London Rangers - Pokemon Teams

[spaceturtle]

Lydia made a joke about playing the campaign in Pokemon Go in, I think, one of the mailbag episodes? Which got me thinking about Pokemon teams for each of the rangers. Thought it would be fun to share:

Hamid (Fire/Dragon/Fairy)
-Starter Pokemon: Eevee
Low-level team: Sylveon, Braixen, Charmander
Fully evolved team: Sylveon, Delphox, Charizard, Altaria, Dragonair, Ninetails

Notes: Sylveon doesn't really fit the fire/dragon theme, but, well. It was too perfect for Hamid with his focus on appearance/charisma, before he finds his affinity for fire.

Sasha (Dark/Poison)
Starter pokemon: Meowth (Alola Form)
Low-level team: Raticate (Alola form), Sneasel, Meowth (Alola)
Fully evolved team: Honchkrow, Absol, Weavile, Muk (Alola form), Zoroark, Bisharp

Notes: A lot of dark and poison types tend towards defense; tried to pick the more stabby ones where possible.

Zolf (Water)
Starter pokemon: Piplup
Low-level team: Prinplup, Chansey, Horsey
Fully evolved team: Empoleon, Blissey, Kingdra, Milotic, Primarina, Lapras

Notes: Piplup was the obvious starter choice since Empoleon has a trident on its face. The rest are all defense-focused water types and of course a Blissey for healing.

Bertie (Steel/Normal)
Starter Pokemon: Zangoose
Low-level team: Zangoose, Honedge, Herdier (Brutor)
Fully evolved team: Zangoose, Stoutland, Escavalier, Aegislash, Aggron, Mawile

Notes: Straightforward high-damage types. I initially picked Honedge just because it was a sword-- it's even more fitting now given Bertie's recent acquisition!
