As someone who has just beaten the Pokémon X elite four.

What’s funny about the kalos elite four is that.

Despite them being seen as one of the weakest elite four, each of them have Pokemons that require you to prepare for them.

Case and point :

Malva has her Talonflame which is problematic since ground types doesn’t affect it. And if like me, you don’t have a electric type and instead have a HM Surf Pangoro. That flying type sucks.

Drasna has her Dragalge that can tear through fairy types due to its poison typing. And even if you use a Garchomp (like me), the poison status effect is no joke.

Siebold has his Gyrados and Barbaracle. His Barbaracle is a problem due to its ground type moves (even for my Venusaur). But if you don’t have an electric type, his Gyrados is a nightmare. It knows dragon dance, and it took me 1 sleep powder and 5 vine whip from my Mega-Venusaur in order to K-O it.

And finally, Wikstrom. His Klefki and Aegislash are a nightmare. If you are an idiot like me who uses a Pangoro against him, Klefki’s fairy typing hits like a truck and Pangoro’s fighting type moves don’t affect Aegislash (who knows a fighting type move btw). My only other option was Delphox who I forgot to use for Klefki and didn’t want to risk due to Aegislash’s ghost typing. Delphox is really good against his Scizor and Pangoro against his Probopass however.

Of course, all of them pale against the mighty power of Over-Leveled pokemons.

Pokemon scarlet and Violet we're so amazing, best games in the series in years

I HAD to draw Pepper as a gym leader, fairy and steel because she's magical and robotic

I love her so much 🥞🦜

I remembered klefkis like to break into peoples homes to steal their keys and the idea was too funny to pass up

#pokemon #klefki #doodles #pls ignore my shitty background ok i was doing my best #was also drawing this at like four am so #klefkis are the cutest little nuisances

[professor-mist]

Hello its me the girl who found a klefki in unova so tell me more about their diet okay?

Yeah sure! 

Klefki used to be known as the “miner’s menace,” due to their habitat and frequent pranks pulled on Kalos’s miners. They’ve since moved out of mines and closer to human civilization, but they still enjoy many of the minerals they used to have on the daily. 

Nickel and Limestone are some of the more cheaply priced ones, but they really enjoy just about any minerals you give them. And though I usually wouldn’t recommend store-bought pokéfood, steel types are one of the exceptions. You don’t even need to buy the Klefki specific type, seeing as it’s mostly just a recolor that costs more money. Generic will serve you just fine.

And as is for most steel types (but not as much with Klefki due to it having a second typing.) You should give them supplements to keep them from rusting, which can be found in most pokecenters. (but as I said before due to Klefki’s typing this only has to be done about once a year.)

Hope that clears things up! Let me know if you need any further information, I’m always happy to help!

#pokemon #pokemon ask blog #professor mist #pokemon headcanons #klefki #pokemon food #generic food usually isn’t what’s best for a mon #but steel types are different #they thrive off of inorganic food most of the time #so processed food doesn’t bother them that much #there are of course exceptions #but just do your research and you’ll be fine #pokémon

[le-trash-prince]

The Pit Babe cast as Pokémon trainers

Just some meaningless AU fun because I can :3

Babe

Klefki: Look, he’s not gonna not have the damn car keys pokemon okay

Arcanine: Growlithe was Babe’s first Pokemon, gifted to him by Tony, who wanted him to be a fire trainer. Despite this, Babe considers it a friend still, and it’s been by his side through everything.

Lucario: I JUST THINK IT VIBES

Hitmonchan: Babe’s boxing partner!

Charlie

Ditto: This one should be obvious but for those who don’t know the franchise, Ditto can copy the form and moves of any Pokemon

Poochyena: a puppy pokemon for a puppy trainer

Oddish: I just think Charlie would have a cute Pokemon with a drain type attack

Alan

Aipom: It helps Alan out in the garage by passing tools around 🥹

Magneton: Another garage helper who spends a lot of time with Jeff’s Magneton

Squirtle: Absolute dad vibes. Chills out with Alan in his pool. They have matching sunglasses.

