready to kick some ass. All you need is to learn technique for turning pirouettes into bone breaking roundhouses.
TPC seems to just have forgotten that Conquest exists. Koeitmo seems to always be good for crossovers though (albeit mostly with their Musou Warriors games but Yo-Kai Watch did get one with the Three Kingdoms equivalent of Nobunaga's Ambition, almost as though to spite TPC lol) so there's nothing stopping it for happening.
I’m just really happy that Lilligant got a new form, she’s one of my favorite grass types and her design is really cute. Not only does her new form look really adorable but she’s freakin powerful too. Finally she can learn some good moves that isn’t just grass type moves.
@@madjester9844 I'm praying that Triple Axel is somehow in Scarlet/Violet. Since Lilligant is confirmed to be in those games, and it's confirmed that Hisui mons can be transferred there. She would have such a great movepool
I did not plan on using a Liligant in Arceus. I ended up sweeping half of the final boss with her. His Togekiss missed an air slash, and the rest was easy
If somebody is good at something. Like really, REALLY good at something, do NOT underestimate the hell that they had to go through to get to that point. Everybody's got skills, respect them.

This is what I like when it comes to Gamefreak, it's that there's more to it when creating these Pokemon designs but some of the lore and ideas that comes to them. Even for all the old and new Pokemon that Lockstin resarches on and I applaud him for that, keep up the good work Lockstin.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hisuan Lilligants signature move would be so busted in a competitive setting. Not only does it raise her attack and defense, it boosts damage by 50% on top of that and raises her action speed.
I dunno with its a coincidence or not but a very famous ballet called "The Rite of Spring" was made and composed by a russian called Igor Stravinsky, and this ballet is quite different with very "primal" and fierce movements. Better check it out first, I see quite a resemblence.
I used to not like Hisuian Lilligant design. When I heard through the leak cycle of Arceus that it was getting a form I thought with everything we knew about the theme of the other Hisuian forms being extinct or at least rare that we'd get a wild Lilligant not a ballerina. Now hisuian lilligant is just as cool as it unovan form
Hisuian Samurott, a Water/Dark type, is based on Nobunaga. Hisuian Lilligant, a Grass/Fighting type, is based on his sister, Oichi. Grass and Fighting are super effective against Water and Dark respectively. Oichi opposed Nobunaga's ambitions. Coincidence? I think not!
As a future professorial ballet dancer studying in russia (I’m Mexican though) I never thought about Lilligant’s connection with Japanese ballet (because as you said, Russia is more well known for ballet) but now it all makes sense to me! Also the connection to ice skating is something I missed. Great video! I loved it.
It’s about time my favorite new form of the games got a video. I though it was related to some kind of dancing, but not ice skating of all things. The Pokédex did say that this form of Lilligant did live in the snowy mountains of Hisui, so that’s probably why it’s shows look like skates.

