NEW MYTHICAL POKÉMON REVEALED! Zarude Origins and Lore Explained!

- čas přidán 26. 02. 2020
- A new mythical Pokemon named Zarude has just been revealed for Pokemon Sword and Shield in celebration of Pokemon Day. This mythical is a Dark/Grass type, and will also be featuring in the new Pokemon the Movie: Coco. After doing some research, I believe I have found the origin of this Pokemon's design, and even have a theory on its possible lore within the Galar Region!

#PokemonSwordShield #NewPokemon #Zarude - Hry
One thing I forgot to mention: both Zacian and Zamazenta have types that are strong against Zarude as a dark type (fairy and fighting), which strengthens the idea even more that they could have been needed to keep it in line in the past.
I think Zarude's name also comes from ZARU (japanese for ape -or monkey idk-), but that doesn't have much symbolism
It's a baboon
Just a detail... the vines on its arms look and act like chains...it seems to unravel when it comes out of the pokeball. Maybe the grass typing is a tying down this mythical....similarly to how the legendaries dont get their second typing till its wearing its armor. I could be wrong but it's an interesting detail.
In my opinion, "the rude green" makes no sense because the phrase should be literally translated in japanese, just like they did with Zacian and Zamazenta, so we should have "Za rude guriin".
It could more probably be a (lucky) union between Zaru and Verde, and with this part you said in the video I can agree, which being translated in japanese literally becomes "beRUDE", so Zaru (monkey) + berude = Zarude.
Or maybe a mix between all the things you said in the video and what i said here, who knows?
This is the best part about Pokémon, isn't it?
(Btw i just wanna discute not argue with anyone)
Wat about calyrex ? Do you think zarude is the current king of galar with both champions zamenta and zacian. And calyrex was the king before and his champions are the two forms (urshifu) i hope i spell it right. I think calyrex lost the war and left with urshifu. Like the pokedex says calyrex is delicate and zarude is rude. I think there was a war between them.
Mew: mew!
Celebi: bii!
Jirachi: chii!
Manaphy: phii!
Shaymin: mii!
Victini: tini!
Meloetta: tta!

I held in the most ugliest laugh
Zarude: Ooh ooh ooh ooh AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zarude is the main legendary of pokemon gun because he has fingers and thus can pull a trigger.
Dusk Breeze and also green!
Thats a long way to say "black person"
@@triggymctrigger2452 The edgelord has revealed himself
Caleb Black I’m black and found that funny.
Are we really still using this dumb joke? I think a battle axe makes more sense.
By the way Zarude's vines extend from its wrists, I think it's safe to say Zarude is going to be swinging from tree to tree like Spider Man.
@JESUS LOPO MOLINA I mean sword shield armor and crown are a thing so far. Legends based on weapons/gear?
Yeah it's chest has a Venom-like design.
What if it’s shiny is red and blue
Or it's Vines can hold a strong pokemon down, like chains. Kinda like Spider-Man
Or swinging around like Tarzan, and why Koko is basically pokemon's equivalent to Tarzan..
Clearly....it’s Miss Simian. Gumball and Darwin's teacher!
The protagonists have been skipping school for decades, and she has come for revenge
Maybe it’s her brother/sister
Oh my God you’re right
Copied from the reveal video
Baby Yoda Which I put there. 😆
HoopsandHipHop: “Zarude might be related to Zacian and Zamazenta.”
Me: “Idk about that. He might have the green but I don’t see a wea-“
Zarude: Pulls out *GUN*
Me: Ahh...
Pokemon gun legendary Pokemon?
A gun that shoots seeds as if they were bullets.
Alternatively a literal take on bullet seed
My initial thoughts where “hmm, kinda looks like a spider monkey with some vampire traits, if that’s a thing it’s probably an Aztec myth.”
Something like the monkey god hun batz
Definitely a spider monkey with some baboon thrown in for the snout.
Vampiric? Dio Brando Moment
@@stevesansone3020 You were expecting a reply, but it was me, Dio!
@@stevesansone3020 Zarude? More like *"ZA WARUDO!!!"*
Zarude is cool
Also it's got 'rude' in its name so maybe that's why it's a dark type
Names are based on type, not the other way around.
that is terrible reasoning
I got to say that also crossed my mind but then it was quickly disregarded
I thought it was based off the 90s techno singer
Reegan Leeder but it looks like weak unless it has high speed stats
Zarude - Leaf Storm
This makes me hope that someone remixes Darude - Sandstorm for this Pokémon.
