Pokémon as Thoughtforms/Servitors/Deities
One of the best use cases for Pokémon in your practice will be as a Servitor. Create one using any Servitor conjuring method that you are comfortable with. Make sure to be respectful as Pokémon are described as being emotional and intelligent. A spirit with these qualities should be approached as such.

The fictional biological data for each Pokémon is well established. Coupled with their Pokédex entry they can also help you decide which Pokémon best suits your needs. Remember to follow some best practices when it comes to Servitors:


 * Be as exact as possible
 * Give them a means of sustaining themselves
 * Give them a means of ending their service in the event of failure
