Something something fair use something something - Hry
8:26 Dark was also special . Ghost was the one which was physical, I think u got them mixed up. :P
I thought the same. The rule I heard to remember it was "All eeveelution types + dragon were special" 👍👍
Yep. That's why Sneasel was so terrible.
Yes
Ironically though, all dark moves prior to gen 4 were made physical after the split.
Which makes absolutely no sense by the way
I'm pretty sure before the physical/special split, dark type moves were all special moves. All the Eeveelutions are special types, and Umbreon is a dark type
Yes all dark type moves were special
Yeah its nice to see other people also noticed that
Figures an Eeveelution would know that XP
Now that you mentioned all of the Eeveelution being based around Special types, I am surprised we still haven't gotten a dragon type one yet since Dragon was also special. I think that's because Gamefreak would think it would be complicated but still
Not only were they Special but once the split happened *all* of the existing moves became physical.
It also makes Bite the only move that changed damage type twice
Bug Dragon is honestly one of those Type dualities that you mistakenly remember already exists.
I was hoping for a Mega Yamega that got that dual typing. Or Mega Flygon.
Same goes for rock/ghost
@@dooom1234 Golurk, Runerigus, Houndstone, the possibilities were all there. Why is Houndstone still pure ghost when it has Sand Rush ability and a tombstone on his head
flapple. nuff said
@@AznYunHou sand and clay are considered ground type in pokemon, while stones and gems are considered rock type,
The reason that fairy is weak against steal is because it was generally believed back in medieval Europe that fairies hated anything made of iron (iron being the primary component of steel). I don't know why that was considered the case but it's an interesting little piece of lore that comes up every now and again in even the modern age.
I always thought the poison and steel weaknesses was industrialization destroying the cuteness and magic of nature
Honestly, we think both are probably correct interpretations in terms of the reasoning.
The lack of Rock/Ghost annoys me way more than the lack of Bug/Dragon. Mostly because there are several Pokemon that should have been that type.
Galarian Corsola, A regional variant of a Rock type representing bleached coral, which is essentially a chunk of limestone: pure Ghost
Houndstone, Based on a headstone, the most obvious direction to take a Rock/Ghost type, and literally has Stone in the name: pure Ghost
Runerigus, straight up a slab of rock possessed by a spirit: Ghost freaking Ground!
In Runerigus' defense, G. Yamask's Dex entry says it comes from a *clay* tablet. But the others have no other type to excuse themselves.
Spiritomb is literally a bunch of spirits possessing a rock
@@sakurabiskuit
To be fair, the Odd Keystone is more of a device meant to seal the spirits away than something Spiritomb is actually a part of. That, and I feel like the whole Malevolent Spirit thing is kinda predisposed to being Dark type.
Sableye on the other hand...
Houndstone even has Sand Rush.
G.Corsala
Ruinrigus
Houndstone
Stakataka
For 12:45 while I agree the poison is due to the more general nature themes, steel plays specifically on one of the most notable mythological weaknesses of fairies - a vulnerability to 'cold iron'.
I was gonna mention that but thx for also sharing knowledge
+
I always remember the weaknesses of fairy this way: 2 ways of harming someone in a fairy tale, with a sword (steel) or by poison (like snow white and many others princesses)
@@stefomarch95 Yeah! The way it sticks in my mind is steel from the cold iron thing and poison because of Tinkerbell lol
If you have ever seen the Leprechaun movies, they say Leprechauns (evil fairies) can be killed by wrought iron and are powerless when encased in iron
For the 9th fact, you forgot about "dragon, dragon and dragon" which is like the best type triangle
ghost ghost ghost
Dragon/Ghost doesn't resist each other though
Fighting, Fairy, and Steel
@@abdimajidabdisalam2060 Fighting doesn't resist Steel
@@leafshavingtool9185 I Know. But I like this triangle
The series also helped to make the Gengar bit a whole lot more confusing.
Imagine being an 8 year old. Your favorite series just told you "Gengar > Psychic Gym".
So you take a Gengar to fight some Psychic Mons.
Then it gets 1 shot.
The anime and the pokedex are guilty of so much misinformation vs actual game mechanics.
