Aegislash, Doublade and Honedge can sometimes be observed “hibernating” underground
These Pokémon will seek out and repurpose old Diggersby dens located near graveyards. These dens are well hidden, with only Aegislash’s shield being visible from the outside. They use these durable shields to block the entrance and will hold this position until they are ready to emerge, often several weeks later.
Though the purpose of this behaviour is not yet fully understood, the close proximity to graveyards have led researchers to suggest it may be a sort of nesting ritual. This theory claims that newly hatched Honedge spend their first few weeks in a dormant state while absorbing nearby spiritual energy. This may help nurture their spectral powers.
It is recommended that all graveyards regularly check surrounding areas for signs of these burrows.
Attempts to access the burrow, remove the shield or otherwise disturb the Pokémon inside is highly discouraged.

//You know how the pokemon world doesn't have animals (anymore), but still calls pokemon things like "the fox pokemon" or "the owl pokemon"? My headcanon for that is that those names are specific genuses the pokemon fall into, not actually just a specific animal. Like, how owls are called Strigiformes, but everyone just says owl instead. So in the world, people would look at pokemon like hoothoot and say, "Oh, it's an owl!" but referring to its genus, not so much its species. You understand?

teal mask/indigo disc kieran theory/thoughts (SPOILERS)
earlier, i was thinking about the ending of the teal mask (with kieran's dramatic about-face from practically being in love with the mc to deciding they're his mortal enemy now), and how carmine mentions a few times how he seems to be acting out of character
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
she asks you if "most people act up like that" and seems troubled when you say it's abnormal, even calling it "a bit scary", seemingly at a loss and not having seen this type of behaviour before, even if he does have a "bit of an ego" as she mentioned while ruminating on this, i remembered the part in the violet book where heath mentions finding pages of notes that he doesn't remember writing, having a dream of meeting something he doesn't remember
Tumblr media
what this says to me is that there is a possibility of some sort of possession-stuff going on with terapagos, or has happened in the past, and something similar could be happening to kieran
i wonder if the reason the loyal three were resurrected is because kieran subconsciously wished it in some way, like some sort of thought to himself where he wished to be stronger or if he could defeat them himself to earn ogerpon's trust, or hurt the pokémon that hurt her. i just find it interesting it exploded and they came back after he came near it and punched it (touching it, in that way) it seems at least, that the loyal three might have some connection to terapagos due to the descriptions under the three of them, specifically the wording of "wish", and evidently there's terastal energy and tera crystals present in kitakami so it's influence is present there
Tumblr media
my friend also pointed out that on the signboards around kitakami depicting the folktale, there seems to be a boy with a pokéball commanding the loyal three, seemingly wearing the toxic chain the loyal three have (and they don't have them in this depiction), when in the story it's never implied they ever had a trainer or owner
Tumblr media
this is probably reaching or tangential, but it's also interesting that he's the one with the violet/purple undercolour to his hair, the same colour as the chain (yes it's meant to parallel violet, but it could be multiple references) it wouldn't be the first time a character was intoxicated by poisons that heavily influenced their personality *coughs* lusamine *coughs* as well as sword in pokémon special via eternatus's poison in regards to him pulling his hair back at the end

PLA boys taking care of you when you're sick
Adaman 
the moment you feel something coming on, he’s insistent that you rest
he’ll continuously be warming soup for you
oh how he worries
but he puts on a smile and takes care of you to the best of his ability
he asks Mai to take on some of his duties/tasks so he can be with you at all times, and she’s happy to do so
but not before a slight argument about it
the cuddling will be nonstop
and you bet his and your Pokémon will be joining in
he keeps you SO warm
the forehead kisses are constant
he’ll even read/share bedtime stories with you if you’re willing to listen
anything you need, he’s on it
and once you feel better, he’s resuming his leadership duties
but he’s not taking his focus away from you
he’s got you by his side
“And don’t think for a moment that I’m gonna stop pampering you because you’re better… because I’m not.”
Volo
Volo is very much a wanderer
but when you’re sick, he’s staying put
he hates to see you in such a dreadful state
and he can’t bear to leave you until you’re feeling better
while you nap, he’s out collecting herbs and medicinal leeks 
he’ll make your favorite soup
and he’ll hand feed it to you
he’s a deranged; touch starved lunatic, so you bet he’s holding you at all times
his Arcanine will be your pillow (and your heat source)
and Togekiss is your entertainment
while he’s searching for herbs and leeks, he’ll also be hunting for little trinkets for you
because his poor, sick s/o has to have something special
this man has an ABUNDANCE of stories to share with you
and he’ll share ALL OF THEM, even if you don’t ask
once you’re feeling better, he’ll pack up and head out
you WILL be getting a kiss on the cheek (or lips) before he departs
“I’ll be back soon, y/n. If you start feeling ill again, I’ve left the recipe for the soup I made on the table.”
Melli
you’re sick, and Melli does NOT like that
he distances himself from you
and not just because of how gross you sound
but he’s TERRIFIED of getting sick himself
he’ll speak to you through letters delivered by Pokémon
and they’re very sweet letters
but once Adaman finds out that he’s ‘too good’ to take care of you…
you can hear that scolding from across the Diamond Clan settlement 
Melli will slowly approach you
and he’s absolutely disgusted
you can 10000000% tell that smile is forced
but once he settles in
he’s trying his best to help you
he’s hesitant to cuddle with you
but he assumes there’s no other choice
and once he feels how hot you are, he holds you a little tighter
since he’s here, he may as well be close to you
he apologizes for being rude, something he would NEVER do for anyone else
and he’ll send Pokémon to Adaman to request recipes for soups
you’ll probably end up making them yourself, though, because Melli can’t cook at all
he’ll learn eventually
once you start feeling better, Melli does indeed get sick
because he’s always running from illness, his immune system is a bit weaker
but you’re there for him regardless
“Can I have some soup?”

