Hello there and welcome to the world of Pokemon.
My name is Professor Jacob and thank you so much for joining
this lecture on Pokemon biology. Of course with me here today in
the classroom is my wonderful teaching assistant.
Mr. Curtis a load everybody. Mr. Curtis.
Okay, good. Whew, this time, I am here.
And I'm ready to party in ready and by party.
I mean, listen, intently and take copious notes and dictation
from your lessons professor. And if that's not a party, I
don't know what it is. That smells like the worst party
I've ever heard of. That's that's my bleep.
Every party I've ever been to. That was actually that's taking
parties. That's what I did on my
birthday. That was my birthday party.
Hmm, coming to class. Yeah, really of all the things
that you could have done on your birthday.
However, old you are, you could You just you said around took
notes. Okay, I mean, whatever sounds
boring to me, but what I party like you thought it, we say it
like sat around and took notes. And yeah, it's going to sound
boring Corbin. How about the way this is a
cleaner ounce. Is there a training trainer and
training Corbin here? Hi.
Hi, he's, he's at Nui. So he doesn't really understand
much about the world. No.
No, I understand. I'm look, I might be 10, but I
was told about. He's, there's one thing I've I
know I've learned there's one thing that I know is the
bathroom properly. That's Not really true.
I have been pants. I have been, I've been paying
for years correctly now, constantly non-stop.
No. Now you that what I'm saying is
I know how to party better than anyone.
You guys. See you next time.
I have a birthday. Whenever that may be.
I'm going to let you guys coming to my party and we're going to
kick it. We're going to have juice.
We're going to have chips. We're going to have, we're going
to have people impersonating. Mr. Mimes.
We're going to have God. Could it be her?
Actual? Mr. Mi Nam?
Actually, mr. Bhagat, he's going to purchase.
Well, I mean, that's true. We got to keep it on a budget
though. We're going to have, we're going
to have feels playing with balls.
It's going to be fun. It's going to have wild playing
with feels as if they are balls. Yes and wall ruins playing with
Seals playing with. Feels that are playing with
balls. Going to be a whole Cascade of
just these aquatic Pokemon. Just playing with each other.
It's going to be a great time. That's a party, not note-taking.
Let me tell you, let me tell you.
That sounds fun. I mean, it sounds, but a lot of
it seems like a lot of work to me.
Not like, what, you know, like getting to a sit-down, just
eagerly. Take down some notes, on some
new and exciting information on Pokemon biology, which is what
we're here to do today. So I tell you what we could do.
Yeah, we could, we could set up a Pokemon gladiatorial fighting
rink, and we could put some extra Pokemon in there and just
seeing just based on the general.
Yeah, but like, Uhn Uhn Uhn trainer prompted.
Okay, just hope, just wild feral Pokémon.
Wild-caught, never poke bald wild Pokemon.
Throw them in a ring. See how it goes down.
All right. See, I don't know if that's
authorized by the the, the the league Federation.
Also, I don't think it would be all that interesting, to be
honest. I think it depends on Pokemon,
you throw in there, but if you throw in like a Caterpie and a,
I don't know, like a like a chart or something, but I don't
be, she's just gonna hide, it's not gonna do anything.
That's true. Sweet.
Boring. Guess who gets a bad idea.
Mr. Curtis. Yeah.
Bad idea idea. I'm still 10 points away from
mr. Curtis.
So now you have come to me, nineteen thousand eight hundred
and fifty. I think I'm not really keeping
score anywhere. I should write that down.
That's something for late. Future Professor.
Jacob current Professor. Jacob.
Is here to teach you guys about Pokemon biology.
Does anybody know what Pokemon that we're talking about today?
As I'll give you a hint free of charge?
We learned about venon at last week.
Oh venoth, then a free know, your come.
You're combining the name of the Pokémon that we're learning and
Butterfree. Damn.
It um, you know, then 0 then 0 for free.
That's a preview that no bomb. No, no, no apple, the no bath,
but no top than 0. But then, oh wait, so you're
taking the no-fly the no goth than.
Oh. Hey Todd, that's close enough.
That's close enough. Hoth.
No, no Jonathan Toews off that. Oh yah off then.
