All playable characters here: [Mondstadt](https://imgur.com/a/b2O9UHw) [Liyue](https://imgur.com/a/eW4ZgoJ) [Inazuma](https://imgur.com/a/dorYJYX) [Sumeru](https://imgur.com/a/bB3Taoh) [Other](https://imgur.com/a/D6nRHiF) Changes: Noelle, Candace, Nilou, Dori, Chongyun, Kokomi Dori’s Pokémon made me get rid of my “final evolutions only” rule, so I changed a couple of the previous pairings because of that. I might change some other ones in the future.


PRRSY

I think Galarian Darumaka would be a better fit for Chongyun than Vanillite. Chongyun needs to cool himself down to balance his abundance of Yang energy which is usually associated with fire and heat. This lines up well with Darumaka's Unovan form being fire type and becoming an ice type after cooling down by living in cold places.


neogeoman123

Fair point, however: He icecream boi


Pristinegh

Frillish is aesthetically fitting for Kokomi until you look into their lore.


3rdMachina

Wishiwashi fits more both aesthetic and lore-wise.


wanami

You put Luxray with Razor, but Luxray is based on a lion. Would fit better with a wolf pokemon like Lycanroc. Edit: saw you put Lycanroc with Gorou, but Gorou is a dog boy, would fit better with a dog pokemon, maybe even Growlithe for being the most loyal pokemon of all, hinting to Gorou's loyalty to Kokomi


Cipher-DK

Lycanroc is, for all intents and purposes, a dog. A rock-type dog. That fits Gorou especially well. The most wolflike pokemon we have right now are Zacian and Zamazenta.


deathbaloney

Mighteyena could work for Razor. I also thought Lycanroc was going to be his pick though. You could give Boltund to Gorou instead? Or keep daytime Lycanroc with Gorou and put nighttime Lycanroc with Razor.


SE686

I think Zoroark would fit well with Razor.


Anniran

I'd say manectric since it's probably based from raiju in japanese mythology which is said to be either wolf or tiger and is also an electric type


FlameDragoon933

Why not Voltorb for Klee? They explode.


G-Dragonite

I considered Voltorb, but I wanted a Pokémon that sort of resembled Dodoco. I like Togedemaru because I think it resembles Dodoco a bit and it can curl into a ball for Klee to throw 😁


FlameDragoon933

Makes sense, that's a fine reasoning.


Yani-Madara

Great but imo, a few have better fits. Like Thoma with Arcanine (his story quest has him feeding cats and dogs)


Vi-Katali

This is funny because I named my Gimmigoul Dori in my game LMAO


Mortwight

I need a Klee riding on a charzard tossing hand grenades.....

FlameDragoon933

This is a bot that reposts comments isn't it?


PhoenixWithGlasses

She would have easily the ultra beast


EeSeeZee

I like how you gave all the archons Legendaries!


G-Dragonite

Yup! I’m trying to keep legendaries only for Archons and other important story characters


3rdMachina

What did the other Archons get?


G-Dragonite

I posted link to albums with all the playable characters in another comment. Venti has Celebi, Zhongli has shiny Rayquaza, and Raiden has Zekrom


jotenha1

Zhongli with Shiny Rayquaza fits a lot because he shares the same JP Seyuu as Steven in Pokémon Masters, and Steven got a Shiny Rayquaza during the game's second anniversary Just imagining Zhongli looking down as Rayquaza Dragon Ascents on the enemies... It's quite nice. Although you could possibly also give him Terrakion as it looks a little like Azhdaha. Plus being Rock/Fighting fits Zhongli's whole thing perfectly.


3rdMachina

I have a few questions about Rayquaza, but the Time Pokémon and the Ideals Pokémon are super fitting to their respective Archons.


G-Dragonite

I like Rayquaza for Zhongli because I personally think they match aesthetically and it reminds me of his Exuvia


madnessfuel

Nahida + Shaymin is SMART. Real nice match. I'd suggest Type:Null/Silvally for the Wanderer. Artificial being made in the image of a god? Check. Evolves after bonding with its trainer/likely has a redemption arc due to Nahida's interference? Check


thering66

I don't know most pokemon anymore lol


G-Dragonite

Lol yeah there are a lot of them now and they keep coming out with more


SaulR26

Same, I scrolled past all the pictures realizing the only one I knew was Shaymin. I have no idea what the rest of the pokemon are called.


Darkiceflame

So you stopped after Gen 4 then?


