@sSoul yer boi is done XD
@sSoul yer boi is done XD
Name: Cole Forrest
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Age: 21
D.O.B.: January 2
Birth Place/Hometown: Turffield, Galar
Trainer Class: Pokémon Trainer (WCS Ranking: 75,432)
Physical Appearance: Cole has near soulless, grey eyes that seem to spark with an uncomfortable, eerie light when he’s found an interest in something or someone. He has short, fluffy, black hair that frames his face. He’s got a skinny frame, but it’s lined with lean muscle with surprising strength to back it up due to having lived on a farm. He’s 5’08” (172.7 cm), with a lean 140 lbs (63.5 kg). He doesn’t really stand out too much, until he starts speaking.
Clothing: He usually wears a simple t-shirt, sweater, or casual dress shirt untucked with a loose tie, his shirts being dark colors and his tie almost always being a dark red unless otherwise noted. He wears black jeans, sometimes with rips. He wears black shoes that are either sneakers or loafers. He sometimes has a black hoodie or button-up jacket he leaves open. He wears a belt that’s more for utility and fashion once pulled off his pants than for keeping his pants up, as he had his PokeBalls in a circular holster clipped to his belt loops. He has a black backpack, filled with his survival equipment and medicine. He also has a notepad clipped to his circular holster within a small compartment, where he writes down ideas for which moves to go for, what Pokémon with which abilities to go for, where to find them, keeping track of his money and items, what he should do next, as well as short term goals to reach.
Personality/Inner Machinations:
Backstory: A very calm life. A very boring life. Work on the farm, go to school, learn about business and farming, learn about sponsorships and caring for Pokémon, learn about medicine and wound care, learn how to fight and self defense, learn how to train Pokemon, go back home, do more chores, shear the Wooloo when it gets too warm, go to bed. Rinse and repeat.
It was annoying. It wasn’t the life he wanted for himself.
His parents thought it was good enough. The only thing they weren’t lackadaisical on were preparing him for his future. No, their future he wanted them to have. Was that all people wanted? How boring. But also, how disrespectful to the future he could have if he did it himself. What about all that work? Was it all for nothing?
Cole’s life never left Turffield until he signed up to be something. When he signed up to be a part of WCS and compete in the Galar league, his parents were disappointed. Why did he want to leave?
Honestly, in Cole’s mind, they should have just gotten another kid.
Going to school had opened his mind to what potential he had, but also who he was. Getting bullied was - to him - probably the best thing that happened to him, and he didn’t know why. Strange, as getting bullied shouldn’t be anything but horrendous, but as soon as he turned his bully into a piddling mess by bullying him back, and then going after others just to take out his frustrations from the road he was supposed to tread… It felt wonderful. Freeing. It was like going to greener pastures after being behind his parents’ tractor that cleared the weeds and plants to a place filled with yet even more farmland.
But now, he could do something about himself.
His father, not wanting to be on bad terms with Cole, gifted him a Totodile he had found in Alola, along with the Grookey he received from having started out his journey. Of course, the Grookey was chosen by his parents. As if he needed a reminder of home.
He traveled south to Route 3 first, gathering as many Pokémon as he could, because he had a plan. A plan he won’t let anyone else hamper on his journey. A plan that will guarantee a rise through the ranks.
Update 1.1: 1st Gym Update - Grookey, Totodile, and Rookidee evolved; Thwackey, Croconaw, Corvisquire, Galarian Meowth, Trubbish, and Stufful learned new moves.

