Charizard - Blaze (Starter)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Blaze; Hidden Ability: Solar Power





Raised from a Charmander and given to Rainbow Dash on the beginning of her journey, Blaze was initially a cheerful Pokemon who longed to make his trainer proud of him. He took charge during the majority of Dash's training schedules as her team grew beyond just one Pokemon with Daring as his second. Once evolving into Charmeleon, Blaze's attitude and personality soon became more like his trainer's in that he slept more often during the day, was more confident in his abilities and desired to take on strong opponents. When he finally became a Charizard, Blaze's dream was finally realized and one he never lost sight of even after his first evolution stage: to earn his wings and, now that Rainbow has acquired the Fly HM for herself, to take his trainer on a flight through the skies of Johto or even Kanto. His attacks are Scratch, Growl, Ember, Smokescreen, Flamethrower -mostly thanks to a TM from Dash's friend Riku-, Slash, Fire Spin, Dragon Rage, Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, Air Slash, Flame Burst, Wing Attack, Rage, Fly -thanks to the HM she earned from defeating the Cianwood Gym-, Sky Attack, Fire Fang, Seismic Toss, Sunny Day, Fire Blast, Inferno, Heat Wave, Flare Blitz, Overheat and Hyper Beam.

Blastoise - Tank (from Daycare Center)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Rain Dish; Hidden Ability: Torrent (The abilities were switched due to the Halloween event)





Though he hasn't been seen too much on Rainbow's PokeGear, the Pokemon who she named after her beloved turtle tortoise is very gentle and remains cool under pressure. As a Squirtle he once took possession of Rainbow's sunglasses for himself and with his evolving into both Wartortle and finally Blastoise, Tank has strangely managed to obtain sunglasses each time. His attacks are Tackle, Tail Whip, Bubble, Withdraw, Water Gun, Ice Beam -another TM obtained from Riku-, Bite, Surf -a HM earned at the Olivine Gym-, Protect, Skull Bash, Water Pulse, Rain Dance, Iron Defense, Whirlpool -HM also earned at the Olivine Gym-, Aqua Tail, Hydro Pump, and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Pikachu - Lightning (from Daycare Center)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Static; Hidden Ability: Lightningrod





Obtained as one of many eggs along Rainbow's journey, Lightning feels a strong bond between herself and the girl from Cloudsdale. She once asked if Rainbow Dash was her mommy to which Fluttershy had replied with 'Yes!' (She mentioned that she was Auntie Fluttershy and Twilight was also her Auntie.) As a Pichu, Lightning couldn't always control the electricity that came from her cheeks and may or may not desire to become a Raichu. She evolved into Pikachu due to an emotional meeting between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy that culminated in Dash experiencing high levels of happiness for her best fillyhood friend. Lightning no longer enjoys being inside her PokeBall as a result and enjoys riding around on Rainbow Dash's shoulder. Her attacks are Thundershock, Charm, Tail Whip, Thunder Wave, Sweet Kiss, Thunderbolt -another TM from Riku-, Nasty Plot, Quick Attack, Agility, Double Team, Slam, Feint, Discharge, Light Screen, Iron Tail, Volt Tackle, Electro Ball and Thunder.

[bestofthebest]

Meganium - Daring (Present from Twilight Sparkle)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Overgrow; Hidden Ability: Leaf Guard





Given to Rainbow as a Hearth's Warming Eve present by one of her best friends Twilight Sparkle, and named after a famous Pegasus pony who's produced an entire series' worth of books that Rainbow adores reading thanks again to Twilight, Daring has acquired a large sense of loyalty and curiosity to everything around her. As Chikorita, Daring also believes that Rainbow is her mother and will do whatever it takes to make her proud. Strangely, Daring may be one of a few Pokemon Rainbow has that doesn't pull pranks. She also shows a strong sense of responsibility -which may be due to Twilight having the egg prior to giving her to Rainbow- in whatever she's doing, shown by always keeping an eye on Rainbow's PokeGear, filming any video her trainer wants and making sure no other Pokemon holds it. She is considered by most of Dash's other Pokemon to be Blaze's second in command regarding their team. Her attacks are Ancient Power, Ingrain, Razor Leaf, Vine Whip, Poisonpowder, Natural Gift, Giga Drain, Return, Cut, Energy Ball, Synthesis, Sweet Scent, Body Slam, Light Screen, Safeguard, Aromatherapy, Sunny Day, Solar Beam and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Vulpix - Tails (Hearth's Warming Eve present)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Flash Fire; Hidden Ability: Drought





