Hi Sibling! Nice To Meet You Laser! Poketherapy And Human Therapy Are Soooo Interrelated! It's A Huge

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.

Sorry… who is Koko? I’m not too erm… knowledgeable about Ultra Beasts, Mr B. Nor are most people I’d assume? Or maybe I’m particularly sheltered…

But that’s a thing- what usually drives fear is ignorance, and what usually drives discrimination is…well, my classes say it boils down to a conflict of resources, but I think it’s meant to be a broad phrasing.

I know I’d love to learn more about your experiences, and I’m sure others will too.

I know I’m only a student, and maybe it isn’t my place- but make sure you’ve got a good support system around you while you navigate this, yeah? I’m sure you’d want the same for your clients.

Good morning, Rotomblr!

Felt a little stressed so I put on some calming music and read through my notes for the past week!

I feel calmer now!

How is everyone else's mornings going? Or day in general if it's later for 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.....

~utility bills~

sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words

What notes are you reading that make you feel Calm?

I was reviewing for my exam and the best it did was restless… Pip put me on mandatory break time.

Up late again. How are you doing with erm… it seems the cat is out? Of the bag, I mean.

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.

I need to follow more Rotomblrs. Spice up my dash with some more variety. RB THIS POST IF IT REACHES YOU and i'll send some asks and traction etc your way, investigate your blorbos.

Wet Bees Wednesday
