I would like to give a shout-out to Jackii for designing the amazing trade thread banner above for me as a commission.
Please check out Jackii's art on Smogon, DeviantArt, Twitter, and Instagram.​

Preamble & Personal Introduction:

I offer my best greetings. I am Christophe, and I managed to make a name for myself as ❝Maximum Optimizer❞ (❝Max. Optimizer❞) on the Pokéweb.
I have been playing Poketto Monsutā for over two decades, ever since the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue games were released in Europe in 1999.
My ❝career❞, however, commenced in 2016, when I grew into a committed contributor and eventually a moderator of the Smogon Wi-Fi sub-forum.
Feel free to check the ❝About❞ section of my Smogon profile if you wish to take a look at a more in-depth list of my contributions to the community.
In this trade thread, I welcome the opportunity to exhibit my nonpareil répertoire of one-of-a-kind trouser pouch monstrosities that I began in 2016.
My répertoire is at present composed of 364 Pokémon, 158 of which were obtained by yours truly, as well as 206 of which were obtained via trading.
My répertoire of supplementary Pokémon, such as Synchronizers and flawless Ditto, are not featured in this thread. They can be found here instead.
Yet words spoken, written, or signed are not in themselves sufficient to capture the nostalgia and personal memories I have lived with this franchise.
In this thread, I commemorate the best moments I spent with a franchise that has accompanied me during 24 of my current 31 years of being alive.
In this thread, I also commemorate the friendships I have established via trading with the many people I had the pleasure to meet in the community.
For me, personally, exchanging Pokémon has always been more than just exchanging mere pixels; it also allows you to exchange pieces of your soul.
This is why I do not only show my own Pokémon, but also the meaningful projects that my friends entrusted me with and that I will treasure forever.
Over the course of time, I have au fait worked out the necessary savoir-faire, presently allowing me to acquire most of the Pokémon I desire myself.
This is why this thread's raison d'être has developed peu à peu over time and why it has mainly become a showcase thread, in lieu of a trade thread.
Per contra, if you are convinced that you can submit me an attractive offer you think I cannot reject, please do not feel disheartened to ask anyway.
I am typically open for negotiations and there is also always a notable chance that I will let you have the Pokémon that you want for absolutely free.
I use RNG Abuse/RNG Manipulation in order to strive for flawless Pokémon and, in the same spirit, I tend to exclusively trade for flawless Pokémon.
I have for example inter alia a noteworthy predilection for nicknamed Pokémon, as well as for Pokémon that have unique backstories and movesets.
I was heavily influenced by Sephirona, the longstanding user who started this fun and enriching part of our culture. She deserves all the credit for it.
Hence, I also take pleasure in giving every single one of my Pokémon an individual nickname, in order to give each one of them a unique character.
As a polyglot speaking 6 languages, I enjoy experimenting with meaningful nicknames from foreign cultures that match the theme of the Pokémon.
My manifold répertoire of multitudinous Japanese trouser pouch monstrosities is hence supposed to reflect the multifarious facets of the real world.
Furthermore, I draw a lot of inspiration for the nicknames from both classic and contemporary literature, cinematography, music, and video games.
Please find under the entry of every single Pokémon a succinct aperçu, explaining the meanings in addition to the references behind the nicknames.
All of my virtual pets have a sui generis name. This means that I do not use the same name twice, be it for my Pokémon or my Flight Rising dragons.
The finishing touch always consists of decorating the laureate Pokémon with the maximum amount of available ribbons in every single generation.
These Pokémon, typically referred to as ❝Ribbon Masters™❞, have attained a valuable prestige among collectors, connoisseurs, and completionists.
This allows me, ever since Generation 8, to confer a title to my ❝Ribbon Masters™❞, so that they have a tagline when I send them out into a battle.
You can find mine, as well as the ones from other collectors, connoisseurs, and completionists in the /r/pokemonribbons community's Hall of Fame.