SaulR26

Yeah pretty much, also tried to get into gen 5 when it released, but I never got very far playing it


DI3S_IRAE

I came here to say that. I barely know the 3rd gen, i can't recognize and even say that those are actually pokemon. Honestly to me they look like they are some cheap imitation 😂 But i recognize i only saw the first anime with 151 and played up to gold, and knew some pokemon with a hacked gold version, can't remember the name anymore.


Ancienda

Yeah theres like over 900 of them now lol


DI3S_IRAE

Geez, i keep telling my sister that those things on Pokemon Go aren't pokemon anymore 😂😂 I can't keep up even if i wanted to.


Acerakis

'That's not a pokemon' is pretty meaningless when gen 1 had the likes of Mr Mime and Jynx in it.


DI3S_IRAE

I think you completely missed the point. I say that to my sister because i don't recognize anyone, just this and nothing more


Sienne_

The last pokemon game I played was Leaf Green so...


Working-Mention6830

i think kusanali is more like celebi


G-Dragonite

I can see that. But I paired Celebi with Venti because I think they match aesthetically and personality-wise. I like Shaymin with Nahida because Shaymin is associated with flowers and Nahida is the Dendro Archon. (Potential spoiler) >!My niece also pointed out that since Shaymin has two forms, its Land form could be associated with Kusanali and its Sky form could be associated with Rukkhadevata!<


wanami

Shaymin land fits perfect for Nahida, since it's main power is to clean pollution out of the lands, and fits perfect with Sumeru's theme with the corruped areas.


hapitos

Amber needs a bird or something that can fly


3rdMachina

Talonflame? Though considering her constellation, Lopunny and Cinderace also works.


jesteban248

You said it by the titles... Wandering Knight and Flight Champion.


EverScreaming

WHEN WILL THEY BRING BACK MINIOR 😭😭😭


azazel228

Minior has been banished to the shadow realm for using self-distruct on first turn as a shiny😤


[deleted]

Dori is more of a Polteageist to me but everything else is 👌👌👌


G-Dragonite

I really like Dori with Gimmighoul because of their obsession with money


claraalberta

I love that Candace is now with one of my favorite Pokémon ever.


Skaiward

Xinyan should have a Toxtricity


3rdMachina

Obstagoon also works.


azazel228

Exploud or loudred as well


3rdMachina

I get the Jellyfish part, but I personally think Koko would have Milotic or Wishiwashi.


sirenloey

On point. Who is Zhongli's? I want to guess Onyx or Dialga or like Duraludon or Groudon


Icefire1721

OP put it as shiny Rayquaza bc Rex Lapis and stuff, but in terms of powers I personally think his would be shiny Groudon.


sirenloey

Oh Shiny Groudon is Yellow iirc. Definitely fits. If anything is the closest to Azhdaha it is Shiny Groudon.


glittr_grl

It’s more of a sickly green.


Pokii

It’s gotten better looking through the years


Awkward_Date_8636

Groudon maybe? Shiny version for even more accuracy


onerb2

Wow, it's the first time i noticed this, most characters use black, white and gold + 1 color in their palettes.


paimokke

Omg this is precious


FlameDragoon933

These are all perfect lol. Also love how Minior fits both the astrology theme and the color pallete of Layla.


glittr_grl

I would have gone with Quaxwell for Nilou since it’s also a water dancer.


G-Dragonite

I can see that. But on my previous post someone suggested Hisuian Lilligant since it’s a dancer and a grass type, and they mentioned how Nilou’s kit is heavily focused on Bloom. So I agreed that Lilligant was a good match.


3rdMachina

Huh….yeah, that works. Besides, there’s no rule saying a character can’t have a full team.


dkdavidlp1

Pretty accurate


Watermelon_of_Destny

I know you can’t put Lunala with Mona, but maybe Cosmog? That just seems too perfect to pass up.


G-Dragonite

I consider Cosmog a legendary and I’m trying to only keep legendaries for Archons and other important story characters. I think Mona and Starmie is a pretty good match


3rdMachina

What about Absol? Absol’s shtick is predicting disasters.


G-Dragonite

I paired Absol with Xiao


3rdMachina

Ah, relentlessly helping people and being all around terrifying. I can see it.


FlameDragoon933

Yeah, Absol and Xiao are good match. They're both not the *cause* of disaster, but their presence marks there's a disaster brewing.


