[ He's doing great trying to train his Veluza it's fine. He's fine. ]

I still have a list of the ones I had success with, hold on.

[Imagine, if you will, a link to a list of teething toys designed for the pokemon like Chewtle, Sharpedo, Gible and the like.]

That is... you were asking for pokemon teething toys, right?
You probably shouldn't use them with actual human children.

[psionicmolotov]

[ THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR, THANK YOU. Not pictured: a legion of absolutely decimated branches unable to withstand an extremely curious psychic shark who isn't disciplined with its powers enough to use them rather than mouth everything in sight. It's like having a puppy that levitates. A very pointy puppy. ]

I have no inclination to raise human children so yes it is a pokemon

Until it can use its psychic powers appropriately it has taken to mouthing everything to discover what it is

[schachmeister]

My Chewtle was already enough trouble when he was teething without psychic powers. I don't even want to imagine what you are dealing with right now. If you are really in a bind, shed flakes from any Steel type pokemon you might have can work too in a pinch.

Which pokemon is it that you are raising? I haven't heard of any Psychic types that go through teething phases, but then, I never actually owned one myself.

[psionicmolotov]

I do have a metal bird that sheds
His feathers will be useful for that at least

[ As a response, he sends Armin a few phone camera photos of a juvenile Veluza usually with its teeth clamped around something or other, never the same thing twice. It is usually in a pond or lake of some kind, but it seems to have no problems straying from the water if it finds something it wants to gnaw one. ]

Most of them are well behaved but this one is too young and enthusiastic to be properly instructed yet

[ripetuto]

carrots. granny in my apartments growing up swore by them for her grandkids. teething Pokemon aren't much different

[psionicmolotov]

Any type of carrot or a specific one [ It might probably slow it down a bit, but he can't imagine carrots standing up well to sharp teeth like this creature's... But, well, he'll try anything at this point. His experience with teething animals is like zero. ]

[ripetuto]

just a carrot. if it breaks it won't hurt them to swallow it

[desirestruth]

Bone.

[Naeva pauses for a long moment.]

Long, thick rope and silvervine, if you haven't bones to spare.

[psionicmolotov]

Most of the bones I have seen are ones only good for cooking
Small and fragile
Not much use for teething. For treats maybe

I will try the rope
I do not know what silvervine is

[desirestruth]

it may not exist in this world but it is a leafy plant with long stalks, similar to catmint. Dried out, it can be wrapped around wood or woven into a rope.

Are we sure it's teething and this isn't a permanent state of being for this pokemon? Many animals need to chew on things their entire lives.

just grow a new hand

it's tasted blood

it's already too late

[psionicmolotov]

If it was simply a matter of tasting blood it would run wilder than it already is

[torinoko]

oh, first time parent?

fill a stick with toffee or peanut butter. Keeps it busy for a while.

This is extremely important. My shoes depend on it.

Re: Text

[psionicmolotov]

It has decided my belongings are more interesting a texture than yours so you have less to complain about

Re: Text

[nevercaught]

Yes but if it destroys all your belongings it will likely start on mine.

[4play]

Your arms, legs and whatever else they're not supposed to chew, in their opinions.

What kind of animal are we talking about? I used to have a dog so maybe I can help.

[psionicmolotov]

Shark
Not limited to water

[ He clearly seems to think that's pretty self-explanatory. ]

[4play]

Oh. Then just toss it some old boot. Sharks aren't picky.

[Guess who's biased against sharks.]

[bloodyroses]

For babies they have these toys that are made of like, plastic

Sometimes wood

You okay?

[psionicmolotov]

This creature needs better ways to indulge its curiosity that dont involve shoving things in its mouth and chewing

[bloodyroses]

It's gonna do that anyway, it's probably better for it to do that to stuff you don't care about.

[islandshore]

How strong's the bite?

If we're talking a Totodile or a Deino, you'll want something sturdy. Gourds. Unripened fruit. Maybe a rock if you're looking for something really sturdy.

Looks like some people mentioned toys. Could see what the local shops have. There's gotta be a market for that kind of thing.

[psionicmolotov]

It has not bitten through anything yet but I do not know whether that is a matter of control or not finding something frail enough to interest it

[ He's looking up those Pokemon...yeah this is actually good advice. ] Gourds may be suitable
It may lose interest entirely if it cannot sink teeth into it
And the heavier ones will make sure it tires itself out

I have seen some
But this is the first time I have had a newborn creature with sharp teeth and no other outlets of indulging its curiosity so I did not pay too much attention

[islandshore]

Depends on the Pokemon, and its personality. I'd say diet, too? Usually teething's just their way of dealing with the pain from growing new teeth. It'll subside eventually, but how long depends on how toothy it's gonna be.

Maybe ask the Pokemon Center? They're probably used to newborn patients. And if they can't recommend teething toys, they might be able to prescribe something to make it a little smoother.

That's probably less ideal, though.
