Pokémon but I badly edited Onion Headlines onto it

Part 2, Part 3

I like to think that Rose is unfamiliar with regional Meowths

I love when pokemon games use a character’s team to tell us more about them.

Take Ghetsis from black and white 2 for example. Did you know that his Hydreigon can use the move frustration at maximum power? frustration is a move that gets more powerful the more a pokemon dislikes their trainer, which means that Ghetsis’ Hydreigon literally hates him.

Did you know that his Hydreigon is also a whole ten levels below when the pokemon would normally evolve? While this isn’t uncommon for NPC’s in pokemon games, you could make the argument that this specific instance of it suggests that Ghetsis somehow forced his pokemon to evolve earlier than it ever would have naturally, which isn’t exactly out of character for him.

I’m not even done with Ghetsis and his affront towards nature yet lmao. Did you also know that his Hydreigon is specifically designed to counter N’s team? Y’know, his own foster son.

It has dragon pulse for his legendary

Fire blast for his Vanillux and Klingklang

And focus blast for Carracosta, Zoroark and Archeops

He also has a Cofagrigus who can nullify the legendary’s ability with his mummy ability.

It’s very likely that no matter the outcome of N’s battle with us, Ghetsis was always going to turn on his son to take the dragon for himself. And looking at his team I could believe he would succeed.

Let's look at a slightly more recent example.

In pokemon sword and shield, chairman Rose actually does some preparations before waking up Eternatus, specifically it seems that he did some research into Eternatus’ typing (Poison/Dragon) and designed his team to counter it. He brought a full team of steel types to fight it, which are not only immune to poison but also heavily resist dragon as well. With everything he knew, it really was one of the smartest choices he could have made.

But if he was so prepared then how did Eternatus wipe the floor with him so quickly? Surely he could have easily defeated the legendary and capture it himself right? 

Well there was one thing Rose didn’t take into account when designing his team. One thing he couldn’t have possibly known, even with his extensive research into the creature.

Eternatus knows flame thrower.

He brought nothing but steel types.

He never stood a chance.

I think I got this accurate enough lol (Piers isn't really a villain himself btw, I still consider him the leader of a more mildly antagonistic group tho)

Maxie's is in reference to this btw:

[battlevilla]

A new Pokémon Masters trailer just dropped and I can't help but love this chart showcasing the relationships between the villainous teams. Everyone wants to kick Giovanni's ass but then we have N and Colress with Ghetsis.

''We need to take down Team Rocket but after that? You are next.''

instagram story pkmn requests, wanted to get a little experimental w my colouring here :] think i may stick to it

[ourobororos]

once upon a time i wanted to draw the pokebosses all as cats and i finally got around to finishing it 😼 i like the idea of interpreting them as regular #normal cats.... some thoughts and hcs for them below the cut bc its fun to stink about

giovanni- classic tuxedo tomcat. well taken care of but spends a lot of time prowling around... kind of the leader of the local outdoor cat community. social and charming but will always win a fight if challenged

maxie- very vocal siamese... usually stays indoors but occasionally goes out + likes to roll around in dirt. standoffish and doesnt like to be pet + gets into fights constantly with the annoying tabby next door

archie- scruffy long haired tabby who spends most of his time outdoors, esp by rivers to stare at the fish... very friendly to everyone but likes picking fights with the stuck-up siamese cat next door

cyrus- exclusively indoor tiny sphynx. glares at all the outdoor cats through the window on his tall perch

ghetsis- fluffy male tortoiseshell. nobody knows where he lives, seen outside a lot but always well-groomed and well-fed. charming so you let your guard down and then he swats when you least expect it

lysandre- massive purebred maine coon... extremely pampered and only gets the royal treatment from his owners of course. rarely goes outside and is grossed out by all the outdoor cats and their dirty coats

guzma- huge scruffy tabby, rare ghost coloration. escaped his home young and became the leader of a group of feral stray cats... aggressive and REFUSES to get caught by humans without putting up a fight

lusamine- purebred ragdoll... very fancy show cat part of a line of them- never ever goes outside but likes chatting with the outdoor cats through her custom built catio screen. always showing off her kittens

rose- purebred british shorthair, very friendly but out of touch and gets picked on by the other cats due to his pampering and rarely going outdoors. skittish and picky about his food

colress- russian blue. nobody knows if hes a well taken care of stray or an outdoor housecat, but travels far and wide and never stays put for long. the cats think he and ghetsis might be from the same household(?) but nobody knows the truth

And if you’re wondering where Cyrus is

He’s currently avoiding literally everyone

Chairman Rose - Judgment (10/12)

Judgment is the card of self evaluation, purpose, and reflection. When reversed, judgment indicates a lack of self awareness.

Available on my redbubble!

[medichamcham]

real talk.

[greatdisaster]

brothers

[dwellermasked87]

Got very curious and decided to make this poll

[gooberdotnet]

[jadeazora]

Team Leaders (/assorted main villains) version! Obligatory Penny and Piers are only counted because they're the leaders of the "antagonist" teams, tho they're not really villains themselves.

Cyrus generally gets about 3hrs of sleep a week on average, when he actually does sleep, he could sleep thru the end of the world. It makes a road trip with all these other idiots bearable.

Colress mostly doing the "Are we there yet?" to piss Ghetsis off. He stops after they leave Ghetsis stranded.

I JUST HAD A FUCKING REVELATION. YOU KNOW HOW BEDE IS PROMOTED TO FAIRY GYM LEADER?? AND HOW FAIRY TYPES ARE WEAK TO POISON AND STEEL??? GUESS WHO FUCKING HAS POISON AND STEEL AS THEIR ACE.
