wait but where is the negative charge his hands?

As an electrical technician i can say: you got a lot wrong here. First the human skin has a resistance of 1000 ohms. Also if the cheeks of pikachu where negatively charged, then so would be the whole Pikachu. Also you don't know if the Pikachu itself may be an insulator and only the cheeks are a conductor. But the main thing you got wrong, is about how lightnings work. It's true that a voltage of 30000 volts per centimeter is needed to overcome the resistance of air, but once it's ionized, the resistance drops massively. Going by your logic, lightnings would be harmless

I'd also like to think that as an electric Pokemon charges up its next attack, it is effectively ionizing a route in the air between it and it's opponent. Using extra "hidden" energy to charge up the distance between it and its target, like an invisible radioactive beam. Then when it has charged up enough, it releases the electricity and then the sparks do the rest. This is why I also believe the electricity can curve and/or strike multiple opponents at once.

So, if we reverse this and say that electric Pokémon have to be doing *some* kind of effective attack (since they do actually KO other Pokémon), could it be that we have the mechanics of their power wrong? Maybe the power isn’t to “shoot lightning,” but to ionize air? So, the power is the ability to reduce the resistance of air to nothing, and thus allow them to turn what should be minor shocks into major weapons?

This video should be used in school when teaching about electricity, I found this much easier to understand and more interesting than back when I learned about it in science class

You can indeed direct where a lightning strike goes, and we do it for research and even the U.S. Military has tested lightning-based weapons like the MARAUDER plasma railgun. The main way is to use a rocket trailing a wire. As the rocket flies up, the wire provides a channel of least resistance for the lightning to strike. Its pretty cool, and the process vaporizes the wire creating a giant green line of plasma. The other way to direct a strike is to ionize a channel of air. Fire can ionize pockets of air, but the military tested high-power Lasers to ionize a channel of air to guide lightning. A literal Lightning Beam! So in the case of Pokemon, perhaps electric type pokemon can ionize channels of air to guide their lightning strikes, or fire out extended whiskers that act like wires.

Minecraft theory: I have a theory about the blazes. Wither skeletons are made of carbon as they drop coal on death. They most likely were fossilized in soul sand and netherrack and eventually gained the properties that allow netherrack to burn forever. Then some of them got hit by a ghast and they lit on fire as well as gaining the ghasts’ ability to fly and shoot fireballs becoming blazes. due to the fact that they were made of fossilized coal and netherrack they burn forever and can shoot weak fireballs at targets. They also live in the nether fortresses because they used to be the ancient builders. Edit:The spawners could be a result of the builders experiments with life and death. After blazes lived in the fortresses for a while their essence went into the spawners and they started appearing from them. Edit 2: magma cubes could be slimes brought into the nether.

that too is science. because the game devs needed a way to slow down the massive overuse of dragon types, so they made fairy immune to it. game balance is science too

I find it funny how matpat is explaining this but not how wild animals (after beating up others) change skin color hair color and so much other stuff

In conclusion, thunder fang is the best electric move. Bites with sharp fangs that are electrically charged to deal damage.

"Hot wings" What about Magnemite/ton/zone? Since they control magnetism they could alter the field around their opponent to make an electric charge.

Technically, Pikachu IS shocking himself with the negative charge. The animation shows his body filled with electricity.

Now I wonder how the move Thunder would work with this since it literally summons a cloud and it’s relatively close to the ground
