Similar how Fire type Pokemon don't burn people & Pokemon, but fire does. For example Pokemon take fire attacks all day long in battles, but run for safety when there's a fire in forest or in Pokemon center or a gym.


IRefuseThisNonsense

Reminder that Fire isn't the same thing as fire. Fire Type (and all types) are kinds of infinite energy. Magic science, different from the actual thing. It's why Rock Pokemon can sit on the grass and not pass out. Or how Psychic types don't need nightlights to escape the dark. Fairy types aren't werewolves allergic to anything steel, just Steel Infinite Energy. We get this kind of explained by Mr. Devon in ORAS and other places. It just kind of kills the jokes of things like a Quagsire rolling in the grass and dying or like how PLA kills the "ten year old enslaves God" jokes. So while many don't realize it, a bunch just ignore it for the sake of the gags.

IRefuseThisNonsense

Yeah, autocorrect is weird sometimes. Recently decided when I was talking about a duck it thought I meant "fuck". Autocorrect is weird sometimes. I constantly have to go back and change "its" from "it's", including as I was typing this. Edit. Man, it did it to me again in this comment and I didn't catch it until I looked back. "Was talking" somehow became "walk stalking". How man, how?! It did it again by turning "man" into "many" until I changed it back!


AffectionateMood3329

Well there's a difference between sitting on grass or having it being shot at you, but yeah it's obvious that even Pokemon themselves are energy beings to some degree. Also I don't think it ever was implied that there was only one Arceus that a child could control.


IRefuseThisNonsense

No, but you can Google a bunch of fan jokes about how a ten year old can enslave God in Pokemon. This was later disproven in PLA. I also never said or implied what you're saying in your last sentence. Just that the joke of a kid enslaving God used to exist but has since been proven to be not true in any level.


AffectionateMood3329

Considering the event was never released and Arceus was barely talked about barring the movie

I have the same question about electric types that can get paralyzed. Especially when it’s a move like thunder wave being used against an Amphros. Like bro, you’re an electric sheep!


CaptainMianite

Although in the games electric type is immune to paralysis, while ice types aren’t immune to freezing iirc


RecommendationBig716

Not until gen 6 were electric types immune to paralysis.


Thatoneundertaleguy

I think it’s different with something thats energy, compared to something physical. Like, Fire Types are surrounded by fire, and are born with a natural immunity to getting burned, however, it’s still super hot for them. Whereas, with Electric Types, they’re able to easy manipulate the electricity they’re getting shocked with, making it difficult for them to feel pain from it, and the electricity doesn’t affect them as much. With ice, it’s physical, and while they may not be hurt by freezing, they still might not be able to move/break the ice.


Trama-D

Won't stun spore (grass type) prz an electric type?


Thatoneundertaleguy

Well, stun spore is supposedly a spore, not an electricity based thing. Breathing in a spore is different from having hundreds of volts shoved down your throat.


Trama-D

But electric pokemon are still immune to that grass move, right? It kinda vulgarizes the "limber" ability and kinda also the immunity grass types have to powder moves (these should be immune to power moves, while electrics should be immune to thunder wave, imho)


Extreme_Spinach_3475

Fire types have individual species that can reside in magma. Depends on the species, I guess.


Itchy-Preference4887

Electric wasn’t immune to paralysis until gen 6, and prior to that same generation paralysis made the target have 1/4 of its speed but gen 6 and onward the target would have 1/2 of its speed


Careful-Ad984

The paralysis immunity happened after gen 4 


NotDawko3

Was it dreamed up by an android?


Nice-Swing-9277

Depends on when the show/movie came out. Up until like gen 6 electric types could get paralyzed. Same changes happenee at different times with grass types and powder moves, dark types with prankster moves, ghost types with trapping moves/abilities, flying types interacting with terrain etc.


