Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - Hry
U turn is based on a Japanese expression "dragonfly return" which means to return partway through a task. Hence bug type
Can confirm this
Sounds like me when I'm forced to go to a party.
This is cool, I never even heard of this before
Thank you for explaining
Oh god, imagine if the Pokemon using U-turn didn't have to come back halfway and got the full 140 BP out at 100% accuracy. *shudder*
@@strionic770 The attack would hit the target for 70 BP and then keep going to also hit the opposing trainer for 70 BP.
Ahh Leechlife,
the move that spent 6 generations of pokemon as one of the weakest moves in the game and the bane of spelunkers running into countless zubats. To be changed in the 7th generation to become one of the best Bug-type and life stealing moves in the game because the big Musclesquito from another dimension wanted to use it and be effective.
More moves need this treatment
Mainly because Struggle Bug took the place of weak bug moves
@@beckhampang191 It's pretty much the early game bug type move that most special attacking bug types get early on. Like ember or water gun.
It made X-Scissor completely irrelevant, so why not buff it by increasing its critical hit ratio? Many slashing moves have it and it would make it more viable than just Leech Life with no healing.
They could've easily just make another move like "Giga Leech" but no I guess quadrupling the power of an early game move would make more sense. 😆
First Impression reflects Golisopod's fighting habits. It's strikes hard to compensate for the fact it will yeet right out of the battle after taking 50% damage. This behavior is seen throughout the animal kingdom, where predators will not risk hurting themselves against something that wasn't immediately disabled from the opening blow.
I always thought First Impression is a move created based on Golisopod lore than what is observed from real-life insects, but that's still quite interesting.
Thats really interesting, I like that idea. Given golisopods cowardly and underhanded fighting style it makes total sense
@@pallukun Yeah, but seriously, isnt Attack Order, and also that one Ability of that One Alola Fish Pokemon TOTALLY CHEATING!?
C'mon, someone answer this comment! Tell me!

C'mon, someone answer this comment! Tell me!
One of the best survival tips for being attacked by a predator is to fight back. The big predators are at one of the most inefficient ends of the food chain so they don't want to waste energy killing something that's fighting back. They'll go for something else that's weak or young so they won't fight back as much
I assumed First Impression was that way because for most people, the first time they see a scary looking bug, they assume it's far more intimidating and scary than normal. Maybe the reason it gets a power boost is because of that?
That’s interesting.
Mega Beedrill is one scary bug to me, I hate bees and Pokémon that can one shot my health bar.
Well, it learns U-Turn.
I'm reminded of that one meme discussing the idea of cat-sized spiders existing and the pros/cons that might come with. hugelolcdn.com/i/399628.png
Hoopa unbound hard counters every bug mon
@@yabadabadoyabo7974 by dying right?
Good news! You'll bleed to death long before anaphylaxis kills you if stung by a bee the size of a golden retriever
4:30 Buizel learns Fury Cutter because it's a weasel, much like the Japanese mythical kamaitachi, a weasel-shaped wind spirit famous for surprise-attack slicing people with blades of sharp wind, which is also the inspiration (and Japanese name) for the move Razor Wind, which Buizel can also learn. The More You Know.
Guzma liked this video and shared it with Team Skull.
Nah. Guzma would be mad at Lockstin for making fun of Golisopod.
Yeah, but seriously, isnt Attack Order, and also that one Ability of that One Alola Fish Pokemon TOTALLY CHEATING!?
C'mon, someone answer this comment! Tell me!
@@slevinchannel7589 which fish?
@@modelomegatyler The small white fish that gathers 1000 of his species to fight as one big pokemon. Which i call cheating.
@@slevinchannel7589 wishiwashi?
About "protecting innocent eyes from sticky butt" stuff, if Spinarak uses Sludge Bomb in Stadium, Colosseum, or Battle (I forget the name of the Wii one), it flips onto its back and appears to fire diarrhea at the opponent.
Also, Leech Life's Japanese name is Suck Blood.
"You know what I like? Butterflies and Moths. Especially when you disregard Butterflies and only look at Moths. I like Moths!"
That's honestly just my favorite joke setup you've ever had in any video. The delivery was perfect.
Leafcutter ants feed fungi not bacteria.
This comment is not a critic, it's objective is to make things clear for the audience
I think the target can't flee during Infestation because flea, flee, it's a pun.
Alexandra Dordzhieva is flea a homonym in Japan though?
I thought its because theres so many of them you cant see and cant find your way away.