Pokemon theory time
So Porygon, right? For the longest time I found it weird that it was Normal type instead of Electric, despite being made of computer code.
Tumblr media
But the thought occurred to me: when any Pokemon gets stored in the PC, they must get converted to code from their Pokeballs, right? That doesn't make them Electric type, all Pokemon can be stored that way.
So my theory is: What if Porygon was used as a prototype to test the concept of the Pokemon Storage System?
(yes, this would mean that Bill would have worked on Porygon)
Creating Porygon would make sense as a way to test if converting a Pokemon into data was possible, and it wouldn't require testing on any existing Pokemon.
Hence the Normal typing: if Porygon was created to be an example of a "generic" Pokemon, Normal would be the most logical option for its creators to pick.
This could also explain the Porygon line's signature moves, Conversion and Conversion 2, which allow Porygon and its evolutions to change into any type. The PSS would likely have needed a way to make sure it could preserve a Pokemon's type, so having Porygon contain data to test all of them makes sense.

woe, Gladion redesign be upon ye
Tumblr media
Other hcs that i made up while editing:
- has a small hobby in drawing/painting w watercolours as a passtime
- likes rock music + all subgenres of rock. also a bit of metal (piers fan maybe,,,)
- got his porygon Z from pure coincidence while sneaking around the Aether foundation. it kind of just,,, latched onto him and didn’t leave.
- cracks his knuckles often (moreso out of habit than anything else)
- absolutely loves murder mysteries and won’t admit he likes dramas too
- genuinely talkative when he wants to be + if he’s comfortable. He prefers listening to people speak. super blunt most of the time but tries not to seem mean in front of younger kids
^ sucks with words/hardly talkative otherwise so he shows appreciation via acts of service, etc
- i’m a personal “Gladion leaves Alola to become a trainer” believer than a “Aether foundation leader Gladion” believer. get my boy OUTTA THERE
- has a noticeable/large birthmark surrounding his left eye. probably the reason he grew his hair out like that (maybe Lusamine has a similar birthmark …… and he hates the similarity…… )
- less of a hc and actually more canon if anything; surprisingly good w kids. have u seen him with kiawe’s younger sister AGH
- slightly uneasy around ghost pkmn for no other reason than the fact they find him easy to scare
- basically nocturnal
- team skull grunts find him kind of scary/intimidating lmfao
- easiest way to make friends w him is via pokemon battles

How The SW/SH Gym Leaders + Leon Would Ask You Out
I got one idea for Milo and my brain decided that I had to do this for everyone, you’re welcome /j
Milo
Let’s be honest, he’d do that tradition of giving you an Applin
It’s so simple, yet so sweet
Your Applin is best friends with his Flapple/Appletun
Nessa
I feel like she’d be so bold, yet so nervous at the same time
Eventually, she would give you an autograph
“- Nessa; Your #1 Fan”
Pray for her if you’re dense as hell
Kabu
Peepaw Kabu would’ve just walked up to you and asked you out
Nothing special, not nervous at all
Just straight up asks you
Gordie
Backflips
“Wanna go out with me?”
Okay, okay, seriously, he would use some of the cheesiest pickup lines
And maybe does a backflip
Melony
Honestly, she would probably be so over the top
Like, she would make whole ass ice sculptures with her pokemon just to ask you out
Piers
He wouldn’t
Marnie would confess for him, fed up with his lovesick bullshit
Unless he did get the courage, he’d straight up serenade you
Raihan
Oh, he’d be so fucking bold
Probably finished beating some random kid’s pokemon
Fucking announced to the whole stadium that he loves you
It worked
Somehow
Leon
One day, he probably held onto your hand just so his dumbass doesn’t get lost
You were definitely asked if the two of you were dating by some random people
Leon saw the opportunity
“We could be. Wanna go out with me?”

