To every pokemon character: Oh no! A trickster god has announced that it's going to change your species. It's far too powerful to stop it from doing this. However, it's allowing you to choose which species you're going to change to, with the caveat that Transform won't work when you use it. Which species do you change to, and why?
Tumblr media
Myu: I think that braixens have such cute fur, and they're great spellcasters... My mother would have never wanted to hear it, though!
Tumblr media
Atticus: I'm a fan of being soft and not doin' much, and that seems like stuff drampas do. And I like being a dragon, despite the everything else. Topaz'd like it.
Tumblr media
Topaz: I wanna be a big scary monster!!
Tumblr media
Clara: Tch. Well, if I must choose... I am not keen on being bothered, and so being a salamence is the easiest way to achieve that, as far as strangers should be concerned. All of the nearby villages were afraid of my father, and they were right to be.
Tumblr media
Gamma: Kadabra. I chose that at random. Haha, why not, anyway? Not like I got many other ideas! At least they're good with psychic stuff and holding lots of tools.
Tumblr media
Opal: I've always thought ice-types were beautiful, darling. As weavile, I think I would rather like holding onto the dark-type.
Tumblr media
Matt: Ah... Perhaps I could be a dubwool t' fit in with the people in my old village better. Nothin' wrong with bein' a raichu, of course; in fact, I don't wish fer another life. But I respect dubwools very highly.
Tumblr media
Caroline: I don't want to change. Nidoqueen.
Tumblr media
Marie: Fighting-types are awesome, and I'm already good at punching, so I'll be even better.
Tumblr media
Sandy: Oh, umm, I said before that I'd be like my character, Sapphire! She's a celebi, and she's pink, and she has healing powers.
Tumblr media
Dr. Steele: I would certainly not mind becoming a tinkaton. The way they swing around those heavy hammers with ease is enviable.
Tumblr media
Dr. Charkoal: I will become a mawile. So that I may show Dr. Steele was it is like to be bitten.

Pokemon Card of the Day #2592: Raichu-GX (Shining Legends)
Tumblr media
Raichu-GX was all about power. It had a stand-alone attack with a notable drawback and one that needed set-up but could be extremely strong with enough set-up. Lightning was a type with plenty of competition, as a Pokemon of the type had to stand out among a wide variety of choices as well as against Rayquaza-GX, which wasn’t Lightning-type but paired with them anyway. The strength here gave Raichu-GX a good chance, though the lack of extra perks did mean it would almost entirely rely on that to break through.
210 HP was good for a Stage 1 Pokemon-GX, being similar to most of its competition. It did have to look out a bit more than most, as Thunder did damage Raichu-GX when used and 180, while by no means frail, was starting to get in the range of strong boosted attacks and 150, if it got to that, wasn’t that reliable at all. The Fighting Weakness gave an opening to Lycanroc-GX and various other Pokemon of the type, with it mattering a lot in the BKT-On format and not nearly as much after the rotation to SUM-On. The Metal Resistance didn’t change too much, as nice as it was to see a Resistance when many Pokemon lacked one. Being able to retreat for just an Energy was quite nice as well.
Powerful Spark needed a lot of set-up to reach its potential, as the base damage was just 20 for 2 Colorless Energy. Each Lightning Energy attached to any of your Pokemon added 20. This could add up, and while it was hard to get up to numbers like 8 or more Energy in play, cards like Max Elixir, Pikachu & Zekrom-GX, Tapu Koko Prism Star, and Thunder Mountain Prism Star could certainly help get there. The other issue that, with all of the set-up needed, it was hard to outdo either Rayquaza-GX or Pikachu & Zekrom-GX as an attacker, with its chances better alongside the Tag Teams simply because Powerful Spark could technically reach even greater heights and Lightning had more support there.
Thunder did 160 damage for 2 Lightning and a Colorless Energy, which was very impressive. 30 damage to Raichu-GX was a pain as it made some damage numbers a lot easier to hit, though against some Pokemon you’d still be able to take a hit so it wasn’t completely going to destroy its bulk every time. You’d still need to be careful, especially in a potential Lightning-type mirror match as both Rayquaza-GX and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX could find ways to 180. The reliable damage came in handy rather often nonetheless.
The GX attack here, Voltail GX, did just 120 for 3 Energy, but also guaranteed Paralysis and had no drawback. There were probably better GX attacks in any deck you’d use Raichu-GX in even if the Paralysis could come in handy sometimes.
Raichu-GX was a strong attacker for a type that could provide it the Energy it needed, making it rather good. Lightning was also full of Pokemon to work with, with Pikachu & Zekrom-GX being mentioned for a reason here, being powerful and being able to help other Pokemon set up. The type also had Zapdos for single-Prize attacking, Zeraora-GX for free retreating, Jolteon-GX and Xurkitree-GX to wall certain things while still getting some damage off, and Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX which gave up an extra Prize but was generally a better alternative in this role. It’s amazing that Raichu-GX, which was functionally rather good, almost never made it into a deck, but that was the reality of being a Lightning-type. Being rather good wasn’t enough there, and it would take one more Raichu card to get to that point.