That, and I wonder if people are gonna come up with variants of -arude for other types.
Zarude being rude
Centiscortch: How many times do we (along side Volcarona) have to teach you this lesson new man?
Zarude, za-rude, the rude.
Galarian gentleman: *gasp*I beg your pardon, sir!
Zarude, Za Warudo
@@The_Str4nger Zarude is also appearing in the new Pokemon movie with celebi. It can totally stop time
_Darude_
cheshire cat SANDSTORM!
"The Rude" makes totally sense! Great video
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "za-rood", since the name in Japanese is zaruudo.
It is. Although he made it work because verde in kana is ベールで (be ー ru dé). The ru is still in there. I personally don't think that's a part of its origin though. You're right. "Do" (ド) is used as the closed "d" sound for gaijin words, thus "za-rood."
reminds me of Miss Simian from Gumball
iirc Gumball's creators are from the UK, coincidence?
Yes... yes it is coincidence
i think not
*L U C Y ! ! !*
Stigma Kreis Horrizonne
I know what I’m nicknaming this thing.
JT Watts
I, Mojo Jojo, will... (proceeds to talk in circles)
Zamazenta, Zacian, Zarude
the Magenta, the Cian, the Rude
i firmly believe Zarude is the 3rd Wolf
A Werewolf to be Exact
Ruzifer he’s called the rouge monkey Pokemon so he’s actually a monkey
Now that you mention it, some baboons were mistaken for cynocephali (dog-headed people).
@@MrAuthor3DS And there we have it. That's why it looks so much like a booty-less baboon.
Also the Shug monkey is a combo between DOG and monkey.
Well, I mean, it's based off a monkey-dog thing so...
I feel like Zarude definitely has some connection with the grookey line. Like, 2 Grass type monkey pokemon in one region? That, along with the fact that it is fighting Rillaboom, and the mask that kind of looks like Thwackey's mask. Perhaps they are grookey that were shunned into the deep jungle and became extremely powerful?
If thats the case I really hope they also have inteleon and cinderace counterparts
Nacho Jar Studios Many people find Grookey’s line to be the most attractive. Intelleon is pretty ugly and Cinderace is bland looking. Rillaboom wins out. In the anime it looks like Ash will have a grookey, it’s because it looks the least offensive and Pokémon knows what’s favored more pretty fast. Why do you think Sceptile and Blaziken were featured more in the anime than Swampert? They’ve got more sleekness and cool attack styles than Swampert. That’s why Frenzy Plant and Blast Burn are used more than Hydro Cannon too. I don’t believe Grookey will get that much focus like the main comment said, but I’m just pointing out that it could because of its better standing.
Nacho Jar Studios same reason carbink was suddenly affiliated with a mythical
Nah
Lee McDonald A lot of people really like Sceptile, Serperior, and Decidueye because they have sleek looks and fast movements. Out of the bulky grass starters Venusaur wins because it’s a classic, it’s nostalgic but how ugly it looks makes me like it more, it’s also good competitively. In the Pokémon Adventures Manga the roles are switched, Red has Venusaur and Green has Charizard, Venusaur wins through a clever strategy. I think grass types are thought more highly of than you realize. So many people are now in Venusaur’s corner due to sympathy and gradually starting to genuinely like it, that’s how I started liking it.
Wasn't expecting a monkey looked more like a feline outline to me but still a cool pokemon. I had hoped it was something based on Celtic mythology. Hopefully they don't just mystery gift us it or that I want a side quest thing for the mythical pokemon again. Great video Hoops
KernowShinigamiViper Lil'Dragon you can see it’s in a cherish ball in the video so unfortunately it probably will be :(
I mean during the olden days rich english people used to have pet lions, elephants and monkeys and apes. maybe it's just a monkey pokemon brought from another region, and that's why it doesn't look look like it fits the "English" animal vibe
KernowShinigamiViper Lil'Dragon he looks like a lemur
to me it's face points more towards lemur
it's face points more towards lemur in my opinion
I bet it’s pronounced Za-Rude, since it’s a dark type.
Game is japanese, name is mostly untranslated, from Zarudo into Zarude, do yeah. Za-rude
MsTerkup nah dude. They put out an English video.
