CHARIZARD, the black Charizard - I hate the rule about not renaming trades! My orange Charizard, Lurch, is a HM slave. Sucks to be you, unshiny.
SWAMPERT, the purple Swampert. She's... surprisingly not very good. But SO PURPLE
A'Tuin, the Torterra - she spent her life dying to everything until her final evolution. Suddenly, instant powerhouse!
Surprise, the Lickilicky - and surprise she does! Belly Drum and Rollout is hilarious and unstoppable, particularly when she munches defiantly on leftovers after every hit. The hilarity can only increase when I decide which move to replace with Explosion.
Foxtrot, the Electivire - nothing withstands him! He is one sexy beast and you do not want to mess with him.
Leitmotif, the Seadra - His daddy was an Octillery, so he's packing all manner of beams that will mess you up. When I get my hands on the thingo he'll be a badass dragon and my whole team will be fully evolved.
Studcakes, the Rapidash - the result of my friend's frighteningly extensive project to breed the ultimate hypnotic bouncing flaming poison unicorn. He killed the only Ho-oh in the world, just because he could. That's how metal Studcakes is.
Yes, that's seven. There's always 1-2 who are just plain gonna die to whichever gym leader so somebody always gets benched.