Jeff:

Absol: Absol is rumored to be able to foresee disaster, and who is that perfect for?

Magnemite: Magnemite just seemed really cute for an engineer like Jeff to have.

Metapod: A Pokemon with a shell as tough as its trainer’s. Jeff never pushes his Metapod to evolve because he loves it just the way it is.

Way

Alakazam: I figure Way would specialize in psychic Pokemon!

Meowstic: A pretty little psychic blue kitty for a pretty little psychic man

Hypno: I don’t have to explain this one right okay moving on

Pete

Unown: Just as mysterious and enigmatic as its trainer

Suicune: Like Suicune, Pete has a tendency to show up, look cool, and then leave. Iconic.

Kim

Rapidash: Well Kim has gotta have the fire type that loves racing. It’s the law.

Pyeroar: I’ll be honest I just think they would be majestic and badass together

Raichu: Kim’s Raichu is a beast who will fuck you up

Kenta

Houndoom: Kenta’s job is to look pretty and lurk in the background with his ciggy and his Houndoom and he is very good at it

Winner

Inceneroar: Look they are best friends okay. Even if Winner pushed it to evolve too early because he’s dumb like that.

Dean

Farfetch’d: I just know in my heart of hearts that Dean has a Farfetch’d

Jigglypuff: Dean demands to be taken as seriously as his Jigglypuff does

North & Sonic: They co-parent a Rotom who helps them with vlogging and it’s the cutest shit in the world. They focus more on vlogging than Pokemon training or racing.

Tony: Of course the wealthy evil head of an organization that deals in kidnapping is gonna have a Persian. This is not even a question

And that’s it! Of course there’s a lot more Pokemon all of them could have but these are just my thoughts! If you read this far, thank you for your time! And thank you to my bestie for brainstorming with me. ☺️ I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts

Are there any Steel types that would make a good starter? I live in an area that experiences all seasons, but summer is really muggy and hot. It's spring here right now and it's been beautiful, but a tad windy.

in terms of both climate tolerance and general personality, bronzor isn't a bad choice! they're capable of handling a pretty wide range of climates, and while they aren't necessarily the most interactive or sociable pokemon out there, they also aren't liable to be difficult to train once you get a chance to know one. their care needs are really flexible, since they have no internal structures. i've talked with multiple bronzor owners who recommend them for someone getting used to caring for steel types. the main trouble most beginning bronzor owners have is training them to accept being polished when necessary, since they don't normally like being touched; however, there are several really good guides online on how to train your bronzor to willingly cooperate with its maintenance and care.

the difficulty with steel types in your climate is that they often do best in drier areas, since there's less likelihood of rusting...i think klefki is another potential choice for you, though! they can be a little mischevious around keys, but otherwise they tend to be calm and good-natured. you'll have to keep more of an eye our for rust than with a bronzor, but klefki doesn't have the complex joints and plating that some other steel types have, so maintaining them is easier. if you follow a good training program, you'll likely not hit too many speedbumps in training one- and of course, feeding them is as easy as giving them access to metal keys! i also just think they're super cute haha

youll need to do your own research past this point, but those are a couple of pokemon you might want to look at.

I was bored at uni one day so decided to make hypothetical pokemon teams for the Touden party. Some are based on vibes, some are references to the characters themselves. Explanations below, at some places I go into spoiler territory so read at your own risk. I dont know how to spoilertag so im just gonna paste a lot of "/" so people have to click read more.

