Hi folks,

Some of you may have heard about the spread of invasive bug type Pokémon in Southwest Hoenn. We here at the Rangers wanted to give you all the information you need to know about these invasive species, and what we’re doing to help.

The invasive Pokémon in question are several Kantonian bug types: Paras, Weedles, and Caterpies are the most notable. They have been starting to appear in notable numbers around Petalburg woods.

Historically, when non-native Pokémon suddenly appear in large number, it is typically due to illegal mass transportation or dumping of that Pokémon. Senior Ranger David is currently assisting an investigation into the origin of this wave of bug types.

The reason why these Pokémon can be threats to our local ecosystems is how they compete with existing bug and grass types for food, potentially cutting their populations. Additionally, the poisonous Weedle line and the parasitic Paras line can permanently harm or kill natural predators of bug types that are not familiar with these invasive species.

Here’s what we are doing, and what you can help with:

We need to reduce the population count of these three species in Southwest Hoenn. Ideally, this would be done by capturing these Pokémon with Pokéballs, so that we can then relocate them back to their proper habitats in Kanto.

We would also like to call upon local trainers to help protect our environment. Any trainers who deliver Weedle, Paras, and Caterpie line Pokémon to the Ranger station in Petalburg Woods will be rewarded for every 10 Pokémon they catch, as well as a special gift for whoever manages to catch and deliver the most.

Happy hunting!

-Ranger Kara, Petalburg Station

Hi folks,

We’d like to apologize for the above post. It turns out that Novice Ranger Riley had spent the past week befriending the Rotom that we have been taking care of in our Mauville office, and got it to leak my password for our blog to him.

The password has been changed, and we promise that no such childish errors will happen again.

Rotom has been banned from playing in my computer.

Attention everyone near Slateport City and Route 110:

We have confirmed, thanks to the help of Ranger Kara, that the local Spheal will be migrating back into the oceans near Slateport over the next week. They will be rolling down the hills to head to Slateport Beach, and will be going at VERY FAST speeds.

Please, be careful around the hills near Slateport for the next week, lest a Spheal bounds down the hill and knocks you over.

Stay safe!

We’re not sure who needs to hear this, but if you wander into the untamed parts of routes, or other locations where wild Pokémon thrive, you should expect and be prepared for an encounter with an aggressive Pokémon.

It does not matter what route you are on.

It does not matter how sneaky you are being.

It does not matter if you don’t have Pokémon.

That is the Pokémon’s habitat. They will DEFEND IT.

If you are a certain professor that is prone to conducting research on a nearby route before getting chased by packs of Poochyena, please consider taking repels with you before conducting such an expedition.

We asked all our Rangers what one thing they wished all trainers knew, and here’s the answer!

Rangers would like Trainers to be aware of what their Pokémon are doing at all times when let outside of their ball. Direct supervision isn’t always necessary, but it is essential to keep an eye on your Pokémon when you let them roam, especially in wild areas.

Unsupervised Pokémon may become ambushed by wild Pokémon in tall grass, so take care to be near your teammates in such locations.

Or, if you are Ranger Tripp, you need to stay near your Pokémon because your Vaporeon will start eating handfuls of Magikarp if left alone.

Please be aware: it seems that somebody has purposefully released a large hoard of Tauros around the Northern entrance of Rustboro City. There are at least 10 Tauros rampaging on the road, blocking traffic to and from the city.

Rangers are on their way to relocate the Tauros and reopen the road. However, Senior Ranger David would like to make it clear that the Hoenn Rangers will not aid the investigation for the perpetrator of this crime in any way. This is because criminal investigation is not a required service of the Rangers, nobody was injured as a result of the prank, and “Those Rustboro desk jockeys deserved it.”

Senior Ranger David voiced other opinions on Rustboro that we elected not to include in this notice.

Fun Facts About Mt. Chimney!

Mt. Chimney is an iconic feature of Hoenn's geography, and also proves to be a unique challenge for the Rangers of the Region. Here are some quick fun facts about the volcano!

1: Mt. Chimney is the largest volcano in the world! The peak stands at 5,140 feet above sea level, and has a radius of 120 feet.

2: The hot springs of Lavaridge Town are heated by underground networks of magma that come from Mt. Chimney. Make sure to thank the volcano next time you head to the springs to unwind.

