What's your team now?

[Megan]

Skeledirge
Kilowattrel
Tinkaton
Arboliva
Veluza

The last one is currently Lokix but I used Clodsire before that. I don't think I'll stick with the former one for too long, though...

 

[Devalue]

Currently Floragato, Naclstack, Charcadet, and a freshly-caught Wattrel. Technically caught Charcadet shortly after the first gym. Only just joined the team. (Level 30. Saw no others.) Seeks the other two team members still.

Dropped Wiglett Paldean Diglett after seeing its evolution. Really expected something different. Was just Dugtrio after all.

Can anyone point me in the direction of wild Wattrels please? It's my favourite Gen 9 Pokémon and I want it to be my main, but I've been halfway round the map today and I cannot find any! :(

Found several north of Artazon, between there and the Electric Gym's city.

My final team is now:

Meowscarada
Pawmot
Armarouge
Tatsugiri
Tinkaton
Grafaiai

They serve me well even if Tatsu is new and has barely done anything lol.

 

[LilyGardy]

I have finished all the Titans, have one Gym left and am currently outside the wrestler's base.

My team:

Meowscarada (Grass Tera Type)
Arboliva (Grass Tera Type)
Armourouge (Flying Tera Type)
Blaze Tauros (Fighting Tera Type)
Palafin (Water Tera Type)
Florges (Grass Tera Type)

Levels are about Level 52.

I only tend to Terestialise with Arboliva or Florges. Star of my team is Arboliva.

 

[Devalue]

Meowscarada, Garganacl, Great Tusk, Dondozo, Armarouge, and Kilowattrel. Spoilered overall thoughts on them. (Did not quite complete the game yet, but probably soon?) Mentions content a few times.

Spoiler:

Finished the three main paths. Stands just before Area Zero.

Describes this as an unusual team, personally. Favors having Pokemon lower offensive stats, then bringing in something to sweep. Relied significantly more on switching between Meowscarada with U-turn and Kilowattrel with Volt Switch. Recognized those to be good moves before. Usually never had good users for them.

Spread out typings pretty well. Cannot say the same for stat spread. Fielded three with heavy hitpoints and physical stats, two fast hitters, ...and Armarouge. Admittedly thought about Tatsugiri instead of Dondozo. Did not need another Fairy weakness, though. Prioritized typing over stat spread, given the need for solid switches.

• Meowscarada: Led the team until level 30 by virtue of levels. Served as a great lead. Cut down a few good match-ups (improved further with an Expert Belt). Bailed on the worse ones. (Tried to play it as Set mode.) Played a role in tons of battles the whole way.
• Garganacl: Likes having a strong Defense + Body Press option in Sword/Shield. Hoped for Gigalith, in terms of stats. Got even better between better Hitpoints, Special Defense, and a ridiculous ability. Immunity to status effects and a free Ghost resistance? Yes, please. Defeated Titan Great Tusk effortlessly, despite being three levels under (supposedly) and in a terrible type match-up. (Did it for style points.)
  
  Took a while to get going. Still managed to assist for some titans and bases before the power surge of evolution + Body Press. Actually still knows Salt Cure. Dropped it just before Titan Orthworm. Relearned it for phase 2. Serves as a backup strategy.
• Great Tusk: Okay. Usually favors Garganacl, despite better physical bulk. (Avoided having more than one Leftovers.) Definitely has more offensive flexibility, as well as a Bulk Up option.
• Dondozo: Has not spent much time with it, honestly. Wanted a Water or Fairy type. Overlapped a lot with Garganacl and Great Tusk in stat spread. Fares okay with its Assault Vest.
• Armarouge: Not that impressed. May be trying to force it into a role it should not be. Always felt a hair too slow, though. Hoped for Calm Mind + Flame Charge to create a sweeping force. Never really managed good setup for that. Could be a team issue (not enough debuff support) or a perception issue (three tubby Pokemon on the team). Also, no Leftovers or Sitrus Berry.
• Kilowattrel: Awkward. Wanted a debuffer. Lacked the stats to take a few hits. Performs worse than Meowscarada in the scout role. Helps via Eerie Impulse sometimes, at least. Has the only Electric and Flying moves on the team too. Scores a few knockouts here and there.

