For those who want to know: "A level 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters; by using Helping Hand by two different Pokémon in a Triple battle, holding a Metronome, Power Trick, a Skill Swap to Pure Power or Huge Power, 6 Attack boosts, and a Mimiced Me First used on a slower Pokémon using the Defense Curl/Rollout combo. Also, Shuckle's partner must have the ability Flower Gift and the weather must be sunny. On the 5th turn of using Rollout consecutively without any misses, if used against a level 1 Ledyba, Yanma or Combee with minimum Defense stats, that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as Screech), it can deal 481,266,036 damage with a critical hit." - Bulbapedia

Curious that they wanted Quilava as a Pokémon starting with Q in the same generation they added Qwilfish and Quagsire

IIRC Ledyba’s 1997 beta sprite DID have five stars on its back, and I’m guessing they just never changed its category

To save everyone else the trouble of looking it up like I did, Croconaw isn't allowed on the GTS because it contains "con", which is apparently French for "c*nt"

I understand *why* , but man it just feels like Remoraid and Octillery got robbed compared to their beta designs. Also, one of my favorite fun facts is that Bellossom had a different color palette in prerelease art, more similar to Vileplume's, and in gen 2 only, that coloration is used for her shiny

Octillery and Remoriad are reminiscent of the Octobomb and Gunfish enemies respectively from Game Freak's Mega Drive action game, Pulseman. It's also a well known fact that *_WATER CAN DESTROY PULSEMAN_* because it shorts out his electric powers... in stark contrast to how electric is super-effective against water in Pokemon. Maybe Pulseman convinced Game Freak to let him do the destroying for a change.

Entei's name is a combination of one of the Japanese words for Flame and one of the other Japanese words for Emperor. Suicune is the only Legendary beast that's name doesn't contain a word that translates to Emperor although it does contain one of the Japanese words for water and monarch.

Houndour can be obtained before beating the game in Ultra Sun too. Although not caught, there's a chance it'll appear in the Poké Pelago once the player has reached Poni Island. It can also be hatched from an egg, also in Ultra Sun, if you catch a Houndoom on Route 12. Gosh, they really don't want you to have this one during the main story, do they?

Fact about Lugia: It was not originally intended to be in the games. In the 1997 Spaceworld Demo the leaked ROM has a full Pokédex programmed into the game, and Lugia is nowhere to be found, there isn't even a Pokémon that remotely resembles it in the Pokédex. It was most likely added to coincide with the anime. Also, Pokémon like Togetic, Wooper and Sunkern weren't planned to be included either, despite Togepi, Quagsire and Sunflora being in the game albeit with slightly different sprites, with Sunflora in particular having a minor redesign to having feet as it originally had roots and was stuck in the ground. Beta Sunflora really reminds me of Undertale's Flowey.

Hugh's hair looks more like Braviary's plumage than a Quilfish. Team Plasma needs to learn how to throw insults 😂

Papasea- "Sentret was the only pokemon categorised as Scout until Hisuan Growlithe" Patrat- "Am I a joke to you?!"

you could breed a hitmonlee with Hi Jump Kick to a Tyrogue in GS then evolve it to Hitmonchan, then trade it back into a Gen 1 game, and use it for Stadium. Hi Jump Kick would then be a Pink attack, meaning it normally can't have the move.

Typhlosion did have its first Anime appearance in the generation 2 series, its debut appearance was in "Raikou - The Legend of Thunder" which came out in Japan on 30th December 2001. Yes it was a special were Ash wasn't the main character, but it's part of the main Anime series.

15:59 there’s no way that’s a coincidence

I really wish they would make a variant of Octillary that's Water/Steel even if it's just an evolution of it.

Flaaffy also didn’t appear until the gen 3 anime.

You awakened some core memories when you showed the Topps trading card! I loved those things. Idk if I specifically had the one with Pikablu, but I know I knew that name back then.

Surprised by how many of these I didn't know. Awesome stuff 👍

Ledian is nocturnal, but can still be found awake at early morning? So it's sleep schedule is just as abhorrent as mine, that's comforting

I remember sweeping Crystal with just a Furrret. Ice Punch, Defense Curl, Rollout and Amnesia

I cannot believe you forgot that my boy Patrat is also the scout pokemon

Ledyba is probably called the 5 star pokemon due to its real world inspiration being a ladybug, which has a "five star" species in asian languages

Great video! Gen 2 is my favorite and almost all of these were still new facts to me, love your content!