3: The last time Mt. Chimney erupted was about 250 years ago. Researchers in Fallarbor know this by studying the formation of the layers of rock surrounding the volcano, and through some of the many meteorites that can be found on the mountain.

4: The ash that the volcano constantly emits may have useful properties for Pokémon! Scientists believe that the ash could be used as a key ingredient in a defensive item that could be given to Pokémon to use in battles. Research into this theoretical item is happening right now!

5: Mt. Chimney is home to no less than 35 species of Pokémon! From the ashy grass at the base of the mountain, to the lava pools at the peak, this landmark of Hoenn is simply packed with all sorts of monsters that prefer the heat. All of those Pokémon is why we have our very own Ranger Pike stationed up the side of the mountain, ensuring that the Regional Park and the Pokémon that call it home are given the treatment they deserve.

If you would like to learn more about Mt. Chimney, visit our website, or give Ranger Pike a visit at his station on the mountain! He is well-versed in the history of the volcano, and would love to give out some lessons.

Remember to not have any pools of standing water around your property! Stagnant water can attract all sorts of Pokémon that you might not want to deal with, namely Vibravas and Surskits.

Especially with the current heat wave in Hoenn, these Pokémon will be looking for any water they can call home.

If you do run into unwanted wild Pokémon on your property, call the Rangers and we will be happy to relocate the critter for you.

Hi Trainers,

This is a reminder to pick up your broken Safari Balls while you are in the Safari Zone. We understand that it can be easy to forget to clean up after yourself when you’re frantically catching Pokemon, but the heaps of Safari Balls left over in the Zone are detrimental to both the Pokémon that live there, and the Trainers that need to run through there as fast as possible without tripping and falling.

They are not only unsightly, but also a safety hazard. Additionally, repeated failure to pick up used Safari Balls will result in a ban from the Zone.

Please, keep the Safari Zone clean!

A pod of Wailord have been spotted off the coast of Dewford today! Based on our research from prior years, this pod is about to migrate from West Hoenn to East Hoenn, in the depths close to Ever Grande Island. They should be staying in the shallows of Dewford for the next week or so before undergoing the rest of their journey.

If you would like to get closer to the Wailord for a better view of them, please do not use a boat with an engine. The noise and pollution of the motors is irritating to Wailord. Kayaks, sailboats, and Pokémon that use Surf are all great alternatives that don’t pollute the water.

Have fun Wailord watching!

Hi folks,

We received an eye witness report of a man flying above Slateport City, who was using two Magnemite, one attached to each of his feet via rope, in order to fly. The report claims that he screamed “I am the greatest engineer of our time” over and over while circling above the city.

Can any of our followers confirm this testimony? Besides being completely and utterly ridiculous, this story, if it is true, is irresponsibly dangerous and highly illegal: it is Pokémon abuse. If anyone can attest to the veracity of this outlandish statement, please update us as soon as possible so that we can search for the moron that did this.

Folks, if you see a Ranger off the side of a hiking trail, covered in leaves and observing wild Pokémon, it should go without saying that you need to leave that Ranger alone.

Do not talk to them.

Do not ask them what they’re doing.

Please, for Arceus’ sake, don’t throw a rock at the Pokémon they are studying.

In unrelated news, Ranger Kara would like any information you may have about a group of teenagers that visited Petalburg Woods this afternoon. She just wants to have a chat with them.

Novice Ranger Riley wanted us to remind you that tomorrow will be the last Lilycove Beach Surf Competition of the season! Sign ups are open until the start of the competition tomorrow, at noon. There will be both human and Pokémon categories.

We wanted to thank Novice Ranger Riley for acting as the main judge for the event, and for waking me up at 4 AM this morning to make a post on our official social media for a personal project that has nothing to do with the Rangers. Very cool!

Public Service Announcement:

Do NOT feed your Aggron metal. They CANNOT digest it. We’ve all seen that TikTok video, and we know you want to try it out too. Don’t. Please. Seriously. It is incredibly dangerous for them

If the Mauville Pokémon Center gets one more case of an Aggron with indigestion they WILL kill the trainer that did it. Take care of yourself and your Pokémon.

We recommend reaching out to your local Pokémon Center before making any changes to your friend’s diet.
