Raccoon for sure. Sure possums are cute, but raccoons are smart and adorable and mischievous
Coons have hands just sayin
Possums eat spiders. So there’s that.
I choose Stinkachu!
RACOON ROLL ATTACK!
He’s gotta go. He’s gotta go fast.
I would name that raccoon Samus
Really missed opportunity for a Roll Out strategy.
It was literally game breakingly strong.
Skunk. He can only do his move about seven times in a row, but it’s Super Effective on basically everything but owls.
Ugh, why am I a badger main?
snakeophobia?
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!
What? You don’t have rats? Or is that thing in the back supposed to be one?
That’s a possum, it’s our continent’s marsupial. They’re adorable
Rattata is the first encounter on road 1
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 fought a bit.
They are the starters for the entire Eastern United States!
Raccoon no doubt. The theft stat is OP
Possum all day.
Tough call between raccoon and possum but I gotta go with my boi possum.
Trash Panda, GO!
Starters?? You fool, those are regional legendaries! Do not approach them! You don’t have the skills!
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.