Oh, yeah, just get through all the letters and Eventually get
there and then oh NOS then or not.
That's it with an N. Right, you know, not quite you
were one letter off. So I'm counting this as a win if
you're better than you normally are.
We're learning about venomoth moss, the poison moth Pokémon.
Yes, and it's weirdly. If the evolved form of benenati.
They don't really look related at all.
Yeah, but You know, whatever the evolutions, weird guys, who
knows? It's a strange one.
Normally I would let you see the Pokemon but I've decided against
bringing in venomoth into the into the classroom for obvious
reasons. I think we're going to learn its
see venomoth is is very similar to Butterfree.
Okay that when it flaps its wings, it kills everybody.
Oh on purpose or And I guess I it's a defense mechanism.
Although I going off the Pokedex entries.
It's not clear whether or not it can do it on command, but it
doesn't seem like it. Okay.
Well, that's frightening. Glad we don't have, we don't
have it in here. Ain't no.
I'm glad that you're taking this.
Well, you were very you were, you're very vocal about your
distaste. When I didn't bring out a
Butterfree. Listen to me.
Listen. Listen.
I had a feeling this was going to happen.
So I just looked up pictures of Venomoth.
I know what you're saying, and it's just about forgot the name
of what we were. I did, I did actually in, lieu
of bringing Pokemon. I did print out and laminate a
picture of a venomoth to hand out.
So here, okay. Here's one for you.
Mr. Curtis. And here's one for you or me.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, so if you could just just take a look at that, you know,
it study of it. And he told me it's noticeably
different about of them are everything.
It looks very different. No, it's purple then and that
was also purple. Well, this is more of a fuchsia.
If you will like the city gas Futures, just purple.
Well, destroy have any doesn't have any legs Professor.
It has six little tight legs out like wrapped up next to its
chest. Own the picture.
You sent out that those words. Ribs.
Just poking out. Oh, what about the little grip
blurs? That been in that hand didn't
carry. A over did carry over or they
turned into, excuse me. They turn into those legs.
That's what happened. Probably.
Yeah. I think I think what happened
was its feet turned into its wings.
That makes sense, which is a horrifying thing to witness
happening. Well, feet turned into the Winx
that's Evolution for you man. Being questioned, the antenna on
its head kind of invented. A Ted can't turn to this weird
like, like, Skull thing that venomoth has.
That's actually actually looks kind of cool looks cool Crown.
Its power back early. I don't like how it's how its
eyes are though. Yeah.
It's eyes aren't quite as cutesy has been a Nats, but that's okay
and they definitely don't match everything on don't match man in
hat size. No, they really do but has
intense compound eyes that she lasers.
I don't know. I guess they just merged into
one. It seemed like it would be like
a bad thing because then it loses its radar vision and its
ability to shoot like crazy beams out of the time.
Is there another? Evolutionary reason we're going
to learn as to why it did that or like any effects for having
Better Eyes. Now, like interesting question
their Corbin. I say, let's go ahead and start
reading these Pokedex entries and find out, right?
Well good-bye. Venema.
Oh, sorry. I'm so used to saying no.
I know it's here. Here.
I can like I can like throw a Pokeball.
An empty Pokeball and make it slow.
Like sure. Yeah.
Thursday rat, do that third at my laminate right here.
Yeah, you're gonna catch that banana.
Oh, by then, and I hate acting. This isn't Fun, all right, let's
get on with the lesson. I material this is it the same?
We want venomoth. We want Venom or it is, there's
the Revel that I know that. I know him.
You know what, I expected from the beginning.
I lied at first. I thought it was okay with it.
And then I realized, wow, venomoth is a cool-looking
Pokemon. I want to learn more.
Why can't we see it in person? Because it won't kill you.
Oh my god. I've wanted to die for years
come. Come on.
All right, you saw Butterfree outside outside right people.
It's winter. It's too cold outside.
Oh my God. Okay, fine.
Fine fine. That's which the seasons here in
canto are really weird. Yeah.
Just I know kid. She chose.
Just listen to those deadly birds out there.
Chuckling present here that so cold her that's funny.
It was sunny and 80 yesterday. I don't really know.
