Larry with pregnant! S/o
Larry being cute over his pregnant significant other
Sfw cut for length
Cw: pregnancy, domestic
Tumblr media
It is no secret that Larry is a busy person. He takes his job as not only an accountant but a gym leader and an elite four member very seriously and somehow still has time for all three and to have a pretty average romantic life.
His life was just about to get busier when you announced your pregnancy to him. Those onyx eyes widened in surprise as his lips parted, the most emotion you've seen from him since the two of you got together. Covering his mouth with his hand, you could see his cheeks and his ears Flushing as those onyx eyes of his sparkled with Glee. Felt the butterflies in his stomach, the same butterflies he had felt when he first fell for you.
Surprised to no one he still came into work for a while but a shock to everyone he started coming to work not on time 9:00 on the dot no this time he would come early,. In Larry's brain he wanted to be an excellent husband and father of your child and provide for the both of you, he didn't expect you to work in fact he himself would slightly discourage you from working, but he would remind you that it is your choice.
You noticed ever since the reveal of your pregnancy; your lover had become a little extra protective over you. Occasionally he would fret about sharp objects, furniture, and Pokemon, your safety when you are home alone. He called or texted to check in almost every hour when he was in the bathroom on break or between battles when he waited eagerly for the next Challenger.
When his coworkers asked about Larry coming in early, he dropped the news of your pregnancy months after you had told him(Larry is bad at telling people things). Hassle, with great interest, asks how far you are, and when Larry answers, Geeta, with a confused look on her face, responded, "What are you doing here then?" And thus his boss & his coworkers all collectively convinced him to finally use his vacation hours and go home✨
Here he was paid vacation, and all this free time. You are happy that partner and honestly a little surprised that Larry decided to stay home with you you knew how busy he was and didn't want to get in the way of his work.
Ever since Larry started to stay home, you begin to notice more things how his hand would idly start to drift towards your pregnant stomach. Your Larry before was never one for physical affection, but now, it seems He couldn't keep his hands off you.
Larry's fretting has gotten worse; now, suddenly, you're not allowed to do any more physical labor anymore. The guy even started cooking/bringing home food. Anytime he saw you doing something anything, he would say, "Here, let me help." and suddenly, he's doing the entire thing by himself while you're just standing there. You always hear him ask you if you need anything.
Larry was not used to having so much free time, so much so that he still kept himself busy attending to you; now that Larry was home, suddenly, you are no longer allowed to move from your bedroom. At the same time, Larry promised that he'd have a whole room remodeled into a nursery for the baby. It was lovely of him to think about your aching body, but you really wanted to help because this was your baby too.
Larry was a pretty average cook, but he always tried to make or get anything you craved.
His Staraptor would always try to settle atop your stomach as if you were its nest; you think it's the cutest thing, but Larry worried that his partner's sharp claws piercing your stomach would remove his bird Pokemon from you.

Hi! Can I request romantic relationship headcanons for Pokémon Clavell, Hassel, Brassius, and Larry with gender neutral s/o?
Dating Clavell, Hassel, Brassius and Larry headcannons
Pairing: Clavell, Hassel, Brassius and Larry x gn!reader (separated)
Warnings: none
A/N: this one took a lot of time! Sorry for that, hope you enjoy!
Clavell
Tumblr media
His role as the principal at Naranja/Uva Academy in the Paldea region would mean that he approaches relationships with a sense of responsibility.
At the core of your relationship with him would be a sense of understanding and respect. He values your company and appreciates the moments of affection you share, even though his reserved nature might not always allow him to express his emotions openly. While he may not readily show his feelings, his actions speak volumes – whether it's through a thoughtful gesture or a genuine concern for your well-being.
His strict demeanor, shaped by his professional role, would occasionally surface, but it would be tempered by his underlying kindness. You'd come to appreciate his ability to handle even the most challenging situations with a level-headed approach, providing a sense of stability and security in your relationship.
As a couple, you'd find yourselves embarking on quiet yet meaningful moments together. Perhaps you'd share walks through the academy's picturesque gardens, engaging in deep conversations about your dreams and aspirations. Clavell's support for your endeavors would be unwavering, and he'd encourage you to pursue your passions with a quiet determination.
His dedication to his students and their well-being would extend to his role as a partner. He'd pay close attention to your needs, offering guidance and advice when sought. While he may not be one to overtly shower you with affection, his gestures would be meaningful and sincere – a cup of your favorite tea waiting for you after a long day, a shared glance that conveys understanding, or a comforting hand on your shoulder when you need it most.
