Thank you for your advice! One brave little wild Taillow from the park came up to my Haxorus and started playing with her and sometimes picked berries for them to share. We have revisited the park many times and the same taillow keeps coming back to her. Is it a good idea to catch this Taillow if they are getting along so well? And Could this show other trainrs that my Haxorus is gentle and kind?

It’s certainly uplifting to hear that your haxorus has made a friend!

To answer your questions in reverse, it’s very likely that this will show other trainers that your haxorus is kind. It’s difficult to argue against that idea when you have a large, intimidating pokémon treat a small, fragile-looking bird with respect and gentleness. Of course, it’s worth it to note that humans are unfortunately complex, anonymous, and sometimes, even when presented with overwhelming evidence of a certain point, human beings have a habit of refusing to believe the obvious. (Politics is a great example of this.) Nonetheless, while it may not convince all humans, I have no doubt that it will convince some of them, and once you can convince some humans that your haxorus means no harm, you can build up your haxorus’s connections from there.

As for whether or not you should catch that taillow, that may be up to the taillow itself. If it wishes to spend more time with your haxorus, it would be worth offering it a home. If, however, it prefers to live in the park, allow it to continue living in the park, but keep an eye on it. If another trainer catches that taillow, make an effort to befriend that trainer so that your haxorus and that taillow can continue being connected to one another. Alternatively, continue interacting with that taillow but make it clear that it will always have the option of coming to live with you if it so chooses.

Good luck, anonymous, and good luck to your haxorus too!
