ok i havent played usum in ages and i never got this cutscene myself. but iirc a month after you complete the game a special cutscene appears in aether paradise where lusamine is able to bid goodbye to mohn and get some closure on that

i want something like that for a bw remake. after a month in the castle, n realizes hey actually this sucks. if i want to find my friend i have to do more than just sit around and hope they find me. so you the player take him to find cheren and bianca for help, both making friends with them and rekindling their own friendship.

Hello :)! Sorry to bother, but i’ve been looking for advice on how to care for pokémon eggs, and then newly hatched pokémon… I saw you two work with pokémon, so I was wondering if you could spare some advice?

If it’s any help, I think it’s a Litleo egg, since my partner’s Pyroar found it. We have it snuggled up with our Pyroar but like. When it hatches, do we have to do extra things to care for it, or will its parent handle that? Do we have to catch it?

Sorry, these are probably very basic questions, but any help would be much appreciated ^-^!

- Connor ( @antirrhinums-de-lis )

First we would like to clarify that we are not any kind of licensed rehab; all advice offered here is strictly non-professional.

So. The good news is, if Pyroar has already taken an interest in caring for the egg, that will make things much easier on you in many regards. You won't have to worry about incubation, and the hatchling should learn things like species-appropriate social skills, play behavior, and fire control from its parent.

However, since it appears Pyroar is a male, you will likely have to take charge of feeding the hatchling. Hatchling feeding schedules are very species-specific, so you will have to have to look up specific care guides. Feeding newborn hatchlings often involves waking up at ungodly hours of the night. Just...be prepared for that.

As for the species: Litleo is a strong possibility, but given that you don't know for sure where the egg came from, it is not a given. Even if Pyroar is the father, Pokémon are more likely to be their mother's species, so you could technically speaking end up with anything in the Field egg group. (Not with equal likelihood, local availability and interspecies dynamics influence what's actually probable, but that is not a formula we're prepared to solve.) If Pyroar is not the father, and it brought home an unrelated egg, then you could end up with anything under the sun.

As for catching it: technically you never have to catch any Pokémon. However, if you want it to be legally yours, you will either need to catch it or have it registered to your trainer ID at the Pokémon Center, and if you decide you are going to rehome it it will be easiest if it has a Pokéball.

Finally: the Pokémon Center is your best friend here. They can assess the egg to determine a likely species, and they have many more resources on egg and hatchling care than we can offer. The hours for your local Center's trainer resource helpdesk should be listed online, and recently some larger Centers have given the option to ask questions by text instead of in person or over the phone.

While writing my larvesta facts, I found an old Unova story about Larvesta stealing the light of the sun and evolving into Volcorona. And now I wanna see more stories. Anyone got some Unova fairytale recommendations?

Hi my friend! May I please request headcanons of Kiawe x Unovian!gn!reader who has a team consisting of a servine and "cute" pokemon? Like eevee, Minccino, skitty etc? Thank you!!

(it's been so long since I've done a Pokémon ask!! very exciting <3)

If you're from Unova, Alola would be a pretty big change of scenery for you. The bustling cityscape is replaced by beautiful beaches, so of course you want to explore!

I imagine you run into Kiawe somewhere on Akala Island, maybe on his family's farm or Wela Volcano Park. Either way, he'd notice that you're not from Alola. This would lead to you guys conversing for a bit, with Kiawe being intrigued about your experiences in Unova.

He'd offer to take you around Akala Island, which you agree to! He introduces you to a bunch of Akala Island staples and tells you a bit about Alola, like its myths.

It's really nice talking with Kiawe because he's a pretty chill guy despite how passionate he is. Plus, he's cute! And it's pretty obvious that he thinks you're cute too. He initially found you interesting since you're not from Alola, but talking to you in depth also makes him appreciate you as a person.