Occasionally, you'd catch glimpses of his softer side, moments when he allows himself to let his guard down. Perhaps it's a smile that lingers a little longer than usual or a tender touch that reveals the depth of his feelings. These fleeting moments would serve as a reminder of the genuine connection you share and the affection that exists beneath his composed exterior.
While Clavell might not readily express his emotions, the love and care he holds for you would be a constant presence in your relationship. With him, you'd experience a love that is steady, enduring, and grounded in a shared understanding of each other's ambitions and aspirations.
Hassel
Tumblr media
Dating Hassel would offer you a unique blend of intelligence, deep emotional connections, and a passion for creativity that transcends the ordinary. His ability to immerse himself in the world of art and his sincere dedication to his craft would shape the dynamics of your relationship in profound ways.
Hassel's tendency to take things seriously and emotionally, regardless of how small they may seem, would reveal a side of him that is authentic and deeply connected to his feelings. This emotional depth would lead to moments of vulnerability, where he might shed tears in response to significant events or when he's moved by something that strikes a chord within him.
When it comes to art, Hassel's enthusiasm is palpable. Conversations about artistic expression would lead him to delve into lengthy discussions about the various forms that art takes, the pursuit of perfection, and the beauty of symmetry – a reflection of his own deep appreciation for the subject. You'd find yourself captivated by his insights, his passion contagious as he shares his thoughts and experiences.
In your relationship, Hassel's emotional nature would manifest in ways that are both heartwarming and endearing. He might surprise you with heartfelt gestures – a handpicked bouquet of wildflowers that perfectly embodies the beauty of imperfection, or a handwritten note that expresses his emotions with eloquence.
While he's known for his serious demeanor, Hassel's emotional side would also extend to moments of shared joy and laughter. Together, you'd experience the elation of discovering a hidden gem in an art gallery or the delight of creating something beautiful with your own hands. These moments of shared happiness would forge a bond that is rich with emotion and understanding.
As your relationship deepens, you'd become a source of inspiration for Hassel. He'd find solace in your presence and a safe space to express his feelings openly. The times when he lets his guard down and sheds a tear in your company would be a testament to the trust and intimacy you've cultivated together.
In the intricate tapestry of your love story with Hassel, you'd discover a man who is not only intellectually stimulating but also emotionally profound. His commitment to art, his deep emotional connections, and his penchant for seeing the world through a unique lens would create a relationship that is rich, meaningful, and filled with moments of artistic and emotional resonance.
Brassius
Tumblr media
It would be a journey of self-discovery, shared passions, and a deep connection that blooms like the most exquisite flower. His dedication to his craft and his enigmatic approach to art would shape a relationship that is both inspiring and full of intrigue.
Brassius' determination to create art would resonate with your own drive for self-improvement. Your shared desire to become the best versions of yourselves would create a strong foundation for your relationship. Together, you'd encourage each other to push boundaries, explore new horizons, and continuously evolve. Just as Brassius approaches his art with unwavering commitment, you'd embark on a journey of personal growth side by side, motivated by the mutual aspiration to reach new heights.
The sense of mystery that Brassius feels when working on his art projects would align with your own inclination to explore the depths of your inner self. Your communication would be marked by a shared fascination with uncovering the layers that make you who you are. Deep conversations about your dreams, fears, and aspirations would become a cornerstone of your relationship.
In Brassius' presence, you'd find a kindred spirit who not only appreciates your artistic passions but also shares them. The two of you would spend hours immersed in creative pursuits, whether it's painting, sculpting, or simply appreciating the beauty of nature. Brassius' artistic insight and your own unique perspective would combine to create a dynamic partnership that fuels your shared creative endeavors.
As your bond deepens, you'd discover the artistry that exists in the small moments of life. A sunrise over a tranquil meadow, the rustling of leaves in the wind, or the interplay of colors in a vibrant bouquet – these everyday experiences would take on a new dimension of beauty and significance as you and Brassius share them together.
Brassius' commitment to his gym duties and his artistic endeavors would be mirrored by your dedication to supporting his goals and aspirations. Just as he pours his heart into shaping the gym's environment and challenges, you'd stand by his side, providing unwavering encouragement and cheering him on every step of the way.
In return, Brassius' presence in your life would be a source of inspiration and wonder. His ability to find beauty in the ordinary, coupled with his mysterious charm, would keep your connection fresh and exciting. The moments when he unveils a new artistic creation or shares a personal insight would be met with genuine admiration and a shared sense of awe.
