Silvia
Strengths
Silvia is kind to people and Pokemon alike. She's always calm, collected and has a sunny disposition. None of Silvia's friends or family members can say that they've ever seen her lose her temper. Silvia loves cooking so she always makes treats for both her friends and her Pokemon. Contrary to her calm demeanor, Silvia is a fierce battler and loves winning so she will always give it her all. Her Pokemon focus a lot on hard hitting STAB moves but she will occasionally come out with a "trump card" in teaching her Pokemon a move to cover at least one of their weaknesses.
Weaknesses
Her over-confidence in her Pokemon's abilities often gimps Silvia as she will not hesitate sending her Pokemon out against a type that holds the advantage. She tends to go all out too soon and that often has disastrous results. Silvia is also quite a sore loser but she keeps it to herself and, once the battle is over, she reverts to the usual sweet, friendly demeanor. She does not forget the faces of those who defeated her in battle, however and will actively seek them out to battle them again until she's proven herself. This unusual stubbornness slows down her progress quite a bit.

Mirhira - 37 - Journalist - Trapinch & Solrock
Mihira has come to Diminia to research the current league scene, and what better way to research than to get involved? To be more on par with those she would be competing against, she asked her main partners if they had any friends that wanted an adventure. She was entrusted with a child of her Flygon and a sibling of her Solrock and is ready to take on the Diminia League. She prefers a small team and is very selective in choosing team members, but that may change depending on what she encounters here in Diminia.
Mihira is a thorough person who prioritizes efficiency, but never haste. This approach to things means she appears rather aloof. She dislikes people trying to engage her while working and prefers to finish everything before allowing herself leisure time. The high standards she holds herself and others to means she is often irritated when people are not behaving in an appropriate manner, which drags out her critical side. Mihira almost never backs down from a challenge, though she hardly does any challenging herself. It is rare that her stoicism is obviously defeated, but those that know her well realize that the more she speaks, the further away from her you should be.
Mihira is firm in her stance on most things but is always willing to collect more information and explore both sides of a story. She will never turn down an opportunity to learn or do something new. Her coworkers think her absolutely fearless, which is far from true, but they would never know otherwise.
If this works like promised, is this acceptable?
Character Name: Shin
Appearance:
Strengths: Specializes extremely in Double Battles but doing only decent in Single Battles. Patient and swift, also a good scout to devise strategies in order to counter certain Pokémon.
Weakness: Sometimes inconsistent for being too doubtful with his decisions and Bug-Type Pokémon. Also an awkward speaker, and terrible at math and other complicated stuff he can't understand.
Pokémon One: Hoothoot
Pokémon Two: Roggenrola
This seems very interesting. I'll definitely try making a character later.
You said that we can't evolve a Pokemon and give them a new move in the same post. What about Pokemon that gain moves when they evolve like Wobbuffet or Charizard?
-Parasol Lady Rhodes loves - and would think herself proficient at using - moves that affect the entire battle area. This doesn't come as a surprise, since she outwardly believes that Pokémon perform best when they use their environment as part of their strategy, and will use this genre of move to either benefit herself or impede her foes. Some of her favorite techniques are ones that indirectly allow her team to get the upper hand, or inflict status conditions.
-She has a tendency to be incredibly theatrical; she's a reporter, after all. This habit causes her to treat battles more like contest appeals, and while it does make for an interesting or flashy show sometimes, her spectacular tactics can be far more bark than bite. She'll often plan movesets that have more "zest" or "edge" to them, willingly sacrificing efficiency.
-Call her a product of her time, but she's a huge fan of her smartpokedex and how easy it has made her job. Her adoration has seeped into her Pokémon preferences, and while Grass and Bug-Types will always be favorites and easy for her to care for, she enjoys having a few Artificial or Technologically-oriented Pokémon at her disposal. Her team currently consists of:
-
-Blob-Like Amorphous Pokémon have never been her cup of tea. She constantly has to remind herself what their individual movesets are and how they differentiate with other ones, and she doesn't find their natural "design" all that interesting. She also can't get behind Ghost-Types, either: Psychic-Types play "mind games" much better in her opinion. Also, what the hell are Steel-Types? Isn't there already a Rock-Type that covers most mineral-based Pokémon? Dealing with and training these three types come as a challenge to her.
-In her aim to keep every encounter exciting and fast-paced, she makes the most of her Pokémon's speed statistic, and forces herself to memorize their natural Abilities. Every little advantage helps!
-She gets far too hasty and excited when in the midst of fighting, and will often make decisions on whims and impulse. This problem is only aggravated in more complex forms of battling, such as Rotation or Triple Battles. It also makes her prone to jumping into battles herself; re-purposing her trademark parasol as a weapon.

I'm writing up the IC now, so just something to note. Please make sure your posts keep track of your pokemon and their movesets somewhere so I can keep tabs on everything easily.
