Pokémon Headcanons You've NEVER Thought of Before

[@justinn8541akaDrPokemon]

A headcanon I have is that Larry started out as Rika’s assistant, but became a gym leader and elite 4 member due to how short-staffed they are.

[@andrewsd.r.7180]

The grind never ends

[@lethalweaboo8662]

I a head cannon that the reason why Larry is depressed is he knew the research team that died in area zero.

[@valleyard8674]

Fair enough But I'm still subscribed to the "Larry is actually from our world but got isekaied" club, lol

[@valleyard8674]

(If you think about it, him being a normal asian salary man that got isekaied would make sense on that, already used to being overworked, as well as being organized and good at adapting to new environments, because he would probably be sent from area to area to help with projects that were approaching deadline)

[@whitebutterflyfingersofcolour]

You again, Ive seen you many times before

[@STierofFTiers]

Late but… My headcanon is that the reason why Nemona is so energetic all the time is because she used to watch action movies or watched trainers like Red, Steven, and Cynthia all the time and she thought, “Yep… that’s gonna be me,” so her view of things is like a huge movie where no side character shall be forgotten about.

[@okami_kamkam]

Here’s a headcanon: Whenever it’s Larry’s birthday, all the gym leaders, Elite Four of Paldea (along with Nemona and the protagonist) and even his Pokémon work together to get his work for the day done the best they can, sometimes even in front of him (he acts like doesn’t notice them while still working due to Geeta). But due to their efforts, he gets to go home early so they all treat him to a party, nothing crazy though as they realised he wouldn’t really care about it if it wasn’t normal enough, so it’s just like, they all cook something and have a nice meal together and hang out. It’s normal enough for Larry, and it makes him happy and grateful.

[@zeroknight1311]

@okami2580 That actually goes along with my headcanon of how everyone in game tries to make Larry smile. As they don't want to see him depressed.

[@billyyyn]

he deserves the world

[@GAMERLIBARY]

⁠@@zeroknight1311 that’s similar to a headcanon of mine where everyone that knows Larry has a secret challenge to see who could get him to smile which it got to the point where most people who have fought against him is also in on the challenge.

[@Broomer52]

Thanks to the Pokémon Masters event I’m convinced Larry is worked hard by Geeta because he’s effortlessly strong. Larry always talks about wanting to get battles over as quick as possible but doesn’t like to showboat and when talking to Kabu about training Larry is flat out confused by the thought of training to get stronger. Geeta knows that if Larry ever actually tried he’d be unstoppable. However all his coworkers and even Geeta are just so annoyed at his absolute refusal to put any amount of genuine effort into his job. For all his natural talent he just wants to work a 9-5 job It also spiraled into a different headcanon that Kabu is the only person who can get any kind of energy out of Larry because Kabu is the only person that can understand the way Larry thinks and speak his language. Motivating him with good meals and relaxing places

[@gamenation1251]

Headcanon: When Opal gives the player’s Pokémon stat changes in sword/shield, she just shoves a berry down the opposing Pokémon’s throat

[@RainMarrlen]

I headcanon that the themes for the creation trio in Legends Arceus are actually just being played through the Arc Phone Arceus just being like: hey, here are some banger tunes while you fight my children

[@Bigblackguynumber9]

Kind of a banger headcanon

[@airplanes_aren.t_real]

Imagine hearing a child that's carrying the strongest animals in the local ecosystem with their own theme song playing in the background as they capture most of the natural fauna

[@J.Blazer]

All the background music and battle themes are being emitted by the Arc Phone, controlled by Arceus, but you never notice because you always have it on you. Taking a stroll in the fieldlands? Arceus plays some relaxing music. Battling a wild alpha Snorlax? Arceus turns on the Battle Mix. Dueling a maniac at Hisui's peak? Arceus knows *exactly* what to play to set the mood.

