So, you're turning into a Pokemon
A guide by Gen Taranz
This is a guide for people who are turning into, are going to turn into, or have already turned into Pokemon. I'm of the third category, and I've been stuck like this for almost a year now. So, uh. I think I might be able to give some pretty good advice. The guide itself is below the cut.
This is part 1 of...I'm not sure yet. I currently have 10 sections planned, but I might add more if need be.
Section 1: How do I know it's happening to me?
Generally, if your skin suddenly starts turning an odd color like blue, you're feeling really itchy and fuzzy all over, or you're feeling odd bumps in weird places (like on your head or tailbone), I'm sorry to say, but you're probably turning into a Pokemon.
Now, that's not always going to be the case. But that's the best I got for if you're being turned into a Pokemon non-instantly, or sleebied.
You might not experience any of these. You might just go to bed one day, and wake up as a Pokemon. That's what happened for me, after all. If that's what happened, feel free to skip section 8 of this guide.
Section 2: Fur, scales, and feathers
These are not fun to have, in my experience. I only have fur and scales, but I'll do my best to talk about feathers too.
Fur is going to need to be groomed a lot. Your tongue might be your best bet here, many furry Pokemon have tongues built for grooming their fur. Of course, obviously you might not want to do that, so it's a good idea to invest in a good furbrush that you can hold, or ask a trusted person to hold.
Scales are less of a pain to take care of, and are the most like skin out of these three things, but are still very weird. My scales are a bit squishy, which is. Something.
We don't know of many feathered eebies yet, but from what I've heard, they're a pain to take care of. There's the whole preening process that you'll have to start doing, not to mention molting.
Speaking of, let's talk about shedding. For me, shedding happens once every two months or so, and involves my tail scales getting progressively itchier and itchier until they peel off and reveal a new layer. For others, it might involve your fur getting really itchy as your summer or winter coat grows in, or something similar happening with feathers.
For fur or feather shedding, having a rough surface to rub your body against helps a lot with helping get fur loose. If you have a scaly friend, ask them if you can rub against them to help shed your fur.
For scale shedding, rough surfaces also help, but warm baths also help in loosening that top layer of scales. They also feel really good if you're a water-type.
Section 3: Paws, wings, talons, and tails
I'm sorry to say this, but your hands are likely going to drastically change. You'll probably lose most of their dexterity, and it'll be much more difficult to do stuff with them.
If your hands are changing or have changed into paws...there's not much to do. You'll just have to find other ways to do things. My little brother, Cobalt the Giratina eeby, uses xyr tail to do most stuff now, which might be a viable option for those with flexible tails, but I'll get to those in a bit.
You might keep your thumbs, or you might not. I'm sorry. I wish I could help more. All I can really do is recommend using styluses, and looking into disability aids.
For those of you that are becoming avian Pokemon, you're likely going to have your hands become wings. And for those of you becoming dragon-types, you might grow wings from scratch.
These are definitely no replacement for hands, but you can fly now, at least?
What is a replacement for hands, though, is talons. Talons, at least from what I've heard, are pretty dexterous, allowing you to do most things you could previously do with your hands! Though this will likely be a balancing act, since you also use these to stand.
And now, tails. I...honestly don't really know what to say here, since Pokemon have so many different varieties of tails. My cousin, Jayden the Brionne eeby, has a tail instead of legs. My best friend, Lily the Buizel eeby, has two tails that she can spin. And myself, I have a Sobble tail that's prehensile. It really depends on what species you end up as.
One thing I've consistently noticed, though, is that tails are very easy to lose track of, especially if they're the waggy sort. It's extremely easy to knock stuff over with your tail if you're not paying close attention to it. So...pay attention to it.
Also try not to sit on your tail. That really hurts.
And that's part 1 of this! I hope that this helps any eebies and sleebies who are struggling with their bodies.

If Percival and Newt live together Percy's going to have to come up with a good hair remover charm for all his suits - the 'magical lint roller' charm - I wonder how long it took him to perfect it...
It’s 2 in the morning here and I’m giggling at this image because Percival’s dark coloured suits will be covered in furs of every colours imaginable and he’s gonna invest a lot of money in buying lint rollers except magical creatures’ furs stick much stronger to the fabric and no matter how much he tries to roll them away, they won’t come off so he has to be creative and possibly locks himself in his greenhouse because he’s great at charms and maybe, just maybe it will take him more than five years after several trials and errors to come up with what later would be the most useful charm for wizards and witches with pets.
the first charm doesn’t exactly vanish the fur, it totally camouflage the colour to hide it better in the suit.
the second charm is much more complicated because Percival tries to separate the furs from the fabric except the whole things come off and it ends up eating his favourite trousers.
the consecutive spell works are more or less the same but there’s improvement and it’s a proud moment for him when his latest spell has stopped him from looking like a Yeti in the middle of an important meeting.
When he finally succeeds, Percival Graves’ name has become quite the household sensation and he actually wins several accolades for his hard work and dedication in inventing new spell that has made life easier for the wizarding community.
Percival Graves, youngest Director of Magical Security and the inventor of FurBrush Charm.