@@MsTerkup Actually it is ザルド which is Zarudo. So it most likely is The Rude.
Franckatana “ザワルド” Sorry I couldn’t help myself...
@@Franckatana Ah yeah, guess the pronunciation will be Zarude then
It looks so Badass lmao, we need more scary mons
"Spring-heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". One report claimed that, beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oilskin. Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect."
Design wise, I think Zarude kind of takes some influence from the British myth of Spring Heeled Jack, though the Shug Monkey makes a lot of sense too
Yo that’s low key very possible if you think about it but they changed it making it Spring Healed Jack and maybe a mix of the Shug Monkey in there wow that would be genius the way they mixed all that in there if make sense
Zeraora, Zamazenta, Zacian, Zarude.. am I missing something?
Zygarde
Zzzzzz.... pokemon sleep!
Kerrie Louise Da Silva ZAWARUDO!!!

Insert Zarude Sandstorm joke here.
Master Templar Shay I just scrolled down comment section and I was amazed by lack of sandstorm jokes. Glad I found one so I didn’t have to make it.
I typically don't like primate/monkey pokemon, but the moment I found out about Zarude and saw him for the first time, I instantly knew he was one of my new favorite Pokemon! His whole aesthetic and combination of grass/dark is a big pinch at my heart because I quite adore both those types, especially as a combination, but we have only had Shiftry and Cacturne. And even learning more about him I love this mythical even more, his craning vines are so cool.
MY theory: Zarude is actually called Zarudo in japanese.. Zaru + Rudo.. Zaru is derived from Saru (meaning monkey/ape) and Rudo like a negative Luchador...
Game Freak: Zarude
Me: Is that a JoJo reference?
Instructions unclear subbed to alpharad
Finally seeing Zerude made me so relieved because I was afraid at alot of the color ins of it and didnt want most of them to be it xD
I loved Zerude's design the second I saw it ^^
Darude Sandstorm? More like ZARUDE USED SANDSTORM!!!!
I'm not sorry lol
He actually used LEAFstorm. ...because he's grass type. Heh Ok, I'm done.
"Cambridge-shy-er" 😅
It's pronounced Cambridge-sheer.
Or cambridge-shurr if your from up'north
Vicky it slayed me when I heard this being from Cambs 🤣
Or cambridgesha
The new mythical Pokémon reminds me of Miss Simian from the amazing world of gumball. 😅😂😭
Remember when Zamazenta and Zacian were introduced in the forest, and they both looked up? Imagine it was Zarude they were expecting!
Hell yes!
Zarude exists
Bug pokemon: Its free real estate
Very convincing. Great video!
When I looked at it in the thumbnail I hated it so much.
One second later, seeing it moves around, I really liked it. I don't know, it doesn't have neck or chin in the static image. But it's 3D model is quite good
I think there’s one thing that I noticed about Zarude. Its face reminds me of the fabled Green Man, Who has leaves growing all over him and is prominent in, IIRC, Celtic mythology.
This one is more inspired by Springheel Jack.
"Spring-heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". One report claimed that, beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oilskin. Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect."
Also, I hope that Zarude ends up being some sort of "Dark Mirror" to Rillaboom and that it leads to "Dark Mirrors" of Cinderace and Inteleon.
Could be the ghillie dubh,.
Best coverage of Zarude, and even on *day one*! My respect for your effort.
Nice stuff thanks!
When I first saw it I thought that it looked like a gremlin
I've lived in Cambridgeshire my whole life so this video baffled and stunned me. Especially considering i've never heard this folklore. Love the video though.
Great video, brosky!
Once you use the word "rude" then there is litterally nothing connecting "verde" to the name. So it would just be "the rude" which just happens to be green.
I'm from Madagascar and this reminds me of a species of lemur: the Aye-Aye!!! Look it up you'll be surprised😂
Alex De la Loire nooo they’re way cuter than this pokemon
@@TheQjad135 I didn't say this pokémon is cuter or is as cute as them, I just said it reminds me of them!!
Why do u pronounce it as Za-rud-e? I definitely thought it was pronounced Za-rude
Same
It is.
It is Za-rude, not Za-ru-de. The japanese name is Zaru-do, which would equate to Za-rude in English. You are correct.
