I love the Dragapult line for all the obvious reasons but I also love the potential discussions throughout their design process

“So there’s this cool amphibian called Diplocaulus.”

“Awesome, could be a fun Dragon type.”

“Yeah. It went extinct 252-million years ago during The Great Dying.”

“Right on, I’ll put together some rough drafts. Another fossil perhaps? Dragon/Rock?”

“I think Dragon/Ghost would lend itself to a more unique design. Their tails are wispy, like ghosts. And I want them to be evocative of a Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bomber being catapulted off an aircraft carrier.”

“Got it. I’m sorry. What was that last part?”

#0886 - Drakloak

[pokemonshelterstories]

have you seen/heard of drakloak trying to find a pokémon to foster when it doesn't have a dreepy? i'm so curious about that behavior but a lot of the information on it is uh. dubious

this is a very common behavior in dreepyless drakloak! these guys are extremely social, and they get anxious and distressed when they don't have dreepy to cart around. we see this in the wild with weaker drakloak that can't convince their dreepy to stick around; they'll try to nab just about any pokemon that they can fit on their head. i've seen pictures of them carrying around perplexed looking goomy, yungoos, swablu, pikachu...even one particularly dedicated individual attempting to pick up a larvitar (did not work)

drakloak coming into shelters frequently don't have dreepy accompanying them. it's not safe to put other shelter pokemon with them, so we usually give them plushies that have been sprayed with pheromones! i've gotta say, there are few things cuter than watching a drakloak dote on a little dreepy plush.
