Have you ever used a Weak Armor Kabutops before? This set is a lil gimmicky, but really fun when you pull it off. Combo Weak Armor and Endure with Weakness Policy to get the boosts, and use Flail which becomes like, a base 200 power attack at 1hp.

I’ve never used anything like that before but it sounds like a lot of fun

Not necessarily a question about Pokemon themselves, but a question about a held item, how does the Air Balloon held item manage to lift any Pokemon? even Pokemon like Groudon who weigh 2,094.4 lbs?

Good question. Balloons float through buoyancy. When a fluid (air, water, etc) is displaced, it will create an upward force equal to the weight of what was displaced. If an object is less dense than the fluid, this force will cause it to float. The bigger the ballooon, the more air it displaces and therefore the more weight it can lift. For Groudon to float, the balloon needs to displace at least 2,094.4 lbs (950 kg) of air. It will actually be a bit more than that, since we’d need to include the weight of the balloon.

For simplification, let’s assume this is on Earth at sea level. We actually know the pokemon world has less gravity than Earth, which would make Groudon easier to lift, but would also result in a thinner atmosphere which I don’t want to deal with for this post. Air has a density of 1.225 kg/m3 with sea-level Earth conditions. 

How much the balloon weighs will depend on what it is filled with: Helium, the standard for balloons, has a density of 0.1786 kg/m3. The lightest element, hydrogen, is 0.08988 kg/m3. 

Our “effective” density therefore the density of the air minus the density of the balloon, so 1.225-0.1786 = 1.0464 for Helium, or 1.225-0.08988 = 1.1352 for Hydrogen. 

Let’s start small, with Pikachu. Pikachu weighs 6.0 kg. For a balloon to replace enough air to lift pikachu, it needs to displace 6.0 kg of air. For helium, this is 6.0 / 1.0464 = 5.73 cubic meters of air. This would be a spherical balloon with a diameter of 2.22 meters across. Compared to pikachu’s height of 0.4 meters, a Pikachu holding a helium Air Balloon would look something like this:

Sparing you the calculations, a Hydrogen balloon would be 2.16 meters across: not a whole lot smaller. 

Now for Groudon! Just for fun let’s go all out and assume you have a red orb, so Primal Groudon weighs in at 999.7 kg! For Helium, 999.7 / 1.0464 = 955.37. Groudon’s balloon would have to displace 955.37 cubic meters of air! This balloon would be 12.22 meters in diameter. Primal Groudon is 5.0 meters tall: so it would look like this! (Ash for scale = 1.5 meters = 5 ft)

No wonder they burst so easily after the first attack. Thanks for your question!

Hey, sorry I donno how old that post is, but the band "██████" also go by "nic" (Czech for "nothing/null/none") So hope that helps.

That was a pretty old post, but I hadn’t found this out since I posted it, so thanks!
