This small pooch is always ready for a fight, no matter the size of its opponent.
In the wild, a lone Zapom can easily mug a human of their food. However, they will quickly be tamed if offered food first.
Physiology:
Body Type: Stance: Quadraped Height: 10 inches Length: 9 inches (not including tail) Weight: 8lbs
Zapom are small, ankle-targetting dogs that are extra fluffy. Their tails are oddly shaped - sort of like a bolt of lightning, yet also curved on one side to curl onto their back. Pointy little ears poke out from their fur, and they have a short snout. It is not uncommon to find an overweight Zapom, but their natural body type is small and short.
These pups exhibit sexual dimorphism. Males are normally a bright yellow with black stripes, while the females have a softer, paler yellow and an additional black stripe on their hindquarters. On rare occasions, a male might be found with it's colors reversed - all black with yellow stripes. And rarely a female might be found to be all white with black stripes.
Habitat:
Found basically anywhere that is inhabited by humans. Zapoms are accustomed to living out on the streets in the wild, but will live in the homes of people that feed them. While they could very well hunt, they have had a taste of the human foods, and desire that more.
Behavior:
Zapom are normally quite feisty despite their size. They will especially exhibit aggressive behavior if they are hungry and fighting something else for food. Even tamed, they can be quite a bratty creature, wanting everything to go the way it wants it. When they have a strong connection to a human, they can be fiercely protective. However, it is unclear if they are capable of loyalty, as they are easily swayed by food.
When angry, their fur puffs up to make them look bigger, and they bark incessantly. While trainable out of bad behaviors with food, they do have a tendency to go after pantlegs, shoelaces and ankles. It has been observed that they can get small articles of clothing stuck on their staticy fur, which can occasionally scare them and cause them to zoom about the house. When they are zooming, they are difficult to catch until they tire themselves out.
Diet:
While proteins are important to their diet, Zapom will eat all sorts of things, especially fried foods that humans eat. They do tend to not like vegetables that much, often spitting them out and looking offended and disappointed about it. Junk food is not good for them, but that does not stop them from wanting it. It is recommended to make sure that if you are an owner of a Zapom, that you make sure they get plenty of exercise to make up for any of the unhealthier foods they might have eaten.

A well trained Stormoyed makes an excellent service dog with its boundless energy and eagerness to work. The trick to training them is plenty of praise.
When in a pouty mood, Stormoyed sit with their back to you, ignoring your commands until they get their way. They are more receptive to praise than food.
Physiology:
Body Type: Stance: quadraped Height: 2 ft. 6 in. at shoulder (male) Length: about 4 feet long, including a bit of tail (male) Weight: 110lbs
Stormoyeds are fluffy quadraped canines. Their fur is longer and stance taller. Females are only a few inches smaller than males usually. Males are typically bright yellow with black stripes, paws and belly, but rarely can be found with their colors reversed; all black with yellow stripes, paws and belly. Females are usually a pale yellow with black stripes, paws and belly with an extra stripe on the hindquarters; rarely, females are found that are all white with the same black patterns. They have a strong, wedge-like tail which can be a hazard sometimes, though it usually stays curled over their back.
While quadraped, they can still use their tail to hit devastatingly hard, as well as deliver some kicks. They also have a formidable bite.
Habitat:
Even evolved, Stormoyeds still prefer living in human inhabited areas. A much more friendly dog than its previous evolution, it enjoys company much more, though food is a nice bonus. They are not as common on the streets, since usually they would have found their homes and owners by now. For ones without owners, they tend to be found lurking about dojos, gyms and temples. A wild Stormoyed will often take it upon itself to guard certain areas from mal-intent, or sometimes simply, to warn off other pokemon from their territory.