Headcanons of how would Adaman, Kabu, Piers, and Raihan react to having to share a bed with gender neutral crush?
Adaman, Kabu, Piers, and Raihan One Bed Headcanons
(Adaman and Piers my beloved. Some of these aren’t technically beds, but hey, same sleep spot counts)
Various x Reader
Genre: Fluff, Headcanons, Romantic
~~~~~~
Adaman
Thunderstorms plagued the Mirelands, creating muddy floods
You and Adaman were exploring a meadow, originally going to check on Lady Lilligant when another storm struck, flooding your path back to the Diamond Settlement
Given you weren’t planning on camping, neither of you brought tents
You could hear Captain Cyllene shouting at you now for being unprepared
You both managed to find a small cave to huddle inside of
There was just barely enough room to lay down, but at least you both were out of the rain
You both had to squish up against each other with Adaman’s cost as a blanket, but sleep found the both of you
Adaman was surprisingly chill about the situation, he’d understand anyone else in this position, feelings or not
Kabu
You got injured while training with him and had to rest for a while
Nothing too serious, just a small burn on your leg
Kabu insisted you rest though
So rest you did
He sat on the other side of the bed to keep you company and ended up falling asleep there with you
Thankfully he awoke before you so he didn’t have to deal with the embarrassing questions in the morning
Little does he know you woke up in the night to find him there, but you’ll never admit it
Piers
This man sleepwalks and none of you can convince me otherwise
You were asleep on his couch, spending the night
You were then awoken by Piers flopping down on top of you, clutching onto your shirt
A quiet sigh left you, and you simply patted his back and let him stay there
He denied everything in the morning, distracting you with breakfast and practice songs
Raihan
Of all the things Raihan does, he just had to lose that bet against Leon didn’t he?
When will he remember that Leon is unbeatable?
So here you were, forced to share a bed with each other
It started with your backs right each other, and ended with Raihan’s overly lanky body tangled with yours
You accepted your fate then and there, knowing you had no chance in moving
Cause you had no chance until Raihan woke up

Arven as a Boyfriend HCs
Tumblr media
Back again with another of my favorites :p Showed him to my brother.. who called him a malewife 🙃
Notes: Spoilers for Scar/Vi, even though there are spoilers it's not all canon compliant, Established Relationship
-----
We all know bby likes to cook
Make sandwiches, at least
Loves having you try new recipes!
He always warns you if he thinks something's going to taste bad (new combo, seasoning he hasn't tried, etc)
Has snacks he knows you like in case a trial goes awry
Honestly, making food is his love language
He could've given Mabosstif the Herba Mystica on their own, but he chose to put them into sandwiches not ONLY for the injured Pokemon, but for Raidon and PC, too
Cares deeply for you and your Pokemon
If you need help, he's there for you
Helps you fill your Pokedex if that's what you're after
Your goals are his goals, too!
Likes to take naps together
Idk why, but he seems like the kinda guy to take an afternoon nap
And the region is based off Spain/Portugal, they have siestas
Likes to just. Cuddle.
Lay on each other, have you mess with his hair while he tells you a story
Drift off into Dreamland with you..
Loves waking up after a nice nap to see you curled up with him and Mabosstif in a pile on the floor
Forehead kisses!
Nose kisses!
Cheek kisses!
Blease kiss him
All over his face
He needs it

Me and my sister were joking around about drayton and she said "fatherless" and I realized. Drayden is draytons grandpa canonically. And there's a really popular headcanon that ingo and emmet are draydens kids right? And one of draytons pokemon is a haxorus. And ingo has a haxorus. And uhhhh ingos currently you know. IN HISUI.
In conclusion. Yeah he might just be fatherless oh my god

Fun History Fact
The original form of the Paldean rhyme, "Rub-a-dub-dub" or "The Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker," was inspired when the author, who was from Galar and never saw the pokemon in Paldea, first saw Mabostiff, Daschbun, and Houndstone.

In Paldea, there’s an old cartoon that kids…. PROBABLY shouldn’t have watched known fondly as Mafia Maushold that involves anthro Tandemaus and Maushold characters trying to maintain and survive a criminal syndicate. The genderless nature of the characters, compelling plots, and even the design conventions maintains its popularity even after it finished with the fourth season.

How Pokémon would help with medical issues
Chansey as nurses is already canon.
Audino would be perfect for hearing issues. It has perfect hearing abilities and would help its owner.
Ice types used as relief when heat strokes happen.
Fire types for hypothermia.
Sylveon commonly found with cardiovascular patients since it’s compenetration would help to detect anomallies.
Stoutland as guide dogs.
Ponyta as therapy horses.
