Good. Preserving biodiversity is a good, and these are beautiful animals, largely being affected by our (over)use of herbicides that kill off their primary food source as larva, which is milkweed.

The BBC Earth series "Life" has a breathtaking segment on them.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation
