[Themed Teams] Alice in Wonderland - Chansey - Nov 17, 2017
I love the cute animals in Alice in Wonderland, and when I found out that you can replicate her outfit in Sun/Moon, I got the idea of doing a theme team based around the book's characters. I'm not done breeding/raising these guys yet, but this is what I've thought of so far:
The White Rabbit
Ermm, well, the PINK rabbit. But it's light-colored! Close enough. Wigglytuff is the lead Pokemon because it's the first to appear in the book, and it's got a very versatile moveset (especially with tms.)
The Cheshire Cat
Considering its looks, abilities, personality,and the perennial popularity of the book in Japan, I'm 99% sure that Gengar is actually an intentional Cheshire Cat reference. It's also a great Pokemon,and has been since Gen 1.

The Caterpillar
As well as being a great bug-type, this is another one whose design may be an intentional Alice reference. I like to think so!

The Mushroom
Well... Self-explanatory. It looks kind of magical, doesn't it?

The Mock-Turtle
I thought about using Torkoal, but I really needed something to balance out my team's grass weakness (at the time, Roserade and Whimsicott were both under consideration!) plus the Mock-turtle has a saltwater association in the book. Ergo, a sea turtle!
The Red Queen
She does look kind of regal, doesn't she? She's even wearing red!
Thoughts?

Why don't you use a shiny Mr. Mime as the mad hatter? The green somewhat resembles his outfit, and he's better known than the magic mushroom...

I thought about using him... Probably a good idea, but I have this weird phobia of Mr. Mime. ;u; I think it's the hair. I may use one anyway though, especially since I'm breeding most of them first in X.

Why don't you just use Mime Jr. then? Or, perhaps a Lopunny for the March Hare? Or a Dedenne as the Dormouse?

All solid ideas! I'll think of Dedenne especially.
I want the team to be at least sooooort of viable, so I'm trying to avoid unevolved forms (unless they're eviolite-good, like Porygon2.)

Would Sigilyph be a good Jubjub bird..? It's pretty frightening but also cool. Maybe Gallade for the White Knight..?
RE: [Themed Teams] Alice in Wonderland - Mr. Ultracool - Nov 17, 2017
Then how about Dragalge as the Jabberwock? It's got the tassels/horns common to depictions of it.
Maybe Aegislash as the Vorpal blade then?

Roserade

It's been a while since I read AiW, but wasn't there a dodo bird?