@@cmonster8929 Okie, thanks
Probably cause Za-ru-de definitely sounds more natural than Za-rude
I was expecting your video about it
Zarude's typing should have been part ground so we can make the joke "Zarude Sandstorm"
Zarude Leaf Storm
Do we have a yellow legendary coming for this game? Cause my thought was CYMK. Cyan, magenta, yellow, black.
mmuted that’s what I was thinking too. Maybe zeraora?
Yeah?
no joke this thing was legitimately my sleep paralysis demon seriously im not kidding
Then that means you saw Zarude first
It looks like a Gremlin
hey hoops and hiphop, i was watching some anime before i came across this video, suprisingly enough, a character in that anime was named "Verde" and the way other characters pronounce his name was "Verude"...
OMG I LOVE THE DESIGN :D))
Hopefully we get another legendary/ mythical that's related to Yellow to fit in with red blue yellow green or cyan magenta yellow black
When saying county names, you don’t pronounce ‘shire’ in the same sense as ‘The Shire’. It’s more like ‘sher’ or ‘shuh’
Sheer
Art attack 2 sheer
My first thought is that they completely redesigned & re-typed Incineroar. Upon looking at Incineroar next to Zarude, I feel like that's truly the case. The biggest differences are the feet, bulb removed from the tail, & face/mane.
The fact that gamefreak went to UK origins again was very creative. After seeing the cinematic trailer with zamenta and zacian again, i saw that they were getting ready to fight something that was coming. I always wondered what that trailer meant but now with this new mythical it fits with the trailer so well. This new mythical could fix the sword and shield lore as we know it
I heard a strory that a queen and king or some type royality had a exoctic monkey brought from somewhere far away but it became vicious and would attack people forget what happened to it but theres a video on youtube about it.
What is it called???
I wish i could remember but i dont it just appeared in my reccomended videos to watch on youtube it was like a year ago might have been some history channel or something.
@@arturcunha8393 Catherine of Aragon?
No they were english or something from england.
Zarude used Sandstorm
It was super effective
Underrated
The commercial in the beggening really brings back the Pokemon fever memories.
When your said Verde, I thought you might also mention El Chupacabra
Could it be based on a wendigo? Aldo for the name, in french, emerald is spelled émeraUDE🤔
"Spring-heeled Jack was described by people who claimed to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy, clawed hands, and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". One report claimed that, beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an oilskin. Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect."
The grass typing makes me feel “meh” about it.
I immediately loved it. It is almost exactly what I thought it would be, I just thought it would have more of a mandrill face.
Way better of a design than most Pokemon from gen 5 and up... XD
The way Zacian and Zamazenta turned around ready to fight something besides themselves in that cinematic when the leaves started blowing all around them was probably in reference to Zarude.
2:30 me when I crit a shiny.
no event to get him sadly. look at the ball she throws out at 1:11
But it says at the bottom game footage not final so they probably just used the first pokeball they could find the image of
There's still a strong chance for an event
She probably hacked it lol
@@kenanthomas295 i'm just pointing it out. it can still happen but please lower your expectations so you won't be dissapointed if it doesn't
I think one thing missed here if you go back and rewatch the trailer is the Pokéball. It seems that it is an event Pokéball (I guess?) meaning this Pokémon will be a given-only legendary not a type of Pokémon where you can catch in the wild or a special battle cut scene.
I might be wrong.
So when will we be able to get it? and how?
BTW "za" sounds like a French person saying, "the."
Here's my theory and reaction to this cool mythical:
Reaction: Wow tgis looks like Wolverine, also Apes... Together... Strong... Caesar or Koba vibes.
Theory: Might star in Entei and Unown movie reboot. Might have unique gimmick of changing form when using Sword and Shield item. Calyrex is King, Zacian & Zamazenta are Knights and this monkey is Knave??... Or maybe Armor or Crown form..
It's already starring in Pokemon the Movie: Coco
Cool :D shiny Celebi in it too
The strings quickly playing G# A G# A in the beginning of the video were amazing. Maybe it wasn’t those notes specifically, I don’t have perfect pitch but still, ooh that was fantastic (for reference; 0:07)
This was nice very nice
I wasn’t paying attention today and I thought the new Pokémon was called “Darude” and was offended when it didn’t look like it would learn Sandstorm.
Arrooooo! Werewolves of London!
That exactly whati though!
Springheel Jack
There's a forested area in the UK called Cannock Chase where weird things are said to happen, and it's supposed to have something similar to Bigfoot living there
dang u released this vid same day as the announcement? dang
I noticed seeing the scene where we get to see the legendary Pokémon for Galar at the end with them being surrounded in a spiral of leaves, you don’t think that they hinted Zarude way back when Sword and Shield were announced?