[@typhoontiak6213]

@@J.Blazer this makes me laugh because of the thought of everyone around the protag being like "wtf why is there music playing" and the protag never notices/doesn't mind because they liked to listen to music before coming to hisui

I have a few: 1) Despite Hop wanting to be a professor, he can't pick one thing to study, but most other professors are really open to it, and by the time he'd be around 25 he'd have been to all other regions at least once. 2) Milo is gentle with EVERY pokemon he sees, it's to the point where some people ask him to help train misbehaving pokemon 3) Hop was more raised by Leon then their own parents, hence why Hop looks up to his older brother so much.

[@MaskedMon]

Headcanon: Wally was absolutely SICK of everyone giving him sideeye when he used Gardevior, hence why he went to train a Gallade...

[@octaviamochizuki7475]

That honestly implies that he finally decided to just start ignoring the side looks once he got on pasio, considering he has a sync pair with a shiny Gardevior

[@billyyyn]

[@JackWithAburger]

I don’t know why they would! I get the..uh, *things* that most know gardevior for. But I think Wally used one because it’s a good Pokemon, and because it’s convenient, it’s an early route pokemon that can easily be evolved on the way.

I’m a girl psychic type enthusiast, and people think I’m weird for using a shiny Gallade, HE’S SHINY! OF COURSE I’LL USE HIM!

My 2 headcanons: 1) I feel like Diantha can speak in any accent because of her sheer amount of movie roles. I feel like she was asked to take more vocal training just to make some roles more endearing to fans. 2) Ash sees Professors Burnet and Kukui as his second mum and dad. I just loved the familial bond they has during the Sun and Moon anime.

[@DmantosSanint]

My headcanon is that Gary's cheerleaders are Daisy's college buddies who are there for his protection on her request, and in private he is mad embarrassed.

I have a funny headcanon: The reason why Mina doesn't have a trial in Sun and Moon is because she didn't know what to do in the trial and began to procrastrinate, but one day when she was traveling for inspiration, she found a very big ribombee and decides to name it as the totem pokemon, and the buffs aren't natural, Mina throws X-Items and the player doesn't notice. Edit: I thought of another headcanon: The reason why Getsis' pokemons have the least amount of friendship is because he gave them Toxic Orbs to faint them and lower their friendship to the lowest and because walking gives friendship to a pokemon, he carries around a PC and when he needs to fight he opens the PC and throws them into the battle.

[@somethingelse8498]

The more I think about it makes kinda sense

[@timgorg1919]

Headcanon 5: The gym leaders are sparing you by not using their whole team. At the entrance you show that one guy how many badges you have and the leaders have a team for every number (that is already semi-canon). They have their other Pokémon hidden in the gym, for example all of Misty's Pokémon are in the pool of the Cerulean Gym.

[@ThunderMouse1999]

I’m pretty sure Katy says she holds back post-zero lab, so I think this is true

[@BuzzPrincess12]

This isn't a headcanon, it's just canon. It's stated in origins and multiple gym leaders mention holding back

@@BuzzPrincess12 No, I meant the details are headcanon. Badge showing, location of Pokémon and Solid Teams for every badge number.

[@Thatonerandomseal]

I’m very late So here’s me head canyon mega evolution inflicts pain because the bond they share will be used for energy, if the bond is weak the energy will be tangled therefore inflicting pain, the weaker the bond the more pain it causes Also Chloe is the type of person to go to a fancy restaurant that serves steak in a form of steam

[@octolockg5059]

How else would it work though? They'd have to know your badge count to account for that? Origins literally shows this in Red's fight against Brock. ​@@timgorg1919

[@Sandstorm-TheTraveller]

Mega Evolution depends on friendship for pain tolerance. The more a Pokémon loves/trusts their trainer, the less pain they go through. It’s possible to mega evolve any Pokémon you randomly find/don’t know, it’s just frowned upon.

[@RubyCheetahCub]

I believe that this may play a roll in the Alolans not understanding the Mega Evo phenomenon.

