hello! my name is dave (he/sharks) and i'm just a nerd combining my marine biology + pokemon interests. i'll be posting more of my own thoughts soon- but feel free to send in an ask or something!

asks treating fish pokemon as real are okay, i'll just tag them as unreality.

Eelektrik -- Midori Harada

Why does my wife love her Gyarados more than me please answer quickly im so distressed

have you considered that you can't replicate the bond between a trainer and the blood sweat and tears that goes into turning a magikarp into a being of pure power and destruction. there are very few trainers more ride-or-die than gyarados trainers

[realpokemon]

downside is that they never really stop seeing their gyarados as their cutesy wootsy ricecracker brain flip flop splash pokémon and are possibly the least spatially aware freaks on the planet when it comes to taking their gyarados into the shopping mall

#318.5 - Extremely territorial, Carvanha live in massive rivers and oceans, where they form in packs to swarm and devour their prey. Though they are rowdy and aggressive when together, Carvanha are cowardly on their own, and won’t hunt without the rest of their swarm. As they age, these Pokemon are known to split off from the rest of their group in order to create their own territory and hunting ground. Quick to attack any passing vessel, a Scaracuda’s sharp teeth often get lodged in ship hulls and fall out, but are quickly regrown. They become faster and more hydrodynamic after their top fins have completely fused together.

Named: Carvanha - Scaracuda - Sharpedo

#319 Mega - Sharpedo pursue prey at speeds of 75 mph and finish them off with fangs that can crush iron, earning them the nickname “the bully of the sea”. When Sharpedo are given Sharpedonite and Mega Evolve, the power of their sharp fangs are amplified, gaining the ability “Strong Jaw.” As they Mega Evolve, Sharpedo sprout fang-like spines along their head, which pop out when they charge into opponents. The yellow patterns they bear are old scars, visible from the energy of Mega Evolution.

A few weeks ago I went out and got the CUTEESSST little Skrelp. They're so overhated for no reason other than being 'ugly' even though they're so adorable and small :((

Anyway, the only problem is, my Skrelp is EXTREMELY shy. I gave him a big tank with lots of dark places to hide, but he just flits around in the shadows and I hardly ever get to see him. He's eating okay, I think, but it's hard to check since he only really eats anything when i'm not looking.

I know Skrelp are reclusive Pokemon, i've read up on them lots, but something tells me he should have warmed up to be at least SOMEWHAT by now. I've been nothing but kind to him but he still won't show himself.

Any advice?

Hmm- sometimes they're just skittish, but I do have a few pieces of advice. It's good that you have a lot of hides for him, but consider planting some seaweed (real or fake) in a more open spot- the goal here is to have him start hanging out around or in the seaweed, instead of in the dark all the time. It's good to give him privacy, but giving him a safe space in an open area where he can sit and observe might help him open up a bit.

I also suggest sitting in the room with his tank and doing something relaxing- reading, writing, yoga, playing a game. Just be around him, talk to him sometimes, read out loud to him, be in his presence without being too disruptive. Pokémon are smart creatures, and the more you interact with them, the more they understand you. Even if that interaction is indirect, they're still listening, and it's important to let them know that they're safe and that you care.

Final piece of advice, which may be unrealistic depending on where you live and how big your tank is- get him a friend! Another more outgoing skrelp might encourage him to be more active, or at least move around more. while they tend to be pretty solitary, they're known to sometimes pair up in the wild, traveling around and hanging out. It may take them a while to get used to each other (you'll probably see cloudy poison in the tank every so often, just turn the filtration system up higher until it's gone), but they're kind of like cat pokémon- they'll get used to each other, be friends, but probably still attack each other sometimes, because that's what they do.

I hope my suggestions help, let me know how it goes with him!

I'm out here causing drama in the pokémon world academia by saying that Grass Types are different from my new proposal, Fungus Types.

[tippydoorman]

"Foongus is pure Fungus Type, not Grass/Poison. Paras is Bug/Fungus, which is the equivalent of Bug/Grass/Poison. Fuck you. [mic drop]"

[tippydoorman]

In response to the problems caused by my proposal, I would like to introduce "subtypes." A pokémon could be Grass type with a subtype of either Plant or Fungus. A Water type may have a Saltwater subtype depending on the environment it lives in. die mad about it professor tree

[tippydoorman]

Also, Minior isnt a flying type. Actwally, it's another of my new type proposals: Levitating Type, shared by Magnemite and Mew. Mew does exist btw, some random 12 year old caught it. I have the pokédex entry. This is Documented!

[tippydoorman]

In response to the accusation that I'm only doing this because I was laughed out of the university where I proposed three-type pokémon: yeah, I am. what are you going to do about it, bitch?
