Poltchageist Facts

-The scientific name for Poltchageist is "Celadonia matsugia" which roughly translates to "matcha-repaired celadon"

-Despite their similar appearance to Sinistea, Poltchageist are not at all related to them. However, they do share the same family called the Poltergeist family. The Poltergeist family doesn't necessarily mean the pokemon are related, but rather that they're pokemon that posses/resemble household objects

-While the original Poltchageist might've been the spirit of an old teacup, many modern Poltchageist are the effects of breeding through generations and are not the ghosts of anything

-Unlike many other grass types, Poltchageist don't actually like being out in the sun for too long and will oftentimes try to avoid it, aligning with more Agaricaceae pokemon than plant pokemon

-Like most ghost types, Poltchageist are long-living and can't die naturally

-Poltchageist have been imported from Kitakami to Paldea since the Middle Ages. Because it would take such a long time to import them, they were very expensive (yes people would buy them) and something only the wealthy could afford. Becuse of this, Poltchageist have been depicted as snobs or super fancy in Paldean media

-Poltchageist are attracted to old and dark houses and will often make their homes in them, hiding away in the cupboards. Oftentimes, Kitakamians don't mind them because they will repair broken objects. As long as they're kept happy, they won't try to harm the person

-Outside of urban areas, Poltchageist can be found in the bamboo fields/forests in Kitakami, which is where they get their chashaku

-Poltchageist hunt by using their matcha to drain the human or pokemon's life force. They have been reported to also enjoy tricking beings into drinking their tea as well

-Poltchageist are known to mend and repair items, but they also like to craft their own items as well

-Poltchageist are nocturnal, coming out at night and roaming the streets. There's an old belief in Kitakami that if you hear something in your kitchen at the dead of night, it's probably a Poltchageist

Paldea and Kitakami pokedexes finally complete~~~!!

And I stupidly caught all of the legendaries (including miraidon) all in regular pokeballs because I wanted to, lol.

Hunting down the stakes were a pain and I used a guide from Austin John Plays~~~~

The Teal Mask DLC is also complete~~

Feel bad for the Ogerpon fight tho; as I used my tera raid build Iron Hands, Bulked up and one drain punch ended all 4 phases of the fight, well one for each phase. Just complete health drain. rip.

I'm proud of myself but also fear going into The Indigo Disk~~~

Feel accomplished because the first pokedex I've completed legitimately since Sun and Moon years ago~~ Completed black and white's not counting version exclusives but no longer have that save.

2 out of 3~~~ One to go~~~

Also apparently you can find magnezone and garchomp just casually floating and zooming near the mouth of the great crater of paldea. How I caught my magnezone btw, lol.

Gardevoir and Gallade Shipping in The Teal Mask

💚🤍

Here is the new cover image for Gallade in the Kitakami Pokédex (looks like he’s proposing to Gardevoir as had been pointed out on Twitter). They remind me of Link and Zelda.

Gardevoir is actually one of my favorite Pokémon, and I really appreciate anything with it that is not sexualized. I am hoping to find others who agree with me and are looking for nice images of Gardevoir and/or Gallade like this one.

[goodmorningdove]

Crying screaming throwing up no one has congratulated me on completing the paldea pokedex and getting the shiny charm

Hey PSA for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet players:

PLEASE STOP TRADING HACKED SHINY POKEMON IN SURPRISE TRADE.

Not only does it suck because the pokemon can't be used for online play- you're actively harming other players.

People have recently brought pokemon they didn't know were hacked to tournaments because they got them through surprise trade and they got banned for doing so.

If you get a shiny hacked pokemon (easiest way to tell is if OT is something like Monforge.com or RioluHQ.com) release it. It's safer for you if you do. It's against pokemon's TOS and there's always a risk of them just disappearing from your HOME boxes one day or you getting banned for having them.

This wouldn't be such a massive issue if gamefreak actually put into place the same type of hack detection for surprise trade they do for every other bit of online play and tournaments but they can't be bothered to. I've had to release 3 hacked pokemon so far in trying to hatch a shiny because people keep trading them.

If you get one: Take the ability patch from it (the item itself is safe). And release it. It's the best way to keep other unknowing players safe.