Although he did clear up why i still keep mistaking ghost as weak to psychic, the only kanto ghosts were part poison type and in Johto and Hoenn the ghost type just isn't that common or noteworthy. (And you would probably deal with it with your dark type anyway)
@@jasonreed7522 Honestly you can't even bring the pokedex into anything involving mechanics or canon.
If the pokedex is taken at face value. I don't even want to talk about Gengar.
I want to talk about why the humans, plant life, other pokemon, buildings, literally everything.
Is capable of withstanding temperatures that are 8000f greater than that of the sun.
@@iBeSupicious forget about a giant lava snail. I’m more concerned about dragon grandpas committing arson to naughty children
@@daforkgaming3320 Or the fat-shaming, child stealing, haunted balloons.
thats something i still have to remind myself of to this day, and i know a lot of other people who have to remind themselves too. since the gengar line was the only ghost type actively used in both kanto and johto (basically nobody in jihto uses misdreavus, ecruteak gym uses all gengar line iirc) and that line is weak to psychic, it led to a lot of people assuming ghost is weak to psychic.
Fun fact: Dragon/Fairy is the only type combination to have been /lost/. It was only ever used for Mega Altaria, but with the removal of Mega Evolution as a mechanic, there are currently no Dragon/Fairy pokemon. Which is a shame, because it's a combo that could lead to some really interesting designs.
(Technically there are other unique type combos not currently in SV, but they're all either 1) regular pokemon who'll probably reappear down the line, or 2) regional forms, so still part of a mechanic that's pretty clearly sticking around for now. There's also a Pokestar studios enemy who I'm not counting because that's not a /pokemon/.)
Still a bit disappointed that Dunsparce didn’t evolve into a Dragon/Fairy. Or at least Dragon/Psychic or something along those lines.
@@jordyn.24 A simple Dunsparce with fairy wings (and maybe some smalle extra bits) would've been a much better evolution than... whatever we got instead.
Oh and it would be Normal/Fairy, not Dragon/Fairy. Dunsparce doesn't need to be a dragon (though it _could_ be).
Here's a little known one. In generation 1 Fire did not resist Ice like it does now. Ice was neutral to Fire so Fire/Flying-types like Charizard and Molres were weak to Ice.
Oh i didnt know that thats neat thx
Except dual types do not exist in gen 1, both moltres and charizard are pure fire in original gen 1. In firered and leafgreen they are neutral against fire/flying since flying is a weakness and fire resists ice, so it’s neutral.
@@wysteriousmimic1402 Dual-types did exist in Gen I. The GameBoy games incorrectly displayed super/not very effective text when a dual-type was hit by a move that one of its types resisted and the other was weak to, that might be what you are thinking of. But the damage was still calculated correctly and the Pokemon were definitely dual-type.
I knew I remembered ice being strong against fire lol
Why does this have likes this is just not true at all@@wysteriousmimic1402
Fighting, Fairy, and Steel is another almost perfect triangle I like
fighting doesn't resist steel so it's not quite perfect :(
@@lovelaxo Yep! That's why I said almost perfect :)
grass, poison ground
lucario, but he’s a wizard now
Fire, ice and ground. Almost there
I always found the move Freeze-Dry to be interesting. An Ice-Type move that's super effective against Water-Types? Neat.
And it makes sense, considering what freeze-drying does in real life.
We should have the move “Acid” be reworked to a 70bp move that hits steels super effectively.
The question is why ALL ice moves aren't strong against water.
@@Fungo4 Freezing water just turns it into more ice without damaging it.
@@wikiuser92 A frozen fish that can't move is definitely screwed in battle.
I don’t care if bug types suck, they have some good designs
Heracross is good
Escavalier lookin baller, but for a more subdued design Pinsir is a winner for me.
Volcarona is a pseudo legendary type design
Of course Scizor, excadrill, golisopod. Bug type also have great moves like the iconic U-turn. Bug buzz can hit through substitutes, Leech Life, First Impression. Tail Glow and Quiver Dance are one of the best setup moves to ever exist.The sticky web is also powerful.
