You should do another "Moves that Pokémon should/shouldn't learn. It's been 6 years and there are a lot of new outrageous examples.
I agree with you Saul Goodman
Great suggestion, Saul Goodman from hit shows Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
I agree! I loved that series!
Yeah that series was fantastic. Alex loosing his mind on some of the Pokemon's move was hilarious.
Yes I loved that series!!
THANK you. Mimikyu is NOT a Pikaclone. So many people have tried to tell me that and it is just not.
I’d like to see where people stand on Pichu. A lot of people seem to think it’s not a Pika clone because it’s a pre-evolution, but the majority of people seem to label it as a Pika clone.
True, though marril is not one two!!!! The only thing linking it to pikachu is it’s name when it was a Pokégod in gen one! It’s name was pikablue!
It's a (relatively) dark parody of a pikaclone if anything, right down to imitating Pikachu in an attempt to be popular. Functionally though it's certainly not a pikaclone
@@PansyPops i for one don't count Pichu as one, if anything, I find that Pikachu clones started in gen 3 and has continued since then
Hey, if Mimikyu wants to be part of the Pikachu family, let it be part of the Pikachu family, even if it's that one weird adopted sibling.
With the Koraidon wheels thing, it could also be based on a Flintstones car, which I've not seen anybody mention before
I’ve seen a few people mention it, and a picture showing a side-by-side comparison.
Something many people fail to see, as they assume it’s supposed to have the “wheels” move like its future counterpart when it’s supposed to represent the past.
it's been said like a thousand times by now.
I have already seen the Flintstones argument in other social media. Not to mention, I've also thought about Koraidon oozing with Flintstones influence since it came out. And Im pretty sure there are others who thought about it as well even before me.
@@IgnitedQuils not like the wheel was invented a really long time ago or anything.
And everyone knows that it's a neck sac and that it makes sense logically. It's just disappointing because it looks goofy, I'm still picking it because I like the design, but moving wheels are better
If Koraidon's wheels were able to rotate, he would probably die of blood loss
Yeah, I feel like the fact that there's no organic pokémon that to date have physical, rotating wheels is an intentional choice. Some rotating parts? Sure. But wheels seem to be crossing a line. Those seem to be reserved for pokémon like Rolycoly and Carkol who are made of coal, Rotom Mow who is a lawnmower and of coarse Miraidon who is a robot. All very obvious things and materials that can have wheels with no further complications.
Because fire breathing lizards, electric mice, and turtles that can spew near infinite amounts of water make so much more sense.
@@YVH636 yes, it does
Koraidon is a living creature, not a machine. It wouldn't make any sense to have half of a spiky wheel enter your chest and come out of it without anything extreme happening to it
@@orizin8102 as if “living machines” are any more sensible. If you can suspend your disbelief for all the other absurdities in this series, I fail to see how this is such a leap.
Pikachu's black tail is based on MANY knock-off toys that were sold everywhere. Some of us did have a Pikachu toy with a black tail, maybe even playing cards, plushies, etc.
I just hate it when people say that pikachu had a black tail when he first appeared and then they changed it. Or "he always had black I use to draw him with a black tail" Like seriously did you guys not watch/play the original pokemon games!? Also your childhood drawing is noncanon!!!!!! This Mandela affect makes me just want to slap all of them for not learning that they just remembered something wrong.
@@spiritsong4026
It's not Mandela effect though, I have here on my shelf a black-tailed knock-off Pikachu figure
@@ELaster1 yeah I know. I also had a pikachu card that had a black tail. I know it's a fake cause me and my siblings are hardcore pokemon fans (that sadly got some fake cards because we were too dumb to notice).
the cosplay pikachu from ORAS has a black heart tip on it's tail, it's possible some people remember this and get it confused
@@leftchaotix people were saying this even before ORAS came out. I understand if they got their info/memory wrong because of cosplay pikachu, but tons of other people (who aren't pokemon fans) still say the original had black.
For the longest time, I thought Rotom was a legendary. It wasn't until 2019 where I found out that's not the case. It's just a very rare Pokemon. But could you blame me for thinking Rotom was legendary? In the original Sinnoh games, it could a obtained in a specific place and the legendary Pokemon battle music would play.
It did have the legendary music theme and is placed right next to the legendaries in the National dex, which is reasonable.
Are there any similar "very rare" pokemon that are static encounters with the Legendary Battle music?
Surprising. I thought it would at least be a mythical.
@@iamnotinvolved1309 Mythical pokemon are types of legendary pokemon that you can only get (legitimately) through events at the time they're first introduced. So Mew, Celebi, Darkrai and even Arceus would be considered mythical pokemon. Rotom wouldn't qualify since you can find it pretty easily in the games as long as you know where to go.
I remember debating this with a group I was in a tournament with shortly after gen 6 came out. That battle music was something that tripped up a lot of people. We eventually decided that since Rotom can breed, it doesn't count as a legendary.