Though she's hardly been shown much on Rainbow's PokeGear videos, Tails is a Fire Pokemon Rainbow trusts implicitly and enjoys having on her team. The Fire type is actually similar in personality to Fluttershy in which she'll sometimes hide behind Rainbow while out of her Pokeball -and not training- but will be polite and greet other Pokemon kindly. She's not a pushover as Rainbow's trained her to high levels to defend herself. It's unknown when Rainbow will obtain a Fire Stone for Tails to evolve into a Ninetales but undoubtedly she'll leave the decision of evolving to Tails. Her attacks are Ember, Tail Whip, Roar, Quick Attack, Will-O-Wisp, Confuse Ray, Flamethrower, Safeguard, Fire Spin, Extrasensory, Dark Pulse -the last TM Riku had given her along with the other ones- and Fire Blast.

[bestofthebest]

Rapidash (Shiny) - Dash (Hearth's Warming Eve present)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Flash Fire; Hidden Ability: Flame Body





A special shiny Pokemon given to Rainbow Dash for Hearth's Warming Eve, the Pegasus from Cloudsdale has taken it upon herself to name the shiny Ponyta after herself. (She's also 'promised' not to make any evolving jokes about Twilight due to an incident that's very hush-hush.) Dash has run very fast and gotten up to a very high level in just a matter of months after intense training. The day will come that she evolves into a Rapidash, and other jokes may well be made when that day happens. Dash's attacks are Growl, Tackle, Tail Whip, Ember, Flame Wheel, Inferno, Stomp, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Take Down, Agility, Flare Blitz, Megahorn and Fire Blast.

[bestofthebest]

Altaria - Cloudsdale (Present from Riku)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Natural Cure; Hidden Ability: Cloud Nine





Given to Rainbow by one of her many human friends in Johto -Riku-, Rainbow chose to name her Swablu after her hometown of Cloudsdale. She hopes to go flying with the Pokemon one day especially now that she's become a beautiful Altaria. Her attacks are Twister, Body Slam, Outrage, Substitute, Sleep Talk, Dragon Rush, Safeguard, Rest, Roost, Ice Beam, Endure, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Fly, Swagger, Toxic, Protect, Double Team, Aerial Ace, Mirror Move, Mist, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Claw, Sky Attack and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Espeon - Twilight (from Daycare Center)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Synchronize; Hidden Ability: Magic Bounce





A Pokemon who's well known for his many evolutions, Rainbow is uncertain as to which one she would want. Due to the factor of being up early in the morning, Eevee finally evolved into an Espeon that Rainbow loves very much. (And to her surprise, her once-beloved Eevee turned out to actually be a girl.) Also, much to her surprise, her Espeon turned out to be very much like a certain unicorn/alicorn hence why she eventually named her after said pony. Her attacks are Tackle, Leer, Bite, Helping Hand, Sand Attack, Growl, Baton Pass, Take Down, Last Resort, Trump Card, Confusion, Quick Attack, Swift, Psybeam, Future Sight, Psychic, Morning Sun, Power Swap, Toxic -another TM given to Rainbow by Riku- Shadow Ball, Psych Up and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Zoroark - Trickster (from Daycare Center)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Illusion





A Pokemon who Rainbow hatched from an egg, her Zorua has a mischievous streak that she uses quite well and surprisingly it's at her own trainer's expense. That won't change even now that the Pokemon -who Rainbow has taken to calling Trickster- has evolved into Zoroark. She loves to transform into Rainbow Dash on many occasions which frustrates her to no end. She does take her training very seriously, though. Her attacks are U-turn, Scratch, Leer, Pursuit, Hone Claws, Fake Tears, Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, Scary Face, Taunt, Foul Play, Night Slash, Torment, Agility, Embargo, Punishment, Nasty Plot, Imprison, Dark Pulse, Night Daze and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Golduck - Ditzy Do (Fishing)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Damp; Hidden Ability: Swift Swim





Caught on one of many -future- fishing expeditions by Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as a Psyduck, this Pokemon had quite the selection of names chosen for him once Rainbow had finally caught him. 'Quackley' and 'Mister Feathers' were good names in Fluttershy's eyes but finally the name of 'Ditzy Do,' or Ditzy as Rainbow has taken to call him, stuck. He's very loyal to both Rainbow and Fluttershy despite his headache, considers both Pegasi ponies his 'parents' and now that he's finally evolved into Golduck will show a more confident, bragging side to himself. His attacks are Scratch, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Disable, Confusion, Water Pulse, Fury Swipes, Screech, Psych Up, Zen Headbutt, Amnesia, Surf, Hail (a TM acquired from the Gym in Mahogany Town), Whirlpool, Hydro Pump and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Gallade - (from Daycare Center)

