Light Speed Diglett

[Niarobi_(Formerly_Hadou)]

I checked to see if this was ever discussed here and couldn't find anything on it so just making sure everyone knows this exists.

It's probably an outlier.

Given that there have been cases of Diglett actually fighting other Pokemon without being nigh-untouchable.

Other than the multiple lightspeed pokemon moves ovo

I was actually thinking about posting this in the FrG a few days ago.

 

[Kepekley23]

I also love PokéSins's reaction to that.

 

[Niarobi_(Formerly_Hadou)]

I figured Pokémon that scale to his speed could be like this speed. And ones faster would be like FTL. If this even works, you know. This is a pretty blatant statement. Gary is so confident with it, giving exact numbers and everything. ^•||

 

[KinkiestSins]

Real talk, the amount of outliers pokemon has is hilarious.

This is an outlier, but I like how everyone is all casual watching this like it is no big deal lul.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

So many lightspeed and tier 4 outliers............

 

[Niarobi_(Formerly_Hadou)]

> so many light speed outliers

If we get anymore, I mean, how long can we still continue to call them outliers? ;-;

 

[WeeklyBattles]

As long as we want to deny pokemon their true power ovo

 

[Kepekley23]

Also, the Yellow pokédex states it burrows at 60mph.

I guess 60mph = speed of light in the Pokéverse. That means Pidgeot, who travels at twice the speed of sound, is actually traveling at 0.00 something mph.

OvO.

 

[KinkiestSins]

How... many different writers wrote for pokemon in general, including games, anime, manga and other material?

 

[Niarobi_(Formerly_Hadou)]

Burrowing Speed Ôëá Speed they can pop their head in and out of the ground. :3

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

I support ovo

 

[Dragopentling]

I can't believe this was never brought back up to light.

P.S. Idc if this is necro'ed, cause the anime, unless if the subs are wrong, is pretty viable evidence right there.

 

[Kepekley23]

This is an obvious outlier that shouldn't be considered any further, that's why we aren't giving it light.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

It could be exclusively withdrawal travel speed, with everything else much slower

 

[Kepekley23]

That makes absolutely no sense. If they are able to pull their heads in at lightspeed, then their reflexes must be on par by definition - in fact, their reflexes would be the only thing allowing them to coordinate the actual movement

 

[Xerkser500]

Reflexes doesn't scale to all speeds all around unless I'm missing something here.

 

[Kepekley23]

Their movement scales to their reflexes, not the other way around.