I see what chu did there!
(My main target for infestation is usually Red’s pikachu. So I just made a bad pun. You know it’s bad when you have to explain it.)
I think it's just a technicality with no real logic. Since Wrap, Fire Spin, Whirlpool, and so forth prevent returning, so must Infestation.
no. You're fogetting that the game is orignally Japanese. And there isn't any pun involving flea and infestation
You can only use 1 Pokémon in battle...
Vespiquen can summon multiple bees....
Wishiwashi alternate forms is made up of hundred other wishiwashi....
Isn't melmetal made up from multiple meltans?
Same with Magneton and Mettagross
@@alexandradordzhieva3835 true.
Also koffing if I remenber correctly.
Zygarde has something to say...
Eggxecute
You haven't explained why fury cutter increases in damage though...
Could be some kind of reference to how some animal's teeth are made to grow sharper when it's used more often.
I think it might be closer to how a bug flails when you're holding it. If it has a weaponized limb, like a mantis's, it'd smack you repeatedly until you let go and perhaps the momentum combined with already inflicted damage boosts the attack strength.
2:43 - 2:49
I love how you used Delphox as the recipient of Lunge when explaining the ATK stat decreasing effect, as if it needs it's ATK stat lowered any more. It's like the equivalent of saying Patrick Stewart needs a hair cut.
Nah the best contender for "most useless attack drop" is the Chansey line.
i assume first impression is based off how bugs fight
Bugs normally lunge at their opponent, and during the fight, usually never lunge again
I never even stopped to think about the illogical concept of what kind of bugs are swarming you in those swarming moves.
Funny how this video comes out the same day I get my Golisopod plushie...
I think the 'insects'might just be bug type pokemon that are actually bug sized so they're not important to learn about.
Well at least compared to the literal gods and dragons everywhere
@@Hello-rm2nj Genesect?
@@Hello-rm2nj Joltiks are still like small cat size right?
I mean like real life fly sized or smaller
Joltik is four inches long and shoots lightning, tho.
-What a beautiful Duwang.-
@Gabriel Mota no its a mouthflipp'n king nothing's California King bed sized Adventure reference. Joltik is a good boi, but he's also a thicc one.
Hand holding a hand holding a sandwich. What a beautiful duwang
Those pictures of insects are very graphic, I guess you can say they
DISTURB me
wait...
Favorite bug type?
My fav is Volcarona
A man of culture I see
But really though I love all Unova bugs
Unova has great bugs.
@@poopa854 true the whole venopeed line is great
Swadloon And Mega Beedrill Are Two Of My Fav Pokémon Of All Time
Yanmega. I love dragonflies
So interesting fact, 12:55 Ribombee has “Bomb” in its name due to Bee Flies being in the genus Bombyliidae.
Y’all are going to have to agree that unova had the best bug types as a whole. I mean, it was the one region where the new bugs were a realizable mono-type team.
Leavanny
Volcarona
Scolipede
Accelgor
Galvantular
Escavelier
Am I wrong?
@Adaline Harbert I hope your run goes well ☆☆☆
Mine telling me which part of the game you've reached?
Adaline Harbert if your whirlipede has speed boost, that’s your best bet. All the best
Crustle???
@@beckhampang191 nice of you to point out crustle. Crustle could replace Escavelier, it's just that the move sets of the bugs I'd chosen to mention are more optimal than that of crustle. Of course, it's all about your choice in the end.
string shot most likely be based on the velvet worm witch has a two gun barrel like structure near the front of its mouth that shoot a glue like substance that immobilizes prey
Thank you for some much needed bug knowledge!
Fun fact: Spider webs reach out and do the same to bees because of the bees' attractive static field that makes pollen stick so well.
@@clockworkkirlia7475 did you know that 90% of wasp species are parasitic
@@ethanharper8346 I knew some were, but not all! Thanks! Backing up the bees, did you know that, while western beehives are effortlessly destroyed by Japanese hornets, native bees have developed a way to encircle and contain those hornets? They do this by forming a sort of rice ball out of their bodies around the hornet, raising the internal temperature enough to bake the big wasp.
@@clockworkkirlia7475 yep
And there is also the spitting spider.
My favorite bug Pokemon is Kricketune because delelelelelele *_whoooooopp_*
I COULD HEAR IT
My sister wants a mega kricketune bc the cries of mega Pokémon are just echoed, so
DELELELELE WHOOPWHOOPWHOOOOOOP
1:37 rare footage of a cute spikey boi
its weird, i absolutely HATE bug in real life, but i like all (or most) bug types pokemon since they have some of the coolest designs
plus i love volcarona and joltik and such
I agree with you
What about Accelgor?
