Are we going to ignore the fact lanturn would quite literally create a black hole because of just HOW MUCH light it emits?
Chinchou??
Fun fact, one of lanturns pokedex entries lists it as being able to produce light visible from the surface of the ocean at some absurd depth like a 3 miles or something. The amount of energy this requires is 10^35 times that available in the observable universe and would possibly result in a black hole many times the size of the current universe the instant it began to emit light. This is definitive proof that lanturn is the strongest Pokémon in existence and multiversal in power. Or maybe that the pokedex is written by a delusional 10 year old with no grasp of science or quantifiable phenomena. Could go either way, really
Given that Gardevoir can also just "create black holes" I think it's safe to say the Pokedex is on a whole nother level (of bs)
@@ShaddyFromHatena wait you don't just create black holes? must not have unlocked that ability yet
Not a single Pokemon game protag is 10, enough with calling them 10.
I really hate the "Pokedex was written by 10 year olds" thing because that hasn't been true in SO many generations and has absolutely been retconned. The modern pokedex simply gives you the information on pokemon you scan, and doesn't tell you about those you haven't scanned (other than their locations) for gameplay reasons.
Even in PLA it was the professor writing them, not the protag.
@@ArticfoxgamezMe too, just feels like a cop-out people say when they don't wanna think or suspend their disbelief of a fantasy world. (and also don't know that no main series protag is 10)
I don’t think you understand how badly I want to do obscure math with you
Holy shit is that TurnDownForWalt from hit Smash channel TurnDownForWalt?
this is the most fascinating comment ever. so much passion, so much fervor...! and the wording, it just sounds so.... _intimate._
forget marriage, one day ill find someone that i will want to "do obscure math" with.
I didn't know how much I needed this until reading this comment. Oh boy
ayoooo...?
realest comment ever
“Let’s talk about fire, the opposite of milk.”
That one got me too
Best line
I had to pause the video to laugh and find someone commenting about this before I could continue the video 😂😂
Truly, you learn something new every day.
hes onto something
You forgot to mention the luminosity of Lanturn where if it is actually visible from 3mi underwater like its Gold dex entry says it would have to be putting out more energy than the visible universe
thats becuse it has ghost light
This! Adef please look into Lanturn! It's insane!
Mama mia
Lanturn is an underappreciated mon and needs more love
As a lanturn fan this is an epic win

i think the shiny Fire types with a different color flame just produce extra chemicals that change the flame colors, cause i know that's a thing
Gnome fire lighters
Those chemicals would affect more than just the colour of the fire though they would also affect the temperature of the fire among other things, so I can understand why he wouldn't include that.
@@oMuStiiAnot by anywhere near enough to be an issue in most cases. Like, copper salts aren't going to be burning that much hotter than NaCL for example.
@@theapexsurvivor9538 I'm not saying it would be an issue for the pokemon it would just complicate things for an already complicated video. Why would shines produce these chemicals when non shines don't, for example? How/for what purpose would they produce the chemical in the first place? And so on and so forth.
@@oMuStiiA Presumably they'd be producing them for the same reasons they produce different pigments.
And I was just pointing out that they're probably not (significantly) different temperatures, so probably don't need to be accounted for or treated as a massive headache.
i literally completely forgot about the move for a few seconds so when i saw the thumbnail i thought this was going to be a video on which pokemon can learn to use Adobe Flash .
LMAO SAMEEE (except for the "for a few seconds" part, im not that into pokemon but i am into random technical videos i dont understand :p)
Also, the illuminate ability exists - so Staryu, Starmie, Chinchou, Lanturn, Volbeat, Watchog, Morelull and Shiinotic should be able to act as a torch
But not Illumise, for some reason, despite being based on a firefly. Apparently, they attract Volbeat using sent rather than light
it's not "despite being based on a firefly," it's _because_ it's based on a firefly. while most species are bioluminescent, there are some that aren't and rely on pheromones for the same purposes ala illumise. as far as i'm aware, there isn't a species that specifically has bioluminescent males and non-bioluminescent females, but it's also not an unbelievable setup and lets pokemon represent both strategies of a family that's more diverse than i imagine most people realize
Scent*
He didn’t even bother talking about the firefly Pokémon. Which is fair, I guess.
But Happini’s smile sure lights up the room!
Why do you think that is fair?
@@katzlover321 because he left out dozens of others that very obviously produce enough light to help in a cave as well. Not sure why heat was the only thing he considered anyway for his definitive list at the end when theres so many pokemon that have non-fire ways of being bright, but since he only cared about the fire types regardless its fair to also ignore illumise/volbeat since he's ignoring other very obvious ones like Xerneas and regieleki as well. Tbh the video shouldve been called something like "what pokemon are constantly using flash" anyways rather than just what pokemon have the ability to use it
7:22 - small correction: there is one type of object in the universe that does not reflect any radiation at all - these are black holes. Theoretically, they even emit Hawking radiation, so we can even talk about their temperature.