- Level 100
Special Ability: Steadfast; Hidden Ability: Justified





A young Psychic type Pokemon with quite the potential, Gallade is friendly and loyal to not only Rainbow Dash but also with his friends and fellow Pokemon on Team Dash. Rainbow's kept up training with Ralts immensely, but has yet to ask what gender her Pokemon is. Now that Ralts evolved into Kirlia, Rainbow finally discovers the answer as her Pokemon turns out to be a boy, evolving into Gallade after touching the Dawn Stone Rainbow had won at the last Bug Catching Contest. Gallade's attacks are Growl, Confusion, Double Team, Teleport, Lucky Chant, Magical Leaf, Calm Mind, Psychic, Imprison, Future Sight, Charm, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Stored Power, Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Fury Cutter, Slash, Swords Dance, Psycho Cut, Helping Hand, Feint, False Swipe, Protect and Close Combat.

[bestofthebest]

Corsola - Pinkie Pie (from Breeders' Convention)

- Level 100
Special Ability: Hustle; Hidden Ability: Regenerator





Purchased by Rainbow Dash along with two other Pokemon at the latest Breeders' Convention, now that her Pokemon has hatched she was taken aback at first by Pinkie's upbeat, optimistic and cheerful personality -and mostly because she has a Pink! Pokemon- but she'll grow to love her Corsola very much and name her after one of her best friends. Pinkie's attacks are Amnesia, Mist, Surf, Whirlpool, Tackle, Harden, Bubble, Recover, Refresh, Rock Blast, BubbleBeam, Lucky Chant, Ancient Power, Aqua Ring, Spike Cannon, Power Gem, Mirror Coat and Earth Power.

[bestofthebest]

Lapras - Luna (from Breeders' Convention)

- Level 100
Special Ability: Shell Armor; Hidden Ability: Hydration





Named after one of the two Princesses who protect Equestria, specifically the one once known as the evil Nightmare Moon, Luna is a gentle Pokemon who Rainbow -and Fluttershy, upon Rainbow's suggestion- will first bond with to show that humans can be trusted. She's very gentle and will prove to be very dedicated and trustworthy once she's trained with Rainbow. She'll gladly give Rainbow and her friends rides across large oceans throughout Johto and Kanto down the line. Her attacks are Surf, Strength, Waterfall, Rock Smash, Dragon Dance, Horn Drill, Safeguard, Hyper Beam, Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, Return, Ice Beam and Whirlpool.

[bestofthebest]

Empoleon - (from Breeders' Convention)

- Level 100
Special Ability: Torrent; Hidden Ability: Defiant





A very proud Pokemon who Rainbow did have to work with pretty hard before earning his trust, Piplup had first -as stated in the Pokedex- refused food from humans, especially Rainbow and her friends. Eventually, both trainer and Pokemon grew to love and care for the other. Piplup will be stubborn, protective and very loyal to Rainbow as his training takes shape. Finally, after a few months of allowing him to grow strong Rainbow allowed Piplup to make the decision for himself, and he chose to evolve to Prinplup before choosing once more to evolve to Empoleon. His attacks are Bubble, Surf, Pound, Growl, Water Sport, Peck, BubbleBeam, Bide, Fury Attack, Brine, Whirlpool, Mist, Drill Peck, Hydro Pump and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Dragonite - Spitfire (from Daycare Center)

- Level 100
Special Ability: Inner Focus; Hidden Ability: Multiscale





Rainbow jumped -not really, but almost- at the opportunity to obtain a Dratini for herself when she saw the Daycare Center was offering them, and this particular Dratini was bred with a number of moves prior to Rainbow getting it. She'll deny it if asked, but in a way, her friend Twilight was her inspiration to get and train one; her hopes were soon realized as her training was more than enough for Dratini to evolve to Dragonair, and then Dragonair to evolve into a powerful Dragonite.

After talking with Cadence, Rainbow finally decided to name her Dragonite, which is the fastest flyer out of the Dragon types, after the Captain of the Wonderbolts. Even after having evolved, Dragonite is a sweet, gentle Pokemon who fights out of necessity to protect those she cares about. Her attacks are Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, Surf, Wrap, Leer, Thunder Wave, Twister, Dragon Rage, Slam, Agility, Aqua Tail, Dragon Rush, Safeguard, Dragon Dance, Draco Meteor, Outrage and Fly.

