About Haxsis: Spenstar caught Haxsis in a muddy pond, while searching for a decent Pokemon to round out his tourney team. Haxsis is the team's oddball, in that she's often in her own head and is random in her mannerisms, and barely says anything. Even though Spenstar speaks the language of the Pokemon, he cannot understand what little Haxsis says simply because she babbles about who-knows-what most of the time. She is also unique in that she has a unique indifference to battling among the members of the team. Lately Spenstar has questioned whether he and Haxsis even belong together, on the same team, or if she'll be better off with somebody else.

Bolderdash [Rabbi]

Rock: Rock STAB; Take 2 less damage from all special attacks during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.
About Rabbi: When Spenstar met Rabbi, it was among a group of Rebble, Bolderdash, and Stratagem in a mysterious cave. Rabbi was adventerous and wanted to see the world, so the group's leader Stratagem allowed a battle between Spenstar and Rabbi that would decide the latter's fate. Spenstar won, and Rabbi joined his team. On their last stop before returning home, Rabbi evolved into a Bolderdash. Since then, it has been much more ambitious and eager to battle due to its new strength.
Spenstar is proficient at speaking and understanding the language of Pokemon just as well as his own, as a result of spending years with Pokemon as his only family. He nicknamed this Pokemon "Rabbi" because he noticed (and appreciated) a distinct Jewish accent in the way it speaks. For reasons unknown, this accent was not present in any other members of Rabbi's original group, with the exception of the lead Stratagem.

Abilities:
Levitate: (Innate) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading Ground moves like Earthquake, Bulldoze, and Magnitude. Other Ground moves can still hit.
Technician: (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally deal 6 or below base damage to have their base damage multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) damage, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2).
Mold Breaker (DW): (locked) (Innate) Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Bug: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves.
About Ant Artica: While looking for an ice-type Pokemon in the depths of Snowpoint Temple, Spenstar found a young Syclar stumbling weakly, badly injured from a previous battle. He nursed the Syclar back to health, and in return, the Syclar accepted his offer to join his team. He named her Ant Arctica (usually addressed as simply "Arctica" though) and a partnership was formed. Ant Artica was often bullied by the stronger members of her swarm, and as a result, she is very mild-mannered and shy around trainers and Pokemon besides Spenstar. This somewhat changed when the rest of Spenstar's team warmed up to Ant Artica and made her feel at home; now she opens up to them but is still shy around other Pokemon. She feels blessed to finally have a loving family. Ant Artica is commonly seen outside her Pokeball, on Spenstar's shoulder or head.
