@@stevenpip7339going off what he said if it hadn’t broke off then caves probably weren’t developed yet plus I’m pretty sure it was a mine so it’s partially shaped by man
I always figured that trading and Evo items simply acted as catalysts to encourage evolutions that can also occur naturally over a longer period of time or under other circumstances
Same here. Trading-either with or without items-just accelerates whatever process would normally cause the evolution. Scyther can evolve into Scizor without trading holding the metal coat, it just might have to find and eat enough food that’s really high in iron or something. And Kanto, for whatever reason, just doesn’t have that. Maybe the people there just have iron rich foods shipped in from Johto.
I think thats supported by Steelix, where lore specifies and that it can evolve from an onix shaped by imense heat and pressure deep underground. Considering that Steelix was one of the first item evolutions available in the wild I always assumed those were forged by that process
@@thecaveofcreatures1728 the fact that Feebas, Eevee, and a couple others like Magneton can now evolve into the same thing by multiple methods also supports this. Like yeah there are "mysterious powers" at play but an Eevee always evolves the same way when exposed to a special icy rock of a special Ice Stone. Feebas was first seen to evolve by Beauty and later someone found the Prism Scale that had a similar effect. At the same time, Milotic and even Eeveelutions can be found in the wild in some places. Add into that how it's mentioned somewhere that wild Pokémon seek out human trainers from a desire to get stronger. Obviously they have a natural potential and training gets them to it a lot faster, including evolution
@@ghostlyfieldclub2930 Yes, never thought of that!!! Makes one wonder if the Dragon Fang comes from Regidrago? Wonder if Regieleci & Regigigas have their own items that come from them?
Imagine if they gave both Hawlucha and Hariyama an evolution based on it defeating the other holding a King's Rock. Thye could reduce the RNG by having their being an Ace and/or Veteran trainer that will battle you using both (with a gimmick that uses priority/multi-stike moves to try and trigger the flinch chance). Also, Porygon needs a 'proper' upgrade evolution.
I think a Split evolution could benefit Porygon. There's a Beta Porygon2 in Gold and Silver that ressembles a Dog. That would be cool. But Porygon Omega would also be great. Hariyama could have a feathered belt as an evolution, and Hawlucha could miss the mask and instead sport a crest with more feathers to make reference to maskless luchadores. He doesn't need the mask anymore, after all.
@@darkdragon7210 Buddy Upgrade, maybe. "A long lost upgrade of Base Porygon. Doesn't work on modern systems". It would reference software like Clippy from Office or Bonzi Buddy, which are no longer part of the newer versions. A 2000s quirk of the software.
My head cannon for the Charkadet items is that the malicious armor is the armor of soldiers that died in battle while on the flip side the auspicious armor is the armor of soldiers that didn't die in battle and lived there lives and eventually died of old age.
I was hoping Rhydon wearing the Protector as a high visibility vest and earmuffs as Rhyperior would get a mention, but there's lots of other fun facts instead!
Honestly the metal coat from space could make sense with the legends Arceus proof. That is the first game to not involve the other regis to get regigifas so could imply they aren't made yet, so maybe meteor fell into hisui or sinnoh and Regigigas used the space metal to make registeel
And maybe the scientists of the Pokemon world later found a piece and used it's deposits to mass produce metal coats for scientific/commercial use and then later discovered some Pokemon evolve when the energy produced from trading comes into contact with the alloy
The idea that Iron island was once a mountain that was part of the main landmass of Sinnoh during ancient times makes sense. Most likely what happened was at some point either erosion or some sort of tectonic activity caused the portion of the landmass said mountain was on to crumble and sink into the surrounding ocean resulting in the remaining rock formation to become the modern day Iron island.
Having not played the gen 8 games, I didn't realise there were alternate items for Galarian Slowpoke' evolutions. I always attributed it down to physiology. While other Slowpokes fish with their tails, the Galarian fishes in the same manner as bears with salmon... slapping them out of the water with its claw. If a Shellder bites its paw, it becomes a Slowbro. For Slowking, it's the same as other Slowpokes... the Shellder clamps onto its head. However, in both cases, G. Slowpoke has a different reaction. Shellder excretes a minor venom (not enough to class it as a Poison type) when it bites, and these Slowpoke have a natural allergy to it, hence why G. Slowking becomes completely controlled by the Shellder as they evolve together. The venom is injected directly into the brain, causing a zombie-like state. That's always been my headcanon, anyway.