[bestofthebest]

Aerodactyl - Rocky (from Daycare Center)


-Level 100
Special Ability: Rock Head; Hidden Ability: Unnerve





When Rainbow Dash purchased this Pokemon from the 'Center, she had absolutely NO idea she was obtaining a rare Pokemon from prehistoric times. Upon the glorious moment of the egg hatching, Rainbow was ecstatic at having another Flyer on Team Dash! After thinking on it for quite some time, she's chosen to name him Rocky because of his special ability Rock Head! His attacks are Ice Fang, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Wing Attack, Supersonic, Bite, Scary Face, Roar, Agility, AncientPower, Crunch, Take Down, Sky Drop, Iron Head, Hyper Beam, Sky Attack, Toxic, Double Team, Protect, Rock Slide, Steel Wing, Curse, Swift, Air Cutter, Dragon Pulse, Iron Tail, DragonBreath, Dragon Claw, Aerial Ace, Stone Edge, Sunny Day, Roost, Tailwind, Rock Smash, Strength and Fly.

[bestofthebest]

Pidgeot - Soarin' (from Daycare Center)


-Level 100
Special Ability: Tangled Feet; Hidden Ability: Big Pecks





When she initially saw this Pokemon on the PokeGear, Rainbow Dash dismissed it as a Flying type who could probably hold his own in battle but wouldn't find a place on Team Dash. Once finding out what Pidgey's final form was and the awesome abilities at his command, Dash changed her mind and immediately sought one for herself! Now that it's hatched from an egg, and evolved into Pidgeotto before finally evolving into Pidgeot, she'll train and care for the Pokemon named after a Wonderbolt just the same as anyone else on her team. His attacks are Fly, Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust, Quick Attack, Whirlwind, Twister, FeatherDance, Agility, Wing Attack, Roost, Heat Wave, Uproar and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Milotic - Missus Scales (from Fluttershy)

-Level 100
Special Ability: Marvel Scale; Hidden Ability: Cute Charm




Initially, Rainbow Dash purchased Feebas as an egg and gave her to Fluttershy in the hopes that she could see the Pokemon evolve into a beautiful Milotic. Sadly, she vanished long before any serious training could commence. Rainbow took back Feebas, now named Missus Scales who had undergone some training, and vows to care and train her best friend's Pokemon to the best of her ability. (During future Gym battles, Rainbow will refer to her Pokemon as Scales but when she's alone she'll call her by her full name.) Her attacks are Splash, Flail, Tackle, Water Gun, Wrap, Water Sport, Refresh, Water Pulse, Twister, Recover, Captivate, Aqua Tail, Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Attract, Safeguard, Aqua Ring and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Lopunny - Tenten (from Tenten)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Cute Charm; Hidden Ability: Limber





Rainbow Dash received one of her latest Pokemon eggs from one of her human/non-pony friends Tenten, though she didn't expect this type of 'Mon at first. As she made sure to tend and care for it, she was curious as to what it could be. When the aforementioned egg hatched, she's in complete disbelief for a while before deciding to name Buneary -who has since evolved into Lopunny due to the large amount of friendship from her trainer- after her friend from Konoha. Tenten's moves are Fake Out, Pound, Bounce, Rock Smash, Strength, Splash, Defense Curl, Foresight, Endure, Frustration, Quick Attack, Jump Kick, Baton Pass, Agility, Dizzy Punch, Charm, Healing Wish and Hyper Beam. (The moves Dizzy Punch, Quick Attack, Frustration and Pound get STAB when they're used.)

[bestofthebest]

Togekiss - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Serene Grace; Hidden Ability: Super Luck





Since seeing Fluttershy with a Togepi of her own, which had evolved into Togetic during Hearth's Warming Eve, Rainbow Dash has hoped for the chance to buy a little Normal type for herself, even knowing the inevitable 'cuteness' factor of said Pokemon that came with it and the evolved forms. She'll care for the Spike Ball Pokemon well and is pleased that after some huge ups and downs her Togepi finally evolved, even if she inherits certain 'traits' of her trainer's in the long run. She waited until arriving at one of the later cities in Johto before confirming that Togetic wanted to use the Shiny Stone to evolve into Togekiss. Her attacks are Future Sight, Growl, Charm, Metronome, Sweet Kiss, Yawn, Encore, Follow Me, Wish, AncientPower, Safeguard, Baton Pass, Double-Edge, Last Resort, Sky Attack, Extreme Speed, Aura Sphere, Air Slash and Fly.