Personality/Inner Machinations:
- Control Freak, Manipulative, Exploitative
- Cole is more comfortable being in control, so he almost always comes prepared. He doesn’t like it when others take charge unless he’s expressly okay with it or if what they are doing will help him. He will be passive, passive aggressive, or aggressive and assertive to get what he wants, even if he has to be an asshole to get it, but he understands honey attracts more than vinegar. This shows up in his fighting, as he tries to be the first one to control the battlefield with strategy and keep the flow of battle away from his opponent. He doesn’t mind losing though (as losing equates to him not having control over himself), even to those he dislikes or when it's not in his design to lose. He’ll respect and/or admire whoever bested him, and it would just fuel his desire to be stronger. It also allows those who beat him to underestimate him while he can counter their entire team. Strangely, he’s also a clean freak and is disgusted by disorganization and filth, as disorganization and filth means they have lost control of their environment and their impulses.
- This “control freak” side of him was caused by a complex he obtained when he was younger from a lack of control in his life. His parents were mostly in control of what he did, even going so far as to pave a future for him he didn’t want. While they had good intentions and he understood that, Cole thought they never understood what he really wanted and it frustrated him that even after telling them, they thought what they had given him was better than his dream. The only thing he’s followed his parents on were being clean, organized, and present well to others.
- If there is anything he can get from someone, he’s going to manipulate to get it, whether that be using “pity-me” language or acting “nice” to get what he wants. This is reflected in how he fights.
- Because his parents were a bit more on the controlling side, he’s figured out how to passively get things from people or use language to denote submission as it’s given him what he wanted. He chose his fights carefully, and acted nice to get what he wanted because he knew he otherwise wouldn’t get what he wanted if he was being a brat about it. Time and place.
- Very unfair, he doesn’t mind exploiting people’s weaknesses or situations to make them feel lesser and to give himself a stepping stone. This is reflected in how he fights.
- Because he felt like he was late in his journey, rebelling against his parents’ wishes, and having been given no direct moral direction for years that wasn’t his future “succession of the family farm”, Cole has developed a need to use others. Why not? His parents used him as a way to ease their anxieties about their business onto him without his consent, he was going to do the same to others. Not to make others feel his pain, he doesn’t care if others don’t understand him. He just wants to spread misery and pain as it’s cathartic.

