For me it was "hold down on the D-pad and B" to increase the chances of catching a Pokemon.

I think a video about the opposite concept could be fun: A video about facts people believe aren’t true but are actually real.

Birds lose most of their heat from their feet because the rest of them is covered in feathers. So when they sleep they pull one leg up into their floof and stand on one leg to lose less heat. That's why hoothoot's other leg disappears.

I had thought Torkoal was part rock type, but then realized while playing Sword that its just pure fire

Actual video starts at 2:35

The Gen One pink blobs formed a nice venn diagram when Gen 6 came out. Clefairy became pure fairy, Wigglytuff became half-fairy and half-normal, and Blissey became pure normal.

Instead of B, I always thought it was the A button since that’s the one you used to select and use your pokeballs. 😅 Also, instead of holding down the button, I repeatedly pressed it to get better effect.

I used to believe Unown was a Legendary because of the Third Pokémon Movie

One of the biggest lies is believing that Rotom,Lucario,and Zoroark r Legendary Pokemon! Anyone else thought they were when they were younger?

For the move Splash when I was a kid, my friend told me that splash actually does damage the bigger and heavier the Pokémon is. I’ve believed this and when I tested it for myself I ended up getting the same message as if I used splash with a magikarp “But nothing happened.”

I used to think mashing the "A" button helped catching odds, and "B" had the opposite effect

for the blissey thing i have the opposite problem: i have to remind myself that clefairy is fairy type, after years of knowing it to be a normal type

I never used the B button but the A button, I believed that B would decrease its catch rate 😅

Psyduck not being a Psychic type was always crazy to me

Speaking of hoothoot, I believed for the longest time that it's evolution, noctowl, was a psychic/flying type

The original Gold version pokedex description for Hoothoot mentions it has two legs, but the Silver one doesn't, so if you played Silver, you would have only been told about its sense of rhythm.

I just had to tell myself repeatedly that chansey is a nurse themed pouched axolatl. When you stack the thought of a pouched axalotl to lines that are singing balloons and alien fairies, it makes it easier to differentiate its line from the others in typing. Audino is also normal typed, so I'm guessing nurse theming is normal typed and will stay that way (yes, audino's mega doesnt help). Nurses tend to refute superstitions (immune to ghost type) neutral to witnessing and reacting to various types of damage seen on the job (no resistances but few weaknesses) and one of the most dangerous aspects of their job is the patients themselves and the security risk they pose (weakness to fighting) it helps to think of nursing as a science that isnt magical, but audinos is a bit of pseudoscience vs eating nutritiously to heal easier. Idk, but remembering their theming in both animal and behavioral motifs like that helps me remember.

Similar to Malamar, Overqwil is not a Water type at all

This is so nerdy, and I love it. I’m in my 30s, and I’m like, “yeah, still Pokémon.”