I still find it a stretch to call Pichu a "Pikachu clone" given it's related to the yellow rat and that it's Pikachu's pre-evolution, the rest however (Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, Dedenne, Togedemaru, Morpeko and Pawmi) i do count as Pikachu clones
Imagine calling your child a clone lol
@@cynicalradicand depends on how you reproduced
HOW DARE YOU CALL PIKACHU A RAT!
@@cynicalradicand People call me a clone of my mom all the time because we look so similar. It's not as uncommon as you'd hope.
It might not be a "proper" clone, but the role they created for it to fill is effectively the same as all the "actual" clones.

Here's another thing (about the anime in this case) that I see almost everyone get wrong all the time. It's the reason why Brock was temporarily replaced by Tracy. Most people think it was because the anime's creators were afraid international viewers would see Brock as a racist stereotype because of his design. But according to the blog of the series director at the time, Takeshi Shudo, the truth is... pretty much the opposite. Around the time the franchise was preparing for its American debut, some of the higher-ups became concerned that a show with a character that looks like Brock (a design closer to how Americans tend to draw Asian characters) as a main character wouldn't do well in the U.S. It's a concern that sort of makes sense if you know anything about the state of Asian representation in American media at the time. However, their decision was... apparently to have viewers just absolutely hate a character that appears in every episode for a year and a half? Yeah, valid concerns or not, their solution was pretty ridiculous, and thankfully Americans loved Brock and didn't want to see him go, so he was eventually brought back and stuck around for over a decade. Regardless of your opinion on the situation, the unfortunate truth is that Tracy replaced Brock in an attempt to appeal to white people, not to prevent people getting offended from a racist stereotype (which Brock obviously isn't).
That may not have been what Shudo said but that's what some other people who work on the show said.
I really don't think that Koraidon is just gonna become Miraidon. I feel that Miraidon is the human recreation of Koraidon, which would be why it has wheels and jets, as those are human inventions. I personally think that in Violet, Koraidon went extinct due to human behavior, and the humans needed to make a replacement to take its place so that the ecosystem doesn't collapse, or whatever importance Koraidon, being a legendary pokemon, had to the balance of the world wasn't lost.
Yes because nature will die without a motorcycle that doesn't use its wheels /j
(Also before people @ me, I'm still getting Scarlet)
Interestingly enough, 'mirai' means future in Japanese
If without Koraidon the ecosystem will collapse and all that, how does a ten year old kid catch Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini and the islands don’t collapse, because FYI they protect the island and stop it from collapsing.
I’m sure it’s gonna be more based off of the fact that regardless koraidon went extinct in both games. In scarlet you revive the original Koriadon, and in violet you revive him with extra tech.
Cyclizar is the present day version of Koraidon (past) and Miraidon (future). Plus korai means ancient and mirai means future. That and I am willing to bet money that this game is going to have time-based version exclusive regional forms. This will be how they can bring back the Hisuian forms to the present day. So I would expect other future forms of Pokemon.
Even though the gen 7 box art legendaries aren't coded as ultra beasts, they are still from ultra space. They just probably couldn't program them to be ultra beasts and legendary at the same time.
Thank you. And also, Solgaleo and Lunala were already known to the region, so a codename nor keeping them secretive to the Aether Foundation would've been necessary.
@@MunchVGC Also their cries and prime numbers stats and level up Movepool.
@@MunchVGC In the anime, Necrozma has codename UB Black so your theory may be correct. Though what makes Beast Ball not work on Necrozma is intresting lorewise.
Don’t forget they have the UB sound in their cries like all the UB’s too
I think technically Naganadel is part UB and Legendary
It took me many years to realize that Magnezone’s middle eye was actually an eye.
I think it’s because the white color of its eye is very similar to the silver color of its body, and that’s why the red eye looks like a red nose to me. I still can’t unsee it.
I actually ended up finding out about the eyes on the sides this year on the other side of this coin, and now I can’t unsee what I guess I thought were shoulder pads! It looks so derpy 😭
You're implying magnezone has other eyes
@@Mega11683 You can’t be serious.
Look at its shoulders bro.
@@bee-zeesoul1018 I always noticed the middle eye first so I kind of forgot he has three lol
I'm surprised how many people made this mistake. I thought it was obvious that it was an eye?
I think that Koraidon's wheels should probably be smaller if they aren't functional as wheels. Maybe it get some sort of power-up during the game where they DO become functional? I don't know. Otherwise they're a little distractingly big on the design.
I can agree with that but I can see why they chose to make the “wheels” distracting due to it supposed to look like a motorcycle hence the pun on its name.
@@IgnitedQuils it's a pun? what exactly is referencing besides a motorcycle?
or koraidon's look, inspired humans to built bicycles and motorscycles. Like how duck feets inspired the feet swimming gear.
