25 Pokémon Scarlet and Violet SECRETS You Need to Know! 

About the Gimmighoul theory, I believe that the Gimmighoul are actually the incarnations of the merchant that brought the ruinous treasures to the emperor. It is stated that upon receiving such treasures, the emperor bathed the merchant in gold. This could be literal. In the past, a very peculiar method of execution in Spain (and I believe other european countries) consisted in pouring liquid gold into the throat of the victim (a bit hardcore). So I believe that the king literally bathed the merchant in gold, turning him into a golden ghost, Gholdengo. This was the thing that made the ruinous treasures finally awaken, as it is stated that they were born from the accumulation of negative emotions over the years. They destroyed the castle and caused huge damage all over Paldea. They probably also split Gholdengo in many parts, thus creating Gimmighoul. And guess where you can find wandering Gimmighoul most prominently? Exactly, at the region's ruins, remembering the place where he lost his life. But that's just a theory (a game theory)

There's a great easter egg where if you find a serviper and a zangoose spawning close together they fight in reference to their gimmick.

The distant land from where Quaxly came is a clear reference to Brazil. Why? Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is based on the Iberian Peninsula. Which is not only Spain but also...Portugal. Portugal has a strong connection to Brazil and it's pretty common to have brazilian people migrating to Portugal. Quaquaval is obviously inspired by the Carnaval (it's literally a part of its name). It's a dancer that looks exactly like the dancers from Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval.

From a longtime Aussie fan, thought I'd just let you know that we don't use the name Ayers Rock anymore. It's exclusively Uluru. Here's to hoping for that Aussie region, would be my dream come true.

Hassel's cryptic message in one of the gyms "All paths lead to the Great Crater of Paldea" makes more sense on repeat playthroughs. Since that means all story paths.

So, I just found a cool additional secret that I thought would be cool to share. The green festival poster from the Teal Mask reveal trailer have been hanging on a window and signboard on the outside of the Treasure Eatery in Medali. I even went back and checked a near release date playthrough to confirm it wasn't a new stealth addition. Another case of Game Freak slipping in something for us to notice after the fact.

I like Mabosstiff because of Arven's story, but it would have been more fitting for his ace to be Daschbun wouldn't it? Would complete his food themed team more

Something worth noting is in early seasons of the Pokémon anime, you do see several characters, including Ash himself, holding the poke ball upside down.

The reasoning behind Gimmighoul holding a coin that looks like Bronzor is because Bronzor is an ancient coin Pokemon. The coin Gimmighoul holds doesn't look as ancient, but is still probably very old.

Also idk if this is good here but the DLC kinda reminds me of ScVi’s theme, past and future. The ancient legend of the Wukong Warrior and the futuristic theme of an under water technological civilization/school.

More Lokix trivia! Its base form got its color scheme from Kamen Rider Black, which coincidentally had a reboot movie released 1 month prior to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Its shiny form is based on Kamen Rider Zero One, which was released in 2019 around the time that Sword and Shield were released and development of Scarlet and Violet started. Lokix's Pokédex entry has a picture of it performing a flying kick, which is the signature move of most Kamen Riders. Its mechanical looking legs are a nod to the fact that the Showa era Kamen Riders were cyborgs, and its Dark typing is likely due to the Riders actually deriving their power from the same source as the evil organizations they oppose. The first two were even kidnapped and cybernetically modified directly by SHOCKER, a group of ecoterrorists trying to take over the world. Its moveset is partially based on several classic Rider attacks, but ironically cannot learn Jump Kick or High Jump Kick.

i love how scarlet and violet has so many cool secrets

Paldea has three new dog Pokémon but it also has several older dogs as well. So many good boys

The house in Zapapico reminds me of the house in Kanto that has the back to the field where you have to chase a Rocket member and the house in the Hoenn region that has a tunnel built into it as well!