[@justatransnoibat3507]

I hold this headcanon, too. Mostly just to make myself feel less bad for using them, but it makes sense from a lore perspective

[@sentientmustache8360]

Furthering your example: Ash Greninja is simply a perfected mega evolution that greatly relieves the Pokemon’s pain during a fight, at the cost of having the trainer themselves share in burden.

[@luckymcgirl9916]

I have a simple headcanon- N runs a sanctuary for mistreated pokemon where they can live peacefully without fear of humans. A lot of former Team Plasma members help out, and Hilbert volunteers from time to time.

Fast forward 30 years to where he’s a multimillionaire, and he sends a team out to catch Kyurem and send him to therapy and give him a huge foster family once he learns how to manage his fury.

[@CobAnimates]

Head canon- While red knows that evolving his pikachu would make it stronger, hes too busy battling and training to be bothered to go and find/buy a thunderstone

[@theknightwithabadpictotall7639]

The real reason is that the game creators appeared before him and told him that if he ever evolves his Pikachu he will be brutally tortured and killed

[@CobAnimates]

@@theknightwithabadpictotall7639 this is canon

[@pixlepalzcrowther6694]

Another explanation is red forgot to get a thunder stone until he became champion so every time in the past he has went to get one, he gets swarmed with people wanting to interview or find out where he has been so now just stays up on mount silver out of fear of unnecessary social interaction.

[@WannabeArtist55]

I got a headcanon that aerodactyl is the direct ancestor of the charmander line who are also related to the salandit and helioptile lines. An few extentions to this are, tyrantrum being an ancestor of archeops who is an ancestor to all modern bird pokemon, kabutops being the direct ancestor of golisopod, bastiodon being an ancestor to torterra and drednaw, the vish fossil of dracovish and arctovish being an relative of relicanth.

[@Nicolas-pm6bo]

A headcannon I came up with is this: The protagonist in the Pokémon games are under constant stress. They are a 10 year old leaving their house with only a starter to keep them company, and it gets worse when they have to stop a world ending threat. This also explains why you black out when you run out of Pokémon. The stress is so bad that a minor inconvenience is enough to make you snap and black out, and you are taken to the hospital, or Pokémon center, where you get your Pokémon healed and reassured that every thing is fine. Edit: as many people pointed out, a lot of protagonists are older than 11, but they are still teenagers, and we all went through high school, so I imagine going off on your own without any guidance will be a bit more stressful than high school

[@Hannah-t5z]

That’s accurate. Unless you and a couple friends set out in a group like Ash, Brock and Misty your going to be extremely lonely all the time.

[@Airhawg08]

Actually, some of the games say that the protagonists are older than ten (For example: Red being 11 in the game's manual and the Legends Arceus protagonists looking 15) but I still completely agree with you.

[@leham1385]

Headcanon time: 1.) Arceus messes with the pokedex entries because it thinks it's funny, that's why a lot of them contradict each other. 2.) Some pokemon like Hypno, Salamence, and Gardevoir need Licenses to be owned, battled, or traded because of how dangerous they can be, however legendary and mythical pokemon are loopholes to this law. This is because the chances of random person just having a legendary or mythical is basically 0, thus there are technically no laws saying you can't own one without a license.

[@shinystone3294]

I have a few headcanons that I don't know how I got them. 1. Arceus Is a father- like figure to the PLA protagonist, likely comments on every picture the player would send to them, and overall being very supportive. 2. The dark type Urshifu is scared of getting hurt which is why they'll try to finish fights with one strike. 3. Giratina would be an overprotective parent (Zarude and Coco styled) 4. All legendary and mythical pokemon have a get together every few years. Usually it's chaotic but all of them have a good time. 5. Fire type pokemon love ice cream and ice cold water. 6. Flint (E4) isn't allowed in or near any campsite in sinnoh

[@corcortinez5361]

Some headcanons that I have 1. The champion rank exists through each region. This could explain why Steven and Wallace are champions. The main champion you think of for the region is likely the top champion. 2. The hisui pokeballs don't *truly* catch the pokemon, but they choose to stay with you.

