Honorable mentions to Corbeau/Scolipede, Volo/Arceus, Zinnia/Rayquaza, L/Gyarados, Blue/Pidgeot, and others. Might run a second round of this if y'all have suggestions hehe.

No Trainer or Rival/Starter ships included other than the Roto-Dex because technically speaking the player has no canon team and the Rivals don't have a canon starter lol.

nathan sharp, he/thembo, dungeon master. alternatively: the guy who got eaten by the giant lesbian in attack on titan. sometimes i forget how to function and then my girlfriend kisses my cheek and i REALLY forget.

i like all things pokemon, monster hunter, and dungeons & dragons. if you make music, there’s a good chance i’ve covered one of your songs. or one of your favorite anime openings.

Blinding and disorienting the poor thing with illusions, Confusing it, so Zoroark can get a hold on it before it even knows what's happening. With a Dark-type keeping it blinded, Confused, and physically surrounding it, its abilities are useless, it can't even tell what to attack.

Like that, you can do whatever you want to it, and all it can do about it is squirm. Zoroark stays curled around it, watching, lazily grinding itself against its captive - maybe it'll take its turn when you're done, or replace it for round two, or maybe it'll just grind itself to completion just like this.