@@red_reaper1729Their names have “raidon” which sounds like “ride on” as they resemble motorcycles.
@@IgnitedQuils ohh yeah that makes sense even tho I had no idea how to pronounce it :/
I'm glad someone finally brought up the age thing. I thought it was pretty clear by the designs that the protagonists were progressively getting older for a while. The Unova protagonists look like they're around 17 or 18 to me. But for some reason everyone I see just assumes they're all 10
Actually, in the first black and white games, the protagonists are supposed to be 14 years old.
The kalos avatars look like teenagers too.
@@billiezeiszler608 They sure don't look like it!
@@billiezeiszler608 they were designed to be 15-16 but was retconed after release
I blame the anime
Normal Pokéballs don't work on Ultra Beasts because they're heavily infused with the wormhole energy/Necrozma's light.
Necrozma is drained of its energy when you meet it, having been in this world for a long time in SM. Nebby was similarly here for at least a few years and had been experimented on to drain and use up its energy. However both Pokémon originate from Ultra Space which is how Ultra Beasts are classified
I consider mimikyu as a pikaclone taken literally
I can see why as you could take Mimikyu as a take on the good old thing we usually expect in RPG's, that being mimic's
@@bulborb8756 Voltorb also fulfills that purpose, hiding as an item
@@gaspardsavoureux8680 well so does foongus, amoonguss and galarian stunfisk
@@bulborb8756 True
@@bulborb8756...............Except that doesn't really make sense. Just because Mimikyu is mimicking Pikachu doesn't make it a mimic in the way that the rpg enemies are, as they are used as enemies that are disguised as objects, most commonly treasure chests and doors and the like
I feel like with koraidon, since it’s to represent the past, it rather runs to show how transportation was in ancient times. And miraidon being a bike is to show how transportation works in the present/future
I like how the first fact was about how to pronounce zacian’s name and immediately afterwards in the next fact about it Alex mispronounced Zacian’s name lol
Definitely done intentionally 😂🥲
What about the starter video man?
So... Necrozma TECHNICALLY has an ultra beast code name, ub-black. This code name is, however, only said in the anime which might disqualify it from being an ultra beast HOWEVER, it is stated that Necrozma came from another world and brought Solgaleo and Lunala with it. This other word is ultra space, and by definition, an ultra beast is just a Pokémon from ultra space, thus meaning that the light trio ARE ultra beasts.
Although Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are not Ultra Beasts, they have a strong connection to Ultra Space (including the ability to create Ultra Wormholes) and as a result are often claimed to be or likened to the Ultra Beasts in various media
The game tells you it's not an ultra beast
@@AP4pro I may have realized that when I read the dex entry and was to lazy to change that. And I have never actually played through either sun or ultra sun or moon or ultra moon, my knowledge was COMPLETELY from the anime.
No that code name for Necrozma is not only said in the anime. It’s mentioned in Sun and Moon by Looker and Anabel before you can catch Necrozma. However the code name is never mentioned in Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon
@@Slimeonian yea but if you lose closely
In sun and moon
When you catch All ultra Beasts
He says we caught all UBs
But when they find necrozma it doesn't identify as a UBs as they thing they used to track them doesn't identify necrozma as one
@@AP4pro They have that connection because they originally came from there; so many years in this world changed them, and thus Beast Balls do not recognize them as Ultra Beasts.
Alex's tone of voice every video is just perfect.
To be a pseudo legendary your bst doesn't just have to be 600 but you also must be a part of a 3 stage evolution line in the very slow exp gain group
Slaking has 3 stage evolution line and slow exp gain
Going by your logic Stalking it's a pseudo but in reality is not one because the 600BST requirement it's NECESSARY
@@soulofsomething6651 i never said the 600 bst wasnt a requirement, i just said it wasnt the only one
@@EpiclyEpicGamer I'm dumb, I misunderstood your comment completely
600 bst is the only requirement. In Japan they aren't even known as Psuedo Legendaries. They're just part of what they call "club 600".
It's a made up fan thing anyway, the pokemon company has never officially acknowledged it so you can call or define pseudo legendaries however you please.
@@ikorraks this is the first thing it says about pseudo lengendarys on bulbapedia: "Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 600族 600 club) is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage evolution line, 1,250,000 experience at level 100, and a base stat total of exactly 600 (before Mega Evolving)."
2:25 What makes no sense is thinking an organic being has working wheels on the body.
So I got Aegislash and Gastrodon wrong, and didn't know about the Alola & GO Protagonists, Fletchling, or Mew/Mewtwo.
Also, while Mimikyu is the odd one out there, Pichu doesn't really count either, since it's an addition to the existing Pikachu line.
Don't Listen To Him!
@@reidsewing6436 The telegram nonsense? Yeah, I don't pay attention to those.
