They are the starters for the entire Eastern United States!
I choose Stinkachu!
Skunk.
I will get banned from animal fighting immediately, however, I will also get the people there sprayed, making them incredibly easy to identify and apprehend.
Yeah, that’s right. I’m a mole.
RACOON ROLL ATTACK!
Really missed opportunity for a Roll Out strategy.
It was literally game breakingly strong.
I would name that raccoon Samus
I’ll take smiley.
Raccoon no doubt. The theft stat is OP
no armadillo? pfft.
Not as a starter, they’re new arrivals
Raccoon isn’t getting enough love.
There’s a raccoon who’s obsessed with my barbecue, so maybe I can tame him
Ive been trying to convince my friends its the obvious choice, its got the tankiness of the possum and bonuses to crime
Try throwing a tennis ball that a dog’s chewed open at him and see if he climbs in. If that doesn’t work, throw a rat at him and try again once they’ve faught a bit.
Skunk. He can only do his move about seven times in a row, but it’s Super Effective on basically everything but owls.
Owls don’t mind skunk spray?
Birds pretty much universally have little or no sense of smell. Owls are one of the few predators that actually go for skunks.
Correct!
Great Horned Owls will also eat porcupines.
No smallish creature is safe. Foxes, turkeys, bats, fish, scorpions, snakes, other owls. You name it and it’s around owl size or smaller, an owls will eat it.
Skunk spray isn’t great for their eyes though. Here is an owl in with skunk sprayed eyes.
It can cause irritation or ulceration, and then animals will rub at their eyes, potentially causing further physical damage.
Why would you spray skunk in that poor owls eyes
He looked at me funny after I told him not to.
Thankfully I’ve only been in the building once so far when a skunk decided to blast us. The skunk baby was usually sweet and easygoing, but he sprayed 3 or 4 times in the clinic in a week.
It turned out the one pair of gloves (the orange ones) would freak it out and it would blast whomever was going to grab it. At least it was so small it barely had any booty juice, but skunk smell indoors is no joke. 🤢
The job is its own reward! Every animal bite is like a kiss from our dear Mother Nature!
So our options are:
- powerful but not afraid to lash out at you.
- strong secondary abilities but you will stink forever.
- terrible stats but will not hurt you.
Ya know, I don’t think we should be doing animal pit fights with local wildlife, or at all maybe.
Raccoon wont lash out if youve got the gym badge silly
Have you seen possum teeth. ?
And based on what they eat, I’ll make a guess a possum bite is going to go bad fast.
The thing about opossums is that they are notorious for not biting. Their defensive behaviours are hissing, running away, and playing dead.
Anecdotally, I’ve only ever seen one piece of footage of a caught opossum biting - out of hundreds of videos - and it was because the guy was holding the opossum my the scruff and sticking his finger in its face. This is why i believe those reports that oppossums aren’t likely to hurt you, and why i said what I said earlier.
Tough call between raccoon and possum but I gotta go with my boi possum.
poison/fighting (skunk), dark (raccoon) and psychic (possum… playing possum is clearly a psychic move)
The rock paper scissors works (kinda, not really. dark’s immunity to psychic would either make the rival fight a little harder or very easy. Skunk should be poison /fighting for gameplay reasons)
You don’t think racoon is fighting type?
Skunk so that way I’m not the one getting sprayed. Just have to be mindful of wind direction.
Possum all day.
“Possum plays dead. It’s not very effective.”
“Possum takes critical damage “
Can’t be killed if you’re already dead! :taps forehead:
Trash Panda, GO!