Must-Read: Threadiquette:
  • This is my own private thread. Whatever I say goes. I am certainly aware that this is a broad statement and it is absolutely intended to be.
  • Please only post in this thread if you have an own trade thread, or if you use a google spreadsheet to catalogue your Pokémon collection.
  • Please take me at my word when I say that it is nothing personal. The reason is merely that I prefer knowing what I am getting myself into.
  • Notwithstanding the foregoing rule, I entirely reserve the right to make exceptions under certain circumstances at my personal discretion.
  • Please do ensure that you have satisfactorily familiarized yourself with the forum-specific Wi-Fi forum rules prior to posting in this thread.
  • Please do not post simple questions or requests here. Please direct these to the Simple Questions/Requests thread. It exists for a reason.
  • Please do not flood or double post. If you have something more to add to your post, please edit it, rather than submitting a second post.
  • If you post in this thread, we discuss the trade here. If I post in your thread, we discuss the trade there. Thusly, we keep things organized.
  • If you post in this thread, please ensure that you include a link to your trade thread/google spreadsheet in your post, or in your signature.
  • Please do employ the conventions of standard written English. If you post in this thread, your post must be coherent and comprehensible.
  • As a matter of course, you are allowed, and even encouraged, to use the vernacular that is commonly employed in trading communities.
  • In case you need several Pokémon from my collection to participate in (genuine) competitions, please do not hesitate to ask me for them.
  • In case some of my Pokémon assisted you in winning a (genuine) competition, please do not hesitate to share your achievement with me.
  • In case you need some Pokémon from my collection as a prize for a competition that you are hosting, I will gladly donate it to your cause.
  • Please note that I do not accept any custom RNG Abuse requests. I reserve the right to completely devote myself to my personal travail.
  • I exclusively welcome Pokémon that originate either from the Smogon Wi-Fi sub-forum or from Pokémon Showdown's Wi-Fi chat room.
  • In addition to this, though it should go without saying, you should not even bother trying to offer me hacked or manipulated Pokémon.
  • Subject to the same conditions, I refuse Pokémon from external sources like Wonder Trade, the GTS, passer-by or Twitch/YouTube raffles.
  • Similarly, I refuse Pokémon that you, or everybody else for that matter, can effortlessly get for free in giveaways (e.g. Smogon Facebook).
  • Please do consult the Smogon Wi-Fi sub-forum's Tips for Simple Hack Checks thread in case you doubt the legitimacy of your Pokémon.
  • Please do consult TheMantyke's Gen 7 Pokéball Legality guide in case you doubt the legitimacy of a Pokéball that a Pokémon was bred in.
  • Please do consult shiny finder's Gen 8 Pokéball Legality guide in case you doubt the legitimacy of a Pokéball that a Pokémon was bred in.
  • Please do consult /r/pokemontrades' list of Hacked Events in Generation 6 and 7 in case you doubt the legitimacy of your event Pokémon.
  • It is de facto your responsibility to ensure that the Pokémon you are offering are not hacked or manipulated in any way, shape, or form.
  • I will not trade with fraudulent users blacklisted on Smogon Wi-Fi, in the Pokémon Showdown Wi-Fi chat room, or on /r/pokemontrades.
  • Users that redeemed themselves by contributing positively to earn their second chance are by all means exempt from the foregoing rule.
  • Every single one of my Pokémon has a nickname. These nicknames are permanent and must never be altered in any way, shape, or form.
  • Every single one of my bred Pokémon was bred using flawless Ditto from .com, Buckert, Eppie, imYati, Luxpluff91, Most, PsIana, and vzxt.
  • Every single one of my RNG bred shiny Pokémon was hatched by hatchers on Smogon Wi-Fi's TSV list or by hatchers from /r/SVExchange.
  • Every single one of my soft-reset shiny Pokémon was soft-reset manually, without the usage of glitches, PKMN-NTR bots, or Lua scripts.
  • Most of my Pokémon are fully redistributable, however, only on the condition that I get credited satisfactorily. You shall link back to me.
  • If a Pokémon is listed as Non-Redis, it means that I am allowed to trade this Pokémon to you, but you are not allowed to trade it further.
  • If a Pokémon is listed as NFT, it means that I am not allowed to trade this Pokémon and that it is only listed here for personal reference.
  • Coequally, other users' Pokémon are not always fully redistributable either. Please ensure that you comply with the redistribution rights.
  • By making the majority of my own Pokémon fully redistributable, I intend to incentivize even more trading among community members.
  • I also want to clearly emphasize that every single Pokémon that you will receive from me will, without exceptions, be a cloned Pokémon.
  • We give cloning carte blanche, since it does not alter the data. Furthermore, it keeps the trading economy going and incentivizes trades.
  • If you are opposed to cloned Pokémon, I will respect your standpoint, but I will also kindly ask you to refrain from posting in this thread.
  • Insults, trolling, and condescension are included under the umbrella of disrespect and are strongly prohibited. Please have some sense.
  • Respect and tolerance is by no means a one-way street and naturally go hand in hand. If you respect me, I respect you correspondingly.
  • Please include this symbol (
    ) in your post to authenticate that you have perused the rules, failing which it will end up getting deleted.
  • Errors and omissions occur. However, I use reasonable care to ensure that the information shown in my thread is accurate and up to date.
  • Finally, I conclude by saying that I appreciate constructive feedback. I would, however, prefer if you would send me your criticism directly.