Akari and Her Team: Legends Arceus
Hisuian Decidueye, nicknamed Roothoot
Gardevoir, nicknamed Joan
Raichu, nicknamed Mjölna
Walrein, nicknamed Maru
Hisuian Arcanine, nicknamed Roscoe
Alpha Garchomp, nicknamed Hammerhead
I've been a fan of Pokémon all the way back since it first came to the US In that time, I've played every mainline series game that have come out over the years. My interest in the franchise has waxed and waned over the years, but it hasn't gone away completely.  Every so often, just when I feel like I've played my last Pokémon game or that I'm ready to move on, a new game will be released that will completely reinvigorate me and get me excited about Pokémon again. It happened not too long ago with the released of Sun and Moon back in 2016, and it happened again this year with the release of Legend Arceus.
If you're like me, you might not have been terribly excited by any of the entries in the series that have come out on the Switch. Let's Go was fine and Sword and Shield were ok, but I was incredibly disappointed in Brillant Diamond and Shining Peral and honestly think they are a strong contender for the title of Worst Games in the Series. So, after being let down by BDSP, I was not really looking forward to Legends Arceus. It was actually the first Pokémon game in years that I didn't pick up on its release day. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I started to tune into the buzz around the game and heard people talking about how fun it was. So, I decided to eventually give it a try and see if it lived up to the hype.
In the end, I put over 100 hours into it, so you can say that I enjoyed it. Is it a perfect game? No, far from it. There are so many issues with it, it makes it hard to believe this was released as a AAA game in 2022, made by a company that is part of the largest media franchise in the world.
Was it fun? I thought so. Sure, it might not have been the best game ever, but it really got me engaged and interested in the series again. After being satisfied with how much of the game's content I had completed, I knew I wanted to make something to commemorate my playthrough. I decided a portrait featuring my custom trainer and her team would be the most appropriate, though I wasn't sure on how to proceed. I considered just commissioning someone else to draw it for me. I follow a lot of talented artists and I know they could have delivered a final product that would have been leagues ahead of anything I could make. But, as good as those commissions could have been, they wouldn't have been personal, and that's what I really wanted.
So, I got to work. I planned out how I wanted each Pokémon to look, and I collected a lot of references to help me. I work incredibly slow, mainly since I draw everything with my mouse instead of a stylus, and since I have to spend my days at work where I can't draw, so it took me about two months to make my way through the team. Finally, though, I am happy to say that I finished up everything and put them all together. I am incredibly pleased with how it all turned out, and I'm now able to move on from this and get started on the next few projects I have lined up.