[bestofthebest]

Pachirisu - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Pickup; Hidden Ability: Volt Absorb





A Pokemon with a hyperactive nature, Pachirisu will give Rainbow Dash a challenge to control as he's run around quite often while out of his Pokeball. She'll care for the Squirrel Pokemon much like her others but will find herself quite exasperated by his flighty personality. His attacks are Charm, Tail Whip, Sweet Kiss, Growl, Bide, Quick Attack, Spark, Endure, Swift, Discharge, Super Fang, Last Resort and Electro Ball.

[bestofthebest]

Scyther - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Swarm; Hidden Ability: Steadfast





Twilight once told Rainbow Dash that Bug-type Pokemon were strong against Psychic types. Then she found out about Scyther, a combination Bug/Flying type. Now that he's hatched under Rainbow's careful care she plans to teach her Scyther -who is proud and just as loyal to Dash as her other Pokemon- as many Bug-related moves as possible while keeping a few others in reserve if needed. His attacks are Counter, Endure, Night Slash, Vacuum Wave, Quick Attack, Leer, Focus Energy, Pursuit, False Swipe, Agility, Wing Attack, Fury Cutter, Slash, Razor Wind, Double Team, X-Scissor, Double Hit, Air Slash, Swords Dance, Feint and Reversal.

[bestofthebest]

Glaceon - Icy (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Snow Cloak; Hidden Ability: Ice Body





Rainbow Dash initially didn't plan on getting a second Eevee on her journey, but she noticed the long list of different evolutions Eevee takes while checking the PokeDex, and Espeon is only one of many. Eventually she procures another Eevee egg and once raising him to the proper level, she'll allow her Pokemon to make the decision on whether or not evolution should take place. When Rainbow picked her friend Spike up from Goldenrod, he gave her a bag that had items, TMs and Stones she could use down the line from their friend Rarity; one of them was Frozen Rock which she used to evolve Eevee into Glaceon. Due to a number of his ice-based attacks, Rainbow decided to name him Icy as a result of said abilities! His attacks are Helping Hand, Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand-Attack, Growl, Quick Attack, Bite, Covet, Take Down, Charm, Baton Pass, Double-Edge, Last Resort, Trump Card, Return, Double Team, Rest, Heal Bell, Rain Dance, Frost Breath (TM from Spike), Protect, Dig, Iron Tail, Attract, Toxic, Swagger, Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball, Endure, Sleep Talk, Snore, Icy Wind, Ice Shard, Ice Fang, Mirror Coat, Hail, Blizzard and Barrier.

[bestofthebest]

Escavalier - (during Bug Catching Contest)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Shell Armor; Hidden Ability: Overcoat





A Pokémon she might not have come across outside of Goldenrod, or even the park, Rainbow Dash found this pretty rare Pokémon while participating in the first of many Contests back in Goldenrod City! Her reasons for catching him aren't that hard to decipher: both in and out of battle, this Pokémon looks really cool to hang around! His attacks are Peck, Leer, Quick Guard, Twineedle, Fury Attack, Headbutt, False Swipe, Bug Buzz, Slash, Iron Head, Iron Defense, X-Scissor, Reversal, Swords Dance and Giga Impact. (The moves Twineedle, Bug Buzz, Iron Head and X-Scissor get STAB when used in battle.)

[bestofthebest]

Gliscor - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Hyper Cutter; Hidden Ability: Poison Heal





A Pokemon who she was initially curious about, Dash will be taken aback by her Gligar's hyperactive nature -not quite like Pinkie's, or Pinkie's but close enough- and his repeated tendencies to jump onto everyone's head as a form of affection. She'll do her best to train him, but this particular action will be one that isn't remedied so easily especially not when he finally evolves into Gliscor. His attacks are Night Slash, Quick Attack, Agility, Wing Attack, Fury Cutter, Slash, Razor Wind, Double Team, X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Feint and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Absol - (from Tenten)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Super Luck; Hidden Ability: Justified





Rainbow Dash was excited about possibly getting an Absol, especially since one of her first ever non-pony friends, Imogen has one. When her friend Tenten was offering up more Pokemon eggs, she jumped at the chance to get one. She'll care for the Dark Pokemon a lot once he's hatched which will undoubtedly help her a lot in future battles. His attacks are Faint Attack, Bite, Rock Smash, Strength, Dark Pulse, Iron Tail, Scratch, Feint, Leer, Taunt, Quick Attack, Razor Wind, Pursuit, Swords Dance, Double Team, Slash, Future Sight, Sucker Punch, Detect, Night Slash, Me First, Psycho Cut and Perish Song.

