Update about Lotad and Ponyta.
Its been about three months since I adopted a Ponyta colt and male Lotad. So this is how they are doing and I've been meaning to talk about them.
I got the two Pokémon from @adventures-on-foster-island . These two Pokémon needed somewhere to call home and I adopted the two together. Lotad is a flowering variant which is rare but often mistaken as sickness in grass type Pokémon. As someone who owns their own little pod of Lotad I hoped to integrate the lil guy into it.
Lotad after being carefully watched has responded well to changing homes and being introduced to my Lotad pod. After a few weeks I got a few bits of paper and let him choose his name. I have a Gardevoir called Ophelia who is my translator. His name is now Kaj. He gets along well with the pod. Some members aren't bothered with him but aren't separating him from the others or anything. He gets along the most with flowers. Flowers is a Lotad of mine who loves flowers. So its common to find him and Kaj together which is great as Kaj has a friend but also Flowers has a tendency to go out of the water for too long sitting with plants. He has been feeding well and he has even had a dip at the river. Now you can find him lazing about in the pond or taking a nice swim down the river.
Clurichaurn's update.
Clurichaurn is the name Raven came up with. He's a young male Ponyta who had a bad start in life, and has integrated into the herd fairly well. The herd's adults are all boys and the youngest Ponyta bar Clurichaurn, Diana who is the only girl of the herd. Cluri is often seen at the outskirts of the woods with Diana and Tor who is a Mudbray. I'm really impressed with him and how he's gotten use to the herd. He has had no health issues or anything, though displaying some hesitancy towards some of the further north woods at first, but he seems to no longer be anxious of the area. He does go to new places with his herd and he looks like he feels safe with them. Galarian Ponyta don't like very open spaces unless they are going for a quick sprint. If you ever wish to spot Cluri then look for the smallest Ponyta who's near the front.
