Ha ha, I actually remember hearing about that trainer a while back. There was a bit of a local joke of the reason why Mega Lompanny is part fighting was to help their partner train up to hold the stone easier. Although it is mostly a joke, I haven’t looked much into the mega evolution phenome, but something I might want to look into in the near future. Espically because most mega evolution is an artificial manor and has been noted to have a visible change in additude for their brief duration (such as Mega Areodtical) and how that may effect them after. Also seeing if outside infunces, like say wanting to support a trainer to improve their strength and stamina, may have effects in how the power through the stone manifests this altered state over time.
The smallest Mega Stone ever recorded was a Blastoisinite found in Kanto. It was the size of a small diamont, and the Blastoise and the Trainer it belonged to informed that they lost it more than once due to it's tiny size, and had to get a custom made headband tailored especially for the Blastoise.
The largest one ever registered was a Lopunnite found in Sinooh. It is the size of a football, and was WAY to big to be worn by the Trainer's Lopunny, and was actually sent to the Eterna Historical Museum in Eterna City.
But unlike people may think, the size of Mega Stone doesn't equal how "strong" a pokemon is when Mega Evolved, tho.

Eevee is the poster child of how wild and varied a Pokémon can develop depending on it’s enviorment. Though Eevee being a common domesticated as both pets and competive most people are only aware of the more immediate methods of evolution such as with stones, however their evolutions can happen naturally over time.
Naturally, Eevee is an opportunist, able to learn and change based on how they can best survive in their enviorment. For example, I’m from Snowpoint, and it has happened time to time that Eevees that had run off or got lost be found again as Glaceons. Now of course, this is not to say a good alternative to revolve your Eevee is to throw them into the woods for a few weeks and get a Leafeon, but being both hunters and scavengers and can learn very quickly to thrive in their new enviorment. Vaporeon, Leafeon, and Glaceon in particular are fantastic ambushes and as such may be very conferrable in big pools, pile of autumn leaves, and a snow bank respectively.
Now the more concrete elemental revolutions, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Falreon, Glaceon, and Leafeon are much more common to see in the wild. Say in coastal areas both Vaporeon or Jolteon can be found with plenty of bodies of water and more rainy weather with mild storms. Flareon tends to be a bit rearer naturally considering their enviorment not only needs be very hot to engage their need to grow warmer with, but also plentiful resources to thrive with, so deserts are not as optimal as many people think it may be for them. In fact cases of wild Flareon tend to be reported very commonly in main land Hohen surrounding Mt.Chimney with it’s already hot enviorment added on to the volcanic area.
Now Espeon, Umbereon, and Slyveon are Pokemon that are much rearer found in the wild. It is noticed that Espeon and Umberon in particular seem to develop by a strong bond with other. Espeon has been noted that they develop a strong sense of empathy, sympathy, and genreal emotional intlegence which may be what be the source of their psychic powers. In the case of Umberon they seem to have a similar strengths, however they are the result of being more nocturnal and adapted to be a night time predictor and camolage in the darkness. For trainers these two eveolutions are very popular, epically for support pokemon with being able to read their partner’s emotions easily and having the bond to know how to attempt to comfort or aid them. As for in the wild, these two happen to occur when an Eevee pairs up with another Pokémon and develops a strong bond. As such they tend to have more symbiotic relationships, of which vairy between what the relationship is found on. A very common sight between Espoeons and Umbreons is that if you see them in pairs, they are very likely romantic partners and are said to have higher likelyhood of being lifelong partners.
Lastly Sylveon is the most interesting to see in the wild. Out of the evolutions here, Sylveon is one that more people have attempted to groom and raise rather than find. This fairy Pokémon, unlike Espeon and Umberon, does not eveolve nesserely from a bond, but from affection. Although many times a Sylveon has a good relationship to trainers of partners, it is shown they tend to eveolve more when they feel very pampered and comfortable. As such in domestic cases, Sylveon tend to be very common in richer owners and although emotionally aware like Espeon and Umberon, may use it to get attention and how to get it. Many people say they make good support Pokemon, and although true, do not be surprised that after doing their job a Sylveon may be bratty later to get a treat. In the case of the wild however, for a Sylveon to develop they would need to see a Pokemon, or even person, that will give their resources to an Eevee and spoil them a bit. Often cases a Pokemon may want to impress an Eevee to attempt to mate or a relationship and may gift resources to them or grooming to form a symbiotic relationship. There are also cases of people feeding wild Eevees regularly develop into Sylveons.
Anyway, thank you for listening to my Eevee Ted Talk

