[This video is a very short one, and Luke also looks annoyed in this one.

The reason is pretty apparent, because this is basically what's on your screen.]

WHY DO THE SHEEP PRODUCE STATIC?!

[And then he turns it off to go rant and attempt to de-floof his hair.]

Because wool conducts electricity.

[A pause.]

Plus they're an electric-type Pokemon.

[fony]

It does? That makes sense...

[He's not familiar with the properties of wool at all.]

But Growlithe is a fire-type and I can pet mine without her burning me.

Static electricity is more natural. I've managed to shock my other Pokemon who aren't electric type just from the dryness in the air.

Dryness in the air? I didn't know that could cause static.

[This might be a good thing to remember in case he ever needed to discipline his team. Or just to annoy other people.]

It's mostly just a problem during winter. Less humidity in the air or something.

[fony]

Oh. I'll try to remember that.

...That sounds like it might be fun, though. Zapping people on purpose.

[And then a realization that the Mareep might've done it on purpose.]

I would advise against it.