OC Test: Pokémon pt2
Part 1
Nick:*holding Jirachi*
Valerie:You are so lucky the both of you are deceptively cute.
Nick:You should go next.
Valerie: What the hell? Sure. To be honest, I can’t begin to imagine who my new friend is about to be.
She grabs her Pokéball and before she can even throw it, it bursts opens to reveal a very happy Goodra that’s ready for a hug. Val was taken aback at first but began to laugh as she embraced the hug.
Valerie:H-Hello. Aren’t you sweet?
Eliza:(She got a pseudo…? What are my odds then?)
Summer:So I’m willing to bet I get an ice type or a music related Pokémon. Question is…which one?
Nick:I am going to guess Noivern.
Summer:Damnit, now I have expectations! I would love them. Let’s see what happens.
For a little luck, Summer hums the classic theme in an attempt to avoid an ice type. She tosses her pokéball out and is greeted with music playing back at her. The light vanishes and the sight of a shiny Meloetta flies towards her.
Summer:Yeeeeaaaah! 🎶Hello~🎶
Sparrow:So not only did the twins get mythical Pokémon, but dual type psychic mythical Pokémon. I’ve seen it all.
Eliza:I should’ve went first…
Sparrow:Mind if I go next?
Eliza:Fuck it, be my guest. Pray you don’t get a literal Sparrow.
Sparrow:I got faith.
He gives an enthusiastic thumbs up and grabs a pokéball. He rubs it on his shirt to make it shine before launching it; revealing a huge and powerful Garchomp. Eliza is slightly mortified while Sparrow had never felt more validated.
Sparrow:Let’s goooo!
Eliza:All I know is fear.
Veronica:Don’t worry. I’ll bring us back to the norm.
Eliza:Veronica, you dress like you’re a main character in a book.
Veronica:And you dress like a witch. I’m just hoping I don’t get a cat. Nick, toss me a pokéball!
He tosses it over his shoulder and Veronica catches it before immediately doing an underhand throw. Thankfully she dodged the main character allegations, but not by much. Hopping into her arms was an Alolan Raichu.
Veronica:Awww, hey buddy. Wasn’t expecting a surfing partner. *nuzzles gently* See? Nothing wrong with a chill buddy.
Eliza:Okay, that does actually help. I guess I’m fine with anything that’s cuddly or magical.
Nick:*whispers* This goes one of two ways, right?
Summer:Oh absolutely.
Eliza takes off her cap and spins it on her finger as she approaches a pokéball. After a moment of deciding, she finally picks one. The sky darkness the moment she does and the orb floats. The brightest light shines and takes the form of Arceus as choir chants and it looks down upon the mortal.
Eliza:….
Nick:So did you forget being the first human in ages to be born with magic kinda makes you god’s favorite?
Eliza:This is way too much responsibility.
Arceus floats high into the sky until he’s no longer visible. Confused by the turn of events, a smaller ball of light gently falls into Eliza’s hands and becomes an Eevee.
Summer:Hey look, it went both ways!
Nick:I don’t know what’s more concerning. The implication that Eevee is strangely close to essentially God, or if that Eevee faints then God shall intervene and fight for Eliza.
Eliza:*cradles it* I’m fine with either as long as I keep this little angel.
Carmine:So who’s next?
She turns around to the remaining people still shaking in fear from witnessing the divine.
Carmine:Fair enough. Guess we’ll take another break then….

@heropartnerweek Day 6 - Alone
A kind of prologue to a story I’m writing. It’s pretty long, and also made my beta reader cry a little at points. Have fun!
(Lore note before we start! When you aren’t particularly close to a Pokémon, you call them by their species name. It’s kind of like calling people by their last name in east asian countries or calling someone Mr., Ms., or Mx., but everybody already knows their last name.)
(also I guess this is kind of four stories but shhhh.)
His Brother Is Here For Him
Caterpie knew it was one of those days. Just by the way Charles, the town's resident hero, walked through the center. 
He knew by the way the Charmeleon's shoulders sagged, how his gaze was a couple degrees lower than normal, how his scarf was tied off-center, how his mouth wasn’t smiling or frowning, stuck in neutral, how the flame on his tail was dimmer, how it was a shade of red instead of a bright orange, bordering on white, like how it was before, how he could clearly see the blue-tipped tail his family was known for through the flame.
And worst of all, how his eyes were devoid of that clear and powerful determination Caterpie came to associate with him. 
As Charles passed by the bank, he saw Charizard, the one from Team ACT (Charles’ brother, Caterpie reminds himself), notice the depressed lizard going by, and turns to him, eyes full of concern. Caterpie doesn’t want to intrude on their conversation, but he’s too close to the salamander brothers he can't help but overhear.
“Hey, Charles, you doing alright today?” Charizard asks his brother, his deep baritone voice shining with worry. 
“I’m fine, Seymour,” Charles replies way too fast. “I’m just… going to get some work.”
“It’s okay to not be fine, Charles.” The Charizard slowly reaches out to him with one hand, the other on his chest. “You can tell me these things. I love you, you know.”
The smallest, faintest of smiles crosses the Charmeleon’s snout. “I know. I do too.”
Charizard’s grin grows. “C’mon, say it back.”
Charles’ smile grows just a bit more. “Love you too.”
Grinning even wider (Caterpie doesn’t know how he smiles so wide, it’s pretty much his entire face), Charizard takes his brother into an embrace, which the shorter one accepts and hugs back. 
Letting go of the Charmeleon, Charizard pats him on the shoulder. “Hey, why don’t we go out on a job together today? Just me and you. No Ashford, no Sadie.”
The two are silent for a second. “I’d like that,” Charles says after a second.
The two of them start walking towards the post office again, Charizard bidding farewell to his usual teammates. “It’ll be just like old times! Like when we were still kids and playing Rescue Team in the street!”
“Yeah,” Charles says, a smile actually appearing on his face.
“Whoah, don’t get too excited now! We’ve still got a job to do!” Charizard says, laughing as the two get further down the road, out of Caterpie’s hearing range. 
Caterpie knows what happened. He knows that Charles’ partner Sam, the Psy-Raichu that used to be a human, mysteriously disappeared one day, and how he couldn’t stop thinking about it some days, like today. But Caterpie sincerely hopes that he knows there are other people that care about him too.