Seeing as Zarude is shown using Vine Whip in the trailer, either its not getting a signature move (which would be weird, because the last mythical that didn’t have a signature move was Phione, which was introduced years ago) or it’s signature move will be revealed later.
Im interested to see how it turns out. Its vines are supposed to have healing properties however its dark/grass type and physically it looks more like a fast hard hitter then a bulky mon which would be a horrible stat range for a self sustaining healer so unless its signature move is either a draining move or a stat buffing move with an additional healing over time effect I dont see it working.
Two things I was noticing. 1 being the fact in the trailer we see Zacian and Zamazenta going back to back to fight something that seems to be in the trees. Either one or maybe a group?
Another thing is it could be reletated to the Spring Heeled Jack. Which was a cryptid around London (I believe) and resembled a man that could jump with unnatural power and skill. So where it's a bit harder to draw a link to that it could be a inspiration design wise
You know with the new pokemon movie coming out having a jungle type environment and the celebi shrine being shown perhaps Zarude will have a role as the main antagonist in that film as a something that is hunting celebi
Next week he will come out with his newest techno track "zandztorm"
Maybe it uses the green leaf like things on its arms to make a armoured suit, like how zacian and zamazenta have different more powerful forms. In the trailer of the legendairys of Pokémon sword and sheild the two wolfs fight but then stop to face something in the forest.
9:00 You see it in a Cherish Ball, so you can assume that it'll be handed to us.
Could be inspired by spring heeled Jack, the legend of the monkey paw as well as one of the sherlock holmes stories.
Spring heel Jack was one of the things I thought when I saw it.
Can’t wait for it to come out so I can have 5 special Pokémon on my team
My theory is that Zarude is some sort of branch off from the rillaboom line, maybe caused by the energy from the darkest day, and we'll see two mythicals that are based off of "rogue" forms of the other starters.
Zarude looks like the perfect counter part or enemy for rillaboom.
I feel like if there were to be a story event for Zarude I feel like it would be in the Grimwood Tangle. The trailer does show it in there and it does seem like a fitting place for it to be in. Cause Zarude is a Dark/Grass type, the Grimwood Tangle is a dark forest, makes sense to me!
Is Kubfu the new legendary Pokémon coming on the DLC the only legendary that can evolve or this other legendary that can evolve?
Our 1st look at the legendary pokemon was them running in to each other in a woods or forest and then defending 1 another against something in the trees
**Plot Twist**
Zarude is actually Zacian’s and Zamazenta’s mixed race, half-brother from British India. Explains the tropical animal (monkey). Angry for being the rejected half-sibling of the family...
My guess is it will be in the slumbering weald. In that area there is a raised section with tall grass but no way to get to it, and in a tree there are 4 glowing eyes that made me wonder if it was a shrine. I hope that they let Hop play a part in finding the pokemon.
The footage isn’t final but it is not a good sign that it was in a cherish ball
Tbh it's eyes and ears remind me of an aye aye, just as daunting as one.
Isn't Calyrex the green Legendary of Galar and Kubfu/Urshifu the yellow? I mean look at the logos for the DLC
Wow I remember in your speculation video me thinking that it was gonna be an evil monkey, or like a wayward rillaboom. Kinda upset I didn’t say anything now
At the begin of the year I wanted a cool new dark-grass Pokémon, WOW
Just remembered Fiskerton from Secret Saturday. It is said it was base from a skunk monkey or Gorilla-cat and is considered to be a cryptid.
I like it. Reminds me if Rafiki was a dark shaman medicine baboon
Remember when Zacian and Zamazenta fought each other and then something disturbed their fight, we all thought it would be a leak for a new bird based legendary, but maybe it was just Zarude traveling from trees to trees like in the movie
A phooka is a Celtic trickster spirit what would really fit with the rough nature, though knowing Pokémon it’s probably a mix of both creatures
I thought zarude was an el chupacabra when I first saw it but your logic makes more sense
I believe that zarude is inspired by dinopithecus a prehistoric giant baboon that live during the pliocene to the pleistocene epoch in South Africa
and the one who discovered it was Robert Broom a scottish paleontologist in 1937 and he's was born in the uk 🇬🇧
