This is THE GREATEST Pokemon Design BY FAR! | Gnoggin - Pokemon Sword and Shield 

Oh, and as a heads up for everyone who doesn't follow me on Twitter @lockstin my health is horrible! So if there is a delay in videos in April (we have videos predone until then) then that's why. Doctors are convinced is coronavirus as my symptoms line up perfectly, and I've tested negative for everything they could get me tested for. I am autoimmune, which puts me in a higher risk category despite being young still. But I assume in the end I'll be fine. In the meantime, I hurt a lot. Stay safe out there, and treat this virus seriously. Reports are coming out of it leaving permanent lung damage even in the younger people who wouldn't likely die from it. Best wishes to all of you, and happy self-isolation-month!

This doesn't even finish here. Ledian, the other Ladybug Pokémon, is based on a Super Hero. Orbeetle is based (partially) on a Super Villain... THAT MAKES THIS EVEN COOLER

Lockstin, discovering the black-and-white pinwheel overlay: "Bit-rate? What's that?!"

"a 6 mile radar is a thing called a 6 mile radar" ah yes, I see this floor is made out of floor

10:09 - “Big brained supervillains” Proceeds to include doofinshmirtz

Me after watching your pokemon origins videos: Is dragapult orbeetle’s predator? Dragapult is based on a stealth bomber, designed to be undetected by radars Orbeetle: straight up radar. So dragapult could sneak up on orbeetle no problem? Edit 0: dang thanks a lot of likes and comments!!!.

Orbeetle looks like a enemy from Sonic The Hedgehog it's still cool though.

You mentioning the Weather forecasting aspect of Orbeetle had me quickly look up Orbeetle's moveset. Can you believe it can't learn Weather Ball? Almost as sad as Revavroom not being able to learn U-turn.

Yeah, Orbeetle is one of the more creatively designed Pokémon. I like it a lot too. I don’t know why but there’s just something about Pokémon that allures me.

Orbeetle is my favorite regional bug and, as an added bonus, has a unique typing

I thought that the Orbeetle was obeying me, but... I was obeying the Orbeetle all along

There is one more reference I seem to be getting from Orbeetle. While yes, you seem to have nailed everything you mentioned, the face of the pokemon reminds me a lot of a Gundam. White faced, gold antennae, green eyes and a red bit between the eyes and it's chin which lines up with the mouth plate of a Gundam. And you bet your Rapidash that there's a Gundam out there that this thing resembles. What could be more nerdy than a Gundam Reference? Not sure if there's a connection to Great Britain with Gundam too, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

13:50 Lockstin: Just take a guess where it lives. Me: *_lives in the British Isles and is also petrified of all bugs_* Me: No... I don't want to...

There's a much easier way to make the British connection: Orbeetle is an evil space invader, and the UK is well known for a viciously invasive species of ladybug, the Harlequin ladybug. If you see a ladybug in the UK chances are it is a Harlequin. It's currently in the process of outcompeting local species!

"It wasp me all along." deserves a like.

"YOU WHERE EXPECTING A LADY BUG, BUT IT WAS ME WASP!"

"It Wasp me all along!" Caddy go to jail for that joke... ALSO Why is Caddy here? (Because all pokemon sword and shield easter eggs need to be British?)

I'm going to be honest with you, I've been researching and obsessing over parasitoid wasps for the last two decades especially mind controlling ones (check bodyguard manipulation) and was hoping that some day we'll get a pokemon inspired by them but dammit I never ever realised Orbeetle was one... You sir are amazing for finding something even a lifelong bug lover couldn't see!

“ it wasp me all along “😂😂😂😂😂 that pun.... stings 😂

Wait so... Bliobug in French is Lar Vader?

Weird map. We definitely have ladybugs in New Zealand. Not even hard to find them.

Wasp: Lays eggs Also wasp: Has male voice

Didn't even mention that Orbeetle's eyes also look like a radar with multiple rings, love this little evil mastermind

I know I mentioned this before, but England has a lot of interesting lore. Yes there's Saint George of the Dragon, he's so famous and important he got a whole day dedicated to him in the UK, but there's actually another figure who fought a dragon that I really want you to know about, especially since he and the monster he fought might very well have a surprisingly strong connection to Applin, that figure is a one Lord Jonathan Lampton. John Lampton shows up in the story of the Lampton Worm, which is actually a dragon because the word worm was also used as a derogatory term for dragon. But the tale of the Lampton Worm leans into this bit more than you might think. In the story of the Lampton Worm, which I highly recommend you look into, the story starts with a figure fighting a worm-like dragon and throwing it down a well on what is later revealed to be part of the territory presided over by the Lampton family. The dragon couldn't climb out because it didn't have any wings or legs or claws to make use of and was actually rather small and young. Later it turned the well into its lair, or at least the entrance to it, and started coming out to prey on the people, by this time the patriarch of the family was too old and feeble to do anything about it and his son (John) was away on the crusades. The people of the town being terrorized by the dragon decided to keep themselves safe the best option was to fill a cow up with milk and offer it as a sacrifice to the monster, this helped by them a week or two of time because this plan actually made the monster feel a bit bloated and want to return to its lair to basically sleep it off. When Johnathan returned from the crusades he learned of the plight of his people and went to face the monster, only to find a giant worm-like monster with a dragon's head that kept growing its divided pieces back together every time he cut it. To learn the rest of the story, and how he managed to finally best the creature, go read the story.

