Hey, everybody! It's 0kamii, and I haven't made a [BATTLE REQUEST] thread in quite some time!
Since I had a ton of fun using my 1st place Emolga team in a battle request thread last year, I thought it'd be more fun to do a theme build and put it to the public to see if any of y'alls wanted to throw down against a very non-standard composition. Now as the title suggests, this team is comprised entirely of mons that are based (or loosely based) on creatures and gods from Aztec mythology. I adopted Nahuatl anthropology in college as an independent study, and rarely does a culture enamor me the way these warriors have. Below is a list of all the deities and icons I've incorporated into my team, and yes, before you ask, there is ONE legendary on my team. So feel free to bring one of your own should you want to battle.
1) Quetzalcoatl - The Feathered-serpent

So feel free to bring one of your own should you want to battle.
1) Quetzalcoatl - The Feathered-serpent
God of Wind, Snakes, the West, and the Morning Star
2) The ahuizotl - the fifth-handed monkey
Creature known for its savage ways and trickery
3) Xolotl - the dog of the underworld
God of dogs, lightning, and the sunset
4) Cuauhtli - the Eagle warrior
High caliber warriors of the king venerated more than the Ocelotl (Jaguar warriors)
5) Mexica - Empire of the Sun
A classic name for the once Aztec Empire, known today as the descendants of the Toltecs
6) Tlaloc - god of Rain
Sometimes depicted as an amphibian in mortal form, associated with rain, crops, and fertility
These are the six icons that will be your opponents. I've laced clues as to who their in-game counterparts are in their descriptions, and I hope that you all feel a like challenging my pantheon. Mainly because there are prizes available! The first person to successfully topple my Aztec team will receive a Mega stone of their choice, and the second will have their choice of a BP item from the Battle Tree. Third will receive either a Flame Orb or Toxic Orb.
Happy battling, everyone! I look forward to all the shenanigans that we'll have with our Mesoamerican friends!
Thanks so much for reading, everyone! Battle onwards, friends!

P.S. My timezone is EST, and the battle style in 4 v 4 Doubles. Engage at your own peril...
