OHHHHHH

Built like a Baked Bean

Big baby :)

IT JUST POPPED OUT, HOVERED FOR A SECOND, LOOKED AT ME, AND THEN FLOPPED ONTO THE TABLE LMAO

Pokerating Day 26, Indeedee?

Note: above picture is a female. Males look notably different.

Charm: Very polite, they seemingly live to serve others? They feed on positive emotion so they do what they can to create positive emotion. There's the moral question of wether good deeds done out of self interest are truly good deeds, but honestly I say since it's mutually positive it doesn't matter. 7/10 but thats biased by never seeing this pokemon before and never seeing one in person.

Care: I think this thing would care for itself. If anything it'll probably care for you more than you need to care for it. 10/10?

Safety: According to pokedex data the worst these'll do is chuck some things at you to get you to leave if your vibes are stank nasty. 9/10?

Utility: Blah blah Galar HM nono. I don't think it'd learn any anyways, except maybe strength? It learns nothing that helps with pokemon catching other than heal pulse either. All of these issues are trivial though since its a dedicated butler thats smart enough to likely be taught how to use various tools and probably even electronics. I bet you could, if dedicated enough, teach one to do your taxes. 10/10. Sure it probably can't learn cut or dig but you could just give it shears or a shovel and it could probably do the same thing.

Battle: I... huh. Apparently these are a menace in double battles. Their hidden ability, psychic surge, is essentially a signature ability since the only other mon known to have it is the legendary Tapu Lele. Psychic terrain nullifies competitive staple moves like sucker punch and fake-out from grounded opponents and almost doubles the power of the already strong expanding force, which also hits both opponents. These factors, combined with also getting trick room, make it one of the strongest double battle support pokemon out there. Note that only the male form can learn expanding force itself along with psychic noise (and other moves), while the female form is slower but can learn follow me, reflect, light screen, and other utility moves. The female variant is usually considered better due to the move follow me. These are two pokemon used exclusively in the highest ranking doubles tournaments and that gets them a 7/10, not higher since they're more enabler than actual win condition and limited use to only the one format.

Final Score:

Charm: 7/10 (subjective)

Care: 10/10 (honestly maybe even 11/10)

Safety: 9/10

Utility: 10/10

Battle: 7/10

Score: 43/50(!!!)

Pet Score: 26/30

Trainer Score: 17/20

Notes: I... what an unexpected winner of the ranking system. Honestly I wouldn't be against it getting 10/10 in charm and safety but I would need to interact with them more to say with certainty. I didn't know this thing existed until now actually.

wtf how did you mistake that

I keep seeing a pokeball outside on the floor and thinking it's Captain. How did it get there?

Hoya! Pippi and I had a hard few days x) but we’re on break for a bit finally! Phew!

I’ve never heard of that one tbh! Whats it like? I do love idlers but mostly while crafting! If you’d ever wanna game together that would be so fun!

Oooo… I am thinking thoughts. Maybe you could send me some? x) Is that weird? Hahahaa!

( @poketherapist-in-training )

Morning! What are you up to today? I just had a crazy experience myself x)

Nothing really!! Getting back into form for the week, mostly, haha.

Oh ?? You wanna elaborate, or??

Cool xD

Ooo I’m glad you rest and relax- what do you do that relaxes you? :)

… Animorphs are real.

Ehem.

Kind of sounds like ‘bad hair days’ but with morphing days? xD

I know I look rough when I’m caught on an off day-especially considering the dual life I live. (Graveyard shifts and daytime school!)

What would you recommend to help him?

He’d be willing to do an in person appointment, I’m not sure how you feel bout those. I know you mentioned stigma and disliking it as such, so I’d suspect not.

It may be fiddly to try to do an electronic one but we can try!

Hello. Official appointment request! ^^

Chief the Chansey, with his little Oddish passenger (they are inseparable… we’ve tried) are the clients!

Background: Chief was a medic in the pokewars of yore and belonged to my grandpa. He’s in my care now as my grandpa isn’t able to care for him. He’s not distrustful of humans really, more so he sees them all as in his care and can’t seem to submit himself to their care. He’s been pretty isolated and is mourning my grandmother and the loss of company of my grandpa/ loss of caretaking for him since he is in my families care now.

Hope that’s enough background! Any additional info and scheduling can be tagged:

[ THIS IS A CLOSED APPOINTMENT BETWEEN B AND THE USER. ]

Thank you for the starting information! That's very helpful! ^^

Breaking out of selfless habits in order to care for yourself or let others care for you can be tough, I've actually had that issue myself before when I get too into the zone. ^^"

Is there any specific habits that really stand out?

Pippi and I are up early and at school on time! Those new meds are working for me, and I think I’m encouraging her too. To BA class and then I get to work on my painting !

How’s yalls days?

Greetings!

I am Elias / Ellie ! I go by she/her and he/him prons, no they/them please!

My sibling is @newcomer-karp! They wanted me to join them cause they were tired of having to physically show me the cute pokemon posts on here and wanted to be able to send them to me directly...

But it also seems cool! And I'd love to participate and get to know more about the wider world.

I am a therapist in training! I attend Uni for my psych degree! My partner pokemon is Pippy the Chancy (the name made more sense when she was a happiny...but oh well). You are required to have a Chancy to apply for the psych degree, but I happened to already have her ;) She's my icon! In both the literal and blog way.

Pelipper mail: On!

NOTHING ON THIS BLOG IS MEDICAL ADVICE! FOR LEGAL PURPOSES! AND LIKE ACTUALLY IM STILL IN SCHOOL!

But hey, if it helps, it helps!

(ooc below)

Hello! Forgot to do this before!

I’m Lorelai! I use he/she as well! No they :)

I actually fully am a psych student in training to be a therapist! This character is very much a self insert, but has a lot of unique bits as well.

I’m super open to everything including shipping and text roleplay! Feel free to interact however!

Cheers!

sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words
