#Sphinx and Respit having matching espeon and umbreon is such a cute idea to me

[canisbeasts-ooc]

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since the idea popped up in my head so:

Pokémon that fit the grumblr ocs, be that thematically, practically, or just cause they feel like they fit! :>

Sphinx and Respit

Lykoii and Styrss

Calbhach

Extra thoughts under the cut

Okay so this is only a portion of the Pokémon I think would fit each character, but here’s a few notes I wanna share:

Sphinx: I love the idea of her having intimidating and terrifying Pokemon, just like how she has a love for terrifying lusii. I imagine a lot of the pokemon she has are ex-battlers or stuff along those lines. The Starmie is also specifically cause of the fact she lives closer to a body of water. Chimecho is there cause she loves bells and little chiming noises, and I think it’d be a very cute partner pokemon! The Samurott is shiny cause it’s an otter-like pokemon and the white matches lusii :].

Respit: He naturally has a lot of plant/garden based pokemon and I think it’s fun :D The Jumpluff may have originally been a Hoppip gifted to him by Sphinx! The Grafaiai admittedly feels out of place but it just feels like it fits, and I like Respit having a poison type. The Dubwool is obvious given Sheepmom and the lamb associations, while the Mudbray and Dwebble kinda fit into general pokemon I think he would work very well with and could help out in the garden!

Lykoii: Okay. I could not help from giving the purple/violet cat guy some cute cat-like pokemon. The Sylveon would probably come about later once he kinda accepts himself more and heals a little bit, doesn’t come until at least he would be into the game or such. The Naclstack just feels right, something that grounds him. I couldn’t help from putting the mew as a cute little cat with some space associations due to Arceus and such. Same with the Minior. I think the Psychic types also work well with his later connection to Calixtus, as a Judge of mind. The Decidueye just felt like it fits, and I think it’s nice to have both him and Sphinx have shiny Hisuian starters together.

Styrss: It’s very obvious she has a fair bit of theming around death and how that affects life, and her team reflects that a lot! I thought the shiny Brambleghast and Morelull just looked very nice and fit better with her being shiny, but her physical isolation may also mean that vulnerable ‘mon might feel a bit safer, idk! The Forretress just feels like it fits, that’s just hers! Plus, I think it’s Pokédex entries about being rooted in one spot and safe in its little dwelling fit Styrss a lot too. Bonsly is kinda there cause you can’t have death without life, and also I think Styrss would like another silly little critter there beside Morelull.

Calbhach: ooooh boy :]. First off, as a lord of light I thought it was a pretty pretty fun idea to give him bright pokemon, and the idea of shinies having a sort of, well, shininess, lends really well to that. A lot of his pokemon are yellow and pink, yellow both for his aspect of light and his sibling Calfuray, and pink for Calixtus. I find it very nice how with the intersection of the shininess and his sibling’s colors, most of these Pokemon are blue or cool toned originally, only taking on the yellows and pinks when shinied. He has a lot of object pokemon both because I think it fits him well with his whole unrelenting scientific force thing, but also cause I think in a way, even if only subconsciously, he wouldn’t allow himself to have many comfortable things, he has more important things to tend to, in his opinion. Even still, his Pokémon would be very well cared for. It’s very clear his dear Pokemon have never been battlers of any sort. Ultimately, he will try his best to fight, and lose, his battles alone. Also, I couldn’t put it here cause there were only so many slots but he absolutely has a shiny pinkish-colored Absol too :>
