I find it funny that golbat is such a dangerous pet to care for, but the only way it can evolve into crobat is if it has a high friendship.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable pokemon? While it's maximum temperature is likely to much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them super soft to touch, but that's not all, they have a very respectable S.Def Stat of 110 which means they are most likely calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day you can vent to it while hugging it and it won't mind. It can even make itself more endearing with moves like charm and baby doll eyes ensuring you'll never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again

[@cypherdastro8105]

Yeah I think when it comes to the pokedex entries it's best to take them with a grain of salt. Like with flareon and other fire types and many other Pokemon the dex seems to exaggerate the dangers or doesn't clarify the pokemon's ability for self control, cause I'm pretty damn sure a good tempered flareon isn't going to burn your house down on accident.

Hey, Hypno don't actively kidnap children! ONE Hypno REPORTEDLY did so ONCE.

Low tier? Yes, still has a lot of difficult behavior and is a little too smart to make good pet material but does NOT deserve the -10 safety; especially compared to Gengar which DOES in fact commit consistent, horrifying murder as a species, right down to the pre-evolutions! I'm surprised this reckless misinformation hasn't yet lead to the near extinction of Hypno, seeing as stuff like this actively causes people to hunt and kill wild Hypno en-mass (again, in a similar manner to the false aggression of sharks or wolves in the 1800-early 1900s that caused exactly that, and still do to this day!)

One thing I think is overlooked is how the Pokémon can control their dangerous parts. Like sharpedo to Brock not rubbing him with their roughy skin, and ash riding on a ponyta and not burning after they trusted him

[@CouchSpud91]

And I know that it was only done to make the video much shorter and easier, but Pokemon can actively control whether or not they evolve and there are a lot of earlier-stage pokemon that would make better pets than their final-stage forms. That's even acknowledged in this video by the fact that Meowth and Psyduck were analyzed over their evolved forms of Persian and Golduck.

[@darienb1127]

One thing I want to toss into the ring is about fire types. A lot of Pokedex entries talk about the pokemon's temperature, but I think it's imporant to note how well it can control the flames, and if the heat is internal and external. For example, Flareon's flame sac can be extremely hot, but wouldn't it have a way to mediate that heat? I imagine it works similar to something stomach acid. Stomach acid itself is VERY corrosive, but we have a line of mucus around our stomach that keep the acid from... well, melting us from the inside out. For a pokemon like Flareon, it would make a lot of sense if it was a similar case. Not to mention, pokemon like Rapidash can control their flames on what and who to burn. Yes, fire is an incredibly dangerous thing to have for your pet, but I imagine certain fire types won't just burn your house down instantly. And then there's Macargo...

Hey guys, did you know… that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

Former Seadra owner here! When my Horsea evolved, I didn't know what to think. The mention of poisonous spines surprised me, if only because I've handled those spikes barehanded before. Guess that solves where all that numbness come from! Something to note about caring Seadra is to frequently visit large, open bodies of water (lakes, beaches, etc.), especially if one is near a coral reef. They tend to sleep in these places easily, and once it wakes up, it'll likely return to you refreshed and reinvigorated. Something to note about feeding Seadra, too; if you see it have its food stuck in its mouth, _it's not choking!_ Seadra swallows food whole, more often than not, and it can suck in food larger than the opening of its mouth with ease! So don't worry too much about dicing up treats for your Seadra. Hope this helps, Mr. McFumbles!

I'm one of the rare people who would rather have a Raichu than a Pikachu and Honestly it's not looking too good. Raichu's dex often mentions it being incredibly aggressive as it's electricity builds and it can only alleviate that by unleashing that electric into the ground. So despite being "Pikachu but chubby" it's actually a lot worse of an option. It's rough but I imagine it'd look like. Housing: 4 Typing: 2 Behavior: 2 Safety: 3 Ease of Care:3 So probably about a 14. It's easy to take care of if you have a big yard with lots of nice thick dirt for it to harmlessly loose electric into the ground. It's a dick when it has too much, and you'll have to be on the ball to notice when it's agitated.

You should take into account that evolution level and age are not the same thing. There's a reason Treecko isn't considered a Baby Pokémon but Toxel is one, and it's because a Treecko could easily grow old and die of old age without ever becoming a Grovyle. EDIT: Never mind, there's a fair few for which you already did. EDIT TWO: Quit conflating "continuity" with "canon". How did Matthew "The Grinch Has A Heart Disease" Patthew get this right but y'all didn't?

[@Zek3nator]

That’s anime, the games tend to imply that without human interference, they evolve as they grow older.

[@LycanMOON]

@@Zek3nator even still in the anime Pokémon do evolve in the wild The whole bulbasaur garden for example,it’s highly likely that both are canon in somewhat form in all canons

[@felixdaniels37]

@@Zek3nator It depends entirely on the Pokemon. Anything that requires outside forces, like Elemental Stones or human intervention, is not a natural evolution. Those can easily live out life in their base forms.