His Daughter Is Here For Him
(TW: copious drinking, alcoholism as an escape)
Spinda was very concerned by one of his customers today.
The Grovyle had come in right at opening time, 1:30 in the afternoon, and claimed a table by himself near the corner, but close enough to the bar. He had ordered a Grass Gummy “Juice” (yes it is in quotations, Spinda knows what it is, everyone who orders it does, it’s on the secret menu) and Spinda couldn’t even get a word out before the Grovyle’s ID was out and shown to him. Of course, it was just a formality, as Spinda had known Grovyle would come in with his partner, a Riolu, often. But this was the first time he had gotten a good look at his ID, and he knew his name was Jax now. 
He had always, and Spinda means always, come in with his partner Riolu before. He had never seen the two apart, even in the mornings outside of the bar. 
It was past closing now, 2:26 in the morning, and the Grovyle (Jax, Spinda reminds himself) had now had over ten servings of “Juice” (way more than he’s ever had before, Spinda notes), and had his head down on the table, his entire body shaking, the occasional sob loud enough to be heard.
Spinda cleared and cleaned the tables starting at the farthest away from Jax, not wanting to kick out the miserable looking Pokémon, while Wobbuffet and Wynaut cleaned up their recycling service. Eventually though, Spinda had cleaned all the tables except for one, arriving at the Grovyle’s table at exactly 2:41:24.
He looked down at the sobbing Pokémon. Gently, he placed his paw on his shoulder. “Hey buddy,” he says softly, but still loud enough so he knows the Grovyle can hear him. “We’re closed. Ya gotta go home now.”
With a sniffle, the Grovyle picks up his head, and nods. His eyes are bloodshot from crying, and tears stain his cheeks. “M’kay.”
As he attempts to stand, his legs start to wobble uncontrollably. His chair, already pushed out from under him, does nothing to keep him from falling to the floor. 
Quickly dropping down to help him up, Spinda wraps his arm around his own neck, helping the man to his feet. “Y’alright, Grovyle?”
The sobbings from the reptile grow louder. “I’m sorry,” he says between sobs. “I’m… I’m useless, I can’t do anything right.”
Spinda starts to tear up himself, listening to Jax’s self-deprecating words, unable to say anything. He helps him get to the door, while Jax continues apologizing.
“I-I-I don’t know why N l-l-left,” the Grovyle says. “H-h-he just disappeared, and, and, he left his stuff, and, and I hope he’s okay, he would never leave me alone on purpose, something must've happened, he wouldn't leave, but I’m, I’m too stupid to know what happen…”
Spinda keeps his mouth shut. He didn’t know what to say, he was never good in situations like this. 
"I-I-I wish I w-w-w-was…" Jax breaks out in loud sobs, openly weeping as they emerge at the crossroads.
"Dad!" a shout calls. Running from Treasure Town's entrance is a small blue Pokémon, about as tall as Spinda himself, with feelers on their head and a watery look to them. In all his years, Spinda's never even seen a Pokémon like this. "I'm so sorry, I'm Manaphy, this is my dad, I'm really sorry you had to carry him, I can take him here, I'm really sorry," they say hurriedly, all in one breath.
"It's quite alright," Spinda says as Manaphy slips under Jax’s other arm. "I was planning to carry him to wherever he needed to be. It's no problem."
Manaphy attempts to bow, but with her father on her shoulder, she finds it difficult. "Thank you so much for taking him out here. Umm… goodbye, I guess. Thanks."
Spinda watches as the father-child duo walk away towards Treasure Town. He hopes that Jax knows that he has people that care about him. 
He also hopes that he doesn't come back until he can control his drinking problem.