It's happening here, man. It's a global global climate
change. Yep.
It's happening. It's real, maybe.
Maybe there's a Castform on the loose either that or Groudon and
Kyogre fighting again. And it's causing we stay would.
I wish they would see a counselor or something.
Yes, but I say we should go to couples therapy.
Yeah, because they're changing the entire climate of the planet
if they're fighting and that's what's causing this.
Okay? Which would you guys prefer a
planet completely water or a planet completely land?
Which would you prefer? Oh god.
Well, I mean I sail and I would say land because there's I mean
water, you just have to swim forever.
Like that's well, you know water might work.
What's that town? There's a town in hoeing.
That's all built on the water. And you know, right?
I can't remember what it's called camera, what it's called.
But I mean that could that could work it's possible.
But where would you get the supplies to build any?
Look it up on my Rotom laptop, but no, but where would you get
the supplies to build this? So I guess I guess.
Land would be better. But then rainfall, you could
just make little puddles of water.
So I'm gonna go with land so grout on for the win.
There's no more, no more water. If it's all, and there's no more
water at all. Either way we die.
Yeah, you want, do you want to die drowning in water or thirst?
Which would you prefer? I don't like this class anymore.
This is to metal for me to handle.
I don't like it. I don't like it.
I'm scared. I'm gonna call my mom.
I don't want to talk about dying in the class.
I want to be able to almost die by seeing a Pokemon in person.
That's what I want. Okay?
Yeah, that's the true nature of the Pokemon world.
And Pokemon classrooms is almost dying seeing constantly.
I'm still trying to find this town, pacifidlog.
It specific log. That's a lock.
Yeah. I forgot it's ever been there.
So I did, I pulled out my world atlas and I like looked up and
looked into the Hoenn region of Out at specific log.
Very nice. Very nice.
Okay. Hey, I'm going to read some
Pokedex entries here because, hey, isn't that good job.
Alright, starting off in the Kanto region for been a net or a
venom venom off. Sorry, very similar names.
The dust like scales covering its wings are color-coded to
indicate the kinds of poison. It has okay.
That's very that's very thoughtful.
Yeah, so it's interesting that says dust like scales.
There's a weird. It's a weird kind of description
of it because I mean I guess I'll be the next one and it kind
of explains a bit more. The powdery scales on its wings
are hard to remove. They also contain poison that
leaks out on contact. So did you have to contact those
wings the scales on the wings, right?
Okay. So the scales on the wings are
different color depending on how potent.
It's poisonous know. What, what kind of poison And
what kind, what kind of poison so either?
So venomous are different types of poisons.
Supposedly. Oh, come on.
I think it's only two different types.
Okay. So yeah, so the scales now,
they're powdery scales. All right, so there's scales
covered in powder, right? And they contain poison in this
in the scale inside. Yeah, that will leak out if you
touch it. Okay, right.
Okay. The last one here for the Kanto
region says, the powder on it. Swings is poisonous.
It's tatters, the powder with every flap.
So you may be poisoned if you are downwind oof.
All right, so now we got, you got poisonous scales that that
Leach out poison if you touch them and poison water, that's
also poisonous. Oh, okay.
So yeah, so poisonous, but I thought you said it was hard to
remove, but now you're saying that it removes it with every
flap, the powdery scales on its wings, are hard to remove.
The scales are hard to remove. But the powder flies off with
every flap. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah.
So there's there's two different components to a to a venomoth
swings, right? It's the least that we're
interested in scales and powder, powder is on the scales.
Scales are hard to remove, but the powder flies off very
easily, right? And it just keeps isn't on
dishing it. I assume I guess I don't really
know how. Okay.
Let's let's get some more information here.
Let's move on to the Johto region.
When it Tax it flaps, its large Wings violently to scatter.
Its poisonous powder all around. Yeah, coming world.
Win a poison. It seems very indiscriminate.
It's like, I mean, there's a bad here, but I'm just going to
poison and kill everything around me.
Yeah, true. Yeah.
I'm a little careless. That's a little careless of
venomoth. I'd say.
It's not very yeah, a little bit.
I mean, better Butterfree did literally to the exact same
thing. Butterfree is a tiny baby boy,
that doesn't know what it's doing.
