>>41940599Dress docking is banned in many parts of the world, including Hoenn and Sinnoh. In Galar, these procedures are unregulated -- meaning they are not banned or controlled. But they are highly controversial. Hammerlocke and Motostoke have considered legislation to ban them, but neither city has so far.
The Galarian Hat Club (GHC) says the practices are “integral to defining and preserving breed character” in certain breeds. But the Galarian Pokecenter Association (GPA) opposes docking and cropping. “The most common reason for cropping and docking is to give a pokemon a certain look. That means it poses unnecessary risks,” Joy says.
