ITT: Discuss possible gimmicky theme Pokemon teams.
I'm just curious as to what people come up with.

This is not a Pokemon team thread, just a "let's-have-fun-grouping-Pokemon-in-unconventional-ways" thread.
  • Name 6 Pokemon which fit under a certain category. They don't have to work together competitively.
  • Don't group Pokemon that are already grouped together (ie. "Regis," "Eeveelutions" or "Legendary Birds"). That's not creative. Also, don't group them by type either -_-
  • And no "cats only" or "dogs only" teams. Those are just overdone.
  • And don't supply movesets, since no one wants to read those anyway.
  • Extra points for full teams XD
  • Make sure no one has said something similar already.

Examples:

"Bell theme"
Chingling / Bronzong / Weepinbell / Chimecho / Victreebel / Miltank (lol cowbell)

"Fruit theme"
Cherubi / Cherrim / Tropius / Exeggutor

"Really, really squishy theme"
Gulpin / Muk / Swalot / Ditto / Gastrodon / Slugma
lurid/lucid

"I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away."

um...the Wizard of Oz Team!?

Persian (Lion...feline), Registeel (Tin Man) Sandslash (Scarecrow) Buneary (Dorothy XD) Gyrados (Wicked Witch of the West) Milotic (Glinda the Good)
You could have had TOTOdile in that team as well...

...

-grabs coat-

The "Worst Names Ever" Crew
Nosepass, Leafeon, Stunky, Spiritomb, Toxicroak, Rhyperior

Looking down the list of names there are at least a good dozen or so more from the later generations that could be added to that team. Sometimes makes me wonder if Nintendo have employed a team of Nursery school kids to create names for the new Pokémon. I hear the pay is good, 2 lollipops an hour.

Luxray is actually a Lion so I think that would be appropriate.
I think Mismagius could be the Wicked Witch, since it's like a witch :P
We could make Froslass the other one if you like the water-water theme to carry on to ghosts :P
