Rainbow Dash's Pokemon Team

Tied in to this concept: selenaede.deviantart.com/art/P…

I decided to base the Mane 6's Pokemon Team around stats. Rainbow Dash's team is based around the Speed stat. Her Pokemon have a high Speed base stat (besides Shuckle, which is Tank).

The decision to have Rainbow Dash's stat be Speed was also obvious. She is the fastest of the main characters in the show.

Shuckle was chosen as Tank because he is very slow (base speed of 5) and easily the least cool looking of the turtle inspired Pokemon. Dashie never wanted Tank to be her pet when she saw him. He was no where near "cool" enough for her standards and he had to prove his worth to her. Thus Tank became a Shuckle, a Pokemon many people don't see as much value in having on their team.