[n7punk]

Dipplin Facts

-The scientific name for Dipplin is "Sirrifictus Dracoves" which combines the word "Sirupus" meaning syrup, and "Fructus" meaning fruit, while "Dracoves" means dragon. The rough translation for this mon is "Syrup-Fruit Dragon"

-Since Syrup apples are only grown in Kitakami, Kitakami is the only place in the world where you can find wild Dipplin. This also affects the syrup apple market, making them very expensive to buy in other regions

-Dipplin are very important to Kitakami's culture, appearing in many folktales and stories. They're even the national pokemon of Kitakami

-While in other are seen as pests, Dipplin in Kitakami are welcomed because they are said to bring a good harvest. There are often entire syrup apple fields made entirely for them

-While the pokedex says Dipplin has a fore-wyrm and While it does have a brain, it's not as developed as Dipplins. Think of it as a baby in a womb, where it's alive but not really sentient

-Dipplin have the softest scales of the entire Applin line and rely more on their apples than Appletun and Flapple

-Dipplin use the pointed appendage on their head to wrap around tree branches and cling to them. They'll often hide in their apples when they do this, disguising themselves. They share this trait with Flapple

-Dipplin and the rest of its line are distant relatives the the sceptile line

-In the wild, Dipplin can be found in Kitakami woodlands and apple fields

-Dipplin have a very sweet smell and, if around them for too long, it can make you feel a bit nauseous

-Instead of teeth, Dipplin have bristles. These bristles help them swallow food whole

-Dipplon mostly eat apples and small bug types

-Sometimes, when Dipplin lay eggs, they'll store the eggs inside of their apple as well. The second Wyrm will keep the eggs warm and add extra protection

-Dipplin rely heavily on the sun to get their energy. Without it, they can become grumpy and sluggish

-Dipplin ears are just small holes on the side of their heads

-Dipplin is the only member in the Applin line with a three-staged evolution. Because of this, researcher suspect that Flapple and Appletun might also have a secret third evolution

-In order to power their attacks, Dipplin produce a lot of extra saliva (it can be very gross)

Not me thinking of buying another switch just so i can trade for a politoad

[adelha-mathilde]

The mun was planning on doing some writing.

Instead, the mun dives head first into the newly released Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC and loses all track of time.

Also still haven't found a Carbink to complete my Kitakami Pokedex.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Could I maybe get a Hisuian!Reader who came to Paldea through a space time rift? They remember everything, they still have all their old Pokemon, they like to share stories of their adventures (anything from taking on Volo to "Oh yeah, I caught this alpha garchomp after a half-hour standoff, here's her gigaton ball lol."), they've got little scars here and there from accidentally standing too close to Pokemon attacks or taking fall damage, and they give descendants of their Hisuian Pokemon to their blueberry friends (BBE4, Carmine, and Kieran) during their trades. To make things even more interesting, I wonder what that reader would think about bloodmoon ursaluna, Perrin, and modern Sinnoh - seeing their dear friend Adaman in someone alive today and seeing just how much things have changed over the years

The PLA fixation is real so YESSSIR I finally got around to this one. I separated the headcanons by region and their respective characters

.............

Paldea (Arven, Penny, Nemona)

After finishing your mission in Hisui, you decided to confront Arceus, being satisfied with everything you've done for the Survey Corps and the good people of Jubilife Village.

You fully finished the pokedex, fulfilling Professor Laventon's dreams, and were ready to return home.

After some reluctance, Arceus agreed and ensured you wouldn't lose any of your memories, as you didn't want all your feats in Hisui become lost to history.

It warned you that you'll never get to see Rei/Akari, Professor Laventon, the Wardens...or anyone else ever again.

But you've said your goodbyes and were ready to go back.

One warp through a space-time rift later, you were dropped off in Paldea-

Right where Arven, Penny, and Nemona were discussing whether to call off the search for you or not.

As it turns out, you've been missing for months, not long after the Area Zero adventure, and so it's a rather tearful reunion when they realize the person in the old fashioned clothing was you.

You looked tired, scarred, battle-hardened...and yet you smiled as you joked about being "back from the past".

Since then, easing back into modern life was..trickier than you expected.

You still had the habit of crafting pokeballs and potions as you were taught, rather than spend money buying them in bulk (even though you had boatloads because of your champion status).

You tried getting the trio to follow your directions, but they kept fumbling with the tumblestones and didn't know where to attach the iron chunks that made up the clasps.

When you start talking about feather, wing, leaden, and gigaton pokeballs they stare at you in confusion until you realize "oh shit those are outdated".

Nemona is VERY curious about the gigaton ball, however, and so you show it to her--revealing your Alpha Garchomp branded with the "Former Alpha" mark. She got to keep her height.

"Oh yeah, she was a real feisty one. We had a half-hour standoff on a slippery ice mountain slope but I showed her who's boss haha." You laugh as you share the story of how you encountered and tamed her.

Your fellow champion now thinks you're 10x cooler for actually facing a Pokémon head-on....while poor Arven and Penny are shook(TM) and wondered how you made it back alive.

