This is what I used for my team

Popplio - Nereid (sea nymph)
Pichu - Pele (Hawaiian goddess of thunder)
Misdreavus - Vendetta (Sounds good on mismagius, vengeful witch theme)
Salandit - Adrenaline (major chemical involved in the "dizzy" feeling you get when around someone you like)
Bounsweet - Garcinia (genus name of the purple mangosteen)

Haven't gotten to alolan nineties yet, but my waifu faggotry team is looking good. Currently filling space is a male sylveon named Kyubey and a female lycanroc named Iwanko because I didn't feel original enough.

I usually go for either stupid puns or dumb references to media.
