huuuge thank you to Sol and the Ultra Space discord for entertaining my apple ramblings

I’ve been looking at @crowned-grimmsnarl blog for a while now, and I absolutely fell in love with the idea of these modified pokemon subtypes. Eventually, I was struck with a wonderful Idea, and got the approval from them to make it! So meet Soft-Serve Alcremie!!

She was a joy to make, and I really hope you all like her! I might make an askblog for her if I ever have free time.

You can see the Chocolate and Strawberry forms too below!

So I came up with a headcanon that regular Scraftys are only slightly exothermic... They can get going on their own, but the extra warmth from the sun really helps to perk them up. However, Shinobi Scraffs were modified to be fully blown warm blooded lizards, to prevent them from slowing down in colder climates. Anyways, that gave me the mental image of Charlie flopped on top of Meme for his warmth like he’s just a big heating rock <33

Wesley Jr. stutters a bit- it’s pretty obvious he’s not much of a speaker, but if his company orders him to answer questions, he must do as he’s told.

“But, as far as being unethical- not really. Carnivorous Pokemon eat other Pokemon in the wild every day, that’s a natural part of the world.

The kibble KashiraCorp produces is ultra-processed to remove any possible contaminants- I can assure you it’s completely safe. In addition, a large portion of the protein in it is from a hodgepodge of subtype Pokemon carcasses, not just any one species, so the risk of accidental cannibalism is marginal at best.

It’s a better use for the bodies than simply letting them rot in the ground- with the global food shortage caused by Hoenn’s decimation, it would be wrong to let the potential food source go to waste, especially when there’s so many Trainers struggling to feed their Pokemon.

I mean, we wouldn’t even be HAVING this issue if the League would just let us take a crack at reviving some of the-”

There’s an unintelligible mumbling off-screen. Wesley Jr. is reprimanded, though you aren’t sure why.

After a moment, he speaks again.

“...Right. So.

The kibble’s completely safe. Nothing to worry about.

Tried it myself once. Not the tastiest thing in the world, but, hey, it’s...food.”

Another of KashiraCorp’s Hatterene subtypes, this one built for contests and beauty-related activities!

Their hair grows in multiple, thick layers, giving the appearance of an almost princess-like gown. With careful trimming, a groomer can shape this mantle of hair into almost any desired size or shape, making this subtype a popular choice for modeling products due to its versatility in appearance.

One of KashiraCorp’s various obsolete subtypes.

Assuming the hatchling Impidimp passes basic inspection, they’re set through a rigorous year-long training program in KashiraCorp’s facility to force them into their final evolution as quickly as possible.

Those that survive their training receive their final grade based on their resulting physicality, of which there are four main points that KashiraCorp handlers look for.

1. Horns As it’s their main selling point, a Crowned Grimmsnarl’s horns are the first thing graded. Each symmetrical horn should have at least one half-curl, and the Grimm should be able to support a minimum of 200lbs from the tip of either horn without listing/shrugging. Their neck muscles are also checked for malformations. Crowned Grimmsnarls are perfected wall controllers[at least, according to KashiraCorp] and they use their horns to shatter their opponent’s barrier moves, such as Light Screen and Reflect, while still projecting their own walls of energy to benefit their Trainer and the rest of their team.

2. Physique A Crowned Grimmsnarl should be low to the ground, with noticeably long arms for their bodily proportions. Their upper body should be well toned beneath their hair- usually achieved via forceful strength training- and their legs should be stocky and short. They should reach, at a minimum, 5′00′‘ in height when standing, though no more than 6′00′‘, as they’re intended to stay near the ground to flip their opponents over.

They should possess a Power Gem at the centerpoint of their sternum which allows them to tap into Dynamax energy- if it hasn’t grown in by the time they reach their final evolution, it never will.

Crowned Grimmsnarls should not slouch unless resting- a hunched back is an immediate failure.

3. Coat Their hair is hydraulic, with each strand containing a type of resonant fluid that allows them to command it through auric impulses. Every band of hair should be smooth and sleek and partially elastic, with improved durability compared to their wild counterparts.

For ease of maintenance, a Crowned Grimmsnarl should have the ability to unfurl the bands at their arms and chest into a cape, similar to their tailcoat, which allows their Trainer to brush and comb them efficiently.

Curled coats are an automatic failure.

4. Gait A Crowned Grimmsnarl should be flat-footed with a sturdy, almost immovable stance. However, shortened tibia and elongated hindfeet are a common mutation, which causes them to walk with a digitigrade movement- making them extremely easy to knock down and renders them unsuitable for physical battle.

A Crowned Grimmsnarl should be able to run and walk at a reasonable pace without fraying their hair or tripping- a proper individual can carry two common humans on their back without faltering.

Their are other general tests, of course, regarding health, temperament, and trainability, but the above four are the most important regarding their physicality.

If a Crowned Grimmsnarl passes all of the above litmus tests, then they’re put up for sale by KashiraCorp. If they fail, well--- KashiFoods is a thing.

The rigidity of KashiraCorp’s standards for their Crowned Grimmsnarl subtype is why they’re one of the most expensive subtypes the company sells. They only put out the best of the best Pokemon, especially when it comes to their sought-after Fairy-types.

Sirocco seems oblivious of the background commotion.

"I'm only level 65- our Trainer kind of...quit on the whole training bit, or I'd probably be stronger at this point, but- I've already got the stats to tackle Pokemon with twice my experience, as long as I play it right!

According to the local professor, my Defense is somewhere in the low 300's, as is my Attack. Everything else could...use a bit of work, but I'm great when I'm pit against another Physical Attacker.

Draining Kiss can wipe out just about any Dragon-type, no matter the bulk. Foul Play's fun, too- the harder the hit the more it hurts 'em. Brick Break makes for a nasty surprise when someone's dumb enough to send a Prankster Grimm up against me. And...worst case, I can always use Horn Drill.

I’ve also got a secondary moveset for competitions! Those moves take practice though, so they’re not in my casual set.

And, after a few thousand hours of grooming, I now have Fur Coat for my Ability- so I can take one hell of a beating if I need too! And if something does manage to wear me down, my Focus Sash will keep me on my feet- usually, anyway."

It seems Sirocco’s stats are quite different from a common Grimm’s due to his subtyping.  KashiraCorp certainly seems talented with their genetic editing abilities.
