This is lore for my web comic. I'm basing these off of the japanese shinto.

There’s going to be 9 in total. In shinto mikos are chosen by one particular kami, whom they devote their life to. Starting off with Shikaru's kami called Inari.

About

Inari is the kami of fertility, rice, tea, sake, agriculture and industry, prosperity and worldly success. Their messengers take the form of foxes.  

Pokemon

I picked ninetails to represent Inari. At the moment it's the only one that can be seen in either Kanto or Alolan form. The form it takes usually depends on the chosen miko and varies from each individual. For example it could be something major like the individuals ideals to something minor like their favorite hobby. In Shikaru's case it’s due to living in a cold climate her Inari takes the Alolan form.

Active

While the kami’s don't interfere much when they are called upon their assistance range from counseling to battle. In battle they give the miko an additional 5th move, add a dual typing to moves and affect the weather. Their corporeal form will appear misty like below, but most of the time they are transparent.

For shikaru attacks like Psybeam become duel psychic and ice, 5th move is Aurora Veil and hail will start to fall. This is only temporary and usually in dire circumstances.
