Tandemaus and Maushold may seem like basic Pokemon, but secretly, some DARK origins are involved in their design... at least theoretically. JOIN ME! As we discuss these 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 21, 44, 3040, new Pokemon! How do you evolve Tandemaus? What is Maushold based on? How many babies can mice have? Are Maushold Rat Kings? Are Tandemaus Lab Rats? Are Tandemaus dolls? Hopefully, we'll answer these questions.

Additional fun fact about Population Bomb: In Japanese, it's ネズミざん (nezumizan) which comes from ねずみ算 whose literal translation is something like "mouse math problem", but has taken on an idiomatic meaning of "proliferation" because mouse math problems are usually tied to exponential growth. Additionally, "nezumizan" could also be read from ねずみ斬 which means something like "mouse cut", which is why its animation looks like a cut and why it's apparently boosted by the Sharpness ability.

I have this comic drawn up somewhere called "Population Bomb" (don't go looking, I haven't posted it anywhere yet). The origin of it was this guy who got perfect stats on a Maushold and named it "NUKE", because the perfect stats + some held item made Population Bomb a move where it'll faint basically any Pokémon. So, Population Bomb can hit up to 10 times. Maushold can have up to 4 members. And supposedly the move works because all the "household members" attack the opponent. So, where do the other 6 go? And here we go. "Morgan, where's little Timmy?" "I don't know, Francine." *Earlier that day...* Morgan throws little Timmy at a Quaxly, dealing fatal damage at the cost of little Timmy

That they do have an evolution screen and also reproduce via eggs just makes this whole line all the more confusing/interesting, leaving open the possibility that the "family" is more like some kind of mitosis rather than normal reproduction. I do wonder too what in-universe justification there can be for pokemon scientists not knowing if the pokemon are a family or not, since we know other pokemon have had genetic testing done on them (heck its a story point in Scarlet/Violet). It's about as confusing as how they can claim no one knows what the rest of a Diglet's body looks like, as if no one has ever studied a unconscious or dead one in history.

@MunkyDrag0n Жыл бұрын

Maybe because they are not organic in the traditional sense. They may just be stuffed dolls with no DNA to test. Another possibility is the entire Pokemon is a hive mind rather than 3-4 independent life forms. Their DNA may indicate relationship, but if all entities think and act as one, then they are not family.

The first thing I thought of when I saw their name was the visual novel “Maus” which is about a son and his relationship with his father whom was subjected to the horrors of the holocaust and their sessions in which the father told him stories about his ordeals (it’s a good book you should read it, it’s incredibly nuanced with the relationship between father and son because it’s actually a real story or at least most of it probably is as the father is a bit of an unreliable narrator). Obviously that visual novel has nothing to do with the Pokémon but the Germanic maus really stood out to me

Something you might want to note in the video: "The Rat Queen" Magic card is a custom card, not a real one. (just had a minor panic attack that it actually existed and I'd just forgotten about it.)

If you are interested in the Rat King folklore, definitely check out the movie “The Amazing Maurice” which comes out next year, or the book that it’s based on. Especially the book. Please, read it now. It’s short and appeals to all ages despite being one of Terry Pratchett’s novels accessible for kids.

Hey Lockstin, I think Maushold may be partially based on the old theory of spontaneous generation. For most of human history, there has been the belief that mice and other creatures could spontaneously pop into existence directly from wheat. No “relations” necessary. Much like that Pokédex entry!

Love it! Also just found out that the Nutcracker was originally a German story, and I didn't know that the rat king in it was an actual "rat king", as in I always remembered it portrayed as a single giant rat. God I love learning about culture, and not trig. I hate pre cal and I hate exams. Anyway, can't wait to see which pokemon you're going to cover next!

I thought maushold / tandamaus was related to mitosis since they are mice that make copies of themselves but I do like the doll house angle of them as well

They could be related to mitosis, especially when you look at how their ears are designed.

That makes sense and all, but I like to imagine them being some form of hive mind, with each individual being more like a disembodied limb of the whole entity that is Tandemaus/Maushold, which would mean the tiny ones aren't really their children per say.

I was pretty far into the game when I saw a little white thing roaming around; I ran up to it, and discovered that this new mon had appeared quite randomly. I don't know why Tandemaus stuck out to me as the biggest surprise mon in the game, I guess that by the time I found it I thought I knew everything that was in Paldea…? Like, I didn't watch ANY trailers before playing the game, most of what I knew was from a friend who did and couldn't help telling me some things, and also some stuff from PokéTubers here and there, so a lot of the new mon weren't known to me beforehand, but for some reason Tandemaus shocked me like none of the others just by existing. I dunno. But hey, it's special to me, so a video on it makes me smile.

While there's nothing in the lore to support it, I like to imagine that Tandemous/Maushold are dolls that have come to life or are being puppeted by an unseen spirit, like a little kid playing house. Especially with the doll inspiration, I think it'd be really cute if their behaviors were somehow based in that game of play-pretend as well.

Thank you sub-text for explaining how they evolve without you seeing it. I've evolved mine in battle so I've been so confused why everyone else says the additional mice appear from nowhere.
