Plausibility of Pokémon Abilities

Julián from MinuteEarth explores the plausibility of Pokémon abilities in the real world. Bulbasaur's plant abilities, Charmander's fire traits, Squirtle's water-squirting, and Pikachu's electric shocks are compared to real-world animal adaptations. While some abilities have parallels, others remain fictional. Squirtle is deemed the most plausible Pokémon. The video concludes with a promotion for CuriosityStream.