Acknowledgements & Credits:

Every effort has been made to properly credit all of the sources behind the illustrations and layouts that you will find in this thread.
In case any sources have been inadvertently overlooked, I will be pleased to make the necessary arrangements at the first opportunity.

Crème de la Crème & Prized Possessions

I would like to welcome the opportunity to preface this post by saying that every single Pokémon in my collection is a prized possession in its own right.
I did, however, decide to dedicate this post to some of my own rare Pokémon, as well as some of other Smogon users, that have extra meaning and value.
Please keep in mind that I, generally speaking, do not tend to trade these Pokémon away easily and some of them are simply not even up for trade at all.
I would like to give a shout-out to Crescentstar711, Inkblot, and Sephirona for designing the amazing custom artworks, both paid commissions and gifts.
Please check out Inkblot's art on Smogon, DeviantArt, and Twitter, as well as Sephirona's art on Smogon, DeviantArt, Twitter, tumblr, pixiv, and ArtStation.

[#130 - Bozo's ❝TRUTH❞
]

❝the Treasured Memory❞

OT: BOZO\27076 (Pearl) ‹
IVs: 31/31/31/23/31/31 - Adamant\Intimidate (♀)
EV'd: Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Earthquake, Bounce
[156 HP / 104 Atk / 100 Def / 148 Spe]

This is Bozo's shiny Gyarados, TRUTH, who was hatched in the days before the RNG was cracked.
If you receive her in a trade, you may trade her to other people under the conditions that:
  1. Her nickname TRUTH is unaltered - this Pokémon is TRUTH
    If you want a flawless shiny Gyarados without a nickname, you will need to get it from somewhere else; and
  2. This whole description is copied into your thread (if you are offering it there).
    If you receive her in a trade, please post in Bozo's thread to say you have her (even if you do not plan on trading her to anyone).
Watch her hatch!

This specific Gyarados was the Pokémon that I sought after the most when I first joined the Smogon community on February 12, 2016.
It was the very first Pokémon that I traded for on March 21, 2016 after I had opened my trade thread on March 16, 2016.

I would like to welcome the opportunity to give a big shout out to the lovely Miria for entrusting me with this nostalgic piece of Smogon Wi-Fi history.​

IVs: HT(13)/31/31/HT(23)/31/HT(11) - Bold\Multiscale (⚲)
EV'd: Substitute, Toxic, Whirlwind, Roost
[248 HP / 168 Def / 92 Spe]

I caught this Pokémon with an Ultra Ball in the depths of the Whirl Islands on my Pokémon Gold version for the Virtual Console.
This Pokémon was soft-reset manually: no tools (such as e.g. PKMN-NTR bots or Lua scripts) or glitches were involved in the hunt for this Pokémon.
I started soft-resetting on October 3, 2017.
I finally encountered the shiny Lugia on October 4, 2017 at 1:14 a.m after soft-resetting for only 1 day.
The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon are 1/8192 in Generation 2 games.
I referred to this ❝Exp. Points ↔ Nature❞ table (courtesy of TheMantyke) to assure a Bold nature for it.

A tsunami (from Japanese: 津波, ❝harbour wave❞) or tidal wave, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body.
They are typically caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.

I caught this Pokémon with a Master Ball at the peak of the Tin Tower on my Pokémon Gold version for the Virtual Console.
This Pokémon was soft-reset manually: no tools (such as e.g. PKMN-NTR bots or Lua scripts) or glitches were involved in the hunt for this Pokémon.
I started soft-resetting on September 22, 2017.
I finally encountered the shiny Ho-Oh on September 26, 2017 at 8:01 p.m after soft-resetting for 5 days.
The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon are 1/8192 in Generation 2 games.
This was the first manually soft-reset shiny Ho-Oh from the Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver on Smogon.
I referred to this ❝Exp. Points ↔ Nature❞ table (courtesy of TheMantyke) to assure an Adamant nature for it.

