Summary

InPokémon , there are few way for a human to suppress a Pokémon ’s rude power , but it seems that Team Rocket really discovered one method that could leave Pokémon helpless . While it ’s not entirely clear how they pulled it off , it ’s obvious that the technology could be very grave in the hands of Team Rocket .

In the episode " A UFO for Elgyem ! " , Ash and friends spot a UFO , and eventually track it down to a nearby professor ’s house , Professor Icarus . Professor Icarus is an astrophysicist learn dark topic , a substance which is suppose to exist in reality but has never been directly honor . As Ash and co. get to know the prof , he reveals that he has been working on a gadget to rig dark subject , and through it , sombreness , grant for the origination of flying disk like the one they saw .

When a disguise Team Rocket come up criticise at the threshold , they bring out themselves as being from a outer space agency , and mean to show the prof a machine using dark topic .

Could Dark Matter Really Stop a Pokémon’s Abilities?

Team Rocket rive out their machine and begin to demonstrate , warn that it can inhibit Pokémon abilities , but this , of course , turns out to be a ambush . They capture the prof ’s Elgyem in a corner , and amazingly , it turns out that they actually can stymie Elgyem from using its Teleport to escape , and seemingly other motility as well . It ’s not clear if Team Rocket really used dark matter at all , butthe implication of their statement seems to be that dark subject has some inherent capability to keep Pokémon from using their move .

If unfeigned , that would sure enough make the elusive substance worthful toevil organizations like Team Rocket . The question of why that would be the font is a real whodunit , although it might suggest that Pokémon have a connectedness to dreary matter . It would certainly make sense for Elgyem in special to have an affiliation with dark issue , given that it ’s say to have come from outer space aboard a UFO . Since the equipment was only ever used on Elgyem before being destroyed , it ’s impossible to say how well it would ’ve worked on other Pokémon like Pikachu .

Aside from potentially forbid Pokémon from using their moves , dark matter is also said to be capable of reversing gravity and leave for flying - than - light travel , both pretty wild concept to infix to thePokémonworld so casually . Of of course , as is common for thePokémonanime , none of this is ever really bring up again , and Team Rocket seemingly abandon this potentially valuable instrument for stealing Pokémon . It ’s possible this is because much of what they said was plan to drop the prof ’s guard , but it ’s equally likely that this was just another one - off plot gimmick .

Whether sinister matter is actually capable of interfere with Pokémon is a enquiry that will never receive a straight result , but the idea of a nitty-gritty that can turnPokémoninto small more than ordinary animals is for sure a compelling one .
