AITA - when accepting Pokémon into performances, I don’t accept legendary Pokémon (Too dangerous, too big and often expensive repairs take place after. Also why would you force God to do a silly dance. That’s mean.).

I thought Volcarona was part of this. I recently found out that they are intact NOT legendary and are ether mythical or just…Pokemon. What are they!!? AM I AN ASSHOLE?!

(I uh, may have misread what you said and went on a whole tangent. Just skip to the last paragraph if you wanna ignore an infodump about Volcarona and get to the point. Tl;dr, Volcarona are just Pokémon, not legendary or mythical, and for Pokémon they are actually rather average sized. YTA, allow them into contests)

NTA. As a Volcarona owner, they’re like Arcanine: Rare, important in some cultures, and in the wrong circumstances, high maintenance.

If you have any experience with Dungeons and Dragonites, Volcarona are the perfect examples of Pokémon with high wisdom but low intelligence, at least mine is. Nova is very emotionally and situationally aware, but doesn’t know what most human things are and is perfectly willing to nibble on curtains.

Their legendary status comes from old desert cultures in Unova, but despite being discovered more commonly in regions such as Alola, Galarian settlers in Unova first found Volcarona in Unova and gave them a legendary status, before later discovering they not only had pre-evolutions (adorable Larvesta), but are also more common in other regions. However due to colonization and disregard to the knowledge of locals, the precedent stuck. Volcarona and Larvesta can be found in the wild in Unova, but they are far rarer here than any other region. I personally never found a wild one, Nova was instead gifted as an egg from some random guy passing by me on Castelia streets.

In any case, despite having very minimal personality issues if raised from hatching (they’re very emotionally intelligent and respectful as far as I can tell), they do have a lot of maintenance issues. For one, they have a bad habit of overheating spaces they’re in. Good in the winter, bad in the summer when your AC is already working at full blast. As a Larvesta this issue is less pronounced, but Larvesta also cuddle a lot more for heat, and the little tendrils sticking out of them could accidentally contact you and cause some bad burns. With Volcarona those habits become subdued but are still there and are much more dangerous, as now their massive wings are the parts you wanna avoid. But if they’re willing to listen, they should stick outside most of the time and not mind as long as it isn’t raining or hailing or something.

Apart from being a living space heater, the second issue is their shedding. Once a month, Volcarona shed scales from their wings that burn anything they touch, like cinders from a firework. These are normally willingly released for self defense, or once in my case for contest shows, but when shed unwillingly it can be a REAL bad Fire Hazard. Thankfully I have a Cinccino and Dewott (love ya Queen and Torrent) helping me out with cleaning up so that balances out. However sometimes Nova will run into something or be jostled real bad and shed some burning scales, and that’s always an issue. This is probably where the high maintenance for Volcarona comes in.

Then their personality. This isn’t an issue for me, but it might be to you. Basically, their wisdom means they’ll rarely be troublesome for you, but it also means that whenever you’re not directly asking them to do something, they’re probably gonna go off and do something else to not be bored. Like a cat Pokémon. And I can’t imagine how bad it would be if your Volcarona didn’t like or respect you. In that case they probably would not listen to your commands without some serious persuading every time, or you doing something big to earn their trust.

On the plus side, despite having considerable fluff, they rarely need grooming in that respect, as they’re good enough at doing it themself and it’s sorta made from different fibers.

As for diet, Larvesta eat a lot of fruits and berries, and eat a lot in order to prepare for evolution. They tend to prefer well cooked (read, burnt) food, so they’ll tend to burn anything they want to eat before eating it. They can eat meat, but it needs to be extra juicy but also extra burnt in order to appeal to the Larvesta, so they rarely do. They also lick stones in order to gain nutrient from them, like they would in their volcanic habitats. This habit carries over into being a Volcarona, as their diet changes to an almost entirely liquid one. The only real exemptions are charred dust from foods they can’t eat, which should be treated as a treat more than anything, as too much can dehydrate them and cause them to start coughing (and therefore shedding).

