Ash's Pikachu and Abilities

Just a thought I had, but Ash's Pikachu seems to have an... interesting history with Abilities. Sort of? There's a couple different things I want to talk about here, but let's just say that Ash's Pikachu does not follow the normal rules and basically never did.

Officially (more on why I specified that later), Pikachu's ability is Static. In the games, Static causes opposing Pokémon to be paralyzed 30% of the time if they make contact. In the show... Uh, I'm not going to go through every episode and calculate the odds, but as far as I know Pikachu's Static activated only five times:

Gym battle with Norman, against Vigoroth

Gym battle with Roark, against Rampardos (which... uses Mold Breaker to cure the paralysis instantly??? That's not how that's supposed to work)

Battle with Paul at Lake Acuity, against Ursaring

Gym battle with Volkner, against Electrivire

Gym battle with Roxie, against Garboder

There may be other instances of it happening that I've missed, but the point that it is incredibly rare and almost never happened, to the point of not happening AT ALL post Black and White, still stands.

You wanna know something that happens a lot more often?

Pikachu absorbing electricity like he has Lightning Rod even though he doesn't have Lightning Rod.

(also sometimes it works like Volt Absorb instead, an ability Pikachu as a species can't even have in the first place)

That started in the first episode, when he absorbed an entire lightning bolt, boosting his electricity enough to take out all the Spearow with a single Thunder Shock. By the time his Static first activated, he'd already absorbed electricity more times than he ever used Static (this is why I specified 'officially' earlier). And he also never stopped doing that after abilities were introduced, it continued to happen even through Journeys.

(including boosting his electricity by hitting himself with Thunderbolt and absorbing it what the heck)

Speaking of Journeys, that also introduced another fun way for Pikachu to interact with electric abilities!

Namely, even when his opponent can absorb electricity, he gets to overload their ability and damage them anyway! That happened with 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt against Volkner's Electivire. It's not actually the first time, he ignored Togedemaru's Lightning Rod in Sun and Moon, but with Electivire it definitely wasn't a mistake and it's just something he can do now.

So, basically, Pikachu can just do whatever he wants with electricity and no one can stop him.

Nia references Trubbish and Garboder in one of the earlier chapters when counterin Tobias' argument about the oddities of the human world…

How could such a species even exist if humans never naturally came to be in this Pokemon world of Seekers?

One of Trubbish' Pokedex entries says, "... was created when garbage and industrial waste mixed, causing a reaction that generated Trubbish."

Unless you may have an entirely different origin in mind for them, lmao.

Same goes for both forms of Muk and Grimer.

… Do Kantonian Voltorb and Electrode exist in Seekers? I can't remember if either have ever appeared...

And I guess the regional forms directly affected by humankind's actions (i.e. Alolan Ratata and Raticate, Alolan Meowth and Persian, Galarian Weezing, Galarian Meowth and Perrserker, Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark) could technically have unique ways of comin to existence due to certain historical or cultural events in the past.

Apparently the Vanillish and Klink lines came first and are what inspired the creation of ice cream and gears…

What about Golett and Golurk and Baltoy and Claydoll? Both lines were created by ancient civilizations… Same POSSIBLY goes for Bronzong and Bronzor.

And I can see Rotom existin... they jus can't inhabit appliances because those jus don't exist in Seekers' pokeworld.

And what of the Magnemite line? Castform? Castform was shockinly actually artificially created in Hoenn to help predict weather! I could see them existin somehow through natural means (clouds that became sentient through mystical means).

What about Deoxys? Deoxys simply came from space when its virus inside a meteorite mutates in the planet's atmosphere… Not from any manmade means.

Does Spiritomb exist and would it be comprised of 108 Pokemon spirits?

The ones I can def rule out from previous asks and convos are Mewtwo, Porygon line, Genesect, Megearna, Type: Null/Silvally, the Galarian fossilmon, Future Paradox Pokemon… And that would also go for Past Parodox Pokemon as well.

I'm also guessin that rules out Meltan and Melmetal as well (can't remember if you mentioned that).

And ya said Ultrabeasts don't exist purely because of no Ultra Wormholes, so no Lunala, Necrozma, Solgaleo, Cosmog, nor Cosmeon. (Though someone made a point in the server about that tombstone possibly havin a depiction of Lunala on it…) I do like the idea that Lunala and Solgaleo have existed once in this world, but someday jus... vanished.

