Flareth

#136.5
Fire
Flaming Pokemon

Flareth was believed to be an evolution of Flareon hence its Pokedex classification, but there has been no discovered way to evolve a Flareon into a Flareth. Flareth tend to appear around wild Moltres. There is a theory that they may be a ressurrected Eevee or Flareon similar to the common theory of the Johto legendary beasts, or possibly a different Pokemon entirely.

Physiology

Despite their appearance - Flareth are very surprisngly soft Pokemon. They are quadrapeds with a pair of dragon-like wings, and with scales on their face. Their eyes are completely black, and they have rather sharp claws. Flareth have a firey mane and tail.

There has been video captured of how Flareth seem to be formed. They appear from the earth as a molten blob of fire and form into their fuzzy form over the course of several weeks. Removing a Flareth during this forming process results in their eventual death - so it is believed that they perhaps need to be around other Fareth or Moltress and be in an extremely hot environment.

Obtaining

Flareth have only been found around Moltres dens. It's very up to chance if a Flareth will appear in one, usually taking years of a Moltress inhabiting a den and only in dens which are closer to the ground rather than being higher in the mountains. These are rare for Moltress dens, increasing the rarity of this Pokegod.

There have been three sites where Flareth may form - one north of Kanto/Johto, one east of Kalos, and one in Oblivia. The sites in Kanto/Johto and Kalos are available for visiting, but are known to have powerful Pokemon. The site in Oblivia is protected by the ranger association which makes it one of the only places with undisturbed wild Flareth.

Raising

Flareth seem to form close pack ponds with other Pokemon both in the wild and when captured. Flareth are very affectionate and need a lot of attention, and also a lot of oppurtunities to battle and space to learn about their trainer and judge for themselves if they'll be good companions. A Flareth with a trainer it deems unworthy will completely stop obeying their trainer.

However a happy Flareth is a good companion, and they're known to be good with small Pokemon or even children. They'll often press against people or POkemon they like and allow them to ride or sleep on them. Even in the wild, it takes a lot to provoke a Flareth and they are known for their hardiness. They are one of the most affectionate Pokegods overall.

If trained right, they can be stronger than most other Pokegods. This usually leads to them being banned in official battle competitions.
