    Which pokémon, out of allll the existing ones, do you think would make the most accomplished housekeeper? :3 Consider things like a pokémon's type, possible moves that can help out, their physiology and demeanor and stuff like that. Like Mr. Mime in the anime.

    The only one I can think of right now is Illumise. I'm not trying to be sexist by leaving out Volbeat, Volbeat just doesn't learn Sweet Scent, so you can't like Febreeze and stuff with him haha. But the main thing was Helping Hand, and despite what it actually does in battle, I think it'd be helpful around the house.
     
    Hmm, tough question... maybe Plusle and Minun. :3 They look very cute, and make great teammates for each other. Together, they could be a great assist. Aside from them, psychic-types would be pretty helpful, too. Kadabra would be a good choice; with its power, it should be able to plenty of stuff all at once, making it much less of a hassle when cleaning and cooking.
     
    Def a psychic type like Gardevoir. They have close feelings with their trainers so maybe they'd want to work all around the house for you and they can use their psychic powers to do everything quickly and at the same time I suppose.
     
    I think Mr. Mime would be good. Because it's a Psychic type, it can move and clean things easily and it seems to be a jolly Pokemon altogether so he'd make a nice addition to any home. Otherwise, I'd say Minccino or Cinccino. They can use their tails to clean messes up.
     
    I think Gothitelle would be the perfect housemaid, because
    1. It looks like a maid
    2. 75% of them are female.. not that I'm saying that housemaids can only be female :P
    3. Their moves can help accomplish jobs around the house, like Psychic, which they can use to move things around, Tickle and Play Nice could help babysit, and Magic room could,uh, make the room magic? XD
     
    Mr. Mime seems to be the perfect option, but that's probably just because the one in the anime that lives with Ash's mom is so helpful. Going off of that, I could see any of Jynx, Gardevoir or Medicham being useful maids, too. All of them are Psychic type, which would make things easy, and they're all pretty humanoid, which means they'd still be able to do manual things like cooking, gardening, etc.
     
    I think it would be better had you broadened it to 'servant'. Because a maid is most often a feminist term.

    Look out for middle-evolutions. Second stagers. Most of them rightly have the build of an able Pokémon. A first stager (note - most cases) would be either too small or too tiny to be exploited like that. The third stager would be too strong and valuable to set around doing chores, don't you think?

    Psychic types, like many suggested, would be really good help around the house, doing mild stuff that requires some amount of concentration. Kadabra, Kirlia, Gothorita and the others, you know. Fighting types like Machoke could help with the heavy load, the storehouse and the attic. Water and Grass types for the lawn and garden? Roselia, Lombre?

    Though if you think of it that way, certain final evolutions can also be included in the list, a very good one being Mr. Mime, Jynx, even.
     
    Rotom sounds nice, as it can take control of appliances and do the job for you.

    I personally think something along the lines of Minccino could do the job brilliantly. It keeps things ♥♥♥♥♥ and span for you, while you're doing other things. :p

    Swinub can sniff out things with its highly sensitive nose, whether it be food, or something dangerous, like poisons.

    I don't completely know the right word in English, haha, but I think housemaid is the right one. Like Mr. Mime in the anime, in any case!

    Won't 'housekeeper' sound good?

    Like most of the guys are putting it combo of psychic and fighting/humanoid form will do the best. So, I guess Mr. Mime, Machamp and Medicham will be good. In this case Machamp would have done well (probably the best) with few extra heads attached to it. I would be like three persons fitted in a single body. Wouldn't that be a multitasking marvel?
     
    The first Pokémon I thought of was a Machoke cause of how useful that one was in RSE lol but I guess other possibilities would be Kangaskhan (as a parent Pokémon I think it would be super caring around the house); Ampharos, Squirtle, Clefairy or maybe even Magmar who I think would all work efficiently at whatever task they were set :)
     
    I would love to have a Kirlia as my personal housekeeper. With her psychic powers, she can speedily clean up the house and tidy up everything, leaving no mistake or missed spot behind. Gardevoir is a solid option too, but it would feel more like she's actually the owner of the home, haha. And of course, Mr. Mime thanks to the anime showcasing him doing this very thing for Ash's mother. I'm actually not even sure that I would've thought of Mr. Mime as an answer for this question if not for the anime.