[bestofthebest]

Haunter - Prankster (from John)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Levitate





Rainbow's heard about the various number of Ghost Pokemon on her travels in Johto, and the very first Gym she won her badge at was against Morty, a Ghost Pokemon specialist! So when she found out that Ghost Pokemon were available, she couldn't wait to snatch one up. This one will be just as tricky to raise as her Trickster, as Rainbow found out once the Ghost type hatched and now that he's evolved into Haunter Rainbow will occasionally get frustated but won't stop loving her Pokemon; due to his joyful nature and love for pranks she's decided to name him Prankster. His attacks are Astonish, Disable, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Curse, Night Shade, Payback, Hex, Toxic, Protect, Return, Double Team, Rest, Dark Pulse, Icy Wind, Ominous Wind, Pain Split, Snore, Sleep Talk, Skill Swap and Trick.

[bestofthebest]

Chimchar - (from Riku)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Blaze; Hidden Ability: Iron Fist





As it's been quite a long time since Rainbow Dash wanted a Fire type -acquiring both Dash -Rapidash- and Tails -Vulpix- on Hearth's Warming Eve- when her friend Riku was offering up quite a lot of Pokemon eggs, she made sure to get ahold of the aspiring Chimp Pokemon! (Like Pikachu, Chimchar is one of a few of Rainbow's Pokemon who refuses to evolve. Until he deems ot necessary, she will respect his wishes.) His attacks are Protect, Uproar, Taunt, Rollout, Headbutt, Facade, Sleep Talk, Rest, Fire Punch, Substitute, Toxic, Protect and Double Team.

[bestofthebest]

Staraptor - Fleetfoot (near Violet City)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Intimidate; Hidden Ability: Reckless





It's been quite some time since Rainbow Dash has caught a wild Pokemon, and in this case she was just trying to alleviate her boredom! While getting around to making her own 'Wonderbolt-themed' team of Pokemon, a wild Starly happened to separate from her group which gave Rainbow the opportunity to catch her. She named the Flying type after the member of the Wonderbolts who, as Rarity once described after hearing Rainbow discuss it, 'what Fleetfoot lacks in size, she makes up for in speed.' Rainbow's dreams were answered on the day when her Starly evolved into Staravia, and finally, a powerful Staraptor. Her attacks are Fly, U-turn, Tackle, Growl, Quick Attack, Wing Attack, Double Team, Endeavor, Whirlwind, Aerial Ace, Take Down, Agility, Brave Bird, Final Gambit and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Oshawott - (from Riku)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Torrent; Hidden Ability: Shell Armor





Along with Chimchar, Rainbow saw another Pokemon that had potential to be a great member on her team in Oshawott, so she acquired that egg from Riku the same time as Chimchar. Once both eggs hatch, Chimchar and Oshawott will train their hardest for Rainbow, but both will see each other as rivals for their trainer's love even if both don't really need to fight over it. (Much like Pikachu and Chimchar, Oshawott refuses to evolve for the time being.) His attacks are Night Slash, Ice Beam, Taunt, Swords Dance, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Screech, Toxic, Icy Wind, Fling, Surf, Protect, Double Team and Rest.

[bestofthebest]

Glameow - Opalescence (from Rarity)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Own Tempo; Hidden Ability: Keen Eye





Rainbow hadn't expected to procure a Glameow anytime soon, but the Cat Pokemon was drawn to her, in a way, after the sudden departure of Rarity. Once claiming Opal for her own, she promised to take care of the Pokemon much like she had with Missus Scales, though she'll do whatever it takes not to make Glameow evolve. (She's seen her evolved form on the PokeGear.) Thankfully, Glameow agrees with Rainbow's statement wholeheartedly and appreciates her trainer's judgment. Her attacks are Fake Out, Scratch, Growl, Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, Slash, Assist, Charm and Hypnosis.

[bestofthebest]

Tropius - (from Minoriko)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Chlorophyll; Hidden Ability: Harvest





Rainbow was only mildly surprised when she looked up 'Tropius' on the PokeDex and found a Grass/Flying type as the main picture so when she saw that one was actually being offered, she knew this was her opportunity to obtain one! He will be a gentle giant, determined to do whatever it takes to protect his trainer in and out of battle whenever possible. His attacks are Razor Leaf, Sweet Scent, Synthesis, Magical Leaf, Energy Ball, Cut, Leech Seed and Nature Power.