Her Friend Is Here For Her
Quagsire was heartbroken over the entire thing. He loved watching Toki and Nara walking past his little booth everyday, going out for jobs. The Tepig and Oshawott were always talking, hmm? Well, it was more like Toki was talking to Nara, and Nara added something in occasionally. It was charming.
Then the split happened. Well, that’s what Quagsire was calling it. Catchy, hmm? It was when Toki had suddenly disappeared one morning, with no witnesses seeing her leave. Nor had she told anyone she was going anywhere. Nor had she brought any of her supplies with her. It was very strange, mmm, for Toki to leave Nara and the Paradise so suddenly like that. Was she carried off into the night by some kind of mysterious force, that may or may not even be a Pokémon itself?
Mmm, speculation, Quagsire thinks.
The Oshawott herself walks by Quagsire’s assembly, dragging her feet through the dirt. Nara’s eyes were dead to the outside world, and she was mumbling something to herself.
“Nara!” he calls out. “Nara dear! Could you come over here for a moment?”
After a moment, Nara turns towards Quagsire. She waddles over to him. “Mm,” she mumbles. Quagsire’s plan step one complete.
“Nara, would you, hmm, come with me for the day? I’m sure you could skip work for the day.” Nara looks at Quagsire, and he looks back at the absence of light in them. “Please?” he adds.
Almost reluctantly, Oshawott slowly nods her head. Taking the confirmation, Quagsire steps out of the doorway of his tent and gestures for Nara to go in. She does so slowly, and Quagsire follows her in, letting the door flap down. Quagsire plan step two complete.
Time to get the girl to talk, hmm?
“Take a seat, mmm, on the couch, would you?” he says, sitting on the adjacent chair. 
A moment passes in silence, as Nara sits. “What’re… you doing?”
“I am, mm, simply here for you to talk to. Vent. Feel free to talk about anything on your mind. I am a great listener, hmm?”
Quagsire’s plan step three, get Nara to do therapy, in progress.
Nara stares at him blankly.
Seconds pass, mmm, and then minutes.
“I miss her,” she finally says, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. “I really, really miss Toki. She was my best friend ever, but then she disappeared.”
Quagsire watches on, waiting for the Oshawott to continue.
“I just…” she stops for another pause, putting her thoughts into words. “I don’t know why she left. Why? Why did she leave?”
Another pause, hmm, as Quagsire waits again.
“I am… I’ll… I’ve searched the entire continent, just looking for her.” She puts her head in her paws. “And there’s nothing. No trace of her. Like she just… disappeared off the planet, like after we stopped the Bittercold.”
She pauses again. 
“I just…” the tears start to leak from her eyes. “I really miss her.”
The little Oshawott breaks into uncontrolled sobs, finally letting out all the built up emotions. She lays back into the small couch as Quagsire walks over to hug her.
Hmmm, new Quagsire plan step four: get Nara an actual therapist.

