What's the story behind your team?

I hack a lot, but recently I decided to design a completely legit team, with me being the OT and the team having a strategy. I basically selected random Pokemon, other than the first Pokemon on the team which is one of my favorites.

Beheeyem - Ever since I saw Elgyem for the first time in Whatsitcalled Tower in B2W2, I knew he was one of my favorites. My Beheeyem was specially bred, his mama was a Beheeyem herself with Analytic, and his papa was a Hypno with Nasty Plot, which I needed to breed onto Beheeyem. My entire team is nicknamed after colors, Beheeyem is "Grey" because of what he's based off of.

Mandibuzz - I realized that I needed to have a tanky Pokemon on my team. I was trying to decide between Umbreon and Mandibuzz, and I finally chose the bird. It was mostly because I have never used Mandibuzz before, but Umbreon is a common choice for me. Her nickname is "Violet."

Drifblim - It may seem like a strange choice. I don't particularly like Drifblim, but I randomly chose it. I use Flare Boost + Flame Orb and an all-out special set on her. Her nickname is "Indigo."

Mega Lucario - Lucario is actually the main reason I got into the Pokemon series. I bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl and found out that I play amazingly with Lucario. I noticed that he was a Pokemon, and I thought, "If Pokemon look this cool, I should really play it." I use him as a special attacker along with Drifblim and Beheeyem. His nickname is Cobalt.

Kabutops - Honestly, he's my second favorite Gen 1 Pokemon. He looks like some kind of prehistoric dino-demon, and Weakness Policy is overpowered as fuck on him. Thus, I chose him to be on my team. His nickname is Brown, obviously.

Scolipede - This one was the most random of my choices. Her stats and movepool are great, so I decided to add her. I like to use Swords Dance + Baton Pass to have Brown and Scolipede work together. Her name is Scarlet.