Would Cosmoem make a cave darker? 🤔
@@DrTako-wk7zj sad necrozma noises, no one remembers it and it was trying so hard to absorb all the light in the universe
The Wilhelm Wien fan base is dying. Show your support and like this comment if you’re a true Wiener
Meanwhile, over in mathematics, I have to reckon with the fact that one of the most important figures between it and the concept of cybernetics is named Norbert Weiner.
Wiener chaos explosion is a real Wikipedia article.
Sadly i do not live in Vienna, so i cannot like this comment.
Hey, Imma wiener!! -Luigi Mario
13:55 - Wouldn't the state of said magma be dependent on the pressure within Camerupt's vasculature? It could very well still be in a liquid state at high enough pressures.
now i need a video about how much pressure that is and how godlike Camerupt must be to contain it.
Fascinated by the implication that all of Camerupt's cells would be extremophiles... and that said cells could form functioning tissues, organs, organ systems, etc. under these conditions. (I'm not being sarcastic, I'd genuinely like someone to explore this in greater depth and also think it's hilarious.)
@@cookiesversuscream If this were the case, Camerupt's body would need to be made out of entirely different materials than our own bodies. Their proteins would long denature, probably even evaporate or carbonize in proximity to that kind of heat. Thus far, the substance with the highest melting point is halfnium carbonitride with a melting point of 4,400 C, not even half the temperature of the 9,982 C magma in Camerupt's body. One can only imagine that Pokemon has some insane materials science going on.
Honestly, the random walking in emerald and the static image of the OG Pokemon Snap made this video. Your math and explanation were flawless as always, but the background details are chefs kiss
Adef’s February calendar schedule (at start of vid):
Feb 1: First day of Feb
Feb 4: Get head shaved
Feb 6: Attend first bald man meeting
Feb 13: By second meeting, befriend leader of group, get his number.
Feb 14: Test leader (Todd) on Valentine’s Day, the day he will be most vulnerable. Ask him out to dinner on Friday.
Feb 16: Take Todd to booey dinner and uncover that he is not really bald and actually wears a bald cap to every meeting to make friends (loser)
Feb 20: Reveal truth about Todd to other group members at 3rd meeting and easily win special election to become the new leader
Feb 24: Flash video
Feb 27: Announce new $$ cover charge to attend meetings. Profit.
Feb 29: silly extra day (???) Feb only has 28 days (????) These calendar makers are losers, like Todd

Environmental science major here! I got super excited when you brought in Wien's Law and blackbody radiation, but I feel like you may have gotten ahead of yourself in conflating radiation peaks with luminosity. A tiny flame may emit light in the blue through infrared part of the EM spectrum, but that doesn't necessarily mean it casts off enough light to be useful in navigation, for example. You may have considered touching on the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which ties radiant emittance (if in the visible spectrum per Wien's Law, this radiated energy would be visible light) to temperature - once you've checked whether the light output would be visible, then you gotta also check whether it would be a useful amount of light. A super cool video nonetheless :)
You’d never get this kind of CZcams content 10 years ago
Another contender for learning Flash are Psychic types. Common moves like Reflect and Light Screen explicitly mention using light (and some moves like Photon Geyser but those are more niche), and the type in general has a very heavy "magic" theme. It's up for interpretation but it seems like lighting up a space would be easy for them.
As far as the actual learnsets go, quite a lot actually are on there. Alakazam line, Hypno, Mewtwo, Espeon, etc
I started watching with the Fly math equation video and have loved all of your work since, keep it up!
When you remember this whole physics class of a video was made to explain a glorified lantern
Adef, it is genuinely so amusing how relevant this is to a class I'm taking right now. I am in an astronomy class, and I knew you were gonna talk about Wien's law before the words left your mouth. I do love your explanation of photon emission by the way.
No joke, despite being a former biochemistry major, this video's explanation of a blackbody is hands down the best one I've ever heard and what made it actually click for me.
EDIT: And the quantum mechanics comment did convince me to subscribe, so I guess that worked on at least one person lol
14:00 Not if it is highly highly pressurized.
we've gotta get out the triple point charts for Magma of different compositions
Most fire is based on the burning of hydrogen, I'm not sure how it interacts with black-body radiation. However, in short, you can have blue-colored fire or fire emitting light-colored blue that is only as hot as around 2000 K. You don't need ridiculously high temperatures to generate light. Causing a chemical reaction (burning something) also generates light.
can you do Mathematically Proving which Pokémon Should Learn strength
doesnt flash have a security issue?
