Real Life Team

So when we play the games we look for Pokémon that have great stats.

We might still choose some Pokémon that we like, but we, or at least I, don't keep it long if it doesn't have as good of stats as another Pokémon.

However, in the anime, which would be how real life works, we don't have to use only the best.

They often use Pokémon that in the games would stand no chance in the battle they're in.

So we can actually use anything!

Well, except maybe Legendaries/Mythicals. Those are still pretty rare and hard to obtain. If you use any, please keep it at one.

I'm personally limiting myself to one starter only because if I could use any they would take up my whole team.

Unfortunately, we can't use Hisuian or Paradoxes do to our time being more current.

Something else to think about is the fact you don't have to be a battler!

You can be a performer, professor, or nothing! Just live with them!

I'm going to make one for me as a battler and another for more of a domestic life.

Four of my Pokémon will remain the same in both.

First is my battle team.

Charizard, Gardevoir, Ceruledge, Lucario, Lopunny, and Garchomp

Charizard is because 1 it's my favorite Pokémon but 2 it is incredibly powerful. In games that have Charizard available I'm a lucky person because I get to actually use one of my favorite Pokémon.

Gardevoir I don't care for. I have some accounts with one on my team, but it's not often. However, in real life I think it would make a great companion and is a powerful Pokémon. It will literally destroy anything/anyone that threatens its trainer, aka me. That's powerful!

Ceruledge is one of my all-time favorite Pokémon, and it is pretty strong. Decent speed, great attack, easy ways to set up powerful strategies with. It is so amazing!

Lucario, as many of us know, is incredibly powerful. With high attack and speed and a pretty good defense, it is a beast to go against when well trained. It is a great buddy, too! Plus, it only evolves at a high friendship level and Mega Evolution requires high friendship in real life makes this work really well!

Lopunny, like Gardevoir, I'm not really a fan of. However, I am a huge fan of Mega Lopunny! But what's better is that Lopunny will only evolve from Buneary once you reach a high fiendship level with it, which in real life is a requirement for Mega Evolution. We'd be guaranteed to successfully do it!

Lastly, and for obvious reasons, Garchomp. I literally have to say no more.

Now, for my domestic life I would still have battles but only for fun.

Charizard, Gardevoir, Ceruledge, Lucario, either Persian or Meowstic, and Umbreon

Charizard is my partner. We'd do everything together. Fly, adventure, sleep, battle, grocery shop, have fun, share laughs, fail, cook, everything.

Again, not a Gardevoir fan, but they are literally the perfect companion! They are the Embrace Pokémon. Free hugs! Plus it is an amazing guardian. Like I mentioned in my battle team, it will make black holes of destruction to protect its trainer. We would be best friends, willing to commit murd3r for one another!

Ceruledge may not be your first thought when it comes to a companion with undy1ng loyalty, but it is for me! It was confirmed for me while watching Horizons. The way Ceruledge cared for Amethio in the episode they were trapped in the cave with Liko. I would do anything for it and it would do the same for me. Plus, it's intimidating so I wouldn't have to worry about threats.

Lucario can pick up on my emotions using Aura and would comfort me when I'm in a mood. We would be those kinds of friends that know what the other one is about to do and support them, no matter how dumb it is.

The Persian/Meowstic (female) is only because I love cats and I would spoil them so much. I honestly want a Meowscarada, but I restricted myself to one starter and I'm going to stick with my rule.

Lastly, Umbreon is my favorite Eeveelution. I'm not a dog person, but Umbreon feels more catty to me, so it's fine.

Lopunny would make a good simple life companion, but it's not priority to me.

What's great about this is I can think of ways to do Pokémon performing with all of the Pokémon I listed, so I'd be able to participate in that, too.

Y'all don't have to fully explain y'all's answers, I just wanted to do it for myself.