Laios: In general a very monster focused team. Initially i considered filling his entire team with dragons, but found that idea pretty boring. Hydreigon is a perfect fit for Laios. It fits both his love of dragons, multiheaded monsters, and it fits one of his titles at the end of the story: Laios of the Three heads. Escavalier is a reference to the living armor, which i think is the coolest monster in the entire series. Thats not enough to have it as a team member though, so the real reason i placed it on Laios' theme is that its Kensuke. Pyroar is The Winged Lion, as Laios is the only person in the story who truly understands it. Nidoking is a monster, but it also has king in its name. Lycanrock (day) is a reference to his childhood dogs. Finally Lickylicky references his endless apetite. I chose Lickylicky over snorlax, because Lickylicky is more niche in its appeal, and Laios is the type of person who likes things other would say "Thats stupid" to.

Marcille: I struggled a bit with this team, but in general i wanted to focus on her Elf identity, which mean some more feminine pokemon. However i also wanted to focus on her ancient magic and magical capabilities. I think Gardevoir is a perfect fit for her. Its a very caring pokemon, and its a very powerful psychic type. I added Cradily because i felt it fit her a lot. Its an ancient pokemon, and its a plant. You could see this as fitting with her staff and such, but all in all i just thought it really fit Marcille a lot. Next is Trevenant, which is a reference to her staff, Ambrosia. Its also a ghost type pokemon and has a darker design than just a tree, so i felt it was a nice tie in to her having darker/ancient magic than she lets on at first. Meowstic is a pokemon i put in simply for the vibes, I feel it fits her a lot. No other reason really. Gothitelle is here to reference her Dungeon Lord outfit, but i also think its a pokemon she would like. At last Spiritomb. This is a reference to her ancient magic, and i feel no other pokemon could represent an old unknown horror quite as well as Spiritomb.

Senshi: I wanted to really include Senshis key characteristics here, but really ended up with a lot of food pokemon. Mudsbray is a reference to Anne, both the horse and the Kelpie. Torterra is a pokemon i think senshi would like. I initially wanted to use Golem or another rock type to reference his farm golems, but i think Torterra just does the idea much better seeing as its basically an ecosystem in itself. Kangaskhan is a reference to his parental role in the party, but also his need to take care of the younger generation. Perrserker is a reference to his dwarf identity, i just think its neat. Appletun is an apple pie, and Farfetch'd seems like a nice pokemon to help you make food.

Chilchuck: With Chilchuck i wanted to both think of his status as the party rogue/trap disarmer and his position as a family man at heart. I wanted to reference his politics, but found it hard to represent with pokemon. First up we have Thievul, which is just a great fit for him. Its a thief fox that steps around silently, i think he would really like this thing. Klefki is his disarming tools. Maushold is him and his family. I think Pyukumuku is actually the best representation of him. Its small, and mostly utility focused, which is really his place in the party. However its also really cool so theres that, i guess. Lastly Galarian Stunfisk represents traps, and Gimmieghoul is his (least) favourite monster The Mimic.

Izutsumi: I wanted to emphazise that shes both a cat and a angsty teenager, but ended up with a very edgy team. I suppose it fits her though. Liepard is a scheming cat pokemon. It also fits because it has a rivalry with Thievul, which is in Chilchucks team. I think it was a nice fit as they basically have a grumpy dad/teenage daughter relationship at times. Sneasel is a mischievous little guy, which is basically a description of Izutsumi. Greninja is a ninja, and Luxio kinda looks like Izutsumi. Zoroark and Umbreon are both pretty edgy pokemon which i loved as a teenager, but i do think they fit her design. This is probably the weakest team on this list, but I still feel it fits her a lot.

Falin: I wanted to represent Falins place in the story, aswell as some of her likes. Dracozolt is a direct reference to her status as a hybrid bird/dragon/human monster. Its a perfect fit really. Hatterene represents her status as a "damsel in distress" that the party need to save. Although i think shes more than that, I felt it fit as Hatterene also has powerful magic. Oranguru i thought was a funny pick, i think it fits her healing mage aesthetic, and they basically have the same design really. Scolipede is a reference to her love of bugs and Reuniclus is both a psychic type and a body. I think it was a nice fit for her. Lastly we have Alolan Marowak, who in design is an exorcist, which is a nice little nod to her and Laios' conversation when they were children. Her potentially becoming a wandering exorcist.