Orbeetle its one of the coolest bug types ever, the design and the typing are amazing and the gmax form makes my jaw touch the ground with such amazing design, I just wish orbeetle had a better hp so that will make it a better tank. But all things say, we can all agreed with the fact this thing makes ledian looks like a joke....if ledian hasnt already one..

That last bit with the green-eyed wasp got me genuenly hyped. It's so perfect!!! I love this region to death!!

Lockstin: J-Just take a guess. Where do you think the green-eyed wasp lives? RU-vid: *AT PIZZA HUT, YOU-*

“Tired of being picked on” Oh, I guess that’s why it learns payback by tr

When you were explaining the Doppler Effect a firetruck sounded it's siren, is this a mere coincidence?

The wasp connection didn’t even occur to me, and I did know about that from a National Geographic article about parasite mind control.

Fun fact: we also use radar to learn about bird migration. When people used radar technology it sometimes picked up on migrating flocks of birds. We only started learning how bird migration worked until we started using radar. With the help of it ( along with the discovery of a stork that had an African spear impaled through its body. It was still alive too.) we learned that birds traveled to other places to follow summer around the globe.

I’m from New Zealand and there are heaps of ladybirds, they’re everywhere. You just got a bad graph.

Been using an Orbeetle I named "Pointexter". This video makes me feel better about that decision.

I knew Caddicarus was the voice of the wasp. I can always spot a Caddicarus cameo even if it's just his voice. Seriously guys do check out Caddy, his hilarious videos are worth every second.

Today I learned that the sound of a chaotic Brit's voice is actually hillarious and something I need to learn to imitate.

13:57 "EvErY GeN 8 PoKeMoN iS BrItIsH"

The eyes and upper body remind me of Gurren Lagann. So this is the power of the Spiral…? Alright, I’m impressed. Heh, heh…

Doesn’t orbeetle remind you of eggman

This is why bug type pokemon are my favorite, the look simple but they have a lot of inspiration from a lot of things.

I think the headpiece of orbeetle is a reference to Gundam, because of the telepathic new type humans piloting them. Some Gundams have a psycho frame that heightens psychic ability of the newtype pilot

"It wasp me, all along muahahahahah!!!" Greatest pun, to ever exist

Also, Dotler is a PUPA, but could also be a PUPIL

2:34 Joke’s on you because I knew ladybugs went through complete metamorphosis ever since first grade. 😎 I even saw some grubs (and maybe a patch of eggs) on my elementary school’s trees!

Pokémon designer after watching this video: “nah bro it’s just a ladybug spaceship thing”

Orbeetle just screams Gundam. It literally has a V-fin. Also some resemblance to an EWAC-Zack.

I hope your health improves soon Lockstin! I wish you the best man.

2:00 The Doppler effect also applies to light, so it’s used to determine which galaxies are moving closer to the Milky Way (approaching galaxies will look bluer, or “blue-shift”), and which galaxies are moving further away (fleeing galaxies will appear redder, or “red-shift”).

6:02 I live in NZ and they're ladybugs, we got blue and black with orange spots, some times you see a red one

The ladybug toy reminds me of the Orbeez things I used to see all the times in stores. I think the big one is actually a ladybug as well.

06:08 As an Australian, I love that, and will be using it.

Orbeetle reminds me of Dr.Wily in megaman 2 where he turns himself into a space alien in the final battle

I like how Lockstin has different intros depending on what the video is about

Ledian line: am i a joke to you??? When you think about it, where did ledian go?? Ahahahaha When you already have a ladybug regional but then they remake it

It's "Larvadar" with an "a" just like radar

1:32 he speaks perfect french, its like it's his native language

14:42 proves this video was about applin the entire time lol

Tim: *there is no going* Gregory: *bad intensifies*

Orbeetle is one of my favourite Pokemon of all time. My Orbeetle (I named her NASA) was such a powerhouse in my Sword playthrough, easily surviving even super-effective attacks. It even carried hard as a Dottler (not as a Blipbug unfortunately).

That Caddicarus cameo was bloody hilarious

I never really appreciated bug types until gen 5, where Leavanny, Volcarona, Galvantula and Scolipede quickly became some of my favourite pokemon of not just that generation but of all time. In Gen 7 we got Golisopod, Araquanid and Vikavolt who just cemented that appreciation as love for bug types. And now we have Centiskorch, Frosmoth and Orbeetle. Bug has gone from my least favourite type to probaly my 3rd favourite. And Orbeetle is a huge part of that. Not only did I use one on my first play through, but I managed to find a shiny gmax one and I absolutely love it. Such an oddly menacing design.

6:00 Um, rude! I'll have you know that as a New Zealander I have found many ladybug and have never been with a woman!!! Wait. Ladybugs... is this YOUR fault...?

