Cereza's Team, Part One?

The dreaded team post There's literally so much I can say about each one of them so I'm just gonna ramble until I'm tired

for those who don't know, Cereza is my Juliana insert for Pokemon Scarvi

Jumping straight into it then!

Charon - Corviknight

Charon's name is a reference to the ferryman of river Styx. this pays homage to the Corviknight taxis in Paldea

Charon is her first pokemon that she caught when she still lived in Galar

As such Charon is very proud and thinks of himself highly as Cereza's partner

This pride extends to the rest of his personality, specifically in preening. Charon is conscious of his appearance at all times and maintains it nigh constantly. Because of this, he also has a penchant for shiny things.

Charon has a stealing problem. He is no longer allowed around valuable things unattended

Charon is notably close to Styx, her Tinkaton. (Yes I'm aware of the irony and so is Cereza. Cereza did this intentionally)

Charon adores Cereza and shows it by bringing her gifts. (Sometimes that gift is a disgruntled magnemite or other unfortunate steel type) He will give gifts to anyone he approves of, including the other Pokémon on the team

He is very fond of Calanthite, Cereza's Glimmora, because he thinks she is very sparkly. He will try to scoop up the little crystal bits from her Toxic Debris ability and was delighted to find out they no longer poisoned him when he fully evolved into a Steel type

Styx - Tinkaton

Styx's name is a reference to the river Styx, partially to match Charon but also because it phonetically sounds like sticks, which Styx evidently took a liking to as a Tinkatink. At times Styx will affectionately be called Twig or Twigs

Styx was Cereza's first Paldean Pokémon and partially caught her to keep Charon's ego in check

Styx is very rabid enthusiastic and will attack other Pokemon on sight no matter what they are. Self-preservation who? This means Cereza often has to hold onto Styx in some way when she's physically out of her ball.

Styx and Charon have a (eventually friendly) rivalry and they constantly try to one up one another. The two will steal from each other's collections of shiny objects and scrap metal respectively which can and will turn into a physical fight. Cereza has learned it's best to let them fight out their differences

Styx and Charon are incredibly competitive and one will get irritated if the other's level is higher than theirs. Cereza makes a point to keep their levels even, though she's found that it's a great motivator for one if the other's level is higher

Styx uses play fighting and battling in general as a love language. And boy is Styx loving.

Once the other Pokémon on the team get used to Styx's eccentric play fighting tendencies, they start to understand how affectionate and caring Styx is in her own way

Wukong - Annihilape

Wukong's name is a reference to the Monkey King Sun Wukong from Journey to the West

Cereza found Wukong randomly in Kitakami. Wukong was separated from his pack of Mankey because they had kicked him out for being too competitive

Wukong joined Cereza's team under the impression that he was going to lead his new 'pack' but quickly found he was outclassed by his flying and fairy type teammates. This hurt his pride quite a bit, not being able to compete with Charon and Styx the way they did with one another

Cereza noticed this and made sure to give him extra attention, which helped Wukong's self-esteem a lot. He quickly grew to be fonder of Cereza's praise and going stronger alongside her rather than becoming stronger by himself

Wukong is very attached to Cereza though wouldn't admit it at first. He is a very sensitive Pokemon and would sulk a lot as a Mankey for not being able to keep up with the other two. Cereza noticed this behavior and would carry him around on her shoulders whenever he was upset.

Because she was so tender with Wukong, he ended up being raised into a very gentle soul even as a Primeape. He had a good handle on his temper and only ever utilized his short fuse in battle where he could take it out safely. Cereza often made sure that other trainers and Pokemon were aware that as a Primeape, Wukong was still gentle.

Cereza wasn't aware that Primeape had to die to evolve, so her shock when Wukong died as a Primeape was heart wrenching for her. She was sobbing with his body in her arms as she evolved and Wukong held her as her grief-stricken tears turned to ones of relief and elation

Wukong is the biggest sweetheart

Deadeye - Dragapult

Deadeye is slang for a good marksman and missiles are a part of Dragapult's gimmick, thus he was named. Plus, ghost pun :]

Cereza was already fond of Dragapult since she grew up in Galar, plus, Dreepy is intriguing from a research standpoint as well due to being the ghost of an extinct Pokémon, so naturally she caught one

In all honesty, Deadeye baffled her at first. He was a strange little guy, and he grew slower than the rest of the team, so she didn't really know what to do with him. She caught him right before the Festival of Masks and decided to bring him with her to the festival.

