So, I was talking to Pine (Patrick) on Monday, at the last meetup, and I decided I wanted to go for being a gym leader, possibly league champion, at PAX West next year. I did it all a couple years ago, and I challenged the league this year and remembered how much fun it was. Anyway, I'm thinking of letting my Ground types have a rest next year and build a new team around a new theme. The theme is an Imperial Commissar from Warhammer 40k. For those who are unfamiliar, the Commissars are political officers who's duty is to encourage the troops and provide summary execution when an officer shows cowardice and take command of the unit. I was thinking a good military themed team, but so far only a few come to mind:
Mega Blastoise
This one had to be in there. He's got a goddamned artillery piece sticking out of his shell.
Skarmory
He's got the look of a fighter jet, and he's a good opener
Bisharp
I like him. He's tough and kinda man shaped.
Sharpedo
It's a missile!
Chansey
Every unit needs a medic
I'm not quite sure what else to include, but I'd like to emphasize the necessity for synergy. The whole shtick with the Imperial Guard is working together to overcome greater foes.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