The funny thing about Rotoms apparant legendary status is that even the games got it wrong. When you play a randomizer with the setting "change legendary to legendary" there is a chance that a legendary will be replaced by Rotom. (not sure if that only happens in the older games or if that is still a thing)
But randomizers aren't canon.
@@BJGvideos randomizers usually use code from the game though, so that means the games mark rotom as a legendary, which is also why it has the legendary batt;e music in gen 4
@@sifu_hotmannn464 Legendary is an in-game thing that's actually coded in the game? This is the first time I have ever heard this. Where is your source?
@@mrboost4186 my dad works for nintendo you can ask him👍👍👍
@@sifu_hotmannn464 lol so its just bullshit then
the best part about a new aura guardian video is always never knowing whether the video is gonna be entirely a joke or actually legit
I mean, I would say that the Cosmog line and Necrozma have their *origins* in Ultra Space, but they are indeed not Ultra Beasts. Or at least not anymore. Their cries do have the same echoey ending as the Ultra Beasts though so there *is* something there.
Yes, they were once Ultra Beasts but since they've lived in this world for a long time, their Ultra Beast DNA has fused with Earth's DNA, creating a being that's halfway between a normal Pokémon and an Ultra Beast. So it's technically not wrong to say that they're Ultra Beasts like how it's not technically wrong to say they're just Legendary Pokémon.
Cosmog line and Necrozma are probably not effected by Beast Balls is most likely is that they appear regularly for Poke Balls to recognize and they don't need codenames since people actually know what they are. Ultra Beasts however aren't common.
Also they're cries has the same ringing as the UBs and they're stats and movepools are heavily focused on Prime Numbers.
They're definitely UBs.
Another way that Koraidon's curled up tail and inflated dewlap makes sense is that it further highlights and accentuates its relationship with Miraidon. What people perceive as an inefficient and ineffective mode of travel was overtime modified and streamlined into something far more convenient, Koraidon is the beginning of that process. It is, quite literally from a biological perspective, stuck in the past.
Oh yeah and it's also an organic creature. Flesh and wheels do not mix.
People fail to see this for that reason and it does confuse me. As it’s obvious it represents the ancient times.
There has been a lot of talk about why animals cannot develop wheels, however there's actually a way for an animal to get wheels.
First you get an animal, this animal has modified hooves that lost all keratin (it must be a small animal, otherwise it would hurt to live, a lot) then, through selective adaptation, this species got an evolutionary niche in which a part of the feet's bone slowly degrades after reaching adulthood, it then falls apart leaving exactly an independent piece of bone separated from the rest of the leg, wheel-shaped, with a bony axle going through it, the axle being part of the leg.
Now forget anything I said about a "niche", this is stupid, but biologically plausible.
(Also the animal would look like a shopping cart)
Yeah, people just ignore what Koraidon’s “wheels“ actually are. The front wheel is an air sac or something similar, while the back wheel is its curled up tail. The wheels don’t move because they aren’t wheels, they just look like wheels
I’m pretty sure the main problem people have with Koraidon’s neck flap and tire tail isn’t that they’re there so much as the fact he has them out while running and flying when there is no need for it
you know what's more stupid to think that Mimikyu is a Pikachu clone?
:to think that Pichu is a pikachu clone
i personally DO NOT consider Pichu to be a Pikachu clone cause it's the yellow rat's pre-evolution and thus is directly related to it
so people be calling their offsprings a clone now? I swear the world is getting dumber each time.
I was thinking that too. Of course Pichu is going to look similar to Pikachu. It's literally the pre-evolution.
@@human5435 well Mew's offspring Mewtwo is a clone
@@AznYunHou 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I really don't think that Pikachu's baby form should count as a Pikachu clone.
i agree with your statement cause I too don't consider Pichu to be one either, in my opinion, Pikachu clones didn't start until gen 3 with plusle & minun, and since then every generation has added in at least 1 electric rodent
I agree. It's literally the pre-evolution, of course it's going to look similar.
Aura Guardian uploads every once in a blue moon, but it’s amazing and you know it when he uploads
Koraidon "Wheel" is a inflatable sack for the water that's why it runs so majestically!
Again it's not a wheel.
Yabba Dabba Doo!
Outside of the Beast Ball thing, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala and Nekrozma all possess the same harmonic chime at the end of their cries as all of the Ultra Beasts do. It's more muffled, emphasizing that they have more-or-less adapted to the conditions of the normal world, and thus lack the physical properties that the Beast Balls are designed to interact with.
I just wanna appreciate the work Alex does finding facts like this to make know about pokemon more. He is the reason we are pokemon masters.
I love that he did the first segment on how to pronounce Zacian correctly and then proceeded to not pronounce it that way multiple times later in the video
4:10 bruh my life was a lie 💀
If Volbeat and his female counterpart had a second typing, they would have the Electric Type since they are both Lightning Bugs.
Or Fire types because they're fireflies. Honestly, it could be pretty interesting if both of them had separate typings. Volbeat being Bug/Fire and Illumise being Bug/Electric. This way both crowds are happy and these bugs become more usable as well.
