@pokewatching
hello hellooo. i'm em (any pronouns)-- and i’m a pokemon watcher currently working at a daycare in the galar region.
pls feel free to hit me up w asks and the like-- my partner is a reuniclus called nudge. i’ve also recently obtained a sprigatito hybrid! i may post some sketches or other research notes here.
Hi Em! I hope you're doing well. :)
I hope you don't mind me asking this, but what kind of Pokemon is Nudge? I know they're a Reuniclus but what's their personality like? Is it hard to take care of them? Did you guys just click instantly or did it take time to form a friendship? How do you guys typically interact in day-to-day life?
hey! apologies for the wait, i've been quite busy this week <3 i hope u have been doing well too!
nudge is very sweet-- it's actually why i named her that, because it was what she did to get my attention when she was just a little solosis. i'm a unova native, and while she wasn't my first pkmn, she's been with me for about five years now-- i captured her from the wild.
solosis tend to be naturally curious and playful, albeit a touch shy, and she's unfortunately a bit of a detective, so she can get nosy at times. as she's matured, she's begun to grasp abstract concepts, which is super cool, but also means she can get up to no good if she's bored. there isn't a ton of study on reuniclus behavior because there aren't many in the wild, but i would say like a lot of psychic types, they require a lot of engagement and enrichment to keep them happy.
since i'm a student and casual on the battling scene when i'm not at my daycare job, i both run nudge on my defensive team and let her hang around out-of-ball if i'm doing something like studying for ambient interaction. she also really likes music-- and i'm pretty sure it's just because the vibrations through the gel in her body is a pleasant feeling. she likes to lay on top of the radio, which is both cute and funny. i actually suspect that the reuniclus line has electro-sensitive capabilities, similar to shark and ray pokemon (more abt this later) that help them perceive their surroundings in more detail.
also, for those wondering, reuniclus line bodies feel like a cool silicate with gel inside, so they are very squishable. go give one a hug u wont regret it. u cant hurt them by squishing them heheh 10/10
posting this on its own actually because some of you need to drill this into ur brain /nbh
no pokemon is inherently evil or malicious or dangerous or whatever based on species alone. obviously a wild gyarados you swim up to is probably gonna Aqua Tail you across the Atlantic, thats because its a wild pokemon whose territory and wellbeing is being put at risk.
obviously that wild scyther will Slash at you if you get too close, thats because its a wild pokemon whose territory and wellbeing is being put at risk.
HOWEVER. with proper training and care, any pokemon can be a well-behaved (though maybe irritable) companion.
labelling entire species as dangerous is not only rude, but dangerous in its own right, as it encourages people to commit violence against these species.
Banging my fists on the table. Hydreigon. And so many other Dragons. But I have a soft spot for Hydreigon.
Ugh. The comments sections on the Sanctuary's other social media are full of people saying "Hyper Beam it to death!" every time we post a picture of a fully-evolved Dragon. It just makes me mad.
i used to have a Chatter where id post videos of my pokemon, and one guy went through all my videos where i showed any dark or ghost type and left dozens of violent and hateful comments:( its so infuriating how close minded people are
In non squid related news, i have gone on my annual post-Luvdisc day walk and picked up a few pokemon of my own, whom i plan on dropping at shelters in the morning hopefully!
Four Bellossom, very small, definitely premature evolution but these ones seem healthy at least, a Floette, a Lilligant (how do you get a whole lilligant for a holiday??) and two Bounsweet.
So i guess if anyone wants to claim one they can? I don't know barring any sort of catastrophic event in the meantime i should be able to drop them at the slateport shelter as soon as they are able to ship some of their pokemon to other shelters in the morning.
I really hate that this is something that happens every year :(
OK!!! These guys have been taken to their respective places! It was a lot of fun having them over for the night and i wish them a lot of happiness at their new homes!
The four bellossom are going with the Slateport shelter, i guess they've already gotten a couple of applications since i left haha i guess those dances ARE popular.
one of the bounsweet went to @kraetac
the other bounsweet and the floette were taken in by @aegislash-logs
Ant Lilligant will be staying with me for a little bit, until i can make sure she is ok :)
ive always wanted to care for a lilligant! if she still needs somewhere to stay i’d be happy to help!
It's been two days since Luvdisc Day and we're already seeing an uptick in Pokémon being left at the daycare.
Taking bets on how many "oh, I'm just busy, I'll pick her up next week!" is gonna turn into several weeks until they ultimately start ghosting our calls or say "oh, I don't think I'll actually be able to take her back, sorry!"
i was gonna make a post about this but i’m glad you did it before it slipped my mind. holy shit, please don’t gift pokemon for luvdisc day— it just ends in pokemon that eventually need to be rehomed or released.

@belamew oh my god, so many inkays and a bunch of pichu. i’m gonna leave the pichu to you if that’s alright— i can do the research into releasing inkay once they’re large enough, since i think that’ll be best for them and give them the best chance to avoid predation.
Sure thing! I know some people are interested in adopting the inkays, so we might have a few people reach out about that 🙏
awesome! if anybody following would like to adopt an inkay, lmk! id be happy to arrange it

OK i have set up some emergency "tanks" for the inkay eggs... Luckily since these eggs incubate in tide pools i don't have to worry about currents and such like some other eggs that need water to hatch.
It's too late to really do much tonight, but i should hopefully be able to contact the hoenn ecological society and let them know about this. I doubt this is the only package of eggs that got shipped out.
Is anyone in search of inkay?? They wont be able to battle for awhile, they hatch very small, and take a while to reach league regulation size.
whoa, there’s so many. we have room in our pond area at the daycare if they need looking after when they hatch, but it’s certainly not a permanent solution. let me know if i can do anything to help!
Blastoise
Shape........ i like they ears... and theyr chompers.... but i dont know how to feel about their canons. idk, not my favorite but also not the worst. still wana hold their hand
shiny is kind of pretty, but i really do wonder if their green shells help them blend in within different environments. i can see it being really helpful in an algae filled pond, but their purple-pink really stands out. i dont often question all the survivability on shiny coloration, but this one really gets me thinkin
7/10, cute and strong, very round, kind of intimidating
blastoise are interesting. they dont run around killing stuff like most pokemon you think of when you hear "apex predator."
their main hunting method is to sit in their shell, limbs and head fully retracted, until something comes into range to be shot at with the cannons. then, as it's incapacitated, the blastoise swims in for the kill. its main prey are Pidgey and Spearow, it shoots them out of the sky when they fly above its pond.
as you said, the green shell acts as camouflage in planted bodies of water, while pink coloration likely functions as a bright warning to ward off scavengers looking to get in on the meal (//same idea as those neon poisonous frogs).
my new friend! shes a sprigatito/cottonee hybrid <3
in grass types this sort of hybrid occurs the same way as a hybrid would occur in plants: one pokemon will flower and be pollinated by the other, w/ the offspring retaining the species of the flowering pokemon.
that is so fucking adorable OMA ((oh my Arceus))
So cute! Oh just... beyond cute!
im super curious abt that tbh! based on how she looks now im predicting a meowscarada fluffy as can be, but who knows! she might gain whimsicott-esque traits aside from the floof :0
FluffyfluffyfluffyfluffyfluffyfluffyHAVEIMENTIONEDSHEISFLUFFY!?
Ahem... so does the sweet girl have a nickname?
her names ivy! :D