Correction: All Dark Moves used to be special not physical
He might have meat ghost
yeah, there's even an easy way to tell the difference, ironically it didn't make total sense till gen 4 but, basically if the type was dragon, or a type that eevee evolved into, it was special
Really? Dark doesn't feel at all like a special type. Even looking at the moves 10 are special and 33 physical, First special dark move was in gen IV when there were already 14 Physical dark moves
@@magnusnord8353 Well it was haven’t U played GSS or RSE
@Magnus Nord I don't get it either but it was in fact special.
My guess for bug being strong against dark is that bugs have a lot of religious and spiritual and just cultural significance in Japan and a lot of Asia, actually. So since the dark type includes a lot of “evil” or “shady and underhanded” sorts of Pokémon, it probably ties into bugs warding off evil and being good luck and such.
Heroes in Japan used bug-themed costumes back when Gen 2 was released, that's why it is super effective
@@-YaRR- Bug beating dark is literally just a Kamen Rider reference
Well that's a good theory...........I was used to think that bugs are strong against dark is because bugs can see in dark also and moreover bugs aren't even weak in dark places whether they can be in their full potential while being in dark places😅
Well in konw that it is so lame........but that was my theory on this type matchup 😅🤣
@@Sankalp-kt9uz this one doesn't make sense. the dark type isn't actually themed around the concept of darkness, as in japan the type is actually translated to the "evil" type, so the type effectivenesses have nothing to do with the actual idea of "darkness"
@@bynosaurus4024 ya that's why I wrote that my theory was preety lame😅🤣............
8:25 Dark moves were all special, but fun fact every damaging move actually switched to physical in gen 4, this is the only type to switch all of its moves like this, similarly all Fighting type moves stayed physical and all Psychic type moves stayed special :)
It also explained why Dark Pulse became a move in Gen 4; and it ironically has the same BP and PP as Crunch.
i'm assuming this isn't counting the moves added in gen 4 like aura sphere, dark pulse, psycho cut but the ones in the game alrdy?
yeah sorry thats what I meant, all existing moves prior to gen 4
I love how Bite went from physical to special to back to physical.
Also, the stats weren't the biggest deal in gen 2 outside of pvp. I know I'm not alone in taking a Biting Croconaw to Morty's gym. Got work done.
Zen Headbutt already existed in Gen 3, so not all psychic moves remained special in gen 4
In old folklore, Fairies were burned by iron. Maleficent actually (surprisingly) portrays this correctly.
I’m surprised dragon was the winner for special attack, but then I remembered legendaries exist and not only are there many dragon legendaries, most of them have very high special attack stats.
One of my favourite is that in Gen 2s beta, the original plan was for Normal to be super effective against Dark!
In this way normal would've been kind of a fairy substitute, while in the end the opposite happened. Seeing how the fairy type turned out in competitive, I would have preferred the former solution.
@@alpolacci being a weakness to the dark type is one of the least important reasons to add the fairy type, countering dragons and improving the ofensive of steel and poison was probably much more important.
I would like for Psychic to be SE against Normal, Normal SE against Dark, Poison SE against Bug, Bug SE on Fairy, Fairy NVE on Bug, Fire SE on Fairy, Poison SE on Water, Water NVE on Ice, Fairy NVE on Grass, Steel SE on Grass, Electric SE on Steel
@@bluegum6438 man grass already has enough weaknesses stop bullying it xD
@@Qwertymann0 I gave it a resistance to Fairy and a weakness to Steel, it's a decent defensive type but I think it would be better if it was strong against another common attacking type and in exchange weak to a relatively uncommon type
It would make Poison/Grass excellent against Fairies
For number 18, I always thought Bug>Dark made sense for 2 reasons:
1: Bugs uses their antennas to sense their surroundings so many bugs that work in the dark who are nocturnal made a lot of sense to me.
2: Dark type is considered "Evil type" in Japan. Let's say a person comes across an ant hill or a bee's nest and tries to destroy their home following them succeeding it. What happens? Well...the bugs retaliate and attack the person they rightfully view as an enemy.
Those 2 reasons made my belief that Bug types being stronger than Dark made a lot more sense to me.
It could also be a Kamen rider reference
13:03 I actually have an interesting theory for this one cause, if you look at the type matchups for steel, it has 3 weaknesses, and 4 types damage it normally, *everything* else is resisted by it. This makes me think that not only were the types it was weak to taken into account, but also the types that damage it normally. Water erodes steel, ghost just straight up fly through it, and electric travels through it. None of these matchups actually deal damage to steel itself but it is able to bypass it's defensive capabilities. It's a pretty interesting typing all together!