Fenikkusu is the rōmaji transcription of フェニックス (Phoenix).

[252 HP / 88 Def / 148 SpD / 20 Spe]

I caught this Pokémon with a Master Ball at the Ilex Forest shrine on my Pokémon Crystal version for the Virtual Console.
This Pokémon was soft-reset manually: no tools (such as e.g. PKMN-NTR bots or Lua scripts) or glitches were involved in the hunt for this Pokémon.
I started soft-resetting on January 28, 2018.

The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon are 1/8192 in Generation 2 games.
I referred to this ❝Exp. Points ↔ Nature❞ table (courtesy of TheMantyke) to assure a Bold nature for it.

Sakiko (written: 咲子 or 紗己子) is a Japanese feminine name, meaning ❝blossom child❞.

OT: Chris\01985 (Colosseum) ‹

IVs: 31/31/31/21/31/31 - Jolly\Technician (♂)
EV'd: Knock Off, Return, Low Kick, U-turn
[252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe]

❝Roger that, boss. That is my reason for living as well.❞

This Pokémon was snagged from Cipher Peon Cole in Cipher Lab on February 9, 2021.
Aipom was intentionally defeated in Cipher Lab so that it could be caught in a Master Ball later on.
This Pokémon was RNG abused in Pokémon Colosseum with the help of Sephirona, using the Dolphin v4.0-6848 emulator.
Every effort has been made to properly credit all of the guides and resources that were used for this project:
The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from the 5th part of Hirohiko Araki's ❝JoJo's Bizarre Adventure❞ manga series.
Doppio shares his body with Diavolo and regularly uses random objects as ❝phones❞ with which he talks with the latter.
The nickname was chosen because shiny Aipom's and shiny Ambipom's colour palette matches that of Doppio.
In addition to this, ❝doppio❞ means ❝double❞ in Italian, which is the overall theme of this evolution line.
The TID, the nature, and the IV spread are from the same savegame as ❝Giorno❞ the Sneasel/Weavile.​

This Pokémon was RNG abused in Pokémon Colosseum with the help of Sephirona, using the Dolphin v4.0-6848 emulator.
Every effort has been made to properly credit all of the guides and resources that were used for this project:
Please find down below a detailed documentation of RNG abusing Giorno's custom TID:
Please find down below a detailed documentation of RNG abusing Giorno himself:
The nickname is a reference to the eponymous protagonist from the 5th part of Hirohiko Araki's ❝JoJo's Bizarre Adventure❞ manga series.
Giorno is the illegitimate son of DIO, conceived with Jonathan Joestar's stolen body.
The nickname was chosen because shiny Sneasel's and shiny Weavile's colour palette matches that of Giorno.
The TID was chosen and RNG Abused to represent the year 1985, Giorno's year of birth.​

[252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD]

I had the inspiration for this project ever since one of the Gen 8 leakers encountered a shiny Impidimp and evolved it into Grimmsnarl.
The nickname for this Pokémon had hence already been written in stone weeks before the official release of the Gen 8 games.
This Pokémon was bred by Shachaawaq and hatched by me at the Glimwood Tangle forest as a reference to the Erlkönig's forest-like habitat.
I hatched three flawed shiny Impidimp before fellow Wi-Fiers Kanon90, Shachaawaq, Nexus, and ZamielVanWeber helped me out.
Shachaawaq eventually managed to hatch a flawless one on December 12, 2019.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous spirit or ❝king of the fairies❞ from German Romanticism.
He is a ❝bearded giant or goblin❞ that functions as a psychopomp and ❝lures little children to the land of death❞.

I had the inspiration for this project ever since Greavard was officially introduced on October 25, 2022.
I hatched two shiny Greavard in less than 120 eggs on January 2, 2023, using a breeding parent provided by Buckert.
While the first one had flawed Special Defense, the second one turned out to be perfect, with only Special Attack being flawed.

The name was chosen for a Houndstone, since its willingness to follow its trainer forever bears a strong resemblance with the Biblical Ruth.
Despite being widowed, she chose to remain with her mother-in-law Naomi.

