If you braid its hair and get all the way to the end without getting bored and stopping, you probably add 5 years onto its lifespan from sheer joy. When excited, this Pokemon has been known to emit strange sounds outside of the usual alto range. It occasionally understands human speech and is known to frequent the campus of UC Berkeley in search of knowledge, music, and hot chocolate. Its body is composed of wiggles, Greek food, EDM, and a curious choice of (usually English) vocabulary. This Pokemon is almost always wearing interesting socks and loves to discuss comparably interesting socks and where to find them. You can probably even lure it out of its super comfy bed wit...