Especially when they discover your scars are from falling and vicious Pokemon attacks

Introducing your Hisuian starter to your Paldean starter was...a little awkward. One recently became a champion's Pokémon and the other faced Giratina itself.

But they eventually shake hands and become besties, becoming members of your party whenever you wanna battle Arven, Penny, or Nemona again.

You keep accidentally calling out agile/strong style in your commands (ie "Avalugg, make an Agile Avalanche!"), but your Pokémon like to pretend they still know them.

Kitakami (Perrin & Bloodmoon Ursaluna)

Returning to Kitakami felt most familiar..and quite comforting considering how traditional everything is.

Festival of the Masks came back around, and while you didn't get to spend it with Kieran nor Carmine this time...you did wind up spending it with somebody else...

Perrin, who you were drawn to after seeing her Hisuian Growlithe getting into trouble with an Arbok and trying to stand up for itself.

Reminds you of a certain late lord's son..

She expresses her thanks for rescuing her buddy, and mentions how you got there "right on time".

You just look into her eyes and see Adaman: the Diamond Clan leader, the kind man who gave you the celestica flute and came to your aid when you got exiled from the village.

He may be gone now, but time didn't allow him to be forgotten.

Because he lives on in somebody else.

Perrin gets concerned when she sees how emotional you're getting, but you just wipe your eyes and say she just reminds you of an "old friend".

When you show her your other Hisuian Pokémon, she's THRILLED and wants to take all of their pictures, delighted to have proof that these creatures existed.

That leads her to ask how you acquired them, and you start talking about your adventures in the very region she's been studying...including the fact you met her ancestor who used to worship Dialga and had an easygoing attitude like her.

Girl is taking notes fr.

Together you seek out the "Bloodmoon Beast", only to discover that it was an Ursaluna who travelled alllll the way to Kitakami from Hisui, the environment causing it to change appearances and abilities.

You were fascinated, wondering what Lord Ursaluna or Calaba would think of him, and made him a member of your team after quelling his rage.

While going on more casual photoshoots with Perrin, you ask her about what Sinnoh is like now or if anyone there knew about Hisui.

She mentions how the elderly folk talk of it, and how the subway battle system was being run by one conductor due to the other going missing...

You find yourself holding your breath---until she says "oh but apparently he came back like yesterday" and you were SO relieved.

'Ingo made it back home, too. Thank you Arceus.'

She plans to invite you to Sinnoh someday, seeing as you're so curious about what it all looks like now.

BB Academy (BBE4, Carmine, & Kieran)

When you got to study abroad at BB Academy, you...sorta forgot all the beef you had with Kieran until you saw him berating a student out in the terarium.

A year later, you're Paldea's champion AND the one who saved Hisui, but you couldn't exactly tell him the latter.

But now you understood why everyone back then calling you a "hero" made you a little uncomfortable.

Ogerpon (who was worried sick about where you've gone all this time), was SO happy to see you were back and got to meet your Hisuian Lilligant. Two plant gals just vibing together.

You find a Kleavor in the canyon biome and become a bit sentimental, happy to see a descendant of the Lord of the Woods had survived to this very day.

He must've known you were the one who helped his ancestor (albeit not without receiving some scars from flying wood chips), as he bowed and began walking alongside you, loyal to a tee.

Least to say, he became a valuable ally when you finally battled Kieran in the championship.

He sees that you've definitely changed a lot, too. You look tougher and he was concerned about where that scar across your eye came from....

But he's still obsessed with winning, and his attitude when talking about Terapagos afterwards reminds you of...well...Volo.

It's such an extreme comparison, and you hate how your brain immediately jumped to that considering that was a legitimate monster of a man who betrayed you.

Yet it feels like such a similar situation when Kieran pits the turtle against you in the Underdepths, obsessed with power and wanting nothing more than to be recognized as "worthy".

At least he wasn't planning on ending the world, just yours.

After you both reconcile, you spill the beans about where you've gone for the past year, expecting him to laugh or shun you again for keeping such a big secret from him.

Instead..he has this star-eyed look and wanted to know MORE.

So during your next visit to Kitakami, you tell him and Carmine some stories of your Hisuian adventures, showing off Kleavor and your Alpha Garchomp.

Seeing that you still liked to make authentic pokeballs and potions made Kieran appreciate you a lot more. Kitakami used to have a lot of those apricorns, tumblestones, and leeks before everything became mass-produced.

Like him, you really became out-of-touch with today's technology, so while he's learning it, you're re-learning it along with him.

Eventually you tell those same stories to the BB E4, who are all just as shocked, amazed, and bewildered as the twins were.

And when they all came to offer up a trade, you knew what to do:

For Drayton, you gave him a Goomy, insisting that he trains it fully, not wanting to spoil the "surprise".