{252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from German writer Wolfgang Borchert's 1947 short story ❝Nachts schlafen die Ratten doch❞ (❝Rats sleep at Night❞).
In the ruins of an unnamed German city that got bombed during World War II, nine-year-old Jürgen keeps watch.
An older man tries to gain Jürgen's trust in order to find out what exactly he is watching out for.
With the rabbit food in his basket, he arouses the curiosity of the suspicious boy, but the latter declines an invitation to look at his rabbits because he cannot give up the guard.
It is only when the man announces his leave that Jürgen finally starts talking. His house got destroyed during the bombing and the corpse of his four-year-old little brother got buried under the rubble.
His teacher had taught him that rats feast on corpses, which is why he watches over his brother day and night.
The man then claims that the teacher is wrong about rats being nocturnal animals and that everyone knows that ❝rats sleep at night❞.
The man made up this white lie, so that Jürgen, who was no longer able to hide his exhaustion, can finally take a break after sunset and go home without any worries.
The old man leaves, promising to pick up the boy after dark and to give him a white rabbit as a symbol of hope, before escorting him home to his parents.
The nickname was chosen for an Alolan Raticate, since the nocturnal Alolan Rattata only evolves during the night when it becomes active.

The nickname is a reference to Aldrich, Devourer of Gods, the eponymous boss from FromSoftware's ❝Dark Souls III❞.
The nickname was chosen for an Alolan Muk, since his devouring of both flesh and souls bloated him with dregs until he collapsed in his own polluted form, becoming a mass of abyssal sludge, animated by darkness.
The Dream Ball was chosen, since, after his revival, he began dreaming of the Old Gods, who supported the linking of the fire, and sought to devour them.
The moveset was chosen, since the Gluttony ability, in conjunction with the consumption and recycling of berries, aptly reflects Aldrich's sheer insatiable hunger.
❝When Aldrich ruminated on the fading of the fire, it inspired visions of a coming age of the deep sea. He knew the path would be arduous, but he had no fear. He would devour the gods himself.❞

The emperor, visibly amused, began to laugh and replied that Christ's resurrection was about as likely to have happened as the egg in her hand changing its colour to red.
He had barely finished uttering his reply, when the egg had indeed already changed its colour to a bright red in Mary Magdalene's palms.
The nickname was chosen for a Chansey; since it holds an egg in its palm and since its healing properties go in tandem with the egg representing new life.

The nickname is a reference to French physician and embryologist Antoine Étienne Renaud Augustin Serres.
The nickname is also a reference to the theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or embryological parallelism, often expressed using Ernst Haeckel's phrase ❝ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny❞.
The development of the embryo of an animal, from fertilization to gestation or hatching, goes through stages resembling or representing successive adult stages in the evolution of the animal's remote ancestors.
It was formulated in the 1820s by Étienne Serres, based on the work of Johann Friedrich Meckel, after whom it is also known as ❝Meckel–Serres law❞.
The nickname was chosen for Mew, since its earliest design in Japanese Pokémon Red version and Pokémon Green version resembled a vertebrate embryo, featuring a large head and a small body.
In addition to this, it is believed by scientists to be the last universal common ancestor of all other Pokémon.

Sadly enough, Lugia was given birth through Shudo's substance abuse, as he was under strong influence of alcohol and pills when writing for the anime and the first three movies:
❝If I can't drink, I take tranquilizers. When I get a little bit high, it helps me sort out all my confused thoughts. However, when it comes to alcohol and drugs, you need to know your limit...❞
❝[Like] if I start to think that 1 plus 1 doesn't necessarily equal 2... when these become difficult, it means I'm drunk.❞
Her original code name was ❝Pokémon X❞, a creature ❝different from Pokémon❞, since she had to ❝symbolize life for humans, too❞.
❝She's a symbol of life, but also of coexistence. X symbolizes deep ocean currents and created life on Earth. It's a maternal Pokémon❞.
❝One of the regrets I have about writing the second Pokémon movie was that I didn't push back on the gender assigned to Lugia.❞
❝Although its gender isn't addressed in the plot, it's given a male voice... [but] it's a maternal Pokémon...❞
Shudo wrote a lot about Lugia in the year before he died, but it was the loss of its maternal identity that pained him the most.
The cause of his death was a subarachnoid huemorrhage, which is essentially a brain bleed whose risk factors include cigarettes and alcohol.
It was Shudo's substance abuse that fuelled his writing and gave birth to Lugia, but sadly, it may also have been what killed him.

Every year on the mermaid island a festival is held during which three participants win Dugong Arrows that are said to wield immortality to their carriers.
The arrows are bestowed upon the winners by an Elder woman who is allegedly over 130 years old thanks to the flesh of a mermaid she consumed.
When Saori, Naoko, and Toshimi failed to win the Dugong Arrow lottery, they got drunk and burned her alive in one of the warehouses to see if she was truly immortal.

