Team Showtime

Team Showtime is a criminal organization located in the Phorte Region that steals Pokemon, primarily psychic Pokemon, to host Showtime Circus. The leader is Celix Malumen, who doubles as the Stargazer Valley Gym Leader.

Team Showtime's main objective is to "spread happiness", with the circus containing psychic Pokemon's fumes in order to force the audience to become obsessed with the show. The circus frequently moves around Phorte and appears at different locations. They obtain Pokemon by regular capture and often times, theft. In addition, they also perform inhumane experiments on Pokemon to expand their power.