Reinvent them other the same size, buttery buttery buttery
fly, you know, it's so sweet. And everybody loves them now and
their little hands. They just running that have a
little grip lers. No.
Well. Yes.
Yes, it does. It does have insurance.
Don't trust those rib. Looking hands.
Don't trust them. I mean, venomoth.
Then I'm off doesn't have any group.
Yeah, I would prefer to be hugged by a Butterfree then.
Uh, I know it's Eve. That's why I'm saying,
Butterfree is more of a trustworthy Pokemon.
I mean, you remember mother free?
Remember mother. Free Butterfree would never hurt
us except for the time that he did, we passed out by the tree
outside, but that's beside the point.
Look Butterfree. I will trust any day and when he
poisons people, he does it out of love Butternut.
Sure. Okay.
The next one, here in the Johto region.
Region says, the powder on its wings is poisonous.
If it is dark in color, if it is light, it causes paralysis.
Okay. Good to know because I know
Marker light. So it was dark is poison.
And if it's light is paralysis. Yeah, so I guess poison just
kind of like hurt you. I guess if you breathe it in and
then paralysis does what, you know, probably too much.
I'll kill you for human at least maybe yeah.
Are at least internal bleeding. Oh, yeah.
Oh for sure. Yeah, you're coughing up blood
for sure. Yeah, you're coughing up blood
and peeing everywhere. It's great.
And starting all over the place. God.
Yeah. All right, just you lose total
control of your body. Oh, yeah, bodily.
That's like me when I party. Whoo.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna deny going to your birthday party.
Then Corbin sounds awful, right? That's rude.
Alright, the last one here we decided.
There's, you know, this is the last one for the Johto region.
The scales. It scatters will paralyze anyone
who touches them making that person unable to stand.
The scales scales. Okay.
So if it's skills fall off and you touch it, it paralyzes you,
yes. All right.
Again, there's this poison. Only leaks out if you if you
contact it and touch it. Okay, God.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay. So, again, Wing or scales and,
and powder two different things and that caused two different
things. All right, let's move on to the
Hoenn region. There's only two entries here,
so it should be quick venomoth. Nocturnal.
And then it describes what a nocturnal Pokemon is.
It's it is a Pokemon that only becomes active at night.
It's weird that just now decided to describe what nocturnal means
even though we've had a bunch of Pokémon already that are
nocturnal. I know its favorite prey are
small insects that gather around streetlights attracted by the
light in the darkness. Hmm, which if you recall
correctly is exactly what what been enacted.
Write something similar. Yeah, so that evolution is
Carrying over. Yeah, but bananas eyes were
specifically designed to see small Pokemon in the dark.
Whereas venomoth's don't appear to be.
No, just kind of chills in the darkness looks to the light and
then attacks all the little bit maybe insect Pokémon that are
chilling. So you could say that because it
was a vent in that when I started Living the darkness, it
was born in the darkness. Yeah.
Molded by the dark, molded by it.
Yeah. He didn't know, he didn't know
about the light. Doesn't always already a
venomoth and by then fill it only blinded him, right
Butterfree. Of course, only merely adopted
the darkness. Yeah.
Well better W was was born a yeah, the whole thing the whole
thing. Okay.
The last one here for the Hoenn region says the wings are
covered with dust like scales every time it flaps its wings.
It looses. Highly toxic dust.
No saying highly highly. Okay.
Alright toxic this time. One hero.
The Centre region. It says it flutters its wings to
scatter dust like scales. The scales Leach toxins if they
contact skin. Mmm.
Yeah, we've said that already the right?
So like so it's letting it's not spores.
It's like snails that are falling off when it flaps its
wings. No, well.
Okay, so it does kind of go back and forth because this entry
says if flutters its wings to scatter dust like scales.
Yeah, right. And it says that the scales on
its wings are hard to remove the powdery scales are hard to
remove their scales, but they're kind of powdery scales that when
it flaps its wings. So it's kind of like it
replenishes. It's skills all the time.
Like I mean, how we replenish our skin like once a year or
something like that. I don't remember what it is, but
it's like this. So that works out.
