Britt's shiny team headcanons!
So... nobody asked for this, but I wanted to do it anyway since I'm happy to have completed my first shiny team for Sword and Shield.
Since I love my virtual monsters a lot, I wanted to give them some personalities and share them with you.
My team includes some pokémon that I've hatched in SwSh and shinies from previous games.
I'm currently working on making a shiny team for everyone of my favourite types, so a shiny fairy team, a shiny dragon team and a shiny poison team.
Anyways... meet my sparkly squad!
• You're never sure whether you want to pet him or punch him.
• Lucian has attitude, and he's not afraid to use it.
• He's the kind of pokémon who enjoys the company of a very small elite group of individuals, and the rest of the world is absolute garbage to him.
• On one hand, he can be extremely loyal to those he loves and will fight with all of his pretty boy might.
• On the other hand, if he finds someone to be unworthy of his time, he can be downright aggressive and rude to them.
• His facial expressions don't lie. If he finds someone disgusting, it'll show. A lot.
• Britt had a hard time fitting him in a team. She had to figure out a group of pokémon where Lucian tolerated at least 50% of them, all the while making sure that the selected group could handle him and his marvellous attitude.
• Lucian is kind of a player.
• He loves hanging out with female pokémon and is very smooth with them, but he doesn't care for hanging with the male pokémon.
• He steers clear of Red Death as Lucian has had to deal with a few Waterfalls to the face for being an annoyance.
• He doesn't mind Snuggles as the little ball of fluff is very oblivious to his surroundings.
• Lucian is mostly seen hanging out with Nully. Since Nully is genderless, Lucian doesn't see them as a potential mate or rival.
• Although, whether they're friends or not is up for debate.
• Even when he was a small Eevee, he had a superiority complex, but that doubled when he evolved into a Sylveon.
• He's, thankfully, very supportive of his trainer and will always try to hang on even in the toughest of fights. He's constantly shaking off statuses and damage as to not worry Britt.
• He loves having Britt's attention and will demand head pats at all times.
• He's difficult to get through, but with a bit of patience, he's a good boy once you know the proper approach to his odd personality.
• The rest of the team respects him, but they know how to (and will) deal with his shit when things get too hectic.
• Big girl, gentle girl.
• She looks threatening, but she's the softest dragon you'll ever meet.
• She's very shy and has a hard time mingling with other groups of pokémon, always being on the sidelines and watching others play.
• She wants to play too, but she's so timid, so she mostly stays by pokémon she knows or Britt.
• She likes playing with smaller pokémon better because she finds larger pokémon to be frightening.
• The exception is Red Death. He's big, but Shortcake seems to like him because he's pretty calm for a Gyarados.
• She plays ball with Snuggles the Wooloo quite often. Sometimes, Snuggles is the ball.
• Unlike most dragons, Shortcake loves sweet fruity dishes over spicy meat dishes.
• Very good girl. Will lay her head in Britt's lap to nap.
• Pat that head. She loves pats.
• She lacks elegance and is very clumsy. She trips over her own feet quite often.
• She's self-conscious, so please tell her she's adorable. We need to boost that confidence.
• She's very powerful in battle, packing moves like Outrage, Swords Dance, Earthquake and Poison Jab, but she's usually the last resort pokémon. She's aware of her strength, and she doesn't want to harm others.
• When she was an Axew, she had the habit of hiding behind Britt whenever strangers approached. She's a bit too big to do that anymore, but she still does it, even if you can plainly see the huge Haxorous behind Britt.
• Nully is very wary of others and still has a hard time trusting others.
• Unless another pokémon of the team comes up to them, they don't really talk to other pokémon.
• It's not because they don't like the others! They just prefer to keep to themself. They really do respect every other pokémon on the team and will absolutely defend them with their life.
• All other pokémon of the team treat them with respect and they have become the team leader, which is a title that Nully is rather fond of.
• Nully actually likes having a cutesy nickname over having a threatening name as they want to be seen as more than just a freaky fighting machine.
• They mainly run the Poison Disk. They know how much Britt loves Poison-types, and they wanted to make her happy. They ended up really liking the Poison Disk, however, due to how many resistances they have because of it.
• When Britt is running with her shiny team, Nully likes to stay out of their Poké Ball. They always want to be by her side and make sure that she is safe.
• Nully is extremely close to Britt. After all, she saved them and gave them a better life. They have a lot of respect, love and admiration for what she did for them.
• As a Type: Null, they were very difficult. They were always cowering in a corner in a very defensive posture and wouldn't hesitate to attack if Britt got to close.
• It took a lot of patience and empathy to reach out to them, but Nully is glad that she did.
• Nully genuinely gets upset when other trainers call them a freak. It's not their fault that they were created that way.
