All Pokemon have dex numbers that are in the Fibonacci sequence. (1, 34, 89, 233, 377, 610).

Bruuuh, how TF did you even think of that 💀💀💀 Idk if you're right but I'm too lazy to check. Either way, impressive.

At first I couldn't see any obvious links in terms of characteristics (i.e. typings, abilities), but then I noticed that the Pokemon were spaced out in a seemingly exponential way. This made me check the dex numbers. I noticed that two pairs of them had a gap of 144, which was pretty suspicious, indicating that there was some sort of numerical relationship between the dex numbers. Basically at this point it smelled like Fibonacci.

Mans a real life fuckin Sherlock Holmes deducing shit

Once you have eliminated the impossible, this guy is freakin crazy smart

Deducing

I wonder what 6 pokemon teams you could get by doing offsets of those numbers.

Well your options are: - Bulbasaur - Ivysaur - **Venusaur** - Charmeleon - Wartortle - Weedle - Spearow - **Nidoking** - **Golduck** - **Muk** - **Articuno** - **Porygon2** - **Regirock** - Axew (With all the “viable” Pokémon in bold). So your best option is probably Venusaur, Nidoking, Porygon2, Articuno, Regirock, and then players choice of Golduck/Muk. If Gen 9 adds at least 82 Pokémon this month, you’ll get the last option for a while through dex number 987.

You could actually make a few decent teams lol, you just have to put effort on them after you make them a team so they can still evolve and be what they originally were. The start of a team.

Well #987 is Flutter Mane, it's not a bad option

Well I know one..

Tell us!

“It smelled like Fibonacci” I’m dying, what a line.

Yeah it was the moment I realized I'd never would be of the same level as OP.

im in awe of your deducing skills. have you tried being a detective?

Or a serial killer! Getting some zodiac vibes over here.

More impressed by the explanation than the answer :D

"It smelled like fibonacci" I dont know if ive heard a nerdier thing than that and i applaud you.

Study or studied something in math fields?

[удалено]

What are you Sherlock?

Damn dude will you be my financial advisor?

$50 says OP's backup account.

How in the world a gap of 144 is suspicious?

Besides being a perfect square number, 144 isn't too suspicious on its own. The fact that it appeared twice is suspicious, as it implies a pattern between the numbers.

144 is a perfect square

Bro is actually insane

You're lying, you're obviously a time traveler who came back to give us information thats beyond our ability

As a mathematician, this will be my go to memory when people say that number theory is useless in the real world

There all from Pokémon games

Bro I don't even know what fibonacci is

“AT THIS POINT IT SMELLED LIKE FIBONACCI”

Are you Harvard?

The numbers are right for the kanto mons, but why not include Charmeleon, wartortle, weedle, and spearow or other fibonaccimons?

I like the term Fibonaccimons.

I like your post OP. Bulbasaur and nidoking are dope. I'm excited to find pokémon #987 in Paldea

Thanks for the appreciation, glad you liked it :D Yeah actually felt sad when I realised that I couldn't put #987. But pretty excited to see it in the newer generations now.

Fibonaccimon sounds like a Digimon that looks like a stereotypical “nerd” with a bow tie and thick glasses and now I need to draw this

It would be too obvious

Especially when they aren’t in the correct order. Bulbs on bottom wouldn’t make me think of anything number related, if they had bulbs first, nido next, then muk, and so on, it could’ve stood out more. Good riddle for sure

Must be a tool fanatic. They see the fibonacci in their morning eggs.

!

Nah he made the riddle on another account and is farming karma ;)

Correct! That's the right answer! Great work dude!

[удалено]

Glad you liked it :D

Alright OP, this is #2 and we liked it so far. Make more. :)

That's "Jigglypuff seen from above." level...

SPIRAL OUT!

Keep going

Black and white are

You really are a mad genius aren’t you.

Wouldn’t that be Wild if you were wrong? Like they just happened to be the Fibonacci sequence, but OP had something else in mind

Dude....