Although for those of you wondering about dark type this one could actually be several reasons. One is that dark is more, special based or taken more literally, like darkness seeps through or something like that. One thing I like to think of it though is that while steel types do everything to maximize their defense, dark types (the most commonly seen evil types) play dirty and attack the blind spots of whatever steel type they're attacking. Like a steel coated knight having blind spots in their armor that you could exploit, or like bringing a screwdriver to a robot fight. I don't know if this is the actual reason but if it is it's pretty cool.
@@permberd4185 Dark and Ghost dealt half damage to Steel up until Gen 6. It was just for balance reasons with the introduction of Fairy that it was changed.
@@RabblesTheBinx yeah, it probably was just for balance reasons. Still though, it's kinda nice that the changes still make sense contextually.
@@permberd4185The reason for steel not being weak against electric is due to its property of conductor as the electric current (AC not so.sure about dc) flows only through the surface of conductor not through it so Pokemon can't really feel the current whereas water is an ionic conductor , electric current travels through the water in form of ions so basically the current is flowing the Pokemon and that's really damaging
@@j.d.714 steel being immune to steel would actually be pretty dang interesting.
To add to the tcg type differences. Dark in the VG is considered Darkness in the TCG.
Also fairy was removed from the game to help with blanace. Being a TCG having more types makes it more difficult to add support and counters to each one of those types. Being that rotation is a thing and only a certain amount of cards are released every 2-4 months. It makes doing this difficult.
fighting, flying and rock Is a perfect circle. if your OK with repeating the core 3 then grass, poison and ground also works well; maybe that's what Poipoles trio is 😉.
Now I wanna see someone design an Ultra Beast region. There's tons of creative potential that the Ultra Beasts offer due to having totally different design conventions.
Fairy fighting and steel work too
@@LandOfTheEnigma it almost works...fighting isn't resistant to steel 🤷♂️
@@niceguy66alain oh what? That's stupid
Poison/Dark works great, we've had a couple now. Poison and ground not so much. Poison types are weak against ground types, and ground types don't resist other ground types.
For 4, it's actually immune to 8 types, as you forgot to list Fighting, which Ghost is also immune to
When it comes to perfect type triangles, there's also Grass, Poison, Ground, but it still reuses one type.
For 19: Normal does have the strongest move, but its technically not Explosion. Spit Up goes to 300 BP after 3 Stockpile
If we're counting moves that are only strong under certain conditions, it's actually ghost the new Last Respects upon fainting 100 pokemon (not obtainable in competitive, with revives) and capping at 5,050 base power, but 6 stacked Rage Fist not counting revives hits 350 if we aren't counting non competitive formats
@@plazmurr You don't need revives to reach the 5050 bp on Last Respects, since Rabsca gets Skill Swap meaning if it gets the Harvest ability + Leppa Berry it can infinitely revive. Without the infinite Leppa Berries, you can still get more than 4 Revival Blessings, through Sleep Talk
@@plazmurr Oh yeah Last Respects is a thing, huh? I guess if Spit Up counts then that has to count as well...
Also, i think it says everything about me as a fan that i completely forgot about the shiny new moves but almost instantly remembred one of the most obscure ones. Heck, for a brief moment i even thought about Trump Card before remembering that that one only goes up to 190 BP.
I mean power trip has 860 base power with every stat maximized.
@@davidtrottier7066and its special attack counter part in Stored power is the same.
But explosion is very dangerous with its effective 500BP for 0 setup, its listed at 250 but it halves the defense of the recipient which effectively doubles its base power. (Similar to moves that always crit not quite having their listed base power but also ignoring unfavorable stat changes, and effectively not having a chance to "crit" above their normal output)
The move bite has quite the track record of being changed around.
In gen 1 it was physical because it was actually a NORMAL type move at the time
Then it was DARK type when the type was introduced in gen 2 and it was made a special attack as a result and it kept this until the physical special split in gen 4 making it physical once again.
