Weird/Creepy Pokedex Entries: Scarlet Edition 

Veluza's dex literally goes "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me."

Annihilape's Violet entry takes the cake for me - "It imbues its fists with the power of the rage that it kept hidden in its heart" - you mean that Primeape, who sometimes got so angry that it died, was actually relatively calm compared this guy?!

No matter what region, no what game, there are always Pokédex entries to remind us of how terrifying it would be if Pokémon existed in the real world. Whether it be a ghost dog that drains your life force, or a parallel universe psuedo legendary that could wreck an entire town

What gets me is Annihilape, who I saw in a leak at like 3AM. "When its anger rose beyond a critical point, this Pokémon gained power that is unfettered by the limits of its physical body." "It imbues its fists with the power of the rage that it kept hidden in its heart." Primeape, who is known to track people down over any distance for the crime of having once existed within perceptible distance, THAT PRIMEAPE, was apparently holding itself back? That was it's calm side? Just got so angry it rose to a different plane of existance, then bound itself in flesh just to keep beating you.

“How can an organic being reproduce with a robot?” Transformers fanfics: “Allow us to introduce ourselves.”

Can one pokemon have many souls? Yes. Spiritomb has about 108

Squakabilly's are likely safe from Tinkaton because they aren't steel types. Tinkatinks get bullied by other steel types according to it's dex entry, and it seems to keep a vendetta against them into it's evolutions lol

"Can we have two souls in a single pokemon?" Absolutely, we already know the cap is *at least* 108 from spiritomb

Tinkaton's hammer being MADE OF PIECES OF CORVIKNIGHT is so metal. Especially since the shiny Tinkaton's hammer is shiny Corviknight's colors.

That paranormal magazine is actually in the game and you can read it: it's called Occulture and various issues of it are on the shelves in the Uva Academy Entrance Hall. In Violet, they each describe a different Paradox Pokémon you can find in the game, but from the perspective of weird conspiracy theories; in one of them they say Iron Moth is a UFO sent to spy on mankind by aliens mounting an invasion

The reason why tinkerton attacks corviknight is because it's whole evolutionary line has a backstory about how it grew up being picked on by steel type so it get got back at them by making giant steel hammer to fight back.

I actually love Rabsca's description in violet, tbh! "An infant sleeps inside the ball. Rabsca rolls the ball soothingly with its legal to ensure the infant sleeps comfortably." really give off an unnerving vibe because it doesn't specifically say the 'infant' is a Rellor, just that there's something inside the ball/egg

tinkaton being this tiny gremlin that casually knocks Corviknight out of the sky to scrap their armour and make a new hammer out of it is just funny to me. Mfer was such a menace to the paldean corvikight population that the local taxi service had to swap to little parrots instead so they weren't pelted with launched rocks constantly, it's glorious, best new Pokémon without a doubt And admittedly while the Pokédex isn't as violent as it has been, I do appreciate the focus on predators and prey I've seen. It's pretty nice to see them trying to bring up and elaborate on the ecosystem these creatures live in, it's great.

i like bombirdier's entry because not only does it drop rocks, it specifies that it's doing this specifically for fun

What's hilarious about Tinkaton's pokedex entry is that Tinkaton can't learn Smack Down

according to the pokedex in scarlet and violet, the creator of the modern pokeball was obsessed with foongus.

I already couldn't take regular Hydreigon seriously because it looks too much like an evil muppet, but the the dex entry for Iron Jugulis is just icing in the cake.

Yeah it occurred to me that to evolve Primeape into Annihilape, you have to command your Primeape to die from rage. That's why it has the ghost type. That's pretty messed up when you think about it. Thanks Game Freak.

i love that they gave primeape's corpse a chance to shine. and i do get more of a zombie/revenant vide from annihilape than a ghost vibe. it has one of the weights on its arms missing and the other cracked open, kinda like a body that was chained down but broke free when it came back. it has a very corpse like colour, pale and decayed. i love it.

