Pokemon as pets ranking

[Zeifyl]

You know what, I wanna join in with a proper nightmare of a Pokemon:

Hydreigon
Behavior: 0/5
Hydreigon is known to actively hunt down and kill anything it sees move, and there are examples of it eradicating villages. It is one of the main contenders of the title "Most aggressive Pokémon", and has the classification of "Brutal Pokémon".

Housing: 0/5
Hydreigon is a very active predator and because of this needs an unreasonable amount of space to move around at. It also prefers caves, so unless your house is literally something like Mt. Silver, maybe don't.

Ease of care: 0/5
Hydreigon will try to kill you if you get close to it.

Safety: 0/5
Hydreigon definitely wants you, and everyone you've ever known and loved, dead.

Typing: 1.5/5 as a Dark/Dragon

Overall: 1.5/25
Don't get a Hydreigon. It will probably be the last mistake you'll ever make.

Can we get a perfect 0 here? It has to be Ghost or Poison and no other type so I can't choose Eternatus or Giratina, not very many pure poisons, Ghastly line not being a pure 0 because ease of care, same with stuff like Weezing...

I don't think so. I think the lowest you can go is either Spiritomb or Hydreigon. (Don't know enough about Spiritomb to score it, but Hydreigon only gets 1.5 due to extreme bloodlust. I assume Spiritomb would be in the 0.5-1.5 range... Although housing might actually be a 5/5 for it. Unsure on that.)
I stand corrected. Muk is a perfect 0.

 

[SlendVeny]

Pretty sure Weezing is a perfect 0

 

[DaReaperMan]

Pretty sure Weezing is a perfect 0

It actually doesn't behave badly and is pretty safe lol

 

[SlendVeny]

It actually doesn't behave badly and is pretty safe lol

It constantly releases toxic gas and eats toxic waste.

 

[DaReaperMan]

It constantly releases toxic gas and eats toxic waste.

It's not toxic, it just smells really bad lol

 

[SlendVeny]

It's not toxic, it just smells really bad lol

"A twinned Koffing that forms on rare occasions where poisonous gases pool. Its two toxic gases appear to be different."

"If one of the twin Koffing inflates, the other one deflates. It constantly mixes its poisonous gases."

"Weezing alternately shrinks and inflates its twin bodies to mix together toxic gases inside. The more the gases are mixed, the more powerful the toxins become. The Pokémon also becomes more putrid."

And by the way, since it's said to be two Koffing, I wonder what Koffing do?

"Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to exploding without warning."

"Its thin, flimsy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes"

"Getting up close to a Koffing will give you a chance to observe, through its thin skin, the toxic gases swirling inside. It blows up at the slightest stimulation."

"Lighter-than-air gases in its body keep it aloft. The gases not only smell, they are also explosive."

"Koffing embodies toxic substances. It mixes the toxins with raw garbage to set off a chemical reaction that results in a terribly powerful Poison Gas. The higher the temperature, the more gas is concocted by this Pokémon."

"In hot places, its internal gases could expand and explode without any warning. Be very careful!"

 

[DontTalkDT]

I don't think so. I think the lowest you can go is either Spiritomb or Hydreigon. (Don't know enough about Spiritomb to score it, but Hydreigon only gets 1.5 due to extreme bloodlust. I assume Spiritomb would be in the 0.5-1.5 range... Although housing might actually be a 5/5 for it. Unsure on that.)

As by my prior post IMO Muk is a perfect 0.

Muk

Type: Poison +0

Housing: Even the traces it leaves behind are poisonous and a single drop would contaminate the water. Additionally, it's 1.3m big and hence needs decently much space. Building a big high-security facility like that is gonna cost. +0

Behaviour: It already gets a +0 by the simple fact that it stinks so much that nobody could get even close to that thing. And any single touch will inevitably make you sick. It's terrible even if it does nothing.

Ease of Care: It enjoys eating stuff that is incredibly polluted. Not nice to get and not nice to handle +0.

Safety: Incredibly poisonous, ruins everything it touches and nobody wants to be near it. +0

Overall 0/25.