Bite is the only move to not only switch its typing but also how the attack itself was from physical to special then back to physical
Here’s a type fact that makes me a bit upset: in the Johto games there is a gym leader or elite four member for every type with one exception. Ground doesn’t have one since the previous ground leader was replaced by Blue
the work you always put in this videos always impress me...
Also, its also amazing how GOOD Tyranitar was despite its massive amounts of weaknesses throughout the generations...
A fun fact that many people don’t know is that ghost types can flee without fail after generation 5
I think it's neat that Ice has a move that's specifically super effective against a type that Ice isn't super effective against normally. Freeze Dry is a fun move
For number 5 I would also like to add Fairy Dragon. It did exist with Mega Altaria, but now that megas are gone it does not exist anymore
I remember thinking gengar was imuned to psychic moves until I accidentally used one on it and found out it was super efective
I'm slightly surprised flying mons are on avg faster than electric types, given that their whole shtick since season 1 (electrode) is "I AM SPEED", which hasn't changed with Regieleki being added to the top of that list.
Still waiting on Dragon/Bug and Fire/Fairy to become real
Maybe delphox and flygon regional forms
@@LeDave257 Pokemon XYZ had the perfect opportunity to highlight the new Fairy type by giving it to Delphox, but they unfortunately fumbled it
Flygon and Delphox? Are we all forgetting about the even better candidates of Yanmega and Ninetales?
This video was pretty cool. I learned so much! Love your channel!
For the fire 48x trivia, you can also give the attacking pokemon the ability flash fire to increase the damage of their fire type moves by 1.5x after being hit by a fire move (probably hidden power fire).
In Gen 1, Pokémon who match the typing of the move they're being attacked with, that have a secondary effect, cannot be affected by it. Just like Lick for Ghost-types, the same is true for Normal-types with Body Slam, for example.
I believe the interaction between Fairy and steel is related in that you can weaken a fairy's power by trapping it in a steel cage.
I didn't know much about these type but am so glad I watched this video.
Cause it sure as heck was very informative,and just so good :D
Hope you had a great day
I think the reason why bug is super effective against dark comes from the idea that dark type is just evil psychic type. And steel taking neutral damage to electric is terrible, but arguing for it would mean I'd fight to make empolion even less viable, and I can't do that.
The typing of the Sinnoh starters creats a lot of weirdness.
Such as Empoleon taking neutral damage from both other starter's main types but 2x from their secondaries.
Torterra can hit both other starters for 2x but doesn't actually resist the water starter. (Especially since as a bird Empoleon gets peck & drill peck to hit Torterra for 2x)
And Infernape is 2x weak to both other starters and can hit them both for 2x.
This weird type matchup is almost like if they were all part dragon type to break the normal "rock, paper, scissors" of the starters.
@Jason Reed I thought that was what they were going for, though. Making Empoleon a tank unless it is in near any match up with the opponent having a super effective move, Infernape that but offensively, and tortera a mix between the two. And making it so that clearly there is no bias between which starter is better. I say that while damn well knowing they had one other fire type besides the starter in the first game they were in.
I always assumed it is strong against dark is reference to how many heroes themed after insects there are
The fact they haven't made a bug dragon a type but made flygon a ground dragon while garchomp was all ready in the region is very upsetting
There's other ways to make Flygon stand out that don't involve swapping the fantastic Ground for the low-grade Bug. Just shuffle Flygon's stats around until it's a dedicated special attacker. Then give the Bug/Dragon combo to Yanmega, for whom it's actually an upgrade.
Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Fire/Fairy would be an interesting type to see for a Pokémon and I wonder what type of moves it would have.
In light of Alolan Ninetales, they really should have done Fire/Fairy for the usual Ninetales.
@@gengarzilla1685 Yeah
Fire gets the highest multiplier, but the highest damaging move in the game is Ghost type. Even with a x48 boost no Fire type move would reach the power of super effective Last Respects.
Love the videos btw keep up the good content!
Love videos like these. Thank you!!!
5:11 We have got starters that are electric and normal types being Pikachu (starter in Yellow and Lets Go Pikachu) and Eevee (in Lets Go Eevee).
Was abt to say that but checked comments first
Notification squad, where ya at?