Eventually, your conversations flow to Pokémon. You guys talk about your teams, with Kiawe mentioning his preference for fire-type Pokémon that can dance. You mention how your team is filled with Pokémon that you find cute.

Kiawe is really interested in seeing your cute Pokémon! Contrary to what some people may think, Kiawe really likes cute Pokémon, especially Pokémon that seem warm and fluffy.

He'd find mincinno really cute and think that it's a really useful Pokémon to have since it's so good at cleaning! Skitty and its slightly air-headed tendencies would make Kiawe smile fondly. But he'd love your eevee the most! Since eevee can evolve into a fire-type Pokémon, I would imagine that Kiawe would be interested in having one himself. If you two end up spending more time together/dating, Kiawe would definitely get his own eevee and evolve it into a flareon.

If you date him, he'd dote on your Pokémon often, giving them lots of treats! He's not used to grass types like servine, but he'd consult Mallow so he can treat servine the best he can.

Once you guys move in together, Kiawe would (1) be a bit of a blanket hog (before throwing the blankets off of both of you and onto the floor) and (2) would loooove cuddling with your Pokémon in bed. Skitty has a spot between the two of you where it can curl up. Servine would be at the foot of the bed. Your eevees would be curled up near your heads. Mincinno would sleep elsewhere because I imagine it to be a bit of a diva that likes its personal space.

Regardless, Kiawe would adore your Pokémon a lot and would be really sweet to them! Very husband material <:

JACKALOPE N HARMONIA

New autism mission : Make my favorite characters into folklore and mythical creatures

I don't know what creatures I can do for Zinzolin, Rood, Colress or Alder yet, if you have any ideas please share it ! :)

Creatures details and explanations below the cut !

Melony

Melony is a gargoyle ! I chose this creature because it's a french construction detail on churches, and Mel is kalossian. As architecture details, they are meant to get rid of the water on the roof, and it is a representation of them "vomiting sins out of the church".

Gargoyles usually has monstruous appearances, and historians think that their role is to protect the church they were built on. I think it fits Mel pretty well as a Plasma grunt and as Ghetsis #1 fan. Despite the church being rotten and falling apart (that's Ghetsis), Mel will always stick by it and try to defend it because it has become his life goal.

It is believed later gargoyles were meant to make fun of the sinful parts of society. The connection with how Ghetsis tries to maintain all of his little pawns pure and pristine is just too good, man

Also like... Religious cult Plasma... Corrupted church... symbolism too good, man

Ghetsis

Ghetsis is a greek sphinx ! I thought he needed a very impressive and well-known worldwide creature. He is manipulative and cruel, and in most stories, the sphinx strangles and devoures people when they can't answer her riddles.

The sphinx, when bested, usually ends herself in most versions. In the same way, what destroys Ghetsis is his very own ambition and pride, meaning himself. Design-wise, his hair are shaped in a mane-like style (it is not a mane, the sphinx doesn't have one), because he tries to emulate a real lion.

He has feathered wings, but they are literaly just biological cosmetic, and he can't fly with them. Having him have classic "angelic" features but being unable to use them was satisfying for my over-analytic autism. He tries so much to be this figure of purity and perfection, mightier even than the King himself, and he fails so bad in the end.

N

N is a jackalope, an american creature, as N is unovan ! The myth goes in a lot of directions, but I chose the "imitiation of human voice" direction. A lot of things around N are based around imitation (He is the imitation of a King but was never the true mastermind, his Pokémon line is meant to mimic other Pokémons, he himself struggles around other humans, he attempts to emulate Ghetsis' imposing aura when he plays his role as the King...).

Plus Jackalopes are said to be pretty dangerous, despite their appearance. I love that N conceals the danger he represents under a simple appearance (my man doesn't look like a King) like a jackalope, while Ghetsis goes all out on the prophet swag, and is represented by a sphinx (a winged lion beast).

N also was at the time the only "rival" to acquiere a literal legendary as his main Pokémon and add it to his team, making him probably one of the most dangerous person in Unova team-wise.

