Gaiien Region: Cotton Candy Deers: Springbuck, Spronghorn

Trainers are reminded that although fairy-type pokemon are typically cute-looking and playful, they are by nature capricious and Springbuck and Spronghorn’s greater mass make them especially dangerous. However, they can typically be repelled by the use of poison, especially the easily-learned Toxic technique.

No brakes on this Gaiien charismatic mammals train. The Springbuck character in the fic used to be a Stantler, an underused and mostly-forgotten pokemon in 2005 (and still so in 2017, heh), but the future brought with it new types and the opportunity for way too many Shakespeare references. Spronghorn, despite the pun on the name of an american artiodactyl, is based on the Giant Eland, which is actually a shy and nocturnal antelope, and reportedly delicious to the point that several subspecies are critically endangered. (I assume they don’t taste like cotton candy, though.)

Russell catches a Springbuck in Chapter 5 of my fanfic, Gods and Demons.
