I used a Staraptor on my team as a kid, and I’ve loved them ever since.

Well, Cipher. Have you ever had something you were so desperate to protect, no matter what?

Kuza was an old Staraptor, old and tired. He couldn’t keep up with most of his young trainer’s team, and at times he feared they’d leave him behind.

Now, mind that he loved his trainer, she never made him, or any of them battle, but Karlia was so fast paced, it was almost too much for him.

Letting out a sigh, he settled at the base of a tree, watching as she started dinner for them all. It was nice, a home made meal he thought idly, never noticing the Charzard walking to him.

Kuza shifted, startled as GZ sat next to him, wrapping his tail around him, pulling him close. 

The warmth from his teammate sank in as he looked up at him, GZ smiling down at him.

“Corviknight are an especially big species of bird Pokémon, so much so that residents of Galar use them as straight-up cabs to travel between cities. As one of the only Pokémon not born a steel-type that doesn’t gain it via the object Metal Coat (like Scizor) or via other Pokémon trade interactions (Escavalier), it’s important to look at the context of Corviknight life.

While adult Corviknight can be seen roaming the Wild Area, their fledgeling Rookidee are most commonly seen on the outskirts of more peaceful towns. As Corviknight are almost never seen in these areas, it has lead to two divergent trains of thought: one, that what was believed to be the species adolescent stage, Corvisquire, is actually the adult of this species, and that Corviknight are a more extreme stage of their growth attained after taking care of their young, or two, that Corviknight require so much energy to maintain their large sizes that young are left to fend for themselves while Corviknight seek out steel-type prey to maintain their hardened carapaces (Cufant).

Talonflame are a species native to the Kalos region. Their powerful wing muscles allow them to pursue prey at high speeds, though the species as a whole is reliant on divebomb-style attacks to subdue prey. Official Pokémon matches had to amend special rules disbarring Talonflame from flying out too far from chosen arenas, as opposing trainers complained having your opponent disappear for such a long time made for a boring sport. As a result particularly dedicated Kalos trainers take part in “aerial battles” limiting the Pokémon set to only flying ones, to give predatory bird Pokémon an outlet for their natural battle style.

Next pokemon to be humanize is Staraptor!
