Our couriers have settled for their natural winter brumation! Allowing the courier Dragonite and Dragonair to go through this period of little to no activity has been shown to have benefitial results in their health [1, 2].

All manner of mail is stopped until they awake in mid-spring. All outgoing mail has been outsourced to our colleagues in the Pelipper Mail Services. We thank you for your patronage!

Can I give you a boop?

Given permission from our couriers, you may pet them as they see fit.

The weather is very sunny, here in Kanto! Pat started their route earlier to avoid the hours of intense heat. J

ust because dragon-types are resistant to fire, doesn't mean they shouldn't be careful during sunny days!

Pat says to take care out there, and remember to wear sunscreen, a hat, and drink plenty of water!

Dragonite often hibernate or migrate during the colder months. The ability to carry out these behaviours is often linked to a better overall health condition, thusly we provide the appropriate conditions for our couriers to do so, shall they wish, and reduce our services accordingly and temporarily.

However, some Dragonite, like Postal here, can handle colder weather without a problem, due to their thicker blubber! Only rarely do these dragons choose to hibernate and thus we can continue our services during winter and in colder regions.

While we experience a temperate spring in our Kanto Isles, Postal sends their greetings from the ever-snowy Snowpoint City, in Sinnoh! That may very well be the first time that Abomasnow has seen a Dragonite... Wearing such a snazzy outfit, to help along with the blubber!

Postal sends us this picture of their current route, heading towards Hoenn. Postal is so apt at reading wind currents that they can often go hours without beating their wings, relying solely on wind-shear soaring!

What do you think is the most important quality of a courier?

For Pat, it's time management! They always manage their route very efficiently, without sacrificing the safety of their baggage, just so they can have time to window-shop every bakery in Kanto before flying back to headquarters.

[dragonite-mail-services]

Our couriers are certainly very flattered with these gifts! From them, and from the humans working in tandem with them, we extend our most kind gratitude!

Pat has wasted no time in displaying the portrait alongside their favourite items! While we do try to go for a blend of their natural environment with modern comfort, we've provided Pat with a special cabinet so the objects of their admiration will be protected.

Even the usually straight-faced Postal seems to be bursting with joy as they proudly display a picture of the portrait to a passing domestic courier Pelipper, near Hoenn. A physical portrait will be handed to them as soon as they return to headquarters, worry not!

As for young Stamp, seems like he simply cannot contain his joy over receiving his first-ever fan gift! We've laminated the portrait to protect it, but after these Dragonair hugs, it may be wiser if we make some extra copies.

This will be the First Fanart Friday I participate in, and I wanted to do something for one of my favorite blogs on here.

From left to right, you have Stamp, Pat, and Postal, all from @dragonite-mail-services. I couldn't decide between the three of them, so I went with drawing all of them.

Their art style is so cute, and I love the characters, too. Their posts always put a bright smile on my face whenever I see them.

Hello, Stamp!

Stamp says hello! Pat has lent him a full-fledged courier hat to help build his confidence. It's our unbiased opinion that he looks pretty snazzy in it, wouldn't you agree?

[dragonite-mail-services]

(@ask-team-searchlights) Gen: "How far do you deliver letters?"

Pat has written the following:

"Hello, this is Pat! We can deliver anywhere at anytime!!

Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit... We may be great, but we have our limits!

Me and the rest of the bandana Dragonite can deliver letters anywhere in Kanto! As for the Sevii islands, we're training some new couriers to deliver there, like my junior, Stamp!

As for the scarf Dragonite, like my sibling Postal, they deliver just about anywhere in the world! Postal is often gone for weeks at a time, but they enjoy it that way. "

[dragonite-mail-services]

To ensure their wellbeing and to prevent injury from overworking, our couriers are given periodic mandatory breaks.

Refreshed by a relaxing break, Pat seems to be somewhat drowsy, yet eager to work! As for Postal, they're quiet impatient to get to travelling once more!

[dragonite-mail-services]

Postal has a bite out of an authentic Paldean sandwich while their packages are prepared for the journey back.

These Wooper are quite different from the ones from Postal's homeland of Kanto!

[dragonite-mail-services]

To anyone visiting the Celadon Department Store... It seems our brave couriers have gotten stuck on the escalator while delivering the mail.

[dragonite-mail-services]

Postal was delivering a brand new, Orre-made locomotive over to the Unovan Subway System!

The Subway Masters offer their greetings and gratitude!

[dragonite-mail-services]

This is so cute!!!!!

Our courier, Pat, is quite used to compliments and is familiar with how to accept one casually and without big fuss.

Stamp seems to be a bit flustered... He'll get better with practice!

[dragonite-mail-services]

Postal was quite eager to show off to the borrowed flight crew their transport vest, which allows them to carry very heavy cargo by distributing the weight evenly across their body, thus preventing any injuries or loss of balance...

But the Swoobat appear to be more distracted by the astonishing height at which Postal flies!

[dragonite-mail-services]

On today's route, Pat will be helping along a trainee Dragonair! Everyone, please greet young Stamp!

Recently evolved, this young dragon is ready to start training to be a courier in Kanto, like their mentor Pat!

[dragonite-mail-services]

For the last leg of this delivery in Unova, Postal will require some assistance from our colleagues at Mistralton Deliveries.

Just a short pitstop before heading towards the package’s destination! What could Postal be delivering this time?
