Dale

Dale is a that Naomi owns and is her first-known Pokémon overall.

Description
As a Mudsdale: Dale was a massive and muscular Pokémon, mostly brown in colour, with a long, black and red mane that ended in long braids, with long feathery hair on his ankles, and massive hooves that could easily crush anyone in his path. He is taller than Nanu and Naomi, and nearly reached the ceiling of the police station, possibly making him a Totem Pokémon. He has soft fur on his head, which often tickles people whenever he nuzzles them.

But despite his size, he is calm and would never hurt a fly, the only exception is whenever he saw that Nanu and Naomi were in danger, and he crushed a poacher's skull in, but immediately regrets it. He likes to close his eyes and nuzzle others on the cheek, but carefully, as to not knock anyone down.

As a Mudbray: Dale was a bratty, often getting into trouble, such as headbutting Nanu whenever he wasn't looking. He was very stubborn as well, but whenever Naomi glared at him, he would stop whatever he was doing and listen to her, or she would threaten to put him back inside his Poké ball. Despite being bratty, he was friendly, especially towards Blu, who he quickly befriends.

Before Nanu's Revenge
Before the events of NR, Dale was gifted to Naomi from her uncle, ‘Iwalani. In the flashbacks in NR, it was shown he hadn't perfected the Z-move yet. He quickly befriends Blu, chatting with her and helping her hunt mice. He is also shown to like noodles and shrimp, as well as baked goods, despite being a grazing herbivore that mostly eats grass, which means he might be a facultative omnivore.

Before Nanu's Paradise
Sometime before the events of NP, his son, Markab, was born to him and Bandida, his mate.