In the canvas of your relationship with Brassius, you'd paint a portrait of shared passions, mutual growth, and a love that thrives on the mystery and beauty of life itself. Together, you'd create an artistic masterpiece that captures the essence of your unique connection, a bond that grows stronger with each passing day.
Larry
Tumblr media
Dating Larry would lead you on a journey of quiet companionship, gentle understanding, and a love that thrives in simplicity. His calm and relaxed demeanor would provide a tranquil backdrop to your relationship, while his genuine care and thoughtfulness would create a bond that runs deep.
Larry's love for all things "normal" would align with your own appreciation for life's simple pleasures. Together, you'd find joy in everyday moments – a leisurely stroll in the park, savoring a home-cooked meal, or sharing stories by a cozy fire. His relaxed nature would encourage you to embrace the present and find contentment in the little things.
While Larry's initial shyness and reserved demeanor might create a quiet atmosphere, his warmth and friendliness would shine through once you break through his shell. As you spend more time together, you'd discover his endearing quirks and the charming way he opens up to you. His soft-spoken nature would create a space for heartfelt conversations and genuine connection.
Larry's inclination for organization and tidiness would blend seamlessly with your own desire for a well-structured life. Together, you'd find comfort in creating an environment that reflects your shared values – a cozy home where everything has its place, a sanctuary of calm amidst the chaos of the outside world.
His dedication to work would be a proof of his unwavering commitment to his passions. You'd come to admire his diligence and determination, and you'd be there to offer your support as he invests time in his pursuits. Whether it's tending to his Pokémon or working on personal projects, your presence would be a source of encouragement and comfort.
Larry's caring and supportive nature would shine through in the thoughtful gestures he showers upon you. From surprise notes expressing his affection to small acts of kindness that show he's thinking of you, his love language would speak volumes. His commitment to making you feel loved and appreciated would be unwavering, and you'd come to cherish the quiet moments of tenderness he shares.
While Larry may prefer the tranquility of home, you'd find comfort in your shared space, knowing that you have a partner who understands and respects your need for solitude. His willingness to make an effort to ensure your happiness would be a testament to the depth of his affection.

Random pokemon headcannon - Hop, Marnie and Bede all have different accents.
Galar is basically the UK but flipped upside down, so I imagine Hop and Leon would have scottish/northern accents. Leons isn't as strong as Hops because he's been travelling around for champion duties.
Bede has a Cockney/Londoner accent. He spends most of the time putting on a typical British accent for publicity but if you piss him off, his actual accent starts to come out.
Marnie and Piers would have Liverpudlian accents. Most of Team Yell probably would too.
(Might change some of these in the future but theirs so many different accents to choose from)

Tinkaton line in Galar
Motions to completely ban the Tinkaton line in Galar were not well supported, however the laws surrounding them are very strict. 
Trainers must have a specific license to have one, as well as insurance for any damage they may cause. When entering the region (or receiving them via transfer), the trainer must sign an acknowledgement that any damage or injury received due to negligence, or releasing one into the wild can result in prison time. The maximum sentence for releasing one is 10 years. Local law enforcement also must be made aware of their presence. Naturally, Corviknight Taxis have banned them from their services, and any interference with them can result in a trainer losing their license.

Ms Elisa my friend Kivo got an egg and it recently hatched into a cyclizar and this is his first pokemon do you have any tips on taking care of them? Oh and here's what they look like
•°[Photo ID: A baby cyclizar with lighting blue eyes, it's blepping at the camera]°•
-@safrina-shards
I have to say, a baby dragon type is not something I would recommend as a first partner Pokémon. Both dragons and babies need lots of specialized care, and combined makes for practically a full time job. My first recommendation to your friend would be to find a specialist who could take over for them. If they are dead set on keeping the little guy, I can offer a few tips, but they really should seek help from someone who works with dragons more.
