Batman is someone that usually acts alone. Save for sidekicks like Robin and the occasional team-up, you don't often see this DC hero going out and patrolling Gotham with other people. However, what if he had a team of creatures at his disposal to help save Gotham from the likes of Bane and The Joker? What if he had a team of Pokémon at his side?
If Batman had a team of Pokémon, which ones would he use to help him keep his city safe? Today, we're going to be breaking down Batman's full Pokémon team. Let's get into it.
6 Crobat
Come on, this one is kind of a given. Batman's team is going to consist of Dark Pokémon, in terms of both typing and color. They need to match Batman's forever brooding personality while at the same time being able to move in the shadows just like their leader. And, well, Crobat is a bat, of course he was going to be part of this team from the beginning. Crobat has tons of tools at his disposal to take down enemies, including being able to attack from a distance without getting in close enough to get hit.
5 Umbreon
While Umbreon might not perfectly match the bat description like Crobat, it still fits all of the rest of the criteria that is needed in order to join Team Batman.
First of all, dark color scheme that will keep Umbreon hidden in the shadows of Gotham? Check. But, more important than that, Umbreon is fast, can hit hard, and can take a couple of hits itself if it absolutely needs to. Umbreon can either aid Batman in his hand-t0-hand fights, power him up, or take down other enemies that are closing in on him. However Batman needs to use it, Umbreon is going to be ready to take on that task. Umbreon is going to be a huge part of the team that will more than carry its weight.
4 Mightyena
Mightyena is going to be a Pokémon that just fits in with Batman, and the whole Bat-Family in general. The wolf-like Pokémon will be a natural fit when it comes to keeping Gotham safe.
For one, as we've mentioned already, Mightyena fits the dark color scheme. Beyond that though, Mightyena can slot into a few different positions of the newly created Team Bat. For one, Mightyena can travel with Batman, using its heightened sense to identify villains before Batman has any idea that they've arrived. It won't be a slouch when it comes to the battle itself either, using its sharp teeth and claws to incapacitate whoever it is they're fighting. Mightyena can also be a guard dog for any area that Batman needs protected. Besides, who doesn't want to have an awesome dog by their side at all times?
3 Zoroark
Zoroark is a powerful Pokémon in general, but one of its most notable abilities is being able to disguise itself as any other creature that it sees fit. This is going to be beneficial when it comes to literally every mission that Batman is on.
Do you need Zoroark to disguise itself as the enemy? A normal citizen? Maybe a different villain? What about disgusting itself as Superman to distract or intimidate the target? Whatever is needed, Zoroark has Batman covered. Even once it's back in its original form, Zoroark knows a thing or two about battling, mean its usefulness doesn't end once the disguise is gone. Zoroark is going to easily be one of the most important members of Team Batman. Oh, and of course, color scheme? On point.
2 Salazzle
Any foe who is foolish enough to go up against Salazzle will surely meet their doom, and Batman knows this. With that in mind, this Poison- and Fire-type (who 100% matches the color scheme) will join Team Batman. Salazzle can use her poisonous abilities to sneak up behind her opponents and attack before they had any idea what hit them. As Batman operates in the dark, this totally matches up with his fighting style. If another tactic is needed, however, Salazzle can use her fire powers to either attack or cause a scene. Whether Salazzle's powers are being used on defense or on offense, they're going to be quite useful to the team.
1 Corviknight
The final Pokémon that will be joining Team Batman is Corviknight, who checks literally every single box when it comes to aesthetics.
Besides the fact it literally just kind of looks like Batman, Corviknight's abilities will be very useful for the team. Batman can use Corviknight's skillset for fighting, dealing damage by getting in close and retreating before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. However, Batman can also use Corviknight for scouting purposes, transporting cargo, or any other missions that could be completed a bit easier with a set of wings at one's disposal. Corviknight finishes off Batman's perfectly balanced Pokémon team perfectly.