Strangely, he’s also a clean freak and is disgusted by disorganization and filth, as disorganization and filth means they have lost control of their environment and their impulses.
- Detail-oriented, Cynical, and Opportunistic Narrator
- Weaknesses and details to exploit others pop out at Cole more often than other things. Like, how skilled are their Pokémon, how “in-the-know” are they about battling, do they have a limp, can he trick them into doing something with the promise of helping them get to their dream, etc?
- This comes from how his parents always tell him what he’s lacking. Not in a bad way, but it always bugged Cole that he wasn’t ‘enough’. But, along with his rebelling of his parents, being bullied, and not being given a moral compass nor really wanting one since he’s been bullied, Cole understands not everyone is perfect and even a person’s greatest strengths could be used against them.
- Because of his growing disdain about how his parents treated him, it also began to bleed into how they viewed the world. They were so happywith the world, when Cole has seen other places rife with crime and other societal issues that he has grown jaded.
- Cole hates it when others get something good but don’t see its potential, as that was how he was treated by his parents. Anytime anyone sees any good in something, he has to scrutinize it because he was barely given any compliments that weren’t also shaded with a ‘do better’ attitude. However, he understands the existence of having high standards - one of the only things he agrees with his parents on. Because belittling was how he was raised, he’ll also belittle others. Being bullied also didn’t help and it caused him to bully others, thus giving him a higher-than-thou attitude for a while.
- He will use others, even if he considers them a friend.
- This mindset comes from his parents’ treatment of using him as a stepping stone for their business to continually prosper. Friendship is skewed in his mindset. It is more of a business relationship, and any niceties people or Pokémon may receive would be from a job well done or to get in nice with them to appease them.
- Weaknesses and details to exploit others pop out at Cole more often than other things. Like, how skilled are their Pokémon, how “in-the-know” are they about battling, do they have a limp, can he trick them into doing something with the promise of helping them get to their dream, etc?
- Power and Strategy Elitist
- He sees being strong and strategic as practically ascension. You are the best of the best if you can tussle with the strongest in the world. Because power has always been important from how rarely he’s had it in his life prior to his journey and strategy was the only thing he’s ever curated in his childhood because of his restrictions, he’s also learned self defense to protect himself - not only to handle bullies but those who are protecting themselves from being bullied. He never throws the first punch, but always throws the first insults.
- He finds perverse joy in ruining the mood of others. It gives him a sense of control and power over them, and being bullied and bullying others has opened his eyes to such. He does get a bit frustrated if people don’t budge from it, but he also gives them some level of reluctant respect for not falling for his words.
- Because of his idea on being strategic and powerful, if people don’t focus on these, they are a waste of his time and they shouldn’t even be breathing in his space. He will do just about anything to crush their dreams to prevent them from moving on and - in an unsanctioned battle - will have his Pokémon aggressively attack theirs to cripple them for life. He’d never kill a Pokémon, but he’s not going to complain if it happens either.
- His dreams to go on a journey were crushed when his parents didn’t give him a Pokémon like he wanted when he was ten. He felt like he had no place in the world, and for that, he felt useless. If they had fostered his want to become strong, he wouldn’t be an aggressive, sadistic elitist.
- He sees being strong and strategic as practically ascension. You are the best of the best if you can tussle with the strongest in the world. Because power has always been important from how rarely he’s had it in his life prior to his journey and strategy was the only thing he’s ever curated in his childhood because of his restrictions, he’s also learned self defense to protect himself - not only to handle bullies but those who are protecting themselves from being bullied. He never throws the first punch, but always throws the first insults.
- Abusive and Obsessive
- He obsesses over power, and anything and anybody who could or does wield it. This means he obsesses over champions, elite four members, and really strong Pokémon. But he also obsesses over being clever, because strength alone can’t get you anywhere. For this, he’s been obsessed over Wallace the longest. He unironically has a little shrine dedicated to him. If anyone were to get into a romantic relationship with him, he will become so obsessive that his controlling behavior bleeds over and he becomes abusive, mainly from fear of losing them exacerbating his issues.
- This stems from feeling like he’s going to lose control of his life and lose the chase for his dream if he doesn’t have a harsh grasp on what he has now. If he loses something or a Pokémon, it’s going to be a huge blow to his growing ego and that would just make him grip what he has left even harder.
- Because of his upbringing and how others treated him (as well as finding joy in hurting others), he finds “fun” in being verbally abusive. A mean joke isn’t too far for him and actually tickles his funny bone. If someone were to tell a mean joke to him, he’d actually respect their willingness to state their mind, even if it goes against societal etiquette. However, because of his power obsessive tendencies, this abuse can extend to his Pokémon. He won’t physically beat them, but he will belittle them and scare them with the cracking sounds of a whip, as well as make them all fight each other in a free-for-all to determine who the better Pokémon is to become the ace for that period of time. If they can’t bounce back or fail to hold the title of ace, then that is their fault for being too weak to grow from it and he’ll lower their rations and not heal their wounds, release them himself, or let them run off, even if the latter hurts.
- This just stems from his love to hurt because it feels good to have this control over the pain of another. It’s cathartic to him and he feels strong, especially if he managed to beat down someone who was as strong as him.

Update 1.1: 1st Gym Update - Grookey, Totodile, and Rookidee evolved; Thwackey, Croconaw, Corvisquire, Galarian Meowth, Trubbish, and Stufful learned new moves.
Ace (for now): Corvisquire
Battle-Ready: Thwackey, Croconaw, Galarian Meowth, Corvisquire
Useless: Magikarp, Trubbish, Pancham, Stufful
Battle-Ready: Thwackey, Croconaw, Galarian Meowth, Corvisquire
Useless: Magikarp, Trubbish, Pancham, Stufful
Species/Type: Thwackey - Grass (Due to this typing, is immune to Leech Seed, Effect Spore, and powder and spore moves)
Nickname: Thwackey
Gender: Male
Ability: Overgrow - When exhausted or severely injured, raises the power of Grass-Type moves by 50%.
Appearance: Average height and weight. Has a scar down his back. Average Thwackey.
Nature/Personality: Brave | Thwackey doesn’t like to back down from a challenge, for fear of being seen as useless. He will brave the fiercest enemies, just to prove a point. Because of this stubbornness, he’s also slower than most Thwackey, as his inability to back down roots him in spot most times. He used to be a rather playful Grookey, but that has since changed once he became a more battle-ready member of Cole’s team.
History: The former Grookey was bred and trained to be a trainer’s first Pokémon. When he was given to Cole, he couldn’t even imagine how painful his time would be. While he should contemplate on leaving, Cole manages to win him over every single time. He’s already gone through quite a bit of belittling, but believes it’s natural to become the strongest Pokémon there ever was, right? It couldn’t get any more worse, could it?