She found out after spending a lot of time walking around with him that he was a curious little lizard and liked to poke at anything that moved, similar to Cereza herself. Unfortunately, that also meant Deadeye carried the same recklessness.

Deadeye has a bad habit of believing everything is his friend, even if said friend is chasing him. He will happily turn to Cereza with a wide smile that says 'Look, they're playing tag with me!'

Pokémon battles have always seemed like a game to him for that reason, a very fun game. He has the capability to get very passionate and competitive, he has a lot of heart for a little lizard

Despite his friendly demeanor, Deadeye is also extremely lonely. He didn't have a pod when Cereza found him and as an extinct Pokémon, the oceans, habitat, and Pokémon he grew up with are long gone. Cereza related to this loneliness, having moved and left her old life behind, as well as her struggle to make friends.

As such, Cereza likes to take Deadeye to places like aquariums that have Relicanth exhibits, parts of the ocean most similar to the ones from his time, and fossil Pokémon sanctuaries. She wants him to feel at home in this time as much as possible

This love is very much returned, Deadeye is practically joined at the hip with Cereza. Cereza often has him idly out of his pokeball, stroking his spine or trilling his unique noises back to him

Deadeye somehow gets the dirtiest of all her Pokemon despite formerly being an aquatic Pokemon. This fact baffles her but she makes sure to bathe him frequently. If she doesn't remember, he will fetch the bathing supplies and drop them at her feet as his little (or big, depending on his evo) ghost tail wags

Calanthite - Glimmora

Calanthite is a combination of the names Calanthe, meaning 'beautiful flower', and Chalcanthite, a copper sulphate crystal that Glimmora is based on

Cereza is incredibly fond of the Crystal Pool in Kitakami and spent most of the night there after the whole Milotic debacle with Carmine. Charon wandered off and found what he thought was a strange looking gem that caught his eye because it was glowing. When Calanthite woke up, she panicked and attacked Charon. Having never seen this Pokémon before, Cereza caught her. Cereza spent the rest of the night observing the strange creature, trying to deduce what exactly she was

In that night she found out that, while shy, Calanthite was quite the prankster the moment one turned their back on her. When playing ball with the other Pokémon, Calanthite would often playfully target the back of Cereza's head then do the closest thing a Glimmet can to giggle

Calanthite is very fond of Cereza, she just shows it through pranks and humor. This extends to the other Pokémon as well, unfortunately for them.

Calanthite is very sweet and affectionate, further contrasting her hidden mischievous side. She has good intentions at all times, she mostly just wants to see her teammates and trainer laugh

Calanthite is pretty selfless as well and doesn't mind losing or taking one for the team. Calanthite does gain a taste for winning after seeing how happy it makes the team and Cereza; and the rush it gives her

Calanthite was okay on her own, but Charon finding her was the best thing to happen to her in her eyes. Being alone is fine, but spending her life with the team makes Calanthite truly happy

Ginkgo - Torterra

Ginkgo is a kind of golden leaved tree. In my headcanon, Ginkgo isn't shiny but does have a ginkgo tree on his back.

Ginkgo is the team baby, literally, he hatched from the egg Jacq gifted to Cereza

Cereza was reluctant to add Ginkgo to the team, especially with how competitive some of the members could get *cough* Styx *cough*

What she didn't expect at all was for Wukong to become incredibly attached to Ginkgo and practically claim the little turtle as his kid

Wukong even made sure to play and spar with Ginkgo at his level, and when Styx tried to hop in on the action (giving Cereza a mini heart attack) Wukong quickly interjected and taught Styx how to be gentle with the little sprout.

Wukong and Ginkgo grew as mentor and student, and Ginkgo evolved into Torterra shortly before Wukong's psuedo-death. In that time, Ginkgo had gotten a little too confident and started throwing his new weight around. Ginkgo was really eager to keep up with the rest of the team, but he was going the wrong way about it. Wukong interjected and Ginkgo accidentally hurt Wukong with his new unwieldy power that he hadn't quite learned to handle yet.

After Wukong died then evolved, Ginkgo realized how caring Wukong was and how much he took care of the other members. Wukong had become the leader he initially wanted to be as a Mankey through patience and hard work.