Reptilian hatchlings often go a few days to a week or so before they eat their first meal. They are still absorbing the yolk and don't necessarily need to eat until after their first shed. Speaking of shedding, they will do so quite frequently while they grow. The best thing you can do to help them shed is offer them a humid environment. Your friend can bring the baby into the bathroom with them while they shower, and the steam will help loosen the skin. Do not try to peel it off yourself, as you can rip the new skin underneath. The most common places for shed to get stuck are the toes, eye caps, and nostrils. Again, humidity is your friend for helping remove the skin, but if all else fails take them to the Pokémon Center and let a nurse help. If old skin gets stuck for too long, it can cut off circulation and lead to amputation. As far as diet goes, I believe Cyclizar are carnivores. Some reptilians do okay on a dried bug-meal diet, but some would rather starve than eat anything but live prey. Either way, make sure to dust the food with mineral powder (which can be found at any Pokémart) to ensure they are getting the proper nutrition. Other foods can be given as occasional snacks, but avoid anything super processed, high in fat, sugar, or sodium, and things like chocolate and onions which are toxic to most Pokémon. For enrichment, you have to keep in mind that Cyclizar are persistence predators, able to chase their prey for miles to wear it down. Long walks while it is still small, and lots of riding time when it gets old enough, are the best ways to provide exercise and enrichment for them. Cyclizar are not often interested in battle, though there are exceptions. Most of them would rather serve as house 'mon or ride 'mon, and make very loyal companions to trainers who take good care of them. Good luck you guys, let me know if I can do anything for you and your new friend!

Form the desk of Prof. Apricot
Empowered Human Classification, and Scaling.(E.H.C.C)
“Humans are pokemon and the insistence that we are not has limited our view on what our species can do . I plan to change that. often the first step in understanding is classification and in this list, I hope to provide a framework for myself and others to understand themselves in relationship to other. My framework is not meant to act as a hard set of rules but as a guideline for other set themseld in and in doing so discover .”
-Quoted form Professor Abigail Apricot

Ok so picture this- its a few years after the events of pokemon bw2, and Ghetsis and N are talkin because theyre trying to reconnect or something. N says that ghetsis should learn how to be nice to pokemon (since he never really learned how, with the way he grew up). Ghetsis reluctantly arees, so N goes out and catches him a Deino and teaches him how to care for her and be gentle with her. They name her fluffy too just thought i’d throw that in. Fluffy is a little scared of Ghetsis even though he’s trying his best.
“Maybe it’s just her...” N says. The next day he shows up with ANOTHER deino and says “maybe this one will like you better.”
It’s the same thing with Dave, the new deino. Ghetsis is trying his best but dave gets scared whenever ghetsis tries to pet him.
N gets ANOTHER
at this point ghetsis is startting to get frustrated at the deinos and mad at N. He tries to be nice to them but they keep etting scared of him and n keeps getting more. By the third month they have 16. (and ghetsis has gotten slightly close to his old pokemon).
Then all of a sudden the deinos just start to love him. Every time he sits down they come running to sit on his lap. They all feel like they have to eat at once so ghetsis has to strule to remember to fill all of their bowls. They like to chew on his cape-cloak-thing-a-ma-bob and follow him everywhere. It’s overwhelming but at least he knows how to treat living creatures now.

In my adventures in the Great Crater, I am becoming skeptical that it was a time-displaced relative of Doniphan that harmed the original expedition's member, or at least that this was unprovoked. I spent some time interacting with a wild member of the species Iron Treads and did not feel in danger at any time.
Tumblr media
Day to day not much to look at. It must have some sort of other way to sense its surroundings as that face-plate would make seeing with its digital "eyes" extremely difficult.
Tumblr media
I'd wondered if I'd angered the creature. However, I now know that this pokemon suffers from RBF. Because moments later it was showing great joy. I'm starting to really consider that Heath's Publications might indicate that he was disrupting the local wildlife and angering it. None of the paradox pokemon have done anything but observe me so far.

TW: MENTION OF LOSING A LIMB/GORE MENTION please be advised.
Hello! I have a prompt where, the reader pushes there lover (warden Ingo, cyllene, laventon, adaman SEPARATE) away from an Alpha Pokemon attack and then get seriously injured (like losing a limb or something) and them crying and telling us off on how we could have died or grieving our death.
(both surviving and dying endings please)
Oh yes delicious angst! 👀
Cw: almost losing a limb/losing a limb, reader death, mourning, depression, angst no happy end.
Reader becoming severely injured or dying saving them.
Tumblr media
Warden Ingo
(Close call)
Ingo carried you, blood staining his coat and your outfit. He carried you going as fast as he humanly could down until the nearest doctor, anyone who could help—screaming for help, keeping you warm, and losing more blood in any way he could. When you finally wake up, Ingo is out of breath and on the verge of tears. He holds you close, tight, and protective. He couldn't get mad at you. He could never be mad. He was just relieved you were all right. However I would be lying if I said he wouldn't be a little more protective from now on.