Moves:
- Razor Leaf* - Grass | Physical | Has an increased critical hit ratio. Targets all adjacent foes.
- Taunt* - Dark | Status | Forces Pokémon to not use status moves for three posts. Can bypass a Substitute, can be reflected by Magic Coat, and doesn’t affect Pokémon with Oblivious or affected by Aroma Veil.
- Fake Out* - Normal | Physical | Has a +3 priority, and makes the target Flinch. Can only be usable at the start of a battle or being switched in.
- Hammer Arm* - Fighting | Physical | Lowers the user’s Speed.
- Grass Pledge* - Grass | Special | Doubles in power when used alongside Water Pledge or causes Fire Pledge to double in power. When combined with Water Pledge, it creates a swamp for four posts, quartering the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field. When combined with Fire Pledge, it creates a sea of fire that gradually damages all non-Fire-Types for four posts.
- Knock Off* - Dark | Physical | Knocks the item out of the target’s grasp, unless it has Suction Cups, or if they are special items.
- Double Hit* - Normal | Physical/Status | Either hits the target twice consecutively, or allows the next attack to hit twice consecutively.
- Screech* - Normal | Status | Lowers the target’s Defense by 2.

Species/Type: Croconaw - Water
Nickname: Croconaw
Gender: Female
Ability: Sheer Force - Raises the base power of all damaging moves that have any additional effects by about 30%, but these additional effects are ignored (moves like Ancient Power, Bite, Blizzard, Crunch, Dynamic Punch, Focus Blast, Headbutt, Ice Beam, Ice Fang, Ice Punch, Icy Wind, Iron Tail, Liquidation, Metal Claw, Mud-Slap, Power-Up Punch, Rock Slide, Rock Smash, Rock Tomb, Scald, Secret Power, Snore, Water Pulse, and Waterfall).
Appearance: Average height. Has a scar down her right eye, and she’s got slightly greater muscle mass, making her slightly heavier (60 lbs, 27.2 kg). Regular Croconaw
Nature/Personality: Naughty | Despite her proclivities to pull pranks or act silly, this has been died down in favor of doing so in the midst of combat. She loves fighting, but wonders why her trainer isn’t feeding her enough right before a fight. Still, it just makes the fight that much more interesting. Not wanting to disappoint her trainer or be given anymore insults, she will do her best to leave a good impression, even if it ends with her fainting and getting insulted again. She has since put her prank-pulling on other members of the team, making Cole get angry with them instead of her. She has a bit of an ego and thinks she can do no wrong until she gets into trouble, but she immediately moves on by working even harder.
History: Having been caught by a seemingly nice man in Alola, the former Totodile thought she was going to have fun with the new trainer she was being given to. However, she soon realized he was more for getting them as strong as they could. Taking his insults and any failings as fuel, she didn’t take to the red flags and continued to prove to him she was capable. However, she has lost her rights as an ace recently.