That's why it was discontinued and stopped being supported by everything. R.I.P. Flash games.
You've got a knack for humorous educational videos... can't wait for more!
I'm surprised the opening gag didn't reference Adobe Flash
Wait, does that mean some tycoon can capture a bunch of Magcargo to power power plant steam? Would like to know which pokemon violate conservation of energy.
So glad this channel came up in my recommended a month ago.
10:35 A lit match is about 2000 F and you are telling me that Panzer produces a flame that is 4 times colder than a freaking match! I guess it's possible but you have to be burning some weird ass fuel to make a flame that cold
you look like one of those cool TAs that grade things really generously
Of all this video I've watched, I gotta say .. I love how I've unironically played Emerald and realized you couldn't teach Flash to, oddly of all my pokemon in my party, one of them being magcargo.. and then in the same day get this video recommended to me.
How does CZcams read my mind like that..
Bro everytime he releases a video i always end up watching it as soon as possible. Omw to work right now and popped an earbud in just to watch 😅
I think Clawlitzer can also produce sonoluminescence as using compressed water it can "punch a hole right through a thick sheet of iron" so it's fair to assume that it works kinda like a snapping shrimp, hence it could use flash as long as it's underwater
Can’t wait for more math lessons my guy
This is one of my favorite series on all of youtube. Love your videos so much
forget seeing light in a cave with a marcargo, the cave itself would be radiating light with that thing nearby, and like maybe not even exsist as it reaches temperatures of the sun
Me watching the silly Pokémon meme video to actually get educated on science and learning a whole bunch of things.
Thanks for the hard work, I love these
This was so funny adef, I love all the bits u do in these videos. Also loved the gameplay footage in the background, was very thematic
theres an episode in xy where pikachu, luxray, and dedenne sustain electric charge for a very long time in order to power the pokecenter when the fuse blew. They have the power to do so but it does take a toll on their bodies.
a flash video? youtube has been running on HTML for half an eternity by now
Electric types that can make 480W of sustained power could literally just hold 2 pieces of carbon and make a Carbon arc lamp. I imagine that that might account for some small amount more pokemon than already calculated.
480W is kind of a lot. A constant power output of that much would mean almost 10,000kcal per day, meaning that's how much the creature would need to eat to sustain its electricity production, not counting its other life functions. Not impossible but it would be an expensive pet to maintain!
I love the amount of work you put into these videos, as well as how characmatic you are, youre quirky perosnality is so fun and wntertaining, keep up the great work!
?? We're just trying to light a cave not level a city
So, probably lean more towards that 100 or more answer, not the 5 who happen to literally be walking nukes.
"That one is a crime" guy is illustrating Wien's Law :).
At about 14:30 you mention you can just use Wien's law to tell the temperature of fire but that's usually not true as there are plenty of examples where a chemical burns a strong color due to its oxidation states. Like burning Borax to get green fire. Fire is about as far away from a blackbody as possible since the light itself is produced in a chemical reaction. (Fire becomes more like a black body when there are a lot of impurities such as soot that glow red hot)
I noticed this as well. There are several glaring errors in the video besides that one (e.g. implying that a creature with body temperature of 5000C would be as bright as the sun which is nonsense like anyone that has seen a lighting bolt (30,000C temperature) knows). The conclusion is very strange as well - why do only the pokemons with extreme body temperature count but not the ones producing light through fire, electricity or bioluminence? I did not like it
The team who writes the Pokédex entries every gen must have had some wild dreams while they were in physics class.
Did you know that *humans* can technically learn the move flash? They’ll just be hit with a debuff called “indecent exposure”
This video is the perfect combination of comedy, learning, and Pokémon
When you realize a 10 year old is writing the Pokédex, it makes a lot more sense
Can’t wait for the video “Calculating Spinda variations and how long to catch them”
The flame's color doesn't just indicate temperature. The chemicals being burned affect the flame color as well.
- Part 3: Luigi - certainly read that pretty wrong the first time
Was hoping this video would be about the third type of "flash" 😔
(great video as always though adef)
🤔
me: *sees video about flash* oh boy i hope he talks about black body radiation!
can't wait for the just as scientifically intense follow-up: What Pokémon can snap a twig?
man, i'm loving these videos, hope you keep up with the quality and frequency
I would argue that any pokemon that can learn flamethrower should be able to learn flash. reasons being: instead of them throwing the flames, they could just flare up their mouths, like the dragons do when hiccup meets his mother in how to train your dragon 2, and become a living torch. I think it makes sense.
