My Pokémon Team!

Saw some others doing this, and I wanted to do it myself! #myteam2022

These are really just my favorites, therefore there’s no competitive focus or anything. And instead of giving backstories of how my trainer self met them, I’ll give a bit of background on why I like them and why I named them what I did.

”Ace” the Luxray

Luxray has always been on my top ten favorites, but lately it’s become my all time favorite. Especially after the random shiny Shinx I hatched in GO, which became a key member of my team in Shield. Psychic Fangs is a fun move- I’ve had a Luxray on every team since then, and I just love it so much! I named it Ace because, well, it’s mine, but I also have a Luxray OC named Ace.

”Echo” the Noivern

Noivern is an easy second place for my favorite Pokémon. My first experience with Pokémon games was Pokémon Y, which a friend of my older sister let me play to leave them alone- Anyways, a Noivern was at the lead of his team, and it never left that spot whenever I played. It wasn’t even a great battler, little ol’ me just thought it was the coolest thing ever- I named it Echo for obvious reasons, but also after a friend of mine, since the Pokémon I would’ve named Echo already has a nickname.

”Stryke” the (Mega) Scizor

Honestly, I don’t when or why I started liking Scizor so much, I just do. But I’ve gotten a Scizor on any team I’ve been able to, thanks to the help of my sister trading with me. I named it Stryke after I learned that an alternate name for Scyther was Strike, but I wanted to be cool and add a Y apparently-

”Otto” the Lucario

What can I say, it’s Lucario. Some of the first episodes of the anime I watched were of Diamond and Pearl that featured Riolu and Lucario. I don’t the episodes very well, but I do little me thinking Riolu and Lucario were some of the coolest things, as little me tended to do with Pokémon- It’s not a common member of my teams, mainly cause it’s a Pokémon obtained later in a good portion of games, but I love it nonetheless. This is the Pokémon I would’ve named Echo, but I named it Otto after a character of mine that reminded me of Lucario.

”Tyro” the Tyrantrum

Tyrantrum is the same as Scizor, I don’t when or why I got attached to it, but here we are- Like Lucario, it’s not always on my team, but it’s a favorite nonetheless. I named it Tyro after yet another character of mine who likes dinosaurs, plus it’s not far from its actual name anyways.

”Zero” the Zeraora

Despite it being my profile mascot, Zeraora is not actually my all time favorite- It was for a while, but another Electric feline and an overgrown bat took its place. I wasn’t originally going to put it on here due to it being a Mythical, but then I decided to just put my favorites on here- I watching the Power of Us movie and seeing it thinking “Hey, that’s a cool Pokémon!” Then I got the event one in Shield and it grew on me a lot. So much that I watched the two of the Sun & Moon episodes that featured it just to see it more. (I’ve not seen anything else of the Sun & Moon anime, by the way-) I named it Zero cause that was the name I originally went by when it first became my profile mascot, and now it’s just stuck.

So- Thanks for reading, if you read this far. I figured this would be a good chance for me to share some Pokémon related facts about myself, since I’m not a very active person. Also sorry for the bad picture quality-