Also known as "The Edgy Fast Boi"
Farmed for a shiny larvesta for over a year on and off, got it recently and now have a level 100 shiny volcarona :D
Same. Though my favorite Bug types are Scyther and Scizor
For me is the other way around... kinda. I don't HATE bug pokemon, but non of them really stand out for me. And I absolutely LOVE arthropods.
Maybe Bug Pokemon aren’t actual bugs, but have the power over the reallife bugs!
They can also use the special abilities of the reallife bugs. They’re basically bug-gods.
12:24 I find it ironic that you used Misty with heart-eyes for this, seeing as she's terrified of bugs. 😆
She did get over her entomophobia at some point.
Me, listening to this video: This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made in a while
Me, watching this video: This is my least favorite video you’ve ever made
i want a generation with even more bug types than Unova.
That would be an Australia themed region
@@auroramoon_draws16 that is rather more poison.
Like, even the mamals there are poisonos(and or venomous, nerd)
I just want more dark types, im not edgy or anything, I just like the cunning feel the moves give off.
My only problem with Dark Types is that Im gay, but there's no rainbow type so might as well join the dark side.
@@mirandafields3070 there's fairy type tho
Probably gonna have to wait until an Australian region.
“Because *squish* “
-lockstin 2019
11:42 almost useless? Tell that to all the people who lost their fire Pokémon to my Vivillon.
I wish you didn't have to spam it every turn and it was not a signature move
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 the fact that it needs constant application is a bit annoying, but I like that it's a signature move because fewer people know about it.
@@edmg7 Thats true
"Tell that to all the people who lost their fire pokémon to my vivillon, all ZERO of them!"
@@rainbow_vader what, did you not see it?
12:15 out of any Pokémon character you could choose to say you love it, you chose misty? The one trainer who’s scared to death of bug types? 😂
It's called irony.
Watching your videos have got me addicted to Pokemon again. I'm out to get all Pokemon games in physical form New 3DS XL.
Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White/B2/W2, XY, OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire, Sun/Moon/US/UM... and these are only mainline games, you have a BIG collection of pokemon games
@@alessandrojr4804 what can he say, the man's a big gamer
Well you only need 1 of each generation.
That's a beautiful Joltik in the thumbnail.
Scorpole wait that’s a joltik 😂
bryan diaz varela this just made my day.
wait till you see how joltik moves as a walking pokemon
Everyone (including me when i was young) seems to interpret "Leech Life" as having to do with leeches the creature, but in fact Leech is a verb in this move, as in "drain life from another creature"
"Special Defence is *sanity.* "
That's really well observed. I never thought of it that way! =)
quarantine
this move drastically lowers your special defense TWICE
12:03 I think you mean Road Roller Da!
Fun Fact: In Pokemon Gaia, a rom hack of Pokemon Fire Red, cut is a bug move.
I know you meant bazillion, but @ 0:29 "They've all had like a Brazilian years or something".
😂
Yeah, I'm brazillian and didn't get that. LoL
I was very confused for a moment at the cicada part because the cicada sounds seemed to be coming from anywhere but the video. So yes, I could picture what the scene sounded like
" Makes sense, because *squish* "
--gnoggin 2019
wait till he says this again for the normal video
stomp bypasses accuracy checks, double damage, and guaranteed flinch if the opponent used minimize
*BECAUSE SQUISH!!!*
Bug Bite in real life: A small bump that's not even very noticeable.
Bug Bite in pokemon: Capable of Slaying mythical beasts
Me: *not paying attention to the video
Lockstin: Bugs are masters of *chemical warfare*
Me: I’m sorry what the pardon
I hear this via jontron excuse me WHAT
Thank you for all the close-ups of bugs, now I won't be able to sleep for at least a week.
Hey, here to remind you that a Dark-Type Gnoggin shirt would be cool
Have a good day
This :^)
@@oaknacht6176 i loved the idea of the Dragon and Fairy shirts, but not a fan of the types
@@alldayagain Those were badass for sure. Cant wait to see future designs if they continue to come out.