I remember. Yeah, it's like every other
think it's like every seven years, like a human gets a new
completely like different layer of skin.
And I think their venom Moth, it just does the same thing but
faster on its wings because it's feels weird.
Drop it off and puts weird Corbin because nobody asked you.
Oh, all right. All right, so it's good that
you're well wasting time by telling us this sure.
Alright cool. I have to say I'm certainly do
for another set of skin at this point.
Yeah. Yours is all used up.
Yeah, you're not gotten some new skin and several years.
Yeah. What's the mileage on that skin
there? I don't think we want to know.
I don't even want to know. Man still has this baby skin,
but it looks so stretch it all the time.
Oh God, that's awful. Okay, okay.
Okay, let me so I think I think I think that last that you're
kind of confused us a little bit.
I think it needs to be stated that there's still two different
things, there's scales and then there's powder on those scales.
Those are separate because the scales can either poison you or
paralyze. You wait.
No, what I say the powder can either poison.
Nor paralyze you. But the scales, if they contact
your skin. Will Leach out poison that
paralyzes you. Okay?
All right. Okay.
Was that tracking, is that making sense?
Because otherwise, a lot of these entries, contradict each
other and just don't make sense. Sure.
That makes sense. Let's go with that.
Good. All right.
There's one here. One last one here.
Again, you know of a Kalos. Gal are they all let us down?
Ole? Ola has only one entry that's
very similar to what we've already read.
But there's a little, there's like an extra word.
That kind of helps a little bit. It says, the powdery scales on
its wings are hard to remove from skin.
In other words, if they go into your skin, it's hard to remove
them. So the scales are hard to remove
from your skin. Yeah, and then it goes on to
say, they also contain poison that leaks out on contact.
Okay, so the scales they can shed the powder and they can
shed the scales. Yes, but if you, but if you get
this, if you get the powder, you can be either paralyzed or
poison depending on the color, but if you get the scale, Tails
on you. They're hard to remove and they
Leach out toxins. Yeah, paralyze you, it sounds to
me like they're probably like vessels or tubes or something in
its wings that excrete. Hmm.
Paralyzing, a paralyzing agent and a poisoning agent.
However, the actual skills themselves are poisonous.
So when it flaps its wings, it can send out either the
light-colored paralysis powder or the dark colored poisonous
powder, but the actual skills themselves they fall off.
Fan impale, you with sounds awful.
It actually has poison in it. Well, I don't know.
I don't know if it can decide what kind of poison or what kind
of powder it puts on its wings. I don't you ever say that it
could choose. No, it didn't say that.
I can choose, I just says that the dust it says the just like
scales covering, its wings are color-coded to indicate the
kinds of poison it has. But and then the one that talks
about what that goes into more on that says the powder on its
wings is Poisonous if it is dark in color.
If it is light, it causes paralysis and never it never
says whether or not, it can choose it.
What kind of powder? So I wonder if certain
venomoth's can use like stun Spore or something.
And other ones can only ask poison powder, like, I wonder, I
wonder maybe it's like a regional thing or maybe females
can only do poison males can lead to paralysis.
There's something like that. I don't know.
I don't know, man. Maybe just a genetic thing.
Like this. This family of venomoth's.
Only do poison that family of elements only do four ounces or
or maybe it is a thing that you know, they can just they can
turn on and off they can decide. Hey, I may be poison.
I want to poison now, we know it's not going to tell us the
Pokedex entry Pokedex entries. This is we're all their own
here. After after I finish my race of
super spinner acts, there might be some room in the vendor that
line to improve it. You should leave.
They usually leave your Pokemon experimentations.
How do I say this the fuck alone?
I think you should not do any. Just imagine.
If you could breed both lines into the same venomous.
You could have poison and paralysis powder one on each
Wing to be fair to mr. Curtis that meant that may in
fact already be how it works again.
We don't know. We don't know.
We just know that the point that
the powder is color-coded, that's true, is that we won't
know till we get a couple hundred Generations in.
That's all I have to sell my God.
No, no, no, really. You're really playing Arceus
here, mr. Curtis, and it's kind of scary
that nothing, you know, nothing. Good ever comes from that.
Nope. Mmm.