Dardanne

Dardanne is a matagot ! Also called "money cat" in french, it's a creature from french folklore (Dar being kalossian). Usually these creatures are associated with witchcraft and looks like fully black cats. It is said that, if you take great care of your matagot, it will bring you solid gold coins every morning. However, if neglected, it will take a violent and cruel revenge on its master. I think it fits Dardanne when he is in Plasma. His small stature and wide eyes give off the impression that he is inoffensive, but he was selected as N's journey partner because he was one of the top grunts during training. Dardanne being a grunt, Ghetsis would be his hypothetical master, and funnily enough, it's Dar and N's combined actions during the journey that start Ghetsis' downfall.

Conclusion : Ghetsis enrolls young teenager Dar -> Ghetsis abuses Dar -> Dar turns his son gay in matagot revenge -> Ghetsis takes several Ls

Another fun thing is that, to adopt a matagot, you have to prey for it for several nights, then lure it with food, and then carry it home without looking back during the journey home. Ghetsis quite literally found a runaway Dardanne while prolling for new recruits, knew he was a vulnerable child with no home and no food, and lured him to join Plasma in exchange of a place to stay and daily meals. Bro literally cursed himself with this one

The Circle of Arceus Doesn't Need Modern Legendaries

(Source: Centro Leaks)

That's right, it's time for me to post a theory about this.

A lot of people are pointing out that this diagram is obsolete simply because there's been five more regions of legendaries since it was made and it's been...almost 20 years. I think that's only partly true. It actually holds up surprisingly well in modern Pokemon.

GameFreak definitely tried to get away from the whole "legendaries are gods" thing after Gen IV, mostly because where do you go after Arceus? So you don't get a lot of newer legendaries involved in the creation of the Pokemon world.

Plus, GameFreak used to have these random moments where they worried about continuity. Why do we need incense to evolve the Baby Pokemon from Sinnoh? You think players are going to complain that Munchlax should've hatched in Johto? Well, you might be right...but still.

That might be why a lot of newer legendaries have an alibi that explains why they weren't in the Pokemon World when it was created. Many of them were either in Space, or "Ultra" Space:

The Orignal Dragon of Unova

The Cosmog Line

Necrozma

Eternatus

By the way, some professor really should look into the reason so many incredibly dangerous space dragons are just dropping into the Pokemon world.

Then there's legendaries that are strong in the context of their story, and some are even worshiped, but they're more like regional gods and myths.

The Swords of Justice

The Tapus

The Legendary Heroes

Kubfu Line

Calyrex and His Steeds

The Paradox Duo

The Treasures of Ruin

Ogerpon

Most modern mythicals unfortunately fall hard into this category, to the point that some are literally just a monkey, Zarude. Actually, there's no need to list the others. You get the idea.

But who does fit the circle?

That leaves the Aura Trio, the Forces of Nature, and...Terapagos. In my opinion, these legendaries would be right at home in the circle. The Aura Trio deals in life and death, which is pretty major.

That Yggdrasil inspiration would make the Aura Trio right at home on the tree of life from the beta origin story. You know, that "giant tree of life" that Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre broke apart, that turned into the sky, earth, and ocean?

The three gathered in a circle and prayed, and the seed sprouted. The sprout quickly grew, and became the giant tree of life. However, the tree continued to grow, soon filling the entire world, and no one was able to move.

(...) RAYQUAZA wrapped its body around the tree of life. GROUDON and KYOGRE slammed their bodies into the tree of life. Eventually, the tree fell and broke into three pieces.

REI, AI, and HAI prayed, saddened that the tree would rot away like this. Then, the pieces of the broken tree would transform into the sky, earth, and ocean. RAYQUAZA became the pillar that holds the sky.