Eternatus is said to be from another world as well… I'm guessin it doesn't exist, or maybe it does to some compacity? Do Zacian and Zamazenta exist in some shape or form?

And since gimmicks like Z-Moves, Dynamax, Gigantamax, and Mega Evolution also don't exist, it'd only make sense the Terrastalization phenomenon also doesn't exist, so no Teragapos either… (Maybe they did at one time but have all vanished or gone extinct).

Could the Treasures of Ruin (Chien-Pao, Wo-Chien, Chi-Yu, and Ting-Lu) also exist in some capacity? It could've been some long forgotten or scarcely known Legendary crafted the items they possess and planted them as precious artifacts across rhe world that intrepid explorers or passersby found and the resultin avarice of whomever owned the treasures caused their curses to bring them to life and take on their corporeal forms as a form of punishment or some sick pleasure from that Legendary? I dunno, I jus really love this quartet! They're so fascinatin and I myself have actually found a way to incorporate them into my PMD EOS AU lore!!

I know this is an enormously long ask, but thanks tons if ya take the time to comb through this and offer some answers! I know a lot of this is reachin and not really pertinant to Seekers' main plot, but it'd be really cool supplementary material! Sorta like what ya guessed for Zekrom and Reshiram.

Oh dang, this is a beefy ask, haha! Here we go.

The Pokemon in Seekers still create waste, even if most of it isn't nearly as manufactured and toxic as the human world's! Plus, the runoff from natural poison types like the gulpin and clodsire lines contributes to the natural poison waste in the environment. I will say that poison types like trubbish and grimer are much less common in Seekers than in the mainline Pokemon worlds, though!

Kantonian voltorb and electrode exist as a natural steel-type offshoot of the Hisuian variant! They just happen to look a lot like the pokeballs of other Pokemon worlds. :]

Hm...I'm going to say the golett/baltoy/bronzor lines just came from ancient Pokemon civilizations' artifacts, rather than human ones!

Magnemite aren't artificially created, so they're present in the Seekers world! I agree that castform could exist through different means, but it's likely a rare occurrence since they would have to come together through a sort of "freak accident" of weather phenomena.

Deoxys isn't currently present in Seekers, but they would have the potential to show up at some point if the space virus made its way to the planet!

Spiritomb does exist, but it's Pokemon spirits instead of human ones as is usually implied in Pokemon's canon.

The meltan/melmetal line exists, though they're rare! They're not manmade and are born from natural steel components.

Whoops. Forgot that I mentioned Lunala on the crobat's tombstone, haha!!! 😅 Let's say that Lunala and Solgaleo are largely considered legends, then, even more so than other Legendary Pokemon. They were thought to exist once, but have long since returned to their own dimensions and are no longer present in the Seekers canon.

Similar to Deoxys, Eternatus isn't currently present in the Seekers world, but could potentially show up if the meteorite it was born from in canon showed up in the world!

Zacian and Zamazenta exist, just without the same lore from Sword and Shield (so no Darkest Day). Instead, they simply guard their territory from threats. I don't think they'll be considered Legendary in Seekers, though. They feel more like regular (albeit powerful) Pokemon to me. I don't have an area in mind for where they dwell, though! 

Terapagos probably exists, but its ambient power isn't enough to cause terrastalization in other Pokemon. No game gimmicks here.

The Treasures of Ruin might exist, but that's another quartet that I wouldn't really consider "Legendaries" in Seekers canon! I'd say they're lying dormant in their shrines throughout the Seekers world, but I don't have any lore currently on who sealed them away. They were sealed away due to being dangerous, though, since they were created from negative emotions! Not that that nixes the possibility for redemption down the line. 👀

Hope that satisfies some of your curiosity!

