Here are your starters (being both technically-returnbies you get FEs guaranteed):
Who's Des's Pokémon?
Iiiiiiiit's Carracosta!
And Des's starting item is:-
A Poison Ampoule Bolt from Dungeons of Dredmor!
Poison Ampoule Bolt is a pretty decent item for a sweeper like Carracosta. It functions in a similar way to King's Rock - moves that don't have a chance to Poison the enemy get a 10% chance to in addition to any other effects - which means you can spread it like nobody's business. Carracosta's access to both Solid Rock and Shell Smash means that it can do extremely well as a physical or even a mixed sweeper, and sometimes Poison can be just enough to finish the job. However, Poison Ampoule Bolt is outclassed by the Poison Bottle Bolt, which replaces not only replaces the effect with Bad Poisoning (cf. Toxic), but also has a 10% chance to Badly Poison adjacent enemy targets. Shame, really.

Who's Matt's Pokémon?
Iiiiiiit's Gorebyss!
And Matt's starting item is:
An Acidspitter from Dungeons of Dredmor!
Okay, now THIS syngery works better. Gorebyss is a special Shell Smash sweeper who benefits hugely from rain. The Acidspitter gives every non-contact move a 20% chance to lower the target Pokemon's Special Defence by 1 stage. When something's switching in, that means it's much easier to keep your pink fish mon alive for longer. Why aren't you using one? Do it now!

And there we go. Apologies for the tiny item pictures.