(Source: Centro Leaks)

Yeah, now I'm thinking the Aura Trio are more of a second try at this whole tree of life thing at GameFreak. Because the whole "Rayquaza wrapped its body around the tree" gives me major Yggdrasil vibes. Surprise Pokemon theorists, Nidhogg isn't Zygarde...it's Rayquaza!

Rayquaza did Ragnarok!

But some people think the Aura Trio are aliens who came to earth on the meteor that the Anistar City Moondial was made from, so that would explain why the Aura Trio aren't in the circle. After all, the Unovan Original Dragon came from a meteor just one generation earlier.

There's also the alleged "original story" rumor for XY that claimed that XY was originally about aliens. The Teraleak probably has something to say about that. So the jury's out about the Aura Trio - they could belong in the circle, but they might be aliens.

(Wait, the rumor was that the alien plot was cut for time? As in, it would have been included (and maybe made less "weird") if they didn't rush? So is THAT was what in Southern Kalos...)

Or maybe my theory is wrong. Deoxys is on the outer layer of the circle after all. Maybe Arceus doesn't discriminate against aliens, they just have to stay on the outer layer. It's not that much of a difference either way - there's plenty of room on the outer layer with the other mythicals. I'm talking about the head honchos really.

The Forces of Nature probably belong on the circle, if we're being honest. They kind of clash with the Legendary Birds' role in the mythos as "weather" gods, but they should be on there.

Lastly...Terapagos is an enigma when it comes to this whole post. It might be more powerful than Eternatus, since "tera" is more power than "giga", right? It's so much power it can literally warp a Pokemon's type. Like Arceus, or genetic engineering.

And Terapagos isn't an alien like Eternatus, at least there's no evidence of it. It's been stuck underground, but it used to live on land. I would say it's just a really, really powerful Pokemon that isn't technically godly, but it's literally based on the World Turtle, another creation myth.

It's in the same boat as the Aura Trio, only it's not an alien. Except, it is responsible for the "Stellar" type, as in stars. And there is this Pokedex entry:

An old expedition journal describes the sight of this Pokémon buried in the depths of the earth as resembling a planet floating in space.

Who says that planet is Earth? What if that's its homeworld?

Terapagos doesn't just borrow inspiration from the world, but the idea of worlds itself, or the philosophical idea of "turtles all the way down". Not only does it depict a world, but a world on a world. A world on a world on a -

I don't know how to end this. Are all my Teraleak theories going to be this long? I hope not. Happy Teraleak! Enjoy the leak!

---

Edit: Changed the name of the title. It used to be called "Newer Legendaries Just Aren't in Arceus' Personal Circle".

All pics other than the Arceus circle are from Bulbapedia. It's easier that way.

Happy Pride from two of Unova’s gay icons xoxo Don’t even question why there would be a homophobic church in a Pokemon world I just wanted to draw them being goofy

Based on this

[jaimemes]

[Hello! Mun behind Jaime here! A lot of this post will be canon information mixed with speculation, personal headcanons, and/or altered information to fit the universe that Jaime is a part of! Because of this, non-canon information will be denoted with blue text!]

Okay! I promised I would write that post about Sigilyph lineages but I thought that it was important to preface that with an equally important history lesson combined with the introduction of the standard Sigilyph.

So, without further ado!

The Traveling Sigilyph

Perhaps the most recognizable appearance of the Pokémon, the Traveling Sigilyph is by far the most common and well-known shape this species takes. Largely considered the “standard” breed, Traveling Sigilyph can be found all throughout the western world as they aren’t a specific lineage and therefore aren’t genetically connected to a single space.

But funnily enough, Traveling Sigilyph are not solely named for their widespread population. In fact, their name is largely attributed to their role in the Unovan Civil Wars.

And it is here that we must delve into our first history lesson— how war completely reshaped the Unova region.