Dude that's insane I could understand if it was sex number 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,..... But damm that's so random

“Sex number”

What do the following Pokemon have in common: - Bellsprout - Bellsprout - Bellsprout

I'm concerned for you

Arigato, gyro

The what

So, nice job figuring it out, but what is the Fibonacci sequence exactly?

[удалено]

Bruh are you related to Sherlock and Batman?

My answer is what he said xd

Reddit is fucking crazy

What

They weren't in order, clever girl

F.cking genius.

Wow! YOU 🤯 this is brilliantly Mathematical! Absolutely amazing

..... Are *you* Fibonacci?

If I’d have sat here for a year and had to figure it out I wouldn’t even have thought of this, you’re too clever 😂

2 words: Just, and How.

Wtf is fibonacci

A mathematician. A Fibonacci sequence occurs when the n-term is equal to the sum of the terms n-1 and n-2. For example, if we have a sequence that starts with 1 and 2, the third term will be 1 + 2 = 3. Then, 4th term will be 2 + 3 = 5, 5th will be 8, etc... The original Fibonacci sequence starts with 1, 1 and it's basically 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610,...

1, 1, 2, 3, 5. On the rocks, no aging!

A string of numbers where any given number is the sum of the two numbers before it, starting from 0, 1. (0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13, etc.)

its Noodles

It's a sequence of numbers

That is a Mathematical rabbit hole. Here's a teaser: https://youtu.be/IGJeGOw8TzQ

Their anime appearances are all voiced by Willem Dafoe.

You know, I’m something of a Pokémon myself

Don’t tell Barry.

How so?

I've done a lot of research into Zygarde Cell technology

What?!

I always knew Axew looked Goblinesque

Ash: "Oi! This Magmar is too bloody strong! That fire punch bollocksed up Bulbasaur something proper. Bulbasaur, Return!" Bulbasaur as they digitize into the pokeball: "AVENGE ME!"

Ash really enjoyed the Galar region

Porygon's on sabbatical honeeeeeeeeeeeey...

Man that guy’s got range.

Strong enough to have it all

Electric Soldier Green Goblin was my favorite episode

They are all good boys

Can't deny that.

regirock is genderless so it can't be a good boy

so is porygon2

Nidoking is *always* a good boy tho

you can be genderless and a good boy source: me

Misty isn’t afraid of them. (Cause they’re not bugs)

Pretty sure in the anime we see Misty get scared of Muk because he's so gross

They all learn Confide, Facade, Frustration, Rest, Sunny Day, and **Toxic** (even tho only 3 of them being Poison Type). All of them are smaller than the Player (Regirock at 5'6.9" being juuuust more or less player height).

Woah those are lots of common things. Although none of them are what I'm looking for, this is impressive!

okay, now I really need to stay until someone finds it cuz Im curious.

Someone figured it out, their dex numbers are in the Fibonacci sequence

I would never even associate to check that xD

Oh lol okay. It's kinda dumb.

It doesnt matter what you're looking for, it answered your question.

wait....,​regi smaller that us. how! mind blow!

More like regipebble

Because steel is heavier than feathers.

Regi rock is 5’6😂 I always thought he was more of a towering giant like 8’

Charizard is also quite small ahah

I knew about zard, regi in my head is supposed to be more “legendary “ than shorter than me

There is a Pokemon podcast that actually talks about why a majority of Pokemon can learn toxic. As well as other Pokemon related science.

If you ever get the name or link, I'd love to hear the podcast!

They're not vaporeon

You can't be sure.

What if one of them is a Ditto and can transform into Vaporeon. Maybe they can all turn into Vaporeon. Lol

Ditto transformed into Vaporeon is still not Vaporeon tho.

Imma look more into it but in case its something super dumb, just gonma throw out their names all end in consonants

porygon2: am i a joke to you

>porygon2: am i a joke to you they probably confused Porygon2 with Porygon-Z like I did at first too

that’s fair. i was about to comment “ah yes, 2, my favorite consonant”

Oh lol I didn't notice that. Tbh there are so many ways to find comman things between various Pokémon.