In at least one of drayano’s rom hacks, they are changed to be bug/electric and bug/fire (one of them might be fairy as the second type but I don’t remember and am too lazy to look it up) so drayano definitely thought they needed some kinda second types in the same train of thought
@@GoinGreninja Reminds me how boring these two are.
Why not to make something cool with the firefly design? I mean it was Gen 3, they already had the cicada husk ghost, that's cool, but the two fireflies? Lame.
@@Dexuz That's the con of having too many Pokémon designs in one generation. It makes lame looking Pokémon more likely. Gen 5 is the biggest culprit of this. I love a lot of Gen 5 designs like Gigalith but Swanna is just a complete sham. Same with Basculin before Basculegion etc.
I disagree with galar not being the uk upside down. Cause it largely is. Not entirely mind; their ain’t no tundra or sandy desert in the uk as is. But it is close enough in a broad sense
I never thought volcarona was a pseudo-legendary... I thought it was a legendary
Necrozma’s code name was UB-black. But I think that’s just an anime thing.
yea cause i think the Aether Foundation in the anime thought that Necrozma was an Ultra Beast and not a legendary, thus erroneously gave him the code name of "UB-Black"
Ultra beasts are technically legendaries apparently
@@maganhassan2627 i think that's usually an argument among fans that no one can agree on
I love how the first entry is about how to pronounce Zacian, then in a later entry he still pronounces it wrong. The irony.
I'm not trying to be rude, you can pronounce it the way you want it's your choice lol .
I think he did that on purpose to be funny lol
Yeah, I had to shake my head and chuckle-cringe at that myself.
The modern Pokémon seems to be Cyclizar with its rolling wheels. In the past it was Kuraidon with its unevolved wheels and in the future it's Miraidon with its high tech hover ability
Cyclizar's "wheels" don't rotate. They run the same way Koraidon do.

Thank you, i really needed to hear that after so so *so* many people always assuming this wrong
In regards to Aegislash, the pronunciation that sounds better probably depends on your expectations. I had already know for years that the “ae” in “aegis” is supposed to be pronounced like an E, so that way sounds more natural to me. If I hadn’t known that, I might have pronounced it as A, and that would have sounded better.
And for what it’s worth, it’s the same deal with Aether. It’s supposed to be an E sound, since the beginning vowel comes from the same source as Aegis.
Not always. For example, in aesthetic, which does have an e sound but slightly different.
(no I definitely did not have to check merriam webster)
In fact, according to Merriam Webster, "aegis" can be pronounced both as a long "a" or "e", though other sources say otherwise
@@byeguyssry Yeah English is a jacked up, drunk-as-hell language that does whatever it wants. What seems like at least half of our words aren’t even English, though that’s probably an exaggeration. Someone could claim they pronounce Aegis as “aye Gus” and I wouldn’t even doubt it.
@@earthbit. Ye, we copy other languages' words and pay respects by not changing it at all.
On the bright side, we now have spelling bees. And the strange words can be aesthetically interesting, speaking from a poet's point of view
You see it in words like archaeology, paediatrician, encyclopaedia, and palaeontology but not in American English because they replace the ae witn an e. Other words like Europaean and Aegyptian used to be spelt this way too.
For me "ee-jil-slash" out of preference.
I always thought Delibird carried an actual sack. Then I found it it’s actually it’s tail. So it makes presents internally and then shoots them out it’s tail lol
Im glad watching great content again on this channel after more than a month.
I tried looking for this Channel for an hour again after not watching videos for some time and now I no longer see TheAuraGuardian in my reccomended. That's sad given how great of a UA-cam channel this is. Keep up the good work bro!
I think some of the type confusion comes from the trading card game, where certain Pokémon can have cards of a type they aren’t (I think, I’m not a huge collectors so I don’t remember as well as I should)
I've been pronouncing zacian's name correctly without even knowing it was said in a trailer lol
Same
i audibly screamed when i saw auraguardian in my recommended its nice to see a new video
I still think that the Cosmog Family and Necrozma are Ultra Beasts. Yes, the Beast Balls don't work on them but the reason it doesn't is a pretty simple one. Because these Pokémon have gotten used to this world, they've slowly lost parts that made them Ultra Beasts but not all of it. The Beast Balls work because it's foreign DNA entering this world. But if they've this world's DNA as well, then it's not gonna work as well. Also, all of them came from Ultra Space at one point anyways. So lore wise and everything else wise, I agree with everything except this one.
i always pronounced 'elio' as 'helios' without the h and s because i assumed that's what the name was based off of, like how selene's name is based of helios' counterpart named... selene... the ancient greek moon goddess
That's what the name is based on!
The fact that it's written or pronounced differently doesn't change the inspiration, just as Aegislash being clearly "aegis".
