Zebstrika appreciation post!

Stripes? Lots of stripes! You liked the mohawk that Blitzle had? Well, Zebstrika has TWO!! And also a cool tail! (Maybe I'm biased and just like Pokemon with star-shaped tails)

Lighting-Type! Wow, look at that pony shine! It makes arenas light up whenever it strikes! They have so much personality, personality that can be channeled into intense battling energy! >:)

I dunno I just really like these guys. :)

Isn't its hard to train breloom to not let spore out? How helena train her breloom and not affected by breloom spore? (or she got breloom spore everyday when breloom was recently caught) I thought breloom gonna fill her house with spore

I've had Jinx since I was a kid, our bond was strong even before we started training as aces. she was a shroomish an' I definitely got hit by spores more times than I can count, it probably wasn't the best for by brain cells tbh

after she evolved the training centered on mindfulness, since her spore release was instinctual, to stop it she needed to be conscious of what caused the release. fightin' types tend to like meditation so we started with that. th' process took years, an' a lot of exposure to stressors. it's not something every breloom is capable of learning (because of the effort and self-control required, it relies heavily on trainer bonds), it's like learning how to flex a muscle you never knew existed, an' the whole process is exhausting and time-consuming. I doubt I'll ever train another breloom to do it, it was only successful because I got to spend all my time working with her.

I'm really proud of Jinx, there's still incidents sometimes but each year they're fewer an' fewer. she was th' product of a perfect moment in time in which I had time for focus and could funnel resources into her an' my other team members. definitely worth it :)

Pelipper mail - a packet of nerds and mini M&M's. There is a messily written note

"Rocks !!! -Sprite :>"

[Image Attached: Helena is lunging towards Maeve, who holds the package at arms length away from her. Both are laughing. In the background their various Pokemon are scrambling to catch spilled candies.]

maeve doesn't wanna share the rocks >:(

Thank you, Sprite :)

!! for the assigning you ability- you'd have natural cure, and helana would have vital spirit

Aw, Natural Cure, healing status conditions? I like that. Makes me feel like a Nurse Joy, ehehehe. :)

- rn I’m pretty tired for someone with Vital Spirit *lots of flexing emojis*

- Thank ya kindly though, I live to keep life interesting >:)

how is the breleoom.

Jinx is doing really well! she’s been getting along well with Maeve’s mons, I think it’s th’ open orchard space, she loves to run

I admit I haven’t been training her a bunch but as long as all her wiggles get out that shouldn’t be a problem either

I really want to catch and befriend breloom but I know it too dangerous to go near them without preparation so can you give me some tips? I heard that you know about breloom can you help me please?

1.What part of breloom body that can spray spore at me? and What part of thier should I stay away or prevent to touch and got spray by its spore? Is its spore seed on its tail and red thing on its cap?

2.I only heard that breloom spore is dangerous but what this spore really do to me if I accidentally got spray by its spore? Is its make me sleep, poison or feel numb? And how to cure its spore if its got me?

3.if I fail to befriend with them and make them angry. Is its have sign that they going to spray spore on me like its tail and head cap moving strange or thier body language?

4.is breloom spore have different color, smell and taste if its have what is its can you Describe its in detail?

5.if I succeeded catching them what can I do to prevent them to spray spore in the house and around me or make breloom spray spore less than before and how to get rid of breloom spore in house if they accidentally spray its?

6.if I befriend with breloom and want to pet them can I touch red thing on its head cap or its spore seed on its tail or not? and what part of thier body should I touch them and they like its?

(Sorry for long massage and many questions)

no worries anon! I'm happy to answer all your questions, this is a question safe space :)

1: breloom spray spores from the red pores on their head cap and th' seeds on th' end of their tail. the spores harm you when inhaled, an' cause skin irritation if allergic (allergies are usually similar to skitty allergies) or in high densities. spores usually have a condensed spray from th' head cap pores, while th' tail is a passive, cloudy release without direction, an' both are activated when th' breloom is spooked by a predator or trainer.

2: breloom spore effects change with th' pokemon's diet an' region. since there aren't any clear variants officially mapped by the 'dex so far, it's easiest to tell spore type by th' color of the frills beneath their head cap (purple for poison, yellow for paralysis, pink for sleep, etc). unless you're allergic, th' spores shouldn't be a big problem if you bring a respirator an' goggles, but be aware of th' wind direction if you find a breloom an' haven't put your gear on. assume the pokemon knows the environment better than you. it will probably try to get upwind so spores drift towards you. if you get skin irritation realize that you're allergic to th' pokemon you're trying to train, an' reconsider whether or not you're ready for that kind of inhibition to bonding with your breloom

3: if you make a breloom angry, th' spores are th' least of your worries. if you have th' right gear th' spores won't effect you, but breloom still pack one of the meanest punches of all pokemon. they strike too fast for any human to keep up, an' an angry breloom won't be holding back. if you doubt your current partners' ability to defend you, I'd invest in some body armor, th' type you'd wear for a fight with a hitmonchan

4: I haven't encountered breloom spores without a respirator for a while now, an' don't know a ton about this question exactly, but I remember Jinx's spores tasted a little like...cinnamon? dunno. I just know that spores are difficult to see when released, it's best to identify th' type by th' underside of th' head cap like I explained earlier

5: house training brelooms also takes some time. they aren't used to people things an' can get spooked, leading to spore release. spores aren't good for your lungs so it's best to house train a breloom by keeping it mostly outdoors an' gaining it's trust fully, then introducing it slowly to your home. in th' meantime, you can keep it in it's pokeball or if you have an outdoor pen it can be left there to not be cooped up. there are some trainers-for-hire that specialize in house training, they're pretty popular with th' common house-type pokemon but usually their methods adapt well if th' right precautions are taken. spores are easy to wipe off non-porous surfaces, but check th' directions for any furniture fabrics. a quick wipe down won't save your lungs from leftover spores left on walls or couches from any pokemon

6: I wouldn't suggest touching anywhere that produces spores. even with Jinx's training she still releases them when those areas are disturbed. just knocking th' tail against a wall can dislodge spores, so try not to disturb those areas too much. Jinx likes her head scratches, on top of her cap not below by th' frills, they are very delicate organs. she also likes neck scritches an' belly rubs. ofc it all depends on th' individual pokemon, no breloom is made th' same, so get to know your partner when it comes to affection. who knows, maybe it won't enjoy being touched at all!

if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask. Maeve and I have lots of experience with all sorts of pokemon, we're happy to help give good information :)