Okay, so that does it for the regional Pokedex entries?
Let me go ahead and read the unique Pokedex entries.
We have to hear the first one comes to us from ashes Pokedex.
It says venomoth and an evolved form of Ravenna, net, really
weirdly stating that. Maybe there's another evolved
form of that. Okay.
All right, the tiny scales on its wings disperse, various
spores, when they are flapped. And then the last one, here
comes from unknown. I'm not entirely sure who this
comes from, do not familiar with that person.
What their name is Anand. I just, I just, I don't know who
they are. Okay.
All right.
Sorry, the dust like scales, covering it.
Wings are color-coded to indicate the kinds of poison.
It has. It has a short life span span
and appears to be the evolved form of event in at appears,
huh? We don't know the fierce know
what? All right.
Nobody's seen it happen. Nope.
It just sometimes I've been in that will go into a cave and
outcomes of venomoth. That's just our best guess,
really? So that, that first one, you
read those came from from who was it was the first one that
Ash. Okay, of course is Ash, of
course, this should have Justice.
Zoom. So that one said, spores though
instead of Pauli did assays for us.
It's a various spores, didn't it again, again, to be fair?
There is precedence that ashes Pokedex does like to play tricks
on him. So, yeah, I would go I would go
by the national like the regional pokedex entry.
Yeah, wouldn't wish. Listen to ask.
You can't even beat a fucking Pokemon League.
Wait, no. Be no Lola.
He did. He has done that.
Yes, he did be do. Okay.
Well, that's I've heard, they're one of the easier ones.
So I mean, to be fair. It's all within his first year
of Pokemon training. So it's very impressive.
A lot of work, a lot of work. Yeah, a lot of work, a lot of
regions. He's visited in that one year.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
So let me that does it for the Pokedex entries?
A lot of really conflicting ideas in all of those?
I think, I think, I think they could really use like, I think I
need to call a meeting of all the of all the The like Pokemon
professors and all the different regions and we need to just kind
of sit down and really just decide all, you know, on what
venomoth can actually do because there seems to be a lot of
confusion here. Yeah.
Well, I'd be happy to invite them all to the next
inter-regional Gathering of the league of inter-regional League
of assistance. To professionalism, is that they
use Highbury time. Was that the entire name or did
you mess it up halfway through and start over?
I think you're just changed every time the name of the
league is the inter-regional league of assess assistance to
professionalism. Okay, so I did stutter stutter
on assistant there. That's anyone least.
So like if I just like Pokemon professors like anything that's
like professional, right and assistant to and yeah, right.
So it seemed like you might have like somebody who's like
learning how to weld or something.
Someone whose ass is so welder. Would yeah, well, They I suppose
we could but I mean as long as they're a professional and you
know, we get we do get some like you know assistance to nurse to
the nurse Joy Corporation. We do get some stares Joy
corporate. Do you mean Pokémon centers?
He's got his own name for everything.
These days Pokemon centers are like the generic term, but you
know, really all of the there is no choice.
Corporation is the brand the nurse Joy corporation.
Owns all the, pokee the pokee centers.
It's basically I'm gonna lie. There is other kind of Pokémon
centers. It's just that the nurse Joy
Corporation has such a like Monopoly on them that you know,
we when we think of it we just think of Pokemon centers.
Yes, right, of course. Okay.
All right. We're wasting everybody's time,
not talking about Pokemon biology.
So I'm gonna get back to doing that.
I'm gonna do it with this unsourced.
Unaccredited are just shut up Curtis.
Yeah, well yeah. I guess in less polite words.
Shut up Curtis, yeah, sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm being quiet. Venomoth is an insectoid
Pokemon. Whose body is varying.
Shades of purple. Its head and thorax are light
purple and it has bulbous, round light blue eyes.
A small mandible, and a three-point Crest on its head.
Tucked close to tuck. Sorry, tucked.
Close to its thorax are three. Pairs of tiny.
Whitish legs, its abdomen is paler with several black
zigzagging stripes and circling it.
Mmm. It has two pairs of pale purple
wings with thin black, venation, the nation, I guess.
Are those that work comes from the venation?
Is it that the Venom is an Abomination, the lines you see
in the wing? Yeah.