[@overseerpjoe9477]

I always viewed the title of Champion like how President works in the US: Once you have become a Champion, even if you are no longer the current/active Champion, you still have that title.

Some of my headcanons: -Everyone in game, minus Geeta, canonically tries to make Larry smile. They don't want to see the man be depressed from being overworked. -The events of Pokemon Ranger Shadow of Alima are kept secret to prevent anyone else from doing what Dim Sum tried to do.

However, she's *hopelessly* bad at anything that requires math and struggles with it a lot, to the point that even Penny has labeled her as a lost cause. Florian is a tech wizard and has a pretty big rivalry with Penny about it, and one day hopes to be the "master of all hackers". But, he *cannot* win a battle to save his life and is a total pushover. He once somehow managed to get his full team wiped to a wild *Magikarp* that knew Tackle and Nemona refuses to let him live it down. Also just a little bonus, I like to think that Juliana and Nemona become a couple after the main game's events because they share their room temperature IQ and love for battling. Plus, Nemona loves Juliana's sandwiches to the point that she doesn't even go to sandwich shops anymore, and Juliana finds Nemona's eagerness to battle endearing, and often tells her Pokemon to hold back a bit so Nemona can keep winning (though she does occasionally wipe the floor with her to keep her humble lol).

One of my headcanons is that Mega Evolution causing Pokémon pain--per the dex entries--is only true if the bond between trainer and Pokémon isn't strong enough. In the games you can Mega Evolve a Pokémon regardless of its friendship stat, so it's likely the character(s) who wrote the dex entries were mostly observing Pokémon who didn't share a strong bond with their trainers; and maybe the Megas with positive dex entries such as Pinsir and Kangaskhan happened to be exceptions. This would match what is seen in the anime as well, including Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.

So when i saw some characters' shoes, i noticed no one had shoe laces (N, Cheren, the gym leaders, the protags), then i noticed that the protagonists in bw2 did have laces. So my headcanon is that in unova, no one knows how to tie their shoes, because its a really special skill

[@thenamesianna]

Maybe shoelaces aren't even a Unovan thing and are actually seen as "foreign clothing" to them hence why they don't usually know how to wear them (kind of like how an American would see a turban).

[@doublex929]

Here’s a few headcanons: -The reason that Gordie is replaced by his mom Melony in shield is because Gordie is going to art school (or is grounded) -(for the Leon x Sonia shippers) Leon spent days trying to find some clothing of the exact same material as Sonia’s sweater because it makes him think of her -There is an international convention for all ice type gym leaders

[@fnafbendyranger123x]

One head canon for the Tao dragons is that shortly after their separation, reshiram and zekrom were shocked to their predicament, and tried to bring themselves back together in any shape or form, but as time went on and the original brothers passed, they started to see each other as not two fractured halves but newly formed brothers who were able to pursue their own destinies, even hugged after the battle with N. Unfortunately Kyrum didn’t think this way and instead forced the two other dragons back together, eventually managing to fuse with one of them, which left them traumatized by kyrum’s chaotic power, and soon drove Kyrum away into the giant’s chasm, eventually teaming up with Ghestis to get their revenge.

[@SheruMuko]

I like that one.

[@arthurdias6860]

I like that headcanon, specially because the Tao trio is my favorite trio and i like the idea of Kyurem being like Spinel from Steven Universe future until he/she understand me everything, and then they are just ashamed of what they done

[@JennyBlaze253]

