What Are Draft Companions?
What Are Draft Companions?
Draft Pokémon are Pokémon that are specially trained to help out with an Altermew's Occupation, Property, Ranch, or Farm. Each Draft Companion has their own advantages and tasks that the Pokémon can prevent for potential Hazard & Weather events that can occur to your character.
To get a Draft Companion though, one would need to buy them from the Desert Bloom Ranch.
Please note that all Pokémon sold by the Desert Bloom Ranch are in their youngest/first evolutions. They must be trained by their new owners to evolve and efficiently work.
Note Depictions of Pokémon must be recognizable - regardless of personal art style!

Why Should I Own One?
Good questions!
Drafts can effectively prevent the damage caused by certain Hazards and/or Weather conditions!
In fact, some Drafts can actually get you extra Coins with your Submissions!!
However, not every Solaran may be a good fit for certain types of Draft Pokémon. Some Drafts are only Purchasable by Farmers, Ranchers or Business folks!.
However, there are some Draft Pokémon that are available to everyone!
Where Can a Draft be Used?
Where Can a Draft be Used?
Drafts can work in 2 different locations: your home or your occupation. Some Drafts are suitable for both locations.
✧ Home Drafts
✧ Home Drafts
These drafts live in your home and benefit everyone who lives under the same roof.
They only protect you from hazards and weather effects that would damage your home.
✧ Occupation Drafts
✧ Occupation Drafts
These drafts work at the location of your occupation.
They can protect you (and your employees/co-workers) from hazards and weather effects that would damage your location of occupation, but some may offer a different effect, such as extra coins or a discounted renovation.
Note You don't need to own the occupation draft to receive its benefits! As long as someone in your occupation owns one, you may benefit from it.
For submissions with drafts that offer extra coins, the draft must be present as well as the character who owns the draft. Minimum half body with colour for both the draft and the character.

5 Types Of Draft Pokemon
✦ The following Draft options are available for Purchase from the Desert Bloom Ranch.
None of these strike your fancy? Well, good news!
✦ Loyal Companions can be Trained to become Draft Companions by visiting the Pokémon Trainer at the Loyal Steed shop! Head on over there for more details!

Most of these drafts can work both at home and occupation location (expect for moving heater and walking waterer)
Living Scarecrow - Cacnea - 15 Coins
Living Scarecrow - Cacnea - 15 Coins
✦ Seeds are expensive and no Farmer wants their young Crops to be eaten by birds, and Ranchers wouldn't want their Livestock to be stressed from pecking; so it would help to have a Cacturne to stand in the field to scare them away. It is the Scarecrow Pokémon, after all, and they seem to enjoy scaring pests away and adore their owners' praise.
Owning a Living Scarecrow would help keep those bird pest numbers down!

Pest Control Cat - Meowth - 15 Coins
Pest Control Cat - Meowth - 15 Coins
✦ Pests like Rattata are attracted to feed for Livestock, while Zigzagoons would have no problem eating your compost fertilizer. By having a Persian on your property, those pesky pests would think twice before bothering your crops. Persians don't make good "lap-cats" and are truly best suited for their work only, though they are very pretty to admire.
Owning a Pest Control Cat would help keep those ground pest numbers down!

Bug Catcher - Carnivine - 20 Coins
Bug Catcher - Carnivine - 20 Coins
✦ Bugs, like Nincada and Nymble, have a knack to get into any building and can wreak havoc on inventory, stored materials, Seeds or Feed. Owning a Carnivine comes in handy, because the predator's appetite is never satiated and it performs its duty with vigour. Despite their fearsome appearance, they bond very well with their owners and are eager to please.
Owning a Bug Catcher can also help prevent the damage caused by bug pest infestations.

Moving Heater - Slugma - 20 Coins
Moving Heater - Slugma - 20 Coins
✦ The nights of the Sunswept Wastes can be chilly, especially in the Rainy Season, so it would help to have a Magcargo to help out with keeping the Crops protected against potential frostbite and the Livestock warm from the cold. Magcargo stay on their paths and are very capable of controlling their heat so as to not cook potential Produce.
Owning a Moving Heater would help prevent fields from shriveling from the cold!
✧
✧
Walking Waterer - Lotad - 20 Coins
Walking Waterer - Lotad - 20 Coins
✦ The sun of the Sunswept Wastes can be harsh, especially in the Dry Season, so it would help to have a Ludicolo to help out with the watering and keeping Livestock cool in the heat. Their dancing can summon a small rain cloud. Besides! Ludicolo's dancing is fun to watch.
Owning a Walking Waterer would help prevent fields from drying out!
✧
✧
Hay & Wood Cutter - Scyther - 30 Coins
Hay & Wood Cutter - Scyther - 30 Coins
✦ Wood is very expensive in the Sunswept Wastes, so all wood is repurposed. Fences will need mending and hay will need to be cut to fit in a Silo to feed Livestock. Cutting down hay and weeds also helps Farmers maintain nutrient-rich soil. Owning a Kleavor can get a lot of work done, in addition to the fact that thieves would think twice of stealing from a Rancher if they see a Kleavor.
Outlaws would think twice about damaging A Ranch if they see a Hay & Wood Cutter!

Herding Dog - Lillipup - 40 Coins (RANCH EXCLUSIVE)
Herding Dog - Lillipup - 40 Coins (RANCH EXCLUSIVE)
✦ The larger a Ranch becomes and the more Livestock a Rancher owns it becomes harder to manage all those Pokémon. Owning a hardworking Stoutland can help can Rancher maintain order of their Livestock. Their thick fur help this dog against cold desert nights.

Front Doorbell - Chingling - 15 Coins
Front Doorbell - Chingling - 15 Coins
✦ It's good business practice to greet customers once they enter a store and owning a Chimecho will definitely assist an employee, especially if they're working by themselves. Chimecho are joyful little things and are sure to bring a happy atmosphere to any Business. Plus they're cute!
Owning a Front Doorbell means +1 Coin per Occupation Submission.
Sturdy Signholder- Bonsley - 20 Coins
Sturdy Signholder- Bonsley - 20 Coins

Owning a Sturdy Signholder means that your next Business Renovation is Discounted 50%.
✦ The Desert Bloom Ranch does not sell designated Companions under this classification.
✦ However! If a Solaran is willing to put in the work and coordinate with the Pokémon Trainer at the Loyal Steed, then where there's a will, there's a way to achieve these Companions!
Note For Pokémon to qualify to be trained as Adventure Drafts, they need to make sense! Be sure to submit a Design Review Ticket to discuss a potential Pokémon for the role and HOW they'll perform their duties!
Harvesters
Harvesters
✦ Harvester Companions are specifically trained to sniff, scope, or search out hidden Seeds, Berries and maybe even some Produce per Adventure!
