⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Malware’s signature move is Charge Beam. Every time he uses the move his special attack stat increases, making all of his attacks more powerful. Not only that, but Malware is also holding wise glasses, increasing his special attacks ever so slightly. Since Dusknoir naturally has good defenses, he is also used to defend against most types of attacks, in case Hacker needs a turn to heal her other Pokémon. ⌋
⠀
Additional Information
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Malware is Hacker’s main Pokémon and is always outside his Pokéball. He has the rare ability to speak and uses it to communicate with both his trainer and speak for his trainer. His voice sounds quite distorted. There is a dominant voice and multiple other voices that sound like they’re coming from other people. Some voices speak at the same time as the dominant voice and some voices have a delay. If listened to closely, there’s some voices speaking in a slowed down and reverted version of whatever he’s saying.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He usually uses a respectful and proper tone. He calls his trainer, “master” and even acts like a servant towards her. If Hacker is being ‘too weird’, he would either clarify or justify her actions. Malware was the Pokémon that spent the most time with his trainer, so he understands her very well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In addition to being with his trainer the longest, he’s also trained the hardest compared to his teammates. He’s been through intense special attacking EV training, and by intense, this meant defeating a bunch of Oricorios in Melemele Meadows for 3 hours daily, and 2 years straight. This training made him proficient in special attacking. This gives Malware a bit of an element of surprise, since Dusknoirs are not known for their special attacking. ⌋

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Acunetix is mainly used to take down dragon and ground types. His move set gives him an advantage against the two types and he’s even immune to dragon type attacks, so it makes him deadly around them ⌋
⠀
Additional Information
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Hacker didn’t obtain Acunetix in a traditional way. While most people would get Popplios through Hala in Iki Town, Hacker got her Popplio way before it even made it to Hala. In a bay that was highly populated of this water type Pokémon, fishermen were gathering hordes of them in order to meet the demand of starter Pokémon for beginning trainers. Hacker stumbled upon this area and took it upon herself to capture one, since she needed one anyway.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The Poppilio didn’t seem to mind, as he always had a severe case of wanderlust and having a trainer seemed to be a cure for that. When Acunetix was a Poppilio, he acted reserved and wasn’t as playful compared to his other teammates. But as he evolved into a Brionne, there was a clear increase of confidence within him. He seemed a lot happier and tried to be more social with his trainer. This behavior was even more promoted when he evolved into a Primarina. Despite how feminine he acts; Hacker still manages to recognize him as male. ⌋

⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Since Terabyte is kind of OP, Hacker uses him sparingly. He is holding safety goggles, which prevents damage from sandstorms, something that happens often, thanks to his teammate, Comodo. In double battles, he’s often paired with Comodo because he’s somewhat of a foil for him. If there is a water type, Terabyte can use Bullet Seed to protect his rock type partner, in a way. Beak Blast is only used when an opponent is being too physical. While the Toucannon charges up for his Beak Blast, anything that touches him gets burned, which is the main reason Hacker would use the move. ⌋
⠀
Additional Information
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Terabyte was captured by Hacker at a rather young age. Since he’s spent most of his childhood with her, and has gotten pretty attached to her and acts like a baby duck following its mother around her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Despite Toucannons being rather famous for being pissy all the time, Terabyte breaks the cliché by actually being a rather calm Pokémon. His eyes may appear like he’s angry, but he still manages to give off chill vibes by being pretty lax almost all the time. Even in battle, he seems to be very laid back and is only very animated when his trainer commands him to do a move. ⌋

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ While holding leftovers, it enables him to last longer during sandstorms, which means he can be in a double battle with his teammate, Comodo. Nero is mainly used to be against steel type opponents, since most of his teammates lack a good offensive against the typing. He can also be used to fight against fairy Pokémon, as he resists the typing and has a steel type move to do well offensively.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nero now has a flexible move set, allowing him to do a lot better offensively. ⌋
⠀
Additional Information
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Nero was pretty much captured because Hacker really needed a fire type Pokémon, but even that blossomed into a great trainer-Pokémon relationship. He’s quite playful and really likes belly rubs. He seems to act like a puppy, despite his size. He also seems to be the most excited when he’s being used battle. He would bark a lot during a fight and it seems to anger his opponent. ⌋

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ With a lot of EV training combined with his nature, characteristic, and assault vest; Comodo has very high defenses for a Tyranitar. His high defenses made Hacker nickname him, ‘the wall’ since he’s pretty hard to take down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Since he has the ability of a typical Tyranitar, Comodo causes a sandstorm every time he is engaged in a battle. Knowing this, Hacker made sure that at least half of her team would do well in the inevitable sandstorms. She gave her Toucannon safety goggles in order to not get damage from it, her Arcanine has Leftovers in order to survive a bit better in the sandstorms, and got a Garchomp to take advantage of the recurring weather condition. Hacker mostly uses Comodo in double or triple battles, using his ability to her advantage. ⌋
⠀
Additional Information
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ One of Hacker’s neighbors was a Pokémon breeder. The breeder recognized that Hacker was going to do the Island Challenge and gave her an egg as a parting gift. Turned out that there was a Larvitar inside the egg and so was born Comodo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since he wasn’t raised in the wild, he’s very tame for a Tyranitar. Not a lot of things bother him, he’d even let a bunch of children climb on top of him and he wouldn’t mind. His trainer would climb on top of him too. He likes being pet on his head and it’s how Hacker would feed him PokéBeans. ⌋

⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ While holding his Rocky Helmet, it enables Darik to have the best of both worlds by keeping his Sand Veil ability while almost simulating Garchomp’s hidden ability; rough skin. Most of the time, Darik is paired with Comodo in double battles to activate his ability. In sandstorms, his evasiveness increases making him harder to hit during the battle. This way, even though its easier for Darik to avoid enemy attacks, when an opponent hits him, they still gain damage anyway.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Darik is a force to reckoned with. His flexible move set makes sure that his attacks are never ineffective. His naturally high attack stat makes his attacks quite deadly. He’s often used to deal with a lot of damage to any Pokémon that seems threatening to Hacker’s team. ⌋
⠀
Additional Information
⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⌈ Despite his intimidating appearance, Darik usually gives off a playful vibe. He smiles a lot and always has a lot of energy. When he’s outside of his Pokéball, he always moves around around a lot, and even looks fidgety sometimes. Even in battle, he seems like he can’t stay in one spot. The behavior is slightly annoying during a battle. Sometimes it plays into Hacker’s advantage and it sometimes plays into her disadvantage. There were some moments when he moves closer to the opponent attack, making him more vulnerable. This behavior makes Hacker wonder if he has something like ADHD. ⌋
