Third place on my very first attempt? Well thats rather exciting, thanks everyone! Since the round is over, here are some of the concepts I came up with.
Life and Death: Attempt to lean into the Grass type for their draining and status effects. Would lean into mons like Parasect, vileplume, and maybe Tangela. Abandoned because too many grass types were also poison, and wanted to avoid Ghosts being conflated with Poison. I mean, Agatha already does that!
Decay: Lean even further into poison, but use mons like Muk and Weezing. Abandoned for simillar reasons as above, also noticed people picking up on Weezing being a floating ball of gas.
Ghosts in the Shell: Lean into the electric type for paralysis and ghost hunting, with Magneton being one of the main stars. Abandoned adding other electric types, but ghost hunting became my focus for the prompt.
Through The Mist: Lean into Smokescreen, Mist, Haze, and other fog like moves. Abandoned for lack of compatible targets. Lapras and Jynx almost made it for team diversity, but I really wanted to keep the Primape/Annihilape gag.
Dead and Buried: Lean into Rock and Ground types, including Fossils and Marowak and possible other ground types. Felt it was way too obvious.
Hunting for Ghosts: This one I felt might have been too out there to work, but it IS funny. there were so few ghost type moves and pokemon available, I was almost convinced I could make a team with no ghost type moves or pokemon at all. We would instead use our teambuilding to demonstrate what ghost types typically do using moves and mons of other types, to mimic a ghost hunting show and lean into psuedo science to make the reaches reach further. Abandoned for being too risky for a first impression (and possibly against the rules? not sure) but its one of the funniest parts of the experience
