...ahem...
"Porcelina", the Golden Gorebyss, she is my very specific mascot. (Technically her current proper name is "Porcelina the Second".)
I first met Porcelina in my White version. I had already had a couple of Gorebyss previous to her, in both Generation 3 and Generation 4, since by then Gorebyss was, during those games, my third or fourth favorite pokemon instead of my number one. I found Porcelina as a Shiny Clamperl in White and I immediately grew to love it. It had terrible stats since it was a wild Shiny, but I still grew incredibly attached to it especially when I tried in all of my power to build the best possible EV build for it (despite lack of good IV's) and I first learned to abuse Shell Smash and Baton Pass with her. I had her as the star member of a really powerful Rain Dance team at the time, and it was probably the most powerful team I had ever built while I was playing my White version.
Then Tragedy struck, My DSi along with all my games were stolen from me in 2011. After that happened I stopped playing pokemon for an incredibly long time.
Fast Forward to this year, I had officially hopped onto the Sun and Moon Hype train in May, and I decided that as a Birthday present to myself I bought a 3DS and a copy of Omega Ruby. Many adventures were had and I had completely beaten most of the game by August. In August, I decided it was time to rebuild my dream team. I bred a perfect Ninjask, Umbreon, Steelix, Breloom, and Chimecho. Then I began the breeding of Gorebyss... I actually intended to breed a normal perfect Gorebyss and name it something different.
However... I won the freaking Lottery. After only a day of breeding... I hatched a shiny Clamperl with a 5/6 perfect IV's. My jaw hit the friggin floor. I seriously partied for the rest of that night.
First of all the really awesome thing about hatching this shiny Clamperl, IT WAS THE FIRST SHINY I HAD GOTTEN IN OMEGA RUBY. Not only was it the exact shiny pokemon I wanted above all others, it was also the first one I had gotten in the game, it was almost like it was meant to be.
Second, it was Female. Porcelina is and always has been a girl, I know it's as simple as a coin flip, but I would have been a little disheartened if it was a male, but it was female, just like I wanted!
Third, 5/6 perfect IV's, this shiny Gorebyss is better than its predecessor, and although I'm a little sad that its bad stat is Special Defense, I just always remember to pull her out of Special Attackers grasp, and she does just fine.
Porcelina II, my current shiny Gorebyss, I actually do carry her with me very frequently within the game. She's currently maxed out at level 100 with max EV's distributed between Special Attack and Defense, with the remaining few dipped into HP. The only time I box her is when I place her in my Battle Box with the rest of my Dream Team. I'm frequently (and currently) carrying her in my party specifically for speed leveling various breeding projects I'm working on. She's a fantastic Horde battler specifically because of using Surf, so I use her all the time for that.
I also use her frequently in the Battle Maison, and have gotten some fantastic usage out of her in competitive online battling, she is definitely not a push over and she should be feared along with the rest of my Dream Team which as a team they fantastically support each other and have each others backs. Porcelina is definitely the MVP though since she does it all, she sweeps, walls, sets up and shares with the other team members.
I have her maxed out in both Friendship as well as Bonding through Aime, and I know it's just a video game but I do feel sort of close with her and I really don't care what anyone thinks, I seriously look at Porcelina as my second pet.
Porcelina II, my Golden Gorebyss, is definitely and always will be my favorite mascot pokemon.
(Once again, I always end up talking way too much whenever it comes to Gorebyss, specifically my Gorebyss.)