Cool video! Some of the secrets you shared really opened my eyes like how Sada/Turo actually did the gym challenge too. Speaking of them I can’t help but share this even if it’s not so much a secret? One of the journals in the research stations says : Our time machine research has yielded a triumph-a Pokémon from the ancient past/distant future! I've named it Koraidon/Miraidon. I was expecting one new life to treasure, but what fortune to be blessed with this gift as well! “One new life to treasure” is definitely Arven which is sweet that they think Arven is their treasure too.

I went into the Arven fight with so much confidence. I left it crushed and defeated. I was many levels above, but his Mabosstiff countered at least half my team. I still struggle with his team when I do the challenge too.

Omg Arven you sweet summer child. Him holding the pokeball upside-down just makes me adore him even more.

While this can be viewed as more of a coincidence then an actual secret, but I have theorized that the Gym system in the Paldea Region was possibly based on the popular competition TV show franchise,The Amazing Race which happened to air the first half of it’s USA version’s 34th season’s second Mega leg in Spain where Paldea is based on just two days before the games released (and possibly as a call back to Sword and Sheild’s Pokémon league being a reality competition show).

"Ayers Rock" (pronounced Airs Rock), is now known as Uluru, for future reference. This is it's indigenous name! A region based on Australia would just be all the snake and spider pokemon, haha. Don't forget the drop bears!

As a cool secret I can confirm that these are very cool

Damn, I have ZERO idea how you noticed the swimming pool patterns lol that's nuts

I think the unused room might be related to the dlc in some way possibly

I was thinking the other day that maybe you battling Turo or Sada was meant to be a reference to the cut Professor Oak battle from Red and Blue. Probably not but it would be cool if it was. Also Penny being from Galar makes a lot of sense because "Penny" doesn't sound Spanish, and it could also be a reference to the song "Penny Lane" by The Beatles. (Also realizing I maybe should've beat the games first before watching this video because I didn't know she was Team Star's leader...oops).

It was so jarring when I saw that when you entered a store it just pulled up a list of items to buy instead if actually going in and walking around in it since I was so used to it

That amoongus one is fun considering the shiny you showed us was purple. Perhaps the rarity of a shiny one inspired the masterball's colour? yeah tenuous i know

I think it's funny how we need to give Tandemaus a little privacy to do their thing. 😉 The kids don't know what's going on, but we older players do.

Pokémon Legends: Quaxly

An Australian region game would have to be PLA style. It’s the only way to really feel of the fear of actually living in Australia

The area zero theme has a reference to Rick and morty since it’s a western show and toby fox made the music And it deals with a lot of sci-fi stuff it makes a lot of sense that they would sample the theme for a mysterious place like area zero I’m the only one that’s found this though

Some people theorize that Quacxly comes from Unova region. Once being ducklet

Arven's name is pretty fitting in the game. First, the name mean is "Friend of the People" in english(he becomes a freind). But mainly the Japanese name in the game is "Peppermint" and Arven itself comes from "Mentha arvensis"(according to Bulbapeadia). Mentha meaning mint. Mints are used in cooking, but there's more. The leaves have been made into tea to treat colds or aid digestion. The big thing that got me was that "the ancient Greeks rubbed mint on their arms, believing it would make them stronger." So lets say Herba Mystica is just a super powerful verison of 'Mentha arvensis' and with Arven's cooking ability he can mix it with food. He would be giving his Maschiff "super food" to heal him. Note: In real life, too much mint can cause heartburn and other problems. Do not eat a lot of mint lol. Also the other 2 main characters are named after plants. Penny is named after the 'tree peony' which comes in many colors, including red/blue. Nemona is named after the 'Nemophila', which I don't see a connection to anything. It's also know as "Baby-Blue Eyes". Nemona has "Orange eyes and black hair(with a girl piece)"

I need to watch more facts and theories videos like this.

loving the 3 dog reference. Thats brilliant

Just a small note about the Squawkabilly section - rockabilly wasn't the first form of rock and roll as much as a fusion genre between rock n roll and country/western or "hillbilly" music. Granted, the line is usually blurred because its often all referred to as "classic rock'n'roll" or "oldies."

Arven holding his pokeballs upside down is so funny!

