"Centered around its leader, the flock dances in perfect sync to strengthen its unity." - Swanna, Scarlet pokedex

AHA I finally got around to drawing some more of this au!! I had Nice's team realized for a while.

Nice's partner pokémon is Swanna. I think swans in general suit Nice very well and I imagine it sees the most fan meets and marketing due to how elegant it is.

Zangoose doesn't fit with his aesthetic. It's rough around the edges and unfortunately has seen its share of dirty work from Shang De. It doesn't appear in public battles. Zangoose is also the only member of Nice's team to stay with Lin Ling after he becomes the Commoner.

Miss J worked long and hard to get Nice a shiny Mienfoo - the pokémon fits well with the carefully constructed image of Nice while being acceptable for battling. Nice never got especially close with it and Miss J eventually had him publicly gift it to Moon. With Moon, it quickly evolved into a Mienshao and became the backbone of her battling team.

I like the idea that Nice's team is actually quite balanced with image and power instead of soley for his image due to Shang De's intentions for him being completely different from Miss J's. I tried to represent that with Gallade, which I feel is very fitting aesthetically, a strong fighting-type, and evolves from Kirlia, which is a cute ballerina pokémon.

Silvally is his assigned legendary kind of that I gave him. Wreck traded it to him after it evolved and became all white and shiny and stuff. It's way more concerned with Wreck than it is with anyone else.

Nice treats his pokemon decently and they have a high quality of life in terms of upkeep and food quality, but he doesn't have a very deep connection with all of them. His closest two are probably Gallade and Swanna, although Silvally keeps a watchful eye on him for Wreck's sake.

Nice went off the roof without any mons on him.

When Lin Ling replaces Nice, all of his pokémon can tell that the Vibes Are Off pretty immediately and tolerate him to widely varying degrees.