Nice, I really love trivia videos like this!
your videos are so cool i used to watch you when i was like 8 lol but you stopped posting for like 2 years and im glad your back
5:50 umm actually
Dragon, Dragon, Dragon is a type triangle
There used to be a type of card in the TCG that had Dual Types, like a Fairy/Water Auzumaril with a slash to divide the colors on the card. Bonus: that card was half shiny in the card art.
Volcanion EX was also dual type
i missed you man great that you're back
amazing video as usual
Roost doesn't make a Pokemon typeless, it actually turns them into Normal types
Edit: It only turned them typeless in Gen 4, I just checked
Roost gets rid of the flying type, not turn them into normal types.
If a poke is pure flying, it becomes typeless (grounded). Since all flying types before gen V had a 2nd type, they would never become typeless
@@ominoussouls1 it was either gen 4 or the pokemon used roost second or they had a ring target
@@luisaponte7703 if they are pure flying they become normal
I feel nostalgic watching this video. Idk why
13:00 Dark being weak to Bug is a reference to Kamen Rider. In Japan, the Dark type is known as the Evil type, the Kamen Rider fights evil, and the Kamen Rider’s design is based off of a grasshopper and various other bugs
Isn'f Lokix based on Kamen Rider
Love your vids
Bug may have many flaws, but those Ground and Fighting resists are lowkey way valuable. We've seen from the Bug/Steel combo that Bug works very well in tandem with something resistant to Rock. What I'd like see is a strong Bug/Ground type Pokémon, as it's the only pairing of Bug with a Rock resist that doesn't create a double weakness.
Also, Flygon shouldn't be Bug/Dragon. Yanmega is a far more suitable candidate by being a prehistoric dragonfly _and_ it wouldn't be hardcore nerfed by the type change like Flygon would. Because you'd have to be stupid to pick Bug over Ground.
I think gamefreak should make a dual typed move called “frost bite”, which is an ice type move but does fire damage as well (I know to some degree that wouldn’t make sense but it would be cool) or at least burns the target
Ice Burn does that, but it's exclusive to Kyruem White.
DLC epic reveal be like: welcome our new bug/dragon type, Dududunsparce.
Steel strong against fairy is also a reference to old folklore and poetry, where "cold iron" is supposed to either ward off or be resistant to the powers of the fey.
Wait... didn't Dark type moves all used to be Special?
I think I figured out why steel isn’t weak to electric. Steel is supposed to represent metal as a whole, and while all metals conduct electricity some of them are significantly better conductors than others like Gold and Copper
IIRC pure, distilled water doesn't actually conduct electricity very well-please verify this before trying any weird science experiments-and it's actually dissolved minerals and such that allow it to conduct. Since our bathtubs don't dispense pure, distilled water, there's still a risk of electrocution if a blow dryer or something falls in. The point being, some waters conduct electricity better than other waters.
Honestly the whole conduction argument is a little strange, since Normal isn't weak to Electric, and pretty much any normal animal can conduct electricity perfectly well. I think the real reason is that if lightning strikes a pond or something, pretty much all the fish in it will die, but if lightning strikes a pole, the pole will probably be fine, though something like a computer would be toast. There could be an argument for both weakness and resistance or even immunity, so they went with neutral damage.
amazing, thanks for the fun facts about pokemon types.
i wish for certain types to be buffed, please.
13:00 I remember reading somewhere that Bug beats Dark because in Japan, many superheroes resemble bugs. Stuff like Super Sentai or Kamen Rider.
Fact 9:
The Kalos starters become super effective against their weaker types with the Grass/Fire/Water being complimented by Fighting/Psychic/Dark respectively
Fact 13: The Eeveelutions are a great way to remember which types were Physical/Special. This includes the Dragon-Eeveelution we never got that would be weak to Sylveon
Drakeon lives in our hearts.
wait what...? Immune to 7?I thought ghost was Immune to fighting! steel being super effective against steel type would make sense but then that's just buffing the only type that has 1 weakness (dual types not included). I want gen 10 to contain trio typed Pokémon and loads of dual type moves.
it is
@@dooom1234 then why was it 7 immunity's rather than 8?
@@mysteriousmog51 An error i guess
yoooo another auraguardian video
for the highest damaging fire type move one u can also give the attacking pokémon tera fire plus flash fire boost to amp it up even more
Dark Types were Special before the split. Mightyena would have been great in Gen 3 with physical Crunch Stab
Houndoom does that better, plus it has Fire STAB and is one of the very few Fire types to learn Solar Beam before Gen 4 gave it to almost all Fire types.