[bestofthebest]

Eevee - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Adaptability (increases STAB from 1.5x to 2x in battle); Hidden Ability: Anticipation





Rainbow figured that, with one Eevee evolved into Espeon and the other evolved into Glaceon, two Eevees would be enough. Not really! Three Eeveelutions should be more than enough for this cyan-colored Pegasus. (Hopefully.) Also, much like Pikachu, Chimchar and Oshawott before her, Eevee has chosen not to evolve for the time being. Her attacks are Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand, Sand-Attack, Growl, Quick Attack, Bite, Baton Pass, Take Down, Last Resort, Trump Card, Swift, Detect, Endure, Return, and Hidden Power.

[bestofthebest]

Staryu - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Natural Cure; Hidden Ability: Analytic






Rainbow was curious about having a Pokemon shaped like a star, especially once seeing a Staryu being offered on the Network. So, she made sure to get herself one as soon as possible. Once hatched, she'll make sure to diligently train and raise her Water Pokemon just as much as her other Water types while awed at the fact she has a Starshape Pokemon! Once procuring a Water Stone for herself, and now that her Pokemon's reached the highest level possible, Rainbow will see if Staryu decides to evolve into a Starmie or not. Her attacks are Tackle, Harden, Water Gun, Rapid Spin, Recover, Camouflauge, Swift, BubbleBeam, Minimize, Gyro Ball, Light Screen, Power Gem, Cosmic Power & Hydro Pump.

[bestofthebest]

Swellow - Rapid Fire (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Guts; Hidden Ability: Scrappy





Rainbow was determined to get at least really close to completing her team of Wonderbolts Pokemon, so sometime after reuniting with her friends she contacted the Daycare Center and was sent a few Pokemon eggs, two of which contained Flying Pokemon! Once Taillow hatches, she'll immediately name him after another one of the Wonderbolts, and will do her best to train him like she has her other Pokemon; eventually, he levelled up enough to evolve into a Swellow. His attacks are Peck, Growl, Focus Energy, Quick Attack, Wing Attack, Double Team, Endeavor, Aerial Ace, Agility, Air Slash, Fly and Hyper Beam.

[bestofthebest]

Unfezant - Misty Fly (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Good Luck; Hidden Ability: Rivalry





Another Flying Pokemon that Rainbow had gotten ahold of was Pidove, a Pokemon that finally evolved into an Unfezeant after levelling up. Once hatched, Rainbow named her after another Wonderbolt, pleased that her collection is practically complete with the acquisition of this Flying Pokemon! Her attacks are Gust, Growl, Leer, Quick Attack, Air Cutter, Roost, Detect, Taunt, Air Slash, Razor Wind, FeatherDance, Swagger, Facade, Tailwind, Sky Attack and Fly.

[bestofthebest]

Poliwrath - (from Daycare Center)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Damp; Hidden Ability: Swift Swim





Rainbow chose a Water Pokemon that she'd never seen before except for on the Pokedex for her last Pokemon egg, and will be completely surprised once he's hatched into a Poliwag. She'll struggle a little bit since this Water type won't always be able to walk straight, but training him will be exciting for the former Pegasus which pays off when he evolves into Poliwhirl! She left it up to him on using a Water Stone to evolve into Poliwrath, and he decided to do just that. His attacks are Water Sport, Bubble, Hypnosis, Water Gun, DoubleSlap, Rain Dance, Body Slam, BubbleBeam, Mud Shot, Belly Drum, Wake-Up Slap, Hydro Pump, Mud Bomb and Surf.

[bestofthebest]

Kingler - Soul (from Maka)


-Level 100
Special Ability: Shell Armor; Hidden Ability: Sheer Force





The ironic part about this member of Rainbow's team? She didn't even battle to catch it! When discovering that one of her non-pony friends, Maka, was in the middle of battling a Krabby, Rainbow admitted she wouldn't mind getting one for her team and to her surprise and joy, Maka allowed her to keep the fainted Pokemon! Once meeting up with her in Ecruteak, the exchange was made. She decided to name her Pokemon, who has recently evolved into Kingler, after Maka's closest friend. His attacks are Mud Sport, Bubble, ViceGrip, Leer, Harden, BubbleBeam, Mud Shot, Metal Claw, Stomp, Protect, Guillotine, Slam, Brine, Crabhammer and Flail.

