Groj-Pokémon Headcannons
Headcannons on the Pokémon teams for Grojband characters and explanation for choices under cut (warning: long post)
Corey
Galar Zigzagoon (wanted an Obstagoon added to his team)
Fuecoco (Skeledirge - singing starter - fits Corey well)
Toxel - Hasty Nature - later Toxtricity Amped form (amped form Toxtricity has 6 electric organs on its chest that it strums - similar to Corey’s 6-stringed guitar)
Pikachu (reference to when he dressed as a knock-off Pikachu)
Cubone (Skull head = Skull beanie? Yes.)
Cosmog (Wanted him to have a legendary on his team, but for him and all his friends to be completely unaware it's a legendary - reference to his own unawareness of his rock-godhood. Either Cosmog or Kubfu)
Laney
Litten (striped starter? Fits Laney well imo)
Kricketot (violin reference from Queen Bee)
Toxel (shiny) - Careful Nature - later Toxtricity Low Key form (Pokémon shield’s dex entry compares the low key form’s strumming to a bass guitar)
Kirlia (Reference to her hair… Later it evolves into Gardevior to fight off Trina’s Bewear)
Mimikyu (creepy cute aesthetic fits Laney well)
Alola Rattata (reference to biteface)
Kin
Blipbug (I mean… it just looks like him)
Varoom (reference to the groj-car)
Ducklett (reference to Stunt Duck - could be switched out for Quaxly for a starter)
Rotom (Wanted to add a ghost type to match the soul-camera that Kin made in Soulin' Down the Road)
Plusle (To match with Kon)
Magnemite
Kon
Grookey (Rillaboom is literally a drummer)
Munchlax (eating)
Applin (Appletum seems like it would go well with Kon, plus the whole ‘Give an Applin to your sweetheart’ fits well with Kon’s hopeless romantic nature)
Whismur (headcannon Kon is the “loud” one of the band)
Minun (To match with Kin)
Mabosstiff (reference to Kon-dog. Also, Mabosstiff’s coat seems like something Kon would love to style/take care of - throughout the show, Kon has shown caring about his own hair)
Trina
Sylveon (pink + ribbons… need I say more?)
Spritzee (reference to beep-bop-a-loofah and Trina’s obsession with smelling nice)
Luvdisc (reference to all the heart motifs associated with Trina)
Stufful (Cute but dangerous… fits Trina to a “T”. Plus, can see her sending it after the band to torment them)
Skitty/Glameow (Cat Pokémon to reference wheelie… Skitty matches the pink theme better, but Glameow looks more like Wheelie…)
Tinkatuff (Pokedex description “fiesty and cute”... fits Trina pretty well)
Mina
Meowth (reference to Dr. Purrs)
Phanpy (colors seem like they’d match well with Mina)
Shieldon (reference to love of history - wanted her to have a fossil pokemon)
Spewpa (evolves into Vivillon - A caterpillar waiting to evolve into a butterfly seemed like it would be a good theme for Mina)
Ditto (reference to her conforming to whatever Trina wants)
Lampent (Seems like a useful pokemon to have when reading late at night)
Nick
Eevee (Just matches his aesthetic)
Smeargle (reference to his painting ability)
Herdier (reference to Dog-Nick from Dance of the Dead)
Raboot (similar red jacket looks)
Vanillish (Needed an ice type, and serves as a reference to him eating ice cream in Hear Us Rock)
Tyrunt (Wanted a fossil type to reference Nick’s respect for history as shown in War and Peaceville)
Carrie
Misdreavus (both have hats)
Morpeko (meant to contrast Corey's Pikachu)
Alolan Meowth (reference to Dr. Purrs and contrast to her sister’s Meowth)
Noibat (Had to have a dragon type on Carrie's team, and Noivern fits her aesthetic)
Tododile (Starter - mainly just cause it's blue and spikey)
Scraggy (I think older Carrie enjoys wearing baggy pants, okay?)
Larry
Hisui Zorua (sad eye boys)
Chatot (music pokemon)
Budew (color matches with the red and greens)
Charcadet
Ralts (Look similar hair-wise. Meant to contrast Laney's Kirlia)
Chikorita (Thought the more "feminine" looking starter paired with the boy who gets mistaken for a girl would be fun)
Kim
Joltik (electric type - plus the spikey yellow reminds her of Konnie)
Castform (science pokemon for the mad scientist)
Oricorio (purple) (matches with Konnie)
Charjabug (aesthetic contrast to Kin's blipbug)
Chingling (obligatory music-themed Pokémon)
Tadbulb (...I think Bellibolt is adorable, okay?)
Konnie
Tepig (starter - originally debated giving to Kon but grookey felt like a better fit, so Konnie gets tepig)
Spinda (meant to contrast Kon's Whismur. Headcannon Konnie as ditzy, so the perpetually confused Spinda felt like a good match)
Oricorio (Yellow) (matches with Kim)
Pawmi (Pawmot's fluffy hair reminded me of Konnie's)
Flaafy (Ampharos seemed like a good fit for Konnie)
Makuhita (The round fighting type pokemon seems a good fit for Konnie)
Whew! That was a lot of Pokémon!