Species/Type: Galarian Meowth - Steel (Due to this typing, is immune to Sandstorm damage, and being Poisoned except from a Pokémon with Corrosion)
Nickname: Meowth
Gender: Male
Ability: Unnerve - Unnerves the opponent to prevent them from eating their own held berries. Doesn’t stop the use of Natural Gift, and can’t prevent when Teatime is used. Causes wild Pokémon to call for help more often.
Appearance: Average height and weight. The black coin on Meowth's head has a deep, jagged scar running down it. Meowth’s eyes look more unnerving to stare at.
Nature/Personality: Adamant | Very stubborn, Meowth won’t back down, even if he’s terrified. He wants to be the strongest Meowth and eventually evolve into a Perrserker. He hates being compared to other Meowth for their pretty looks and limber body, so he focuses on battling. However, he is quite gullible.
History: Hanging out on Route 3, this Meowth was minding his business until Cole came and found him specifically. He proved to be a difficult catch as he was stronger than the other Meowth in the area, but Cole managed to catch him. Despite the battling attitude and proclivity he’s shown, he didn’t compare to some of Cole’s other members after being caught, and he has a rivalry with Totodile due to her pranking.

Species/Type: Magikarp - Water
Nickname: Magikarp
Gender: Female
Ability: Rattled - When hit by a Bug-, Dark-, or Ghost-Type move, or when affected by Intimidate, its Speed raises.
Appearance: Average height and weight. Some of its fish scales are chipped.
Nature/Personality: Jolly | Being a happy fish as can be, this Magikarp hasn’t suited well to being in Cole’s team. She tries to be optimistic and has recently shown progress in her training, but she’s afraid it’s not enough. Due to Cole’s attitude towards her, she’s grown insecure about her abilities and if she’ll even be enough as a Gyarados. Still, she tries to be happy, despite it all. She swims and moves quickly, especially when terrified. She equates Cole as a Dark-Type.
History: Being sought out by Cole specifically, she tried running away from him, and her increased speed (especially when hit by a Dark-Type move from his Rookidee) caused her to be caught by him, knowing that Rattled will turn into Moxie. However, her potential as a Gyarados was the only thing Cole seemed to be interested in and her own slowness to be battle-ready (something she hasn’t even achieved yet) has made Cole wonder if he should even keep her.

Nature/Personality: Jolly | Being a happy fish as can be, this Magikarp hasn’t suited well to being in Cole’s team. She tries to be optimistic and has recently shown progress in her training, but she’s afraid it’s not enough. Due to Cole’s attitude towards her, she’s grown insecure about her abilities and if she’ll even be enough as a Gyarados. Still, she tries to be happy, despite it all. She swims and moves quickly, especially when terrified. She equates Cole as a Dark-Type.
History: Being sought out by Cole specifically, she tried running away from him, and her increased speed (especially when hit by a Dark-Type move from his Rookidee) caused her to be caught by him, knowing that Rattled will turn into Moxie. However, her potential as a Gyarados was the only thing Cole seemed to be interested in and her own slowness to be battle-ready (something she hasn’t even achieved yet) has made Cole wonder if he should even keep her.
Moves:
- Splash* - Normal | Status | Hops.
- Tackle* - Normal | Physical | Does damage.
- Flail* - Normal | Physical | The lower the stamina, the higher the power.
- Bounce* - Flying | Physical | Bounces up high in one post, then comes slamming down in the next post. Can’t be used when affected by Gravity. Has a chance to Paralyze. Can be hit by Gust (double the damage), Twister (double the damage), Thunder, Sky Uppercut, Hurricane, Smack Down, and Thousand Arrows or by a Pokémon with No Guard. May be disrupted from Smack Down and Thousand Arrows.
Species/Type: Corvisquire - Flying (Due to this typing, isn’t grounded so cannot be affected by Sticky Web, Spikes, or Toxic Spikes; terrain and Rototiller; or Arena Trap, unless holding an Iron Ball or affected by Ingrain, Gravity, Smack Down or Thousand Arrows)
Nickname: Corvisquire
Gender: Female
Ability: Big Pecks - Prevents the loss of Defense during battle. Doesn’t prevent this Pokémon from lowering its own Defense, and doesn’t stop effects that decrease Defense without using stat stages (Guard Swap, Heart Swap, Guard Split). Can be ignored by Mold Breaker.
Appearance: Average height and weight. Some feathers are stained from a dark liquid that has refused to be cleaned off. Has larger feather density, especially around her chest. Average Corvisquire.
Nature/Personality: Relaxed | Being rather carefree, this bird doesn’t let anything bother her, however because of her carefree nature, she isn’t as fast as other Corvisquire. After what Cole would call a “training accident”, Cole had to nurse the former Rookidee back to health. Since then, she’s been wary of Cole, as it was Cole’s fault for losing his temper for a moment and being a bit too harsh with his handling that caused the injuries to her chest that stained her feathers.
History: Being caught on Route 3, Cole sought her out specifically. He had been hunting for Rookidee that weren’t affected by his Totodile’s Leer, and he finally found her. He caught her, but was a bit disappointed in that she wasn’t as agile as the other Rookidee. Still, training her proved promising, but during a training session, her lackadaisical nature had caused Cole to see his parents in the bird and he lashed out, slicing her with his swiss army knife. Stunned at what he did and not really liking the fact that he did that to a promising Pokémon, he tried nursing her back to health, even though he threatened that if she didn’t get stronger after this he’d release her. After trying to scrub her feathers clean of his mistake to no avail had him just giving up and leaving it there. Seeing as she didn’t want to be treated as lesser for not being as strong when she’s fully capable of doing so, she used her cunning nature along with her bulky body to become ace recently, taking it from Totodile.

