A commonly circulated factoid is that Meditite will only eat a single Berry each day. While this behavior has been noted in the wild, please note that the fruits in question are Sitrus Berries, with an incredibly high nutrient density, and the days are the ones spent entirely in meditation. Any battling or physically active Meditite should be fed like other Fighting-types of similar size.
20 for the ask game?
20. Do you think Water and Ice are distinctly different Pokémon types, or largely the same and incorrectly categorized?
By all available evidence, they are different! They display different affinities, and their types interact differently with others -- in ways that cannot simply be waved away by Ice-Types having an affinity for 'cold' (as is the main argument when people point out Ice- and Water-Types have very different relationships to Fire-Types.)
People like to make these conspiracies, and it's (usually) all in good fun, but the truth is that Pokémon types take a lot of research before they're officially recognized. Just look at how long Fairy-Types took to be distinctly categorized.
One of the biggest pieces of evidence is how Water-Type Z Crystals do not work for Ice-Type moves, and vice versa.
Although, if you are interested in this topic, you may be interested in research done on Pokémon history and lineage. I have seen some compelling essays reasoning that they might have once been the same type and diverged over time.
Yes! I couldn't have said it better, from what research I've done myself!
One thing I've made note of is that ice-types have a tendency to have ice as part of their biology. It's not true for all of them, of course, but still a fact that's probably my favorite about the ice type!
An excellent point! And it's rare to see Water-Types with their namesake as part of their biology (at least, not much more water than what would be seen as part of various other types of Pokémon, or humans)... but they share this trait with types like Fire, Grass, and Rock, and there's seldom argument that any of those are Ice-Types.
i NEED EVERYONE TO SEE THIS BABY
She came in today for her 1 month old checkup and growth measurements! She's one of the domestic ekans I've been studying lately, expect to see more of them (and their baby wild counterparts!)
Do stay safe out there in Hoenn! Warm-blooded Fire-Types can be a big help in situations like these, if you have access to any. Keep your homes insulated and stay indoors as much as possible!
(@sinnoh-student) For the Pokéblr ask game, how about question 26?
26. Pokéblocks, Poké Puffs, Poffins, Poké Beans, Curry, or Sandwiches?
I can see that this question is listing famous foods from different regions, but it's a bit difficult to give a ranking when some of these are meals and others are treats!
Out of the treats here, I personally know how to make Pokéblocks. I'll admit that my Pokémon developed a taste for Poké Puffs during the time in Kalos, so now they're a special treat to occasionally order in... Someday maybe I'll learn to bake them well.
Meal-wise, I am more drawn to a rice base than bread, so curry is a frequent meal for myself and my partners! As is the ever-reliable ochazuke, when we're running low on ingredients.
Dear Clove,
Oh my goodness. Perhaps you've done this already, but have you checked your living space for exposed wires, or made sure you're not overloading any circuits with too many devices plugged in? (And checked the same with neighbors, if you are in an apartment or dormitory?)
Even if you shoo them out now with the repels, if there's some root cause of their appearance, they might find their way back... and it sounds like quite an unpleasant chemical smell to deal with, let alone repeatedly.
All the best,
Professor Honeybush (@honeybushlab)
Oh hey professor!! We had some people from my college come out and check for anything that could be drawing them earlier (a few hours before I got the joltik repel!), and they couldn't find anything in my house BUT they did say that someone a few doors down also has some joltik in their room, so either someone on the block is the cause or the transformer for our housing area is. I'm betting on the transformer, because I live closest to it 😔
For now all I can do is shoo them away until they fix it (or until they tell me to move out because it's a deeper problem--which I really hope doesn't happen lol!)
Good news! We've now got a staff page, which lists some of the assistants here at the lab. It's purely opt-in, so only those who have chosen to share information are listed.
Who's your favorite champion :-) (-@champion-thalia)
Oh, I barely keep track of these things. I heard recently that a fairly young boy won a world tournament, which sounds very impressive!
I'm not sure if you mean acting champions or "people who have beaten a league," but I have always known @harvey-from-galarvey to be excellent with his Pokémon, which would have to be my top priority. Though I suppose I'd be surprised to learn if any champion trainers were uncaring towards their teams.
we’ve all heard of the great crater of paldea and the wormholes in alola but have u ever driven over a pothole in unova
That's why the region has such a robust public transit system! I wouldn't recommend anyone use cars here unless by absolute necessity; the traffic alone is just awful, let alone the road quality as you've mentioned.
this is a cara liss hate zone. i am going to fight her not with my pokemon but with my bare hands and she will not know what hit her. for legal reasons this is a joke (-@wyrmwiind)
Ugh. Thank you kindly. Fossil Pokémon resurrection is regulated in most regions with a league, but as I understand it, Ms. Liss got her work started while Galar's authorities were still debating the specifics of the restrictions.
