EVERY ELECTRIC TYPE POKEMON EXPLAINED! | Gnoggin 

And so everyone knows, we are going to do all the types of course. :) Though were saving Dragon for last, the rest have the order up in the air! What would you like to see?

Explaining neurobiology as "meat that gets tickled by electricity" is exactly why you should have been my teacher.

Are we electric types? Yes. We can get hurt by a earthquake.

If only my high school science classes were this entertaining, I might have ended up learning something rather than just hoping for a passing grade.

Rotom = Motor backwards Omg All these years

A bit of a correction on Ampharos. The Pharos in their name doesn't refer to Pharoahs, but rather the word Pharos (φάρος) which is Greek for Lighthouse. In fact, the Pharos of Alexandria created in the Ptolmic Era was even considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_of_Alexandria. Also, I'm pretty sure Galvantula comes from Galvanize, which means to shock something, like how Galvanized

I didnt think I'd finally understand the difference between alternating and direct current on a functional level after watching a Pokemon video. You sir just earned a subscription.

I hear Ampharos' name actually comes from Φάρος (Faros), which is Greek for lighthouse.

“Where a mouse could probably kill you” *black plague intensifies*

I just realized, all these pokemon having electric cheek sacks means they would have a common ancestor.. that's like actual real evolution in pokemon. thats not regional forms or "level up evolving". thats cool

Plusle and Minun are the Nintendo Switch controller Pokemon.

I think I have an inkling for Tapu Koko. Y'know how its ability is to cause Electric Terrain? One of the effects of Electric Terrain is that it keeps you from falling asleep. And Tapu Koko is... a rooster, which is supposed to wake people up. It's still not the BEST reasoning, but it's at least /something/.

Also also, Electrodes look EXACTLY like marker balls seen on overhead power lines (Marker balls are there to make the lines more visible and are plastic) so that means Electrodes/Voltorbs are probably AC :3

With each thumbnail, I'm becoming more and more convinced that Lockstin is a furry.

Personally I think the real electric types are the friends we make along the way

14:16 Imagine what a x4 weakness against electric Wingull being hit by the strongest Electric-Type move: Thunder would become. Yeah, not fry duck, just dust

"The magical world of Pokémon where a mouse could probably kill you." Unlike the real world where there are hundreds of species of mice that can DEFINITELY kill you.

it wouldn't be a lockstin video without questionable furry art in the thumbnail

Wouldn't Elekid be AC? as it winds itself up to generate it's currents.

Alolan Golem formes get their magnetisation from having/being a lodestone, a naturally occuring magnetically charged rock

Eelectross: an EEL Pokemon Company: an EEL? make it electric type, but not water type even though it's literally a damn EEL. and give it levitate to make it have no weaknesses.

"Running from... artists." *Uses Zeraora fanart in thumbnail.* Hey I'm not complaining

I think that it's safe to conclusions that all those damm Pikachu clones have an old common ancestor

As an electrical engineer I applaud you for how well you explained the difference between AC and DC lol I know a few electrical engineers who cant

My favorite line: “Flaafy and Mareep are sheep. Beep Beep.”

I actually never noticed rotom was motor backwards...

I’ve absorbed more information about electricity from this video than I did during two years of physics class. I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing!

9:50 OH I KNOW THIS! Essentially how it would work would be similar to the human reflexes. Essentially when we use a reflex (Like moving the hand from something that hurt us) the nerve signal don't go into the brain to be processed. Rather it basically bypasses the buerocracy and goes directly to where it is needed.

Him: “Let’s not have an existential crisis” *Existential Crisis rates drop to 0%!*

It’s more likely that all Pokémon have a certain level of psychic power. The electric Pokémon telekinetically create a channel for their electricity.

Stunfisk also gets its electric typing from the Stargazer, a Fish that not only can generate electricity but is also venomous

Trainer: HUMAN USE THUNDERBOLT! Human: huma-huma-ANNN!

Me: *taking physiscs* where am I going to use this This video: *explains AC and DC* Me: I already know this 😎 you know, I'm something of a scientist myself

This is gonna be shocking

The Luxray in the Thumbnail is gonna do unspeakable things to that Zeraora 3:38 Dude an Electric Eel has a charge equivalent to a Fuse Box That's not a Tiny Shock that'll take your Heart out

I liked all the pikachu clones bc they all brought something different. Like Plusle and Minun being positive and negative, emolga being a flying squirrel, Pachirisu didnt really change much idea wise(its still just a mouse/squirrel) but its cute and has a diff model. We just dont talk about Dedenne or Togedemaru

The Rotom Machine spirit bit had me in tears, thank you kindly good sir, that was pure magic.