 

[Adam Levine]

I followed a Tweet's advice and used three main teams: one for each of the three main stories (with some irregular team members here and there). And let me tell you, splitting time between three teams while playing on set mode and refusing to use non-held items makes it quite a challenge.

Starfall Street: Just a Normal Team
1. Gardevoir. It's a tradition at this point for me to use a Gardevoir to deal with the evil team of a game, and this is no different.
2. Skeledirge. Throat Spray Torch Song strats are basically what this mon was designed for.
3. Garganacl. This one is a Shiny I came across completely on accident.
4. Veluza. Veluza's signature move is extremely interesting, and it's helped me out in a few points.
5. Appletun. I love the Applin line, so this was a no-brainer for me.
6. Weavile. Also a long-time fan of Sneasel here.

Path of Legends: Single-stagers
1. Komala. This one is also a Shiny I came across on accident. Funny how that works, huh? Anyway, Komala's unique traits made me really want to use it this time around.
2. Indeedee. Just a regular Calm Mind Baton Passer...when the strat works.
3. Baile Oricorio. Also a Baton Passer. The fact that it gets Quiver Dance makes it a fun toy to play with.
4. Orthworm. One of the cooler new Pokémon in my opinion, especially given that it's our first annelid Pokémon, it has Earth Eater, and it's got Shed Tail too.
5. Torkoal. It enables Oricorio and Tropius with Drought, and can fight on its own with Shell Smash and Flamethrower.
6. Tropius. It's usually more of a burden than an asset, but when it works it works. Tropius is just one of my favorite Pokémon, okay?
I wanted to fit a Falinks in here, but couldn't really do so.

Victory Road: Mono-Poison
1. Seviper. My ironic love for Seviper has slightly turned less ironic, as it was Seviper that landed the finishing blow in the final fight.
2. Grafaiai. Just a regular fast physical attacker, with Parting Shot as well.
3. Glimmora. It's my hazards setter, and does a really good job at what it does.
4. Revavroom. This thing is basically what makes this team viable without overleveling.
5. Salazzle. Fire-type coverage was very important.
6. Venomoth. Quiver Dance and Tinted Lens go brrr.

End- and Post-game spoilers:

Spoiler:

The Way Home: A Culmination
1. Glimmora
2. Grafaiai
3. Venomoth. This was what ultimately carried, because of Quiver Dance.
4. Oricorio
5. Weavile
6. Tatsugiri. Sadly it wasn't much more than a benchwarmer, so hopefully I can find use for it in the postgame.

Speaking of the postgame, I plan to use more monotype teams. Considering Tatsugiri and Dondozo's gimmick, that seems like a no-brainer to me.

 

[NoobMaster_6ix9]

My Pokemon team as of now & is about to get the 3rd badge, got some more mons in the box. Gyarados & Hawlucha + a Shiny.

 

[NoobMaster_6ix9]

Are you grinding for XP? I'm gonna assume you are & would need to with 3 separate teams.

I have 2 teams. 1 for battling + story & another just for gathering items.

So easy to become over-leveled with the recent pokemon main titles. Too easy is not good.

I'm also following a guide to play the story in the proper level order.

The game is a 6.5/10 for me so far. The open world is big but it's so empty. Hardly any random trainer battles. They're so scattered & hard to find all of them. Not a fan of that.

 

[NoobMaster_6ix9]

I don't have Scarlet & Violet yet but do plan on getting them quite soon but these are the teams I will use for both games

Scarlet

Quaquaval
Kilowattrel
Pawmot
Scovillain
Faririgraf
Baxcalibur

Violet

Skeledirge
Kilowattrel
Palafin
Espathra
Tinkaton
Cetitan

You realize those 2 games are the exact same right? Just a few different Pokemon in each version.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I think my team is pretty much finalized currently since I am at 8/8 Gyms. 4/5 Titans. 3/5 Star Bosses.

