The Tree of LEGENDARY Pokemon - The Arceus Theory

Archeus Life - Perfect Zygarde Archeus Light - Ultra Necrozma Archeus Chemical - Eternamax Eternatus Archeus Reflective - Terastal Terapagos

Side note for Carbink that Toby didn't Mention (Spoiler for the end of the Indigo Disk): Not counting the Wild Stellar Tera Pokemon, Carbink is one of only 2 Pokemon seen roaming around the Area Zero Underdepths, the other being Glimmet. It's clear that Carbink are drawn to places of massive/mystical energy.

Didn't see anyone else mention this yet, but the original Dragon does have a tree associated with it. In Black and White if you rank up the Intralink/dream zone multiplayer thing eventually a spiraling black and white tree will grow in the center of the area (so exact middle of Unova)

About Terapagos not being a dragon type, you forgot one specific detail: It’s a turtle. Turtles are reptiles, just like all the other dragons. It isn’t a dragon gameplay wise, but I’m fully willing to assume it’s biology is in line with the other dragon Pokémon.

For Kyruem, it’s the entra-link tree to represent the duality coming together which ties together dream mist

Since Gen 6, I theorized Rayquaza and Zygarde in a way represent Heaven and Earth. The seal on the cave Groudon and Kyogre were sealed in released green energy as did the Cave of Origin. Green like Zygarde and Rayquaza. Rayquaza's orb in HgSs is called the Jade orb (although, a bit of a weak link as it's called the Green orb in Japanese while Groudon's is called the Crimson orb and Kyogre's is called the Indigo orb)

Here’s a thought with no basis whatsoever, Stonjourner’s ability is Power Spot which lets it radiate an ambiguous aura that bolsters the strength of nearby Pokémon. There’s your extremely loose Eternatus connection right there, big power auras.

11:40 Stonjourner kind of works? Its ability is "Power Spot" which is the same name as the places in Galar that allow Pokémon to Dynamax, due to concentrations of Eternatus' Galar particles. Both the Ability and the Dynamax sites are called "Power Spot" (パワースポット) in Japanese too

Thanks for the shoutout! 😊 I feel like Pokémon has been building this epic thing that might culminate in the next generation. I’m so hyped for where Pokémon is going, but I’m also so sad that there won’t be Bird Keeper Toby videos on it! Hopefully you’ll come be a guest on me and Dusty and everyone’s channels from time to time.

Eternatus actually poisons a bunch of characters in the manga. Some poison residue even attaches to the rusted sword and shield after the fight on top of rose tower.

With Terapagos and terastal energy now here, I've had something of an idea. A pokemon, functionally, can be seen as five things; its evolutions, its moves, its design/form, its typing, and its stats. Zygarde, Necrozma, Eternatus, and Terapagos, and the phenomenon that come from them/they symbolise, each affect these. Mega Evolution - Zygarde - Evolution Z-Moves - Necrozma - Moves Dynamax/Gigantamax - Eternatus - Form/(Size) Terastallization - Terapagos - Typing And throughout each phenomenon we see a variety of ways they each affect stats, be it totem pokemon or similar, or special forms, dynamaxing affecting HP, and mega evolution does it a bit more directly. Combined, Zygarde, Necrozma, Eternatus, and Terapagos can affect the entirety of a pokemon. It would be pretty terrifying to see a pokemon using Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Gigantamaxing, and Stellar Tera-type all at once. Sorry for the big comment.

What if all the trees in each game are actually the thousand hands of Arceus reaching out to provide a link to each world and the world of the gods. Each tree baring a fruit of knowledge for each region they exist in, literally and figuratively. The fruits I'm referring to would be the mastery of each games gimmick.

9:57 a stone for zygarde could also be the zygarde cube a crystal hexagonal ball that stores up the zygarde cells you get it in sun and moon from the scientists from x and y

I think there's definitely something there with all the special trees we've been getting lately. Another facet of the tree theory that I haven't heard mentioned is that every single game, starting with Red and Blue, starts with a tree. Or, at least, a person named after a tree. Oak, Birch, Rowan, Juniper, Sycamore, Kukui, Clavell. All are trees. And they're all the first thing you see when you start a new save file, setting you up for your journey. The lore probably starts, way at the beginning, with a tree.

Side note connecting kyruem together a bit more: in gen 5 there was an unused 3rd stone, that was likely meant for the cut pokemon gray (and/or the original dragon). The 3rd stone is called "the god stone"... so the original dragon is definitely meant to be part of this whole cosmological dragon-deity tree thing if that's anything to go by.

I know it's unlikely but I'd love to see another "It all comes together" styled mega theory with Toby and Lockstin again

I believe Meltan/Melmetal are the link to Eternatus since you said Eternatus is the representation of Chemical in Archeus. I believe that since Meltan is the representation of mercury on the periodic table that might link it to the Chemical aspect of Eternatus.

These kinds of videos are incredibly fun because yea, Pokémon only rarely care about its lore (partially by design). As of Indigo Disk we have 3 unrelated alternate universe concepts: the mega/nonmega split, ultra space, and alternate timelines the paradoxes are from, for example. But theorizing is still fun because it’s all about thinking about Pokémon and analyzing it. The stuff about connections to alchemy and religion is not at all the kind of thought the developers put in but it’s still genuinely clever of the people that come up with it, and kinda cool.

Something I noticed while playing Pokemon Scarlet is that Glimmora’s face looks a lot like the spikes that come out of Kyurem’s wings. It might be a coincidence, but it’s an interesting connection!

Not to be that person, but we HAD a Type gimmick in Gen 5 that was left behind almost immediately... To which we see a near similar gimmick in the Stellar Tera Type. 5 - Type GEMS (???) 6 - Mega Stones (Powered-up Evo Stones) 7 - Z Crystals (Shards of Necrozma's Light) 8 - Wishing Stars (Pieces of Eternatus) 9 - Tera Crystals (Terapagos manifested) BW REMAKES: Type Gems = ORIGINAL DRAGON???