Behavior:
Stormoyeds, while a lot more friendly, tend to be a lot more needy. They are eager to be used for work, and want to be active. When in a home, they alarm bark to alert their owner. However, when left alone for long periods of time, they can become nuisance barkers as they become restless. They long for physical attention - even wild Stormoyeds exhibit this behavior. They respond very well to praise and affection, more than food. They tend to love children and are very energetic. Stormoyeds may try to herd other pokemon and sometimes small children. As they are highly sociable, it is very rare to come across one that is vicious, as it has become a learned behavior that when they are good, they are given delicious snacks and praise. They strive to be their goodest, and when put to work, will work hard and for as long as needed. Untrained Stormoyeds are quite independant, doing whatever they would like rather than what they are told to do.
Diet:
A protein rich diet is the base necessity of this dog, though it certainly likes delicious fatty meats. They will often hunt down smaller rodent pokemon. They still like any human foods they can sneak or be fed, however. Owners should beware to not make it a habit of feeding table scraps, or they might have issues with keeping food on the table at some point.
Breeding Information:
Egg group: Field Gender Ratio: 50/50
Stormoyed Females like a strong male that can provide. She will usually choose to be with the male that brings her the most food, however. Stormoyeds are not mates for life; These things can be fickle.

When on guard duty, Mastibolt will bark at invaders so loudly that it can be mistaken for a thunderclap.
Mastibolt will take to laying and sometimes even sitting on their owners to protect them. Luckily, they have plenty of fluff to act as a cushion.
Physiology:
Body Type: Stance: Quadraped Height: 5 ft. 8 in. at shoulder (male) Length: 7 ft. 10 in. including tail (male) Weight: 350lbs
Massive, fluffy canines that have fur that obscures their vision a bit. Pointed ears poke out at the top of the head. They have a very muscular body tone and extra fluff around the neck and chest. Their tails have grown less jagged and more like a curved blade, as well as being really powerful. Males are bigger than females, and in Mastibolts, this is more noticeable. Females tend to be about a foot shorter than males, sometimes giving them a more nimble body. Males are usually bright yellow with black stripes, paws and underbelly- though rarely males can be seen with the colors reversed to be mostly black with yellow accents. Females are usually seen with a pale yellow color with black stripes, paws and belly; rarely females will be pure white with black accents. Their giant paws are exceptionally good when kicking and digging, and their jaws are frighteningly powerful.
Habitat:
Wild Mastibolts are rarely ever seen, but will inhabit areas of great importance to humans. Tamed Mastibolts can often be found walking their human owners or guarding homes. They will also guard temples, dojos and gyms, or wherever they have taken up residence.
Behavior:
Despite their massive size, Mastibolt tend to be rather mellow temperament when there is no threat. There is almost nothing they enjoy more than guarding something they have assumed they are in charge of, including their human. They are fiercely loyal, especially to their owner. It will take them a bit of investigating before they will trust strangers around their charge. They approach new people with caution, but when they determine they are okay, they might want to play. They often use their size to intimidate as they feel the need, but are otherwise not violent. Mastibolt tend to act like they are in charge, often taking charge of things. Sometimes they will decide to protect something that they have assumed control over. This can make playing fetch difficult at times.
Diet:
A lot of food, particularly high in proteins and the good fats. Because of their sheer size, they must eat a lot to keep their energy up. Mastibolt owners that are unprepared often struggle to keep them well fed. These dogs are excellent hunters, however. It is said they can even overwhelm Ursaring, Pangoro and Bewear in the woods. They do still have a preference for human food though, and will get into the trash. If they have not been trained not to beg for table scraps, a Mastibolt will simply just take food right from the table, even right from your own hands. A well trained Mastibolt will only eat when it is given food. Wild Mastibolts that take residence at places such as temples will hunt and eat invading pokemon and any offerings that might be made to them for their guarding services. They do enjoy a good cronch on a bone every now and then.
Breeding Information:
Egg group: Field Gender Ratio: 50/50
Mastibolts mate for life. Gone are the days of dogging around. Once a female picks her male, they will remain a pair for the rest of their lives, committing to protecting each other and the family they create. Females will usually choose a male that provides as well as guards very well.
