My Mudsdale Isnt Allowed To Just Wander Around The Neighborhood Freely. Most Of His Attempts To Take

My Mudsdale isn’t allowed to just wander around the neighborhood freely. Most of his attempts to take other Pokémon are when they wander onto our property, or when we’re riding out for a walk.

I received Mudsdale from a family member who bought him a few months after I fully dedicated to running a ranch, which is when I started breeding Doduo. He was already a 7 year old Mudsdale at that point, and as far as I checked with the local Pokémon Center and research sources, his general behavior wasn’t too far out of the norm…

As far as I know, he was bred for competitive battling but had an injury early enough in life to skew training to be too troubling, so the original owners sold him to a suburban family who kept him alone… beyond that, I just know my aunt bought him from a different rehoming situation and then passed him off to me.

I through the socialization with the Doduo, Dodrio, and a few other Pokémon I’ve acquired would be enough to help balance out his herd nature, but he just started trying to corral Pokémon on walks or that the neighbors let wander around about a month ago.

My main partner (Mudsdale, M10) has been trying to kidnap the other Pokémon he sees around the neighborhood, and I’ve had to return half of them because they’re already owned and just being adopted by my giant mud horse.

I think he’s trying to start his own herd/family, but he was raised by himself, and I’ve only had other Pokémon for about two or three years, so I think it’s just instinct kicking in…

Got any Mudbray or other equine Pokémon that he could buddy up with? I’ve got space enough…

i'm trying to interpret this correctly, but...is your mudsdale just. allowed to wander around other people's properties? i'm surprised your neighbors haven't called the rangers on you yet. it's your responsibility to keep your pokemon contained on your property. even if your neighbors are doing the same, it's highly irresponsible to just let your pokemon wander, especially one as large and powerful as a mudsdale.

it's also concerning that your mudsdale has been alone most of its life. these are herding animals that need company. i'm glad you have other pokemon now, but that is a serious welfare concern.

we do currently have a mudbray up for adoption, but until you address the containment of your mudsdale, we cannot adopt out to you.

Heya! How is your mudscale doin'? Heard that he was getting in a bit of trouble and feeling alone lately!

He’s doing well!

I’ve been spending the last few days giving him some TLC and making sure that he knows I love him. Stoutland’s been cuddling up with him at night too, since I asked him to help spend more time around the big lug.

He still likes collecting my neighbor’s free roaming Pokémon, but I need to have a talk with them about that… the Pokémon seem fine with Mudsdale grooming them and being protective, but they already have homes and some of the neighbors have gotten mad that I haven’t immediately brought them back, so I’m still on the hunt for a few permanent herd mates for him.

I found a partner Banjo sleeping behind the shack at my community pool when I was in a rough depression. The little Lillipup was super sweet, but nervous as all hell, so I didn’t bring him home, since I knew my mom wouldn’t want another Pokémon, especially one she didn’t pick.

About a year after that, I moved out to live with my dad, and I finally got to bring Banjo with me as a real part of my life. He was entirely untrained, but he figured out how to vibe as a house pet pretty quickly.

Now, another year later, and Banjo’s a big happy stoutland who’s currently asleep at the end of my bed. Once I turn my light out to sleep though, he’ll crawl up and lie right next to me like he does every night.