And thats that. I made this just for fun so there are probably better choices for some of the characters. thanks.

Go

Crobat is my Ace. The fact it evolves through friendship and is actually stong is so cool to me.

Porygon and its evolutions are just so cute to me. And it has many unique gimmicks I love.

Breloom is one of my first Pokémon in the games. A little weak but it’s very sweet.

Sawsbuck has a beautiful gimmick with the seasons. And it’s a surprisingly strong pokemon.

Spheal is Spheal. Baby.

Houndoom is a Pokémon that gets a lot of hate in the Pokédex. I think it would be an amazingly cool pet, despite its reputation. Give it love.

[obscuriites]

octopath 2 as pokemon trainers! extended commentary (SPOILERS FOR BASICALLY EVERYONE'S STORY) under cut so it doesn't take up 2+ pages. Please do not think too hard about the trainer sprite choices 💗

Okay! Some of these were really easy to make (Ochette, Castti and Temenos), and some were... a bit of a challenge (Partitio and Throné)

Ochette:

VERY self explanatory. Solgaleo is Juvah (white lion), Decidueye is a combination of Mahina and Ochette's hunter class (owl and elemental arrows), Thieval is.. a fox resembling Akalā that's physical based, Shiny Magikarp is Acta (not that good, evolves after putting in a lot of effort), Turtonator is Tera (anatomy, typing), and finally, Articuno is clearly Glacis (Legendary ice bird)

Ochette's whole story is about collecting legendaries, of course her team is half legendaries and pseudo-legendaries

Castti:

Here, we start to have some more pokemon that integrate character's personality. Mega Kangaskhan is Castti's very mother bear-esque personality, nurturing yet ready to chop off someone's limbs anytime. Combusken is also an extension of this (with Castti often being called a mother hen). For some reason to me, Combusken felt more fitting to me than Blaziken, probably because it resembles a chicken more.

Lapras! This one has two reasons. It knows Sing (Castti's nighttime path action knocking people out), and Surf (We all know Castti's history with maritime traveling). Its personality also matches with Castti's drive to care for everyone.

Breloom was chosen because of its Poison Heal ability combined with it's grass/poison duotyping. Torkoal is similar as it was chosen because of it's drought ability. Both of these tie into her final chapter.

Mamoswine is Wooly-Ooly 🙂

Throné:

Lillipup is her buppy 🙂... + the pokedex entry for shield

Klefki is Throné's keys for her collar coming from her parents (Klefki can learn thief, her thief parents carry her keys)

Tandemous, the Couple Pokemon, represents Mother and Father! They both teach moves to Throné that she uses throughout her life (Charm, Thief, Substitute, etc.)

Sneasler is Throne's (NO ACCENT, MY CTRL-V BROKE FOR TUMBLR ONLY.) collar, with the ability Poison Touch. Its lone wolf personality, combined with its general abilities works well as Throne.

Seviper is a black snake. Dodrio is meant to represent the structure of The Blacksnakes though, constantly fighting with its other heads until one becomes the "leader".

Overall I did try to give Throne more speedy pokemon to fit her class and Aeber's Reckoning.

Osvald:

Drampa! This represents his fatherly personality that he keeps behind his scary looks. It's very Osvald-coded to me, can you please just look at its pokedex entries? (burning homes to the ground. haha. it's almost like his third chapter... and his backstory)

Charizard is his ever-burning flame in his chest, his life. Blaziken is like this except for its extra fighting typing as well as it's ability to learn Knock Off, an move that damages opponents while also removing their items (Mugging)

Alakazam... let me just pull up the dex entry. This also ties into Osvald's "Calculations complete!" battle line.