0:25 "Are we all... electric type?" GASP! I can make electricity!? I'm freaking Black Lightning!!! XD

I need a gif of lockstin rubbing Toby's head

8:30 "Pharos" is the acient word for "Lighthouse", some languages still use that word like portuguese we say "Farol"

5:48 Gnoggin: Praises the Emperor and not the Omnissiah in relation to Machine-Spirits My Mars-loyal Ass: "01001000011001010111001001100101011100110111100100100001"

to me the pikachu clones aren't clones at all,they're apart of the rodent family so they're related to pikachu just like other rodents in real life are related to each other in someway

You're getting better with those Thumbnails... *but not good enough.*

You missed the Asimov reference in the Mareep line. "Do Androids dream of electric sheep?"

Electric weak to: Ground: it will disperse electricity And supereffective against: Water:conducts electricity Flying: It won’t be able to fly due to it being paralyzed

Kāne isn't pronounced "kain". It's kah-ney. Hawaiian, being a Polynesian language, doesn't have closed syllables like that.

Every Psychic type explained next! Also I have an idea for another pokemon video, "Why does Golurk learn Fly?"

Lockstin: to humans it feels like just a little shock Everyone that has been killed by electric eels: Are we jokes yo you?

13:00 wait, the way I think It Works is that energy leaves the negative pole and goes toward the positive one, that's why There need to be a difference to have a current, só minus generates, and plus attracts

I feel like Tapu Koko could have had the electric type come from the parallels to the native American legendary Thunderbird, it might be a bit of a stretch from Polynesian to Native American culture, but the Tapus did always remind me and many others of Totem poles. This is Sun and Moon, the games that introduced TOTEM Pokemon of all things.

shouldn't elekid be AC because it swings it's arms in a circle really fast to generate it's shocks from the top of it head?

14:37 this is exactly the kind of random hilariousness I love about your channel, this is the moment that made me subscribe after a long time of stalking 😂

8:48 "Zeb-stricka" Zeb-stricka... With the roots of Zebra and strike, I believe it is pronounced Zeb-strike-a. Correct me if I am wrong of course

Jolteon has an organ that creates electricity. And accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere to use electricity.

ROTOM SPELLED BACKWARDS IS MOTOR?! INGENIOUS

Gnoggin:zekrom literally has a generator for its butt Me:LOL 😂

1:25] "And no, we're not talking about what type of Australian rock band they are." *sad Toxtricity noises*

10:48 no offense but Raikou’s name is based on Rai(雷) Japanese for lighting and Kou (皇) which is Japanese for emperor. Raijin has the same “Rai” part but “Jin” (神) means god and raikou is a legendary but it not a god.

"This is a Pokemon video. Not an Edison vs. Tesla descussion." Tesla wins either way. Edison was a tool and a scoundrel.

"Flaffy and Mareep are sheep... beep beep" 14:36 😂 Why do I find this so funny!?

By the Omnissiah, you make the Emperor proud

Do an episode on all Dragon Types explained.🐍

Do pacharisu put the charged fur balls with the berries so that if something tries to steal them, they get shocked?

"Stupid stupid squirrel" got me that was great

"None of the electric type rodents worked!" Sejun Parks Pachirisu: *Am I a joke to you?*

Get the "N" out of "lightning"? So, you mean "Lightnig"?

The moment you said macine spirit, I knew there would be a 40k reference. Well done, well done.

Shows clip of electrical eel My head :. EELECTRICITY

I'd like to imagine Pachirisu can use trees as a sort of,,, charging stations to collect loose electrical currents from miles and miles of ground and build them up inside itself. Yes I'm aware that's ridiculous but I mean hey, Pokemon, magic.

"This thing is super charged to the max! I guess you kinda have to be when you're constantly running from... Artists.." HAD ME CACKLING

Hi I really like this video series. This was a fun video, and it was cool to see new pokémon as well as some of my old favorites from the anime and from childtime playthroughs. That being said, as a physics teacher I have to object to some of the AC vs DC claims made in the video. Specifically the AC category. I'd strongly argue that all electric type attacks are DC. DC generators exist and to my knowledge pretty much all turn a rotation into DC. There are several ways of doing this, including using conductive brushes or using a commutator. Many of these generators (concrete example: a dynamo) use magnets. So neither rotation nor magnets necessarily implies AC. Now that means those pokémon could be either. But, I'd argue that they are all DC. This is because of the attacks: * Pretty much all special electric attacks are discharges. A surplus of electrons (or possibly ions, but that wouldn't change my point) moves from the electric pokémon to it's enemy. The net movement of the charge has 1 direction, does not return to the electric type, so these attacks are clearly all DC. (Thundershock, Thunderbolt and Thunder.) * As for physical moves, I looked up Volt Tackle in the anime first to be sure. The pokémon charges itself with electricity which gets transferred to the other pokémon on contact. It's very similar to the discharge of the special attacks, except it doesn't go through air. But it's still DC. * As for pokémon like the Electrike line's "using electricity to power muscles", one might think that that could be AC due to the muscle switching between contracting and relaxing. This is biomechanically incorrect however, as the only signal such muscles understand is "contract". The direction of the current doesn't matter in this case: if electricity goes through muscle fiber it contracts. Relaxing is done by not sending a current, and stretching happens because muscles on the opposite side of the bone contract, and the bone pulls the muscle. So these currents are also DC. Sorry for the long comment. I hope this adds something to the video.

