Every Pokemon is interesting and worth talking about. I don’t play a ton of Pokemon, but I do enjoy the universe and I love learning more about the creatures in it. So, Here’s Another Pokemon! It’s Luvdisc!

If you ever visit the Pokemon universe and come across a large ocean or body of water that seems to be covered in a giant pink mass, be careful. You have just stumbled upon a giant group of Luvdiscs breeding. Technically calling this an orgy is a bit incorrect because Luvdiscs breed through spawning and not humping, as scientists say. But they do group together and breed, so I’m choosing to count that as an orgy. It’s close enough.
Luvdiscs are heart-shaped creatures who live in shallow warm water. They mostly live in and around coral reefs and are in close proximity with another Pokemon, Corsola. They also get eaten by the bird Pokemon Pelipper. That’s not surprising. I mean look at this thing. This is not a creature that can really put up a fight. It lacks any poison or sharp spikes. It is basically a floating meal for anything with a big enough mouth. It is a miracle they aren’t extinct.
According to Pokedex entries, Luvdiscs are known for finding couples who are in love at beaches and then just swimming up on them. Which is a bit creepy. Why are you stalking people making out, Luvdisc. You pervert. However, many couples see this intrusion as a sign of good luck. It is said that if a couple is approached by a Luvdisc they will have a wonderful relationship that will never end. This belief is so strong that some hotels will release Luvdiscs into their pools and beaches, I guess as a selling point to couples.
“Hey honey, I found a great deal on this hotel that chucks Luvdiscs into the pool every day. They also scoop the deads one out every night!”
Favorite Fan Art
I love this piece of fan art for two reasons. Number one: it shows that in the oceans of the Pokemon world, Luvdiscs are easy meals and probably die by the truckload. Reason number two: It paints a creepy picture of how dangerous the seas and oceans in the Pokemon games must actually be. I wouldn’t swim in them.
Random Facts
- According to a Pokedex entry on Bublapedia, Luvdiscs are sometimes given to significant others as a gift. It doesn’t specify they are kept alive. This all seems a bit dark.
- Two Luvdisc kissing can actually fly. This newfound ability only lasts for a short amount of time as seen in an episode of the Pokemon anime.
- Over 75% of Luvdiscs are female.
Best Comment From Last Week
I understand. You found paradise in Alola. You made a good trade, you had good battles. Officer Jenny protected you and there were island challenges. So you didn’t need a friend like me. Now you come and say “Drampa, give me justice.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me “Godpa.” You come to my house on the day I eat my berries and you ask me to do arson - for money.
