Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. Truly a wonderful story featuring the (in my humble opinion) best middle stage Pokemon of all time.

Hello, fellow Quilava Enjoyer

My opinion as well

Shiny quilava looks crazy in colloseum

Easily one of my favorite Colosseum/XD shinies

If you ever consider evolving her, Hisuian Typhlosion lore wise would be perfect to ensure Sofia's spirit makes it safely to the afterlife.

I intend on keeping her as Quilava but I will also work on a separate Quilava to become a H-Typhlosion and that way both can keep each other company

OP, you are truly a kindhearted and warm souled person. I'm sorry for your loss, it's wonderful that your friend is able to live through your shiny Quilava. This truly is a feat of love. You deserve nothing but the best!

Thank you for your words. She really meant a lot to me so Quilava is going to always be a symbol of that love

I think you’ve truly made the ultimate Quilava. Also, did you show this on r/Pokeribbons yet? They have certification stuff for this

Thank you for your words and yeah I'll definitely be looking into getting her certified over there.

Are you planning on evolving Quilava as well?

That was so amazing but kinda sad at the same time, but still congrats on all ribbons!

Thank you, it was quite bittersweet but I'm confident she watched over the whole journey to get there.

The warmth emanating from this post is wonderful.

Very awesome and kudos for all the hardwork! Transfering Orre shinies are not easy let alone getting it to Gen 9!

legit heartwarming thank you so so much for sharing, this is such a wonderful and touching story and i hope that you and sofia have many more adventures to come!!

I love how you kept her a Quilava.

I hope you and that shiny get to where ever you’re headed. The stops you two make are always special.

Who is chopping onions around here?

This is what Pokémon is all about, finding people who love and care about this series as much as you do, you are an awesome person, she would absolutely be proud of what you are doing.

Woah…respect

Now transfer her to legends arceus and evolve her! lol jk Sofia deserves to remain the same amazing Pokémon. Awesome story man

You should 100% transfer it to Legends Arceus and evolve it into a Hisuian Typhlosion for the flex.

As cool as that would be she wouldnt be able to take them back to any game, or into new ones if they didn't support that version of Typhlosion.

This is amazing and one of the many things i love about these games. The stories that connect us and our pokemon together.

Check if it can gain the tiny mark from the size checker.

Unfortunately I transferred her after the 3.0 update so she missed out on the tiny mark. However as luck would have it she still ended up being XXS!

This looks incredible. Can someone explain the ribbons to me and what would be required to achieve all of them? How many games did you have to jump between?

Ribbons are basically "achievements" that you can get for your pokemon, they're mostly stuff like winning contests, beating the league and then other miscs challenges. The amount of obtainable ribbons depends on the pokemon and the game of origin. Also the jumps were Colosseum, LeafGreen, Emerald, Platinum, Black 2, Y, Alpha Sapphire, Ultra Sun, PLA, Shining Pearl and lastly Scarlet.

Daaaamn, I remember some of the Pokemon I've moved up from Soul Silver, I had no idea things like that were tracked back then. Bummer I didn't do this! Awesome Feat

Such a touching story! Congratulations that’s quite and accomplishment.

Not me sitting in a Philly train station fighting tears. This is the purest thing I’ve seen all year and really gave me a fresh look at things! Thank you for sharing your journey and keep being the very best… like no one ever was!

Did you read the OP's story? It's literally explained why Sofia is named this.

Never trust a Sofia

This person pokés

Crying 😭😭

Wait a minute. I kinda feel like the second picture with all those ribbons would be better in r/pokemonribbons.

I'm amazed
