What will your team be?

[Thunderflare]

Someone showed me this, which could help. Spoiler warning: It shows all the Pokemon that were leaked.

I usually build my team around Crobat. I'll definitely keep Ash-Greninja and Kommo-o in my team. As for where I'm going from there...well some of the Pokemon were leaked, so I'll put up spoiler tags.

Spoiler:

Golisopod is another must for me, though I might use Araquanid instead.

For my remaining two slots, I'm going to try a lot of Pokemon and stick with what I like. Pokemon I'm trying out are:

• Snorlax
• Incineroar
• Alolan Raticate
• Ledian
• Alolan Raichu
• Vikavolt
• Alolan Dugtrio
• Oricoro
• Ribombee
• Midday Lycanroc
• Stoutland
• Eevee (might be evolving it)
• Mudsdale
• Salazzle
• Palossand
• Archeops
• Silvally
• Skarmory
• Krookodile
• Flygon or Garchomp
• Mimikyu
• Alolan Sandslash

That Team Planner linked by Thunderflare is a useful spot to review your planned team, such as if you'll have a major weakness to a certain type. Half of my planned team is unfortunately is going to have a weakness to Ground but I will be carrying a Water and Grass-type to counter my huge Ground weakness anyway.

 

[Marshstomp2k16]

I plan on using a all 7th gen/ Alolan team. The team builder website was extremely helpful as well :)

Spoiler:

- Rowlett
- Wimpod
- Geodude
- Vulpix
- Jangmo-o
- Salandit

 

[Hikamaru]

Also a reminder about the Team Planner - it currently only has Alola Dex Pokemon listed.

Yeah it's been useful. Even though my 5 planned Pokemon (so far) have 2 type overlaps, my team doesn't have more than 2 Pokemon weak to a particular type. So I'm taking that as a good sign.

Plus 4 out of the 5 are resistant to Water, which could be good in an island region.

Here's mine.

Spoiler:

Solid FWG core. Fell in love with Oricorio-Sensu when it was announced and I knew I just had to use it in my first run.

Another tentative I was thinking is...

Spoiler:

Since I'm getting both games, it's gonna be fine lol. I could always restart the game so I can get to use A-Ninetales and A-Exeggutor and A-Marowal plus Primarina so no regrets lol.

With Turtonator being exclusive to Sun, I have decided that I'll start with Moon, and pick Litten as my starter. So here's my tentative Moon team:

Spoiler:

Confirmed:
-Incineroar
-Palossand
-An Electric type (Vikavolt, Tapu Koko, Alola Raichu, or Alola Golem)
-A Water type (Bruxish, Wishiwashi, Toxapex, or Araquanid)

Other possible team members:
-Bewear
-Crabominable
-Kommo-o
-Lurantis
-Oranguru
-Shiinotic
-Toucannon
-Tsareena
-Tapu Lele
-Alola Exeggutor
-Alola Sandslash

Tentative Sun team:

Spoiler:

Confirmed:
-Decidueye
-Salazzle or Turtonator
-A Water type I didn't have in my final team in Moon

Other possible team members:
-Mudsdale
-Tapu Lele
-Alola Dugtrio
-Alola Muk
-Alola Ninetales
-An Electric type I didn't have in my final team in Moon
-A Fighting type I didn't have in my final team in Moon

Also, both teams will have temporary members, but I'm not going to mention those.

 

[Hikamaru]

@classiccartoonsftw I can inform Alolan Ninetales and Alolan Sandslash are version exclusive as well. Sun gets Ninetales and Moon gets Sandslash.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I was wondering about something spoilery related to the games and since it's sorta related to team building I'll ask it here in spoilers: (I wouldn't call this super spoilery though)

Spoiler:

I saw a post earlier that showed a Chikorita that had been caught on Melemele island and they said they had used the QR code scanning feature in order to obtain it. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it only part of the post-game or can you obtain these Pokemon during the main story?

Must be post-game. If you could obtain them during the main story, they would've been in the Pokedex leak.

Not if the game didn't consider them as being part of the Alolan pokedex.

Spoiler:

The picture I saw said something like "You've found the trace of a rare Pokemon" and then it had a silhouette of a Chikorita.

If they really found that in-game, then it must've been a postgame thing, because I doubt Game Freak would just allow us to get Pokemon that aren't in the regional dex this way in the main story.

 

[Hikamaru]

Like the others said, I think it might be a post-game thing. Chikorita (or in fact, any starters from Gens 1-6) aren't in the Alola Dex and therefore not obtainable until most likely post-game.

 

[MisterSushi]

Well now that we know all of the new Pokémon, I guess I'll make my team!
I'll go with: Decidueye, Salazzle (salandit evo), Kommo-o, Mudsdale, Alolan Raichu, and... another one? I've got no idea what to put in the last slot. Any suggestions?

You seem like you can deal with any type, though I'd put a Water or Ice type in the last slot if I were you.

 

[CF1994]

1. Primarina
2. Salazzle
3. Vikavolt
4. Lurantis
5. Lunala
6. Palossand

 

[thedestinedblade]

Not even sure anymore. {XD} Everything is so slow this gen, I just might end up using Cutiefly or Salandit, who I didn't have any intention of using on my initial playthrough, just to have some speed on my team.

Primarina
Bewear
Lurantis/Exeggutor (whichever shows up first)
Salazzle
Palossand
Beartic gotta a much needed boost, so I might use it as well.

Except that Beartic isn't in the Alola Dex, so you might need a filler until Bank support for 7th Gen starts in January. As for the Lurantis/Alolan Exeggutor debacle, the leaked Dex says Lurantis is available on the second island (Akala) which is still fairly early whereas for Exeggutor it's on Poni Island which is extremely late-game.