You Should've covered that the region is shaped like terapagos

I've been playing this game for so long, and some of these facts were still new to me... so much fun to keep discovering things! Thanks for making this video 🙂

6:45 Leon doesn't spin, he just does the pose, and if those games are after SwSh from a timeline perspective then it could be that Victor(or Gloria) are champion and do the spin and then the ex-champ did.

Hopefully Quaxly comes from a Brazil inspired region

3:43 surprised lockstin missed that one It’s cool that you got to add something unique to your video others missed

They say arven isn't good at battling whereas he was more challenging to me than that stalker nemona lol

Here's a thought. Sense professor sada or Turo have been sending pokeballs to the past via time machine. Could the brute bonnet evolve to have the pattern of the pokeball. Then over time foongus and amoongus always had the pattern of pokeball. Causing a paradox?

Once again amazing video dude, really enjoyed it!

Arven is apparently a good battler but his final battle is one of the toughest in game

Great video! But one thing, it’s not called Ayer’s rock anymore it’s called Uluru

Just a heads up, nobody has called it Ayers Rock since the 90s. It is known by its Indigenous name, Uluru (pron. Ooh-luh-roo)

So you're telling me Leon's pose is region locked

I have a theory about Iron Treads, you know how it doesn’t look as much like Donphan as Great Tusk does? That’s because it’s not a paradox Donphan at all, but instead a paradox of a future evolution of Donphan, one that is still an animal, but evolved to be rounder and easier to roll. Another thing is that in the Titan battle, Great Tusk says “DONN PHAND” thus Donphan, but Iron Treads goes “WIIRRRR DONNN” which could indicate that it came from a different creature, I was thinking it’s name could be something like Whirldon or Donwhirl, to show off its superior rolling abilities( I know Iron Treads has the same cry as Donphan, but this is all speculation)

When I realized you could do the spin move it made me think about how you evolve Alcreamie like in sword and shield and low and behold we get dlc that shows Alcreamie as one of the returning pokemon

RE: the theory about the origin of pokeballs. In PLA, Foongus and Amoongus are not in the Hisui region. Also, the old pokeballs were half apricorn and half tumblestone held together with some iron ingle and clasp, giving the classic half red half white design. If they are actually talking about Nishinomori's development of the modern pokeball, it's possible he liked those two mushrooms, but there was never any mention, only he figured it out how pokemon shrink with a Primeape. Classic scientific trope of doing experiments on monkeys...

These were great. I love seeing your Pokémon theories, no matter how "out there" some can be.

As to the final one for the Brute Bonnet, maybe the master ball is purple because it’s the ultimate poke ball and shiny brute bonnet/amoongus have the purple!

a few other Lokix Kamen Rider facts: The original Kamen Rider was experimented upon by evil scientists and was enhanced with grasshopper DNA. Lokix's dark typing might be a reference to Kamen Riders being created in some way by the villains they fight, the wild terra-type lokix, and reports that lokix spawns will increase with fighting-type sandwiches also feed into this idea that it starts out with evil power and then uses it for good.

Great info, thank you!

These are excellent. Nice findings!

Maybe bronzer aren’t found in paldea is because they were melted into the first coin design

Another possible future region hint that I noticed comes from Iono, the Electric Gym Leader of Lavencia. In her stream intros, she says: " 'ello 'ello, chiao and bonjour". That's 3 ways of saying Hello. 'ello 'ello sounds like a British accent, referring to Galar; bonjour is "hello" in French, referring to Kalos... (See where I'm going with this? 😏) Chiao is "hello/goodbye" in Italian! Could this be a possible hint for a future region based on Italy? Or am I just grasping at straws and reading too much into something? 😅 Either way, Australia and/or Italy region(s) are both something I can certainly get excited for!

Lokix's shiny form is also dirctly modeled after one of the more recent Kamen riders, i think it's Kamen rider Zero one if memory serves. So there's your perfect nickname for a Shiny Lokix.

