Team Yell (Japanese: エール団 Yell-dan, literally Yell Gang) is the villainous team living in the Galar region. They are fans of Marnie who want her to become Champion. However, despite the good intentions of their leader, Piers, to form a fan club of sorts to cheer on his younger sister, the grunts begin to take things too far by rudely obstructing her rivals in their Gym Challenges and doing anything to prevent them from becoming Champion instead of Marnie.
In the games
In Pokémon Sword and Shield
Team Yell obstructs Marnie's rivals by taking over hotel lobbies, preventing challengers from accessing transportation, and even shouting and distracting opponents during battle.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Team Yell debuted in the Sword & Shield arc. Two Grunts attacked Sōdo and Shirudomiria in an attempt to destroy their Gym Challenge uniforms. Their plot was foiled when Sōdo and Shirudomiria dragged the Grunts into a nearby Pokémon Den, forcing the four to team up in a Max Raid Battle against a Dynamax Gurdurr.
Trivia
- Team Yell is the first villainous team with no specific evil intentions or goals. Instead, their only desire is for Marnie to become Champion.
- Team Yell's methods may be based on football hooliganism, a real-life phenomenon in England.