The Unova region is no stranger to war. Ancient civilizations in Unova had been warring thousands of years before the first Unovan kingdom would even come to be. It is in this era that, just outside of modern-day Iccirus, the Dragonspiral Tower would be constructed. Though it is not known who built it or when it was built, it is the oldest structure in Unova. It is a site of high religious importance, as according to legend, the tower is where Legendary Pokémon are created and slumber.

It is important to note that there is evidence of ancient Sigilyph activity here at Dragonspiral Tower dating back thousands of years, the most recent activity being dated some two-thousand or so years ago. Historians refer to this population of Sigilyph as the Dragonspiral Lineage.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Fast forward a couple hundred years after the construction of Dragonspiral Tower, and the scattered civilizations of ancient Unova are warring once again. It is here that two famous figures would be born: the fabled Heroes of Unova.

Many myths and legends surround the heroes— to the point of having caused several schisms due to disagreements between Unovan religious sects. But regardless of whether these claims are tales or truth, we know for certain that the brothers traveled the region to unite the warring factions under a single kingdom: the Kingdom of Unova— of which the two brothers would be crowned kings.

However, the brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Though no full-scale war came about this disagreement, the kings tried to settle their differences through a series of long and fierce battles, utilizing their Pokemon and the Sigilyph at their disposal in place of human soldier to prevent casualties of their own kingdom. But neither brother was able to overpower the other, and thus the brothers declared that there was no right side.

But despite the outcome of the battle, the damage to their relationship was irreparable. And so one of the brothers (although the identity of the brother is unclear, many historians believe it to be the younger brother) left to build his own kingdom, splitting the Unova Kingdom in two and taking some of the Sigilyph with him.

And this is where the name of the Traveling Sigilyph came to be: they were the Sigilyph that traveled across the region to follow the lonesome brother, and some defecting to follow smaller groups that split off from him.

The Traveling Brother would go on to establish his kingdom in the modern-day Desert Resort, constructing what we now know as the Relic Castle. And even after the king’s death, the kingdom was said to have been the heart of a civilization for people and Pokémon in the Unova region. The civilization reached its peak around 2,500 years ago, when the two kingdoms of the now deceased brothers would merge into one expansive nation.

But this peace would not last.

The descendants of the original twin heroes, the new kings of the unified kingdom, would again spark their forefathers’ disagreement. The ensuing civil war that followed reportedly scorched the earth and shook the very ground, destroying the land of Unova into something unrecognizable from what it once was. And no place is this more apparent than in Desert Resort, a land that used to be full of lush green and expansive forests now reduced to endless sands as far as the eye can see.

The civil war significantly reduced the population of Traveling Sigilyph in Unova and marked the end of the entire lineage of Dragonspiral Sigilyph.

Unfortunately, we don’t know what the Dragonspiral Sigilyph looked like, or if they were physically different from Traveling Sigilyph at all. But considering that they were not a specially-bred lineage, we can only assume that there were little to no visual differences from a standard Traveling Sigilyph.

Nowadays, the Traveling Sigilyph confined to the Desert Resort are referred to as the Relic Lineage, as they dutifully guard the Relic Castle and the remains of the civilization they once called home.

Any thoughts on the new pokemon legends teaser announcement thing?

So

So many thoughts.

Alright, my first game was XY, Y specifically, wanted X, they didn’t have it, got Y. Bacon Birb Superiority.

So kalos has always held a very special place in my heart because of that, but I had the most cracked playthrough. It was the middest game, immense wasted potential, and desperately needed a follow up instead of hap hazardously cramming it into SM as an after thought.

I did not use any of the normal starters, I used the event torchic with speed boost. Lowkey did not realize torchic wasn’t a kalos pokemon till 8 months into ORAS… but it makes a great story.

Anyways, I played the shit out of XY, managed to get 999+ hours on my own, just playing, doing daily things, trading online, GTS, everything. I managed to get every legendary/myth and then every shiny legendary/myth just no lifing the online system as a kid. It’s where my collection of legends comes from this day, I also got my first mew via the GameStop drop. That mew was cloned and became Bucket and “Meau” before Meau was Meau.

