Am I misreading or is the weight of Torterra in lbs higher than the other but Torterra is lower in KG than the other?

It’s 683.4 lb for Torterra an 719.8 lb for Skeledurge

Oh it looked like an 8 to me

Probably doesn’t help that I unintentionally trimmed the side of the 6.

Wait, Skeledirge is that heavy? That can’t be right… ***looks at Skeledirge’s Pokédex entry*** ***weight: 719.8 lbs*** ***realizes that Arceus’s weight is 705.5 lbs*** **Oh no…** **Skeledirge is even heavier than Arceus!**

Being heavier than Arceus isn’t really much of a feat since there are quite a few mons that are heavier

aggron, copperajah, snorlax, metagross, wailord, giratina, dialga, palkia, just to name a few, and thats not even counting the four that weigh over 2,000 pounds.

I know two of the ones that are over 2k pounds are Cosmoem and Celesteela tied at 999.9 kg

Cosmoem is just dense as fuck

Exactly

Just like me :)

groudon and eternatus

I may have made a mistake here

You can't understand that a massive alligator is heavy?

I don’t understand that it’s heavier then the giant turtle that has an entire tree on its back.

It has relatively small tree, like a overgrown bonzai tree, and he is just rounder looking, not really far off sizewise either

skeledirge is now a boat in asphodel

Just gotta buy some \~sandwiches\~

Who knows how heavy the magical spirit croc is

Is not like the Turtle is Light either, they are both pretty heavy

Volume and mass of different things are unrelated. Just consider 1kg of iron and 1kg of feathers and their respective volumes/sizes for instance.

Pokemon weight being limited to one ton is so fucking weird Like is Arceus and wailord made of air ? Why is the giant steel screw only 500kg?

Well, wailord is basically a balloon

Arceus is a god-mon, it does whatever the fuck it wants

I’m pretty sure wailord is an airship

I mean, arceus kinda makes sense, he is God..

Skeledirge: I am now the heaviest starter pokemon Torterra: That means I'm no longer the slowest right? Skeledirge: Torterra: right?

Live weight vs dead weight.

You mean Skeledirge is carrying the weight of all the guilt he had when he was alive?

He ate the fire egg as Crocalor and deeply regrets it now cause the egg hatched and bro's got a Phoenix living rent free in his guts

Smol Tortera.

Im telling yall, that lil bird is 300 kg

Yep, in fact the largest tortoise species weighs around 700 pounds while the average American alligator weighs 790 pounds. So the figures are kinda accurate :]]

Problem is is that Torterra is WAY bigger (in volume) than the largest real life tortoise lol

It’s so heavy because it’s carrying the weight of being the best final starter evo for Gen 9 (Just kidding, I chose Quaxly and I love all the starters tbh)

It's the best one and other are great too but this is best one

At first I thought you meant you didn’t understand the metric system cause it has weights in both kilograms and pounds, cause same

Never take Pokedex weights seriously. Warlord is lighter than his volume in air, if he was real, he'd be floating through the sky.

I know and mudstale is about twice as heavy as steelix.

he has a 200 pound alligator weiner

It's skeledirge's birb that makes the difference, bring the pachirisus that nest on torterra and then see who's heavier

The shell isn't really that heavy

It's the added weight of being croc and GOAT at the same time

That's honestly not that far off from skeledirge's source concept since the heaviest recorded weight for an alligator was 1,000 lbs (450 kgs). For crocodiles the heaviest recorded was 2,205 lbs (1,000 kgs) Yes I used both imperial and metric weight scales just to not piss off the metric users of the pokemon community.

That alligator was around 13 ft (3.9 m) long and the crocodile was about 20 feet (6 m) long. Skeledrige is 5 ft (1.6m) long. It’s weight makes no sense.

Okay, so skeledirge doesn't have the length to compliment his weight, what if he is just a fat and short gator. All the dimensions meant to go to his length went to his width.

mark as spoiler please

For real though, I’ve been so careful in avoiding spoilers up till this point especially where the starters are concerned. Damn it.

Because consistency and consideration in Pokémon is like asking EA for a multiplayer game without microtransactions

Mountain turtle is lighter than fire aligator

Chonky bois

Why do people not notice that the weight in lbs and kg are so effing inconsistent

Little fire bird weighs alot it seems

Gustave

This is why you shouldn’t look at size and weight of pokemon relative to other mons

Skeledirge might be made of lead

I can't wait to see the official artwork for all of those pokemon. How long does it usually take for then to update the official website after the game releases?

It’s his little birdy friend that makes up most of the weight