In any case, I hope the Galar branch of the IPCUC considers updating their certification standards.
Umm hiiiii, I'm suuuuuper new to this internet thing but I found your blog and you seem WAY nice!! I hope this isn't like a dumb question but do you have any tips for caring for your first Pokemon? (She's a Comfey if that helps.) Thanks so much!! Here's a little heart for your trouble! ♡
Hello. Thank you for the question and for the heart! It is always lovely to see trainers taking an interest in caring well for their Pokémon.
While I haven't had the pleasure of working with one personally before, I know that Comfey are often very sweet and compassionate, and thus commonly bred to assist in Pokémon Centers in Alola. So it sounds like a great first Pokémon! But I would make sure to pay attention to your Comfey's mood, and make sure to let it know that you are there to take care of it, too. Caretaking types of Pokémon can sometimes be shy about sharing when something's wrong, especially if anyone else nearby needs help!
Much like Flabébé, Comfey are often mistaken for Grass-Types despite being purely Fairy. In this case, it means that if you see Comfey's flowers wilting or falling off, taking care of the flowers themselves is not going to help the issue like it would for, say, my Ivysaur. Comfey's flowers are kept lively by its own energy and the fluid its vine produces, so unhealthy flowers are usually a result of some underlying issue.
(And speaking of flowers, be sure it has access to wild flowers if it ever needs more! Ideally ones not on anyone's property, unless you've got permission. If you aren't traveling, you could even grow your own.)
This is all quite general, though -- feel free to ask if you've got more specific questions!
Beyond that, my advice for any Pokémon would be to check your Pokémon in with a Center at least once, even if you aren't doing any strenuous activities or battling with it. They'll be able to help you learn specifics that a Pokédex or a far-off Professor can't, such as individual health issues and dietary restrictions.

(@wingsofachampion) Hiya! What's it like being a professor? -Tropius
Hello, Tropius! Thank you for the question.
I can't speak for everyone, but I find it very fulfilling work! Like many children, in my younger days, I started a journey and took on a gym challenge, and... like a good portion of them, I found out that dedicating my life to battling just wasn't for me! (Though I do enjoy a good battle from time to time ;) )
My day-to-day work involves a lot of progressing experiments and recording data, which I have lab assistants to help me with. Some of these involve having people travel daily or stay in different areas of the region, such as to (non-invasively) monitor readings at Celestial Tower over certain periods of time.
It also involves caring for a lot of Pokémon, both those of trainers and a few wild ones we're sheltering. Learning and accommodating the individual needs of each Pokémon is hard work, but I enjoy it very much! I love to see every one of them as happy and healthy as they can be.
rb this if youre a trainer or you post about your pokémon or etc
I mean, the reason that there are conventional arrays of Starter Pokémon in every region is entirely because those species are known to be docile and easy to raise when young... and often have a capacity for greater power once they’ve grown.
These are by no means the only Pokémon that can be given out as starters - and in fact, plenty of kids end up catching their own Pokémon in their hometowns before even coming of age to begin a journey - but they are the easiest way to follow the guidelines for Pokémon safe to give to beginners.
I’ve given plenty of Pokémon species outside of the conventional trios to prospective journeyers. We get Pokémon here frequently who want adventure and are a great fit. And on the flip side, many Pokémon of conventional “starter species” end up not a great fit - either they need a more experienced trainer, or a journey isn’t for them at all.
The moral for today is, apparently, listen to your Pokémon before you put them in new or different situations.
"Should I give a Pokémon as a gift?”
Without further context, the answer to this question is “No.” The only time you should be giving a Pokémon as a gift is when the action isn’t really giving a gift at all - in situations where you have reasonable guarantee that the Pokémon will be cared for well, and that whoever is about to be responsible for it wants that responsibility.
One reason that trading Pokémon is such a strong tradition is that both parties know the other has raised and cared for a Pokémon before taking on the new one. It also establishes a bond of trust between trainers, and ideally between Pokémon (personally, I am a strong proponent of asking the Pokémon who are meant to be traded for permission; being given to a new owner with no warning can incite great stress, and in many cases has led to dangerously disobedient Pokémon.)
When competitions give out a Pokémon or egg as a reward, the recipient always must be vetted. These types of events are usually targeted towards trainers, so generally the criteria is having trained Pokémon for a given amount of time prior, and being in good standing with the league. This is especially important with Pokémon considered more rare or difficult to handle.