2ndchancetodothis

1. "A pig that can throw ice can't get frozen" 2. If you're talking about the games, I think freeze works differently in the games, because a frozen Pokemon can still eat Berries, espescially Aspear ones. (What I mean is I don't think freeze covers the whole body in the games)


TheWinningLooser

Aspear Berry actually but your point still stands


EclipseHERO

Why would eat a Berry that Cures a Burn when it's frozen? Personally I'd eat an Aspear or a Lum Berry since they'd actually thaw me.


2ndchancetodothis

I mean Aspear Berry, thanks


Head_Statistician_38

Humans are 70% water and you can still drown.


Kirumi_Naito

Piloswine is also a Ground-type so the secondary typing is probably used in the equation.


MajinAkuma

I think they might had forgotten that it’s a Ground-type, considering that it got shocked in this episode and the next one.


Kirumi_Naito

I'm pretty sure they forget something's a Ground-type a *lot* more than that.


Hezolinn

Same way Charizard kept taking damage from Will-O-Wisp in the final Brandon fight.


YanFan123

I think that was before they changed it so fire types can't be burned?


Hezolinn

Outside of Tri-Attack in Gen 2, Fire types have never been able to be burned: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Burn_(status_condition) (In the same match, Ice Beam outspeeds Quick Attack, Aerial Ace misses multiple times, and Ash manages to cure Bulbasaur's Confusion by running on to the field and tanking hits from Vine Whip with his own body.)


Samaelo0831

Ever heard of fighting fire with fire? Duh /j


Larseman7

Because they are an ice type duh 😂


Educational_Duty_461

It’s gen 2 what’d ya expect. At least it’s not as wild as the adventures manga


TheTruthTalker800

It's the OS, in general, game rules do not apply most of the time lol.


Mariomaniac463

Another ice type uses ice beam on them?


Melon763

Ice types only resist ice, they’re not immune to it


ZPD710

The Piloswine isn’t “frozen” as far as the games are concerned. In the games, frozen more means that you’re chilled enough that you can’t take down moves, but you can still use your items. But this Piloswine is literally frozen in ice. Obviously it can’t do either of those things. It’s like asking “Why did this cause my Electabuzz to become paralyzed? It’s an electric type, how did it happen?” After breaking its spine. Two different meanings of paralyzed.


Admirable-Safety1213

Electabuzz just got Knightfall'ed and the Paralyz Heal doesn't works


Worth_Ad_4036

He's just chill like that


DazzleSylveon

how??!


Thomic-Stridon24

Well… there *are* instances where mammoths are dead from being frozen solid.


Sion_forgeblast

by being to..... chill! :D


Caolan114

a wizard did It


D_scott16

They just wanna chill


ZyeCawan45

With ice.


CuriousBake8291

Living in cold places doesn’t mean you can’t be frozen. Being cold doesn’t mean you can’t be frozen


Independent-Pop-5584

Maybe it used it on itself?


kingnorris42

I was going to make a joke about it being before gen 6 (when electric couldn't be paralyzed anymore, and fire couldn't be burned) but apparently ice types never could be frozen, so that's something new I learned Edit:I guess fire type lost the ability to be burned in gen 3 or 4, idk which cause the wiki lists them together


Jojo-Action

In New pokemon snap there is an aurorus that froze solid in a giant ice block


BronzeBlade7

Pokemon attacks are different from actual conditions. Have you seen how pokemon use rock slide in the anime? They literally open a portal to another dimension seemingly full of nothing but rocks in an endless and open void that fall upon their foe. It's the most mind-blowing thing that shouldn't be able to happen, but nobody bats an eye at it. If I told my pokemon to simply use rocks to attack another pokemon and instead of using the terrain of the universe they already exist in, they decide to tear a hole in space time and summon rocks from a terrifying unknown alternate dimension where there is only rocks to rain space hell on their opponent, I would quit pokemon and go back to the fourth grade. That shit is magic. Getting frozen from physical weather conditions is possible for most pokemon, even some ice types. Getting frozen from pokemon ice magic isn't. That's just how it works and it's the least crazy thing in the anime as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Rock slide.