As well as I got Diancie before its release. Found a dude who had a brother who pulled some strings and yoinked one, before having another rando I meant clone it. My biggest flex, probably in any Pokémon game was my diancie lol

So safe to say, I was ESTATIC by the news, I wanted either a Johto Legends or Kalos legends, much more then Unova. As Johto/Gen 2 are my favourite games and generations. So I’ll be rooting for Johto anything after this ;3

[voloslovelydivinity]

legendary shenanigans

Not me realizing that ever since I could remember i was obsessed with legendary pokemon ever since I was little bitty along with Glitch pokemon but thats a different story) 9999.99% chance I pretended to be all of these pokemon at some point. (Mostly Lugia and Giratina are what I remember being the most)

Volo's face rn due to me not sleeping

Lugia(and the legendary bird trio) and Suicune were my first(Pokemon 2000 is a huge memory of mine and watching amvs of suicune and Lugia on early 2000s youtube along with many super mario 64 story/bloopers series)

Then 90% of the sinnoh myths and legends. (Mostly arceus, shaymin, Darkrai and Giratina)(not me forming a kintype with Giratina ever since platinum (my fave pokemon game next to PMD:EOS and Pla) first came out and ofc I remember the arceus trading card fiasco. Used to have a little arceus figure and tons of other sinnoh pokemon figures, posters and plushies. I nearly gave my childhood friend a headache due to me obsessing over buying a giratina origin form plushie. And ofc my childhood crush on Cynthia makes too much godamn sense nowadays)

then unova came around and Reshiram + N stole my heart and my braincells along with virizion and Cobalion. But Reshiram tho stuck with me due to its awesome cry ingame and battle theme)

And now it comes full damn circle decades later with a merchant man who strikes up my obsession and connection with Giratina and Arceus😭 and legendary pokemon in general. I feel like a kid again sometimes reading the guidebooks for every speck of info about said pokemon. Binge watching the movies (mostly the sinnoh ones) and playing Mystery Dungeon to fuel my otherkin fantasies

And real world mythology/lore and Revelations(that book in the bible yeah that one was the most interesting to me as a kid, now it makes more sense on why! Lets say mythology whether real or fantasy is a huge part of my life always.

In honor of spooky season, here's a spooky crossbreed!

Pokemon Crossbreeds: Will-Ó-the-Wisp

Will-Ó-the-Wisp, also spelled as Will-o-wisp in Unova, is the name for a Phantump/Trevenant with a father that's a member of the Litwick Line. The breed was named after the fairytail of the same name, which arre ghostly flames found in forests.

Phantump

Will-Ó-the-wisp Phantump have gained the illusion of a flame on their head, which can help them lure more people into forests.

(I don't normally put shinies, but I like this ones shiny)

Trevenant

This breed of Trevenanr have gained Bioluminecent leaves that help then lure away intruders. In their neutral form, they have gained leaves that take the shape of Chandelure's flame. They're most feared in Ballonlea, Galar, with there being many myths of them being evil fairies made stronger by chandelure. However, these pokemon are just protective of their territories and have a kind nature.

(Glowing Trevenant)

F/O Headcanons: Pokemon Universe Edition!

(More will be added with time)

(Also, many of these are inspired from headcanons I’ve previously read, so you may recognize them. Unfortunately, most of these have been in my phone for a long time so I don’t remember some of the original sources; if you do though, please message me so I can give proper credits)

Aromatisse tend to make potpurri nests

Nessa and Raihan are cousins.

Leon does not know how to break open a safe or pick locks… Hop knows how to do both. In fact Hop has numerous skills that are also a little shady.

It’s hard keeping a Riolu at their beginning stage because they are very loving, loyal and friendly pokemon. Don’t give your kid a Riolu because you will be taking care of a Lucario.