(reader dead)
He stared at a shaky palm, remembering the way you went slack in his arms, bags under his eyes from sleepless nights filled with new and old nightmares. The painful feeling of losing something was so painful; however, what scared him more was that this feeling was familiar to him. The emptiness inside him was only doubled after. He can't even look at himself anymore because whatever stares back is your smiling face and deja vu. Even though he knows he must take care of himself, he has to admit it's hard even to bring himself to eat these days without looking over to your smiling face how he misses you're warmth in his arms. Now, all he feels is the cold, howling wind of Coronet Heights. Once again that loneliness fills him in this time; it will be there till his grave. Ingo cannot love again for he can not feel that love again.
Cyllene
(close call)
Survivors guilt, as you lie there on the ground losing blood at an alarming rate. She's frozen. She's almost in denial as other survey members rush to your limb body. Cyllene finally snaps out of it all. Her panic hits her all at once, barking orders to get you back to camp.
Unfortunately Pesselle running low on supplies and with time running out she wasn't sure she would be able to save you. Upon hearing this Revelation something inside her stoked a fire Cyllene took it upon herself to go out and find every single ingredients she needed helping her nurse you back to health, of course you being unconscious from blood loss for a few days you had no idea all you woke up to was an angry rant from a very very pissed captain.
(Death)
After all she did, she couldn't save you. Sadness and rage bubble into one, gritting her teeth, nails scratching at the cold ground; she wants to scream. Damn it why wasn't it her? Damn, it should have been her! The job of the Galaxy Core was to protect people and she couldn't even protect the one person she cared most. She needed to get stronger she needed to be more so this would never happen again. And that's why her heart grows three times colder that day.
Laventon
(close call)
Laventon drag you outside of Camp to look at some Pokemon well he asks you to ready your pokeballs for a catch, but he doesn't notice the alpha Garchomp that had their eyes on you. Everything was a blur then helplessly sitting still as the rest of Team Galaxy tried everything to use your Pokemon to fight the alpha back off as they get you back to safety. If only he could throw a Pokeball if he were good at raising Pokemon. Laventon felt like a burden to you here he was having you risk his life to do his work any friendly wake up he's on the verge of tears holding you closely his hands shaking the sinking feeling of uselessness does not leave.
(Death)
He drowns himself in his work. It is the only way to make him forget about his constant nightmares of that day. He still loves Pokemon. He does not blame Pokemon for taking your life, but he recognizes more than anyone else that Pokemon are as dangerous as they are fascinating. It'll be a while since he touches one without his heart beating with anxiety. He barely eats. He sleeps. All he does is work on his Pokedex. He has to finish it for your sake, or else all the dangerous work you did, the work you died for, will be for nothing, and when he finally finishes, it will say, "With the help of my beloved, thank you. I will miss you."
Adaman
(close call)
If it wasn't for Leafeon who growled at the large Pokemon making sure it didn't take a step closer as his human brother held you in his arms, blood staining his fingers. Leafeon successfully holding back the Pokemon that threatened your life walks over to Adaman whining as he looks your arm giving him a worried look. Adaman knows the natural remedies around these parts you are too far from the settlement and the village to take care of you so he does all that he can using leafeon's aromatherapy to soothe you as he begins to use natural herbs and revenues to calm the bleeding as much as he can while ripping apart his own clothes for makeshift bandages rumoring through your bag for anything he could use anything at all to help.
Upon waking up, Adaman almost tackles you, holding you close to his body, careful not to hurt you. He squeezes you gently. "You're an idiot..." he whispers, his hand shaking, his voice breaking. "don't you ever scare me like that again."
(death)
If only he was faster and in denial at the fact that your time has ended. If only he hadn't wasted his time, he could have gotten you to the settlement, and you would have been here. He felt like a failure, not only a failure of a friend but a failure of the leader of Diamond Clan. If he couldn't keep one person he loved alive, how could he keep his entire Clan alive? Time is truly short. However, some people, if unlucky, can be even shorter. He'll spend all his days morning into training, getting stronger in your name until he has passed out on the ground. He knows that he's just wasting his time and that no amount of tears will bring you back. He did not deserve you; you did not serve your time being robbed. The Lord Sinnoh is so cruel.

Having just finished up a year-long background design job for animation, I have spent the past two days tossing myself head-first into sketching Lance headcannons with wild abandon (its observational drawing practice, I swear).  I’ve recently found myself becoming slightly less satisfied with the ‘Lance-as-government-agent’ schtick he’s developed over the years, and realised I could slide him sideways into something perhaps even more dynamic and useful in the Poke-verse... So have some WIPs of fireman/air-sea rescue!Lance - featuring teenaged Galar-gap-year Lance and those iconic 80s UK fireman yellow plastic trousers!