We have ledyba and ledian never realized how diverse u can get with a ladybug design

I like how he used “The Twilight Zone theme”

14:14 is that jojo's reference?

Coming from a New Zealander I have found quite a few ladybugs everywhere especially steel blue ladybugs.

This and Volcarona are the ONLY bug Pokemon I love. Like actually love.

I'm sorry but just imagine that conversation at NASA "Sir, why do we have a box of ladybugs here?" "We're gonna see how well they do in zero gravity." "...Why?" "Why not."

And that's why I love your channel Gnoggin, you don't just stop at what's on the surface, you dig deeper.

“More like lideian” *looks at sableye, wondering why it isnt rock type*

I was shocked when I suddenly heard caddys voice

i just thought the thin body was in reference to ladybugs’ equally thin legs. the head seems pretty similar to actual ladybugs too, with the weird intenea & all. the wasp connection was real cool tho

Aight, couldn't find anyone mentioning it, so here goes: In Denmark, we generally draw a connection between ladybugs and the weather. As in, we have a legend-ish thing about sending ladybugs up to the gods to ask for weather changes.

Never thought I would hear Caddicarus’s voice coming out of a wasp. I have mixed emotions right now, gimme’ a minute.

We absolutely have ladybugs in NZ. The ones I’ve more commonly seen are the steel blue; instead of being red with black dots, their exterior is... well... a steel blue

i love it when lockstin finds a pokemon with a good lure and freaks out

I can't say how much I love it. Took it all the way through post game and has an awesome gmax form. I didn't spoil myself so its final evo was an exciting surprise.

Me too! The first time I saw this Pokemon I was like WHOA! Pokemon still got it! If I could add something to your theory, I think you missed a tiny detail. Ladybugs are capable of migrating and even hibernation so I think they really have keen sense of their surroundings even "radar-like" capabilities. Anyway, it's just me using my gnoggin 😅

Apparently there are ladybugs in New Zealand, such Coccinella leonina ("Orange-spotted ladybird", native), C. undecimpunctata ("Eleven-spotted ladybird", introduced) and more recently Harmonia axyridis ("Harlequin ladybird", invasive).

9:06 this beat is 🔥

I notuced that orebeetle's...feet? Are wasp stingers

Me: Oh cool a Ladybug Pokémon. Lockstin: 14:05

Also, ladybugs have an ability to predict weather in the future that scientists still don’t understand. That might be another reason it’s the psychic type and it has to do with radomes/radar as well.

Even with all of this, all of this line (but the G-max form) is 1'4

Well now I want Ledian to have a baby form.

"Every gen 8 pokemon has something to do with Britain" >Turtle species native to america

I distinctly remember my first impression of orbeetle being that the first bug/psychic type had been wasted on an already used species. Orbeetle itself is quite cleverly designed, for sure, but I always thought I'd like it more if ledyba and ledian had never existed. On the other hand, though, something cool about orbeetle and ledian is that ledian's flying type gives it an advantage against the bug-type orbeetle, while orbeetle's psychic type gives it another weakness to ledian's bug-type attacks. Considering Asian ladybirds are apparently an invasive nuisance to seven-spot ladybirds, ledian's being able to give orbeetle such a hard time is just another cool reflection of real life entomology. Pretty neat!

When I first played Sword, I wanted to use Sizzlipede as my Bug Pokemon. I caught Blipbug in the foggy forest just as a means of wanting to fill my pokedex. But because the whole party gains experience at the same time, it evolved into Dottler and I saw that it was part Psychc and I wanted to keep it cause of its unique typing. So I had Orbeetle on my first complete team and then used Sizzlipede/Centiskorch on a second playthrough. Orbeetle's awesome. A lot of gen 8 Pokemon are.

I saw this was about orbeetle and I had to jump in and mention my first shiny in this game was a gigantimax orbeetle. I named him Zurg.

Also: Ladybugs have amazing weather-predicting abilities (I remember that from Animal Planet)

TIL things about wasps that unnerve me and I may never see Orbeetle the same way again. I am just SO amazed at how much thought went into a single regional bug line.

I live in the UK.....we have mind control wasps??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhh Also thats totally Caddy doing the voice right?

I thought he was going to say: You thought it was a ladybug, but it was me DIO

Actually, "mushi" means bug. Tentomushi is ladybug in Japanese

Honestly this pokemon was more of a partner to me than my starter Dottler is absolutely adorable (mostly due to its facial expressions)

12:20 Uncle Caddy Daddy, is that you?

Was that wasp CADDICARUS?!

Side note on Orbeetle, its antennae are shaped like the V-Fins on a Gundam, which are sometimes explained to be better at cutting through signal interference. The outer antennae even have the small safety tabs that Gunpla Kits use on the V-Fins.

That skit with the green-eyed wasp reminds me of an episode of the 2012 tmnt where there was a mutated wasp that stung one of them and basically mind controlled them to guard the egg

It's absolutely insane that we got 2 ladybug lines before we got a single dolphin Pokemon

14:25 Well most gen 1 mons are just an animal on magical streoids anyway
