I figured out some of the team

1. Sakura is his main partner. She was also with him the longest. He hatched her from an egg that he was given on his 16th birthday

2. His arcanine flare is his name

3. Sweeny is a male meowscarada

4.   monty the obstagoon

5. If allowed. He has zai the zaican. He doesn't really battle with him. He babies him though and treats him like a puppy

6. Unknown ( I don't know who yet)
