    Taylor used Swift!

    by Alexis Nedd, Ahmed Ali Akbar, Jean-Luc Bouchard, Andrew Richard

    This Tumblr post about Rihanna's "Pokémon chic" outfit went viral when artist green-glasses drew her as a dark type gym leader.

    So naturally we wondered: what would other celebrities look like if they had their own Pokémon gyms?

    Taylor Swift - Grass Gym Leader

    Favorite Pokémon: Roselia

    Taylor's legendary girl squad surrounds her at all times, just like Erika at the Celadon City Gym. A Roselia is her go-to Pokémon, and while it may look like a cheer captain with its flowery pom poms, you better watch out for its Poison Point attack!

    Beyoncé - Fire Gym Leader

    Favorite Pokémon: Ninetails

    Queen Bey is all fire and flames at the Lavaridge Gym, and is rarely seen without her prize Ninetails, Sasha Fierce.

    Katy Perry - Water Gym Leader

    Favorite: Pokémon: Twin Sharpedos

    Katy Perry's Sharpedos are (ALMOST) always in sync. That guy on Katy's left might need a little more training.

    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - Rock Gym Leader

    Favorite Pokémon: Onyx

    Like the Pokémon he raises, Gym Leader Dwayne is a big 'ol softie with a hard body. Who needs Brock when you have the Rock?

    Miley Cyrus - Normal Gym Leader

    Favorite Pokémon: Lickitung

    Rumor has it that Miley appropriated her signature tongue-out pose from her trusted Lickitung!

    Nicki Minaj - Dragon Gym Leader

    Favorite Pokémon: Goodra

    You could be the king but Nicki is the undisputed queen of Blackthorn Gym. You can catch her hanging around town with her toy breed Goodra, Troy, which she caught in Detroit.

    Chris Pratt - Fighting Gym Leader

    Andrew Richards/ BuzzFeed

    Favorite Pokémon: Machoke

    Cianwood Gym Leader Chris Pratt is really good with Pokémon who vaguely resemble dinosaurs. Someone tried to ask him about it once but he didn't give them a straight answer.

    Lorde - Dark Pokémon Trainer

    Andrew Richards/ BuzzFeed

    Favorite Pokémon:Umbreon

    Lorde is a gymless leader, wandering Kanto with her mysteriously powerful Umbreon...

    Sia - Ghost Gym Leader

    Andrew Richards/ BuzzFeed

    Favorite Pokémon: Chandelure

    I'M GONNA SWING FROM THE CHANDELU-UUUREEEE