I think the Cosmog family and Necrozma should be considered Ultra-Beasts.
In some other media they are. And in the anime Necrozma gets the codename UB-Black
I still think Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are Ultra Beasts because (I think) we saw one of the box legendaries come out of a wormhole, you can literally ride them into Ultra Space, Necrozma came out of a wormhole to fuse with Solgaleo/Lunala (I think) , and at the end of their cries they have that little noise the other Ultra Beasts have at the end of their cries. The Beast Ball thing doesn't disprove them as UB's imo because I don't think you can get Beast Balls before the fight against them, meaning that it doesn't matter if the catch rate doesn't increase for them, but that's just me.
yea but the tcg kinda confirms these ones are not ultra beasts
Ultra beasts are only(buzzwole,pheramosa,stakataka,kartana,guzzlord,blacephalon,xurketree,celestila,all of the necrozma forms excluding the base form and the poipole line).
Keep in mind that in the tcg if a pokemon is or not an ultra beast matters since there are a lot of cards that only work with them
@@brothatsucks you’re seriously going by TCG logic over game logic? Even if you did I don’t think they would include them as UB’s because then it would be confusing trying to figure out if they’re UB’s or Legendaries.
@@alexanderwilliams644 There is nothing in the game logic that includes ultra beasts outside of the beast ball which does not work,also the pokemon company does the cards so idk what to tell you.Also you brought the wormhole thing.Do you reallise that the dinamax adventures are caused by them right?So those legendaries that you fight would be ultra beasts cause they also came from them.About the fact that solgaleo and lunala fly in ultra space is the only thing I do not have a counterpoint but everything else points towards the option that are not ultra beasts.
@@brothatsucks yeah the wormhole caused the dynamax adventures, how does that disprove what I said? The legendaries exist in their own spaces that you travel to with Solgaleo/Lunala, so if the two are linked, they were pulled from their spaces into the dynamax caves. You do realize that you failed in disproving my point right?
>Goes on about Mimikyu not being a Pikaclone
>Proceeds to lump Pichu in with them
Not to say you're wrong about Mimikyu, but Christ almighty how many times does this discussion have to be had about Pichu
_If it's literally an evolutionary member to the family of _*_Pikachu itself,_*_ it's not a clone_
If we're gonna be calling Pichu a clone, Raichu has to be called one too
Bidoof is not a pseudo legendary.
It’s a legendary.
Who do you think taught Dialga roar of time.
Mimikyu is not a pika clone! I keep saying this

Miminkyu isn’t technically a pikachu clone, but by definition it is one(or I guess it’s trying to be)
7:33 galar IS the uk flipped upside down since scottland (crown thundra) is at the bottom and ireland (armor island) is at east, but more than being upside down is more like the map its upside down and galar is still like the uk in shape and orienation (ireland at west and scottland at north)
Armor Island is based on Isle of Man, but still accurately located
Some of the locations of galar don't accurately reflect uk geography
I'd say according to lore, the Cosmog line and Necrozma are UBs
Necrozma literally has a whole ass utopia centered around it in the Ultra Space and (ik im kinda stretching things here but) the entire Cosmog line, as well as Necrozma, have the special cry sound effect, that all the other UBs have
Maybe, lore-wise they used to be Ultra Beasts but have had enough contact with the 'regular' world to adapt.
@@EightViolett Exactly. They were once Ultra Beasts that came from Ultra Space but now, living in this world for centuries, they've changed a lot and have become normal Pokémon with Ultra Beast like powers.
Kiriadon is a lizard trying to be a motorbike but miriadon is a motorbike trying to be a lizard...
The thing with the alola legends is that they definetly aren't native to our dimension but they stayed there long enough for them to lose that ultra characteristic and as for necrozma they get a pass because they scare me and I lost i nuzlocke to them when i forgot to get a focus sash and was too lazy to go fetch one
Thank you for bringing up the age misconception. You have no idea how annoyed I was when most people assumed all protagonists ages were 10, when that’s more of an anime thing than the games. Heck, Red was 11 when he started his journey
Also, on top of that:
No, it is not a regular thing in games that people are getting "regional starter" on specific birthday and are all going around fighting gyms.
Getting starters in games is generally not framed that way, each situtation is different like Oak gives Red a Pokemon in order to give him protection and use him as a help to complete Pokedex. Other time MC get's Pokemon in other situtaion, sometimes as temporary emergency (that becames pernament quickly after), sometimes as a gift etc.
Aslo, starters are never in-game framed as being bred to be specifically gifted to begginer trainers as the first Pokemon. Yeah, they're designed that way out-on-universe, but in-universe "starters" are not established concept. They are always framed that Pokemon that just happen professor (or someone else giving them) just happen to give to you, specifically.