@@gengarzilla1685 I wouldn't take either of them on my final team. Mightyena is and its pre evo are available early though
5:44 fairy, fighting and steel
(13:21) Ghost also can flee a wild battle regardless of speed or level.
Bug is strong against dark because, in Japan, superheroes are heavily associated with the Kamen Riders, which are often bug themed. So since superheroes beat evil, bugs are strong against dark. This is also the reason for fighting being strong against it, since fighting types are 'honorable warriors'.
When you're so early, not even Arceus is born yet:

Ngl that's a pretry cringe comment..
How about Fighting, Ice, Flying for perfect type circle?
Not exactly perfect, Ice does not resist Flying.
And fighting does not resist ice
"grass psychic is the worst typing in the game" *iron verizion looks nervously*
I've heard that Dark being weak to Bug is a nod to Kamen Rider.
Dark is known as the Evil type in Japanese and the costumes of the heroes in Kamen Rider are themed after insects, making "Evil" weak to "Bug".
Dark type moves were special, not physical. Remember, the special types were Dragon plus the Eeveelution types.
At 5:00 why do Eevee and Pikachu not count as starters?
It's funny how Bug is one of the worst types to be but if a pokemon has a 4X weakness to bug, their chance of getting used in competitive singles gets tanked lol
I'm pretty sure Steven is a rock collector and he travels around looking for rare stones (hence the name Steven Stone), and his team represents that with Steel Rock and Ground types
If you see this Aura Guardian.... Hi :)
11:48
Fun fact, giving flint loupanny, steelix abd drifblim in diamond and pearl is really creative because they represent the word "Hot" in diffrent ways:
Drifblim: Hot air baloon.
Steelix: Hot metal (probobly those on sit belts in cars or metals being used to creat things out of metal).
Loupanny: Hot in a sexual eay.
That's a stretch
Steelix is deep underground, so heat from pressure.
To my knowledge it’s a pretty common thing in a lot of fairy/fae mythologies that they’re weak to iron, iron shavings or powder being used to chase them off or keep them away from things etc… makes sense they’d be weak to steel
Fun fact, there is a normal/steel type Pokémon, but it’s only in pokestar studios, its name is F-00.
Pokéstar Studios also debuted some other type combos before they became "official", like Psychic/Electric and Dark/Psychic.
Fun fact, it's spelled *its*, not *it's*.
@@enoyna1001 it's as in "it is"
@@Tae.psycho I referred to >>it's name is F-00
Also from I remember back then people told stories on folklore where people believed to keep fairies away was to use iron or metal items around the house, probably why fairy was weak to steel is because of old folklore.
3:25 you forgot "Dragon and Fairy
mega altaria
I never got why Fire resisted Fairy until now. Thank you for sharing that. :)
3:22 I have an idea for fire/fairy. Basically, fairy types are all lovey dovey and passionate and stuff, right? Two words: burning passion.
Also, Ice Poison could be frozen poison. The rest aren't too hard to imagine
13:05 to be true, there's 2 point on that. true, metal does conduct eletricity, but also, when thinking about metal being, they would feed on eletricity so....kinda make sense not being super
Electric being strong against Water can be easily explained when you think that, arguably with the exception of Vaporeon, no Water-type Pokémon is actually made of Water, but they all live in water. They’d easily die if a lightning hits the water around them.
On the other hand, most Steel-type Pokémon (especially Steelix, Skarmory, and Magneton in Gen 2) are actually made of metal, so ideally they would not be damaged by electricity. An argument can be made for Pokémon like Scizor who have a metal armor, but in general I think it’s a good idea to have Electric not being strong against Steel
Reason for Dark type weakness for pscychics, is because dark types are known as evil type in japan, so corrupting your mind would be painful, kind like shadow priest in warcraft.
10:36 ember? That snom would die if you forgot to turn your lights off
5:50 there’s also ground poison grass, but it does reuse grass
Ah, a nice serious video finally
Water conducting electricity I believe also separates into it's contituint elements through a process known as hydrolysis.