So Gyarados is a Pokemon that is common for competitive trainers around the world, recognized as one of the most fearsome Pokémon out there. Now yes, this Pokemon is very intimidating and powerful with with it’s large size and capable of causing devestating storms, or even disasters, yet most of their infamy is from how they behave and develop in the wild.
In the wild many Pokémon tend to grow and develop through conflicts, say a carnviriois Pokemon such as a Poochyana will grow and evolve as they learn to hunt and take down their prey. On the other hand the same can apply to prey, Pokemon that tend to be hunted grow and evolve from developing their survival tactics to escape predators. In the case of Magikarp, they are known to be on the very bottom on the food chain. A very common fish that’s easy for marine pokemon, bird Pokémon, scavengers, and even people can easily catch and easily take out with Magikarp’s lack of self defense. In fact the only their harder scales, which some may not realize till actually attempting to eat them. It’s not uncommon for young bird Pokémon espically may learn this after getting the kill with the common method to clutch Magikarp with their talons to hold them and then let them suffocate, peck, or even drop the fish for the kill. So if a Magikarp has to develop self defense strategies, they must do so from scratch. To become a Gyarados, then this Magikarp must have VARIOUS near death experiences and be frankly lucky enough to escape active predators. As such when it has the chance to evolve, a Gyarados would have learned that they must be territorial, aggressive, and a need to be brutal with their new power to defend themselves.
However, when a trainer captures a Magikarp to get a Gyarados, in many cases, it is done through a much healthier way. Often when training Magikarps, trainers will give them brief and very controlled skirmishes and let them learn through the trainer’s other Pokémon. Even if the Magikarp may faint, they are consistently shown they are cared for, support, patients, and encouragement. As such dispite their reputation, a domesticated Gayados are much more tame! However they do still shown to be emotional, so trainers do need to have a lot of up keep when raising one, for they need a lot of space, plenty of food, and emotional attention. Although they need a lot, many trainers who take proper care of Gayarods find them some of their mostly loyal and passionate Pokémon to have on a team!
Advice to trainers wanting to raise a Gyarados, make sure you do so only if you are commited to letting them grow up to these powerful serpents and show consistent care for them. In more controlled cases like this they do not take as long as many people think, so it’s very possable for trainers to obtain, just also make sure you give them plenty of space and some money to spare for their large diets.

Hello there, I’m Professor Poplar, and I’m excited to welcome you to this blog! I’m admittedly a professor fresh out of school, but with the start of this blog I’m also starting a new adventure to help out with that! You see, what I want to research most is behavior and conditions of Pokemon evolution in the wild vs domiscation, so for example the behavior of a Gyarados is likely much more healthy domistcatied in a controlled and supportive environment vs in the wild where if a Magikarp can evolve it has learned to be very aggressive to build it’s infamous reputation. I plan on traveling first to Hohen and then Alolah to compare similar enviorments that have an established trainer culture vs a newly developing one.
Oh, I think I’ve gotten a bit too excited about my goals I forgot to introduce myself! Yeah, so I’m Poplar, and I’m from Shino, spesfically Snowpoint. Any wishes to help me not die from the heat on my tropical trip will be greatly appreciated! Right now I have two fine research assistances, Slushy my charming little Snorunt I’ve had since I was a kid, and Valentine (or as she prefers Val) my helpful but devious Murcrow. I will likely gush on them throughout my blog, but I don’t want to keep this intro from being too long!
I hope you all enjoy! Don’t be afraid to drop any of your Pokémon related questions in the inbox, I will be happy to answer the best I can!
