Oh, uh, sure! Anon who suggested ways someone could trigger a Hisuian Evolution here.

I must’ve pitched that a month or two ago…

Y’see. I take most of my inspiration from a combination of the anime and games. If a Pokemon from the same species can teach what’s normally egg moves (let alone move tutors), then it should stand to reason that Pokémon can be taught it like a normal move too. It’d make no sense of Pokemon without the gene to know it, can technically learn it from humans—cannot learn it otherwise. Plus, I really like fanfics/stories that focus on unused details in Dex entries (Twisted Garden, Erika AU—Pinnacle Platinum), those that look at a Pokémon’s physical attributes to where they should be able to learn a move (fangs = should be able to learn Bite, To Live is To Dream Spacebattles, Ambit), and those who make their own custom moves (Pinnacle Platinum again and To Live is To Dream).

I feel like there are so many options most people won’t consider because they follow the game rules too strictly. The Hisuian Evolutions are mostly locked to Hisui, with some being available in ScarVio. But some like H. Lilligant and H Avalugg are game locked. Pokémon are more resilient than animals and it isn’t so far fetched wild ones have different methods to evolve. There are wild Gengar, Alakazam, Magmortar, Electivire, etc…

Some evolutions—like Goomy to the shelled Steel-Dragon Hisuian Sliggoo feels like more than simply exposing them to iron rich water is required. Hisuian Goodra and Kalosian Goodra fight in entirely different ways technically. So again, a more defensive mindset in Goomy combined with a move like Acid Armor to give it a base to go in. Feels like a potential breakthrough.

I guess call me 🧪Poke-Science Anon?

Poke-Science Anon, anon come here, you are so fucking perfect and this ask is 10/10 perfection.

Headcanon:

Raihan and Ash have matching couples t-shirts...with a twist:

Raihan: Ask me about my boyfriend!

Ash: Do so at your peril. He is a simp.

I Headcannon that Raihan also has a job of a historian as the Hammerlocke stadium doubles as a gym but also a library of Galar’s history and restoration of old artifacts.

So he uses his love for books as a way to change his language to wax poetry about Ash akin to a galarian victorian man waxing poetry about his incoming bride.

Ash is just standing to the side looking exasperated in a loving way and blandly telling the person “I told you so.”

So regional Dragon type specialists right, youd think that they are the most put together based on their public appearances on TV and online right? Wrong

Lance keeps everything professional but behind closed doors or when nobody is watching he is an absolute menace, regularly spars hand-to-paw/claw with his pokemon (yes even his Hydregon and it thinks its funny whenever it fakes him out) this man also has the tendancy to seemingly teleport behind people especially during his G-Man work (ie Rocket Grunt thinks their safe and the next minute they know theyre being german suplexed by a red haired man in a cape like he's Batman or something)

Drake is an enigma being the oldest acting Hoenn League member but nobody really knows much about him (the man barely makes any live appearances and any League challengers over the past 20 years havent even gotten past his Flygon except for Steven of course) nobody knows where he lives or where he even came from (they ask and every single time they get a different awnser with the strangest being Poni Island, nobody knows how old he is and speculates that he is immortal) Briney knows everything about him and refuses to tell because its both hilarious and also just a straight up cognito hazard and will not elaborate

Draydon is relatively normal until back when he and Alder were young Alder saw him deadlifting a boulder with zero effort (the guy is insanely strong) people do speculate that he and Drake might be related and he refuses to dispute or prove it, the beard however is just gravity defying and what makes it worse is that he doesnt use gel or anything its just like that with no explanation (funnily enough he holds back in all of his battles and if he didnt he could easily become champion, Iris took after that energy and evicerated everything in her path while wearing her magical girl champion costume)

Drasna generally keeps to herself but she likes to piss off Seibold on occasion and sics him on paparazzi when she gets bored (usually in the form of 'oh dear it looks like youre getting review bombed again' followed by very angry mega blastoise noises and the loudest Kalosian swearing you can imagine) she was at one point a poison specialist with her Dragalge but partially moved away from it (she still has an insanely overpowered Naganadel that nobody knows where or when she got it)

Raihan knows just about anything you could ask for, need to know the history of the Turffield Rock Formations? He knows it at the top of his head, where to find a super specific type of phone charger? Wyndon Stadium Kiosk on the 45th floor the red ones suck get the yellow ones, Where to get a Japanese dub of Space Buddies? Spikemuth district apartment complex 3rd floor knock on the 4th door say you want butter noodles and the guy will slide you a copy on a burnt DVD, Where the hell is Leon? Put an air tag on his cape last year Leon is currently lost in a pocket dimension being taunted by a small green onion fairy (Raihan also has several alt accounts that just post anywhere from doing handmade cosplay weapons to baking to somehow a podcast with Clemont and Iono about the importance of RGB gamer light PC setups while neither of them know its him)

Everything about this ask that has graced my inbox is an automatic yes.

Lance having to spend a fortune on clothes and going through wardrobe after wardrobe because his clothes get torn by his play flighting/work out. Also having a little whiteboard on the fridge at the gym-men head quarters or at the elite four castle with “how many Rocket Grunts Lance has suplexed this month.” On it with the score.

The entire Hoenn league begs Mr.Briney to divulge information about Drake and he’s tight lipped. Steven has even worse luck since Drake keeps giving him “my paperwork’s already been filed when I started this position, it doesn’t need to be fixed or filed in any different way.” And said file is so officially redacted by a past Champion that has now sadly passed.

Somehow and somewhere hidden very strategically, there are polaroid photo’s of Drayden doing lunges across a gym with him holding Alders in a fireman carry when they were both young. There might be a video as well that may or may not have been accidentally lost in a city by the Champion and got snatched up off the street later in the day. Sitting somewhere in some poor persons drunk drawer because they saw a cute cam corder that doesn’t properly work anymore.

Drasna is totally scheming when it comes to Seibold. There’s always a little prank she’s writing down on scrap papers during long meeting or waiting for challengers to come through the elite four. Picking on her coworker and getting away with it is her favorite pass time.

Raihan is a walking encyclopedia on almost anything and everything. He gets text messages not only from the other dragon trainers in the leagues but also almost everyone else, including Clemont on the rare occasion, and he always takes time to respond back with either a link to a website with proper information or to craft a well knowledge text message.
