== | ==Overview== | ||
Villainous teams in the [[core series]] have many aspects in common. Their structure generally includes, in order of rank, a leader, one or more admins and a number of anonymous grunts. Some teams have additional levels of authority within them, such as [[Team Flare]]'s scientists, as well as additional members and associated individuals who do not fit into the hierarchy at all, such as [[Gladion]], who works with [[Team Skull]]. | Villainous teams in the [[core series]] have many aspects in common.

Team Yell is the villainous team of the [[Galar]] region. The grunts' black-and-pink uniforms are inspired by {{wp|Football hooliganism|football hooligans}} and punks; and consist of sneakers, pranks, tank tops, vests, and gloves. Many of their clothing articles are ripped/torn or embellished with spikes and studs. The grunts also wear face paint and dyed or painted hair. Their symbol is a stylized, upside-down Y, forming an eye tattoo or a claw, though it also closely resembles their signature Y-shaped {{wp|vuvuzela}}. In reality, Team Yell grunts are [[Spikemuth]] [[Gym Trainer (Trainer class)|Gym Trainer]]s in disguise, under their captain and Gym Leader [[Piers]]. | Team Yell is the villainous team of the [[Galar]] region.

===[[Explorers]]=== | |||
The '''Explorers''' (Japanese: '''エクスプローラーズ''' ''Explorers'') are a mysterious organization that is after [[Liko]]'s pendant, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' sworn enemy, and the main antagonistic organization in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. | |||
Similar to previous anime series, ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' introduces a new trio of villains. Unlike [[Team Rocket Trio|other]] [[Team Skull trio|trios]], however, [[Amethio]], [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] are more competent and serious in their actions, getting to the point of being more violent too, not caring if their actions might hurt other Pokémon or people. | |||
Over the course of the anime, other members of this organization are introduced, such as [[Hamber]], [[Spinel]], and the leader of the organization, [[Gibeon]], even though his true appearance is not seen yet. | |||
