A certified goodest boy, Samson aka Sammy is Sam’s first shiny pokemon and given his breed’s temperament, bonded very closely with his trainer. He is affectionate, a truly loyal pup as he never wants to be too far from those he cares about. Because of his separation anxieties, you will find this Dachsbun stubbornly following Sam around on the ranch and investigating everything. Even though he’s very playful and energetic, loving a good game of ball, Sammy is standoffish to strangers and will challenge other ‘mons larger than his size (but don't worry, his bark is worse than his bite). Samson has many nicknames but for some unknown reasons, he responds best to Sammy. Regardless, Sam is very aware of how confusing the names can get between him and his dog.
- Even though his official name is Samson, he's most commonly known as Sammy by everyone who knows him.
- Despite being originally named after Samuel Winchester from Supernatural, his trainer's fiancee, Selenia has given him many names over the years much to Sam's chagrin. Names that are most note-worthy are: Samsung, Samsonite, Sama-dama-ding-dong, and the ever infamous... Samuel L Jackson.
- As the newest member to Sam's team, Sammy is still finding his place among all the relationships and making new friends is a challenge; especially since he prefers to be around people instead of fellow pokemon.
- Technically a long-haired Dachsbun as his fur grows out over time and give him a big fluffy appearance. It's usually when the fur on his toes gets too long is when Sam will take him to get groomed to get him shaved back down.
- The "Pls throw?? No take!! ONLY THROW" kind of a dog- absolutely loves to chase after balls without returning them and shred the stuffing out of his toys.
- Enjoys burrowing under blankets to stay warm in the winter.
- Not much of a cuddle-bug but Sammy still wants to be near Sam or Selenia by one touch contact at all times (usually staying under their feet or bumping his butt against their leg in the night).
- Mastered his puppy-eyes, very hard to say 'no' to him.
- When he wants something, Sammy will sit up on his butt and whine for attention. Sam calls this behavior the 'Watchog pose' because of how long his body is.
- Sammy will break an ankle for some fast food chicken nuggets and fries.
- Is designed after the creator's real dog; everything that makes Sammy special is in honor of him. ❤︎

Truly a cliche, a rivalry for attention between a dog and a cat. Persephone AKA ‘Persie’ belongs to Sam’s fiancee Selenia, and for some reasons, just like her trainer, Persie absolutely adores Sam and demands for his attention. Her command for his affection is especially worse when they’re all at home together in the evenings for their downtime, the only time of the day when Sam can play with Sammy. After getting bapped on the snout once too many times, usually unprovoked, the Dachsbun has grown wary of Persie and keeps his guard up whenever she enters the room. But that’s not to say that she hates him- in fact, she would brush up against him and nuzzle his face at random moments. Sometimes, the two of them would even be found napping together. Honestly, Sammy has given up trying to understand the feline and would leave her space at any given chance if he can.
Dragonfly is one of the few pokemon Sammy truly forged a friendship with in Alola; while the two don't share a lot of interest together, he still feels like he can trust her and don’t mind spending time being in her presence. They enjoy reminiscing about their time back in Paldea and relate to each other’s struggles about being a shiny. Sometimes, Dragonfly would be kind enough to throw balls for Sammy to chase!
