baseball slides in. could i request orthworm.

Of course you can!

#968 Orthworm

The Earthworm Pokémon (wow, thanks for that), a Steel Type from the Paldea region! Fun fact: Orthworms name in german is "Schlurm" and that is objectively the better name.

Serious Ratings!

Stats: 7/10 It's of course suffering a bit from the "no evolution" curse so it's BST is not the best, but thanks to power creep it's a bit above average in its weight class. It's got ok HP and great Def, of course like many steel types, and accordingly its SpD is horrible. It's clearly a physical attacker, and it can take a hit or two to make the slow speed work as long as you play it right. You can definitely use it in game.

Availability: 8/10 As it's from the most recent generation, i can only judge its availability there. It is a little bit out of the way and doesn't appear all too often in my experience, but it's not hard to find one.

Lore: 7/10 there is not much lore to Orthworm, but the little bit that is there is pretty cool. It's one of the Titan Pokémon, and as one of the more "not too exciting" pokémon of the region, it does its job wonderfully and shows how a single stage pokémon can be, well, exciting. I liked battling it. In addition, i think its signature ability is great. I don't get why its steel type though.

Fun: 6/10 I didn't use it in my own playthrough, but again, i had fun with it as a Titan Pokémon. I imagine it can be interesting to use and i have seen some people online use it in their competitive teams so it gets a "slightly above mediocre" 6 from me

Design: 9/10 It is definitely among my favourites in gen 9. It looks silly and happy, the little arms that kinda don't make sense for an orthworm don't take away because it just makes it more silly, the german name is PEAK. You don't need to make a complicated design to make a good one. The shiny colour is weird, i don't like that one. Regular is better in this case.

Serious Score: 37/50

Silly Ratings!

Politeness: 8/10 It is very nice, it would definitely shake your hands upon meeting, and it would wait in line with you at the bank so you're not bored out of your mind. Points deduction for the one that tried to eat me for searching a plant.

Friend Shape: 9/10 Definitely friend shape. It's a noodle, it can wrap around you to keep your warm and snuggly, it's nice and big, but i assume the steel type makes it quite hard on the outside so not a perfect score here.

Jokes: 4/10 I think it tries but its jokes are just... not that great. I'm sorry Schlurm, your jokes just aren't that funny. You have other qualities.

Deliciousness: 3/10 Yeah... no. It's probably kinda muddy and earthy from eating all that earth, it's really tough to eat bc of that steel type and these blue hands don't quite look all that appetizing. You could eat for a week from it though, it's pretty big.

Lust for Murder: 5/10 I initially thought it's politeness would also mean it's pretty tame, but again. It tried to eat me bc i was looking for plants. Have you heard of deescalation Mx Orthworm? You could have just told me to leave. I also think you could convince some of them to rob a bank with you.

Silly Score: 29/50

Can it make a Lasagna? In short: yes. However, i doubt it'd be particularly good. Orthworm is able to utilize utensils with its many hands, but that empty head can not follow instructions. Maybe it's a bit scared of the oven bc of the heat, but i think you'd be able to encourage it. I would also not ask for any additional herbs and spices. Last time went kinda to the shits.

Total Score: 66/100 and a bad/bland lasagna. Schlurm/Orthworm is a funny little guy and deserves a spot in my top 100 Pokémon.

Sometimes I look up the foreign names for Pokemon for fun and I CANNOT stop thinking about

French Fidough is patachoit (pate a choux is a type of pastry/dough and choit is puppy)

German orthworm is schlurm (translation less cute it's just fun to say)

Another pokémon that belongs (well, will belong, xe hasn't caught her yet) to an OC :3 Linnea will probably name her Orthworm "Drum", short for Andromeda (our nearest galaxy), to match her Pachirisu Milk (Milky Way) and Yuppie (Jupiter). Drum loves playing hide and seek, though she's got a habit of accidentally startling people by popping up RIGHT in front of them.