As lazy as he is, he does so and is stunned when Sliggoo is revealed to be chilling in its own shell, and Goodra had its whole shell on its tail, capable of withdrawing into it anytime

Ngl it makes him wish he had his own shell to withdraw into just to escape situations.

For someone like Kieran who likes old-fashioned stuff, you figured a Hisuian Voltorb would suit him best.

Its appearance reminds you of the olden ways pokeballs were made, and he got the hang of crafting a few himself after a little trial and error!

He gets nervous about it exploding like Kantonian Voltorbs at the slightest touch, but is happy to find out it's super friendly and discharges just to spook humans.

As for Carmine, the sharpness in her golden eyes reminds you of a certain ghost type's...and thus you believed giving her a Hisuian Zorua was ideal. You had a feeling she'd love its evolved form.

When she does evolve it, she's stunned that it has reddish highlights like she does, jokingly asking if this is her in "another life".

Least to say, she loves it indeed.

While you were adamant about giving Amarys your Kleavor, you ended up trading her a Scyther and give her a black augurite afterwards, explaining how it's the secret to its other evolution.

She mentioned deposits of that mineral existing within the canyon biome, but it couldn't actually evolve the surrounding Scyther population due to being simulated.

But thanks to you, she gets to witness that in-action because you held onto an authentic piece of it, and she gives you her thanks.

As for Crispin, well, you believed a Hisuian Growlithe was perfect for him. It was energetic, loyal, and full of fire..just like him.

He got teary-eyed at the story you told of the late Lord Arcanine, his son, how you quelled his frenzy, etc..and feels inspired to train the pup you've given him into something incredible.

One thing Kantonian and Hisuian Arcanines have in common? They love spicy foods.

For Lacey, you trade her a Hisuian-born Petili, encouraging her to use the sun stone right away.

She does and is delighted to see Lilligant as such a graceful dancer..who really packs a punch when it counts!

She'll definitely doll her up and ensure she knew Charm (the only fairy move Hisuian Lilligant could know, alas).

[v0id-echoes]

another interesting twitter observation I wanna talk about

people may have just uncovered a new / upcoming pokemon in Teal Mask related to the Loyal Three

story spoilers for Teal Mask ahead, also pretty long post warning

so in this image used when Carmine and Kieran’s grandpa is explaining Ogerpon’s real backstory to us, people noticed this cut off shape above Okidogi’s head.

Some people seem convinced that this is Okidogi’s hand / fist, but I personally don’t think it looks like that at all. One person suggested that this is Ogerpon without its mask on, which is hilariously wrong, hilariously stupid and makes zero sense in context.

However, a full image of this “mysterious shape” was apparently found in the games files, with all the other assets used in this sequence.

So naturally, people believe this is a new Pokemon. And while I find it reasonable to an extent to doubt this image’s validity, there is something in game to corroborate this. In the shop in Mossui Town, there’s a plush that looks exactly like this supposed Pokemon, just upside down, which is interestingly coloured the same as the Loyal Three’s toxic chains.

For those who don’t know, although the roles are reversed Ogerpon and the Loyal Three are based on the Japanese story of Momotarō, a boy who befriended a talking dog, monkey and pheasant (the Loyal Three) and worked with them to defeat a band of Oni (Ogerpon). However as you probably know if you’ve finished the Teal Mask story, the Loyal Three don’t really have a leader or Momotarō equivalent as far as we can see. However if we’re to assume this little purple thing is a real Pokemon, it’s safe to assume it’ll fill that role.

There’s even more evidence to back up this suggestion too. For one, the Loyal Three are all classified as “Retainer Pokemon” in the Pokedex. One definition of the word “retainer”- the only one that really makes sense in this sort of context- is essentially a servant or domestic worker. It’s very interesting that they’d choose to classify the Loyal Three as Retainers, rather than something more fitting to what we see of them in the game like “Ruffian Pokemon” or just the animals they’re based on or something, because this implies that they are indeed working under something or someone.

The other bit of evidence is that, like I said, the plushie of this supposed Pokemon is coloured the same as the Loyal Three’s toxic chains. Their Scarlet dex entries talk about how their bodies were changed and enhanced by these chains, implying that they were something different, probably smaller and weaker pokemon, originally. It’s possible that this pokemon was the source of these chains and the one who gave them to the Three, maybe in exchange for them becoming its “Retainers”.

So essentially, this supposed Pokemon is the Loyal Three’s “Momotarō”.

What do you guys think of this? With how much evidence there seems to be, I find it hard to believe nothing will come of this at all, although I am curious exactly how they’d introduce this thing if Kitakami’s story is all wrapped up.