The nickname Cassandra (Κασσάνδρα) is a reference to the eponymous girl from Greek mythology.
She was blessed with the gift to predict the future, but also cursed so that nobody would ever believe her predictions.
This is notably consistent with how Absol tries to warn humans about natural disasters, but ends up getting blamed for them instead.
Note: In Gen 7 this Pokémon is nicknamed ❝카산드라❞, whereas it is nicknamed ❝Cassandra❞ in Gen 8+.
Because of a bug, Pokémon HOME assigned this Pokémon the new OT ❝HOME❞ in Gen 8+, as opposed to the OT ❝❤사토미❤❞ from Gen 7.

{252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from German author Margret Steenfatt's 1984 short-story ❝Im Spiegel❞ (❝In The Mirror❞).
The short story revolves around the emotional outburst of Achim, a 15 year old boy, trapped in a prejudicial family home that keeps telling him that he is ❝nothing❞, that he does ❝nothing❞, and that he will always stay ❝nothing❞.
After a dispute with his parents, he stares at his pale and expressionless reflection in the mirror.
He grabs a box with tubes of paint from underneath his bed and repaints his face in the mirror with white, black, and blue colours.
The story ends with Achim using his fist to smash the mirror, as well as the painted ❝mask❞ he had been forced to wear.
He packs his bag and leaves his room to meet up with ❝his people❞.
The nickname was chosen for a regular Glalie, since the colour palette matches all of the mask's cold colours, incidentally also matching Glalie's Ice typing.
The moveset with a Naive nature and Explosion was chosen, since Achim's outburst allows him to break free from his childish naïveté by smashing the mirror.
❝Du kannst nichts❞, sagten sie, ❝du machst nichts❞, ❝aus dir wird nichts.❞ ❝Nichts. Nichts. Nichts.❞
Note: As of Gen 9, this Pokémon is S-sized.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous microbe from American author John Michael Crichton's 1969 techno-thriller The Andromeda Strain.
The story follows a team from an Air Force base, deployed to recover a military satellite that has returned to Earth, but contact is lost abruptly.
When people start dying in Piedmont, Arizona, the duty officer of the base suspects that the satellite returned with an extra-terrestrial contaminant.
As it turns out, the microbe responsible for the deaths got carried by a meteor that ended up crashing into the satellite, knocking it from orbit.
The nickname was chosen for a Deoxys, since it is an alien virus that fell to Earth on a meteor before undergoing a DNA mutation.
Much like how Deoxys can change forms, the ❝Andromeda❞ microbe mutates with each growth cycle, changing its biological properties.
Note: As of Gen 9, this Pokémon is M-sized.

EV'd: Swords Dance, Poison Jab, Earthquake, Knock Off
{252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from German poet, fiction and non-fiction writer, and dramatist Christa Reinig's 1968 parabel ❝Der Skorpion❞ (❝The Scorpion❞).
The parable revolves around Orion, a man that she labels ❝a scorpion❞, and the world full of prejudice he finds himself in.
His eyes are close together, his eyebrows are bushy, and the shape of his mouth appears to signal cruelty.
While he is in fact a kind and gentle soul, society tells him that his physical appearance is connected to characteristics such as deceitfulness, irascibility, and a tendency to criminality.
He eventually internalizes the societal prejudice and is convinced that he is a bad person, causing him to become a shy recluse, spending most of his days reading books.
One day, however, he leaves his house to go buy a new book and tries to be a good person (the one that he really is) to the people that he meets on his way to the book shop.
In the library, he discovers that the book he wanted is too expensive and he puts it back onto the shelf and picks another one.
However, a book connoisseur tells him that he had been looking for this specific book for ages and ❝the scorpion❞ generously lets him have it.
As a reward for his good deed, the shop owner tells him that he can have the expensive book he originally wanted for cheaper.
❝The scorpion❞, visibly happy, wants to shake hands with the shop owner in order to express his genuine gratitude.
However, since he is holding the book with both hands, he involuntarily ends up handing the man his venomous tail instead, killing him in the process.
Christa Reinig chose the symbol of the scorpion, since it also suffers from human prejudice: only roughly 40 to 50 out of 1500 kinds are venomous enough to kill people.
She warns about societal stigmatization and the related self-fulfilling prophecy.
The nickname was chosen for Drapion, since it is based on a scorpion and since its overall design bears a striking resemblance to Orion's physique.

