I'm obsessed with pokemon doing just. weird animal things. A chatot trying to fight itself in the mirror. Flygon being a large weird lizard. Absol getting its scythe/horn stuck in things and needing to be rescued. Holding a torchic and moving it, seeing its head do the chicken thing. Furret being an absolute menace to society and stealing your socks to nest. Mr. Mime putting barriers around its food as a form of food guarding. Ninetales sleeping with its head tucked under its tails. Zigzagoon snuffling through the trash.

is it like abuse if i use my charmanders tail for.. lighting up .. some certain recreational objects & materials .. i mean i offer him a hit after. it seems fair

its perfectly fine to use a charmander to Light a blunt

no, you should probably not let your charmander take a hit. charmander lungs are build to be smoke-protective and are extremely hot, meaning inhalation wont induce a high

Falinks with Marching Band hats on each one?

My Mimikyu has been working hard and she even won her first major pokemon battle against a gymleader recently. I wanna give her a mini spa day as a way to destress. Any suggestions on what I should do?

In my experience, Mimikyu loves being pampered but are very fussy about giving up their Disguise to be cleaned. You also don’t want to see them without it on, so tugging gently on it and turning away a few times may be a good way to signal for them to disrobe. You should then leave a cardboard box, or small closed top cage for them to hide in and feel safe while you do so.

I always like to hand out bows or poffins or other trinkets to Mimikyu after good behavior as well!

I've seen some trainers stylize grass type leaves into their own design; like Chikorita's leaf into a heart. Does this not hurt the pokemon?? ):

So, in general, leaves and such are okay to cut on a Pokemon—the things you want to avoid trimming are vines and plants such as Torterra’s tree or Tropius’s, as that’s very painful for your Pokémon!

It’s unfortunately a very case-by-case basis and it’s better to research each pokemon you plan on doing this to individually than assume it’s safe.

are pokemon sentient enough that I could send my Scrafty to the store with a shopping list and money and he'd be allowed to shop by himself when he gets there

if psychic Pokemon glow like in the anime when they use their telekinesis or whatever I bet that like at least once a week their trainer sees them glowing with no floating item in sight and have to be like “WHAT ARE YOU FLOATING? WHAT DO YOU HAVE” like when your cat is chewing something you didn’t feed them

moonblast, extreme speed

Moonblast: Favorite Fairy types(s) Whimsicott! These little guys are adorable, although the cotton requires us groomers to break out the weird stuff we don't use very often. Unkempt Whimsicott fluff tends to attract all sorts of dirt and detritus, or even junk, and can overheat the poor things in the summer time. Plus, it just ruins their look as a bouncy puffball. Personally, I think you should never go more than 3 months without a cleaning. Extreme Speed: Favorite Normal types(s) Blissey! This is a pretty utilitarian pick, but they're naturally very helpful in just about any workplace, though many people probably know them as assistants in Pokemon centers. I've had quite a few Blissey to work with back when I volunteered with Rangers, and they are the most caring Pokemon you'll ever meet. Plus, Softboiled is SUCH a good nutritional thing for your other Pokemon. Skincare, immune system, etc etc.

My Sandyghast really loves water, but I find they make a huge muddy mess no matter how much or how little I give them. Any suggestions for alternatives? I think they just like destroying the bathroom....

Truth be told, this sounds like a disciplinary thing rather than an issue on your end. Don't fret! Ghost-types are naturally mischievous, but there's a line between playful and problematic behavior. There's no shame in consulting some coaches to get your Sandygast to correct their behavior. -D

I know it's natural for Shuckle to hide their food, but it's such a pain finding spoiled berry goop everywhere... I want to give my little guy treats but he makes it more difficult when I don't know if I'm going to find it later.

You can try to make food treats location-specific, like when outside or before entering a pokeball. If they try to stash it, at least it's outside!

There's not much to prevent the fermentation that happens naturally within Shuckle's carapace, though. Perhaps providing a basking area that they would prefer to spend time in would help keep mess concentrated within a designated space.

Hey! I got recommended you for tips on this subject, so uhh I have a Braixen who is trans-fem and gets super aggressive when people mistake her for a male. She also doesn’t rly like the way she looks. Do you have any tips for styling her fur to make it look more feminine? I’ve done my fair share of grooming, so I can do a lot, but I can’t get it to look just right for her, and the nearest stylist is in Snowbelle, and she hates the snow. Even just book recommendations would be nice if you could.

This is a puzzle for sure. There’s not much in the way of dimorphism between the members of the Delphox line, so any styling choices you make will be your pokemon’s preference. Things to consider:

1.) Does your Braixen want to evolve? An everstone is an easy choice while you go over options with your pokemon.

2.) What pokemon have similar fur types, and how do other people style those? (Flareon and zoroark have a longer, softer coat, but pokemon like growlithe or arcanine have varying coat lengths and textures, even among individuals.)

3.) Accessories go a long way! A lot of “mean-looking” pokemon I’ve known will become depressed when trainers and other pokemon make assumptions and avoid them. A flower, ribbon, scarf, etc are all ways for your pokemon to feel confident as an individual!

what would you recommend for pokemon with long talons? my sneasel is very clingy, but im also tired of all the scrapes 😩

I suggest mittens first because they’re cuter, but ice skate covers could also work.
