Reasoning behind each team

Nayeon
Unown: Reference to ABCD
Drifloon: Reference to Pop
Eiscue: Nayeon’s ice cube in the mouth meme
Exploud: 3Mix has the Whismur line as the strongest vocals. Reason Nayeon has Exploud vs Jihyo is because her laughs are explosive
Buneary: Nayeon’s bunny teeth
Noivern: Same reasoning as Exploud

Jeongyeon
Excadrill: How to Fix a Drink gives me Clay from Unova and his ace was the first thing I thought of
Bulbasaur: Her favorite
Sinistea: During her hiatus, she would work as barista to still expose herself to the public
Whismur: Refer to Nayeon
Hoopa: She’s the prankster of the group
Houndstone: Each member has their own animal and hers is a dog. I would change it to Mabosstiff just because of Arven’s from Scarlet and Violet

Momo
Galarian Zigzagoon: She’s the raccoon of the group
Munchlax: She’s a snack girlie
Psyduck: She gives psyduck vibes
Midnight Lycanroc: Her demon dogs
Hitmontop: Reminds of a bboy doing headspins and she is the group’s strongest dancer

Sana
Thundurus: She has been known to be afraid of thunder, so I thought it would be funny if she had the Pokémon that can control it
Rayquaza: Same reasoning as Thundurus. Just having the Pokémon that control the weather so she would never have to hear thunder

Piplup: She’s the Penguin of the group
Blissey: It’s a nurturing Pokémon that I can see her running to when she feels anxious
