for the pokemon breed variants thing going around on tumblr: gardevoir variants based on different kinds of fairies

standard - the pure-bred, domesticated gardevoir, the ultimate service/therapy pokemon.

banshee - only ever seem to appear to people that are in mourning or to places of great devastation or sorrow; graveyards, places of previous battles, hospitals, and the like. form very close bonds with their trainers; this is the variant that made gardevoirs notorious for defending their trainer to the death. they’re not inherently unhappy creatures but they are so in tune to what their trainers are feeling that they cannot help but express it with them, usually via heart-wrenching song

yakshini - appear in places where there’s a lot of naturally occurring evolutionary stones, but prefer warmer climates and lush environments. territorial towards other yakshini-types, but not to people; they like to show people where these stones are and are naturally predisposed to being cheerful & generous because of this stream of joy and gratitude they receive in response to this. however, this is not to say that they aren’t capable of being malevolent, and can be extremely vengeful should someone rouse their ire. trainers who manage to tame one should watch out, because they have a tendency to get possessive of their trainer and the trainer’s pokemon, and will protect them viciously.

tennyo - prefer high mountains and cold climates. very rare because unfortunately of over-poaching for their hair and crystal which were said to have psychic-empowering qualities. Very shy and skittish; will mostly choose flight over fight if confronted but can get vicious if they feel trapped. the most difficult to tame, both because of their rarity and because of their initial cold demeanor towards any potential trainers. it is extremely common for them to run away immediately should a trainer manage to catch them. gain their trust and you have a lifelong companion. betray it, and you’ll never see them again.
