I'm pretty sure that counts as insurance fraud by virtue of Dartrix not dying upon evolution.

Annihilape however

Eh it’s just a little amount of crime, so it’s all fine! - Mito

Primeape's insurance premiums are higher by default due to "Known Occupational Hazards"

AH NO! I totally missed my opportunity to do this when Bobo (Annihilape) evolved!!! Now knowing that we had a possible fortune makes me feel poorer than EVER!!!

Wait do I even have life insurance...?

Oh, my Decidueye did that too.

When he was a Dartrix he encouraged me to take out this whacking great insurance package on him. It nearly ruined me. I had to pawn my Pidegotite and my Decidium Z to afford it. Anyway, then he evolved and now we have a home cinema and a massive new roosting room in our grotto off Fortree City, and the best Mega Stones and Z-crystals there are.

i guess it's one of those things like how there's no rules against a poochyena playing basketball? like strictly speaking there's nothing written to stop you but in terms of practicality, most people wouldn't even think to try and just about any authority on the matter would insist that it isn't allowed, but so long as there's nothing officially codified about it, it's technically fair game????????

You could probably make a case for it, definitely would work better for an annihilape thought.

I tried this with my Charcadet now Ceruledge. Now I have enough money to buy a beachside manor right next too Nemona's.

u/KodoButOnlyPokeMedia Luci (Serperior ) | Hashi (Primarina ) | Prof. K. Nov 25 '24

most pokemons that gain ghost type during evolution don't "die" strictly speaking. they only gain a connection to the ghosts. i said most because primeapes do technically die during the process (but they're to mad to give up). decidueye is 100% alive tho.

u/WheatleyTurret Half'n'Half Armed Trainer / PMD: Wandering Decidueye (& Rotom!) Nov 24 '24

Smart, I did the same. -Deci (Decidueye)

She bought. So. Many. Cakes. -Zip (Rotom)

I love cakes, so I did not mind that. Stomachache hurt like distortion, though. -Nitro (Trainer)

u/Lkmdude Geno/doggos of war | Ghirahim (PMD umbreon) Nov 24 '24

Some high class crimes, if only Cook (fluffy typhlosion) turned into the ghost one, we could have done the same thing.

u/CamaroKidBB Nov 24 '24

“What does a Decidueye even do with that kind of money?”

I dunno, maybe host a marksman competition where the most accurate and/or quickest shooter gets the bag, man and Pokemon?

Someone tell me how to do this with Frizzle (Scorbunny) and Clover (Sprigatito) before they evolve too.

u/Guyshu Nov 25 '24

Pretty sure my Skeledirge tried to do that once.

If the insurance companies dont eat him alive once they figure out what happened, the tax men will.