Dang, I was just replaying Gold and Silver and I see this vid! Nice one man, you timed this really well and I never knew some of these facts!

I love these fact videos, even after being a fan of Pokemon for so long I still learn new things in these

You can't convince me that those pincers on Scizor are scissors.

Sneasel couldn't use dark or ice type moves effectively until diamond and pearl

Lanturn can, according to its Pokedex Entries and some math, emit as much energy as there is in the observable universe times 10^105. This amount of energy unleashed at the same time would cause the entire universe to collapse into a black hole the size of the observable universe times 10^35. That, or it emits magic light that ignores refraction in water, which is ironically more realistic than an angler fish casually collapsing the entire universe on a whim.

I literally just watched the Kanto one yesterday and was hoping for a new episode soon. Crazy how its out the next day

The reason why there are different water egg groups is because its based on what is a salt water and a fresh water pokemon. I cant tell you why they made a 3rd one tho

Just seeing Smeargle here reminds me of how it is coming back in Gen IX. Hopefully I can keep up the trend of Teaching it Transform.

Another Fact About Furret: As seen in the Entry in SS, Furret Enjoys Chasing Rattata, and in Another Entry (in a later game I forgot), it Enjoys Messing with them, so furret like terrori,ing Rattata

My guess as to why Delibird has vital spirit is cause he’s supposed to be Santa who obviously stays up all night to deliver presents or whatever. So they probably just slapped on insomnia too to emphasize it and cause fuck Delibird idk

cleffa being a star refers to it’s shadow. the tuff on it’s head, both ears, and both feet being the five points. it holds it’s hands in-front of it :)

Keep up the good work sea!

Nice video I enjoy the broad universe you take facts from like anime, Adventures manga, main games and then the more obscure games and manga By the way, now that you have a second channel, any chance you'll do Nintended videos for non-Pokemon Nintendo games like your Zelda one on this channel Maybe a Zelda series upto the new releases

Considering their names are Remoraid and Octillery, and Octillery can learn Octazooka, it makes sense their early designs were based on weaponry. One is named after "artillery" and a move named after "bazooka".

1:40 "Sentret was the only Pokémon categorized as the Scout Pokémon until Hisuian Growlithe in Legends Arceus." **incorrect buzzer noise**

An Entei game cover would go hard tbh

Cleffa's shape has an explanation: It is called the star shape pokemon based on the five point star shape Cleffa's body has when its arms are placed on its tummy This shape comes from its tall hair, pointed ears, and little legs

"Smeargle is the only Pokémon that can learn the same move muliple times via level up" I think the Pumpkaboo line can learn Trick-Or-Treat at many different levels too

Dunsparce is measured from head to tail not sure if you counted it that way

15:25 - Suicune, Entei & Raikou all feature on Pokemon Colosseum's Cover. I assume you were referring to main series titles.

Pikachu and clefairy heroic tales are a reference of mario

Not to be that guy, but Sentret's section is wrong twice. -Patrat is also the Scout Pokémon; -The spinning Sentret sprite is from Gold and Silver's credits, bot HGSS.

The Chikorita disrespect at the beginning of the video AND during the Togepi fact...it's almost as if Game Freak knew how bad of a starter it was, lol.

My rationale for why Delibird has insomnia and vital spirit is that it is based on santa, and santa stays up all night when delivering presents

I used to think all Noctowls looked like Ash’s not knowing what Shiny Pokémon were

@PaPaSea 10:29 Granbull's real head is underneath the bulldog's head :-) In Japan, fairy is 妖精 and it is often considered as an evil magical being - rather than tinklebelle-like.

Ledyba being called the 5-Star Pokemon despite having circles on its wings is a reference to real life ladybugs, which are sometimes named "N-Star Ladybug" with N being the number of spots they have. And if you want to get pedantic (I do!), the first shiny shown in the anime was the golden Ho-Oh in the first episode, since that was actually meant to be Ho-Oh's normal coloring before it was cut from Red and Blue.

If you change Butterfree's name in Pokemon Go, you cannot change it back because of the word "butt"

Raikou and Entei are both featured alongside Suicune in the Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs game cover

I'm not sure if it's made deliberately or just a coincidence but ledian looks like the pulseman character

The hoppip fact was put into the overworld animations in scarlet and violet, and it's hilarious 😂 Edited for spelling

Can you do a video of the Pokémon mystery dungeon guide please?

