>>48416629I like your variety in evolutionary stages, one of my favorite aspects of the anime is the way they showcase all pokemon and their strengths and roles in the world not just final stages.
I'm gonna reuse a template from an anime team thread that happened a while ago because I liked the idea behind it.
The protag was a pretty powerful grunt from the now disbanded Team Skull and now him and his two grunt friends travel the region and sometimes others to keep the Team Skull reputation alive since they think Team Re-Skull is namby pamby bullshit. All three of them are pretty retarded though and none of them are really bad people so despite their best efforts they usually end up helping folks instead of sabotaging anything. Their arc would primarily be all of them slowly maturing as they decide what they actually want to do with their lives besides be a bunch of wannabe hoodlums.
Crobat (F): My first partner as a lowly Zubat amongst other grunts usual dark and poison weak mons. Over time we both pushed each other to be stronger and now as a Crobat she's an absolute beast and ace of the team. Usually tries to keep an air of being cool and intimidating in public in an attempt to be threatening but it's real playful nature comes out when the squad is in private.
Zweilous (M): Befriended and caught as a Zweilous after getting turned around in the mountains we thought this would be our big break having a big bad Hydreigon to crush others with but it refuses to evolve no matter what and won't let anyone know why. ||One of the heads ate an everstone but neither remembers who and neither wants to take the blame, so they sit around nervously hoping the problem will just fix itself|| It's still a fairly powerful mon when it's not arguing.