Pokémon Gender and Breeding
Pokémon breed very differently in captivity compared to the wild. There are very few documented cases of Pokémon breeding ‘naturally’ in captivity. Instead, two Pokémon combine their life energy to create an egg. This is a very private affair. When breeding in this way, the egg is always the same species as the mother. There have been some cases of two males creating an egg, which is theorised to be how some all-male species reproduce.
Pokémon in the wild mate in much the same way as humans do. In most cases wild Pokémon mate only with their own species, but when they don’t, some of the clutch will usually be one species, while the rest will be another. All-female species tend to override this and will only produce eggs of their kind.
Different species can breed together so long as they are of the same egg group. Ditto are interesting as they can breed with almost any Pokemon, regardless of egg group or gender. Unfortunately, Ditto cannot produce a Ditto egg. It is currently unknown how they reproduce in any context.
Regional starter Pokémon always skew male. This is because breeders catch and raise a high number of female regional starters to keep up with demand. This has happened with a few other species also, namely Eevee. In many areas, this has led to numbers of wild starters and Eevees dwindling dangerously low. Efforts are being made to improve this. It is also much more likely for Pokémon restored from fossils to be male. Researchers are currently unsure if this is because these fossils are better preserved, if the restoration machines alter the sex, or some other reason.
Interestingly, some Pokémon change sex throughout their lives. Approximately 1/3 of female Azurill will evolve into Male Marill, but not the other way around. In rare cases, a female Espurr who has a preference for defence will become a male Meowstic, and a male Espurr with a preference for attack will become a female Meowstic. This is very uncommon and has only been documented a handful of times.
Gender Unknown Pokémon (sometimes referred to as Genderless Pokémon) reproduce in a variety of different ways. Most can combine their life energy with a Ditto to create an egg.
Despite being in the same evolutionary line, Staryu and Starmie reproduce very differently. Staryu reproduces asexually. Beneath their gem, they have a central disk which is pentametric. It drops an arm and 1/5 of this disk, which then grows the rest of its disk, arms, and orb. Only when it is fully grown can it battle. As it is effectively a replica of the original, a shiny Staryu will always produce shiny offspring. Starmie, on the other hand, produce sexually. Starmie do have a sex, though it is impossible to determine without killing it. They interlock with one or more partners and produce via external fertilization. Sometimes the young will attach themselves to their parents until they are properly developed. A shiny Starmie is no more likely to produce a shiny Staryu than a standard Starmie would.
Magneton breed by coming together in a group, much like Starmie. It is believed they combine their lifeforce (in the same way Pokémon can create eggs) into scrap metal and old appliances, and make Magnemite in their image. Magnemite cannot breed without evolving, as the process is too similar to joining up with others. The Klink line do the same with gears.
Voltorb and Electrode reproduce similarly to Magneton. When a group finds an abandoned pokéball (broken or whole), they put their lifeforce into it. This is believed to be why they no longer resemble old-style pokéballs, though theoretically it is possible. They do not appear to be interested in other types of pokéballs.
Groups of Solrock, and Lunatone come together in rocky fields during midday and midnight respectively. They perform an interesting ceremony, at the end of which the rocks become either Solrock or Lunatone.
Watching a Polteageist reproduce is quite interesting. Several Polteageist will gather around a teacup and simply pour into it. Documented cases have found anywhere from a 1 to 33  Polteageist to participate, though most commonly its between 3-7.
Dhelmise put their life force into seaweed and guide them to shipwrecks to merge with the debris.
Many artificial Pokémon simply create more of their kind. This has been documented with Golurk, Claydol, and Porygon.
It is believed that Cryogonal reproduce when melted into water vapour during the summer. Areas that never get warm enough for this tend to have very few Cryogonal, and often require human interference to maintain their populations.
As Tandemous and Maushold are considered a family group, they have been given ‘gender unknown’ status to encompass the whole group, though individually it is very easy to distinguish males and females. Maushold have never been seen reproducing. One day, their young just appear. When their young are big enough to fend for themselves, they will pair up with another and become a Tandemous. Within a day, the parents have more young.
Despite being ‘gender unknown’, Manaphy and Phione reproduce the same as any other Pokémon. It is believed they do have genders. Whether the egg hatches as a Manaphy or a Phione depends on the water temperature.
Research is being done to discover how other gender unknown Pokémon reproduce in the wild.