Ginkgo cooled down significantly and grew up a lot, realizing that with his new size and power, he should be pulling his weight, not throwing it around. He started letting Charon roost in his branches, Styx nap under his shade and Wukong meditate similarly under the golden canopy. Anyway, that's all six! Lemme know any questions, ideas, hcs, etc! I adore hearing the thoughts of people that see this :] Even if it's just saying which team member is your favorite, actually, ESPECIALLY those, I wanna know

[pokemon-variants-pokedex]

Hey, I'm pretty interested in contests, and have noticed a lot of interesting Pokemon while watching them! What exactly are some of the common contest breeds?

(///ooc: I looked through the ENTIRE national dex MULTIPLE TIMES for this. Why? Because I wanted to.)

Hello! There are many different types of contests; beauty pageant style contests, performance based contests, battle contests, I've even seen a sub-type of beauty pageant contests that focus on pokemon that are often considered "too ugly" for regular beauty pageants like Trubbish and Garbodor. I have divided this into different parts. Note: Pretty much every pokemon has an official "contest" breed and official "battle" breed.

First is a list of the top 5 most popular beauty pageant contest pokemon with the three most popular contest breeds of each pokemon.

Pikachu. The three most popular contest breeds are the cosplay breed (obviously), the long tail breed (dedenne father), and the bushy tail breed (pachirisu father)

Eevee and the Eevee-lutions. The most popular contests breeds are the snow coat breed (alolan vulpix or ninetales father), the boots breed (nickit or thievul father), and the blue coat breed (alolan meowth or persian father).

Gardevoir. The three most popular contest breeds are the funeral breed (gothita, gothorita, or gothitelle father), the dolly breed (shuppet or banette father), and the ice cream breed (milcery or alcremie father)

Altaria. The three most popular contest breeds are dancer breed (oricorio father), blood cloud breed (rufflet or braviary father), and the Sylph breed (info can be found here)

Milotic. The three most popular contest breeds are the mosaic breed (Galarian Slowpoke, Slowbro, or Slowking father), tropical breed (horsea, seadra, or kingdra father), and reef breed (johtian corsola father).

Performance contests include using dancing, singing, performing tricks, and other show tasks.

Jigglypuff. The three most popular contest breeds are the positive breed (plusle father), the spotted breed (shroomish or breloom father), and the caroler breed (snorunt or glalie father).

Zoroark. The three most popular contest breeds are the will-o-wisp breed (Kantonian Ponyta or Rapidash father), lake spirit breed (vaporeon father), and the watcher breed (sentret or furret father).

Audino. The three most popular contest breeds are the harlot breed (Spritzee or Aromatisse father), the pigtails breed (Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, or Tinkaton father), and the cheerleader breed (Hoppip, Skiploom, or Jumpluff father)

Absol. The three most popular contest breeds are the Egyptian breed (Kantonian Sandshrew or Sandslash father), the Flood breed (Paldean Tauros Aqua father), and the Eruption breed (Johtian Typhlosion father)

Oricorio. The three most popular contest breeds are the ballet breed (togepi, togetic, or togekiss father), the kickbox breed (hawlucha father), and the masquerade breed (pidove, tranquill, or unfezant father).

The "battle" contests are very similar to the performance contests just with a focus on using pokemon moves within the performance.

The hitmon line. The three most popular contest breeds are the ethereal breed (ceruledge father), the brawler breed (spinda father), and the kick-box breed (Buneary and Lopunny father).

Metagross. The three most popular contest breeds are the sundance breed (Solrock father), the steampunk breed (klink, klang, or klinkklang father), and the collector breed (klefki father).

Ampharos. The three most popular contest breeds are the sunflower breed (Chikorita, Bayleef, or Meganium father), the forest breed (Turtwig, Grotle, or Torterra father), and the snowglow breed (Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales father).

Porygon2. The three most popular contest breeds are the magnetic breed (Magnemite, Magneton, or Magnezone father), the ringer breed (Bronzor or Bronzong father), and the salt lick breed (Nacli, Naclstack, or Garganacl father).

Aegislash. The three most popular contest breeds are the pixelated breed (Porygon, 2, or Z father), the butter knife breed (Sinistea or Polteageist father), and the bread knife breed (Fidough or Dachsbun father).

