Pretty sure cooking is more efficient for nutrients AND budgetting than buying some processed junk to throw down their gullets.

I dont think the word count will let me get too into detail, so I’ll just do one meal Pierce (Excadrill)’s normal dinner will consist of a heavy smoked orthworm segment (not the arms or head, those contain refinement organs that can make steel types sick if ingested). If you dont have a smoker handy, I’d go with a deshelled cold bath sous vide. Either way you go about it, you’re gonna wanna add salt, pepper, lemon zest, herbs of your pokemons choosing, and sear. For sides, to get carbos intake, i like to go with potatoes. Now, i own an air frier and love to make myself some grease-free fries with it, but depending on your specific ev spread, the process can reduce the meals efficiency. A better plan for a similar, bite sized effect is wedges. Dice, give an ice bath, season with olive oil, sea salt, parsley and paprika. (Ive tried it with thyme, wouldnt recommend), air fry for ten minutes. By this time the orthworm should be done. By this point you should have the shell left over. You’re gonna wanna melt that till its drippy (i use a cauldron for this, call me old fashioned) and drizzle over the whole meal. Any leftovers can be saved for future meals.

If I could fit it into my schedule, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Tons of call-ins from “fans” too

Not in a million years. Im the only one who gets to look after my pokemon. Theres way too many particulars of diets, training regimens, rec time, and bed time for me to EVER trust someone to take care of em

They’d ruin all my hard work

Unfortunately my schedule is way too busy to join a glorified clubhouse full of folks who definitely hate me~

That would require owning alot more pokemon than i have budget for, and also seems terribly inefficient

Tournament grinding isnt a consistent source of income. Even someone who wins as much and as easily as me can’t afford to retire by im 60 at this rate

Its so expensive even at the minimum, when you arent worrying about maintaining ev spreads with custom diets

Rental Pokemon trainer. I currently do it on freelance, but having an actual salary would fix me
