I just read up on this because of this comment and discovered 3 other mammals that have venom resistance, two of which are known to eat snakes like honey badgers: mongooses (a given), hedgehogs (yes, Sonic can eat venmous snakes. This had me broke down in a fit of hysterical laughter out of shock as my brain exploded), and, finally, pigs.
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 There’s a type of mouse that’s also resistant to venom, and can use it to HEAL THEMSELVES. They’re called the werewolf mouse! It’s not snake venom, but it’s scorpion venom.
Fun fact about the move Strength: In Japanese, it is called kairiki (かいりき). Machamp, in Japanese, is called Kairiky (カイリキー). Because of this, Machamp is used in Sun and Moon's Poke Ride that functions near identically to Strength, and also had Strength be a signature move in Gen 7.
Growl's Japanese name, Cry, does *not* refer to actually crying tears, but crying out. Which is quite similar to growling, and also explains why the move uses the Pokémon's own voice.
@@dragoknight589 crying out isn’t supposed to make your opponent less wary, it’s supposed to intimidate them. Like if a stray cat yowls or hisses at you or a stray dog barks, snarls, howls, or hell, even _growls_ at you furiously, the general reaction a person would have is “woah, hostile” even if for just a brief moment. I mean heck, if a person, regardless of if they’re slightly shorter than you or decently taller than you, suddenly shouts out towards you in a hostile fashion with a sentence or just a single nondescript syllable, whether your reaction is to flinch or think “wha-“ for just a fraction of a second, people falter. That hesitation is portrayed in game as a physical attack drop.
Honestly, I always thought “Attract” should be a Dark type move. You purposely make the other pokemon fall in love with you, keep them stuck in this situation and use that as a way to beat them up easier. How can you be more dark than that? Lol
It could also be psychic type given that this affects your thinking and with psychic powers, you can easily manipulate your target into loving you via hypnosis or just sending ways of romantic feelings on their minds and make them fall in love. Luckily in the real world, not everyone is stupid enough to allow something like this to defeat them, or humanity is doomed.
Something I learned as a new cat owner: cuts don't "sharpen" their claws on couches and the like, they use them to pull out older claws to grow fresh new ones (typically sharper). This is why they use softer material instead of harder things like you'd expect to sharpen something.
Facade's japanese name is bravado, which is "making a bold, showy statement". i think the idea is that the pokemon tries to pretend it's not hurt and has complete control of the battle, and if they have a status condition they have a better reason to put on this facade of confidence so they try harder and do more damage.
"Entertainment" and "Entrainment" are two different words, Lockstin Entrainment is more like they're causing the pokemon to join in an odd dance, more like a conga line of magic, it's similar to how Roleplay copies abilities, just via the magic of hip-shakes instead of wigs
I like the creativity behind the verbal transitions between moves. It's corny at times, but also makes the video flow better, and it's more entertaining than just a list of bullet points.
“Chip off” could also refer to a term often heard in games “chipping damage”, where you do weak damage over and over again to an opponent, so I think it translates well from the Japanese name “little by little”.
24:29 Duuude I'm with you as well. Apart from making me feel cute, the customization on later games for the female trainer offers more than those of the male ones.
That's true of most games. Take Soul Caliber for example when they introduced fully customizable costumes, there were almost twice options of female gendered items as there were for males. The expansion packs only increased the disparity. Not that I'm surprised, while some would say it's because the game industry is male dominated and design artists would rather dream up fantasy costumes for female characters, I don't think that's it (or at least, not the main reason). There is much more variety for clothing for women than men that "socially acceptable". Just for legs men typically get shorts, trousers (pants) and socks. Then women get those and skirts, dresses, tights, leggings and depending on the age of the audience of the game, stockings and garters. Plus there are more colour options available for women as certain ones are considered "too girly for men" were as no colour is off limits for woman. A bet it's a lot more fun to come up with designs for female characters with the greater range of choices you have than it is for male ones even when everything has to be age appropriate for Pokémon's intended audience of roughly 7 to 14.
@@Innautico First time I watched this video, I thought "Wow. That's a weirdly specific experience that I relate to because of gender. Is Lockstin trying to tell us something?" Didn't even question why he'd do that in the middle of an unrelated video. I would absolutely fall for this trick in the middle of a Pokemon battle.

