>Staraptor, not only is Axel's ace but also his main mode of transportation. It's strong, fast, and its nature to go after stronger foes means it has no qualms chasing after the legendary birds if it came down to it.>Espathra is to land as Staraptor is to the skies. If Axel needs to go anywhere fast on foot then his Espathra's got him covered.>Magnezone helps illuminate dark caves but also is good for scouting. It's a machine, it doesn't need sleep, and it's been taught to recognize the appearances of the legendary birds and can sound an alarm to wake Axel up if needed. >Lapras is there so Axel has a pokemon to ride the seas with. It might seem redundant to have a pokemon for the seas and the skies but Axel just really likes being able to relax on his Lapras, listening to the sounds of the ocean while nobody is around.Ceruedge and Lokix don't really have utility, they're just there because Axel thinks they're cool and have solid type coverage.