Especially since we are meeting various trainers with varied age and wide range of Pokemon. We are even seeing characters like Wally that is CATCHING his first Pokemon in the wild (that is completly different than any of the "starters")
Also, there is nothing about people going on a gym journey at the specific age, it's just something protagonists happen to do on their own, not an established custom.
Those things are pretty much coming from the anime, as they are established as regular occurence in the first anime episode.
just based on lore the Cosmog evolution line ARE Ultra Beasts. they are originally not from this world and came to us through Ultra Wormholes, which they can also open and travel through. I think it rather was a gameplay mechanic decision to not make them catchable with Beast Balls. first and foremost, it never was set that a Legendary HAS to be caught be with a certain type of ball before and it never has been since. sure, the Master Ball is supposed to be used for this kind of situation, but even that is optional. the other reason, and that also seems obvious, is that there is only a certain number of Beast Balls you can get in the game. if you're off to catch a Legendary, you know it can take you up to 100 Balls or even more to get that son of gun. if my calculations are correct, then you're able to get 50 Beast Balls over the entirety of Sun/Moon - and all of them AFTER the main story, when the Legendaries have already been caught. so in order to make Solgaleo/Lunala catchable with Beast Balls, they would've had to think of an entirely different system of when and how to get these, so it was probably easier to say: "they're the box Legendaries; let's just treat them as the box Legendaries and catch them with whatever ball you've got in your bag."
The old Auraguardian is back
Love these vids
The Mimikyu that belongs to Jessie HATES Pikachu and actively attacks any Pikachu it sees. Of course Acerola’s Mimikyu gets along with Pikachu, so this is only the case with Jessie’s Mimikyu specifically.
couple of things i believed about pokemon when i was younger
Trevenant was Grass/Dark type
Chimecho was Steel type
Skarmory was a gen 3 pokemon
Keep it up Alex!
Omg,my fav poke-tuber posted! Yay:))
1:21 i don't count pichu as a pikachu clone either, it's literally pikachu just as a baby.
I think the beast ball not working is game mechanic...
They are Pokemon from other dimensions... as such, they are Ultra Beasts by canon... maybe not by mechanic...
Can we talk about how he starts by talking about how to correctly pronounce Zacian and then repeatedly mispronounces Zacian at 6:00?
*sigh of stress* everyone screws up all the time!
When discussing whether Mimikyu is a pikaclone, my usual take is that it is standing the trope on its head, as it were, removing all the actual similarities and focusing exclusively on the physical appearance from a distance. This is helped by the fact that gen 7 had quite a lot of trope reversals as Nintendo began reacting to the online presence of their fanbase in a more recognizable manner.
That being said, Mimikyu is not a pikaclone in the strict sense, no, but rather plays on our perspectives of what a pikaclone is.
As for the Cosmog line and necrozma being ultra beasts, they are, just ONLY when they fuse. It says so on TCG cards.
I think the whole past and future thing is going to be some sort of phenomenon happening in the region, and koraidon and miraidon are the past and future version of cyclizar. This is probably why the legendary has an attachment to you, because its the cyclizar from your household.
1:30 why does Pichu count as a pika clone when Pichu is basiclly pikachu but devolved
Thank you. I needed the Mimikyu slander today omfg
Damn a serious Alex video
If mimikyu isn't a Pikachu clone, then Pichu isn't either since Pichu evolves into Pikachu. Even if you disagree with me, I still sorta consider mimikyu a piklone to an extent. Also, necrozma has a ub code name:UB-BLACK
I cannot imagine the mayhem that Teleport Mew could cause in OU
Why is Teleport so good? Isnt it basically the same as just switching out?
@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 teleport has negative priority, so the Pokémon that uses it can take a hit and then switch out, allowing you to bring in a frail offensive Pokémon safely.
It's especially nasty on Slowbro because of Regenerator, but Mew could also make good use of it with its amazing bulk.
@@skotiaH2O oh, i didnt know that, Thanks for the info
When did Teleport gain an in-battle use?
@@velvetbutterfly relatively recently, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee
It's a really nice move, one of my favorites competitively, and i'm glad it made Slowbro good since i love it as a Pokémon
you can also argue that the cosmog line and necrozma are ultra beast based on the sound at the end of their cry.
each of the ultra beast has a cry with what I can describe as "space sound" at the end of them. both the cosmog line and necrozma share this trait.
5:10 Another one to add is Gengar. I constantly forget that it's part Poison-type.
Why? The rest of the line is too
@@velvetbutterfly Again, I forget they're part Poison-type and sometimes think they’re pure Ghost.
6:14 I mean, Regigigas was able to move an entire continent by dex description
Can't get much stronger than that can you?
Shukle:Am I a joke to you?
@@iknowthisisforLKR What's in Shukle's dex entry?
@@memekip7499(late) i think they are talking about how shuckle can do more than 500 million damage in a single turn with the right setup
Mewtwo actually can learn teleport but specially in the Let’s Go games. I know this because I did a haha funny moveset for mine in that game but giving him his smash bros moveset (Shadow Ball, Disable, Confusion, Teleport). But as of naturally, yeah no he can’t.