Oh, okay. I thought that was a point where
like, veins basically, exactly exactly.
Yeah, must first seen a lot of Of things in this day and I am
the I am the resident insect ologist.
These Wings Are covered in dust, like scales, that vary in color
depending on their toxic capability, dark scales are
poisonous, while lighter scales can cause paralysis again.
This is incorrect. This is not true.
It's the powder on the scales that can cause these scales are
released when venomoth flutters its wings and leak out, poison.
Once they make contact with the skin.
Venomous lives in dense, temperate forest with thick
undergrowth and a little light as an as I'm nocturnal Pokemon
venomoth comes out at night to hunt for its favorite prey and
prefers to feed on insects that gather around light and venomoth
is attracted to Bright Lights itself.
All right, and that does it for the entry?
That's it article, that does it. All right.
So, it's over we're dumb. No.
Well, okay. I know this lesson isn't a
little bit confusing. We've had a lot of like, Any
ideas here. But regardless, I still need to
quiz you on them. So go ahead and put away.
Your Pokedex is get out your Rotom laptop.
So Meg a pencil or a pen. And you know what?
I'm ready? Let's just get this quiz behind
us. All right, fine.
Let's just get it over with, rip.
The Band-Aid off. Now spank me while you're at it.
No, I will not do that. Anyways, alright, so is
everybody ready? I have never been ready, more
ready for anything. Go Professor.
All right. Question.
Number one, which parts of a venomoth are poisonous.
Listen, I expect. I expect you both do very well
on this quiz to be honest. None of these are particularly
difficult questions. It's I feel it's there's not
that much about venomoth. I really feel like, all right,
both of the answers are now and I have no edited edited answers.
So we're good. There Corbin responded with the
scales on its Things and the spores on those wings.
Hmm. Okay, spores interesting.
Warrant. There's choices.
I'll dive to determine if it's correct or not.
Mmm-hmm. Mr. Kersey responded with the
powder on the scales of the venomoth is the poisonous de
scales are not poisonous. They leak toxin that paralyzed
people. I mean, I don't know about that.
They are set up - there's no, I do.
Reason paralyzes people. I'm pretty certain that.
Never once in the Pokedex entries.
It says the scales are poisonous.
I mean, if there's poison in them and they hurt you, then
it's poisonous, just says it just powdery scales.
The powdery scales on its wings are hard to remove from the
skin. They also contain poison.
That leaks out on contact. That means they're poisonous,
poison. I don't know, but I poison
that's not is poison in a mound that we didn't know.
Okay, you know what? It says.
It leaks poison. Not that means it's still
poisonous. If it leaks I always and that's
forbid if there's a Pokémon that excretes poison.
Are you going to say? It's not a poisonous Pokemon.
It is you would say that it is. Yeah.
And like a poison can paralyze you.
That can be one of the effects of the poison.
Right? Is laziness.
Yeah. I know it's different.
The skills are definitely poisonous.
That's just that's just straight-up wrong.
All right, Curtis you eat Corbin.
You were also wrong. It's not spores.
It's powder. There's what's the difference.
What's the difference? I want to know.
Fours are like seeds. They lay.
I thought they use the word spores a few times in the
Pokedex entries. They have not not in this, they
did. Okay.
Listen, they did but it was ashes Pokedex.
It was wrong. Fine.
All right, so I'm giving you I'm giving you each.
You guys gang three-quarters of the points for this one.
Okay, fine, fine. That's I've never done that
before, but I'm doing it now. The first for everything.
Alright, alright, professor professor, whatever you say goes
and whatever I say goes. All right, depends question
number two. Alright, so one of my favorite
types of questions where it's the fill in the blanks, but you
can like fill it in twice and it makes you different sentences.
Oh boy. Oh goodness.
It's easy though. It's easy just to do for
answers, then technically, it's your filling in for blanks that
make two answers. Okay?
Okay. All right.
I'm ready. Right?
We've done this a couple times before, if you'll excuse, get it
by now. Let's do it.
All right there. Question that the sentence is,
if the powder is blank, it will blank on contact.
And so, okay, so you can fill that out twice.
All right, both of the answers are in.