[ghostie-gengar]

oh yeah one year anniversary of unova under siege happened with absolutely no fanfare!! well here's some fanfare now! i don't have anything to commemorate this momentous occasion but here's some canon fun facts that kinda never get mentioned

blair's garboder is nicknamed "cheren." similarily, cheren (the person) caught a trubbish and nicknamed it "blair." blair (the trubbish) has unfortunately been lost due to team plasma hacking the PC system and mass releasing Pokemon

blair's mom is from a fanmade region of mine called Arjitos (ar-hee-tose). it's based on Argentina. I literally never talk about Arjitos but sometimes I think about it in the shower or something

colress' favourite anime is fullmetal alchemist

the green scrunchie bianca wears was bought for her by cheren. she was quite easily recognized as "the girl with the green hat" so she had to stop wearing her green beret, but cheren was kind enough to get her a different green accessory

liv was originally going to pick snivy as her starter, but since she had to travel from castelia to nuvema, snivy had already been chosen, leaving her with tepig. she loves her emboar very much tho and there is no animosity!!

ghetsis does not know about N's pronoun change, but would be supportive if he did

colress' nickname for grimsley is vampire cuz when they're smooching and being gay and shit grimsley's kind of a biter

rosa may secretly loves anime

unova under siege is a multiverse

alder is the ancient hero from hisui who assembled all the nobles

[pokemonpetfinder]

How come you adoption places only ever have cute Pokémon? Where's my ugly stinky little guys my absolute nasty girls gimme a fckin uhhhhhhh ghost type or poison or bug and not the cute ones!!!

Beauty is subjective, my guy, but alright. We'll make sure to show the ugly bois we have here too. Here's Stinky Winky With A Big Mac.

Stinky (adopted)

Name: Stinky Winky With A Big Mac

Species: Garboder

Type: Poison

Terra Type: Poison

Breed: Standard

Sex: Male

Height: 6'04

Weight: 236.7 lbs

Ability: Weak armor

Moveset: Take down, Sludge bomb, Explosion, Giga drain

Stinky Winky With A Big Mac (goes by Stinky) is a large Garbodor with a braincell that dings around his brain. Surprisingly, he likes to clean and pick up trash around where he lives, which he puts into himself. He's a garboder, so he obviously smells bad, so you shouldn't adopt him if you have serious sensory issues. He's been with us for a while and is very affectionate, which can be gross, but it's also a bit sweet. If interested in adoption, reblog this post with your qualifications and reasons why.

[psn-stalling]

Trubbish is a cat pokemon, and garboder evolves from it meaning it should be a cat meaning YOU are a cat pokemon

Well.

Good thing I'm a human and not a Trubbish.

Lots of poison type Pokémon get flak for being "weird" or "gross" and some people find just downright evil.

While I won't deny that Garboder might smell, though my nose doesn't work properly so I can't really tell, I think there's a lot of unjust hate towards truly fascinating creatures like these.

One Pokémon line that is a sweet and gentle mess that people associate with trash and pollution is the Grimer line.

Grimer and Mul are friendly and small creatures composed of bacteria and slime, and while that might sound unpleasant they actually perform a great service to the world around them!

You see the main diet of these amorphous friends is sewage, not the water, its theorised they filter most of that out so as to not dilute their forms too much, but the gross stuff inside of it.

They're usually found in alleys and sewers eating up all the gross and toxic things that we litter around and flush.

In fact we've used them as a way to deal with excessive pollution! In Alola Muk and Grimer were brought in to deal with what had become a dangerous amount of pollution and waste, and due to this new diet it took upon a different form from it's normal one we see in our cities as it was primarily eating garbage.

So unlike the purple and grey slime it became much more colourful! Along with this it also has what look like teeth but are actually crystallised toxins! This also had an effect on its typing, adding dark to the mix.

You might be thinking of getting a Grimer or Muk yourself now to reduce your impact on the environment but this probably wouldn't be a good idea, Grimer and Muk while friendly and Generally safe for humans to be around, except for its nesting areas which it will defend, are incredibly bad for plant life, including plant Pokémon. So it's best to not get them for that purpose. Although you could try and petition your town or local government to start using them in your water treatment facilities or garbage dumps to lessen the impact on the environment!

I have an Alolan Muk, affectionately named Ammonia, that I was gifted while over there on a research trip in High-school for a summer study! While I can't keep it in the regular enclosure areas around Prof Heather's lab or in my own ranch areas I do have a nice warm pool that I dump my excess compost into and he absolutely loves it! Though I need to be careful because as I've said Muk and Grimer are very friendly and will often hug and lick their trainers, so I try not to do it after I've had a shower.