The cosmog line and necrozma are in fact ultra beasts, the dex says they come from another world, the game says it as well. Just because they don't get beast ball boosts doesn't mean they're not ultra beasts.
The Burmy one blew my mind, I knew the types of all the others you mentioned but I guess I never bothered to check Trash Burmy's type huh.
3:44 cosplay pikachu has this.
we know that dumbass,but people thought about this long before cosplay pikachu even existed
They got mandelad
I can understand mispronouncing Zacian, to a degree. I can understand both Z-ar-cian and Za-cian, I just imagine them as the UK and the American pronunciation (since the “ar” sound is often replaced with “ah”, such as with “can’t”).
Zay-cian is technically wrong, if you follow official sources, but there aren’t any problems as long as people understand what you’re referring to.
OMG i needed someone to belive me about koridons wheel shaped things ty
Mimkyu is a dead pikachu wanting to look like itself when it was alive
It's not a dead Pikachu
3:59 interestingly enough, in PLA only two of three of Alpha's Gastrodon eyes shine red, it seems that maybe it's a mistake they made or maybe thing in the middle isn't an eye??
It's not
The Bulbapedia isn't a 100% reliable source for things like that, and those third eyes are a completely different shape and color to the other two
I don't really know how anyone _could_ see those as eyes
@@ARandomMinecraftVillager oh, so bulbapedia is CNN now-
Thank you for defending Koraidon! I personally think it's more satisfying to watch Koraidon running on all 4s, than Miraidon riding on it's wheels.
It annoys me when people find it dumb and a wasted opportunity. It’s not supposed to be like Miraidon, as it represents the past and what it’s based on do have dewlaps like that.
Yeah, and when he is Standing up on 2 Legs like in the Boxart he looks amazing
my nickname is “mir”, and i always name my character my nickname. my shock and joy when i realized it could also be used as a nickname for the box legend was immeasurable.
What is this? A new video?! A blessing from the Lord!!!!
Here's my random takes on all this:
-Pichu isn't a Pikaclone since it is directly related to Pikachu, which no other Pikaclone is.
-Koraidon's throat sac and curled up tail are meant to resemble tires, not act as tires.
-Personally I think the black tail tip for Pikachu would make for a better gender difference than the shape of the tail itself, just make the pattern look jagged for males and heart-like for females, kinda like what they did with Eevee.
-Honestly if Luxray had a second type it should be either Ground or Fairy, not Dark.
-"You may be from Ultra Space, but that doesn't make you an Ultra Beast."
-Also the last fact is wrong. Mewtwo can learn Teleport by level-up in the _Let's Go_ games. Not to mention the TM for it is learnable by both in those games as well.
With the Koraidon thing, I agree. People think it has to be a carbon copy of Miraidon but it’s not supposed to be. It’s meant to be the past version as it doesn’t rely on technology.
For Luxray, I agree as while it looks like a Dark type, it doesn’t mean it can be as it doesn’t display nocturnal and evil aspects. As Dark type means the Evil type. Even Umbreon who isn’t evil represents night and can spray poisonous sweat, as Luxray has x-ray vision.
Did everyone forget about cosplay Pikachu?
@@PaBlo-jk4hv That's what I was basing it on, just have it so the black heart is on a regular Pikachu tail not a forked one.
Luxray part ground or fairy ?!
What... makes you think that ? Part ground I feel you could maybe make it work but fairy ?
@@IgnitedQuils I think one of the reason to why luxray with a part dark type, don't you usually have bite or crunch on them in your adventure ? Because I do, even post game actually.
Also shouldn't Absol be psychic instead of dark type then ? It isn't really evil or mischievous, people associates him with catastrophes because if you see one, something bad is gonna happen.
Please, no, I want to go back to seeing Gastrodon only having 2 eyes
Ikr i thought it was just a Black Spot or Something
If Koraidon can't use it's wheel for propulsion because it's supposed to be an ancient form of Miraidon then there's nothing that Koraidon should be able to do that Miraidon can. Koraidon and Miraidon differ not in what they can do but in how they can do it, iow in how their propulsion is POWERED. This is where their past/future theming applies. Koraidon uses physical exertion to generate power whereas Miraidon uses jet thrusters to do the same. Therefore, Koraidon could run to generate momentum AND have it's wheel spin to ride it out while simultaneously catching it's breath, much like how skateboarders or scooter riders propel themselves. This would be much more fitting as it would be intuitively reminiscent of the relationship between bicycles and motorbikes aswell as consistent with their past/future theme. As it stands though, Koraidon and Miraidon are alike in every way but one, which creates a very clear and noticeable assymetry between them.
Maybe is Mimikyu his real appereance is the ghost of a Pikachu that died. He wants to look like Pikachu again.