Unless you think it deserves points in anything?

 

[BasedNecoScaler69]

Oh boy, this is gonna be a fun one.

Allright, let's get the elephant out of the room, the rules

All of these categories are ranked from 0-5 with a peak of 25 in total

Spoiler: Housing

simple concept, if you're buying a bird, you probably need a birdcage, if you're buying a cat, you probably need a litter box, if you're buying a dog, you probably need a dog bed

If you're buying what's essentially a ******* whale, you need a ******* pool that'll cost multi-millions of dollars. If you're getting a significant other, you need to probably double what you usually get for food and buy another bed and whatnot.

Pokemon who rank highly in this category take little to no preparation to house and pokemon who rank low are usually are usually borderline impossible to house without either extreme damage to your house(example, Raticate) or need so much room you might as well just buy a part of a state(Example: Wailord, Onyx)

Spoiler: Behavior

While even the most nasty of pokemon can be trained to be well behaved(See the amount of gengars people have that don't eat baby souls) this category is to decide how easy that process is going to be, and whether or not you want the pokemon to know where you sleep.

Read their dex entries. If you want to know outside of the anime.

Pokémon that rank highly in this category are easy or effortless to train, pokemon that rank low are going to require extensive training to even get it to stop eating your soul when you sleep

Spoiler: Ease of care

How easy is the Pokémon going to be to groom, feed, and keep clean? Simple concept

pokémon who rank highly in this are either self-sufficient or very easy to care for(Example, Eevee, Venasaur) and Pokémon who rank low in this category eat baby souls and believe me they like those things fresh.

Spoiler: Safety

Will the pokemon be dangerous to you? Often a mix of behavior and typing, this decides whether you're bringing a pretty puppy who couldn't harm a fly(Eevee) or literal magma and flames the pokemon(Magmotar and Moltres are a couple examples)

Easy to rank, very high rankings are usually the work of safe pets who aren't a threat to the most stupid members of your family, and very low rankings are GOING to kill someone. It might not be on purpose, but it's going to happen.

Spoiler: Typing

A simple thing with a simple premise. Each type has a specific numerical value and dual types will be a middle ground between the two types, which means that yes, .5s are a thing.

• Fire: +1 While Fire Types as a whole usually aren't bad behaved or anything like that, what hurts them a lot is 1 big thing: Most Fire Type dex entries go on about how high their temperatures are repeatedly making for terrible housing(Flammable stuff is terrible for them cause it will burn), Safety(Yes, the thing thats like 1000 degrees celcius sure is safe for your well-being), and Ease of Care(Good luck grooming or bathing something that melts the damn brush and vaporizes the water on contact)
• Water: +4 Water types aren't +5 becuase housing one usually varies from Swimming Pool to God damn ocean, shit that ain't common, but their benefits are that they're usually easy to care for and Safety is often a cinch
• Grass: +5 Grass Types are among the most bland types, as such they make for great pets because they're often self-sufficient or just need water and sun, are easy as hell to house, and often times aren't gonna be low on Safety too.
• Ghost: +0 Yeah you know that eating fresh baby souls I joked about earlier in the ease of care section? That's most ghost types, usually scoring 0 in Safety and pretty low in behavior, the only upside to owning one are the fact housing one is usually easy, but when your pet is generally Devil incarnate in personality and Black Hole in Safety you find issues.
• Dark: +1 usually Poor behavior and safety but decent housing makes Dark challenging to give higher then a +1.
• Bug: +1 Most people are afraid of bugs, now imagine the fact these things are often hell to house and have low ease of care and safety and the +1 fits.
• Rock: +2 Rock Types often are hard to house and somewhat low on safety but that's really it, they're not Satan personified and often are self-sufficient. Earning a middle of the road rating
• Ground: +2 You could Copy/paste Rock's Justification here and it'd work. The types usually get paired together for a reason.
• Dragon: +2 The thing with Dragon Types is they're often ******* massive and as such Housing, and Ease of Care dip as a result. Safety is usually mid on them though so... yeah. Low +2.
• Psychic: +3 Having a pet that can do your ******* taxes for you and is probably smart enough to go buy the foot it wants and get a job, Ease of care is usually really ******* high. Housing is usually like inviting another person to your house though and Psychics can sometimes be assholes and that's why they're not +4.
• Poison: +0 The difference between Ghost and Poison is that Ghost probably meant to kill you, but Poison probably did it just by existing, Housing is usually hell, Personality is often bad, and ease of care for eating literal garbage half the time is the literal only minute upside.
• Fairy: +5 oh look, the good happy pink guy type, Personality, Ease of Care, and especially Safety are usually maxed on these.
• Electric: +2 Unfortunately, Electrics often make bad pets because they have this nasty tendency to go into Electric plants and cause chaos plus the fact Electricity as a baseline is dangerous. Usually decent ease of care and housing though.
• Fighting: +1 Inviting another person to live with you that's probably gonna try and sock you at least a few times is not a good time.
• Flying: +3 It's a bird. The only reason flying isn't +2 is because it's basically getting a plane for way cheaper.
• Ice: +3 Usually easy to care for and easy to house, the only issue is safety and that's only because of Elemental properties.
• Normal: +5 Oh look, basic bitch=good pet. Next.
• Steel: +3 Self-sufficient or easy to feed plus decent behavior usually equals positive type.

