Below are some "rebus" that lead to names of different Pokémons. However, here is the catch: The rebuses do not all explicitly lead to the name of Pokémons. The rebuses may be describing the Pokémon's physical looks, a signature ability/move, name, or type. It's YOUR job to figure it out! Think out side the box. Please explain thoroughly!!!! enter image description here

Hint, hint!

Remember, some rebuses may be describing a SIGNATURE MOVE/ABILITY.

Partial Answer for C:

A reverse Google image of the 1st picture tells me it is the Judgment Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Judgment is the signature move of Arceus .
Moreover, Arceus is the master of the three Lake guardians.

Team Effort:

Answer for A (from Robotnik)

(A.) Aegislash - has a stance change ability (which is evident from the diagram)

Answer for B (from Mic Croizer)

(B.) Lucario - since Lucario is a fighting/steel type and is blue, plus has a commonly associated move called Aura Sphere

Answer for C (from Florian Bourse)

(C.) Arceus - since the dragon is called the Judgement dragon from Yu-gi-oh and Arceus's signature move is Judgement, plus Arceus is the trio master of the lake guardians.

Answer for D (from Quantum Twinkle)

(D.) Lunatone - Because it's in the shape of the moon, and looks like a rock.

Answer for E (from Tarius (me)):

(E.) Leafeon - which splits into a leaf and eon (representing a large number)

C (Incorrect but left for posterity)

Lugia - Dinosaur/Dragon/Bird-like, known as the 'Guardian of the Seas'. In fact, the line in between the pictures makes it look like it's "Lugia OVER the Seas'

Edit: Another guess

A

Aegislash
The image shows a person with different stances, with specifically arrows going to 1->2->3. This makes me think the ability is Stance change, the signature ability of Aegislash.

As a bonus, the stance 1 & 3 is similar and look like a ready-to-attack stance, while 2 looks more defensive. Fits with how aegislashes switch between an offensive and defensive form with stance change.

C

Giratina
First image is a dragon, and the second is a calm lake with a perfect reflection in it. A vertically inverted version of reality, so to speak.

Giratina is a legendary dragon type who reigns over the distortion/reverse world, an inverted dimension which is closely connected to reflections and mirrors and pools of water.

Old answer:
For C, though it's a bit of a stretch -

Hydreigon, the only dragon type found in the Clear Lake dungeon in Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon?

Looks like only C needs answering:

My guess is Articuno. The "dragon" looks like articuno (despite articuno not being a dragon type at all). But my real reason is because the second picture displays a reflection. The only pokemon that resembles a dragon and learns Reflect is Articuno. No dragon pokemon learn reflect other than through TM usage.

A guess for A:

Long Reach ability - Decidueye, since the staff gives a longer reach.

Schooling ability - Wishiwashi, since he is training

Stamina ability - Mudscale, he is training for a long time

A:

Farfetch'd. There's and item called Stick that only he can make use of. This is ignoring that hint you gave about abilities. With regards to your hint, the only ability I could think of was Sticky Hold (Get it? 'cause he's holding a stick) which isn't unique to a single pokemon.

C:

Rayquaza. Shows a dragon over some place. I assume this refers to Dragon Ascent which is Rayquaza's signature move.

C (second answer):

Giratina. The image below might be referring to the reflection on the water which leads me to think Reverse World i.e. Giratina.

A:

My guess is Hitmontop. Because of the turn or spin in the fighting stance I would think of a fighting type pokemon, maybe a rapid spin user and most of all the constant spinning motion of Hitmontop.

C:

My first guess was Palkia just because it is a Water/Dragon Type. But then I thought it could be Suicune. Maybe it was the look of the creature in the picture, which made me think of one of the Legendary Beasts of Gen II. The water of the lake lead to a water type and in the original anime Ash met Suicune in the mist on a rock (hence mountains) of a lake, which also would fit for the shown pictures.