Moves:
- Pluck* - Flying | Physical | Steals and eats the user’s berry, unless the target has Sticky Hold. Can still eat the berry and steal its effects during Embargo.
- Rock Smash* - Fighting | Physical | Has a half chance to lower the target’s Defense. Can also smash rocks.
- Hone Claws* - Dark | Status | Raises user’s Attack and Accuracy.
- Power Trip* - Dark | Physical | With each increase in stat stage, the stronger the attack becomes.
- Leer* - Normal | Status | Lowers target’s Defense.
- Taunt* - Dark | Status | Taunts the opponent and only makes them use attacking moves.
- Tailwind* - Flying | Status | Doubles Speed of user and allies for four posts.
- Roost* - Flying | Status | Restores half the user’s stamina and stops being a Flying-Type for that post and its reaction. With a pure Flying-Type, it becomes a Normal-Type. It will also be affected by grounded moves and effects until it is ungrounded.

Species/Type: Trubbish - Poison (Due to this typing, cannot be Poisoned unless by a Pokémon with Corrosion, and can remove Toxic Spikes from their side of the field when switching in and when not grounded.)
Nickname: Trubbish
Gender: Male
Ability: Aftermath - When knocked out by a move that makes contact, the attacking Pokémon takes damage equal to a quarter of their stamina by exploding. Doesn’t activate with Damp on the field.
Appearance: Average height and weight. There are some pulled scrape marks on the bag part of this Pokémon.
Nature/Personality: Impish | Mischievous, this Trubbish has shown an interesting cunning ability in battle, but his personality has been stunted severely after being Cole’s Pokémon when not in battle. He’s always stressed and scared, unsure of if he should run or ride this nightmare out. He shows more of his true colors to others who aren’t Cole, but immediately clams up and becomes quiet and obedient when Cole is nearby.
History: Being sought out by Cole, the Trubbish actually pranked the trainer, who was more than irate with him. When Cole finally caught the Trubbish, he belittled and had his Pokémon attack the Trubbish even more as punishment for nearly destroying one of his items in a “harmless” prank. The Trubbish has tried to gain Cole’s favor in battling, but Cole’s thinking of releasing him because the Trubbish hasn’t shown anything promising that wasn’t his ability.

Moves:
- Toxic Spikes* - Poison | Status | Sets a grounded entry hazard on the target’s side of the field. One layer makes Pokémon Poisoned. Two layers makes Pokémon Badly Poisoned. Grounded Poison-Type Pokémon can nullify and get rid of Toxic Spikes, as well as Rapid Spin and Defog.