@@exzyyd392 It's not even supposed to be, its Japanese name is Hop. Splash was an okay name when only Magikarp could learn it, but now other less watery Pokémon can hop around uselessly. In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the Pokémon using this move moves to another nearby tile, but I don't know anything more specific than that or if it's any more useful there than in the main games. But the animation for it there is just, well, a hop.
I always thought of facade completely differently, I thought of it less as faking an injury (which make it seem more dark than normal) and more as feigning a lack of one, fighting harder to convince it’s trainer that it’s ok.
18:39 no they do mean the same thing. While cry does mean to shed tears, the definition it is referring to is “to shout out or scream”, which cry also means. From what I’ve looked at the internet that seems to be what it means by “cry”. Either that or both I and the people at Pokémon got the type of “cry” mixed up and so it was called growl.
Kinda surprised Mega punch and Self-destruct weren’t covered in this one during the punch/explosion segments respectively, but there was so much covered in this video, I won’t fault you for it. Great video, and thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!

Growl's name in Japanese is Nakigoe, which has two meanings. It's a compound word of cry+voice, so a better translation might be something like whimper. With animals though, it means tweet, chirp, bark, etc. Basically just "animal sound" generically.
10:39 "I guess they just named it something cool to be stupid." Not necessarily; the original Gen 1 and 2 games struggled with having to change or shorten names of moves and even Pokemon sometimes thanks to limited character space. Swift being "Speed Star" and Comet Punch being "Consecutive Punches" wouldn't fit the strict number of letters that could fit. It's why Feraligatr's name isn't Feraligator. And I guess the English localizers didn't feel it was worth changing in Gen 6-onward when the character space was lengthened since moves like "Swift" were so commonly known by those names by then.
Normal is an action so common to the public that they don’t take special attention of it. Breathing is normal. Sometimes you can even forget you do it, cause it’s so natural.

