"COSIGN SEYMOUR THERE HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT AT THE GOMPUTERS LAB!"
Pokémon: Gerold
Origin: Sandsverse
Type: Ground
Ability: Gluttony / Sap Sipper / Thick Fat
Stats: 130/130/80/85/70/60 (555)
Notable Moves: Scorching Sands, Earthquake, Psychic Fangs, Crunch, Fire Fang, Ice Fang, Thunder Fang, Slack Off, Curse, Hex, Slash, Psycho Cut, Night Slash, Swords Dance, Close Combat, Transform
Reasoning: The most prominent of Seymour's "cosigns", as well as one of his liutenants. Gluttony is one of his most notable traits, his eating of plants (whereas other tapirs apparently eat meat) and "Fat Fuck" status have also been emphasized. Ground-type and Scorching Sands because he works with Seymour in his sand-selling business, Earthquake just for STAB (but let's not pretend he couldn't cause one). He gets a bunch of biting moves, Psychic Fangs in particular due to an offhand mention of tapirs having psychic powers. Slack Off because he's been accused of being lazy once or twice. Curse and Hex due to being able to lay curses on people with his eyes. Slashing moves because he has a chainsaw. Swords Dance because he apparently gives dancing lessons. Close Combat because he wrestles Gilgamesh for Seymour's amusement. Transform because he can change shape when hungry. (He can also erase narwhals and whales with his mind but I can't figure out what move that would be.)

And why not some resubs?
"Good grief... I can't let a kid who likes dogs get hurt!"
Pokémon: Iggy
Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
Type: Ground
Ability: Sand Force / Scrappy / Illusion
Stats: 55/120/90/90/110/90 (555)
Notable Moves: Scorching Sands, Earthquake, Earth Power, Odor Sleuth, Crunch, Rapid Spin, Gyro Ball, Slash, Aerial Ace, Dual Wingbeat, Substitute, Follow Me
Reasoning: Iggy is a dog with a Stand, who was once the king of New York's stray dogs, until he was caught by his fellow Stand user Muhammad Avdol (human), and eventually sent to join the Joestars and company to fight DIO's minions in Egypt. His Stand, 「The Fool」, can shape sand into almost anything. It grows stronger in the desert, hence Sand Force, and can even make fake copies of people, hence Illusion. In addition to Scorching Sands, he gets the Ground-type and a couple "standard" Ground moves to fit. Odor Sleuth because of his keen sense of smell. Crunch because that's how he finishes off Pet Shop. Rapid Spin and Gyro Ball reflect the wheels found on the "standard form" of The Fool (see Carkol). Slash and Aerial Ace because he slashes Pet Shop as well (while it's not with a sword, I feel the sword technique Aerial Ace is named for in Japanese still fits given that he slashes, y'know, a bird.) Dual Wingbeat because The Fool can grow wings and glide (note that while this wings don't move, neither do those of Palkia or Druddigon, who also get the move - In Japanese, "Dual Wingbeat" is just "Double Wing", and the move description doesn't mention actually flapping the wings either.) Substitute because he does that. Follow Me because he redirects an attack meant for an ally towards himself in a notable scene of his.
Like most other JoJo characters, his stats are based off of his Stand stats, and he gets Scrappy because I don't want Cookie Butter to murder me. His stats are skewed in favor of his defenses as opposed to HP because his Stand doesn't reflect its damage onto him (because its "body" is just yet another sand construct), but Iggy himself is far more frail than almost any other JoJo character and is much worse at recovering from injuries than the human characters are.

"I can't handle reality...! It's too frightening...!"
Pokémon: Strength / Yuu Koutari
Origin: Black★Rock Shooter (2012)
Type: Psychic
Ability: Anger Point / Iron Fist / Wimp Out
Stats: 100/160/90/90/25/105 (570)
Notable Moves: Ally Switch, Strength, Mega Punch, Bullet Punch, Dynamic Punch, Fire Punch, Focus Punch, Hammer Arm, Mach Punch, Shadow Punch, Thrash, Outrage, Lash Out, Court Change, Lava Plume, Eruption, Dragon Pulse, Flail, Machine Gun (see Austin in CCv2)
Reasoning: Some schoolgirl who decided it was easier to fight constantly than actually deal with her problems, and so swapped places with her alternate self from the emotional pain dimension (who had become self-aware because Yuu suffered that much) and started living on a giant Rubik's Cube. Psychic because Yuu and Strength are the characters with the best understanding of the Otherworld and Strength-as-Yuu has a bunch of weird powers and shit. Anger Point, Thrash, Outrage, and Lash Out because she's gotten pretty easy to piss off after not dealing with her feelings for a whole decade. Iron Fist and a bunch of punching moves because of her big metal gauntlets. Wimp Out because, like I mentioned, she fled to another world rather than deal with any more of her genuinely awful life. That's also why she has low Special Defense (according to Disarming Voice's description, "emotional damage" is an acceptable form of special attack). Her high Attack is because she's really fucking strong and also partially to compensate for not having STAB. Court Change because Strength-as-Yuu is a B-Ball player with mysterious powers. Fire moves and Dragon Pulse because of the weird flame dragons that burst out of the ground when she's fighting Insane Black Rock Shooter. Machine Gun because her gauntlets are also guns because why the fuck not I guess. Ally Switch because of the whole "Yuu and Strength swapping places" thing and Strength because duh.
