>>43660899Personally, I prefer not being a worrywart over such a thing like whether or not you get stabbed by your Garde's horn. Gamefreak doesn't give us much in the way of lore for them except they're known as the "Embrace Pokemon" and they live to protect you. I can understand you wanting a better explanation than just "it phases right through you," but I don't like thinking too hard about consequences from hugging such a well-meaning Pokemon.
TL;DR: You're entitled to your own opinion