Now that all of that is over with, pick a pokemon and rate it!

Gholdengo would be the best pokemon as a pet, infinite money

 

[Zeifyl]

As by my prior post IMO Muk is a perfect 0.


Unless you think it deserves points in anything?

Well... I gotta admit I didn't see that post, and also kinda forgot Muk existed. Muk is worth a perfect 0.

 

[JustANormalLemon]

if muk is a 0, Garbardoor probable is a 0 too, weezing too

 

[Epiccheev]

"Do you think Arceus stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?"

 

[BasedNecoScaler69]

if muk is a 0, Garbardoor probable is a 0 too, weezing too

muk and garbodor can eat your trash, which makes them at least somewhat useful

 

[Ret_of_Guys]

As by my prior post IMO Muk is a perfect 0.


Unless you think it deserves points in anything?

Well Muk does eat your trash.
Ash's Muk is also pretty chill and also not smelly so idk

 

[SlendVeny]

muk and garbodor can eat your trash, which makes them at least somewhat useful

So does Weezing, but it turns that trash into gas. Also, remember, these things are huge, so you will need to keep around even more trash.

how would be to have eternatus as a pet?

 

[Imaginym]

how would be to have eternatus as a pet?

Behaviour: 1.5/5
It's not clear if Eternatus does it intentionally -Although the anime has it able to target & control what Pokemon Dynamax & Gigantamax- but its presence causes Dyanamaxing, due to releasing Dynamax Energy.
As its profile says:
Weather Manipulation, Madness Manipulation (Type 2) and Power Bestowal (Its body leaks Galar Particles, the substance which allows other Pokémon to Dynamax. Was the one behind the Darkest Day, an event which generated intense storms and Galar Particles across all the Galar Region, making the Pokémon Dynamaxed from such an event rage uncontrollably. Galar Particles are shown to uncontrollably increase both the power and rage of Zacian/Zamazenta if applied to them as well, even if they can't Dynamax), Energy Manipulation (Can generate Galar Particles), Absorption (Can absorb energy and the Galar Particles in the surrounding area, preventing the other Pokémon from Dynamaxing, can absorb many mystical forces via Cosmic Power and Meteor Beam)

Can The Real World's animals Dynamax as a result of exposure to Galar Particles?

Good news, though!

Sword	The core on its chest absorbs energy emanating from the lands of the Galar region. This energy is what allows Eternatus to stay active.

Unless it can absorb similar energy emanating from the real world, it'll probably, eventually go inactive.

Housing: 0/5
It is 20 meters in height & 950 kg in weight in its smaller form. You'd have trouble fitting it into a garage, let alone housing it.
Put another way, BASE Eternatus is bigger AND heavier than Wailord, which is only 14.5 meters & 398 kg.

Ease of Care: 1/5
Eternatus is kind of self-maintaining, since it absorbs energy to stay active, & as long as it has that, it's good.
However, you probably can't do anything about whether it succeeds in that or not, for better or for worse.
Beyond that, it's probably hostile. Oh & it also causes pieces of its body imbued with its power rain down throughout Galar in the form of Wishing Pieces and Wishing Stars.
So, have fun dealing with meteors, maybe?

Safety: 0/5
This thing is several weightclasses above any human, & big enough that it probably wouldn't notice accidentally smacking/impaling/crushing you.
It's known for causing "The Darkest Day", an apocalyptic event full of storms & berserk-inducing involuntary Dynamaxing for many species when awake, & even when not, it makes what are glorified meteors.
& if it ran out of energy, there's the possibility it might start draining that from your country, given all the energy absorption it does.

Literally an apocalypse waiting to happen when it wakes up, & it's not much better asleep.

Typing: 1/5 Poison/Dragon apparently means a 1 out of 5.

Total score: 3.5/25

Perhaps I was too lenient on it?

Darkest Day is a behavior as well.

 

[Imaginym]

Darkest Day is a behavior as well.

Is it? I thought it was just something Eternatus passively does as a product of releasing Galar Particles.

 

[DaReaperMan]

Is it? I thought it was just something Eternatus passively does as a product of releasing Galar Particles.

I just got an idea, you should do Wobbafet

 

[Imaginym]

I just got an idea, you should do Wobbafet

Does that mean you think highly of my evaluations?

 

[DaReaperMan]

Does that mean you think highly of my evaluations?

Yes lol

 

[Imaginym]

Yes lol

Yayyy. (Presuming not sarcasm.)

Wobbuffet:

Spoiler: Wobbuffet Pokedex Entries

Gold	It hates light and shock. If attacked, it inflates its body to pump up its counterstrike.
Silver	To keep its pitch-black tail hidden, it lives quietly in the darkness. It is never first to attack.
Crystal	In order to conceal its black tail, it lives in a dark cave and only moves about at night.

Ruby	If two or more Wobbuffet meet, they will turn competitive and try to outdo the other's endurance. However, they may try to see which one can endure the longest without food. Trainers need to beware of this habit.
Sapphire	Wobbuffet does nothing but endure attacks - it won't attack on its own. However, it won't endure an attack on its tail. When that happens, the Pokémon will try to take the foe with it using Destiny Bond.
Emerald	Usually docile, a Wobbuffet strikes back ferociously if its black tail is attacked. It makes its lair in caves where it waits for nightfall.

Diamond/Pearl/Platinum	It desperately tries to keep its black tail hidden. It is said to be proof the tail hides a secret.

Housing: 3.
Wobbuffet hates light & shock, & lives in caves & only moves about at night. You could put it in your basement, but it'd probably hate it whenever you turned on the lights, & might try to hide in dark spots.
Behaviour: 4.
Wobbuffet hates light & shock, but will never attack first, only retaliating. However, if its tail is attacked, it won't endure the attack, but go for Destiny Bond. It's also known to strike back ferociously if said tail is attacked. It desperately tries to keep said tail hidden.
Its worst flaw though is if you get 2 together: They get competeitive & try to out-endure each other, & may try to see which can last longest without food. The Pokedex says "Trainers need to beware of this habit.", for good reason.
Still, that's only a risk of malnourishment/starvation IF you let multiple of them get together, & this is a species that's stated to be "Usually docile".
Ease of Care: 2.5
Do you have a dark room you can go without much light entering? Lots of space in it? That's probably where your Wobbuffet will want to stay, otherwise you probably don't have its niche. & as said, keep it away from other Wobbuffet, lights & shock.
Safety: 4.5
Don't attack it, especially not its tail, don't startle it with light, nor "shock" it. I'm pretty sure even a child could follow these rules.
Typing: Psychic is +3 apparently.

(If we consider abilities, Shadow Tag could be an annoyance.)

17/25

But yeah, the punching bag scores pretty high on the pet test. Not too surprising.

 

[DaReaperMan]

Might as well bump this

Kyurem!

Housing: 0. Kyurem is 9'10 and over 700 pounds, combine that with the fact you well be spending a lot on heaters and the fact this thing prefers large caves and suddenly you realize that the massive ice dragon might be a bad idea to get!

Behavior: 0. Between the movie and the games, Kyurem is well-documented to be willing to put children into the ground with little proaction, and being heavily implied to be intelligent, makes this thing an easy 0.

Ease of Care: 5. This is another Pokémon that doesn't seem to actually need any cleaning/food, it doesn't even need an AC because it keeps itself cold.

Safety: 0. Kyurem is predisposed to violence with minor provocations, and is big and strong enough to bulldoze your entire city block into an ice cube.

Typing: Ice-Dragon is a 2.5.

7.5/25. Ease of care does a lot to boost this thing.

someone rate Victini for me

 

[Imaginym]

someone rate Victini for me

Okay if it's me, who's done a lot of the prior evaluations? (Also, glad to be reminded that this thread exists.)

Housing: In the games, Victini can be found at Liberty Garden, an island supposedly bought by an ultra rich family 200 years ago, & which is a place where people & Pokemon can live freely. Victini lives in the basement. If brought there in B2/W2:
"If the player enters the basement of the lighthouse with Victini, it will want to come out of its Poké Ball. If the player allows it to do so, Victini will pop out, look at several areas while dancing and calling out, and then return to its Ball, with a message saying it seems satisfied."

In the anime: It lived in Eindoak Town, where it was a friend of the King of the People of the Vale one thousand years prior to the movies.

IIRC, it was energetic, bengign & elusive; It'd power-up the attacks of Pokemon in battles to significantly higher levels, turn invisible at will....

Anyway, point is, this thing seems to be fine with living alone for one place for centuries in isolation.
It is 40 cm (1'4") & 4 kg (8.8 lbs) so any place should have plenty of room. The fact it didn't cause many major incidents in any of its locations for centuries suggests you probably don't need to worry about fireproofing the place in your lifetime.

Housing 4.5/5 - Give it reasonable living conditions & it'll live alone for centuries. It probably could do some damage, but it doesn't seem likely to unless there's already a fight happening.

Behaviour: As mentioned, other than powering up some Pokemon attacks in a friendly battle -& nobody got hurt then- it's not dangerous, & indeed benign. Heck, its only other anime appearance?
In Pikachu, What's This Key?, Pikachu and his friends visited a Victini courtesy of Klefki's keys. It rescued Pikachu and brought him back to safety as he was falling into a chasm.
Its Pokedex-entries support this:

Black	This Pokémon brings victory. It is said that Trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter.
White	It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it.

Y	When it shares the infinite energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power.

Only about 3 unique Pokedex entries, not obtainable past Gen 7, & it didn't even GET any new Pokedex entries in Gen 7! Does GameFreak hate this thing?!

But yeah. It shares an infinite supply of energy, powering up others, though, being "overflowing with power" could be dangerous for some individuals.

Behaviour 4.5/5 It might make some targets dangerous when it powers them up, but Victini is shown to be helpful, if reclusive. If it causes danger, it's probably accidental or not the aggressor.

Ease of Care: At 40 cm & 4 kg, it weighs about as much as a housecat, & isn't much bigger. As Bulbapedia notes: "Victini's appearance seems to be based on うさぎリンゴ usagi-ringo, a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits"...So it's probably similar to a rabbit. Fur to brush.
It might be less tolerant of any water-based cleaning, since it's a Fire-type, but IIRC, sometimes Fire-types are shown to be tolerant of small amounts of water. Regardless, brushing is feasible, & it's a small creature, so the total area to clean is very manageably small.
It also may be energetic. The facts that it can fly & turn invisible at will according to the anime may make cleaning more difficult.

Ease of Care 3.5/5 It may or may not like water, but it's a small, if energetic, & benign animal. Brushing will probably suffice. Any good food &/or water should also be fine, like with a regular animal.

Safety: As mentioned earlier, it does power up others to very high, "overflowing" levels, but it's otherwise not known to do endangering stuff.
Safety 4.5/5 Again, if it endangers anyone, it probably wasn't deliberately, & it likely wasn't the aggressor. Monitoring a small, potentially flying &/or invisible creature with the mass of a housecat might be difficult, but it likely isn't gonna bowl anyone over.

Typing: Fire is +1, Psychic is +3.
Typing = +4

Total: 21/25

Friendly, helpful, benign small creature that's hard to keep a hold on -Small, & going by the anime, flies & goes invisible at will- that can seemingly live for centuries on its own & rarely does danger except maybe when others it likes are battling is a reasonable pet, apparently.

How's that?

How's that?

How about Corvinight? Since it's a gen I have borderline 0 knowledge on-- Anime or game

And yes your reviews are generally incredible

Sure!
Also, no offense meant, but at times, I wonder how many people rememeber that their favorite badass metal bird has pre-evolutions.

So, just in case they might be relevant....

Spoiler: Rookidee Pokedex entries

Sword	It will bravely challenge any opponent, no matter how powerful. This Pokémon benefits from every battle—even a defeat increases its strength a bit.
Shield	Jumping nimbly about, this small-bodied Pokémon takes advantage of even the slightest opportunity to disorient larger opponents.

Scarlet	This Pokémon is brave and reckless. The white markings around a Rookidee's eyes intimidate fainthearted Pokémon.
Violet	The females are fussier than the males. If another creature dirties a female Rookidee's wings, it'll peck the offender relentlessly in a burning rage.

Spoiler: Corvisquire Pokedex entries

Sword	Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokémon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies.
Shield	The lessons of many harsh battles have taught it how to accurately judge an opponent's strength.

Scarlet	It’s said that the reason behind Corvisquire’s high level of intelligence is the large size of its brain relative to those of other bird Pokémon.
Violet	This intelligent Pokémon will quickly learn how to use any tool it can hold in its beak or its talons.

Sword	This Pokémon reigns supreme in the skies of the Galar region. The black luster of its steel body could drive terror into the heart of any foe.
Shield	With their great intellect and flying skills, these Pokémon very successfully act as the Galar region's airborne taxi service.

Scarlet	Corviknight can’t serve as a taxi service in Paldea because the Pokémon’s natural predators will attack it while it flies, endangering the customer.
Violet	Although its wings have partly turned to steel and become heavy as a result, this Pokémon flies through the skies with ease.

Gigantamax Corviknight:

Sword	Imbued with Gigantamax energy, its wings can whip up winds more forceful than any a hurricane could muster. The gusts blow everything away.
Shield	The eight feathers on its back are called blade birds, and they can launch off its body to attack foes independently.

At 2.2 meters (7'3".) & 75 kg (165.3 lbs), it's huge, although not much heavier than a person. It's apparently smart -Precedented by its pre-evolution, Corvisquire being smart already- & a skilled flier.
Also, it's literally Galar's flying Taxi Service of choice -Picks up the car & carries it-, & might be Paldea's, too, if not for its natural predator Tinkaton attacking it to use its metal for hammers.

Housing:

"Entry or exterior doors must have a height of 80 inches minimum. They can go up to 96 inches in standard sizing, and, again, custom doors could be even taller." - Dec 2, 2020

1 inch is 2.54 cm. Corviknight's height is 220 cm. 80 * 2.54 = 203.2 cm. To house your Corviknight, please get extra large doorways throughout your house, or house your Corviknight outside.
Maybe a garage since they're apparently domesticated & willing to carry occupied cars?

You'll probably still need to clean it, so maybe the garage is better. I'm not sure it'd appreciate a birdcage anyway.

Housing: 2.5/5 You can keep it at your house, in the same way that you can keep a car at your house; Try to bring it into your living room & you'll likely run into sizing issues.

Behaviour: It's unlikely it maintains its Rookidee behaviours, but apparently will challenge any opponent to grow stronger, even from defeat. Also, female Rookidee are "fussier", & if another Pokemon dirties a female Rookidee's wings, it'll peck at them "in a burning rage". Corviknight's own wings have "partly turned to steel and become heavy as a result", so who knows if it still gets angry about wing dirtying.

Corvisquire can accurately judge opponent's strength thanks to harsh battles, & are known to pick up or fling rocks as well as use wrap up enemies in rope, & can apparently "quickly learn how to use any tool it can pick up in its beak or hold in its talons".

Corviknight are good taxi carriers, who fly while carrying taxis by their talons. So it's safe to say it probably knows how to fight good, & care for a taxi & a customer, & is likely domesticated enough to not attack you.
Though it might be fight-happy if pre-evolution behaviour is any precedent.
Oh, & since Tinkaton prey on it, don't let it see any big hammers, & don't let rocks get launched at it. But the latter should go without saying.

Oh, & ravens are omnivores. Try not to let it attack local small animals. But as a domesticated species, it probably doesn't do that.... But like a dog, there's the risk it might. Unlike a dog, it's a 76 kg, skilledly flying intelligent bird; How do you stop that from trying to gore a local squirrel?

Behaviour: 3/5 Seemingly domesticated & learned in battle. As long as you trust it not to get in fights or trust it not to immaturely get in a fuss if its wings are dirtied, it's probably reasonably passive, maybe even protective. As its likely an omnivore, beware of it possibly attacking small animals, for preying or otherwise.

Ease of Care: It is taller than you likely are, has "heavy" metal wings, with many "feathers", & is 76 kg total.
You probably need to give it as much food as a medium-large dog. Luckily, like real ravens -& to a limited extent, dogs, which can handle limited non-meats in their diet- ravens are omnivores. So feeding bill probably isn't too expensive. Cleaning partly metal feathers/wings may be difficult. Do you need a brush or polish? Both? Rust remover? It's apparently high-quality metal given Tinkaton goes after it for their precious hammers.... You may need a stepladder or something to clean the higher parts, & you should hope its wings don't move too much -Ex: Flapping restlessly- lest you get smacked, or worse, cut by sharp partly metal wings/feathers.
At least ravens preen themselves, but they can presumably only reach so much themselves.

Ease of Care: 2/5 It's probably well-behaved, preens itself, & eats anything, but a mix of steel & non-metal may be tricky to clean safely, & being a huge, intelligent, skilled flier, it may be difficult to keep your hands on it.

Safety: Implied to be domestic, doesn't work as a Flying Taxi in Paldea, likely by human decision because it isn't safe for Corviknight & thus its customers. As long as you mind it possibly being an omnivore, the risk of it being aggressive or fight-happy like its pre-evolutions -Rookidee especially, which, if female, also show a tendency to get aggressive to those who dirty their wings- it's probably safe?
Keep it away from thrown rocks & big hammers, given it likely has instincts related to such things.

Safety: 3/5 If it weren't seemingly domesticated, it'd probably score lower. IRL, many people either already know, or learn not to pick fight with corvids, as their intellect makes them capable of not only holding a grudge, but spreading that grudge to their flock. Getting the ire of supersized, part metal, likely smarter, & superpowered corvids isn't a beef we need with these big-bodied, big-brained "beef eaters".
Oh, & if you have the means to Dynamax/Gigantamax it, it probably goes without saying that you shouldn't don't want that to happen, for safety's sakes. Hurricanes & all that.

Typing: Flying & Steel are both +3.
Typing: +6.

Total Score: 16.5/25

You could do worse than a 220 cm partly metal raven -That is thus likely an omnivore- with a regional enemy. Some real people keep real ravens as pets & they can apparently even learn limited human language. This one likely even knows how to carry you & your car to work.
If you don't have a car, maybe it can carry you on its back or by its talons!
But you probably can't keep it anywhere but your garage or your yard unless you get big doors & don't mind indoor big bird cleanup. Speaking of cleaning, mind that you don't get smacked by apparently heavy, partly metal, possibly sharp wings/feathers while cleaning what Corviknight doesn't get with preening. You may also need something so you can reach the heights of its upper body, too.

Can someone rate Piplup for me

Should, I? Must I?
I mean, I've done many already this thread, 2 alone today, so I'd like it if I didn't hog all the stuff.
Anyone else willing to tackle this task, please?