Golurk is Rita (I didn't want to do Golem the pokemon so I chose the next best thing, and the ghost typing helps. I'm so sorry.), Kirlia is Elena (beautiful child, only becoming more beautiful through a better environment)

Partitio:

This is a trainwreck (cue boos). Partitio is the result of me throwing things together despite him being one of my favorite Octopath characters.

I tried to give a lot of his pokemon a secondary business advantage!

Fidough is one of these! It's bread, one of the things he could barely get enough of as a child. Fidough can kickstart the fermenting process w its yeast and it's adorable. Its also Garnet 2, less of a meanie.

Shuckle... hah. Shucks. Another one for the business advantage of berry juice (unless that harms it. then it's there for comedy). Good at foraging, probably a Partitio trait.

Snorlax um... rest move... Partitio's nap action. Needs high friendship to evolve.

Rapidash is from Partitio being described as a wild stallion as well as it's ability to learn Ember, magic that Partitio also knows.

Meowth is there because it holds an Amulet Coin, acting as the Grows on Trees ability

Musharna is Partitio's dreams and how he's made his big dreams help the whole world defeat poverty 🙂

Agnea:

Okay, there's a lot of obvious dancers here. There's also a lot of grass/bug types to show that she's a countrygirl from the Leaflands

Hitmonlee is there because it's the first kicker of the fighting types (Dancer's Ruinous Kick). It's flexible also, like Agnea (I assume superstar dancers are ?? really flexible???)

Leavanny, while it is graceful, only knows Swords Dance. Leavanny is actually meant to represent Agnea's father, with its ability to make clothing (See below).

I chose Oricorio's Baile form as Agnea wears a more flamenco-esque dress

Swoobat is there because of its klutz/clumsy ability (we are introduced to Agnea by helping her find her lost purse), and because of its heart stamp attack (This references the travel banter between Agnea and Temenos in her final chapter where he tries to teach her how to remember each of the 8 gods, "Dancers seal with a kiss".)

Clefairy is just very Agnea to me, very cute and adorable little fairy.

Roserade is a straight forward Agnea reference, grass dancer

Temenos:

We start off with a Crick reference right away: Honedge. It's a steel-ghost, just like Crick 🙂. Unevolved base form pokemon, like how Crick is only a "newly anointed knight". Also bc Crick uses swords, I'm sorry.

(Mega) Houndoom is Temenos, the Pontiff's Hound. Having Temenos be a dark type fits him best, considering how he barely fits into the church and brings down the Sacred Guard.

Lycanroc's Midnight form is what Roi looks like to me. That's it.

Hatterene is Temenos'... off-putting nature ("Omg so cute ^_^ wait holy shit what's wrong with you" energy) as well as his inquire ability (see below). Disarming voice is like Breaking during an Inquisition in my head. Dazzling Gleam is like Holy Light. Misty Explosion is like Temenos' EX Heavenly Shine, except with swapped consequences (Misty Explosion wipes out your entire HP bar, Heavenly Shine wipes out your entire SP bar).

WOOLOO. MY LITTLE LAMB!

Zoroark is Temenos' mask, that only comes off at the very end of the game. He's the black sheep of the church. He's lonely, but he's there. Does anyone hear me. Literally look 🔽

AND FINALLY. HIKARI:

Samurott. It's a sword-wielding pokemon. It's a samurai. Hikari needs water.

Machamp is Mugen, look at those arms.

Braviary is an eagle, like Kuzan! With the psychic typing of its second form, it reminds me of Kuzan's transition in the end from being Ku's greatest tactician to Oboro of the Moonshade Order who revived Vide.

Arctozolt is Rai Mei, electric ice type (electric abilities living in Stormhail). The only one in pokemon.

Mightyena is well. Hikari's loyalty reminds me of pack animal behavior (lovingly). It also knows Swagger and Taunt which reminds me of Incite.

