Weather has been a key feature in the Pokemon franchise going all the way back since Pokemon Gold and Silver. Weather plays a key role in combat, with certain weather modifying or unlocking moves. Game Freak stepped up weather in Pokemon Sword and Shield, visually if not mechanically. That’s carried over into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, too, but Game Freak has decided to have a bit more fun with some of the weather options.

The video that was shared on Reddit is titled “Bro is gone” and that’s an apt description for what it shows. The player is rolling through the open world in the middle of a storm when they spot a Jigglypuff. They quickly turn their Koraidon toward the Jigglypuff, perhaps with the intention of catching it, when it becomes clear the Pokemon is in the middle of a nervous animation. Before the player can figure out what’s going on, the Jigglypuff is launched into the air and disappears in the distance.

What really drives home how funny the situation is can be found in the Reddit thread’s comments. The top reply says, “Jigglypuuuuuuuuuuuuuffffffffffffff! GAME!” which is a reference to Super Smash Bros. Most Super Smash Bros. players will be familiar with Jigglypuff missing a Rest attack, setting them up to be smashed off-stage. On second viewing, Jigglypuff getting blown away does look a lot like a Super Smash Bros. fight coming to its conclusion.

While some might assume that this is a glitch, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet community is agreeing that this is actually an example of an in-game mechanic. Certain lightweight Pokemon can be blown away, just like Jigglypuff, during Strong Winds. Don’t be surprised to see flying Pokemon depending on the weather.

The video clip is especially funny because of the layers to it. Whether it’s a Super Smash Bros. fight ending, a strange physics glitch for the new games, Pokemon anime Jigglypuff blasting off again with Team Rocket, or just a funny game mechanic Game Freak added as a surprise, Pokemon’s open world has never been more interesting to explore. Who knows what Pokemon trainers will stumble on next?

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are available now on Switch.
