OK i just had a strange thought. You know in real life, groups of animals have interesting names:
a school of fish
a gaggle of geese
a murder of crows
etc
Well, I got thinking about what would be appropriate collective nouns for pokemon. Some probably should just be inherited from real animals:
a school of magikarp
a murder of murkrows
etc
But for some of the more outlandish ones what should we do? Maybe...
a shock of mareep
a cloud of altaria
a snuggle of snorlaxes
But I definitely think it should be a posse of psyducks. Anyway, just a silly thought...... Any other ideas?

yeah, im not usually creative. but people on these forums are always coming up with crazy questions about pokemon - the best one i can remember is "what pokemon would you like to eat?" 
but the reason i thought of this one is that when i was studying for my phd, me and some of the other students used to wonder what the collective noun for mathematicians should be. a "set" or "group" seem to be good choices (wouldnt really make sense to most non-mathematicians).
anyway, i'm way off topic - sorry!!! it certainly is random, but i think there are some pretty creative people out there. lets just wait for an asylum of psypoke members to get thinking

nice, or maybe a "migraine". herd is good, but maybe a "stomp of miltanks"? probably herd is more correct though.....

I didn't know mathematicians were closed under multiplication!
How about an avalanche of Geodudes?

A murder of Murkrow or a murder of Honchkrow.
"Murder" is actually the term used for a flock of crows. Or... ****, was that ravens?
Aaah, either way.

How about an avalanche of Geodudes? they are! and inversion thats why "set" might be a better word. it wouldnt offend non-algebraists as much either.
i like everyones ideas here, especially alphabet of unowns and party of ludicolo - theyre very good
a purr of skitties
a scream of explouds
a sneeze of nosepasses
a mirage of mews

A mouthful of Lickitung, and a tirade of Tyranitar.
Very creative, Cuddles. And an admirable career choice as well.