My team now is the following all in which are Lv 47 or higher. Highest being 54.
Bisharp
Gogoat
Baxcalibur
Annihilape
Skeledirge
Clawitzer

Claw is still possibly a temp member, but I am not sure yet. I want to evolve Bisharp if possible before I take on the E4 and I also want to try to get a shiny, but having terrible luck. And while Annihilape has been fun, I think his time on my team is coming close to the end. So I might have one more update before I take on the E4.

 

[Sandslash Fan]

I keep filling my 6 slots up with things I want to level up and evolve for the Pokedex (but now realize I was wasting my time since you can catch a lot of fully-evolved mons later in the game). I am looking at trying a roster of new Pokémon - Meowscarada, Garganacl, Bellibolt, Glimmora, Baxcalibur, and adding a returning Azumarill since I have one with Huge Power and it's been great for going through the game with.

Looking at the calculator, I'll have 3 with weakness to Fighting, Ground, and Steel moves, so I might have a seventh Pokémon to swap out for certain fights.

 

[tokyodrift]

At the moment it's:

Floragato
Cyclizar
Ceruledge
Naclstack
Dachsbun
Wattrel

I'm sure that'll change though

 

[Sweet Serenity]

I currently use three teams for Violet thus far. It seems as if this game was made for the purpose of using more than one team. I am having a lot of fun using several teams in this game. I use a primary, secondary, and tertiary team.

Primary team:

Meowscarada
Pawmot
Pelipper
Haxorus
Gengar
Gardevoir

Secondary team:

Lucario
Magnezone
Garchomp
Weavile
Espathra
Mismagius

Tertiary team:

Palafin
Breloom
Kilowattrel
Mimikyu
Salazzle
Espeon

 

[Corveone]

Final team (Now they're all at level 64 after doing the fourth Story)

Spoiler:

Other mons I swapped in and out temporarily to prevent the others from overlevelling: Bombirdier, Kilowattrel, Tinkaton, Orthworm, Espathra.

Level curve really doesn't seem balanced for a fixed six team, and I never even used the auto-battle mechanic or Exp. Candies. I think it's better to play with at least 10 Pokémon and do some rotation (or more, depending on how much you want to explore)

 

[DT Valentina]

Starfall Street Team
01. Haxorus
02. Hydreigon
03. Dragonite
04. Dragalge
05. Tyranitar
06. Cyclizar

Path of Legends
01. Hydreigon
02. Dragonite
03. Tyranitar
04. Noivern
05. Noivern
06. Altaria

Victory Road: Mono-Dragon
01. Baxcalibur
02. Hydreigon
03. Dragalge
04. Salamence
05. Goodra
06. Garchomp

 

[Nah]

-Meowscarada
-Orthworm
-Vaporeon
-Ceruledge
-Salamence
-Dachsbun

Everything's level 55-57 atm, have all the badges, beat all the Titans and Team Star bosses, so now it's just the final tasks for each of those routes plus whatever comes after

 

[Sandslash Fan]

I ended up going with Meowscarada, Garganacl, Bellibolt, Glimmora, Baxcalibur, and Azumarill as planned for the Elite Four and Champion and had zero issues. I hadn't even looked up any spoilers and wasn't over-leveled like I usually am at the end of the game(s). The only thing that went wrong for the champion was that I had an OHKO on each of her Pokémon except the final one since Garganacl missed two Hammer Arm in a row... It wasn't my intent to OHKO all of her roster, but when I noticed the first two go down super easy (even my lead Glimmora killed something with Power Gem in one shot), I just kept going for it. My Light Screen/Reflect Bellibolt even got an OHKO lol

Now, that's a tough team! I like it a lot.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

My main team consists of Skeledirge, Pawmot, Clodsire, Tinkaton, Arboliva, and Palafin. I rotate Flamigo, Naclstack, and Veluza in my team whenever needed.

 

[Palamon]

Bogart the Sprigatito, Savon the Paldean Wooper, and Varg the Fidough.

Tbh, idk if I'll use this team until the end of the game, but I set myself to have at least one grass, poison, and fairy Pokemon because I think these three types fit Siorc as a character since I'm using his likeness for my character's appearance, but Pala as my name.