[bestofthebest]

Phanpy - Trunks (from Tenten)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Pickup; Hidden Ability: Sand Veil





After procuring a Buneary -which has since evolved into Lopunny- and an Absol from one of her best non-pony friends, Rainbow decided she needed a Pokémon that was resistant to Electric-type attacks in preparation for the inevitable trek to Vermillion and the battle with it's Gym Leader. OMC, Rainbow's actually PLANNING AHEAD! To that end, she was able to obtain a Phanpy and while she loves the little guy, she gets a little loopy -and frustrated- now and then due to the way he shows affection: by hitting her and everypony else with his nose, which knocks them off their feet. (Rainbow has taken to naming him Trunks as a result.) It's only recently that Trunks has reached the highest level possible but much like previously mentioned Pokemon on Rainbow's team, he has chosen not to evolve into Donphan. His attacks are Fissure, Tackle, Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Take Down, Earthquake, Rock Smash, Strength, Iron Tail and Toxic.

Lucario - Sakura (from Sasuke)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Inner Focus; Hidden Ability: Justified





Initially shy and introverted from the day she was born, Sakura struggled to connect with the other Pokémon, growing close to Ino (Crobat) one day as she approached her and became a supporting figure in her life, encouraging Sakura to branch out to the other Pokémon. Although she's still hesitent with Pokémon she's never met before, which she will be upon meeting Rainbow's Pokémon, Ino's presence will help a lot and with time she will be much more bright and cheerful now that she grows used to the similar warm environment around her with Rainbow Dash as her trainer who turned out to be not like Sasuke at all except for the love and care she gave to her team.

She is sensitive to others' moods and often approaches a little cautiously when she wants to help, but when told to back off she will not approach again until she senses their aura changing into something more amiable, showing that she is still quite timid. By reading the auras of all things, she can tell how others are feeling from over half a mile away. But, there is almost no stopping her when she becomes furious and she reacts rashly, often regretting her actions afterward should the results be unfavourable. She's quite strong-willed from her experiences with Sasuke and over time grew used to Rainbow Dash's style of training. Her attacks are Agility, Quick Attack, Foresight, Endure, Counter, Force Palm, Feint, Reversal, Screech, Copycat, Dark Pulse, Detect, Metal Claw, Bone Rush, Metal Sound, Me First, Quick Guard, Swords Dance, Heal Pulse, Calm Mind, Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Dragon Pulse, Extremespeed, Magnet Rise and Strength.

Crobat - Ino (from Sasuke)


- Level 100
Special Ability: Inner Focus; Hidden Ability: Infiltrator





Even though she loves to eat and has a docile nature, Ino has a playful side as she picks and teases at the other Pokémon for the sake of getting them irritated with her, although she never does it in mean spirits. She's often seen supporting the other Pokémon and is particularly protective over Sakura (Lucario), having seen her shyness at a younger age and having gained the maternal desire to see her grow to be strong. (She will continue her supporting nature with Rainbow's own Pokémon but will occasionally team with particular Pokémon -such as Trickster and Prankster for teasing and Daring for supporting others- once she's grown used to their personalities.) Not that she won't pick on Sakura as well, but she seems to go easier on her than she does everyone else.

Once growing used to her new trainer, Ino will prove to be very protective of strange Pokémon who get close to her; like Sasuke, if she doesn't recognize the Pokémon she will jealously guard Rainbow Dash with intense vigor until she can trust the cyan-haired girl is at least all right with the other Pokémon's presence. (She used to do this with trainers as well, although that seems to have toned down as of late.) Ino's attacks are Leech Life, Supersonic, Astonish, Bite, Wing Attack, Confuse Ray, Swift, Air Cutter, Mean Look, Acrobatics, Poison Fang, Cross Poison, Screech, Haze, Air Slash and Fly.

Skarmory - Blades (from Tenten)


- Level 80
Special Ability: Sturdy; Hidden Ability: Weak Armor





The only Pokémon on Rainbow's team that isn't at level 100 for the time being, Rainbow's pleased to have yet another flyer on her team since she procured the Flying/Steel type from a dear friend in Tenten. Giving her Pokémon the name of a similar subject Tenten loved talking about in regard to the Skarmory, Blades -yes, the intent was plural- already knew some attacks when hatching but Dash took it upon herself to make sure she learned more. Her attacks are Assurance, Pursuit, Toxic, Fly, Tailwind, Roost, Sky Attack, Leer, Peck, Sand Attack, Swift, Agility, Fury Attack, Feint, Air Cutter, Spikes, Metal Sound, Steel Wing, Air Slash, Slash, Night Slash, Autonomize, Roar, and Hidden Power.
