The Electabuzz team is a baseball team based in Johto that was frequently mentioned during the original series. It's the team that Casey and his family are passionate fans of.

History

Pre-series

In Those Darn Electabuzz!, It is hinted that the Electabuzz team has a long history in the Johto region, going back to Shigeo mentioning seeing the team play at the age of ten. The team has built up a long rivalry with the likes of Magikarps and the Starmies, with whom it has had numerous matches over the years.

Years later, Shigeo's son Corey Demario joined the team, his history with the team saw Electabuzz win the championship five years in a row. At some point in his career, Corey suffered an injury, which ended up forcing him out of the team and in turn hurt his confidence and the performance of Electabuzz.
