The Best Pokémon (According to Science)

The video explores the plausibility of Pokémon abilities in the real world. It examines the biological basis for the abilities of four popular Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu. While some abilities like Squirtle's water-squirting are plausible, others like Pikachu's electric shocks are less likely due to biological constraints. The video concludes that Squirtle has the best chance of existing in real life.