Love these videos a whole bunch, so here's a couple of my own! 1: Cynthia is able to use both a Lucario and a Togekiss because she has a strong aura to her, potentially having aura abilities herself. Considering Lucario and Togekiss have been described as Aura Pokemon, maybe they only evolve when around trainers with strong auras. That's why her presence is so fearful to many a trainer, they feel her powerful aura. This also explains why you need high friendship to evolve Riolu. Your bond with your mon enhances your own aura and theirs. 2: The Cyrus fought on Team Rainbow Rocket is the Cyrus from Platinum. He jumped universes from the Distortion World and eventually found a dimension where he succeeded. 3: Volo is indeed Cynthia's ancestor and Cogita is actually an older Cynthia, having fallen through a space-time rift (possibly while investigating either Spear Pillar or Ultra Wormholes) and decided to seclude herself so she doesn't screw up the timeline, only appearing to the protagonist upon learning of their existence and recruiting Volo to help, though not informing him that she is his descendant. 4: Maybe this is just me hoping for Volo to reform, but I think after being defeated by the protag he becomes humbled, giving up on his quest to fight God in an ancient Hisuian Denny's Parking Lot and going into research on the legends of Sinnoh, eventually this passion passing down to his descendant. Also, I want him to be able to help the protag and Ingo get home because EMMETT DESERVES TO SEE HIS BROTHER AGAIN, DANGIT!! 😭😭😭 (Also, yeah, this was a big Sinnoh bias, but Gen 4 is my favorite dangit!)

[@awkwardowl1314]

Small counterpoint and a head canon: Giovanni keeps Jessie and James around because they're amazing at distracting any trainers like Ash from getting close to their base. The two are so flashy with their antics that everyone focuses on them.

[@thesymbiotenation.4552]

My headcannon is that after the whole Blueberry Academy drama, the player willingly doesn’t accept the champion title A) because they’re an exchange student, and B) they’re already a Paldean Champion so they feel having it in two places is a bit excessive and greedy.

[@GamerSoda-wk1ji]

Cool headcanon, but I don't get the whole greedy and excessive thing. Being a pokemon champion means you are one of the best of the best. Besides, once the exchange thing is over, then they could always just re-assign who the champion is.

[@ShinyHunterCel]

@@GamerSoda-wk1ji I view it as being greedy because you’d be stealing away chances for other trainers to be champion. Nobody would challenge the Pokémon Leagues if one person was champion everywhere. I think it bleeds into another headcannon of mine where a trainer has to step down the position if they want to claim the champion title in another region, except Paldean champions as it is just a rank there

[@Jeff_Idiotface]

Alternative reason: A heavy cut to champion benefits when one person pursues multiple titles while still having to put up all the effort of maintaining the champion title

[@matthewroberts198]

​@@ShinyHunterCel Maybe they didn't take it at Blueberry because they didn't want Kieran to feel anymore bad than he already did. 1. Losing Ogerpon 2. Failing Terapagos 3. Now losing his champion title/position to the same person who caught both of those Pokemon

[@LostRustedknight]

Many headcanons but here are some. Mostly gen 8 and 9. 1. Serena’s company is called Serena’s Grace; a reference to serene grace 2. Florian (gen 9 male protag) gave Nemona an Applin for the BB League club trade, but she didn’t understand what it meant. 3. Penny convinced and recorded Juliana to do the Akira slide with her Miraidon and Florian and Koraidon to reenact Hiccup touching Toothless from HTTYD 4. Rei remembered his past life as Lucas in Sinnoh, but chose to stay in Hissui. 5. Penny is the reason why Perrin got the photos of the paradox beasts and swords. 6. Dendra and Tulip are childhood friends who dated, broke up on bad terms, but eventually rekindled their friendship. 7. Whenever Penny got a new Eevee, she would do the Lion King pose with music playing from her phone

Thanks to the Pokémon Masters event I’m convinced Larry is worked hard by Geeta because he’s effortlessly strong. Larry always talks about wanting to get battles over as quick as possible but doesn’t like to showboat and when talking to Kabu about training Larry is flat out confused by the thought of training to get stronger. Geeta knows that if Larry ever actually tried he’d be unstoppable. However all his coworkers and even Geeta are just so annoyed at his absolute refusal to put any amount of genuine effort into his job. It also spiraled into a different headcanon that Kabu is the only person who can get any kind of energy out of Larry because Kabu is the only person that can understand the way Larry thinks and speak his language. Motivating him with good meals and relaxing places