Brambleghast's cry is the first 'wah!' from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Some Cities have references to cities in Spain ex. Mesagoza is like Zaragoza and Levincia is Valencia

As a Quaker parrot Owner I’m proud to say Pokémon has quakers in it.

I LOVE THE DOG FACT!!

Lokix looks like a Beast Wars transformer to me lol.

16:11 OH MY GOODNESS HE MENTIONS KAMEN RIDER!!!!!

I assume the going into houses thing was removed to focus on the open world

i love squackabilly because it have the colors of the brazillian flag✨♥✨

If you go to the store next to the community center in the teal mask dlc and look closely at the shelf with the different cartons of drinks and you swivel your right joy con to the left can find a dokutaro doll laying on a red pillow!

I'll be honest, this is the first video of like secrets of the game I watched that I didn't know majority of these. Most videos generally all say the same thing but this was different and I liked it

Oddly enough in the lab in area zero there is a picture of arven there

As if we hadn't already had Mint Mobile burned into our nightmares enough...

I would absolutely love to see some Aussie slang in the Pokémon franchise

You say intresting a lot loved it.❤

15:50 But how there's a evolution animation if you just said there's no animations at all when taundemaus evolves

Cool secrets!

It's so lame that you can't go into any of the houses:(

invasion and invasive are different themes lol. the rock and roll popularity isn't solely called the rock and roll invasion. lol

I found and caught 3 Shiny Iron Bundles without looking for them

The symbol on the flag looks like Terapagos is Katy working with Terapagos?

This art at 8:00 hints at Australia. We have a part of a whole new (Japan themed) region for the teal mask dlc. And the isle of armor as well as the ruinous pokemon hint at China.

I don’t care what anyone says squakabilly is awesome and his Elvis motif is genius

I've been using mint for a couple of years I had no complaints until they switched to 5G now this phone doesn't allow me to use data at all it only works at home with the Wi-Fi but my birthday is this week and I'm getting a new phone

Ok, the modern pokeball looks like the Foongus and Amogus, but what about the old fashioned pokeball?

That Devon guy did really love mushrooms.

I saw hoop name in that book

Mabisstiff works as a cooking theme with Arven too. He's a butcher!

Every time I hear that fact about Foongus and Amoogus I can't help but think some pokemon see them as a traitor to Pokemon-kind just cause they inpired the humans on what they device should look like to catch them. 😆😂

That intro, I legitimately believed for a second that freaking Ryan Reynolds would actually mention some Pokemon secrets with you. 😅

Ayers Rock is pronounced 'Airs' Rock, but we refer to it as Uluru now.

Another thing I noticed (could be wrong) abt the story line is every character has moved from the prior game's region. So does this mean you're a descendent of the original red/blue? Would make sense because red had a nomadic nature in the manga. Once one area was thoroughly explored or played through he would move onto the next.

Bro got sponsored by Ryan Renolds to make a pokemon video. Thats freakin awesome

Looking forward to the pokémon DLC and this one. Currently playing my backlog starting from the earliest generation I've got which is Omega Ruby going up to Scarlet and Violet. Almost finished lol I have captured all of them in let's go Pikachu/Evee, and Scarlet/Violet. Half way done with Y, Shield, and Pearl.

can vouch that mint is great

Yes to Australia please!!!! Komala evolution?! Oh my

15:48 sorry, but is that not the evolution animation???

That the game doesn't suck lol

I love bramblin!

The little Mauseholds hold on to the parents tails when they walk.

Loxik is basically a fusion of a bunch of different Kamen rider references. It's attack style, design, ability, even it's typing

That film was recorded at Spain so it has even more sense now. Sad to see that the english names doesn't match with the names given in the spanish version, like Nemona being called Mencía in Spanish which is a typical Castellian name. Mesagoza will be the mix between Mesa (table) and Zaragoza a spanish city. very good video!!!! i'm loving this pokemon even with the obvious problems and mistakes.

I also know a fact, it's about Penny. Well specify Cassiopeia. Penny says that her name is Cassiopeia when you about to leave the cafeteria. Cassiopeia is the name of a star/constellation.