Marowak is there because Bone Rush reminds me Aggressive Slash as both are multi-hit moves. See also, its dex entries

[gothamcitycentral]

Conrtoversial onion: object Pokemon are good and to point at them as proof that they "ran out of ideas" is ridiculous because 1. they make up a very small percentage of any dex, really and 2. it does take a lot of creativity to take something that isn't even alive and make it feel like it could be. Garbodor is my best friend

YES. Especially because object mon are so often judged completely at 1st glance instead of being examined for what they fully are. A Pokémon shouldn’t be given value based on “object or not” but rather how they use “object” in their design

The Garbordor line, Klefki, and the Chandelure line are pretty frequently harped on, but I think they all use the nature of “object” very well.

Trubbish and Gardordor aren’t plain old piles of trash. First, they use trash bags to give them dimension and proper shape. Then they use that shape to give cues to alley / trash cats (Trubbish being featured in official artwork with other cat mon) and literal dust bunnies. Furthermore, I hate the notion that they’re an example of “running out of ideas”, Unova is based on New York City, of course they’d take a jab at pollution, especially since they complete the trifecta of Muk and Weezing. Water pollution, air pollution, and now land pollution. Not to mention that to me, they just look like friends! They don’t even have a foul order if eating a proper diet.

Klefki is, well, easy to insult. It’s design on it’s own doesn’t move very fair beyond keychain, a personified, charming, and very cute keychain, but still a keychain. However, if you look at them as whole, it’s concept is crystal clear. It’s a Fairy type, after all. It’s a very common trope for fae creatures to take interest in human objects and such without quite understanding what they are. Klefki is fascinated by keys, so collect keys it will.

When it comes to the Litwick, Lampent, and Chandelure, the immediate thing to acknowledge is that they are, well, ghosts. The possession of objects is ghost trope 101. Even then, they’re not just possessed objects. Litwick’s nature as a melting candle is used to personify it, it has a little hair cut, a mischievous grin, and tiny little hands. It creates a simultaneous cute and sinister character very effectively. Design trends like these carry throughout the line. Lampent uses its fire to form a mouth and its handles to create surprisingly natural arms. The artwork of real life chandeliers is used give Chandelure very seamless eyes and mouth, along with its candle holding features becoming still expressive arms. Three stage lines run the risk of middle stage syndrome, where the middle stage is an awkward middle ground between the first and final stages. Lampent however, can function completely on its own. This line uses a very natural progression of different objects to advance through evolution that gives each stage its own identity. Furthermore candles, lanterns, and chandeliers are very ghostly I’d say. How common is it in ghost media would a character take a candle stick or lantern to guide them through the haunted house or forest? Making it so that the candle is what’s haunting you all along, is brilliant.

Even with Pokemon I don’t like all that much on a personal level, there’s still merit to their designs.

Voltorb and Electrode don’t seem like all that much on their own. They’re just living Pokeballs, how lazy! You have to realize that they’re Pokémon’s installment of the RPG trope of mimics. You’re supposed to go after them thinking “oh cool an item!” only to be met with either angry eyes or a smug grin that explodes in your face. It’s genuinely clever and charming when properly contextualized.

Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe aren’t my favorite Pokémon, but I strongly disagree that they’re “just floating ice cream”. The line uses snow to decorate themselves to charm their way close to prey so they can freeze them to death. Those aren’t even their eyes, just apart of their charmingly innocent ruse. I particularly like their cones, using sharply defined icicles to be their base body is genuinely cool. I also like this small bit of world building with just their existence, there’s an implication that the Pokemon world invented ice cream from inspiration from these mons.

TLDR: Object mon are good, actually.

Hashiras as Pokémon Gym Leaders!

what better first post than combining two of my greatest loves together? i felt that giving the hashiras 1 type to work with would be too cliché, so i gave them a second one that would work with them as well! maybe i spent too much time putting together their parties...but ultimately it was worth it. i really enjoyed writing for them, and i want to hear how you feel about them being gym leaders in a pokémon game! (i'd never stop replaying that version if it were real...)

