Have you ever seen a Pokemon use a move and think, why did this happen? Well, that was what happened to Austin! Today, he's going to figure out the science of one of Pokemon's weirdest and most deadly moves, Voltorb's self-destruct! Why do something so... self-destructive, instead of something else? Well, it may actually make a lot of sense...

Voltorb actually comes from a common concept in rpgs: Mimics. This is fairly obvious when you look at it's Pokédex entries and shiny colors (regular voltorb is red to mimic a Pokéball, while shiny is blue to mimic a great ball).

What if the Voltorb is actually a layered entity, and the section between the outer, and next layer is the intentionally weakened, and this layer is where the short circuit occurs, this would allow it to actually survive by sacrificing that outer shell to create a reactive armor essentially, and during the the shock from that explosion, the Voltorb makes a high speed getaway. Thus giving the impression that is has blown itself to pieces, but in reality it just exploded its outer shell, and rolled away. This would allow a caught Voltorb to technically not die either and as the games now try to tell us, they "faint" and technically, this would be even smarter than the Aphid strategy, as it would allow the individual to alert the others, and also allow it to survive... And considering how easily they seem to explode... This would actually make more sense than the self-sacrificial model.

Even make more sense if they shed their outer layer like feathers, furr or scales. Let say their outer layer is a thin sheet of metal, preferably one that's flammable like magnesium. When they short circuit them, all they did was actually connecting their internal batteries to the shell and explode. Should the Voltorb survive it'll just grow a new layer.

Explosion's "condition," so to speak, is that it causes the user to faint; the method is semantics, Voltorb ceases to be able to fight as a direct result of using Explosion, regardless of how high its HP was. In effect, it dies by using Explosion.
@candlestone5397
@candlestone5397 2 роки тому
I always thought that Voltorb was originally one of the gastly line that possesed a pokeball, but due to the pokeball being to contain pokemon, it couldn't stop possesing it, and it became a new creature. the explosive nature comes from the gastly line's Gas. many kinds of gas is flamable, especially if it is under pressure. Them using the explosion moves are them building up lots of gas and then sparking it with electricity.

Well, since your own Pokemon can survive using explode/self-destruct with something as simple as (the presumably medicine contained in) a revive crystal, I suspect that Voltorb actually have 2 layers - one encased in a very strong material where the internal organs are, and a second layer where the grass builds up and the caustic deterrents are stored that is encased in a much weaker (but still strong enough to build up the required gas pressure) casing. That way when the Voltorb explodes, it’s significantly handicapped but still alive, as is shown in-game. This would be closer to the defences of bombardier beetles than the aphids.

@Kartoffelkamm
@Kartoffelkamm 2 роки тому
My theory is that its body contains a special organ to store water, which is part of the circuit for the self destruction. When the water vapor reaches critical levels, it opens its pores and releases the steam, creating an explosion without harming the pokémon too much. It's just thirsty afterwards and needs some rest.

It’s so clever! I love this theory! And I really relate to it as a Pokémon player. I remember farming my Pokémons and meetin random Voltorbs or even worse their evolved form and just running away because I knew that it wasn t worth the risk to fight them if they could self destruct and create more injury than the xp i would get from them. So it’s a very clever defense mechanism.
@FireFarmer123

"Voltorbs gave up eating vegetables so they could eat magnesium instead" Through what, diffusion? They don't have mouths! (Actually, this kinda makes sense that Electrode would have a mouth because with it being bigger with more volume the surface area wouldn't scale so it would have to manually eat some magnesium in order to survive compared to voltorb who can just chill in one spot all day. Kinda neat when you think about it like that!)

Interestingly, Electrode, the evolved form of Voltorb, is described as "floating aimlessly on the winds" and "volotile to the point it's called the bomb pokemon", indicating Voltorb's evolution has a more powerfull but unstable battery, so rather than congregate the Electrodes spread out. This would protect the group from accidental chain-reactions and deter predators from their home base as any aged Voltorb that evolves will be floating AWAY from the colony at any given time. A noble creature to the end. Nature is such a beautiful thing.

Now imagine if there was suddenly a mass-evolution, resulting in hundreds of Electrode floating in a single direction, and people trying to save themselves. Also, they're just far enough away from each other to not cause a chain reaction if one explodes, so any barricade set up will have to handle multiple explosions.
@starsilverinfinity
@starsilverinfinity 2 роки тому
Interestingly enough, this extreme instability might be some sort of built-in reproductive mechanism, abit like Creepers from MatPat's Minecraft theory. Another comment suggested that Voltorbs can survive their explosions, using it more like a deterent than a suicide switch and with that in mind it would mean that it would be great for defense but following Creeper reproduction logic, perhaps diffuclt Electrode would fix that kink, being excessively unstable so that it can basically go off as hard as possible and spread its children to the wind
@xancarter1927
@xancarter1927 2 роки тому
@@starsilverinfinity I did consider reproduction as a possibility, especially with the volatility in later stages, but reproduction through explosion isn't really viable when the creature is super-heating in a shell and explodes with superheated gas and battery acid, so I dropped the theory. Then again, I believe Voltorbs have metal shells, so other inorganic components may exist. Perhaps they release "spore" zygotes like some coral that could potentially have a silicone-based protective coating. IDK.