I want to believe that the steel for Metal Coats does exist on the planet but without the technology to mine and process it they were virtually impossible to obtain. Which would also explain why they are as rare in Johto, a region not known for technological advancement.
Didn't know all that about the Metal Coat, very cool stuff! I came across your channel recently and I've been loving it. Your editing style and voice/tone aren't overwhelming, unlike other videos I've seen, plus the pacing is perfect, so it's nice to have your videos on in the background :)
He's the Frog/Toad, king of tadpoles since the original Poliwag line is stuck as tadpoles, so his kinda their king since he's the one who could fully reach being a frog. He's also like a King's Fool.
Wouldn't the dubious disc be made with traveling the distortion world in mind. Since it was introduced in that gen and that porygon was distorted from its original form.
I feel like the wraith and cuff just attracts the shelder to come bite/attach themselves to that part of slowpoke. Both Slowkings shelder have the same place to attach to but the two Slowbros shelders are in different places Slowpoke tails used to be eaten even by people. But (in theory) due to the cuff the shelder bit slowpokes hand/arm and permanently attached itself there and evolved into the arm canon slowbro
No love for Horsea to Kingdra via the dragon scale and how seahorses are in japanese mythology referred to a illegitimate dragons (the vernacular of that word is used as a cussword, so I'm not typing it here)
i bet reggigaas made regesteel using metal coats, or there origin, as the base material. same could be true of regiice and the special ice i forgot the name of.
2:01 actually, the Pokédex has a different and also interesting explanation for wild Steelix. It states that after 100 years Onix’s body becomes crystal, like the infamous Crystal Onix, before it evolves naturally into Steelix
I’ve always assumed some of these Pokémon didn’t exist until man and the man made items they need to evolve came around. Such as machamp and golem. I assumed that before pokeballs and man they never existed. Only once pokeballs were introduced did they begin to show up. Then I figured over time people would release them in the wild and that’s how we find some of them in the wild.
While I have never been the biggest fan of trade evolutions, cause I've been a fan since the start and didn't always have stuff like actual physical Link Cables (have to specify since it's an item in Legends to get the trade evolutions) or at times friends who played to trade with, I would like it if a lot of the "only for one line to use" evolution items got more uses. Another Ghost or something for the Reaper's cloth, or let something else use the Magmaizer and the like.
The correlation between Galarian Slowpokes using twigs made of nutmeg to evolve and the fact that it gained its powers from the consumption of spices in Galar according to the dex definitely exists... but are the Galarica Twigs poisonous? One of the early Slowking dex entries suggests that Slowking's brain was stimulated by Shellder having toxins. Maybe that has something to do with the Poison Type; perhaps it is also related to how a lot of irl spices are toxic to most animals. Could be the combination of the two.
Seeing a bigger and clearer image of the Galarica cuff and wreath, I noticed that what I thought were flowers are actually something else, possibly a fruit, it's shape and color remind me of the Spelon and Tamato berries.
I do like how the dubious disc is also found in the team galactic hideout in veilstone, makes me think that they tried to remake porygon/2 and they messed up resulting porygon z
At 3:05 what song is this😭 I think it’s from hollow knight but I have no clue and I’m so disappointed in myself for not remembering what game it’s from. I’d appreciate someone letting me know so I can stop thinking I’m crazy
Wait wait waiiiiit... When registeel was captured by humans in ancient times and in todays pokemon time there are lots of megal coats around, ENOUGH TO EVOLVE MANY STEELIX AND SCIZOR, does that imply it had an ancient form? Like a registeel with alot more steel to it, a primal version of sorts?
I wish they just worked like evolution stones. So many great Pokemon you can‘t use unless you have someone to trade with or two systems and cartridges. Probably one of the things I hated the most since gen 1. and they knew the system was annoying and frustrating becaus3 they pulled Mindy to laugh in our face.
before watching ur video i was annoyed at how 90/10 the designs for how much charcadet shares with its evolution but ur explanation pretty much justifies it now