Then there are "anti-beauty" pageants that focus on pokemon that are often considered too "ugly" for regular pageants. (this is my personal favorite type of contest)

Garbodor. The three most popular contest breeds are the petrified breed (Glimmet or Glimmora father), the run off breed (Bergmite or Avalugg father), and the recycled breed (Vanillite, Vanillish, or Vanilluxe father).

Muk. The three most popular contest breeds are the haunted breed (Gastly, Haunter, or Gengar father), the lava breed (Slugma or Magcargo father), and the chime breed (Chingling or Chimecho father)

Golbat. The three most popular contest breeds are the heart breed (Woobat or Swoobat father), the wyrm breed (Noibat or Noivern father), and the statue breed (Natu or Xatu father).

Shiinotic. The three most popular contest breeds are the cherry breed (Bounsweet, Steenee, or Tsareena father), the banana breed (tropius father), and the apple breed (Applin, Appletun, or Flapple father).

Grimmsnarl. The three most popular contest breeds are the warlock breed (Hatenna, Hattrem, and Hatterene father), the strawberry breed (Snubbull or Granbull father), and the snaggletooth breed (Mawile father).

[stars-shiny-collection]

Part 3 of me hunting pokemon I have shiny cards of from the Paldean Fates set! We got Forretress and Tinkaton! Forretress was pretty easy, since the outbreak + a level 2 encounter steel sandwich made it almost exclusively the pokemon that spawned. Of course I also had to make it's tera type bug

And then we have Tinkaton! Fun fact for it, I phased on it within a minute. I got a Tinkatuff outbreak 2 months ago (couldn't finish the out reak sadly), but when I got an encounter 2 steel sandwich a Magnemite just instantly spawned in. No herba mystica.

But today I got another Tinkatuff outbreak and got the shiny! And it's marked!!

[klonoadreams]

the fact that iono is out there wearing painted and trained magnemite still sends me. miriam could only make do with hair unfortunately. her up do does look pretty similar but like. still not sure why thatd merit immediate jump to "they're related"

Not to mention, hair bows aren't exactly a recent thing either, I remember being in high school, seeing different students styling parts of their hair into a bow.

It's a very cute hair style. :V

Mimi used to work at a Pokemon Center before ending up at the academy and was friends and coworkers with a Model by the name of Naiara - which I find interesting. Because they might've gone separate paths, but some of their likes overlap, with Naiara being a model, and Mimi picking fashionable clothes. So it's likely that Mimi's always been interested in fashion at the side and cutesy things.

Also from Iono's trailers, I think she confirmed them in her first trailer that they're just really fancy hairclips. Which is fucking PHENOMENAL from the way they exaggerate some of her emotions and move around. She likely had them commissioned (or more likely, given Pokemon's recent technological advances, there might be a Rotom inside keeping it so fluid :V). Either way, they are VERY unique. So it's a lot harder for someone like Mimi to look around for one.

side note, one of the headcanons I have is that Mimi is a Paldean native, while Iono is from one of the PokeJapan regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh - likely not Johto, due to her dialect - speaking of which, ScVi JP pixiv fics tend to lean into Rika being from Johto because she speaks in the Kansai dialect, which is an interesting trend :V). Why Iono would be in the Iberian Peninsula???

The thing about Spanish is that it shares linguistic similarities with Japanese. Meaning that it's actually pretty easy to learn Japanese if you know Spanish, and vice versa. And honestly, she looks young enough to have likely gotten yeeted into the Academy as a foreign exchange student likely on a scholarship or no, and like. Streaming has reached the point of mainstream that makes it even easier for the younger generation to easily pick up on it (I say this as someone who's been streaming since they were in high school, it is a LOT easier now, since OBS has come a long way, and the access to better mics and headsets that are affordable have made it easier too, now that it's no long so niche)

Iono's been streaming for quite a while that she's finally achieved stability that'll allow her to keep streaming until she chooses to retire, and like...it's only upwards for her as her connections make it possible for her to grow even more.