As for size, Larvesta tend to be around 3’ 7” long, and are plump adorable little guys that just kinda eat and laze around. They occasionally get into fights for self defense or out of boredom but rarely actively do anything. Volcarona are around 5’ 3” on average, but their wingspan and habit of constantly flying increase their stature by about 2 extra feet. They are also a lot more active, tending to fly around to exert and entertain themselves, but they also spend a lot of time sunbathing as well. In battle they are forces of nature, utilizing their dances to empower themselves and unleash firey wrath that is both beautiful and detesting…

I think after a point I stopped addressing your question and started infodumping about Volcarona. Anyway, you’re not the asshole. While Volcarona are definitely not as bad to care for as other high maintenance Pokémon, they are still high maintenance. But I would in the future recommend you take one in next time you get the opportunity to see if you were missing out on anything…

Also I reread your ask again, and I thought you were a nurse cause I followed your blog but I think you’re talking about Pokémon contests here… in which case you’re the asshole, YTA, Volcarona are beautiful Pokémon with great self control and the ability to make amazing displays woven into fearsome fights. I used Nova in a context once and put on one hell of a show. Sorry my poor reading comprehension forced you to go through a tangent, but also kind of not sorry because you have been prohibiting perfectly good Volcarona to participate in contests. Also I reread your ask again and you said performances and now I must ask what exactly do you do????? Because I am confused.

TL: *To Matthew* ! That's a Nice Costume you have there. ^^ Curouis, How long did it take you to make it?

(Matthew) About a two or three months of on-and-off effort. Whatever two or three months is up to your interpretation. *shy chuckle* the last few months have blended together for me.

“As for candy, it’s been a long while since I’ve had any. I’m not much of a sweet tooth at the moment but suppose a lollipop or two wouldn’t be too bad.”

“What’s candy?” Rose asks

SM: *To Says* Cool, A Shiny Eevee! :D What kind of food do you eat in this forest? :3 / TL: Slow down, Lil Bro. You get hype too much. ^^:

Being already nervous for his reasons, the Shiny Eevee doesn’t like how the Fennekin approached him. …hmm hello, do you know me? I guess not, so be calmer when you ask me something, please! Turns towards the Dewott. Well, thank you, I guess? This little kid should be more quiet while approaching someone!

After sighing a single time, the Shiny Eevee calms down and then replies to the Fennekin. Whatever, for what concern your ask… Well, I eat more or less whatever I can find, berries in particular. Personally I prefer sweet berries, but life is harsh and I can’t be too much picky.

(OOC: Just to be clear, “Says” isn’t the name of the Shiny Eevee!)

TL: So Braixen, Since you're at your new form, What kind of moves do you hope to learn soon? I think the good for you is Psychic since you can do so many tricks with it. And cause my Lil Bro does that sometimes too. X3

“I wanna learn as many moves as possible!! "(First learn how to hold a bowling ball correctly, Braixen)

TL: Nice to meet you, Nick. I'm TL. Anyway, I don't mind the Honey since I want to bring a present to my friend, anyway, What are you dress up as if you don't mind? / Amber: ! If that happend, She would be all over me.. ^^;

(Ask is a reply to https://greedentstripes.tumblr.com/post/632170582208839680/greedentstripes-nick-sneaks-up-behind-amber)

Nick: T.L. huh? Nice to meet you. I’m dressed up as Elec Man from the Mega Man Classic series. A difficult game series and yet, one i have managed to complete. Thunder Wave is one of my favorite abilities, and he has a very distinct and cocky personality in the cartoon, so I decided to dress as him.

Nick turns his attention to Amber, tilting his head. “Who is “She”? Does “she” like honey buns too? Maybe I’ll give you a second to give to her then!

Lucina: Kirlia, I'm curouis, What do you want to do if you were a Gallade? I could see like you being a Gentleman like TL but almost since he's still a silly Dewott. X3

“With such blades I could cut vegetables quite easily! That sounds nice!”

(You’ll have to wait until I draw Gallade well enough so they don’t look like Smurfs, Kirlia!)