16:30 hey Lockstin, cat don't actually sharpen their claws, if they did they'd do it on a hard surface instead of curtains and the like. What they actually do is pull out/break of their existing 'blunt' claws, then grow new sharper claws.
@@samchindedza2012 Super late reply, but in the stadium games it shows each hit of Double Slap as a front slap, and then a back hand. I'm assuming that's what round trip means, the hand ends up where it started by the end. Repeat 2-5 times and each slap is a 'double slap'.
With double team, you wouldn't have to be moving faster than light, you'd just need to be moving faster than your opponents eyes can keep track of. There are a lot of optical illusions you can do with spinning fans where things on the blade appear to stay still or be in multiple places at once depending on how fast the fan is spinning.
Also, Return is only stronger if your friendship stat is over 128. If your friendship was 0 it would be just as strong as return at 255 (the max), but actually *getting* to 0 and staying there is really hard.
The alveoli in our lungs function similarly to the villi in our small intestines but unlike villi, they are bilateral in their functionality-they transfer oxygen from our inhalations and transfer carbon dioxide into our exhalations.
@@cocobutterlalo1496 The smooth-brain version is as follows: your lungs have little sacks that absorb the oxygen from the air you breathe in similar to how the tentacles in your guts (the part before the colons) absorbs nutrients from the food you eat. Unlike your gut tentacles, the sacks in your lungs also removes the carbon dioxide from your blood and that's the stuff you breathe out.
I love that the section with Constrict, Bind and other such moves is labelled as “Pokémon bondage” And the stat move section is “Emotional manipulation”
I looked at the time when Growl was playing and the section was called "Emotional Manipulation". I checked the others, and they're just as good. Massive Credit to whoever did this!
While watching this I had a sudden thought that if Regigigas could use the move "Entrainment" it would make it a lot more viable in completive. Image being able to give your opponent's pokemon 'slow start' and then just stacking on stats move intel your 5 turns were over and then just sweeping with an attack move. An amazing wall.
I think in addition to being a general move for anything sharp, guillotine is normal because ghosts are immune. Ghosts are ghosts. They can’t die as they’re already dead. Cutting a ghost’s head off (good luck!) would only cause mild inconvenience.
Tri attack makes me think a move that is one of a few types: psychic, fire, ice, electric, poison, ghost and comes with the chance to cause sleep, freeze, paralyze, burn, poisoned, or confusion would be awesome. Could make it random to make it not super broken
I figured the Tail Whip move is equivalent to how cats use their tails when fighting. They'll whip their tails around while staring an opponent down, trying to distract them with their tail and "lower their defenses" so the cat can get a good swat in with their claws.
Just the part about Glare already confirms that it was supposed to be released sooner so yeah, wouldn't be surprised if it was scheduled to release before the avatar change but was delayed for some reason
"Ha! Now you're distracted thinking about my deepest, darkest secrets! That's the move Confide!" When you want to get something off your chest but you're supposed to be talking about Pokemon moves
Hey Lockstin, just a comment. The move “EnTRAINment” is a move wherein the Pokémon is more than likely training the Pokémon so that it can have a similar ability to the Pokémon that used it, which anyone can do, so it make sense for it to be Normal
16:30 Fun fact! Cats don't sharpen their claws when they scratch surfaces like scratching posts or furniture, they're actually trying to shed parts of their nails off! If you check around where your cats claw things, you'll find bits if claws laying around
10:27 I wonder if the idea behind the name Comet Punch was the idea of "Seeing Stars", like a punch that leaves you dazed (this move did come before Dizzy Punch? I think?)
I always thought of the normal type is not being elemental in nature (since you could really classify everything else as a kind of element, even Dragon and Fairy would be different elemental magics) and is not a specialized combat type, which separates the fighting type off of it.
16:30 actually fun fact! Cats don’t sharpen their claws by wearing away the material like how we sharpen knives, instead they regularly grow brand new claws underneath, and the scratching is to remove the old claw which is now just a blunt shell. This is why they do that grabbing motion on typically soft fabrics, they are trying to get the old claw stuck in the scratching post (or couch).
Lockstin, the move isn't called Entertainment. It's "Entrainment" which means to draw in something

There are a lot of optical illusions you can do with spinning fans where things on the blade appear to stay still or be in multiple places at once depending on how fast the fan is spinning.
Also, Return is only stronger if your friendship stat is over 128. If your friendship was 0 it would be just as strong as return at 255 (the max), but actually *getting* to 0 and staying there is really hard.
I can only imagine how tiring this was for you to make. I salute your endurance and persistence.
That Clefairy follow up into Encore was genius
"Do we digest air?" kinda, that's basically what our respiratory system does.
f a c t s
*This is good air*
The alveoli in our lungs function similarly to the villi in our small intestines but unlike villi, they are bilateral in their functionality-they transfer oxygen from our inhalations and transfer carbon dioxide into our exhalations.
@@JamesDavy2009 explain this, but in English please! /hj
@@cocobutterlalo1496 The smooth-brain version is as follows: your lungs have little sacks that absorb the oxygen from the air you breathe in similar to how the tentacles in your guts (the part before the colons) absorbs nutrients from the food you eat. Unlike your gut tentacles, the sacks in your lungs also removes the carbon dioxide from your blood and that's the stuff you breathe out.
I love that the section with Constrict, Bind and other such moves is labelled as “Pokémon bondage”
And the stat move section is “Emotional manipulation”
i wonder if loppunny can learn any...
@@fourthmatchflame BONK! Go to horny jail!
15:43 Kabuto literally looks like a croissant...
" have you ever been stepped on by a horse " yes yes I have . And yes it does hurt
I looked at the time when Growl was playing and the section was called "Emotional Manipulation". I checked the others, and they're just as good. Massive Credit to whoever did this!
"Pokemon Bondage"
"Slammy Poundings"
finally it's back i missed this series.
hopefully when this series ends we can do each ability explained.
Now i gotta name a Clefairy Darkness
THE BIT FOR CONFIDE WAS REALLY WELL EXECUTED. genuinely didnt see it coming, i was so confused about why the hell this was mentioned. Good on you!
I always considered normal the stand in for "animal" type
Aw yes animal Hyper Beam me all the time
Regigigas, arceus and castform:What animals are these?
Ditto.
Not "same". The actual Pokémon Ditto.
I always considered it a form of "physicality" and "willpower". So using physical features you possess and raw willpower if you don't
@@amirulamani1487 Giants, weather, and God, obviously lol
17:28 "the stakes have been raised- get them off the ceiling!" 😂
The clefairy makes me feel weird but by the end I liked it
While watching this I had a sudden thought that if Regigigas could use the move "Entrainment" it would make it a lot more viable in completive. Image being able to give your opponent's pokemon 'slow start' and then just stacking on stats move intel your 5 turns were over and then just sweeping with an attack move. An amazing wall.
I think in addition to being a general move for anything sharp, guillotine is normal because ghosts are immune. Ghosts are ghosts. They can’t die as they’re already dead. Cutting a ghost’s head off (good luck!) would only cause mild inconvenience.
Tri attack makes me think a move that is one of a few types: psychic, fire, ice, electric, poison, ghost and comes with the chance to cause sleep, freeze, paralyze, burn, poisoned, or confusion would be awesome.
Could make it random to make it not super broken
5:05 so glad this is becoming a recurring bit
Wait, where's it from?
@@Daichifan1 the Alolan Raichu video
I figured the Tail Whip move is equivalent to how cats use their tails when fighting. They'll whip their tails around while staring an opponent down, trying to distract them with their tail and "lower their defenses" so the cat can get a good swat in with their claws.
Anyone Notice That He Switched Back To His Last Character Design?
Might just be an old video
I prefer it
yeah I was looking for someone to mention it
Just the part about Glare already confirms that it was supposed to be released sooner so yeah, wouldn't be surprised if it was scheduled to release before the avatar change but was delayed for some reason
I was not emotionally prepared for the kinky Clefairy segment of the video LMFAO