[@NikyuOmg]

Some of the cool headcanons i have 1 - the reason why Kyurem-Black can't learn ice punch is because Kyurem just got used to having really small arms and doesn't even try to punch 2 - Meowscarada's favorite song is "Last Surprise" from Persona 5 3 - Grimsley had a pet Purrloin, but the Pokemon just kept sleeping on his lap, which made him lose multiple days of work because he "didn't want to interrupt the little fella's sleep" on his own words. He had no choice but to evolve it and begin using him in battle

My headcanons are; -Whenever a region starts an elite four and league or whatever, all champions come over to check it out and become safety inspectors to make sure it's up to league code like they're OSHA. Maybe they battle them all to see how strong they are, -Blue constantly tries to get Red to join any winter sport events because he's great at all of them due to his time in the mountains. -Grass pokemon are popular when it comes to perfume and selfcare companies, along with fairy types, due to their good smells, which makes the products popular. -Wally loves to watch competitive pokemon and competitions with battling which is how he ended up making his team, he just pulls out a comedically long list of all the meta pokemon in battling at that time whenever someone asks how he made the team he has at a time. -To expand on the extinct pokemon headcanon: There's pokemon sanctuaries for the opposite version exclusions so they don't go extinct! -Nemona and Hau would be friends.

They dont need to be someone extremely strong , just someone who can organize the elite 4 and gym leaders so the region doesnt fall in chaos. Btw I have this headcanon bc I refuse to believe that Steven and Cynthia, two of the most intelligent trainers (and two of my favorite characters), thought that it would be a good idea to let their regions without their strongest force and act like "Yeah nothing wrong its going to happen".

[@shannonreed822]

OH MAN OH MAN HEADCANONS!! 1. Red (gameverse) is autistic. He's one of the most legendary trainers ever because he has pokemon as a special interest. As an autistic person, ever time Red's shown up post gen2 has just SCREAMED shaped like a friend, you know? Especially in Pokemas 2. The reason we don't see Kris in the gen2 remakes is because she is a year older than Lyra and already went on her journey. On her journey she decided that she would become a pokemon professor specialising in the study of how different pokemon react to different times off the day. Her doctorate thesis will be on Clefairy and the moon dance, and will involve in-person research on the matter - once a trainer always a trainer! 3. Lissia and May end up dating after the events of the game. They initially think people may be upset, since both of them have become major contest idols, but actually they get a lot of positive responses - it helps that they're also spectacular rivals in contestry, and their affection for each other was obvious *way* before they actually confessed. 4. Cyrus doesn't age in the distortion world. He stays unchanging for the foreseeable future. While he's there he has time to reflect on why he took the path he did, and why it was *that* path he took, not some other one. 4.b - And at some point, he meets Volo, who has been alive in the distortion world all this time. When they sit and discuss everything with each other, Cyrus comes face to face with someone whose mind is not dissimilar to his own on how to change the world... And finds himself discomfited. Eventually, a long, long time later, he comes to realise why, and to understand the flaws in his plan. Some day, after likely hundreds of years of being in the distortion word, he leaves. He leaves and he sees the world with fresh eyes. He comes to appreciate it, because it's a kinder world than the one he left all those years ago. 5. Hugh's little sister grows up to be a nurse at the pokemon centre. 6. Emma becomes a world-famous detective, in deed but not name. She prefers to live a humble life, and ends up taking in a lot of kids who were dealt an unfortunate hand, giving them the tools they need to succeed and live happy lives. 7. So this one is incredibly common. But. Lillie becomes a pokemon researcher. In her effort to find a cure for her mother, she finds a new aspect of pokemon to study, and becomes the leading scientist on the topic. 8. Swordbert and Shieldbert are not their real names. They have bog standard names like Anthony and Daniel, but their egos made them 'change' their names. The reality is they're in their extended chuuni phase, and are eventually going to grow out of it. 9. The champion rank system is because being a champion in Paldea is an actual, like, JOB. It's not just a title, or a position. You can't actually be the head champ unless you are capable of having taxes filed in your name. She got the position because no one else who could handle the position was willing to deal with all the paperwork and legal nonsense. She doesn't actually enjoy being the head champ all that much, herself, and would much rather be out adventuring. And a bonus one: Silver grows up to take over the Viridian City Gym as a dark type trainer. He actually becomes a very active, well-respected member in the Viridian City community.