Kyojuro Rengoku - fire, obviously; steel, less obviously ❥ so obviously, he would be a fire gym leader, right? probably chose a Charmander as his starter years ago and never strayed from the cute fire-breathing baby since they were the same. the rengoku's probably raise all the fire starters as a family tradition anyways ❥ he's got a lot of other pokémon that he adores, but he always gravitates towards the ones that can benefit from his training and vice versa ❥ his full party: Litleo, Fletchinder, Magmortar, Arcanine, Chandelure, Charizard ❥ kyojuro is 100% a steel type gym in disguise. his personality says it all. his determination, his drive, everything he stands for is as unbendable and unwavering as steel. (let's not get started about his body...) ❥ yeah, yeah, steel is super weak to fire, but in kyojuro's case? they make each other stronger in any other way that they can. they solidify wishes and goals and go for it ❥ his full party: Mawile, Klefki, Metagross, Corviknight, Steelix, Aegislash

Giyu Tomioka - water, obviously; ghost, less obviously ❥ as a water hashira, he'd be a water type gym leader. he chose little Oshawott as his starter and loves him greatly, they're quite literally inseparable. ❥ giyu doesn't pay much attention to his pokémon nor does he go out with the intention of training and capturing more, but this one bidoof has been by his side...even after it evolved into a bibarel... ❥ his full party: Shellder, Seadra, Sharpedo, Wailord, Walrein, Samurott ❥ he's distant and cold sometimes, but he ultimately means well, or at least he tries to convey that. people like him, right? shinobu is just teasing him any chance she gets, right? ❥ did i say sometimes? his ghost pokémon rat his real emotions out to people if he isn't watching, they just want the best for him! ❥ his full party: Corsola, Mimikyu, Gengar, Dragapult, Mismagius, Froslass

Obanai Iguro - poison, obviously; ground, less obviously ❥ kaburamaru picked his starter when he was younger, sobble. though throughout obanai's teen years, he trained closely with a bulbasaur instead. ❥ obanai likes to pretend that he doesn't care what happens to his companions, but the second the battle is over, he's hovering over each pokémon, ensuring that each feels cared for. ❥ his full party: Skrelp, Croagunk, Arbok, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Venusaur ❥ obanai is a hardened soul but is still a softy after you get past kaburamaru and his own tough, rough skin. hold him gently and he'll melt without realising, like eroding ground. ❥ he gets mad when he does find out that his pokemon have been meddling in his life, though, so be careful! he's not easy to win back at alI. ❥ his full party: Drilbur, Krokorok, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Sandaconda, Garchomp

Sanemi Shinazugawa - flying, obviously; fighting, less obviously ❥ sanemi is pretty reserved when it comes to his pokémon, but there's no denying that he has a soft spot for the bird species. he trained with a grass/flying type starter but later realised it was no longer flying. ❥ his pokémon may be free-spirited from time to time, but whenever he calls for them, they're by his side within seconds. his pokémon automatically give him tailwind whether he needs it or not. ❥ his full party: Rookidee, Drifloon, Gliscor, Archeops, Toucannon, Decidueye ❥ he isn't so much as a "go with the flow" guy as much as he just appreciates the ebb and flow of the air currents and he expects the same of his winged companions. ❥ he enjoys the rush of the wind, whether it's on the back of his pokémon or he's running right alongside them, though he loves the confrontation on the ground and will never pass a one-on-one fight ❥ his full party: Hawlucha, Kommo-o, Bewear, Scrafty, Machamp, Decidueye

Tengen Uzui - psychic, obviously; dark, less obviously ❥ his exceptional hearing doesn't discriminate when it comes to pokemon that he's raising. the louder, the better, he says...to everyone, though his wives would disagree... ❥ in another life he could've been a conductor but he wouldn't trade his life for another anyways. between him and his wives, he's got enough to deal with ❥ his full party: Bruxish, Gothita, Malamar, Rapidash, Alakazam, Delphox ❥ alongside his wives and him was a lone froakie, which later became his own cherished pokémon, as well as his wives' ❥ tengen may be very good at distinguishing sounds, but he lets his pokémon make as much white noise as want, even if he needs to concentrate on a mission ❥ his full party: Absol, Deino, Grimmsnarl, Honchkrow, Malamar, Greninja