Tinkaton's pre-evolution oft states that they hunt metal to slowly but surely improve their hammers. Tinkatuff's entry even states they go hunting Pawniards and Bisharps to collect their metallic remains. So my guess is that Tinkaton is hunting Corviknight simply for its armor

"Can you have 2 souls in a single Pokemon?" Why yes! In SV specifically you have Tandemaus which are 2 separate creatures but are a single Pokemon. Then it can evolve into a family of 3 or 4 separate creatures but still a single Pokemon. I know that comments was just something JWittz said in passing and not a serious question, but I finally knew a thing so I wanted to say it. Plus I find the Tandemaus/Maushold line really interesting.

I'm a bit surprised Naclstack's Scarlet dex entry wasn't mentioned here- it definitely took me and my brother aback. "This Pokémon dry cures its prey by spraying salt over them. The curing process steals away the water in the prey’s body."

Now I need to wait form him to recover form the Flamigo incident for the second part.

My girlfriend and I have a running joke with Maschiff sounding like Droopy, going "But I am intimidating...." And Annihilape kinda makes me think of when Akuma becomes Oni in Street Fighter IV. And Iron Jugulis screams of that Dr. Weird bit. "Gentlemen.....BEHOLD! I have made love to this MACHINE!!! And now, upon retrospect, I ask why.."

TheJWitts: 'Can we have two souls in one Pokemon?' Spiritomb: 'Allow us to introduce ourselves...'

You actually can read bits of that paranormal magazine in the academy's Entrance Hall. There are greenish books that stick out from the rest, and they each contain a blurb about a Paradox Pokemon. While nothing in those blurbs really sticks out, there's a student in the hall that describes the magazine as strange, so that Iron Jugulis dex entry is most likely something the magazine made up.

I also like how in scarlet, the dex entry for froslass talks about how she finds people and pokemon she likes, freezes them and takes them back to it’s den as decorations.

Squawkabilly is ok to fly the taxis because Tinkaton only trolls Steel-type Pokemon

4:21 "Can you have two souls in one Pokemon?!?!" Spiritomb: "..."

Iron Jugulis may be a reference to Hydreigon was originally conceived as a dragon tank combination.

Rabsca is so tame in Scarlet compared to Violet, "An infant sleeps inside the ball. Rabsca rolls the ball soothingly with its legs to ensure the infant sleeps comfortably." AN INFANT????

We always talking about TinkaTon attacking Corvinknights, but never Tinkatuff killing and taking the body parts of Bisharp

I'm actually disappointed you only covered the new Pokémon this time, because I've just learned from this game that a Jumpluff will die when it runs out of cotton spores. It's almost Spoink all over again with this one!

Kinda sad you didn't mention Nacli's evolution who basically salt dries Pokemon alive until they lose all their moisture

Rabsca gets even weirder in the other games dex, where it says its believed the ball is an infant that it picked up along the way. Try and make those 2 entries both make sense at the same time

6:55 JWittz: HOW WERE YOU BORN?!!! Iron Jugulis: "NANOMACHINES, SON!!!"

Think it would've been more fitting if Annihilape was more calm than Primeape since the Sun entry mentions that it "looks peaceful in death." But instead it just becomes even angrier somehow. Maybe it's because Annihilape "died" (there's a lot of implications that Ghost types are not inherently undead, for example the dead mother Marowak and Acerola's genuine ghost Mimikyu in the anime) that it gained newfound powers to bolster is rage even further

Greavard and Houndstone are so interesting and kind of disturbing to me- and I feel like I’m the only one! IT LOSES ITS SKIN WHEN IT EVOLVES INTO HOUNDSTONE. Like I get it, decomposition is obviously a real thing, but like I didn’t think I’d sort of see it in Pokémon!!

Forget eat, how does it breath!? I seem to remember an early episode of the anime where a Dodrio got its necks tied in a knot and the doctor was worried about it strangling itself!

Flamigo is also based on a balloon animal hence the twist its neck into a knot to prevent the energy from coming out.

