Yeah. Unless this is a highly different variant (because Lugia was the only Pokemon to have a physical alteration. Others just had a shadowy aura, even then that was only visible to the chick in Colosseum and people using an Aura Reader) I wasn't one for the whole "high friendship negates it" thing. Friendship doesn't really mean a thing if the door to your heart is closed. But, it is what it is, I guess.
*Is actually super happy someone agreed with me on this.*
Anyways, I'm gonna have Angel's Pokemon obey, but they're acting similar to Toast. Poseidon might be a bit more obedient. And Rikki will definitely be a bit rebellious, and he's going to be brutal af now. His moveset (until purified) is now Shadow Rush (actually the move Shadow Zangoose used), Crush Claw, Poison Jab, and Close Combat.
Also, I'm cool with the swearing. I have a dark sense of humor too (that 2$ prostitute post cracked me up), so you'll find no complaints from me.