His Father Is Here For Him
(TW: self harm, cutting, mental breakdowns, self-deprecation, suicidal ideation)
Nuzleaf knows his adopted son was always quiet. It was just his personality. He very rarely spoke over twenty words in a day, never any more than three words at a time. He had preferred to speak in sign language, though he was never the best at it. But when Champ stopped communicating completely, Nuzleaf noticed.
Champ’s best friend and Expedition Team partner, a Piplup named Fin, had strangely disappeared about a month ago. After days of searching (and skipping school, but Nuzleaf doesn’t really care for that) and no progress, the Chespin had all but locked himself in his room. He only left to eat, only a couple berries at a time, and spent his time curled up in a ball on his bed, crying. 
So many of his other friends from school came by to try and talk to him. Even the members of the Expedition Society came to Nuzleaf’s front door.
Still, Champ hadn’t spoken, or signed, or even reacted to their presence. 
It was late at night when Nuzleaf heard it. He had woken up to get some water. But when he got to the kitchen itself…
He heard a quiet, but intense sobbing coming from Champ’s room.
He quickly made his way to the room, as silently as he could, and peered in. Sitting on his bed was the Chespin, a half-eaten oran berry next to him, slouched down and facing away from the door, but still tilted towards it so Nuzleaf could see his face, with a harvesting knife in his right hand and his left arm decorated with varying levels of cuts.
Nuzleaf, startled, inhales sharply, and his adoptive son hears it, snapping his head in Nuzleaf’s direction. Champ, also startled, hastily throws the knife into his bag, and hides his wounded arm behind his back, picking the oran berry up with his other. Tears leak from his eyes as he trembles, seemingly terrified that Nuzleaf found him doing this.
Nuzleaf takes a tentative step towards his son. Champ flinches, the grassy quills on his head shaking. “I’m… not mad,” Nuzleaf says tentatively. “I’m not angry… I’m not… I just want to know why. I just want to understand.”
The Chespin, still trembling, slowly raises both of his hands, dropping the oran berry. Nuzleaf can clearly see the cuts on the boy’s arm. Oh Arceus, he thinks, none of that was there this morning, has he been healing his cuts everyday with oran berries? All the scars on his arms, he assumed they came from his adventuring, are they from this?
I, Champ starts, but pauses, thinking of his next words, cut myself. He flinches, physically startled by his own silent words. I… if I can’t keep one friend, one person close to me, just… He signs so fast that Nuzleaf can’t keep up with it, then he throws his hands to his sides. He picks them back up and starts to sign again. I don’t deserve to be happy. I should be by myself. Alone. Like how I should be.
Nuzleaf can feel the tears on his cheeks. Slowly he makes his way to the broken child. “I’m sorry,” he says. “I’m sorry Champ. Ya shouldn’t be feeling like this. Nobody should. You’ve saved so many people, you have so many friends. Yer friend, I’m sure, is just missing, and she wants to come back, I know it. Both of you know each other almost if not as well as you know yerselves. You are… You are worth it. You are worth caring for, worrying for, crying for. You are not a burden. People care about you and worry for you because they want to, because you make them happy. You are not alone.”
Champ tears up, swinging his arms around his father and bawling into his chest. He makes some attempts at speaking, but Nuzleaf pats his back, letting him know it’s okay for him to not speak right now.
The two stay in their embrace until the sun threatens to come in through the window. Nuzleaf is the first to stand up.
“Let’s go get those cuts healed, Champ,” he says, taking his son’s hand. Champ shakily nods as he uses Nuzleaf to stand. “We should… probably get you a professional therapist too, huh?”
Hesitantly, Champ nods, taking the first step on a new journey.

Pokemon Card of the Day #3108: Miracle Energy (Neo Destiny)
Tumblr media
Miracle Energy was the most restricted Special Energy card printed to that point in the game. You could only have 1 in your deck. It could only be attached to a Shining or Light Pokemon. It also was discarded at the end of your turn if attached to a Pokemon. It had to be amazing to be worth anything.
The effect was quite good. It provided 2 Energy of every type, though just 2 Energy at a time. Okay, so what were you using it on? If using a Shining Pokemon, this could give access to an attack for a turn with those awkward Energy costs. Those Shining Pokemon were mostly bad, though there were some fringe uses for things like Shining Raichu. Light Pokemon were a little better, but competitively they were limited to Light Dragonite and Light Piloswine. Light Dragonite couldn't use this, so realistically this was just an addition to go with the marginally useful Light Piloswine. If using that kind of Pokemon, Miracle Energy was worth something. You'd almost never see it in a competitive match due to what it could be used on in reality.

Sakumo Pokémon team please? (I do not know any Pokémon past first gen lol)
Parter/main pokemon: Akanine
Kangaskhan which was his second Pokemon in his journey. When Kakashi was a (but older) baby it used to carry him around beside its baby in its pouch and Sakumo thought it was the cutest damn thing
Dugtrio which he actually didn’t add to his team until he became champion
Rhyhorn his tank pokemon that is ready and willing to swipe out an opponents entire team
Raichu which was always Kakashi’s favorite pokemon so Sakumo was 0% surprised when his son chise to evolve his partner eevee into a jolteon
Vultorb which he shines every day and loves to send rolling directly at an opponent and has increased its speed so much people have trouble keeping up to it

protagonist is conveniently a sheet ghost that covers their entire body and face so you can’t tell which protagonist it is
shelly is technically going as a bee but everyone was so worried she was gonna catch a cold she’s bundeled up in a thick jacket and scarf and hat and gloves so you can’t really tell what she’s wearing to begin with. its the thought that counts though

titania’s a cowboy. man i dont even have a reason. but she’s a cowboy
amaria is a pirate. i have a little bit more justification for this one with her whole water deal going on. but mostly just because the universe needs her to be a pirate

zero isn’t dressed up because he gets too uncomfortable in halloween costumes, but he put his umbreon in a spider costume and carries her around to show off his specialist shining star the whole day
taka is just wearing a skeleton tshirt. underneath his sweater. so no one can see it. ace tried to get full matching costumes for the two but he flopped over on the carpet like a cat and wouldn’t get up
ace couldn’t get taka to wear a costume but still wanted to match, so now they’re going as taka. if taka had killer eyeliner
