Wigglytuff's Guild

Wigglytuff's Guild is a first-class Guild where Exploration Teams train to become first-rate.

-- The Guild -- The Guild's exterior is a tent made to look like a Wigglytuff, with a grate right in front of the entrance. Visitors or Guild members have to step on the grate to let the sentry (usually Diglett) evaluate the visitor's footprint and identify them. Then Loudred verifies whether they are wanted Pokémon then opens the door if they aren't outlaws. Entering the Guild brings the visitor into an entrance hall. In this small room there is a board featuring the guild's ten rules, and also the ladder descending into the first sublevel.

The first sublevel is where Chimecho Assembly and the Outlaw Notice Board and the Job Bulletin Board are located. Many Exploration Teams gather here to take jobs from the two boards. A signboard that has questions regarding Exploration all over it is near the Job Bulletin Board.

The second sublevel is the larger of the two, where the entrance to the Groagunk Swap Shop Sentry Post, Guildmaster's chamber, Crew Rooms, and the Mess Hall are located. Each morning, the guild members all do their morning cheers in the central area and listen to any announcements Chatot has to make.

There are three crew rooms, the north one belongs to Sunflora and Chimecho, the East one to the two newest recruits and the south one to Bidoof, Corphish and Loudred.

The Mess Hall is where meals (prepared by Chimecho) are taken after the day has ended.

-- Guild Members --

Wigglytuff: Wigglytuff is the guildmaster and sleeps in his own room to the right of the ladder that leads to he next floor. Relentlessly cheerful and upbeat, he hardly seems to fit his fearsome reputation... yet almost everyone deeply respects him.

Chatot: Chatot is Wigglytuff's assistant and best friend, his right hand bird and head of intelligent. He handles most of the day-to-day details of running the guild and leads the team in morning cheers. Unfortunately, he has a tendency to grossly overestimate his own talents and occasionally misread the situation, and isn't as well-respected as he thinks he is. That being said, he can still be counted on when push comes to shove.

Bidoof: A cheerful beaver Pokémon who's eager to please others. Before the newcomers arrived, he was the Guild's most recent recruit, and was having trouble adjusting. Things get better for him after their arrival, and he quickly befriends the team. While he can be a bit slow at times, he tries his hardest and dislikes the thought of giving up. Bidoof sleeps in south crew room along with Loudred and Corphish. His diary is found there. His catchphrase is "Yup Yup!".

Sunflora: A playful and skilled apprentice who's always so excited she can't help screaming with anticipation! Gets along well with everyone... well, except for Loudred, anyway... Sunflora sleeps in the north crew room along with Chimecho, where her diary is found. Her catchphrase is "Oh My Gosh!".

Loudred: A LOUD and short-tempered apprentice who tends to SHOUT all the time, and serves as the guild's morning 'alarm clock'. Because of this, he comes off as a bit... harsh. Also a bit of a braggart, he's convinced that he's the strongest of all the apprentices. He also supervises Diglett during sentry duty, but he is known to get angry if Diglett does not know the visitor. He has previously taken the Guild graduation exam...and failed miserably. He sleeps in the south crew room along with Bidoof and Corphish, and sometimes keeps Bidoof awake with his snoring. Loudred wakes other guild members up each morning by shouting "UP AND AT 'EM! IT'S MORNING!". When he speaks some of the words he says are capitalized.

Corphish: Another apprentice, Corphish is one of the more sensible and perhaps the least guirky members of the guild. Corphish has no particular role in the Guild and sleeps in the south crew room along with Loudred and Bidoof and doesn't seem to notice Loudred's snoring. He tells new recruits how to take multiple jobs. His catchphrase is "Hey, hey!".

Diglett: The Wigglytuff Guild's lookout and Loudred's partner. Not nearly as brash or self-assured as his father or his partner. Diglett is usually the sentry, but new recruits are sometimes called to do sentry duty when Diglett is filling in for his father. Diglett is Dugtrio's son.

Dugtrio: Diglett's is the father of Diglett and a fellow apprentice. Dugtrio's role is to handle the updates for the Guild's Job Boards. He also likes to spend his free time overlooking the vast sea. They wish to overcome their weakness of water and swim in the sea. He tends to be rather melodramatic and is much quirkier than his son is, much to Diglett's exasperation. He refers to himself as "we" and "us" rather than "I" and "me".

Croagunk: Croagunk runs the Croagunk Swap Shop, where Pokémon can trade various rare items received from Treasure Boxes for other items. He is an odd apprentice usually keeps to himself and tends to unnerve others, who aren't quite sure what to make of him, and is usually seen as creepy and weird. He also says that he could graduate at any time, but wishes to stay behind with his Swap Cauldron as he would become unable to stay and be with it. For some reason, he comes in and sleeps in the south crew room occasionally, but most of the time he stays with his Swap Cauldron. He begins most sentences with "Meh-heh-heh".

Chimecho: Chimecho runs the Guild's Assembly, managing any recruits brought in by other apprentices and helping with team-building. She also acts as the Guild's healer both on and off the field, and appears to be the chef of the Guild, making all the food and calling everyone for dinner. She sleeps in the North Crew Room, along with Sunflora. She also apears to have a crush on Wigglytuff, but he doesn't seem to be aware of it.

— Policies — In the morning, members of the guild shout a cheer before doing their work: “A ONE, A TWO...A ONE-TWO-THREE ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK! TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY! THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!”

In the guild's entrance hall, there is a board featuring the guild's rules for the Exploration teams. These are the rules written on the board:

“Wigglytuff's Guild Ten Rules for Exploration Teams One! Don't shirk work! Two! Run away and pay! Three! Smiles go for miles! Four! Once you put a job on your team's list, then use Take Job! That step can't be missed! Five! Restock your supplies and rations before heading out on explorations! Six! Before you explore, try to think about the moves you should link! Seven! While exploring, don't you panic! Stay cool and calm, never manic! Eight! Helping all Pokémon in need is an explorer's duty, indeed! Nine! Do lots of jobs! That's truly the key! You'll reach Gold Rank. Just wait and see! Ten! The money you earn is shared with the guild! That's the way our friendship will build!”

Exploration Teams do jobs from the two boards. The Guild takes a 90 percent share from any money that is given as a reward. Apprentices do chores inside the Guild like preparing dinner and updating the boards. If apprentices excel at their jobs, they are given more difficult assignments. If they are lagging behind, however, they are tasked with simpler errands.
