Actually they DID show Surf being used outside the water in the anime once. I don’t remember the exact episode, but Ash and Paul were in a double battle tournament together and they went up against a Rhydon that used Surf. It basically just summoned a giant wave out of nowhere in the middle of an arena.
"Soak: Its what you do to weaken cereal" Quick, Milk! Soak attack! *pours Milk over cereal * Cereal has been soaked! | - 10 HP *starts munching * Cereal is stil soaked! | -10 HP - 5 minutes later - Cereal has been vanquished!
It was in Diamond and Pearl series, and while I could not find the episode number, I did find this clip on youtube of it happening: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ViiaPCE8kOQ.html
"it was in gen 4 when they realized aqua means water and all of the water moves started with aqua" lmaoooo i didn't realize that. someone on the gen 4 team had a thesaurus that day
Actually, I think Aqua Tail is similar to what some Porpoises do when hunting fish. They swing their powerful tails at something in attempt to stun their prey. It works. And then Snipe Shot and its G-Max equivalent might be better explained via that Waterjet machine you've been showing the entire video. It's basically super compressed water designed for maximum piercing power.
The intro: Lockstin used *Splish Splash* Splish Splash- The user splashes around in muddy water, inflicting tremendous damage that goes through protection. Damage: Over 9,000 Accuracy: *The attack never misses*
Have you ever thought of “what if Pokémon’s types were switched, what would they’re origins and powers be?” ( just a suggestion, you don’t need to do it)
Bubbles might look inoffensive but there's a thing called cavitation bubbles. These are bubbles are formed when there's a rapid change of pressure in a liquid, normal or alike to bellow the liquid's vapor pressure in a very small area. So they are filled with hot vapor and be surrounded by normal bubbles making they implode liberating all the energy they stored. And hot I mean slightly bellow the surface of the sun or more. And there are some species of shrimp can create those bubbles discharging 4000°C in their imploding. A fricking shrimp Imagine how hot a bubble made by a Dreadnaw or Kyogre can make by snapping their jaws (size might nref them actually, but pokémon magic)
"its the crappy 5 pack at the dollar store powerful" lmao 🤣so subtle yet so funny asf. And what did slugma do to be getting wrecked during each example lol
Lockstin "okay so for this sponsor, i wanna get covered in honey" everyone else "are we going to do that last, so you can go home and wash up after?" Lockstin "...nope.. then you're gonna come with me, and film... trust me, it'll make sense"
If you don’t mind me asking what happened to the corrections video you said you put up for the Pokémon types explained series? Not only the corrections video but also the master compilation video and the remakes you said you’d do for the steel and rock type videos?I’m not trying to pressure you by any means I’m just curious if they are going to happen or not.
You know, bubbles are actually pretty powerful, or they can be. Boat propellers are made of the hardest metals possible, but the bubbles created by the spinning of the blades still mess them up, they're easily covered in pockmarks from the tiny explosions. Also I want a gigantimax Inteleon.
Well I'm 40 seconds in and I already want an attack akin to Freeze Dry that instead of an Ice move that deals super effective damage to Water types, it's a Water type move that deals super effective damage to Steel types. Water Jet? Jet Cutter? RIP Heatran and Excadrill.
Somewhat related, somewhat tangential, but I really think Scald (and Steam Eruption) should be super effective against Ice-types, just to compliment Freeze Dry. I also think Ice should resist non-Scald/Steam Eruption Water attacks for the same reason Water resists Ice. It's just baffling how these two things aren't the case yet.
A lot of "signature moves" are learned by other Pokémon, but they can still be signature moves. For example, even though Leaf Blade is a very widespread move, I would still consider it to be Sceptile's signature.
7:30 Actually, in the Diamond and Pearl anime, Ash and Paul end up fighting a Rhydon that uses Surf in the middle of a stadium, with no water around it. It just kinda summons a big wave of water outta nowhere, cause magic and all that
A water spout is basically a tornado over a large body of water, so it causes large amounts of water to fly and spin into the air, and then fall back down with a tremendous amount of force when the storm dissipates.
Well, the Japanese name is technically something like hopping, like a fish pointlessly flopping on the ground, which is why Hoppip also learns it for being in character to pointlessly hop around, as well as Azurill, Spoink and Buneary.
Wailord is less dense than air, meaning that it would actually float like a helium balloon. This logically also means that it couldn't displace water so it would be terrible at splashing. Science!
Wailords splash is actually a water spout I guess. Also, why is water sport even a thing when rain dance is much better alternative to that move (it also powers up water)
Surf and waterfall, imo, are best represented in Smash, with the up special you mentioned, but also Squirtle's dash could be what surf may look like when just for movement
Fun fact: it makes sense that steam eruption is stronger than scald, steam hurts WAY more than boiling water, even if they are at the same temperature. The reason behind that is that when it touches your (colder) skin, it condenses. And the amount of heat steam it releases when condesing is (iirc) around 4 times the amout of heat you need to bring liquid water from 0 to 100ºC.
