Planted a few berries in my backyard as a first foray into gardening and look at little miss Green Thumb over here

Fun facts about: Skitty!

Skitty! One of the biggest questions I see around about these little guys is their eyes; why are they constantly closed?

Well! Actually, Skitty do not (usually) keep their eyes completely closed! Skitty are actually nocturnal by nature; this is true of Delcatty as well, but to a slightly lesser degree due to how spur-of-the-moment they tend to be, but I digress.

Skitty keep their eyes almost entirely closed because they are extremely sensitive to light and movement; if they opened them all the way during the day, they would be essentially blinded! If you were to see a Skitty in almost pitch-black lightning, you would likely see its eyes open a little! I'm not entirely sure why their eyes are so sensitive, that even in the dark, they keep them mostly closed, so if anyone knows, I'd love some extra input!

Also, to cope with the limited vision, the very fine whiskers they have, as well as the sensitive tufts on the end of their tail (plus huge ears), give Skitty plenty of extra feedback on the world around them. This is why Skitty tend to lash out if you touch their tails without permission; you're interfering with one of their primary senses! It's like if someone poked you in the eye unexpectedly.

Fun facts about: Krabby!

Krabby! Many people know they use their claws for balance while skittering around, but have you ever seen what happens when they lose one?

Krabby's claws are powerful, of course, but actually quite fragile! Especially at the base, which means strong forces in the wrong direction can snap them right off! The nature of the things means this actually doesn't hurt all that much, but it throws off the Krabby's balance extremely bad for the weeks to months it takes to regrow the claw.

Different Krabby deal with it in different ways, and they tend to learn strategies from other Krabby in the area! Some will rest their remaining claw on the top of their head in an attempt to more evenly distribute weight. Some will try and wrap the heaviest thing they can find around the stump to even themselves out again. Some particularly rash ones may even deliberately break off their other claw, but this leaves them significantly more vulnerable, as their Special Attack is quite low, so a Bubble Beam from them doesn't pack much of a punch.

Additionally, Krabby in the care of Daycares and Pokémon Centers are often given a small but decently-heavy metal ring that is clasped around the base of where the claw would be; this way, they maintain decent balance without interfering with the new claw growing in. If you have a Krabby who breaks its claw, you can actually pick these up from any Pokémon Center for pretty cheap! Trust me, it'll make your friend's life so much easier for the ensuing months!
