Song
Reason
Treecko /Grovyle /Sceptile
"Treetop Tumble" from Donkey Kong Country 3
This song seems to go great with the Hoenn Grass starter family's arboreal-acrobatic talents.
Torchic /Combusken
"Route 101" from Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire
I have no idea. Plus the song I have in mind in Blaziken doesn't really fit with these two.
Blaziken
"Rawk Hawk" from Paper Mario and the Thousand-Year Door
See what I mean? This song is fit for nothing less than an awesome fiery rooster that knows how to pack a wallop.

"Bayou Boogie" from Donkey Kong Country 2
Mudkipz liek to be in swampz.
Poochyena /Mightyena
"Be Prepared" from "The Lion King"

Cascoon /Dustox
"Escape From the Woods" from Wario Land 2
Same reasons as Venomoth.

The Lotad family and Koopas are both based off of Kappas and themes for Koopa Cape have a beat that Ludicolo can dance to.

"Toadwood Forest" from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
This dark and mysterious forest theme fits with Nuzleaf's and Shiftry's Dark-type nature.

Ralts /Kirlia
"Ballroom" from Luigi's Mansion
The song fits their somewhat ghostly nature and their love to dance.
Gardevoir /Gallade

This song is also known as "Teresa Waltz". Plus, the Ballroom theme from Luigi's Mansion sounds to cutesy for Gardevoir and Gallade.
Surskit /Masquerain
"Pool of Rain" from Wario Land 3
Well, I didn't want to get stuck with "Bayou Boogie" again.
Shroomish
"Mushroom Plains" from New Super Bros.
Because it's a mushroom?

Breloom dances around somewhat like a kangaroo, this song fits that.
Slakoth

Ninjask
"Battle Time" from Super Paper Mario
Same reasons as Scyther.
Shedinja
"Creepy Castle Lobby" from Donkey Kong 64
Something as creepy as a re-animated bug's shell deserve a theme that's exceptionally creepy.

Well, these guys do live in caves and this song seems to fit the fact they're themed with loudness and cacophony.
Makuhita /Hariyama
"Fight Theme" from Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Once again, I have no idea on this one...
Nosepass /Probopass
"Easton Kingdom" from Super Mario Land

"Chai Kingdom" from Super Mario Land
An Asian-sounding theme seems to fit with these guys.
Electrike /Manectric
"Huff N. Puff's theme" from Paper Mario
I swear that I'm only going to use this song one more time this one.
Plusle /Minun
"Overworld theme" from Super Mario Bros
Because I'm determined to believe that Plusle and Minun's shiny forms were based off the Mario Brothers.
Volbeat
"Out of the Woods: Day" from Wario Land 3
It's a Forest Pokémon, plus I might as well try to be unique with this guy and it's partner, Illumise.

"Out of the Woods: Night" from Wario Land 3
It's a Forest Pokémon, plus I might as well try to be unique with this guy and it's partner, Volbeat.

Carvanha /Sharpedo
"Gloomy Galleon" from Donkey Kong 64
Oh come on, must I explain this one?
Wailmer /Wailord
"Beneath the Waves"
This remix of "Aquatic Ambience" fits with Wailmer and Wailord because of the whale calls in the background.
Numel /Camerupt
"Thwomp Caverns" Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
It's fiery and the slow tempo fits with these guys' sluggishness.

"Gritzy Desert" Brawl Remix
They're desert Pokémon and Flygon is known as a "Mystic Pokémon".

"Barran Desert" from Keita Denjuu Telefang 1
It may be from an obscure game, but this song seems to fit with desert lurkers like Cacturne.
Swablu /Altaria
"Cloud Level" from Donkey Kong Land
I have got to stop putting Donkey Kong related music into these things. At least this one is something isn't one that I've used already...
Zangoose
"Main Street Colosseum" from Pokémon Colosseum
I'm absolutely clueless on this one.
Seviper
"Angry Aztec: Temples" from Donkey Kong 64
Mostly for the sound of hissing snakes in it.

Well, those ruins have one side has a moon shrine and the other has a sun shrine.

Crawdaunt
"Gloomy Galleon" from Donkey Kong 64
Dang it! I swear that this is the last I'll be using this song...
Baltoy /Claydol
"Hoohoo Mountain" from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga

"Floro Caverns" from Super Paper Mario
The song has a nice prehistoric tone to it which fits with the fact that Lileep and Cradily are ancient plants.

This song was used in the same chapter as Super Paper Mario as "Floro Caverns". Not much else, brah.
Feebas
"Dodo's Beak Dodge" from Super Mario RPG
Same reasons as Magikarp.

"Mermaid's Palace" from Donkey Kong 64
Well, Milotic does draw inspiration from mermaids.
Castform
"Cloud Levels" from Donkey Kong Land
It looks like a cloud.
Kecleon
"Fort Francis" from Super Paper Mario
Nerrrr... I can definitely picture Kecleon dancing "The Robot" to this HIGH TECHNICAAAAAL song. Plus, Francis and Kecleon are both chameleons.
Shuppet /Banette
"Luigi's Mansion" from Mario Kart DS
Well, I guess that any ghostly music will fit with theses guys.
Duskull /Dusclops /Dusknoir
"Cresent Moon Village" from Wario Land 4
It fits how these guys were inspired by the Bogey Man and the Grim Reaper.
Tropius
"Gelato Beach" from Super Mario Sunshine
Because it's tropical.
Chingling /Chimecho
"Mt. Pyre : Outer Wall" from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
Well, it's were one would catch a Chimecho.

It sounds icy and cutesy, like Snorunt.
Glalie
"Elemental Palace/Joke's End" from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
This song sounds as cold and forbidding as Glalie's icy stare.

"Aquatic Ambience" from Donkey Kong Country
I've got to stop using this one, but it especially fits with Gorebyss.
Huntail
"Water World" from Donkey Kong Country 3
Huntail is a bit shadier than Gorebyss, which fits with this song.
Relicanth
"Water World" from Donkey Kong Country 3
A dark and mysterious water theme also seems to fit with an ancient aquatic Pokémon.
Luvdisc
"Underwater World" from New Super Mario Bros.
This cutesy aquatic theme really fits with a Pokémon that's useless, but not ugly.
Bagon /Shelgon
"The Canyon" from New Super Mario Bros.
Uh... Not really sure what would've fit with these two. All I know is that what I have planned for Salamence won't fit with these two.
Salamence
"Fungi Forest Boss" from Donkey Kong 64
What did I tell you? This song just screams the chaos and destruction that Salamence can dish out. Plus, this song was boss music for a dragon.
Beldum /Metang /Metagross
"Hideout Helm" from Donkey Kong 64
This song especially fits with Metagross, who is a real beast at competitive battling.
Regirock /Regice /Registeel

Jirachi
"Rainbow Road" from Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Just trying to keep up the pattern of having the mini-Psychic ledgendaries be associated with Rainbow Road themes.
Deoxys
"Deoxys Battle" from Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen
Once more, this was Deoxys's own personal battle music.
