Wait Pokemon can be trans. They have the mental capacity to make decisions on their gender?

Yeah, some of them do. Mostly psychic types and more humanoid pokemon, but other pokemon can be trans too.

Surprisingly (not sarcastic btw), some pokemon have gained a concept of gender away from sex

[quillpokebiology]

When a Pokemon brings their mate—a wild Pokemon—to their trainer, what is this supposed to mean? Like, are they seeking approval?

Asking because my Lilligant brought in a random wild Roserade with her after going missing and I have no clue on what to do. He (the Roserade) seems peaceful though.

1) Wants to bring her mate to where she feels most comfortable

2) Yes, she could be looking for approval. In a situation like this, since it's fully evolved and most likely used to living in the wild, you should ask if it wants to be caught instead of just throwing the pokeball at it. It'll understand (Liligant can explain it to them, they're smarter than you think)

Angora Type/Furry type Angora Buneary

How cute!

Female Delcatty and male Wailord hybrid?

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP ASKING THIS!

Ugh, fine. Have this then.

Pokemon Crossbreeds: Fishercat

//Name idea from @thesnivy123 . Catfish seems liked it'd be the opposite, so prepare for that ig!

Fishercat is the name for Skitty/Delcatty whose fathers are Wailmer/Wailord. They were named after their ability to swim well, which they use to catch fish. The breed is larger and fatter than the average Delcatty and is nonexistent in the wild. While many people love the breed for their chuckinees and ability to swim very gracefully, many breeders prefer to stop breeding them because they're prone to obesity and it's dangerous for the Skitty/Delcatty when mating.

Skitty

Fishercat Skitty are much larger in height and gains the teeth and belly pattern of Wailmer. Their ears become blue instead of purple, and they gain fatter tails.

Delcatty

Fishercat Delcatty are fatter and longer. Their pillow becomes combined and more blubber-like, they gain the belly patterns of Wailord, and their tail gains the fins of Wailord. Like stated before, they are excellent swimmers and due very well in the water due to their added buoyancy. They're a lot slower on land which don't make them great battle breeds. These Delcatty love rating fish and sea vegetation.

//My designs can be used by anyone if you credit me for the original design! Talking about design below cut

These designs were actually very easy. All I needed to do was make a fat Skitty and Delcatty and half the job is done. Wailer is pretty bland, so I just gave skitty its pattern and body color on its ears.

Delcatty was more funner to make. I imagine that its pillow has jiggle physics, so they'd be so fun to play with when it's time to bother your cat. Also, maybe Fishercat Skitty that evolved to early and are small will be carried by it from their mothers, lol. Anyways, they're fatter, and have patterns. Fun.

Quill? How old can a honedge be? My grandpa just gave me a honedge in a old, old, old pokeball and i'm confused....

(copying this from my post: Asking because there was a honedge in the ball... but it's sword looks extremely different any of the honedges that i've seen as a kid. The scarf thing looks like old... wool? Only way I can describe it since it looks like fabric from a kilt but it has a little metal on the scarf. It's sheath also looks more bronze, but I could be wrong, it also looks like copper. Oh and it's blade! It's really long, like longer than my forearm and it's got notches on the blade at irregular points on it's left side close to it's handle.)

Permission to be confused also on how it's a multi-generational guardian?

from @tokensofmyconfections

Honedge can't die from sickness or old age, so if they're not crushed or something, they're basically immortal.

About the Honedge you described, it is a bit odd, but Honedge variants are a common thing due to them inhabiting different swords and breeding over time.

I did some research, and it could maybe be a crossbreed. The closest thing I can see for the scarf is Frosslass mix, but that doesn't fit the other parts you described.

Permission to be confused

Is tthere some pokémon that just, don't want to evolve to their final form? And if that's common or not in pokémon? As i seen a trainer with a bisharp that doesn't feel the need to evolve, as they told me.

It is common actually!

Pokemon evolve to get stronger, so many pokemon of battling trainers will want to evolve to fulfill the trainer's wishes. But, it's not uncommon for a pokemon to want to fully evolve either. It's even more common in the wild.

I'll use Rookidee as an example. As Corvisquire or Corviknight, they're bigger and stronger, but being bigger and stronger also brings unwanted side effects, such as pokemon looking for a challenge, Tinkaton looking for metal, and needing a lot more food to survive. It's easier for them to just stay a Rookidee, where they can eat less food and still have a lot of energy, are smaller and can easily hide better, and not bring unwanted attention.

Evolution is about convenience. If a wild pokemon doesn't need to evolve to survive, then it won't. And if a pokemon with a trainer doesn't want to evolve because they like their current form, than it's best not to force it to.

slurpuff and wigglytuff hybrid, aka:

Flan

Yeah, sure

Pokemon Crossbreeds: Flan

Flan is the name for members of the Slurpuff line whose fathers were members of the Jigglypuff line. The breed was named after th Flan Cake, which is known for being big and fluffy.

Swirlix

Flan Swirlix gain a more pinkish color, Jigglypuff's ears, and Igglybuff's swirl, this time on their stomach. The breed is also a bit fatter, and due to their Jigglypuff genes, they have an easier time floating.

Slurpuff

Flan Slurpuff are bigger and bouncier. Instead of their thin white fur covering their body, it starts at their snout and ends at the end of their stomach. They have pointier feet and more pointed ears, as well as light blue eyes. Other than to learn the move Copycat, they breed wasn't bred for anything, but many like it because their fur is extra pleasant.

//My designs can be used by anyone if you credit me! Talking about drawing process under the cut

Swirlix was super easy to design, but I worried that it was too little, since Igglybuff and Jigglypuff don't really have a lot to add. But, it felt fine when I colored it. Thank God for similar color schemes.

I actually designed Slurpuff first because I was very excited for a Slurpuff/Wigglytuff crossbreed. Decided to add the tuff to the berry bcuz I felt it looked weird on Slurpuff's hair. The thing I struggled with most was height, bcuz I kept feeling like it should be taller. But, I got there. Added the little tufts on the end bcuz I thought it looked cute. There's literally no other reason for that/srs.

I actually have a mist of crossbreeds I want to do (might post the folder here bcuz yes, I do receive your asks). Slurpuff and Wigglytuff was there, but I called it Marshamllow since Jigglypuff is a Marshmallow, but I like Flan better because it matches with Slurpuff's cake theme.

…holy arceus I think my ralts might be an egg

Please help

Do you mean lay an egg? I'm going to assume lay an egg!

While Ralts don't have to evolve to become adults, it can be a bit concerning to Kay an egg as a ralts, because the egg is half the size of them. But please, please do not panic! Your ralts will pick up on it and panic as well.

Prepare for it. You will NOT allow them to lay an egg at home. Once they show signs of labor, you're rushing them to the nearest pokemon center because there is a 90% chance it will need a C section. Ralts are gravid for about 2 weeks, so please prepare as much as you can.

After your ralts lays the egg, give it recovery time. It's body just squeezed out ab egg half the size of it, it's going to need time to recover.

If you want to keep the egg, get an incubator. It'll hatch in a couple of weeks.

Hope these help! Good luck to your ralts!
