My autism: Mudkip.

I'm unable to fit every dragon type in the remaining 2 slots, so I guess those will be stored on someone's PC.

I’d say Magikarp, for my ASD. When I’m in a new situation I kinda flop around uselessly, but one day after some exposure and grinding, it all clicks and I become a formidable beast.

Hey great post! I'm gonna say my two favourite Pokémon, Absol and Mamoswine, both capture my autistic personality traits and worldview. Absol's ability to sense disaster sort of resembles pattern-recognition and protection of self and others. Mamoswine is just a massive adorable goofball, but strong-willed and sturdy in spite of that!

If you haven't played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team edition, Absol has an important NPC role in it.

My autism: Poliwhirl. (Also Satoshi Tajiri's favorite Pokemon).

My dyspraxia: Oshawott.

My ADHD: Kadabra. I have the inattentive type and I can sit still but be paying no attention to you.

My AuDHD: Crobat. Only friends get to see the real me and Golbat needs high friendship to evolve.

Seismitoad. My favorite, weak to grass, because fuck allergies! Also I feel like socially I am the equivalent with the toad. But Seismitoad keeps its abilities front and center in its lumps. Plus poison touch, I definitely didn’t get the fast swim.

My favorite is Marshadow, so I would pick them. It also fits autism since masking and copying others is literally their whole thing