I have multiple headcannons, but I think these are my favorite ones: Eventually the PLA protagonist does get to go home, but Arceus allows them to go travel between Sinnoh and Hisui whenever they want, and they can bring their Pokemon with them, resulting in some interesting situations involving a 10-foot tall alpha Garchomp and a McDonald’s. Cynthia’s Garchomp actually hates ice cream but eats it because it doesn’t want her to feel bad. Rei, Akari, Adaman, and Irida are all really close and like to hang out and play truth or dare together. They also have multiple inside jokes and will randomly mention them at the wrong times. Lana does eventually catch Kyogre and nobody believes her. At some point, Ash has eaten paint and exactly 58 cents. Every day, Barry gets a venti coffee from Starbucks with 25 shots of espresso. How he hasn’t died yet, nobody knows. Gloria and Guzma like to get together on Wednesdays and talk sh!t about everyone. At some point, Leon has somehow gotten lost and ended up in the Hisui region.

There is a fervent academic debate going on between all Pokemon professors about which type icons are objectively correct: the ones on Terapagos' shell or the ones on Z-Crystals. 2. At least in my mind, Akari and Rei are also the protagonists from Platinum and the Mystery Dungeon Explorers games. This would mean that they had to deal with the creation trio and Arceus not once, not twice, but three times. 3. Elio and Selene can't play the flute, so Lillie had to do it for them. I know this directly contradicts canon, and I don't care. 4. Nemona has spent all her time between the end of The Way Home and the beginning of Mochi Mayhem frantically looking for a way to get to the Pasio region.

My headcanon of the Tera Ghost Milotic, from Kitakami. There once was a Feebas who hated it’s appearance, wishing to be beautiful. While swimming, it found pieces of Terastal Shards on the bottom floor of Kitakami Wilds’s river. Enamored by it’s beauty, the Feebas searched frantically to know where they all originated from, until it found them flowing down a nearby waterfall on top of Oni Mountain. With the determination to become beautiful, Feebas trekked the gruesome waterfall to reach the top of the mountain. During the journey it got attacked by a Mandibuzz, and was taken out of the river and towards its nest, fortunately it struggled out of it's talons and was set free, but at the cost of sustaining heavy injuries from the attack and the high altitude. Feebas landed onto the water, but was too weak to continue. Before succumbing to it's injuries, Feebas looked towards a glistening light emanating in front of it. It was the Terastal Crystals in the Crystal Pool. Feebas finally made it to the top, but was too weak to move towards it. In it's final moment, Feebas had only one thing on it's mind, "Finally, I can become beautiful." And thus, it was Reborn as a Milotic.

Here's a head cannon I had for a while: The reason why the same species of pokemon learn moves differently in different generations is because some of them don't require the move as much as another (pretty much, they adapted so well to their environment that the speed up, delayed, or straight up loose access to certain moves due to some pokemon of that species not needing to defend themselves) During the galar tournament in the anime, all of Ash's previous traveling companions were betting on whether ash would win. Everyone but Brock and Serena better that Ash would lose, only for ash to win, being so confident that some of them (Irish, Misty, and Max) betted all their money. Fantina (gen 4 ghost gym leader) has an UNGODLY habit of eating Fanta bottles. Shed dump out the Fanta (or give it to her pokemon), then Chew the can/bottle. Shed sometimes swallows it hole (which I imagine her Driftloon would mimic and teach itself to learn the move Swallow, stockpile, and spit up)