I was laughing so much watching this video! Incredible video! Not going to lie, you got me to click instantly implying my fav pokemon, which is a literal light for a lighthouse in Johto, could not learn flash with the thumbnail
6:39 HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS WEARING BLUE
15:30 most people don’t talk about it, but shiny Pokémon can be weird with what changes. Like, you have Pokémon like Dragapult and Mantine (in its home sprite only) being accompanied by another shiny Pokémon, you have Pokémon like Koffing where the gas it produces is a different colour as if it’s a different gas, Pokémon like Applin where the apple is a different colour when it’s not a part of its body, while Pokémon like Polteagiest have you give an item to them that somehow changes colour from its bag sprite, and Pokémon like Genesect and Iron Thorns where it seemingly was made to be a different colour while creating it since it’s artificial
Rocking that men I trust shirt. Legend
These videos are awesome dude. Subbed
For a visual reference those stock videos of the boiling lava would be ~1000 C or so
great work again adef! rewound at least 5 different jokes just to take them in again. humor is on point alongside the ever-present knowledge. the work is appreciated!
As far as shimy emboar is concerned, something I would like to note is that flames can also be coloured by impurities in the reaction, such as lithium chloride producing pink fires or copper sulfate making turquoise. Given shinyness doesnt change the stats of a pokemon, it is likely chemical changes in the flame rather than heat.
Was trying to sleep with autoplay and thought RayWilliamJohnson invaded my dreams
These videos are always so good. Keep it up man you'll blow up
This has quickly become my favorite series on CZcams.
you correcting my pronunciation of Wein's Law has me crying lol
Come for the weird pokemon facts, stay for the physics lessons. I love this weird-ass video so much. Was not expecting this, and it's great.
Lantern and Chinchou literally have light on their heads. Checkmate.
Great video dude. It's nostalgic seeing these videos for earlier gen pokemeon games
Up next: Mathematically proving why Rattata can learn both Thunder AND Blizzard
We use disks to teach pokemon how to blind their opponents. I would argue that the pokeball technology contains some software that allows the pokeball to be used like a torch if the pokemon it contains knows the disc move flash.
Unlike surf and fly we dont see the living torch moving around when it uses the move. Therefore I believe that using the same methodology as for those two fieldmoves is not reccomended.
Amazing vids keep up the great work, although i am a little upset you didnt mention my boy Umbreon
“The man with the most insane name of all time” Dick van Dyke would like to talk.
Really enjoying this type of nerdy content ^^
Thought this video was about which Pokémon could learn Adobe Flash, while not the content I hoped for still entertaining and highly informative!
trick me into learning science by luring me into your science van with your pokémon candy
Just thinking about how high camerupts blood pressure must be in order to keep 18k temp blood a liquid.
Nice band tee. I appreciate that one fully 🎉
Really fun video, excited for the next one!
the humour in this video goes a long way in distracting me from the extent to which i have removed both math and physics from my brain since high school
RE: Camerupt. I'm almost certain that there's a pressure under which 18,000 degree magma remains a liquid, meaning Camerupt is essentially an explosive balloon.
I hope there isn't a revolt at this Tuesday's Bald Man Meeting.
At 14:23 you just casually tossed off one of the funniest jokes I've heard in a CZcams video. I'm eternally grateful you have graced us with your presence on our internet
Your jokes are so well-delivered, immediate sub
Great video man!!! What’s next, Cut???
If they can wear pants they can learn flash
Alternatively, Chandelure's shiny is not as hot, as its flame becomes orange.
Your content is so good because you have such an amazing attention to detail and a brilliant mind. This was a gem to watch. Thanks for being a hot nerd Adef.
its actually crazy that I watched this video last night and then this morning in class we start a new subject and we're learning about black body radiation and im just sitting here like
wow, pokemon taught me this before my modern physics class
The only problem with pure color temperature analysis is that flame additives can also impact the color, so it's not all from thermal radiation. Shiny Emboar could just be providing a consistent amount of copper(I) chloride to its flames.
i hope the next video is about the absurd statistics of catching x number of shiny spindas with the same pattern in a row
this channel is so fucking good man
Now do one on which pokémon should be able to use Cut. I'll wait
(yeah I can't get over the fact that farfetch'd learns to cut with a fckn celery for cutlass)
this man is doing gods work
i just want to mention that the visuals on this video go absolutely crazy (positive)
Flash is a skill that needs to be taught and not just a passive ability resulting from the heat of the body, and there are a lot of pokemon species that can sustain the required energy output to serve as a torch for reasonable time if taught that skill. Most electric types can use Thunder multiple times and Thunderbolt many times between resting, they can easily serve as an arc flashlight for an hour.