1:19 probably because Tinkaton most likely do it for their metal according to the preevolution deck entries, Squakabilly aren't Steel type

Annialiape sounds like a lvl 20 barbarian from dnd that just refuses to die and will fight anyone who tries to end them to the death and beyond

"this pokedex isn't as gorey as some others." Man missed scarlets entry for the fire version of tauros, where it literally talks about how it gores people and leaves thrid degree burns while doing so.

It’d be fun if we had Pokedex entries that were meant to be darkly humorous in future games

6:45 my headcannon is that Hydreigon fell in love with the paradox form of Magnimite, Sandy Shocks... Why? Cuz when I was planning out a sun team of scarlet paradox pokemon a stumbled onto a 5 star female Hydreigon raid. Thus the ship idea of Devastator the Hydreigon and Boltbarian the Sandy Shocks was born, and I can't stop imagining their dates just being them destroying stuff

Robot: "I made love to this Pokemon! And yet, upon retrospect, I ask Why?"

The Iron Jugulis entry sounds more like a poorly translated version of "love child". Iron Jugulis looks like the love child of Hydreigon and a Robot.

That cutaway to Oinklologne booping over the basketball rim was absurdly funny 😂😂😂😂

Tinkatink shoots at corvinight for their metal, hence why they won't attack non metalic birds. Their hammer is most likely made of metal from corvinights, especially since the shiny version has a hammer with similar colors to shiny corvinight (while the actual pokemon doesn't change at all).

I think Paradox Hydreigon’s dex entry might be a reference to Pulseman since that’s essentially Pulseman’s origin story, they’re the child of a scientist who fell in love with a Robot

I always figured that pokemon breeding was like a soul based thing, where they combine there soul power and produce an egg. That's why all kinds of wildly different pokemon can breed, despite the fact that they really shouldn't be able to. Because of this, I figured the Iron Jugulis was the product of this, between a Hydreigon and some kind of robot with a soul

4:20 "But can you Have 2 Souls in 1 Pokémon?" I Think Spiritomb wants to have a chat with you

That ending did to me what you did to that flamingo 🤣🤣🤣

0:50 its a whole story in its pre-evos, a pokemon that eats metal (most likely corviknights) eats their Bat/hammer. So when it evolves it takes revenge on them, thats why the parrots are cool with it.

Flamigo is a pink boxing glove(from the side) and its feet are the shoe lace you tie the gloves close. Hence the fighting type.

This is probably one of the oldest series I've ever been subscribed to.

8:06-8:09 That was both extremely creepy and extremely hilarious at the same time.

Your oinkologne reaction reminds me of that meme of a lion being able to jump really far, but a reader thought it was vertically so they showed a silly photo of a lion jumping to an eagle

Ever since I saw someone point out that Veluza is based off a Blue Hake, I have not been able to stop thinking about how delicious it would be. Glad to see the Pokedex confirming that

8:05 OH GOD! That scared there crap out of me!

I love that the new spider pokemon pretty much picks fights with scyther..

That Paradox Pokedex entry literally read like a fanfiction LMAO

I failed the Maschiff test. It's just too ridiculous and cute. Also I did not need that body horror jumpscare at the end.

Why is one of the Dex entries for Iron Jugulis have to be about Hydreigon breeding with a robot?

That ending was genuinely kinda scary and definitely unexpected xD

6:35 The description for Iron Jugulis seems to me like a reference to Pulseman, another Game Freak developed game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. In that game, you are the titular Pulseman; the offspring of the human Dr. Yoshiyama and his AI supercomputer C-Life. How exactly can a human reproduce with a computer? Well, just like in this Pokedex entry, it's never elaborated upon further. Lovely.

Oh thank god the king of Pokémon is back !!!!

that ending had me dead lol

I'll just say that as a fan of Ghost type pokemon and a fan of Primeape, Annihilape brings me joy

By using Rage Fist 20 times, Primeape became so angry that it died...by evolving into the part Ghost type Annahilape.