Finally, a Dark type Fan
Maybe when using infestation and attack/defense/heal order it's not that it summons REAL insects but rather summons the bug types spirit or bug magic to make little energy bugs, this theory also works with all of the bug max moves and more
Bugs IRL disgusting, nasty, and Creepy
Bugs in Pokemon Cute, cool, yes everytime
_Acraga coa_ and the poodle moth are two exceptions.
@@JamesDavy2009 we really could do with a Poodle Moth Pokemon... that'll be so hecking cute
If special defense is sanity, how does it protect you from a Flamethrower?
Because instead of taking it "like a man", you have the mental clarity to run away
Pretty sure that would count as evasion.
More so magical
8:43 I having a Osomatsu-san moment. Mingmingmingmingming!!
Bug type...
The type that is always better in animation over real life...
Elh Pudding except for when they’re depicted in One Punch man
Lockstin: *something about being skeeved out*
Myself, a Bio Nerd: OHMYGODTHEY'RESOCUTEISTHATABUGPARTYONATREEAAAAIIIIIIIII
Thanks for releasing this video. Pokemon master videos have really been bugging me
Ha Ha!
Am I the only one who likes the sound of cicadas?
Just like misty, I have a crippling fear of bugs
Except Sewaddle and Leavanny because they're too precious
4:29 Buizel uses its tails in Fury Cutter. It can spin them to hit the target over and over, hence why it can learn it.
leech in leech life is a verb, not a noun.
0:09 I kinda like bugs, but I also want them away from me (some more than others);
0:47 Coyoto Peterson: May I introduce you to the Executioner wasp?
1:20 Come on man, I already saw a video of a man who have two leeches as pets, and, naturally, let them suck his blood;
5:53 Should be "Demonic type", because Luciferins, haha;
9:40 Me too, hence my favorite Bug Type being Volcarona;
13:50 Then the cockroach flies and the fear starts again.
Thumbnail: Joltik hired a hit man. He's killing all her enemies as we speak.
Leeches are just Goth Worms
I kinda want “that was a pun” on a shirt or hat
i love the kokoro connect reference and how most animes just have that cicada sound like cmon, i've seen like a bunch of animes with the same god damn cicada sound. please stop ;-;
It's probably the sound their most common cicada species makes. There's only about 35 species in the cicada family in Japan apparently.
3:38 Fun fact, spitting spiders spray a silk/glue mix from their fangs, most pseudoscorpions can produce silk from their jaws, and some mites can produce silk from their pedipalps.
4:58 Actually what they use the leaves for is to grow a fungus.
2:11 Oh no Im in trouble, BETTER COMMIT A WAR CRIME
0:15 twerking bee
Yes, the BEST Type!
Ya boi guzma agrees
You spelled "okayest" wrong
Unus
@@ninjababy7273 Annus
Think of leech life as being less related to the animals known as leeches, and more related to the act of leeching. It is a move that literally leeches life. Something many bugs do to eat, such as assassin bugs and all arachnids
One of the many reasons I love Gen 5 is because Bug Type Pokemon actually got good in battle. Before then there was just Pinsir, Heracross, Foratress, and Scizor. The only good Bug Type move that was widely available was X-Scissor. But then got Bug/Electric, Bug/Fire, and a MYTHICAL Bug/Steel type that could learn, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Flash Cannon! Not to mention a signature move with 5 possible types, one of which being Water. And I don't even need to explain Quiver Dance. Volcarona and Genesect are tied for being my Favorite Bug Types and are probably some of the most powerful Pokemon ever! I'm so glad that I grew up with Black and White, not to mention that it BUGS the Genwunners so much.😁🦋
Man, looking at that leech footage really BUGS me out
Worst part is, there is a freaky leech fish. It's called a lamprey.
@@Chaos89P And there are two Pokémon versions of it: Eelektrik and Eelektross.
Ikr, as a kid I liked lampreys but right now they really unnerve me. Just like worms do.
I sense a good amount of puns.
Like 0:28 "brazilian" - rainforest = a lot of bugs
I was thinking Brazil when I heard that.
Not anymore....
Fun fact : in French, First Impressions is called Escarmouche, which basically means a small fight, but what's interesting is that it has "mouche" in it, which translates to "fly" in english, and you guessed it, a fly is indeed a bug.
3:00 for anyone who wants to see Lockstin trying to pronounce the plural form of proboscis (which is in fact probosces.)
I just got an email saying my Fairy Gnoggin shirt is on its way. SUCH EXCITEMENT! 😍
Why'd you have to show us a snail's lovedart? (Btw yes its actually called a love dart)
New bug type move:
Move: “Love Dart” (愛タップ)
Physical
Power: 75
Accuracy: 100%
PP: 10 (Max: 16)
“User passionately rushes at the opponent and deals a forceful jab with their stinger or horn.”