Species/Type: Pancham - Fighting
Nickname: Pancham
Gender: Female
Ability: Scrappy - Allows this Pokémon to damage Ghost-Types with Normal- and Fighting-Type moves, except for Shedinja. Immune to the effects of Intimidate.
Appearance: Average height and weight. Some of her fur is matted.
Nature/Personality: Lonely | Afraid of being abandoned, this Pancham has grown stronger in the hopes that she won’t lose out on being on a Pokémon team. Even though this team isn’t ideal for her, she’d much rather choose to stay. Ingenious yet stubborn, she tries to fight through the pain and see her plans through.
History: This Pancham followed Cole around extensively when he began looking for a Pancham with Scrappy. He ended up finding her as she tried battling him. Having no Ghost-Types yet, Cole would just capture her, but her battle against his Grookey - who wasn’t even the greatest - gave Cole a disappointing idea of her. He left her after beating her, but she stubbornly went back to him the next day, but was beaten so badly that she couldn’t get up until the next day. The next day, she came back to Cole, showing she did learn from her past mistakes. He ended up capturing her, but she has yet to show this diligence in training with him, and he’s beginning to wonder if he should get rid of her, much to her dismay.

Moves:
- Low Sweep* - Fighting | Physical | Lowers the target’s Speed.
- Circle Throw* - Fighting | Physical | Lowered priority (-6), forces the opponent’s Pokémon to switch, either ending a fight or forcing the Pokémon to switch out with another. Will fail to switch out if the user faints from an item or ability, if the target has Suction Cups, under the effects of Ingrain, or has Substitute set up.
- Taunt* - Dark | Status | Forces Pokémon to not use status moves for three posts. Can bypass a Substitute, can be reflected by Magic Coat, and doesn’t affect Pokémon with Oblivious or affected by Aroma Veil.
- Arm Thrust* - Fighting | Physical | Hits the target 2-5 times.

Species/Type: Stufful - Normal/Fighting
Nickname: Stufful
Gender: Female
Ability: Fluffy - Takes half damage from moves that make contact (except from moves affected by Long Reach), but takes double damage from Fire-Type moves that don’t make contact (Fire-Type moves that make contact will deal regular damage).
Appearance: Average height and weight. There’s a few chips in her ears, and her fur is denser and fluffier than normal, which also makes her overheat more often.
Nature/Personality: Sassy | Very independent and unwilling to back down, Stufful takes life at her own pace, much to Cole’s annoyance. She does take training seriously, but only does so to the minimal degree that wouldn’t get her released. Cole’s own attitude towards her has her spitting back nonsense to him, to which she found surprising when Cole actually respected her for it. Taking that in stride, she thinks she can do no wrong, despite being belittled by Cole the most.
History: Cole was looking for another bulky Pokémon and found Stufful. He figured this one had Fluffy, so he caught her, especially after realizing that boosted moves from Totodile were barely doing anything to her. However, her attitude is grating and he’s very tempted to get rid of her if she didn’t do at least decently in training.

Locations of interest:
Isle of Armor - Heard of a Zorua, Snivy, Venipede, Salazzle, and Rockruff were here.
Crown Tundra - Heard Gible and Froslass were here.
Alola - Heard Zubat, Kabuto, and Banette were here. Will also look into Z-Crystals.
Paldea - Heard Wattrel, Varoom, and Glimmet were here. Will also look into Terastalization.
Goals:
Evolve Magikarp(?)
- It has proven futile that this Magikarp’s potential is anything more than garbage, and it doesn’t hold a promising hope that it will be a good Gyarados. I might have to release it soon if it doesn’t prove as formidable as Totodile at some point.
Evolve Grookey, Totodile, Rookidee soon
- These three have proven to be great battlers, and it’s showing. They’re getting closer and closer to evolution, I can feel and see it. They are starting to take incorporations of their next evolution into their base form until the ultimate point of evolution. Hopefully, they evolve soon.
Find potential in Stufful, Pancham, and Trubbish.
- These three I caught before the Galarian Meowth, yet the newest addition in the cat has been showing far more promise far more quickly than these three. I got these two Fighting-Types to combat Nessa’s Gigantamax Drednaw. Will need a replacement soon if these two don’t work. Trubbish seems too timid to handle the training regimen. Will need to replace it soon.