I feel like Arbok isn't that bad of a pet, considering there are snake enthusiasts that keep pythons and other breeds. Plus, they don't get fed every day. They're pretty content for a while because it takes longer for them to digest their food. Especially depending on the size of the meal. I will say not everyone can handle a snake, so fair enough on its ranking. Just like not everyone could have a pet spider, because of their own specific needs. But it is doable.

[@jarredroberts8825]

The difference is real world snakes don't form vendetta's or desire vengeance, Arbok do.

[@DarkwingSnark]

@@jarredroberts8825 You're referring to the one pokedex entry, right? "With a very vengeful nature, it won't give up the chase, no matter how far, once it targets its prey." To be fair, Silver/Soul Silver is the only game that really mentions that. And in comparison to the other dex entries that talk about coil strength, its venom, and the different regions having different markings, it feels very much like the author of that note anthropomorphizing Arbok's actions. More so than being fact, I mean. You can find observation bias in studies all the time. [[You also have the anime with Jessie's arbok making comments about 'no bad pokemon, only bad masters', as well as the fact in the anime Arbok sometimes refused to attack opponents because of something kind the pokemon had done earlier for them. But I understand some people not wanting to treat the show as factual to the game world, and won't say that's definitive proof.]]

[@danielquinlan2457]

Most of the snake breeds people keep as pets aren't venomous though. Arbok is a king cobra on steroids. One bite and you're done forever.

[@DarkwingSnark]

@@danielquinlan2457 ​ Except we know that's not true within the world of pokemon. We see poison type pokemon bite all the time and their victims recover. Heck, within the games themselves the power of friendship can make a pokemon go 'nono, I'm better now'. For the sake of being fair let's say that an arbok bite is pretty nasty. They also have pokemon centers which heal said bites easily. So if for whatever reason an arbok attacked its trainer I think you'd be okay. Making it as bad as the time I had to go to the ER because my cat got scared and bit right through my hand. More preventive care than anything else.

[@gengarzilla1685]

You seem to assume humans have the same endurance and constitution as Pokémon. This isn't the anime, you can get killed if your Arbok thinks you'd be a good meal. Just get a different snake that doesn't have such dangerous poison or such glaring personality issues.

[@ThePorygonBoi]

I feel like some of the fully evolved ones shouldn’t count as their evolution is induced through means that depend on the trainer. All the ones that evolve by way of stones or trading should really only be taking the ‘mon one stage prior into account.

[@CouchSpud91]

I was thinking the same thing, especially since the lower evolutions tend to be better as pets. Machokes aren't nearly as workout-psycho as Machamps and they tend to be used more by companies for strength labor because of it. Poliwhirls are incredibly chill compared to Poliwraths, Haunters care more about pranking its targets as opposed to Gengar's killing, Growlithe is much smaller and thus easier to house and care for, and Vulpix is much more human-friendly (half the pokedex entries even call it "cuddly" and one outright says it'll be close to someone who raises it early on)

[@HeadBodyMasterPersonal]

I love the description of Wheezing as "three tumors trying their best."

[@Flashlight237]

Hypno isn't the only Pokemon that falls under the "Pokemon that will kidnap you" list. Drifloon and Cofagrigus are also on that list. With Drifloon, if Drifloon catches your kids, you'll find them buried underneath rocks at your local cemetery the next day. As for Cofagrigus, just give that thing your girlfriend or an anime body pillow or whatever and she'll immediately become a DeviantART post!

It really does depend on the species. Nobody would say that Clefable poses a risk to your health just because it's a Fairy type, that's utterly nuts. Shiinotic though, all bets are off on that one.

[@crafty453]

Also, if you do get an Eevee as a pet, and love and affect for it to the point it gets 2 hearts worth of affection for you, it does evolve into Sylveon, and that thing can sometimes accidentally strangle you with its ribbons!

[@pommybomber]

At least in some cases with evo items you probably don't worry about them reaching their most dangerous stages. A Nidorino is probably easier to care for than a Nidoking, just be careful about him digging up the whole lawn looking for moonstone.

[@gengarzilla1685]

Even then, Nidorina is calmer. The male evolved forms just can't catch a break here.

[@thesunwillneverset]

This is also a great case for Growlithe & Vulpix, especially. Why evolve them to a form where they're too big for you to house or much more ill-tempered/vengeful, if you don't need to?

[@shorewall]

Honestly, the worst part of having a pet arcanine would be how much food it probably consumes. Since it’s a giant dog, it’ll likely require a ton of dog food. When I had two poodles, a 20lb bag of kibble would last us at least a month or two. In contrast, I’d be surprised if that same 20lb kibble bag would last a week with arcanine
