Hubert von Vestra Pokemon lore under the cut

Most of Hubert's Pokemon were sought out with a specific purpose in mind, rather than him happening to find them, so their descriptions will kinda reflect that.

Beheeyem (Bertrand): Since psychic type Pokemon are so useful in day to day life, members of house Vestra are charged with finding and catching one to become their first partner. Hubert found his Elgyem in the dark corridors beneath the Imperial palace, unknowing at the time that he was actually there due to the presence of Those Who Slither In The Dark. Hubert makes very good use of Anthony's ability to manipulate memories in his many efforts to assist Edelgard from the shadows, though has found little success in using these powers to restore Edelgard's missing memories.

Crobat (Cornelius): After Edelgard was taken by TWSITD, Hubert's investigations led him to believe she was being kept beneath the palace, in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath. To aid his search(which unfortunatley proved fruitless in the end), he caught a Zubat. His Supersonic and Mean Look moves are favored by Hubert when he wants to capture someone alive.

Gengar (Garrik): Garrik is always kept outside of his Pokeball, hiding in Hubert's shadow, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Hubert is particularly fond of the paralysis side effect of his Lick attack. It did not escape Hubert's notice that he found such a newly formed Ghastly beneath the palace, so soon after Edelgard and her siblings were spirited away.

Magnezone (Morrigan): She was found acting as a sentry for TWSITD, and was captured by Hubert for later study. She showed aptitude for battle, and a willingness to follow orders. Since she is such a rare Pokemon in Foldlan, being found exclusively near members of TWSITD and in Shambhala, Hubert uses her very selectively in battle: to throw his enemies off balance, since nobody knows how to counter a Pokémon from this line.

Seviper (Sylvia): Wanting a convenient source of poison, Hubert caught Sylvia. When she is not assisting Hubert with his alchemy, she is patrolling around Edelgard, eating any Rattata or Raticate she can find.

Cacturne (Cain): Caught simply to balance out his party, Hubert has since found many many uses for the durable pins Cain's Pin Missile attack produces.