Phantump can possess all kinds of tree stumps (fruit trees, redwoods, birch trees, etc.). This gives them some natural variation in appearance.

Kirlia will often "intern" under Gallade and Gardevoir in order to enhance their psychic abilities. Which one a Kirlia trains under is thought to influence its evolution if male.

Magikarp are popular among breeders because they have a good amount of variation and produce lots of eggs. You can get Magikarp/Gyarados in various colors and patterns because of this. This is also true among Rattata, but they’re less popular due to people considering them weak and boring.

Absol are known for being paranoid. They are extremely protective of their trainers and will try to prevent any negative thing from happening to them, even if that thing is "leaf blows into their face" or something equally mundane.

Sylveon and Umbreon get along surprisingly well because they're both stealth hunters.

One popular textile company uses a stylized Leavanny for their logo.

Modern Pokeballs create simulations for the Pokemon inside that make them feel like they're in a large environment. In addition to making the Pokeball feel extra comfortable, they also help keep the Pokemon enriched.

Eevee and their evolutions arguably have the cutest courtship rituals on the planet. They start off by showing interest with short yips and sniffing, studying each other. After that, play-fighting ensues. When that's done, the pair share tiny kisses on the cheek.

Umbreon can spray poison from their rings. They can poison themselves if they breathe it in accidentally due to not being poison-types, but the toxins are pretty mild.

Leavanny can fly, but only for very short distances and not very far off the ground.

A popular rumor states that the more powerful the Lucario the more black they have on their bodies, but there's nothing scientific to back up this claim.

There are some that believe that Fidough evolve faster when around fire-type Pokemon. This claim has yet to be scientifically backed, however.

Young Vulpix will actively try to get their trainers to "hold their paw for reassurance.

The Leavanny line becomes incredibly agitated if they don't have any materials to "sew" with, so make sure they have access to plenty of greenery.

Absol live in isolation out in the wild, only coming together to breed and take care of their pups.

Jolteon oddly prefer sparkling water. Many theorize that the breed generally prefer foods that cause ‘tingly’ sensations as it’s similar to the hum of electricity.

Legendary and guardian pokemon in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos are so rarely seen they are thought of as myths. Meanwhile the Tapu guardians in Alola have shown up in people's backyards to mess around with their sprinklers and lawn ornaments.

Luxray are used as police or medical Pokemon in Sinnoh due to their ability to see through objects and strong stature. They are good at finding and retrieving victims and people who need assistance. Along with that they can be trained to listen for heartbeats and give electricity in a way similar to an AED.

There is a superstition in Johto that if an Eevee jumps into a child's crib, the child is blessed. Often times for baby showers, the mother is gifted an Eevee egg for this very reason. When the kit hatches, it is left in the room with the baby. If the Eevee stays by the child's side, but outside the crib, the child is destined to be average and live a normal life. However, if the Eevee jumps inside the crib and sleeps next to the child, the child will be blessed with fortune, prosperity, and joy.

It's thought that having someone with a positive aura take care of Riolu eggs helps them to hatch faster.

Eevees tend to mimic the personality and habits of their trainers. If their trainer tends to be energetic, the Eevees will get a share of that energy too. If, on the other hand, the trainer tends to be more on the relaxed and a bit lazy side the Eevees will behave like that too.

Popplio are frequently used for public performances and other forms of entertainment. It works out nicely, as it serves as excellent enrichment for them

Swablu's soft, cotton-y down is a favorite filler for pillows, especially because they shed it often. Nowadays it's more common to find synthetic substitutes.

Eevee’s love to be groomed and accessorized, especially on their tail. They don't like baths though but they groom themselves well.

Hisuian Growlithe/Arcanine are still found in some volcanic regions, but they are incredibly rare and protected under law.

A group of Chingling/Chimecho are known as a gong.

While Vulpix and Ninetales have incredible fur, harming one is considered bad luck and, in some areas, sacrilegious.