(this proves to be quite the stark contrast with Grusha, since snowboarding is a physical sport career that often sees people retiring in their early 20s, with most snowboarders starting their careers while they're in high school and being in their actual PRIME during those years before they hit 20 - meaning Grusha is likely not that much older than your player character and their friends. Meaning there's a likely possible chance that Grusha feels a bit bitter about Iono's career. So do what you will with that information, and I just wish to see Grusha and Iono having petty fights similar to what we see in memes with Raihan and Iono lmao :V)

anyways that's my blip of the day for headcanons, do what you will with them. I like analyzing characters and going my own way with what I take away from certain interpretations (being a comm major has it's perks, but also GOD DAMN, am I a fucking nerd sometimes).

(sometimes, the stars will align, and I come across other people who think similarly that create the content that I'm too busy - or lazy - to make myself. Currently, I am in rare pair hell because Larry/Rika is not as popular of a ship on the EN-speaking side as it is on the JP end of things, hence my daily pixiv dives to read machine translated fanfic and look at hella nice art on twitter. AO3 only has given me three fics for crumbs lmao, I'm reaching desperation where I might fucking write one of my own)

(I will continue this blurb in a different post, do keep an eye out for it)

Paldean Magnemite Sticker Pack

♡ Main Store || Etsy ♡

[jellyfishonabudget]

before S/V released, a friend was hoping that Iono's hairclips were a new paldean magnemite. that was not the case

this is an old sketch; felt inspired to make my own Paldean Magnemite line. The idea behind these guys is that they're made of a plastic instead of metal, and the first form (Paldean Magnemite) can't generate strong charges yet so it's only fairy type (which is why Iono can wear them safely). They come in pairs instead of singles.

When they evolve, they don't increase in number (yet...) and instead strengthen their bond, becoming Magnetwin. This is when they can start creating electric charges. Also, those aren't screws on their top/bottom, but spinning bar magnets.

that monstrosity in the bottom right is Magnoculus, the result of Magnetwin coming into contact with a thunder stone. Instead of fusing akin to Magneton into Magnezone, they release a ton of power and draw in other Magnetwin, turning into this stupid looking wheel thing made of Magnetwin. Their power pools in the center to form a big electric eye that they use to fry stuff with.

I imagine they'd be more glass-cannony than their kantonian counterparts; they're lighter and therefore speedier, but don't have as bulky defenses. Just keep in mind I'm terrible at balance so nobody knows if any of this would work out.

Try to imagine Magnoculus rolling around the fields of Paldea. You can't.

2, 6, and 7? (@phantomforces21)

2. Do you tend to keep your Pokémon in- or out-of-ball? Are there any exceptions to this?

Whenever possible I keep my Pokémon out of their balls. For one, they are much more comfortable when they get to spread out and walk around, and without them it would frankly be far too quiet and empty around the house. Even with all the Sneasels being here can get a bit lonely, and I need my Pokémon by my side to help mitigate that. If I'm going into town typically only Sneaks or Hemlock will be out with me. Sometimes Hotdog, since she likes to meet new people.

6. Are there any Pokémon that, upon first learning of them, you almost didn’t believe were real creatures?

I thought Magneton was a joke honestly. I knew Magnemite was real, but the idea that three of them come together to form one Pokémon was bizarre to me, especially given the fact that they then fuse together to become Magnezone. Was convinced for years that Magnemite evolved into Magnezone.

Dugtrio and Wugtrio confused me for similar reasons, I still don't understand how neither of them fuse into one for a final evolution.

7. Have you ever seen a shiny Pokémon in person?

I've seen a few owned by trainers, but I've yet to hatch one myself or find one in the wild. You'd think I would have by now! Funniest one I've seen is my friend's shiny Paldean Tauros, looks virtually the exact same as any other Tauros if you ask me, but sure enough it's the real deal! Merri didn't even realize when she caught it what it was I don't think.

[ojaiyart]

found a shiny for the first time in pokemon violet ….. it ignited the desire to search for more

[jesterday00]

The trailer this morning (Oct. 12th):

Spoilers under the cut

We got an info-drop that very well could've just been shared on the Pokemon Twitter, like they did with Grafaiai, but nah, they had to hype it up like the 40 minute trailer from a little while ago. We got:

Confirmation of one new pokemon that we didn't even get to see

Potential confirmation of Magnemite line being included (maybe having a Paldean form shown as the character's hair clips)

The Electric-type gym being confirmed and the gym leader making an appearance

And... that's it. MAYBE you could conclude that Social Media is gonna be a narrative thing if not a new gameplay mechanic for a few things, but idk. That was boring.