Let me go ahead and give them a quick cold read.
As I normally do for these fill-in-the-blank questions.
I'm just gonna take their answers.
I'm gonna throw them into the blanks.
Mmm-hmm. If venomous powder is light,
this is sorry. This is Corbin's answer, by the
way. Yes.
Yeah, it is. If venomoth powder is light, it
will paralyze. On contact.
And the second sentence is, if venomous powder, is dark, it
will poison on contact. All right, let's move on to mr.
Curtis answer. He says, if the powder is dark,
it will poison on contact. If the powder is light, it will
paralyze on contact. Yes.
Curtis was always supposed to be light and then paralyzed first.
You got to run, buddy. Sorry.
It doesn't matter which way which order you fill it out
there core man. All right plan.
Yeah. So it's just like you if it's
okay. Cool.
Curtis. It's just like you have to calm
down. Mr. Hearst just in case I'm not
listen II trust the professor. The professor whenever he say
goes he have you ever noticed that he likes?
Super doubled out double down on that whenever I tell him he got
it, question wrong. Yeah.
He's a big kiss but I put I put my myself in the professor's
hands and only in his hands. My soft hands.
Okay. All right.
Can we can we keep going please? Sorry, okay.
Question number three, what are venomously favorite low gray.
Can you shut up? Mr. Curtis, please, for once.
I'm sorry. Look at that or so.
I read it again. I would love you too.
I'd love for you to read it again.
Would love it. Professor.
There's no need to read it again and hurt your voice.
I heard every word that you said.
What was it? What's it?
What's been a Mas? Favorite?
Prey? I mean Dad.
I don't need to say it again. Okay, I'm just making sure hi.
Fella. The answers are in the first one
here from Corbin says, so, the question, what are I've been a
math. Venomoth's favorite prey.
He said that its favorite prey is small.
Insects Chillin by lights at night.
That's right. And mr.
Curtis says then, no moth. Love to pray on the small
insects that gather around lights at night.
So yeah, I mean you guys both mentioned, said the exact same
thing. They say it's that they're
attracted to pray that are attracted to the light night.
Even though itself is also a Did two lights at night and so is
venon. At I wonder if ever gets
confused and tries to eat, like a van at all.
That would suck to getting his baby.
Do not be sad. Okay, last question.
Now, this is the hard one, guys. All right, boy, not really.
It's about as easy as Alaska, wah.
Okay, never mind. Um, what is the on contact
effect of venomoth's poisonous scales?
What is the on contact effect? Yes on contact effect, like what
happens to you when it contacts you?
So the The question again, is, what is the on contact effective
venomoth's poisonous? Scales Horan responded, releases
the poison from the scales into the preys body and they get very
sick or die. Okay.
Mr. Curtis responded with the scales paralyzed.
Anyone who come in contact with them.
That is that? That is the correct, a
paralysis, is the correct, right?
Fuck. So the powder can either poison,
like just, you know, But the scales themselves.
Paralyzed, I forgot scales will always paralyzed a.
And so, unfortunately, that is a wrong answer for Corbett.
Yeah, but correct answer from mr.
Curtis. All right, so yeah, not too bad.
Not too bad. Not, I mean, not your best quiz,
but definitely not your worst. So great job all around and that
does it for today's lesson. So, before I go, I just want to
let all the Students at home who are listening at home.

If you enjoyed this lesson you want to spread out to as many
people as possible. You can do that on flappable
podcast. Are just singular flap or
podcast. Some people just call it Apple
podcast. That's not right there.
That's that's a that's a, that's a spelling mistake.
Yeah. So if you've only ever heard it
as an apple podcast, that's fine.
That's that's probably where you want to go.
But that does it for today's lesson as anybody know, we're
talking about next time. Oh did oh now now?
Well, I mean, in a sense, we're always talking about it all
because ditto can be every Oh, c'mon, that's true.
Um, I'm gonna piglet. Chloe, again, close.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna say, it's a Wurmple.
I'm feeling like it's another bug type Pokemon and, and that
is close to piglet. We might be right.
That was, that's what that was. Definitely a Hail Mary there,
mr. Curtis and it did not pay off.
That was completely incorrect. Okay, dick.