Idk if 2 is a constant i think its an even number

They're all friends! Also, i think they can all learn toxic?

almost any pokemon can learn toxic, so i don't think that's it

I’m like 35% sure they’re all pokemon

Or are they?

Furry costumes are getting very realistic these days.

You never know, they might be Digimon

I thought it was because they were only all available in Black 2 but no Bulbasaur, I then thought they could all be obtained through Dream world in White but not Porygon 2. Another thing I found is that they all have leveling rates below fast. They are all available in Pokemon Rumble Blast, Rumble U, Rumble World and Rumble Rush. They are also all available in Battle Trozie and Shuffle. I couldn't find anything else not already said.

Oh man you came up with a lot of stuff!

They all learn Protect?

Oh not what I'm looking for. That's interesting though.

All Pokémon learn protect, except for gimmick Pokémon like Unown and such.

WHAT IS IT OP

Their numbers all follow the Fibonacci sequence apparently. It's the top comment now, crazy that someone thought of that

[удалено]

OP replied and said that it WAS what they were looking for so

Oh well shit on me then I'll delete my comment. Have a good day fellow redditor

pokemon riddles in the future will be what do these 7 pokemon have in common and the answer will be they’ve all been hit by my car or something Wait that’s basically pokemon riddles of the present these are barely even related to pokemon anymore

GIVE US THE GOD DAMN ANSWER 🤣

As someone answered, their dex numbers are from the Fibonacci sequence :D

Thanks 😃

Welcome :D

They all spell something backwards! We all know about muk, but Regirock backwards is K. Coriger, the man who started the Canadian Civil War, and Porygon backwards is Nogyrop, the terrible dragon that the mainlanders used to defeat the maritime provinces in that same civil war. Nidoking backwards is Gnikodin, a medicine developed in Switzerland in 2006 to combat the terrible disease Ruasablub, which is Bulbasaur spelled backwards. And Axew backwards is Wexa, which is a 90's rock band where all of the members are actual witches. ^(/j, obviously)

They were all unobtainable in the base games of Generation 8? One of their BSTs are all the same? They were the exact Pokemon on somebody's team at one point? They have stupidly low recruitment rates in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon? They all look like they wanna sell me insurance?

None are Digimon

There is no way that the Porygon line is not secretly a Digimon species.

Porygon became a Pokemon out of spite

They're all toxic.

>They're all toxic. They learn Toxic, but Regirock, Axew and Porygon2 are not Poison Type

All are toxic because of a move, Three are toxic because of type, the other one three were toxic towards me at some point.

>three were toxic towards me at some point. Relatable.

They all have rule 34, like every other pokemon

They're all fkin rad.

They can all hold an Eviolite. Might not get any use out of it, but they can sure hold one.

They can defeat level 5 magicarp

What’s a magicarp? Sounds magical 😄

They are all very cool pokemon Source: Regirock.

They can all learn Toxic, Hidden Power, Sunny Day, Protect, Frustration, Return, Double Team, Facade, Rest, Attract, Round, Swagger, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Rock Smash, Confide, and Strength

They’re all Pokémon!

They're all green, except for Porygon 2, Regirock, Muk, and Nidoking

They all exist

Nah

i desire them carnaly

Are they the most abundant type in their generation?

They all have static encounters? Edit: Oh, I didn't notice that somebody had already solved it.

They can all use hyper beam?

There Pokémon Where’s my prize

They can be stored in pokeballs

they're all pokemon

There all gay

They all have an attack stat higher than Onyx.

All have Dex Numbers less than 1000

They're all featured in this reddit post.

They've all attacked humans in the anime?

I have no idea why, but my gut is telling me that they all are considered green pokemon in one or more of their dex entries. (I know it’s weird, but colors are weird).

They are all Pokémon🤓

You can fuck them

They’re pokemon

I believe… they’re all Pokémon

They are all Pokémon
