Sorry… who is Koko? I’m not too erm… knowledgeable about Ultra Beasts, Mr B. Nor are most people I’d assume? Or maybe I’m particularly sheltered…

But that’s a thing- what usually drives fear is ignorance, and what usually drives discrimination is…well, my classes say it boils down to a conflict of resources, but I think it’s meant to be a broad phrasing.

I know I’d love to learn more about your experiences, and I’m sure others will too.

I know I’m only a student, and maybe it isn’t my place- but make sure you’ve got a good support system around you while you navigate this, yeah? I’m sure you’d want the same for your clients.

Good morning, Rotomblr!

Felt a little stressed so I put on some calming music and read through my notes for the past week!

I feel calmer now!

How is everyone else's mornings going? Or day in general if it's later for you?

[WRONG MAIL ASK GAME!]

[Reblog this and I’ll send you some wrong Pelipper mail! Something a little random and not exactly meant for you.

BIG FUCKER

Egg I totally didn't forget to post yesterday or anything

Its pretty large for a tynamo egg. Wonder if its twins.

watching documentaries about golbat and it's so funny to me that they can drink too much blood to fly after. they straight up look like this

Oh my god… they’re CUTE!

Big coral like creature … I wonder if they’d want to be friends………….

Pokerating Day 17, Stakatakakatatakatakatakakataka

Charm: Honestly, while being a cool looking mon (gonna refer to the ultra beasts as pokemon for simplicity), it's also strangely cute when you realize its like... 100+ organisms in a trenchcoat. Each "brick" of the stakataka, sometimes jokingly called "taka" as I will be referring to them, is it's own organism. It's kind of like a coral when you really think about it. 10/10

Care: So, this is one of the least understood ultra beasts. We do not have documentation of it's ultra-space dimension. Anything here will be speculative, so ignore this rating if you only want cold hard facts. Stakataka is most reminiscent of a coral, as it is a colony of individual stone-shelled creatures. We can assume that each taka (brick) has a separate internal biology, so it would have to eat separately. This usually lends best to filter-feeding, buuuut stakataka has no real prey that it COULD filterfeed that we know of. It is likely, at least partially, carnivorous, as most similar creatures are, and I would theorize that they hunt other rock-types via ambush. This is an incredibly slow organism so it is NOT an active hunter. I would guess that one or two taka take watch while the others pretend to be a brick wall, and then they send a signal to ambush when something gets close. Overall I have to do a ?/10 though, since this is all speculative. A stakataka is also FUCKING MASSIVE. You're gonna need like several acres of land for it and LOTS of prey.

Safety: One taka is probably harmless but a full stakataka? No. 0/10

Utility: Field move data on these pokemon are... limited, to say the least. Both due to their discovery in Alola, a region that doesn't use field moves, and due to being exceedingly rare, we have no confirmation on what "HM" moves they could use. I would *guess* that it could learn cut, rock smash, strength, and MAYBE rock climb. Despite that, this fella(s) is (are?) essentially a mobile brick wall. You could easily set up a tarp over one and be safe if it likes you. ?/10 though regardless sadly.

Battle Potential: Damned by its type. Just like the many rock/steel types before it. I already went over this type not to long ago, but to simplify, double weak to fighting and ground, two of the most common offensive types, is damning. It's still alright, and if it can get going, setting up an iron defense or something so it can bodypress harder or setting trickroom, it can certianly put in work, but when other more common mons exist it's hard to justify. 4/10, I think it could do better in the future if a move or ability that makes trick room better is found, but right now it's just impressively slow.

Final Ratings:

Charm: 10/10

Care: Data Insufficient

Safety: 0/10

Utility: Data Insufficient

Battle Potential: 4/10

Final Notes:

Those totally legally obtained documents I got access to helped on this one but even those can only do so much. I love calling the little bricks "taka", in fact, if we said taka for each taka in a stakataka it'd look like staka....

That almost looks like one with the T's I accidentally capitalized. Anyways its rumored to be roughly 150 takas per staka.

@realpokemon

Hey. Laser mentioned you're looking to be a therapist, said we might get along since I'm a pokemon psychologist.

Figured since I'm running the blog today, I might as well say hey. Hope your studies are going well.

@licensed2faint (//laser is letting the BF run the blog today)

Oh hi!

I was curious about you! Nice to meet you!

Do you have any idea where pokemon therapy and human therapy diverge? I’ve been curious about this since in most of my classes it’s emphasized how interconnected and similar they can be…

Hope to talk to you more!

Have you ever helped a client navigate discrimination? Or a friend? It’s a tricky subject, I know.

Frankly, however, the only balm for ignorance is knowledge. Maybe you can turn that around- you might have a slow down for a while, yes. But maybe…

There’s always hope. Maybe you need a PR team? Haha.

Absolute worse to worse- you hid in anonymity once already.

Good morning, Rotomblr!

How is everyone else's mornings going? Or day in general if it's later for you?

Pippi basically said it’s just cold asf here and eggs gonna take longer.

She seems content just watering the two random egg plants??? I got ??

Y'know, I'm starting to be a little worried about the egg. Pippi and Chief are reassuring me that all is fine but it was supposed to hatch like... well, a while ago. Vital signs on the incubator panel are still normal, and I guess the chanseys would know best.

I've been carrying it with me constantly, and the incubator manages the temp, humidity, etc. so it should be fine, but idk.

Maybe the lil guy just doesn't wanna hatch yet.

Pips doesn’t do that. x)

Woke up to Pi having the zoomies. Apparently she just likes going hogwild at night sometimes.

Specifically she fell off of a shelf in my room, knocking dozens of other things down. She's fine, I had Pippi check her.

She also got into the screwdrivers again and took a clock apart. I forgot to post last time she did this but she keeps using our tools for strange means. We didn't care much for the clock so it's fine but like bbgrl please ur like 2 at most. Ur supposed to be making nonsense with legos and eating rocks. Thats what I did when I was like 2.

Actually we haven't gotten her age checked yet we should do that.

And I should get her some legos actually
