Various Giacomo Headcanons Pt. 2

Giacomo dropped out of the academy before the rest of the Team Star leaders; that is why his Pokémon are considerably weaker than the rest of the squad, and why he is the first leader that the game suggests you to defeat.

He still kept in touch with Mela, Atticus, Ortega and Eri of course. Giacomo came back into orbit when "Cassiopia" gathered the five of them in order to form Team Star and initiate Operation Star.

His battle strategies come from watching YouTube videos and livestreams of professional dark type specialists in action. Some of his favorite trainers to study are Grimsley from Unova's Elite Four, Piers from the Galar League, and Atoma's dark type Gym Leader, Strelitzia.

When he does eventually put together his full team, Giacomo uses a highly offensive strategy, focusing on physical attackers boosting his Pokémon's attack states, and whittling down the opponent with stat reducing moves; two of his Pokémon, Mabosstiff and Krookodile, have access to Intimidate.

He's currently looking to add a sixth member to his party; Giacomo would really like a Scraggy, though finding such a Pokémon is impossible in Paldea.

Segin Squad Headcanons!

They're the most rowdy group of the Star Squads, and often compete with the Schedar Squad for the title of "most obnoxious".

Most of them were students following a computer science, music or art path in the academy.

Every Friday night is rave night, with DJ Vice partying it up behind the deck. It's not uncommon for Segin Squad members to customize their outfits with glow-in-the-dark accessories, glowstick necklaces and other various flashy objects.

Similar vibe to The Deckers from Saints Row III, not nearly as crime-oriented of course. They all have sticky fingers though, watch your wallets.

Night owls. You won't catch any of them awake before 11 am.

The official video game of the Segin Squad is Beat Saber. Giacomo does NOT have the high score, however, but he loves playing it with them.

Sometimes they mount a video projector (stolen of course) on top of the Segin Starmobile and project movies, games and livestreams onto the back of the largest building in their base.

The Segin Starmobile's nickname is "The Party Van." Revavroom thinks nothing of it.