EV'd: Swords Dance, Cross Poison, Agility, Night Slash
{252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to German psychologist Robert Betz, more specifically to his interpretation of the animal fable ❝Der Frosch und der Skorpion❞ (❝The Frog and the Scorpion❞).
A scorpion meets a frog on the riverbank. ❝Kind frog, could you carry me on your back across the river?❞, asks the scorpion.
❝I don't have a death wish. The moment we're on the water, you're going to sting me and, then, I'll die❞, replies the frog.
❝No, because if I sting you, then I'll sink and drown❞, says the scorpion. ❝That makes sense. Climb on my back❞, says the frog.
They have barely swum a few metres when the frog suddenly feels a stinging pain. ❝Curses, now you ended up stinging me after all. Now, we're both going to die❞, says the frog.
❝I know. I'm sorry, but I am a scorpion and scorpions sting after all❞, replies the scorpion.
Robert Betz explains that humans are not scorpions and that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are not genetically predetermined.
The ways in which we think, feel, and act are taught to us by our entourage and environment. We do not have to be the victims of our past and past experiences.
The things we have learned can also be unlearned again. We can reinvent ourselves and decide once more who we want to be, how we want to think, speak, and act.
This, however, only works under the condition that we take responsibility as the creators of our previous ways of thinking, feeling, and acting, and, by definition, our past.
Those who will keep thinking of themselves as the victims of their circumstances act like the scorpion: ❝I'm just like that, I can't help it❞.

{248 HP / 124 SpA / 136 SpD}

The nickname is a reference to Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized human cell line and one of the most important cell lines in medical research.
An immortalized cell line reproduces indefinitely under specific conditions, and the HeLa cell line continues to be a source of invaluable medical data to the present day.
The nickname was chosen for a Reuniclus with the Regenerator ability, since the evolution line is based on cells and since the ability fits the theme of Henrietta's immortalized cell line reproducing indefinitely.
I got the inspiration when Sephirona told me about Henrietta Lacks while we were watching Chiaki J. Konaka's ❝Texhnolyze❞ anime series, directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki.
In the show, Ichise receives a texhnolyzed arm and a leg, made out of the cells of his mother that he kept with himself in a tube.

EV'd: Foul Play, Roost, Defog, U-turn
{248 HP / 68 Def / 192 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to Czech journalist, writer, editor, and translator Milena Jesenská.
More precisely, it is a reference to the failed relationship she had with German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short-story writer Franz Kafka.
The aforementioned failed relationship was one of the catalysts for Franz Kafka's inspiration to write his 1920 short prose story, called ❝Der Geier❞ (❝The Vulture❞).
In this story, Franz Kafka writes about a vulture that mercilessly hacks at a young man's feet, with the latter not even attempting to defend himself.
Another man walks by and offers to go home and grab a rifle and come back, in order to shoot the vulture, thus saving the young man.
The vulture, however, listens to their plan and thrusts its beak into the young man's head, killing him, as well as itself, drowning in the young man's flowing blood, ❝filling every depth, flooding every shore❞.
In this story, the protagonist is thought to be Kafka himself, unable to defend himself against the strokes of fate and illness that keep hacking at him.
Her ID number 004711 is a reference to the nickname ❝4711❞ (❝Siebenundvierzig-elf❞) that fellow Ravensbrück concentration camp inmates had given her, based on the number that had been tattooed onto her.
The Love Ball was chosen, not only to match the colour palette, but also to complement the fact that ❝râchâm❞, the name of the Egyptian vulture in the bible, contains the root for ❝love❞, the feeling they had for each other.
Note: As of Gen 9, this Pokémon is M-sized.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous American avian palaeontologist Larry Dean Martin.
The Yanornis martini species of the Yanornis genus, fish-eating Early Cretaceous birds, was named after him.
The name is derived from the combination of the Mandarin Chinese word Yàn niǎo (燕鸟), meaning ❝bird from the Yan dynasty❞, and the Ancient Greek word ornis (ορνις), meaning ❝bird❞.
Much like how Cara Liss restores Dracozolt with the bird head and the drake's lower body, a Yanornis martini was placed on a Microraptor to create the Archaeoraptor, a notorious case of a fossil ❝Frankenstein❞.