The ? and ! Unown being in gen 3 surprised me! Makes me wanna get back into frlg

Cleffa is absolutely shaped like a star.

Cleffa does look like a star, imagine a silhouette if it did jumping jacks You robbed me with that one

I wanted to bring up that the entire legendary dog trio actually shows up on the cover of Colosseum! Suicune is the only legendary dog to show up on a main series cover though~

12:51 all I’m gonna say is- They are both in the water 1 egg group

5:55 The Magical Pokémon Journey Manga sounds a lot like Super Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi have to save Princess Peach from Bowser who wants to marry her.

Another fun fact about Phanpy, itll shatter your bones if it hits you : )

Patrat is also the scout pokemon

Honestly this is the best early gen so good

Better interesting fact for delibird: delibird signature move is the present which most the time will explode thus making delibird a terrorist!

A different shade of blue. My guy that is purple.

The real obscure fact is that there are exactly 100 pokemon introduced in gen 2

Great video. Also the law requires me to say that at 2:50 gen 2 spinarak can be transferred from virtual console GSC

4:57 Porygon 2 was never in the anime at all

flaafy sadly didn’t appear in gen2 anime :( (minus the movie but i dont count that)

For reasons I don't fully understand, I love Shuckle. It's one of my favorite Pokemon despite the fact that I've almost never used one lol. Despite the fact that it's not very good, I also love Delibird lol. Thank you for another fun episode. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)

Pryce is the only Gym Leader in Gen 2 that uses a Gen 2 pokemon as their ace (excluding Gen 2 evolutions of Gen 1 pokemon). Because Gen 2 has such an overreliance on Gen 1 pokemon, it feels more like a DLC for Gen 1 than it does as its own game.

I wonder where Houndoom, Slugma, and Murkrow were during the events of Red Blue and Yellow (maybe a future Legends game can explain it)

Did he said that Cleffa looks nothing like a star? Scaribou is hilarious. I'll call Stantler that from now on Great video

A bonus fact is that you can learn a whole lot more Pokemon Trivia by subscribing to PaPaSea

It's so stupid that Lugia is a psychic type if any pokemon should of been psychic/flying besides the Natu line It's Noctowl

gen 2 is my favorite gen I like it

15:33 There a two options here: Either Pokémon Colosseum isn't a game or your claim that Entei and Raikou never appeared on a games' cover at all is false.

Some of these 'facts' are just painful to hear; Lantern's shiny sprites shown on screen are all purple or magenta...not blue. Jumpluff doesn't have a dex entry in the game's it's not in...who'd have thought?

Xatu has it's name from the Haida tribe and their name for the totem pole is xat. It was because of that logic that every english letter of the alphabet should have a pokemon name, and what else can you do with X?

Were really struggling on one for piloswine and magby huh? Lol

patrat is also a scout pokemon!

7:56 Quagsire is too pure to be affected by corruption

235 is only true if you consider gen 2. because i remember having exactly that situation a while ago. it was some pokemon on switch but not sure which game it was

HUGE fan of 1 fact

I thought it was a episode with shiny Magikarp in the Kanto series

babe wake up PaPaSea posted

How did I just now realize after all these years that Quilava’s name is actually “kwill-lah-vuh” not “kwall-liv-ee-ah” 😐

So, what was wrong with croconaw's name for the censors, i understand cofagrigus and such but not that

Ledyba is the Five Star pokémon, but in battle it's not even a 1 star Pokémon.

I cannot figure out why Croconaw was rejected from the GTS in Black and White. What am I missing here?

Cleffa is the Star Pokémon because it came FROM the stars, I’m assuming

Viewer: “Why do you keep spelling Flaaffy with an incomplete double-F?” 4Kids: “Our execs keep hounding us about our profits margins, meaning bigger budget cuts, so we _really_ couldn’t give two Fs.”

I wouldn't count mega heracross as Johto.

I would like to see something organic weighing half a kilogram, getting blown around by a breeze.

Why is Croconaw censored?

Poor Chikorita

Fineeeee I’ll replay johto

I think ariados has a face on its abdomen part which explains it’s quote

1:48 that’s just gold and silver, not HGSS!