Me, who grew up both watching Little Einsteins and listening to an audio drama about Tchaikovsky: *(torn on whether to laugh or scream in frustration)* ITS PRONOUNCED PETER ILLY-ICTCH CHAI-COUGH-SKI
Honestly, going by the thumbnail, I thought this was going to be an in depth video explaining how or why Hisuian Lilligant has two feet when the Unovan one seems to have 4
She has one, actually. The little nubs are conjoined into a root-like thing. You can see it when she moves in the overworld or in the camp in SWSH; has to hop everywhere
7:02 "And is seemingly pure and innocent" Yea, *seemingly.* This absolute MONSTER destroyed my team in P.Showdown beacuse apparently it can learn quiver dance, FREAKING QUIVER DANCE
I love running Lilli. She suffers from the grass-type curse of lack of coverage, but makes up for it with versatility in held items. Sub-leftovers, sleep powder focus-sash, kee berry for double-defense... And, of course, the sheer destructive power of a 120 bp STAB move coming off a 110 spatk stat with no downsides because of Own Tempo. In natdex, run hp rock and lure and MURDER Charizard and Volcarona. Absolutely beautiful little flower that can decimate teams if prepared properly
You TRULY CAN’t just judge by leaked 3D Models alone. I wasn't sure at first til I saw what a stylish & graceful dancer the Noble was. If it weren't for Decidueye OR Torterra, I would have chosen Hisuian Liligant as MY Grass Mon in Hisui :)
I had a mate who was a male ballet dancer. The guys would always pick on him for a bit until one day he showed us his legs. They were muscular as hell, covered in bruises and even a scar or two. It was quite terrifying. He didn’t even have to use his legs as much in performance or practice as the ladies, he just worked the hell out of those legs. During the summer we watched him axe kick a thick piece of wood. He didn’t break it, but he cracked it really badly. It broke on the third kick. It is then when my mates and I realized that this bloke’s legs have more strength then all of our total body strength combined… but we still kept teasing him because he tap-danced too
I love Hisuian Lilligant, Russian culture have brought so much to us, despite what their leader is doing, we should appreciate it and not direct hate to the Russian people.
The emotions I felt seeing one of my top 5 favorite Pokemon on the thumbnail, excited that Lockstin was doing a video on her, only to read the caption.
Lockstep you mentioned how lillgant inspiration as the guys sister and how samurott is the guy or whatever and said they are at odds and lilligants typing are each super effective
I like the fact that loggstin is making mentions of Pokemon conquest more often because it's a real gem of a gem of a game, though it does take long to 100% it so keep this in mind this game will take hundreds of hours to complete even if you're dedicated.
Pure hard, pun fully intended, facts about the ballet dancers, they are intense. Before drama practice one day our director was late, so our dance coordinator warmed us up, and put us through a ballet warm up, it was the most brutal thing in my life, boot camp was a comparative joke.
For a while I thought H-Lilligant was wearing straw boots, as it's stated that it's legs were meant to allow it to traverse snowy terrain, and I still believe this is partially the case. But I really like the figure skating theory behind it as well.
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffe
Lilligant is one of my favorite 'mons and I'm so glad she got a cool Hisuian form that is so rooted in Hokkaido lore. She was a firm addition to my Arceus team
I love seeing all the inspirations that go into these Pokémon. Also, the essential oil rant at the beginning was really annoying and I wish you wouldn't talk crap on other people's beliefs no matter how strange they are to you.
For once I dont feel as ignorant as lockstin with pronunciations it was funny watching him figure Tchaikovsky cha kov ski that easy but ofc I don't expect him to know it was a good attempt
Ice Skating is also a hell lot more dangerous than ballet, given you risk tripping and slamming head first on ice or risk cutting someone’s throat with your feet! Yeah, ice skating is intense!
i'm just glad i can care about it now that it has actually good typing and stats. should be a fine addition to sun teams with chlorophyll and solar blade.
I haven't been able to smell since 2012 and only now during the aromatherapy benefits portion of this video realize it's why I always feel sick. Smell is more important than I thought.
The effort and research you do for your videos are so impressive that it makes me respect Pokémon more than I used to because every Pokémon has multiple inspirations and refrences to history. Also side noted after I completed the story in legends Arceus and attempted to beat Volo. I kept losing because my Avalugg was so useless, heck it was at level 87 with a plus special defense nature, and still got one shot by Garchomps Earth Power because he had a whopping 98 special defense. It got so bad I brought my highly underleveled Lilligant who ended up doing more in the one fight than What Avalugg did for me the whole game. After that, she easily became of of my favorite Pokémon.
You forgot one key factor about Hisuian Lilligant. It adapted to live in snowy mountains, so ice skating could be an ability it gained due to Hisui's cold climate.
Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky isn't that hard of a name to pronounce. But Lemme break it down. (Pee-yeet-er · Ill-Eee-itch · Chive-coughs-key) Maybe it was a joke, maybe it's not, but I hope my break down helps. Also good video, lots of interesting facts and deep dives. Lilligant is pretty uwu.
To further the Oichi thing at the end where she’s against Nobunaga, Hisuian Liligant’s types perfectly counter Hisuian Samurott’s types. Grass beats water and fighting beats dark
good use of essential oils: liking the smell of lavender or peppermint or whatever else because it helps soothe and relax you bad use of essential oils: liking the smell of lavender or peppermint or whatever else so you don’t get vaccinated
As a professional ballroom dancer, I can guarantee that ballet and ballroom are both incredibly taxing and difficult, just in different aspects. Ballet is still very intense and impressive, but not really separate from ballet.
I came here for Pokémon got politics, No thanks. Aside from the political commentary I did enjoy the information on Pokémon and cultural associations. And I loved the connection pointed out of Ballet and Martial arts.
@@GermanKinsmen Clearly the first 6min of this video was different to each of us. Intellectualism is different from political statements. Again, I came for the Pokémon and potential cultural influences on said Pokémon, not the politics.
@@lythnookwemin Making fun of antivaxers isn't political, it's common sense and a public courtesy. You claiming it is just proves you're ignorant on the subject.