"Ha! Now you're distracted thinking about my deepest, darkest secrets! That's the move Confide!"
When you want to get something off your chest but you're supposed to be talking about Pokemon moves
“pancakes are rounder than kansas”
33:10 Because Hyper Beam was physical until gen 4 made it a special move, so Giga Impact is just the physical version incase they got HB before.
Video: this is not the same clip
Me being a video editor: can’t believe that
Hey Lockstin, just a comment. The move “EnTRAINment” is a move wherein the Pokémon is more than likely training the Pokémon so that it can have a similar ability to the Pokémon that used it, which anyone can do, so it make sense for it to be Normal
Damb I just opened youtube to see this video. Here's to hoping it'll be interesting and good like all his other vids
@@trananbinhjerry6438 Hiw is that related to the comment?

I was not ready for a masochistic clefairy when I woke up today 😅
This is so epic it's so not basic🤩
16:30 Fun fact! Cats don't sharpen their claws when they scratch surfaces like scratching posts or furniture, they're actually trying to shed parts of their nails off!
If you check around where your cats claw things, you'll find bits if claws laying around
21:38 *Insert Darkness from Konosuba here*
Lol

Lockstin: "The target faints instantly if the attack hits"
Pheromosa: **Proceeds to split apart**
10:27 I wonder if the idea behind the name Comet Punch was the idea of "Seeing Stars", like a punch that leaves you dazed (this move did come before Dizzy Punch? I think?)
Smart
"Pancakes, are in fact, more round than Kansas."

I always thought of the normal type is not being elemental in nature (since you could really classify everything else as a kind of element, even Dragon and Fairy would be different elemental magics) and is not a specialized combat type, which separates the fighting type off of it.
9:48 "Everything with an arm can punch" me thinking about Wooper Ice punch xd
Calluses are made of food you say? Well then, you all know what that means!
Don't eat calluses
16:30 actually fun fact! Cats don’t sharpen their claws by wearing away the material like how we sharpen knives, instead they regularly grow brand new claws underneath, and the scratching is to remove the old claw which is now just a blunt shell.
This is why they do that grabbing motion on typically soft fabrics, they are trying to get the old claw stuck in the scratching post (or couch).