Will cause infatuation if the opponent is the opposite gender of the user.
Deals double damage if the user is infatuated.
Ignores the effect of infatuation.
Yeah that's not for attacking lol
GippyHappy
Snails literally fight each other when they mate; using their love darts to stab each other in whatever body part they can hit and successfully impregnate the opposing snail that they’re mating with.
The love dart, however, is not the where the “love juice” comes from. They do have a dong that interlocks with their mate’s to exchange baby goo. The love dart itself is to make sure the other snail actually gets impregnated as it can stop another feature that snails naturally have. Snails can kill the “essence” from other snail within their body if the love dart isn’t injected to stop it from happening.
Im pretty sure that wasnt a generic snail and its love-dart, but the very VERY venomous cone snail and its stinger. It lives under water and can even kill a human. The penis(es) of snails look differrent.
1:20 Me I do! I love that clip that and the one with the snail, it’s so cool.
One thing I use to discern bugs, it doesn’t mean insects. It just means any tiny creature with an unusual amount of legs (either too little o two many)
Jokes on you, I'm listening while doing something else. Not looking at all.
I'd argue that bug type pokemon moves aren't nearly as bonkers as what real bugs can do in a lot of cases. Running so fast all your perceptive senses shut down, for instance.
Edit: Also I suing you because you said "plant spunk" with your out loud voice.
I Love how Lockstin always goes insane explaining the bug type
8:23 this animation looked impressive until I realized it was a gray circle with a small bit of outline going around in a loop i love the little things like this
Infestation could be psychically controlled particulates like the ones in Silver Wind. The signal of a leader insect could control the particulates as if they WERE insects.
I'm pretty sure that the plural for "proboscis" is "probosces (pro-BOSS-keys)".
Fr, that First Impression reasoning is actually very relatable and makes sense. Idk if it was the inspiration for it or if it was something like how a bee's stinger can't be used more than once (bc it dies, but we don't mention that in our cherry orchard) or something else. There's probably some obscure reason. Love the video and have since gained more knowledge about bugs. I have met my requisite information intake this video, thank you for allowing this viewer bot to power down for the night.
I appreciate the detail in adding shadow to the tree in the cicada scene.
"Bugs are icky"
Well that's just mean. Bugs are cool, and cute.
As a dark type trainer, I find bug types a bit bothersome.
Dude dont be scared nature is beautiful and fascinating
>not bringing up tonbo-gaeri "Dragonfly Turn" for U-turn, the japanese term for a Chandelle.
“Furry cutter”
Verlisify intensifies
Bug bite v bite
Fury cutter v cut
Bug buzz v hyper voice
Megahorn v horn attack
???
I want answers, Pokemon
gotta get that sTaB bonus
Gotta improvise otherwise bug types will have no moves
Bug mouths are different from teeth.
Fury cutter doesn't summon a sword.
Bug Buzz is bug twerking, hyper voice is when you see a bug twerking.
Megahorn uses the head horn, horn attack uses horns?
3:46 I more so imagined the web like a black widows or turantulas, where instead of a careful blob of web strung together, its more like a big mess, with many different atrings attached to different levels, acting almost like one of those lazer traps, and so a pokemon has to avoid stepping in it, making it harder for the pokemon to move withh speed
7:36 legit the funniest thing you’ve said on this channel, at least in the past year
Bugs are ok, if they bite me I bite back. Plain and simple.
:^o
>:D
Not so Fun fact:
The footage of the snail shooting the spike iwnt shooting a spike, but shooting "love"
Beacous snails are both male and female meaning they have to fight for who is the male
"especially when you disregard butterflies and focus on the moths" had me laughing, I LOVE moths
Scizor and Beedrill are my favorite bugs. Plus Beedrill's anime cry is awesome.
Usually my first impression with a bug is “aw, cute small friend!” and then I will proceed to protect it from any nearby genocidal maniacs who think that killing bugs for literally no reason is okay.
snails aren't bugs
Now we know who the bug trainer is.
Americans can't understand science, they still think that the earth is flat afterall.
I hate real bugs with every fiber of my being, but the Bug Pokemon are the cutest things I have ever seen because they're intelligent, cute, and nowhere near as creepy.
10:59 The world is filled with a lot of *-powders-* powers of varying use and importance