When I saw Hisuian Lilligant, I felt a connection to her. I actually took Ballet for 6 years and loved it. Seeing her reminded me of those days. ^_^
I felt a different connection ;)
I felt similar to you with that though my stage presence was acting. But I’ve always admired dancers, especially ballet.
SAME I did ballet for 7-8 years so seeing Hisuian Lilligant was such a joy for me

Something something Happy Feet
With so many references to Nobunaga and the older setting of Hisui, I hope it means we’ll get a 3d remaster or sequel to Pokémon Conquest!
Yes but, later. Colosseum and XD first.

A ballet dancer should not be underestimated. Never pick a fight with one, never look down on one cause they know pain in ways you can’t imagine.
As someone who takes martial arts and has tried ballet, I REALLY enjoyed this video! The comparison between martial arts an ballet is "en pointe" :)
Making ballet jokes? I'll have to doble passe on that.
@@ggrarl 😂🤣
I actually happened to know about the blood, sweat, and pain that goes into ballet because of a book series about werewolves of all things...
6:16 In addition, the pinkish-purple legs of Hisuian Lilligant are very reminiscent of the color of the mint stems.
Never let it be said that Lockstin doesn't appreciate plant-themed Pokewaifus. For science, of course.
Lilligant is this one pokemon that I feel that deserves more love than getting a hisuian form, she's so cute and quite underrated

Hisuian Samurott, a Water/Dark type, is based on Nobunaga.
Hisuian Lilligant, a Grass/Fighting type, is based on his sister, Oichi.
Grass and Fighting are super effective against Water and Dark respectively.
Oichi opposed Nobunaga's ambitions.

