Whimsicottonopolis is a Pokébattling team competing in the Draft League. Their trainer is Defective Pikachu; their home stadium is The Mill and they are famously followed by the Flying Shuckles supporters ultra group.

The team are represented in junior competition by Whimsicottonopolis Academy.

The Whimsy won the first ever season of the Draft League, recording 13 straight wins to take the title in Week 7. They were to defend their title in Season 2, sealing the championship at the end of Week 6.

## Season 1

#### Draft and Preparation

The Whimsy were new to IPF competition, not having competed in the Wonder League. They had the third overall pick, and their first pick was Kong Fu.

They played a preseason friendly against the Pallet Town Punchbags and won 6-2.

#### Season 1 Results

The Whimsy made their competitive debut against Route 28 Rustbuckets in Week 1 and triumphed 6-1, with Kong Fu and Kommunist picking up two KOs apiece. They finished Week 1 top of the table after defeating the Old Leaf Pals.

In Week 7, the Whimsy defeated the Old Leaf Pals 6-0 to secure the title with seven games to go, as Spruce Wayne put in a commanding performance, taking five KOs in only his third appearance of the season.

#### Analysis

Kerry Tosis provided preseason tactical analysis of the Whimsy for The Daily Whismur.

## Season 2

#### Draft and Preparation

Whimsicottonopolis took a fairly laid back approach to preseason preparation ahead of Season 2 and with the exception of being accused of spying on a Rustbuckets / Pals combined training camp, preferred to conduct their affairs privately, only playing internal friendly matches.

### Season 2 Staff

* Trainer - Defective Pikachu
* Assistant trainer - Arsène Gengar
* Attack Coach - Jurgen Kloppip
* Defence Coach - Nereo Solrocco
* Chief Scout - Marco Bielsprout

## Season 3

Draft and Preparation

Whimsicottonopolis participated in the Toteodile Series for the first time despite the express wishes of the Flying Shuckles that the club boycott the event due to its gambling company ties. This has been seen as a move towards further commercialism, but also a fear that the other teams in the league are beginning to catch up with the Whimsy in terms of squad quality and strategy. They were to win the Series fairly comfortably, although they did lose a match to league newcomers, the Archipelago All-Stars.

Their Season 3 roster has been called their "strongest yet" by pundit Kerry Tosis. It is notable for the number of returning Draft League competitors featured, four of whom played for other clubs in the league's opening two seasons.

### Season 3 Roster

#### Season 3 Staff

* Trainer - Defective Pikachu
* Assistant trainer - Arsène Gengar
* Attack Coach - Jurgen Kloppip
