Theme Team

Theme Teams are optional battle teams from various characters that can be selected as both partners and opponents from the Theme Team and Mix 'n Match stations in the Nightclub. The player may also encounter one of these teams randomly as a part of the Champion Defense. 
Boss Rush teams also appear as Theme Teams after they are unlocked. Teams from Normal Mode will appear as Boss Rush, while teams from Hard Mode will appear as Boss Rush 2.
==General Information==
A character is only available for selection if they are physically present in the nightclub. Characters might not appear in the club because not all of them are in the club at the beginning of Postgame, or the Postgame quests involving them are being active. 
By the end of Postgame, most characters in the list below will be in the club. The only exceptions are Taka and Lin, who can be permanently unavailable depending on the player's previous in-game choices.
* Taka is only in the club if the player is on Zekrom Route, or on Reshiram Route and defeats Solaris on Pyrous Mountain.
* Lin is only in the club if the player is on Lin Route for postgame, saves her before catching Arceus, and takes her out of the Asylum after catching Arceus.
The field and battle type of each theme team are predetermined. All of the player's Pokemon will be set to level 100.

==Trivia==
* None of the Pokemon the characters use will have a set gender, with them being randomly generated at the start of battle. This is even with the same Pokemon that otherwise had their gender determined before in the main story.
** This is most likely to match with the battle pavilion and postgame battles as almost all teams have Pokemon with no set gender either.
* Amaria, Titania, and Taka will have different defeat quotes depending if you are on either Reshiram, Zekrom, and Zero Route.
** Taka will also have different starting quotes as well between the Reshiram and Zekrom Route.
** Amaria will also have different starting quotes as well on the Reshiram Route, and her quotes will revert back to her Zekrom and Zero Route version after talking to her in the nightclub when you completed the Groudon & Kyogre Quest. This isn’t the case for her Boss Rush Quotes.
* When picking an opponent or Mix 'n Match partner, Radomus will randomly appear in one of his 18 overworld sprites (he will not use his last three sprite variations). However, he still uses his Mad Hatter outfit when battling.
* Some trainers have different battle sprites from the maingame story when battled in the nightclub.
** Anna’s and Noel’s trainer and overworld sprite do not have their dolls with them, although Anna’s overworld sprite still has her doll when talked to in the nightclub.
** Ace has once again changed their suit colors in their battle and overworld sprite, this time to a mix of blue, pink, and green colors. They also have the trainer name “Ace of All Suits” in battle.
** Taka will have his VS and battle sprite with an eyepatch in Zekrom Route
** Arclight will have his VS and battle sprite with an eyepatch as well.
** Titania will have her Reshiram Route VS and battle sprite regardless of what route you are in.
** Amaria will have her Zekrom Route VS and battle sprite regardless of what route you are in.
* Julia, Serra, Luna, Samson, Ciel, Adrienn, and Amaria do not have their signature Pokemon (, , , , , , and respectively) in any of their theme teams. Ironically other trainers do have some of those pokemon in their own theme teams.
** Fern also does not have or in any of his theme team. He doesn’t use any Pokemon from his maingame or postgame story team either with the exception of .
** Shelly also does not have or in any of her themes teams, but she uses a Yanmega for one team
** Lin does not have in any of her theme teams, though it can be assumed Hydreigon belongs to the puppet instead of her. however is on all of her theme teams.
* Titania, Taka, and Julia have a theme team with all their Pokemon being one specific species (, , and the many forms of s respectively).
** Elias also has a theme team with 5 , and Blake has a theme team with 4 Rotoms of different forms as well. Ace also has a theme team with 3 s and 3 s.
* Ace has the most shiny Pokemon out of all the characters, with 9 different shinies on their theme teams.
* Julia’s “Kaboom!” theme team is the only theme team that does not reward BP, due to her simply using the move , hence giving the player an easy win.