Certain essential oils do absolutely have actual medicinal uses. Not for cancer or anything, but as a local pain killer or something.
I love seeing all the inspirations that go into these Pokémon. Also, the essential oil rant at the beginning was really annoying and I wish you wouldn't talk crap on other people's beliefs no matter how strange they are to you.
So pretty much lilligant is a dancer by heart no matter how you look at it its a dancer with so much skill
For once I dont feel as ignorant as lockstin with pronunciations it was funny watching him figure Tchaikovsky cha kov ski that easy but ofc I don't expect him to know it was a good attempt
Ice Skating is also a hell lot more dangerous than ballet, given you risk tripping and slamming head first on ice or risk cutting someone’s throat with your feet! Yeah, ice skating is intense!
Lilligant is my favorite Pokémon of all time I love her 😍
That "one more thing" bit brought back memories. Jackie Chan Adventures was such a great show.
i'm just glad i can care about it now that it has actually good typing and stats. should be a fine addition to sun teams with chlorophyll and solar blade.
The "Waifu PLANT" line got me ngl
I haven't been able to smell since 2012 and only now during the aromatherapy benefits portion of this video realize it's why I always feel sick. Smell is more important than I thought.
so in short, Hisuian Liligant is Oichi who learn intense Russian Ballet Dance moves to play Ice Skating in Hokkaido?
Hisuian Lilligant is such a breath of fresh air.🌸🌸🌸
The effort and research you do for your videos are so impressive that it makes me respect Pokémon more than I used to because every Pokémon has multiple inspirations and refrences to history. Also side noted after I completed the story in legends Arceus and attempted to beat Volo. I kept losing because my Avalugg was so useless, heck it was at level 87 with a plus special defense nature, and still got one shot by Garchomps Earth Power because he had a whopping 98 special defense. It got so bad I brought my highly underleveled Lilligant who ended up doing more in the one fight than What Avalugg did for me the whole game. After that, she easily became of of my favorite Pokémon.
Out of all the Hissuian variants, I wasn't expecting Lilligant to get one, but by God is she my favorite!
Avalugg was the biggest curveball for me. Unfortunately they made it even worse in type/stats x.x
You forgot one key factor about Hisuian Lilligant. It adapted to live in snowy mountains, so ice skating could be an ability it gained due to Hisui's cold climate.
FINALLY! An episode dedicated to feet! I’m so happy.
oh just you wait
Is it just me or is his hair getting more and more anime by the video? I dig it.
Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky isn't that hard of a name to pronounce. But Lemme break it down.
(Pee-yeet-er · Ill-Eee-itch · Chive-coughs-key)
Maybe it was a joke, maybe it's not, but I hope my break down helps. Also good video, lots of interesting
facts and deep dives. Lilligant is pretty uwu.
Breloom and lilligant are my two favs and I agree, she is tryna steal his thunder
I prefer the original lilligant.
I like both
To further the Oichi thing at the end where she’s against Nobunaga, Hisuian Liligant’s types perfectly counter Hisuian Samurott’s types. Grass beats water and fighting beats dark
good use of essential oils: liking the smell of lavender or peppermint or whatever else because it helps soothe and relax you
bad use of essential oils: liking the smell of lavender or peppermint or whatever else so you don’t get vaccinated
Small thing, but I'm really enjoying how these hisuian form vids also explain the original forms as well!
I mean, I think he conflated conservatives with antivaxers, which is incorrect, but whatever.
As a professional ballroom dancer, I can guarantee that ballet and ballroom are both incredibly taxing and difficult, just in different aspects. Ballet is still very intense and impressive, but not really separate from ballet.
Can't quite put my finger on why, but I get the sneaking suspension that this fella isn't a conservative.
Find it funny that in PLA, my Alpha Lilligant is only about as big as my starter Decidueye.
Well, an alpha of a pokemon that's 4' isn't going to be enormous
Good video minus the liberal whining
YO IM WATCHING THIS AS OF THE TEAL MASK DLC AND HISUIAN LILLIGANT ICE SKATES AS ITS WALKING ANIMATION
I came here for Pokémon got politics, No thanks. Aside from the political commentary I did enjoy the information on Pokémon and cultural associations. And I loved the connection pointed out of Ballet and Martial arts.
Yeah, because pointing at blatant intellectualism is totally political.
@@GermanKinsmen Clearly the first 6min of this video was different to each of us. Intellectualism is different from political statements. Again, I came for the Pokémon and potential cultural influences on said Pokémon, not the politics.
@@lythnookwemin Making fun of antivaxers isn't political, it's common sense and a public courtesy. You claiming it is just proves you're ignorant on the subject.
The research and effort that goes into these videos is incredible! I'm also glad that a mon that felt quite filler for me got a cool new form in hisui
I came here for Pokemon, not your political views. I agree with what you are saying, but I don't want politics in media I want to enjoy.
02:48 I am literally a bus ride away from Little Tokyo LA which has stuff like all kinds of Japanese snacks, an udon place, a ramen place, a taiyaki stand and a grocery with spicy tuna onigiri, this does _not at all_ appeal to me.