• It's okay. Britt will fistfight anyone who insults her baby.
• Britt doesn't want to play favourites, buuuuuut... Nully ♡
• Dumpling is more elegant than you will ever be. Deal with it.
• Seriously, she never misses a beat in whatever she's doing. She's the complete opposite of her trainer where she's absolutely not clumsy and Britt is, well... Britt.
• She acts like she's too sophisticated to battle, but no one is fooled by that. Everyone knows that she enjoys a good ass-whoopin'.
• Dumpling enjoys high-quality food and is a very picky eater. She won't accept anything lower than a Copperajah Class dish.
• Dumpling has good taste in fashion and has a very strong opinion on Britt's fashion choices. She's often out of her Poké Ball whenever Britt is shopping for some help on choosing an outfit.
• Since Britt's fashion sense is... fairly lacking, Dumpling often blows a bit of snow/ice in her trainer's face to voice her disapproval whenever she judges that the chosen outfit is ugly and/or unfit for the occasion.
• However, Dumpling and Britt are very close and share a strong girl's bond. Their bond can rival the one that Britt and Nully have.
• After all, Britt raised Dumpling from an egg, so she's practically a mother to Dumpling.
• Speaking of which, she gets along very well with Nully. She's one of the few pokémon that Nully will voluntarily speak to.
• She's often seen perched on Britt's head or on Nully's back.
• When she was a baby Snom, she used to tuck herself in Britt's pockets, but she's obviously too big for that anymore. That's why she goes for Britt's head instead, which is fine as she weighs nothing.
• She's a night owl and will often wander about at night when everyone is sleeping.
• If Britt is travelling at night, she'll follow along outside of her Poké Ball to enjoy the nighttime with her trainer.
• She's very fond of music, especially soft piano tunes.
• It doesn't come as much of a surprise that she loves a good singing voice, her cry is very melodic.
• If she was human, she'd most likely sing like an angel.
• Don't let his name fool you, he's very calm and very difficult to annoy. It really takes a lot to phase him.
• Well, unless you're battling against him, of course.
• Unlike Britt's other Gyarados (Wrath), he's very obedient and easy to control.
• Red Death and Wrath do not get along. At all. Their personalities are much too different.
• Wrath sees Red Death as a rival that he needs to dethrone, while Red Death sees Wrath as a childish brute.
• He's much more mature and wiser than a good portion of Britt's pokémon.
• He's often meditating or practicing his Dragon Dances in a lake.
• 100% has a crush on Shortcake.
• He's extremely protective of the shy dragon. He's constantly staring at her or playing with her.
• They always look so happy to be in each other's company.
• They're probably secretly together.
• He doesn't hate Lucian, but RD's patience is always on thin ice when it comes to the arrogant Sylveon.
• He's usually the one to put Lucian back in his place. A few Waterfalls never hurt anyone, right?
• Since Gyarados are notorious for being violent, people are usually very wary around him.
• He doesn't understand why. He's calm and clearly not displaying any form of anger, so what's the issue?
• He doesn't notice that his face is naturally contorted into an expression of pure fury.
• It's okay, those who are close to him know better.
• He's a good boy who will give you piggyback rides along bodies of water and genuinely enjoys playing in the water with his trainer.
• Sometimes, he'll use his tail to splash Britt, forgetting that he's 6.5 meters long and absolutely sends her flying across the water.
• It's all in good fun though. No offence taken or harm done.
• The baby of the group.
• Everyone loves Snuggles.
• It's impossible to dislike Snuggles.
• It's illegal to dislike him.
• Even Lucian likes him.
• Snuggles is very oblivious to his surroundings and will bump into everything whenever he's rolling around.
• He only has one brain cell that pings around his head like a windows screen saver.
• He's cute, so it's forgivable.
• He's pure and untainted by the ugliness of the world. The team wants to keep him innocent.
• He has never shown interest in evolving, so he's an overpowered level 100 ball of fluffy destruction.
• He actually loves to battle and thinks that they are very fun!
• Britt loves to use him in battle to add salt to the stinging wound of defeat.
• Not many people can keep their pride intact after being yeeted to the next century by a dopey-looking Wooloo.
• Leon still has nightmares about Snuggles.
• Loves to cuddle his trainer at night to keep her warm.
• He really is the best blanket.
• He needs to be brushed at least twice a day. Gotta keep that wool nice and shiny!
• He wears a soothe bell around his neck outside of battle but has an eviolite during battles. Bulky and friendly ball of floof!
• Don't you dare insult him!
• It's not that you'll hurt his feelings, insults fly way over his head.
• But you'll personally offend an angry short stack of a trainer, a sea serpent, a dragon, a frozen moth, a man-made fighting machine and a pretty boy.
• Snuggles is loved. Very much.
