Wooloo and Dubwool are two British sheep pokemon! but as always, there are more questions to be had. What is Wooloo based on? What is Dubwool based on? is Dubwool a soccer ball? why does Wooloo roll? Why do the Britons and Celts have a sheep bonus in Age of Empires II? and much much more.

Sheep Pokémon are a necessity for Galar- a UK based region. For starters; Wales is extremely famous for sheep and farming, especially for the meat (Welsh lamb is some of the best). From personal experience, you can’t go too far without seeing them in Wales. Side note- Derby, a town in England, is also heavily linked to sheep, to the extent of the sign for it in BSL (British Sign Language) sign is the same as the sign for sheep. Additionally, sheep significant and super important historically in the UK. The Wool Trade was extremely popular, and a massive source of income for many people, and even the country as a whole. Wool was commonly exported and sold globally with the Wool Trade, which allowed a massive source of income for the country. Even without looking far into it, sheep belong in Galar (the UK)- perhaps more so than any other region.
This episode about balls and shearing was a missed opportunity for a Manscaped ad.
Wait, if cotton doesn't thrive in the UK, why is Eldegoss in Galar?

because AFTER the industrial revolution, England began importing most of Europe's cotton. (90% of it) and used their newly invented steam-powered looms to mass produce cotton fabric for the rest of the world. It was significantly faster to export cotton to england, and wait to get the cloth back, than it was to make the cloth at home without the industrial machines.
Between the rolling ram enemies in Pac-Man World 2 and now apparently rolling goat enemies in Elden Ring, it definitely feels like there's more to this than just balls of yarn.

There should be a defensive rolling-based move or passive ability for Pokémon who roll and bounce away if hit instead of being knocked over. A "rolling with the punches" move, if you will.
German here: Walliser Schwarznasenschaf (Black Nose Sheep) is pronounced this way: Schwarz = sch pronounced like sh in sheep, w pronounced like the w in water, arz like the artz in quartz (IPA: ʃvarts) Nasen = N pronounced like n in nose, a is a longer noice like if you get it and say Aah, sen is pronounsed like zen in zengarden (IPA: naːzən) Schaf = Sch like sh in sheep, a again like Aah, and f like f in foul (IPA: ʃaːf) Also the short melody from the german national anthem "Deutschlandlied" is from the "forbidden" first stanza (not really forbidden but extreamly taboo). Which was heavily used during WW2 and is assoziated with this time. If you ever refer to germany again in this way please use the third stanza. (You can lookup this in wikipedia in the article about "Deutschlandlied" second sentence)

Seconding that. They can also learn by observing other sheep doing so, evidently in Wales they're trying to keep that under control due to concerns of it impacting the infrastructure if entire herds learn the trick.
wooloo is precious and much be protected.
In addition to the video as a whole, I enjoyed that "lamb-slide" joke at the start of the video.
Dubwool was no joke one of the anchors of my Shield Nuzlocke run. Everyone in the game came to fear my zen headbutting, body pressing ball of wooly death.

Wooloo is a fav of mine from Shield for sure. So much so that I shiny hatched two of them so I can have a Shiny Wooloo and a Shiny Dubwool. And I absolutely adored that Twilight Wings Episode. Although, I felt Wooloo looked too small there, but it does fit being a young sheep or lamb.
Ah yes the Majestic eagles flying across the screen with the cry of a red tailed hawk.
As someone who has a British grandma that has made a lot of sweaters for me, I can say for sure that yes, British people like wool
I remember when I visited Scotland in a group some years ago, a gentleman told us a joke/tale about how the sheep in the area have shorter front legs and long rear legs to stand on hilly terrain to graze. In order to capture sheep, people would stand uphill and scare the sheep so they would turn to run down hill and their legs would cause them to trip and roll down the hill.
This is one of the funniest of your videos I've seen in while!!!!! 😀😂🤣 Keep up the good work.

Fun Fact, that stereotype started because the Welsh and Scottish during British occupation stole sheep in the middle of the night (because British control over the sheep and wool production was highly exploitative of said people). The theft of sheep and other livestock at the time was punishable by death. Getting caught "shagging" however had a much less severe punishment. So as a common joke goes, must've been pretty awkward for the British soldier who was first given that excuse by the Welshman who got caught in the process of sheep-napping.

You want to know another fun fact? One city in Australia has a suburb with Wooloo in its name: Wooloowin in Brisbane.
Fun Fact about sheep and Age of Empires: In Minecraft, if an Evoker is standing nearby a blue sheep, it will cast a spell that causes the blue sheep to turn red. When that happens, the Evoker makes the same "wololo" sound from Age of Empires, since Microsoft owns both Minecraft and Age of Empires, they have just as much of a right to use that sound effect in Minecraft too.
fun fact, apparently that one sheep was able to survive the predator attacks because its wool was just so thick. They couldnt bite anything other than the wool

I got a plush wooloo for my birthday last year, I’ve even stitched a bell collar onto it so it’ll be a bellwether Wooloo!
The hairstyle on Wooloo could be based off of common depictions of "little Bo Peep." She lost her sheep. I guess they rolled away.
My grandpa who is (or retired carpenter) made a Mouflon had out of dark oak wood and would scare the crap out of me when I was younger due to it being at the bottom of the stairs to the basement. Still creeps me out to this day
8:20 I do not recommend using that part of the anthem. We Germans usually only use the third verse. We do that because "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" (translated: Germany, Germany above everything) is not the best thing to say after 1933 and the following years. Only German viewers will notice but I still recommend using the third verse in videos, or just the instrumental. Love your videos!
my favorite pokemon names are the one that play around with the word, I dont even like wooloo too much but the fact that it spins and while spining the name you get wooloo > ooloom makes me like it a lot more