Mitsuri Kanroji - fairy, obviously; dragon, less obviously ❥ she starts every battle by sending out her pokémon with a kiss. it's fitting that every pokemon she has is in a love ball since she's the love hashira. ❥ her pokemon are as graceful and tough as she is, both in appearance and battle. she's always making treats for every one of them, and especially herself! ❥ her full party: Togetic, Kirlia, Hatterene, Grimmsnarl, Alcremie, Altaria ❥ she’s one of two women who’ve become hashira, so she must be strong, right? in another life she could’ve been a ballerina of sorts, or any other profession that let her express her strength equally to her beauty. in this one, it means she harbors dragon types under her wing. ❥ don’t underestimate mitsuri and her cute stature or you’ll be sorry. she may be looking to marry, but you’ve got to show you love her dragons as much as she does… ❥ her full party: Dreepy, Dragonair, Goodra, Salamence, Garchomp, Altaria

Shinobu Kocho - bug, obviously; ice, less obviously ❥ her butterfly attire gives her typing away just like the original gym leaders. it’s only fitting that the butterfly mansion is home to bug types as well as the injured. ❥ she’d never admit that her favorite is her butterfree, but there’s a reason her haori matches the wing patterns near perfectly. confront her about it and you’ll likely be poisoned one way or another ❥ her full party: Skorupi, Whirlipede, Accelgor, Butterfree, Yanmega, Frosmoth ❥ have you seen the look in her eyes? or heard the way she talks to Giyu? she can be cold when she needs to (or wants to) so it only makes sense that the chilly Pokémon have flocked around her ❥ if you let her warm up to you she might show you some tricks her ice types have picked up, like how to beat rengoku’s fire types or how to make nifty potions for battle ❥ her full party: Sneasel, Lapras, Ninetales, Dewgong, Avalugg, Frosmoth

Gyomei Himejima - rock, obviously; grass, less obviously ❥ as the stone hashira, he has strong connection with rock types that are resilient as he is. they love joining him during training sessions and will often practice when he is ❥ his party's defense is so high, you'll likely have to whittle them down little by little. you'll be lucky to take a chip out of them before they trap you in a tomb ❥ his full party: Rockruff, Lairon, Bastiodon, Tyrantrum, Omastar, Cradily ❥ the rock types he works with are tough and hardened, but the grass types he works with a flowy and flexible. they may look super tough on the outside, but they're soft on the inside ❥ his grass types love practicing with him, especially when he's water training. show up with a water type of any kind and they'll show you who's boss ❥ his full party: Gossifleur, Skiddo, Ferrothorn, Shiftry, Torterra, Cradily

Muichiro Tokito - normal, obviously; electric, less obviously ❥ his aloofness definitely takes a part in what Pokémon stay by him throughout his journey. normal types are unaffected by his amnesiac tendencies and care for him all the same. ❥ he might forget who is in his lineup, but he’ll always put on a worthy battle even if it takes him until halfway through to realize he might lose. don’t let him remember there’s a badge on the line and he might spare your party of Pokémon… ❥ his full party: Spinda, Minccino, Wigglytuff, Snorlax, Slaking, Heliolisk ❥ the blankness in his eyes can be fierce like a storm. if you get on his nerves, he might just lash out with everything he's got. you won't want to get caught in the spark. ❥ while his party is sparky and electrifying, he can still be pretty absent-minded and forget to pay attention to them. they remind him with a little spark and sometimes you'll even see him play with them. ❥ his full party: Pincurchin, Magnemite, Toxtricity, Ampharos, Electrode, Heliolisk