14:17 damn that was brutal. He really hates Wingull.

Mareep: “hey guys I have bright bulb on my butt” Flaaffy: “mines bigger ha”

Eelectross is more of a lamprey

0:05 oh yeah, it was Pikachu that was catching our eyes

7:55 types arent always cut and dry, and some things get mixed together under the same type. There is no Light type because its already part of another type. Psychic. Light screen is psychic I think. also necrozoma, a psychic legendary, pretty much a prism/eclipse.

5:43 Yes, he does Protect.

PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH Lol, I was surprised by the 40k reference in this video

3:10 Electross is more of a Lamprey but with Electric Eel adaptations, still close tho.

0:19 that is the creepiest and most depressing description of animals I have ever heard. (Edit) accurate, in some sense, but, still…

"we're talking about the magical world of pokemon where a mouse could probably kill you." Yeah, its a good thing that rat plagues are total fantasy.

its pretty simple.Electric types are made of ...YELLOW

well this video seems pretty grounded on it's facts.

I love how every video you make you teach me some new science facts I know nothing about. It's so great

Lockstin: It's like they're magic or something! Game Freak: yeah we're totally not magic. It's not like our mascot is and electric mouse, and have combinations of animals that can control the forces of nature and the elements to bend them to their will. No magic involved.

You forgot to mention that Zapdos is a Thunderbird... just another play on words in the pokemon universe

Did he just call blitzle and zebstrika horses? Dude they’re zebras

Why is nobody pointing out that he called Heliolisk basilisk? 14:31

I actually like the Pikaclones. It's basically a tradition by now (like bipedal Fire starters and MAYBE Meowth regional variants now), and many of them are SUPER adorable (like my favorite Pikaclone, Emolga). This isn't meant to be a rant, just my humble opinion and an observation to go along with it. Have an awesome everything! C:

I love this series! Great job!

I loved how you make a reference to 40K and the video had 40k views when I watched the video

This was not only a poké-video. It was also an awesome reminder on physics classes! Loved it! :)

Aaah hearing my precious Luxray looks more like a Lynx makes it even better! I love those animals

I've never noticed before how seriously and intently you enunciate and now i cant unhear it. Especially D's and T's.

Many people are disappointed with Magneton for just being 3 Magnemites together. The probable reason they come together is that when Magnemite levels up, their magnetic force increases and becomes strong enough to attract 2 more Magnemites.

Electric eels zap about as strong as a taser, people have died (by drowning).

Stunfisk is literally a Stargazer fish. They are fish that have top mounted eyes and an upward facing mouth. They even produce electricity and can shock predators or people if they step on it.

Let me try for Tapu Koko since he's a favorite..... My theory is Koko is based more on the island he (For those that don't know roosters are only male) protects rather than on the Tapu. Melemele island holds the largest city of all the island that's the mkst diverse as it's a direct game counterpart to Oahu meaning a place of Gathering. Due to it being so diverse and welcoming it seems more advanced than the others and even the games other NPCs compare the island to being more alive, busy, and technologically advanced to the other island. Professor Kukui said he even built the League in the mountains to help Ula Ula continue to grow (since the last attempt at that - a mall- had been destroyed by Tapu Bulu). Out of all the islands Melemele has had the most change in welcoming actual change. The others seem to stagnate or caught in traditions above all else. Tapu has brought enlightenment and you can see through it's ability of Electric Terrain that make Pokemon Wake up. It wants to be new it wants to change. Unlile the other Tapus it interacts more with people aside from being secluded or just playing around. It saves them and entrusts power into those that can change the island praxis. I feel that's why it can also be known as the guardian of war. 1.) Because war advances a civilization to create new technology and change ideals in order to strive And 2.) Because it might not be in the one army vs another army tyoe of war. It might a war to progress. Tapu Koko understands that the islands must change and therefore does not interfere with humans and aides them when ultra beasts appear. It's a war for the new.

The 40k reference made me happy

Stunfisk also takes inspiration from the stargazer fish. Some species (like the uranoscopidae) have an electric organ near their eyes which can produce a 50 volts to scare predators.
