    This thread is for requesting theme teams and/or for suggesting Pokémon (with or without sets). A rule that I will hold myself to is that if what the Pokémon is based upon fights, i have to try and match the moveset to their style. I have two theme teams (A goblin one and a Tales of Symphonia one) that I'll be posting here later. For an example of the above rule, I used Gardevoir as Colette in my theme team. Colette gets Angel Feathers, a light themed attack (i think), Steal (small amount of damage and can steal item), and a spell that fully heals the party (i think it makes her die). So i gave Gardevoir Magical Leaf, Dazzling Gleam, Thief, and Healing Wish. Not that great of a moveset, but it is appropiate. If you gave a dog themed team though, I would do whatever sets made sense competitively. Once I get the feel for the team, I will do 10 battles, and put the replays here. I hope that you guys will enjoy this and give plenty of suggestions.

    Oh my! I've loved doing this for lower tier play or even on my cartridges!
    Do you want Game of Thrones? I've always wanted to try a team theme based on that show! Each family has a different animal as their family crest. So for example, the Lannisters are lions:

    I would use this team for Cartridge Play for a GoT theme:
    Pokémon Representing House Lannister (Lion):
    [3D='pyroar']

    Pokémon Representing House Stark (Wolf):
    [3D='mightyena']

    Pokémon Representing House Targaryan (Dragon):
    [3D='salamence']

    Pokémon Representing House Baratheon (Deer):
    [3D='xerneas']

    Pokémon Representing House Greyjoy (Squid):
    [3D='octillery']

    Pokémon Representing House Tyrell (Rose):
    [3d='roserade']

    .....Now.... I haven't thought about what to put on these guys. XD
    What do you think about that theme?
    Maybe you could help me get the sets for them! :o
    Competitive sets.~

    Much like Noctis, I've thought of a team of Pokémon, but no sets to go with them. This one's for my favourite show, Steven Universe.

    So we have...

    [3D='shiny-slurpuff'] as Steven Universe
    [3D='scizor-mega'] as Garnet
    [3D='granbull'] as Amethyst
    [3D='shiny-kirlia'] as Pearl
    [3D='pyroar'] as Lion
    [3D='reuniclus'] as Peridot
    [3D='combusken'] as Ruby
    [3D='jynx'] as Sapphire
    [3D='lapras'] as Lapis Lazuli
    [3D='arcanine'] as Jasper
    [3D='diancie-mega'] as Rose Quartz
    [3D='froslass'] as Blue Diamond
    [3D='girafarig'] as Yellow Diamond

    I usually use the first 6 as a Crystal Gems themed team (Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Lion and Peridot), and I'm still trying to find Pokémon that could be used for Gem fusions and the human characters.

    Do you want me to do these teams and post the sets (which I'll do with all of my teams), or just suggest some sets when i do my other teams here?

    Edit, here is my Tales of Symphonia Team:

    Battles:
    Battle 1- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368405041
    -This battle was kind of painful, as it was just a poor matchup. I managed to make a decent comeback though. For damage, Genis was the MVP, for tanking blows, it was Lloyd.

    Battle 2- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368410266
    -I was slaughtered... But this person got the reference! So that made it worth it

    Battle 3- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368412445
    -I assumed they had a water move... Does this even count?

    Battle 4- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368413769
    -My first win! Blissey was DEFINITELY the MVP. Thank Arceus for the attack drop, that I completely forgot about.

    Battle 5- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368416269
    -I was slaughtered by this teams biggest weakness, a fast water type. But once again, I underestimated Blissey's bulk.

    Battle 6- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368843008
    -This was just a disappointing battle all around

    Battle 7- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368845182
    -I am really looking forward to my goblin team by this point.

    Battle 8- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368846651
    -I kinda made a comeback, but still lost pretty badly.

    Battle 9- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368849919
    -I don't know what to say anymore, except that between my battling skill, and these movesets, I shouldn't have expected better.

    Battle 10- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-368852020
    -This was going really well, until they landed 4 Megahorns in a row. I might have won if it weren't for that.

    Decided to not do goblin team right now, but instead I am going with claimed Pokémon/avatar for the Admins. Chatot is filler, and based on Chatot's Chatterbox

    LV Admin Team (Includes bots):
    === [ubers] LV Admin Team ===

    Bloom (Roselia) @ Eviolite
    Ability: Natural Cure
    EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
    Calm Nature
    IVs: 0 Atk
    - Toxic Spikes
    - Leech Seed
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Leaf Storm

    Bots (Azelf) @ Focus Sash
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
    Jolly Nature
    - Explosion
    - Acrobatics
    - Power-Up Punch
    - Zen Headbutt

    Filler (Chatot) @ Focus Sash
    Ability: Keen Eye
    EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    IVs: 0 Atk
    - Chatter
    - Nasty Plot
    - Boomburst
    - Tailwind

    Chatot was one of the MVP's on this team.

    Satix (Gyarados) @ BrightPowder
    Ability: Intimidate
    EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
    Modest Nature
    IVs: 0 Atk
    - Attract
    - Thunder Wave
    - Whirlpool
    - Thunderbolt

    My thoughts were, "Satix says he's cute. So let's see if it can get Charm. Wait, it gets Attract. I'm gonna hate myself, but I'm gonna run a troll Gyarados in Ubers."

    Shiny (Giratina) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
    Bold Nature
    IVs: 0 Atk
    - Earth Power
    - Hex
    - Draco Meteor
    - Calm Mind

    Deltheor (Rayquaza)
    Ability: Air Lock
    EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
    Adamant Nature
    - V-create
    - Extreme Speed
    - Dragon Claw
    - Brick Break

    Other than V-Create and creating art, I got nothing. I was creative where I could be, the rest is just trying to compensate.


    Battles:
    Battle 1- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-382817029 -Rage quit thanks to Chatot. I had 3 brainfarts. I meant to start with Bloom, then used grass on sap sipper, then I used Hex on a normal type.

    Battle 2- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-382820690 -I think everything had Toxic and Blizzard. I think my UU team might have won, since I actually know how to use that.

    Battle 3- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-382823707 -I actually didn't practice at all with this team. But it is kind of fun. The troll set actualy worked!

    Battle 4- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-382827292 -I think they wereupset about a Roselia taking out their Xerneas, then being swept by a Chatot

    Battle 5- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-382828846 -Best battle yet. Shiny is MVP! With rocks up, Chatot and The Bots are a lot harder to use

    Battle 6- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-384313302 -Not so great, but I my opponent had luck on their side

    Battle 7- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-385140640 -How much salt do you think they had?

    Battle 8- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-385262071 -This was a fun battle

    Battle 9- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-385264293 -Pretty good battle I guess

    Battle 10- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-385268482 -Did I really win this? And not thanks to much hax?

    Battle 11- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-385711726 -I hadn't planned to post anymore, but stall Gyarados was putting in great work here