The entire Tinkatink line is a horror story. Hammer eaten by metal eaters, taking the body parts of pawniard and bisharp to forge a new hammer, aiming to take down crowscure from the sky? Adorable villain.

So, Primeape literally awakens the Satsui no Hado and becomes "Akumape"

J, I think the magazine is a reference those insane tabloids back in the day with headlines like "Kidnapped and made love with the wolfman!"

Wholesome: Greavard resurrected itself to find love in a human, however i noticed how not only do stoutland and houndstone look alike but the ones who look more alike are maschiff, masbosstif and greavard and hounstone, could be both.

5:50 Well, Hulk (and other gamma mutates) did have a recentish revelation that they're basically immortal.

Fuecoco's final evo is now a daddy to a fire bird.

Can you have 2 souls in a pokemon? Spiritomb: Am I a joke to you?

I've never had a chance to get a good look at Skeledirge or read its dex entries since I haven't been able to get one in a trade yet, but wow, learning that the little fireball on its head is a bird makes me like it even more.

The knot thing makes sense if you see Flamigo as a Balloon animal

Weird irony when you have both tinkaton and corvaknght on the same team.

For the Iron Jugulis: When you consider that Dex entry, the books in the academy, the after story with Arven and if you simply know what a Paradox actually is: That Dex entry might actually explain what all of these Pokemon ACTUALLY are with simply that first part of the sentence.... (Also: those books in the academy are the Magazines you're looking for I think)

5:40 is the funniest thing I've ever seen in a TheJWittz video.

1:08 One of Tinkatuff’s dex entries mentions how it attacks Pawniard and Bisharp so it can get their metal to improve its hammer. So I imagine that’s why its evolution attacks Corviknights and not Squawkabillys

Greavard's entry is just sad, it was a dog pokemon once and died alone, that's terrible. Also i can't believe Covernight has an natural predator and it's a freaking dwarf with a hammer

The magazine is called Occulture, you can find them around the entrance hall in the academy.

"Are you a calm and reasonable Pokémon, Annihilape?" *[Absolutely livid]* _"IF THE SITUATION CALLS FOR CALM."_

Fun fact! The magazines exist in-game Most entries are in the School's library, which is also the entrance-hall, 2 of them can also be found in Arven's lighthouse, and all the magazines describe different Paradox pokemon (eg: Iron thorns actually loses the violent temper that normal Tyranitar have, whilst Iron Jugulis legit destroyed a building and flew off)

Tinkaton's villain arc is probably the best dex entries of this generation.

If you look at the pokedex entries for the Tinks, I don't think Tinkaton's eating Corvinkights

Gotta say, I actually really love this generation's set of new Pokemon. So weird, so wild, very crazy, I'm all for it.

I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time- maybe since the beginning of your channel?- and they never cease to make me laugh out loud. Thank you for continually brightening my day! 💖

I'm pretty sure Iron Jugulis is not really the love child of a Hydreigon and a robot, but a Hydreigon converted into a cyborg from the future. After all, the description came from a paranormal/conspiracy magazine (and those magazines tend to feature weird and questionable articles and descriptions).

Yes, LOVE Skeledirge! No idea why Bird Keeper Toby dislike him. Skeledirge is the first quadruped fire starter, and LOOKS LIKE IT!

Ok that ending got me into laughter for some reason, probably because of how freaky it was, but I didn't even notice that wasn't how actual flamingos looked like.

yo, seriously... I didn't even realized that sombrero looking thing on Crocalor's head was a nest with an egg. lol. Okay, I like the fire-starter of this generation more now. My bad, lol.

“Can you have two souls in one Pokémon?” Spiritomb:

I love all of these entries but one of my personal favorites is Wugtrio. "It has a vicious temperament, contrary to what its appearance may suggest. It wraps its long bodies around prey, then drags the prey into its den."

These videos are always a treat

Rabsca is basically Lucemon (Satan mode, specifically)

That ending was amazing! subscribed
