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.

► reblog to let your mutuals know that... YOUR RP BLOG IS NOT TIME-SENSITIVE!

...That there is NO time limit or expiration date on asks, memes or threads.

...That your partners NEVER need to feel they have to apologise for not responding to a thread or ask yet.

...That you welcome replies to "OLD" threads and memes, even if they've been sitting quietly untouched for weeks or months.

...That there is NEVER any pressure or obligation for your partners to reply until they feel the drive and enthusiasm to do so.

...That YOU will happily respond to things at YOUR OWN leisure, and you would like your partners to feel comfortable doing the same.

Not everybody enjoys running their blog this way and that's a-okay. But removing the idea that RP interactions are something that can "expire" or that the asks in your inbox have an unspoken "due-date", takes the pressure off of both your partners and yourself and can help bust feelings of stress/anxiety from the hobby. Reblog to let your partners know that you're just jazzed to receive new writing from them, whenever it comes.

Does anyone want or need several plates of cookies… and some bread… and cinnamon rolls…

Any time!! <3

Were you aware that you can give your Pokémon a little kissy? As a treat?

MWAH!!

Were you aware that you can give your Pokémon a little kissy? As a treat?

You’d think, but he’ll even go work odd jobs in the community to fund his own stuff…

What usually gets him to stop is when Teenie the Oddish’s leaves start to wilt from heat. So there’s that at least…

Teenie gets him to sun bathe outside now and again, which is nice. It’s cute how close they are. :)

Hello. Official appointment request! ^^

Chief the Chansey, with his little Oddish passenger (they are inseparable… we’ve tried) are the clients!

Background: Chief was a medic in the pokewars of yore and belonged to my grandpa. He’s in my care now as my grandpa isn’t able to care for him. He’s not distrustful of humans really, more so he sees them all as in his care and can’t seem to submit himself to their care. He’s been pretty isolated and is mourning my grandmother and the loss of company of my grandpa/ loss of caretaking for him since he is in my families care now.

Hope that’s enough background! Any additional info and scheduling can be tagged:

Breaking out of selfless habits in order to care for yourself or let others care for you can be tough, I've actually had that issue myself before when I get too into the zone. ^^"

Is there any specific habits that really stand out?

Oh you just made Chief’s whole day ^^ He’s going to be baking furiously all night. Pfft.

One of the things he said he likes a lot is baking and cooking, but it does still feel like he’s just working himself out to me. :/ still, if your partner likes his treats he’ll be exuberant!

I can’t imagine chief being phased, but I guess I don’t know. Maybe we can do a test drive? ^^

He will insist on bringing treats and tea.

What would you recommend to help him?

He’d be willing to do an in person appointment, I’m not sure how you feel bout those. I know you mentioned stigma and disliking it as such, so I’d suspect not.

It may be fiddly to try to do an electronic one but we can try!

I never really thought about that. Okay, will do. It would probably help him to speak with you alone at some point too. I think he fears making us sad, but he’s mourning hard. :(

I doubt my grandparents had the foresight for that, tbh. They were ‘learn from what I do’ types. My grandma and grandpa were both pretty darn selfless too, and they struggle with similar things tbh.

He tends to be isolated and repeat the same routine daily, including housekeeping and care tasks for … anyone? No one in particular? Making poultices and bandages and preparing cups for medication and the like.

We’ve been trying to encourage him and his little oddish pal to do other things- they both enjoyed gardening with my grandpa in the past, or fishing… but it’s really just the same caretaking routine every day.

He’s also reluctant to eat or drink much? He has a little chansey mobile he drives around with, but that’s about all he does for fun. Otherwise he just kind of sits on the couch and… waits.

I have an inquiry for you! There’s a buddy of mine, a chancy, who needs counseling. He (he/him, yes, unique lil guy) refuses to see a human counselor 🤔 I was wondering if you have room and / or someone good to refer to? :)

wtf how did you mistake that

I keep seeing a pokeball outside on the floor and thinking it's Captain. How did it get there?

⚙️

🐉

🪐

Doing this a lil out of order but!

🪐 Fave Ground type?

Palossand! This might surprise most people that know me- I mean, I hate sand. It’s rough, it’s course, it’s irritating and it gets everywhere! But hear me out-

ITS CUTE. And maybe it’ll pick up all the sand for me if I give it … sand … treats? I’ve never had a pokemon like it, so I have no idea.

🐉 Fave dragon type

Goomy and its entire line… SQUISHY CUTE BOIS. We have so many where we are and it’s always a delight to see them.

Gabite and its line is a close second cause of my sibling. And dreepy cause it’s cute!

⚙️ Fave steel type

Galarian Meowth… what a lil gremlin…

I have a soft spot for mawile and Aron too though. Mawile cause when I was edgy in middle and high school they were my favourite and I drew so many of them eating my least favourite classmates and teachers. Aron cause … cute lil guy. I watched one walk into two seperate walls in a video once and fell in love.

Thanks for asking!

A pelipper mail package. It's certainly rain-damaged, it seems like something went wrong during delivery.

Inside are two pots with... eggs? In them. Both are mostly buried within decently sized terracotta pots. They are remarkably undamaged. Seems as though they were packaged with care.

A Note is Attached. A lot of the text is illegible.

FR?M ??????

H??lo! I ????e? to tha?k yo? for t???ng in th?se eggs ??r m?. I -

The bottom chunk of the note is entirely illegible. There are more lines, but it seems they got soaked in the water. There is no information to be gleaned as to the origin or intended destination of these eggs.

Oh man… erm…

Was this meant for me?

Pippi, hang on, don’t take them inside just yet, we should-

Wow, cold shoulder by my own partner pokemon. She sure was in a rush to get them inside…

*Shuts the door.* Welp. Better see if I can call the post office and see what’s going on.

And ask @newcomer-karp if they recognize any of this. Maybe it’s theirs…?

Sibliiiing, did you order a… really tall skinny egg with a leaf and a really thick chonky egg with a leaf?