The nickname is a reference to Stephen Czerkas, enthusiastic fossil amateur and director of The Dinosaur Museum in Blanding, Utah.
In June 1998, Stephen Czerkas illegally purchased a fake Archaeoraptor fossil for $80,000 that was wrongfully assumed to be the ❝missing link❞ between birds and dinosaurs.
Much like how Cara Liss restores Dracozolt with the bird head and the drake's lower body, the Archaeoraptor was a forgery in which bones of a primitive bird and a non-flying dromaeosaurid dinosaur had been combined.
❝With arms of a primitive bird and the tail of a dinosaur❞, as formulated by senior assistant editor Christopher Sloan of the National Geographic magazine.

The nickname is derived from the Japanese word for parachute (literally ❝umbrella for falling❞, 落下傘).

Human negligence and ❝misguided efforts❞ were blamed for Fred's ❝demise❞, since he was euthanized shortly after his capture.
❝Because people want to love, laugh at and be entertained by baboons, they start a cycle of events that can lead to tragedy, as in the case of this baboon❞, the city said, adding
❝He targets cars with bags and visible food, but it is his ability to open closed car doors that surprised everyone❞.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from William Shakespeare's play ❝The Merry Wives of Windsor❞.
One day, Herne the Hunter assists the king during a hunt and ends up getting gored by a mysterious stag.
The unconscious Herne, however, is found by the Devil who offers him a pact: in return for his life being saved, Herne has to wear the stag's antlers.
Upon his return at the royal court, however, he finds himself being ousted.
Unable to return to his old life, he decides to hang himself in the forest.
His spiteful ghost, however, continues to ride on his ghostly steed across the king's hunting grounds with the vow to protect the wild game that he used to hunt for the king.
❝There is an old tale goes, that Herne the Hunter❞
❝Doth all the winter-time, at still midnight❞
❝Walk round about an oak, with great ragg'd horns;❞
❝And there he blasts the tree, and takes the cattle,❞

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from Dani Aster's 2019 folk horror film ❝Midsommar❞.
The nickname was chosen, since the moveset, relying on the Guts ability triggered by the Flame Orb item, bears a striking resemblance to Christian's fate.
The final Midsommar ceremony involves the ritualistic burning of 9 human sacrifices to purge the Hårgar commune from evil.
As May Queen, Dani must choose either Christian or a commune member to be the final sacrificial victim.
She chooses Christian, who is stuffed into a disembowelled brown bear's body and placed in a triangular wooden temple alongside other sacrifices.
The commune members to be sacrificed are given drugs and told it will prevent them from feeling fear or pain, but Christian is not and remains unable to move.
The structure is set on fire, and the commune members mimic the screams and wails of those being burned alive.
Dani initially sobs in horror and grief, but then she gradually begins to smile.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous girl from the poem ❝Les tronçons du serpent❞ (The segments of the serpent) by French novelist, poet, and dramatist Victor-Marie Hugo.
The nickname was chosen for a shiny Dudunsparce, since the segmented body bears a striking resemblance to the remains of the yellow serpent that got chopped up with an axe, bleeding pink blood.
The chopped up segments, undergoing post-mortem spasms and desperately trying to reunite and heal, remind the narrator of pairs of lips, desperately trying to become one through a kiss.
Unfortunately for him, however, that is no longer possible, as Albaydé, the girl he had fallen in love with, had passed away.
The Heal Ball was chosen to complement the futile effort of healing.
❝Un jour, pensif, j'errais au bord d'un golfe, ouvert
Entre deux promontoires,
Et je vis sur le sable un serpent jaune et vert,
Jaspé de taches noires.
La hache en vingt tronçons avait coupé vivant
Son corps que l'onde arrose,
Et l'écume des mers que lui jetait le vent
Sur son sang flottait rose.
Tous ses anneaux vermeils rampaient en se tordant
Sur la grève isolée,
Et le sang empourprait d'un rouge plus ardent
Sa crête dentelée.
Ces tronçons déchirés, épars, près d'épuiser
Leurs forces languissantes,
Se cherchaient, se cherchaient, comme pour un baiser
Deux bouches frémissantes !❞

The nickname was chosen for Ting-Lu, as its Dark/Ground dual typing evokes the scene during which Val shows Blake her ❝true face❞ at the ritual site by smothering her body in mud and donning a crown of thorns.
❝God doesn't love you. Not like I do.❞
Note: This Pokémon is M-sized.
