In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC, players wind up hurting an NPC so badly that he takes a turn toward the villainous. However, one fan theory suggests that it may not be entirely our fault that this sweet kid goes bad.

Pokemon come in all shapes and sizes, some of which resemble the pets we know and love in real life. In fact, we’ve gotten several dog-like Pokemon over the years, which leads Pokemon players to the question… which Pokemon dog is the best dog?
Pokemon Go fans on Reddit took to the forums to debate which dog-inspired Pokemon is the best, considering important factors like cuteness, design, and of course, prowess in battle. As a Pokemon fan who enjoys collecting the cutest critters who also happens to be a dog mom, I was immediately sucked into this fascinating and occasionally hilarious debate.

Reddit user ToastyEdward launched a conversation for the history books when they posted in the Pokemon Go subreddit to ask “Which is the superior dog?” between Houndoom and Mightyena.
Their post features the basic details for two dark-type doggos, Houndoom and Mightyena, with a simple question – which is the best? You might think this would launch a debate about battle stats and skills, and it did… at first.
However, as one user hilariously points out, Houndoom doesn’t seem to actually have ears. In their opinion, that means it can’t possibly win Best in PoGo and Mightyena is the best by default. This point won me over, but many fans consider Mightyena to be borderline useless in battle and hand the crown to Houndoom. Clearly, there’s no obvious choice between these two.
The debate doesn’t end with just these pups, however. Houndoom and Mightyena aren’t the only dog Pokemon around, and other Pokemon Go fans couldn’t resist bringing their favorite canines into the conversation. Fans hopped into the thread to cast their votes for OG dog Pokemon Arcanine and also make sure we don’t forget about other cute pups like Lillipup, freshly-baked Fidough, and ghostly Houndstone.

We may never know which dog is the best boy, but what’s clear is that there are enough tough dog-like creatures in the game to form an entire battle team of canine companions. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go do that immediately.

The second chapter of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC is next week on December 14, offering new story content, the return of multiple Legendary Pokemon from previous games, and a slightly terrifying mind-control device called the Synchro Machine.

Exchanging a gift with Mateo in can be a rough task if you do not know where to look. Mateo first appeared during the Season called Timeless Travels, as he is part of the A Route to New Friendships special research task. In the first step of that mission, one of the quests that needs to be concluded is exchanging a gift with him. While exploring 1km, spinning 3 PokéStops, and earning candy while exploring with your buddy are all pretty straightforward and easily accomplishable, giving a gift to this new NPC is somewhat mysterious, especially if you have not completely dived into the the game’s new mechanics.