I'd argue Withdraw barely qualifies as a Water move, since most sprites for the move show the Pokemon being encased in an Oyster or Clam shell, and we can draw a speculation that the pokemon is using Water Magic to withdraw into a Clam or Oyster shell.
So you know the move that splashes the water and with the fire makes a rainbow? I can kinda explain, a sunburn is a burn, and splashing water on a burn hurts alot
I can respect the man for the bits. I already did, other than some opinions on pokemon designs that I don't get agree with and won't get into, but the man got fully clothed into the bath, pretended to drown, and covered himself with honey. Absolutely phenomenal.
Fun fact! Just like how you can dive in the middle of nowhere of no body of water, in ORAS, you can battle pokemon that are flying in the sky and unlike X and Y' "Sky Battles", you can use any kind of Pokemon in these fights, in other words, you can send Pokemon like Primal Groudon to fight other Pokemon in the sky! (They are most likely falling in their death tho and they might even shatter the ground apart as soon as they land in the ground...)
speaking from experience despite popular belief getting salt water in a wound doesn’t actually hurt much more than regular water and its basically hydrogen peroxide without the tickling bubbles
I was waiting for a Todoroki pic during scald tbh. Also Aqua Jet is almost always shown as the user shooting water from their body like a sort of jet engine, not a water stream.
People really underestimate the power of pressure. Not only can water knock you off your feet and break your ribs with a fire hose or cut through bone with a high pressure water cutter, but even high pressure air can cut through your skin and clothes in an air hose.
Oh god the screaming underwater caught me off guard so bad I had to stop the video cause I was laughing too much... Then he does it again on the title card and I'm back to square one 😂
"Splish Splash..(deadpan stare from tub) I'm taking a bath" Why on earth did I put off watching this for a week, I'm happy just 2 seconds into the video! Lol
There is now a new G-Max Move: G-Max Cannonade, the signature move of Gigantamax Blastoise. Blastoise uses all of its armaments to fire a ton of blasts that trap the opponent in a whirlpool.
“Well now I feel dumb.” *”You should!”* This is literally the best sponsor ever just because of this very line. *Also* Read More *Aha I made you click read more! Now click that one!*
I thought the background music he played while explaining Primareena's moves was familiar then i remembered it from a game called Raymon M. It's Razorwife's theme music to be exact and one of my fav jams ever :)
Sparkling aria and oceanic operetta is more like water bubbles filled with sound energy which then pops in the enemy’s face and due to the sound being very loud and compacted it hurts a lot via ear splits and explosions
Actually, in Pokémon origins, the mini hi quality series, Nidoqueen used surf by making a water sphere in either it mouth or hands (it's been a while for me) and slams it on the floor to create a wave. Think that was episode 3 or 4.
Lockstin: You should've gone to bed an hour ago. It's the internet I'll still be here tomorrow. Me: Yeah but its also RU-vid so I'm not 100% sure on that statement.
They do show surf out of the water in Pokemon Origins and in some short with a milotic that I can remember. It just summons a wave from its mouth/around it's body.
Regarding how bubbles can hurt, here's a thought: Perhaps it is psychological damage. There are moves like Confusion and Nightmare that more obviously affect the mental health aspect of HP, and (going off of the "bubbles are explosions" angle you brought up) explosions can be startling. However, since the explosions in this instance are from bubbles popping, it can explain why the move is so weak. Potentially gives another reason for why speed can be lowered: hearing explosions can make us more cautious. Alternatively, it might be causing damage via overstimulation of the opponent's senses (not too unlike Tickle), and the speed reduction is because they need more time to muster the energy to use a move.
To explain fighting under water and not dying The Pokémon manga shows that the move dive actually moves the water out off the way and that allows trainers to go to the bottom of the ocean!
A lot of water attacks focus on concussive damage. I mean a wave isn't too threatening when it's just moving you about button when it's powerful and slamming you into the ground or a wall that'll hurt. Not to mention like most things when enough pressures and force is utilized to concussion damaged is event greater.
Also water spout is very common on kyogre and wailmer and it's evolution wailord, because they are based on whales which shoot out pressurized water from their blowholes.
I feel like you could have talked about the Pistol shrimp when explaining the bubble moves, although that shrimp creates one singular explosive bubble whereas the pokemon launch a torrent of bubbles.
I think that the way the moves like surf, dive and others work when they´re not near water is similar to how rain dance works. The pokemon summons water/transforms part of the land such pokemon is in into water and they use it to attack others or hide themselves.
The Pistol Shrimp incapacitates it's prey by shooting a bubble that reaches the temperature of the surface of the sun, stunning and/or killing it. Maybe it's sun bubbles they're shooting.
I just want to write that I really appreciate your videos and the work you an your team put into it. Your videos have been a part of my life for at least 4 years and helped me learn the english language while enjoying good and fun content. Just keep going and if you want too branch out to other topics that would be really cool. Have an awesome day
