Oh my god… they’re CUTE!
Big coral like creature … I wonder if they’d want to be friends………….
Pokerating Day 17, Stakatakakatatakatakatakakataka
Charm: Honestly, while being a cool looking mon (gonna refer to the ultra beasts as pokemon for simplicity), it's also strangely cute when you realize its like... 100+ organisms in a trenchcoat. Each "brick" of the stakataka, sometimes jokingly called "taka" as I will be referring to them, is it's own organism. It's kind of like a coral when you really think about it. 10/10
Care: So, this is one of the least understood ultra beasts. We do not have documentation of it's ultra-space dimension. Anything here will be speculative, so ignore this rating if you only want cold hard facts. Stakataka is most reminiscent of a coral, as it is a colony of individual stone-shelled creatures. We can assume that each taka (brick) has a separate internal biology, so it would have to eat separately. This usually lends best to filter-feeding, buuuut stakataka has no real prey that it COULD filterfeed that we know of. It is likely, at least partially, carnivorous, as most similar creatures are, and I would theorize that they hunt other rock-types via ambush. This is an incredibly slow organism so it is NOT an active hunter. I would guess that one or two taka take watch while the others pretend to be a brick wall, and then they send a signal to ambush when something gets close. Overall I have to do a ?/10 though, since this is all speculative. A stakataka is also FUCKING MASSIVE. You're gonna need like several acres of land for it and LOTS of prey.
Safety: One taka is probably harmless but a full stakataka? No. 0/10
Utility: Field move data on these pokemon are... limited, to say the least. Both due to their discovery in Alola, a region that doesn't use field moves, and due to being exceedingly rare, we have no confirmation on what "HM" moves they could use. I would *guess* that it could learn cut, rock smash, strength, and MAYBE rock climb. Despite that, this fella(s) is (are?) essentially a mobile brick wall. You could easily set up a tarp over one and be safe if it likes you. ?/10 though regardless sadly.
Battle Potential: Damned by its type. Just like the many rock/steel types before it. I already went over this type not to long ago, but to simplify, double weak to fighting and ground, two of the most common offensive types, is damning. It's still alright, and if it can get going, setting up an iron defense or something so it can bodypress harder or setting trickroom, it can certianly put in work, but when other more common mons exist it's hard to justify. 4/10, I think it could do better in the future if a move or ability that makes trick room better is found, but right now it's just impressively slow.
Final Ratings:
Charm: 10/10
Care: Data Insufficient
Safety: 0/10
Utility: Data Insufficient
Battle Potential: 4/10
Final Notes:
Those totally legally obtained documents I got access to helped on this one but even those can only do so much. I love calling the little bricks "taka", in fact, if we said taka for each taka in a stakataka it'd look like staka....

That almost looks like one with the T's I accidentally capitalized. Anyways its rumored to be roughly 150 takas per staka.
ITS SO CUTE HAHAHAHHAHAAHA
IT JUST POPPED OUT, HOVERED FOR A SECOND, LOOKED AT ME, AND THEN FLOPPED ONTO THE TABLE LMAO
I just want to ask you to take a moment to breathe and to admire yourself for getting through this past week. I know it had its moments. I know it must have felt pretty hard at some points and you just wanted certain moments to be over. And now it is. You did it. It’s behind you and I’m so proud of you.
Cool xD
Ooo I’m glad you rest and relax- what do you do that relaxes you? :)
( @poketherapist-in-training )
Morning! What are you up to today? I just had a crazy experience myself x)
Nothing really!! Getting back into form for the week, mostly, haha.
Oh ?? You wanna elaborate, or??
⚽️
Big mood! It's my career and passion! :D
My sibling is @newcomer-karp! They wanted me to join them cause they were tired of having to physically show me the cute pokemon posts on here and wanted to be able to send them to me directly...
But it also seems cool! And I'd love to participate and get to know more about the wider world.
I am a therapist in training! I attend Uni for my psych degree! My partner pokemon is Pippy the Chancy (the name made more sense when she was a happiny...but oh well). You are required to have a Chancy to apply for the psych degree, but I happened to already have her ;) She's my icon! In both the literal and blog way.
Pelipper mail: On!
NOTHING ON THIS BLOG IS MEDICAL ADVICE! FOR LEGAL PURPOSES! AND LIKE ACTUALLY IM STILL IN SCHOOL!
But hey, if it helps, it helps!
Me and Pippi are back on that grind!
Pippi accidentally kidnapped Pi… so we’re giving Pi a tour!
Erm… @newcomer-karp just in case you were wondering where she went!
Man. Yall remember being young and feeling like you knew everything? I miss that boundless confidence.
//Ellie’s been reading @shilo-sumac’s blog in whatever way makes sense xD enjoy the vague post.
sick and tired of seeing these ace trainers brag about their super smart badass level 100 shiny mons.
This is Sol. She is a fucking idiot. She regularly forgets that she is a flying type and sits at the bottom of cabinets n such crying cause she doesn't know how to get up. I would die for her.
Awh idk I think he’s kinda cute. The tubes are weird but his lil banana face is charming.
Pokerating Day 20! Heatmor!
Charm: Kinda just ugly as much as I hate to say it. It looks like a fast food advertisement sign. It's also notably bald, and the weird tubes just look gross. They look like its internals have externaled. It also makes a room smell burnt just by being there. I think this is an actual 0/10. You can't even watch it's natural feeding habits cause trust me when I say you don't wanna raise a supply of durant just to feed this thing, and even if you DID it would just be it sticking its snout in an ant hole and breathing through its ass.
Care: More difficult than its worth. Not only is their natural wild food really difficult to culture (and, honestly, a more interesting pokemon), but they're also picky eaters. They tend to just incinerate food they don't want. It was very recently discovered that they're particularly picky about texture, and that boiled egg is a good way to get around that, but that means having a consistent supply of eggs which is fairly difficult in some places. It also needs them cooked, since if it tries to cook it the egg will probably pop. 3/10? Sounds like a reasonable enough score.
Safety: It's presence is enough to set off smoke alarms, and it can easily light your shit on fire by just licking it. It also has bigass claws and a fairly grumpy attitude. 3/10 carbon monoxide poisonings.
Utility: Good for removing durant populations. Like any other fire type. Can learn dig, cut, and rock smash. Mid. Not even good for a fire type's typical utility IMO. It's like 4 1/2' tall, just go catch almost any smaller fire type and I bet it can do the same without being so difficult to keep. 4/10.
Battle: This is a poor pokemon for battling. Lets go over the positives first, wide moveset, and a decent ability in flash fire. Now the negatives: it's in that perfect speed range to be too slow to outspeed much, yet too fast for trick room. It's also pretty frail with a poor defensive type, and has nowhere near enough oomph to actually hit hard with the wide array of moves it can use. It also takes increased stealth rocks damage. 2/10, there are definitely worse pokemon out there but for a fully evolved pokemon this thing is just so mediocre than any other fire type is better in some way.
Final Score:
Charm: 0/10
Care: 3/10
Safety: 3/10
Utility: 4/10
Battle: 2/10
Total Score: 12/50
Pet Score: 6/30
Battle score: 6/20
Notes: I feel bad bashing on this thing but it really just has no good qualities. Its a moderately disturbing (and ugly) pokemon that I would prefer to never see again.
Again, this rating is inherently biased just like every other thing made by any organism ever concieved, so if you love this thing? Good on you. I respect you for finding joy somewhere where I can't. Don't let my words change your opinions and stay you!
Huh… I can’t say I’ve heard the phrase, but I AM chronically offline x) What kind of adult content are we talkin here?
Rotomblr after dark!
Post your.....