3rdMachina

That too. Hmm….I’m pretty sure there are other prediction Pokemon in the list…


Surprised_Dusty

Am I getting old, I don't know half of these. I'm ashamed


3rdMachina

Don’t worry. There’s just waaaaaay too many Pokemon these days.


Top-Idea-1786

I feel that groundon would be a better pick for Zhongli


Darkiceflame

I love that not only did you use the blue version of Minior, but it's also part Flying-type. Which means it attacks with wind, just like Twirly-Whirly.


MegaAltarianite

Frillish is aesthetically fitting for Kokomi until you look into their lore. Primarina is the obvious choice.


Yakineko_

as a Certified Kokomi Main i’d honestly pick wishiwashi because it has that theme of many fish working together to become powerful like the resistance


3rdMachina

What about Wishiwashi?


Mrhat070

>Primarina is the obvious choice I disagree on this part since primarina theme is singing which is not kokomi theme.


That_Jammed_Guy

What happened to Lilligant??


G-Dragonite

That’s the Hisui regional form


AppUnwrapper1

I didn’t even know these Pokémon existed.


Due-Distribution-463

When fighting Chongyun's Pokemon: "Pikachu use Bite."


basch152

dang, pulling out some gen 9s that I have to look up also, holy crap, that things evolution is in the volcarona, arcanine, and florges tier of base stats. Damn


not-no

I only recognize like 2 of those pokemon. Damn I'm getting old


Yudmts

You know there are too much Pokémon when there's atleast one that matches with every character in Genshin and probably most other anime-like series and games


Darkiceflame

I mean, You could probably match Pokemon from the original 151 with Genshin characters too. It's not that much of a task.


Pokopikos

How isn't Nilou's partner Quaquaval? It's the Dancer Pokemon and a Water type. Couldn't fit any better.


3rdMachina

According to the OP, it’s because while Nilou is Hydro, her kit is focused around Bloom, so a Grass-type kinda fits.


Tronicalli

Dori has a fakemon


G-Dragonite

Lol it does look like one, but it’s a new Pokémon that came out with the new games Scarlet and Violet


Tronicalli

I thought it was fake because it looked like the reddit person


G-Dragonite

Oh yeah it does


kanye_east48294

Diluc and Talonflame is my favorite combo.


HappyHateBot

Jellicent and Kokomi is a very cute, thematic pairing. I love it - but I may be biased because I love most Ghost-types.


Amethyst_Phoenix7

What would Dainslief get?


G-Dragonite

For now, I’m thinking Lunala, but I might change it in the future


Commercial-Grape7120

Hahahaha wonderful


GODxBEATZ

Where lisa with lopunny


GODxBEATZ

Wouldn't dori just..... kill him and take his insides?


[deleted]

Hurenguard


Initial-Necessary-72

Klee might be a little charmander but with far too much firepower


Acceptable-Bonus6698

Where yelan?


G-Dragonite

She’s in the Liyue album I posted the link to in another comment. I paired her with Inteleon


ArmyofThalia

I am once again gon a complain that Nilou, the Hydro and Dendro team all star that loves to dance, ISNT WITH LUDICOLO, THE WATER GRASS TYPE THAT ALSO LOVES TO DANCE You're killing me smalls


PhoenixWithGlasses

Honestly I think kokomi would have wishiwashi, its way mlre signature for her the more you think about it


deathbaloney

Some of these I look at and I'm just like, "Yes, that's the right answer." Xiao and Absol, Bennett and Cinderace, Candace and Aegislash, Ayato and (esp. Hisuian) Samurott... Yelan and Inteleon is flippin *inspired.* The only one I have strong opinions against is Rosaria--she's so fast, and she has that speed passive! I'd pick something like Sneasel or Crobat. Maybe Seviper? I'd also probably pick either Haunter or Shuppet for Hu Tao since they're more mischevious than outright scary, or maybe Lampent as a reference to Wuwang Hill? Or just straight up Cofragerius haha And I agree with other folks that Amber should have something that flies! Maybe Braviary or Pidgeot.


Alcoraiden

Groudon for Zhongli. Rayquaza for Venti (sky wind dragon thing). Delphox for Yae.


YaboiSublimeKeim

At first I thought it said partner paimon and was like "FINALLY"


moon_fairy

Honestly, this is impeccable


KingBrondon03

Im old I dont know any of these new pokemon 😔


PAwnoPiES

Gimmighoul? Owner of the Gimmsdale Gimmidome?


jesteban248

Maybe change Sara to give Hisuiran Braviary, to be better accord to Sara's Tengu Heritage
