  • I haven't given it any thought at all so far.
    Other than it being all new mons, and probably picking the kitty as my starter.
    I usually just add stuff on the fly for a first playthrough.

  • I still didn't get the game, but I have my teams for both Scarlet and Violet planned a little bit.

    I'll start with Violet:

    Scarlet:
    Spoiler:


    I was surprised by the lack of Bug-types that would catch my interest. Usually, I do use early Bug-type, but this time, the selection is rather weak.

  • I just got the game a few hours ago so I'm still at the start, just got to Terastalize for the first time and now I'll finally go and visit the school/academy for the first time.

    My team at the moment is Popeye the Quaxly, Jabba the Paldean Wooper, Lizzo the Lechonk and Goldblum the Spewpa. Only Popeye has the secure spot on my final team and the other 3 will most likely be replaced by something better later down the line.

  • I got the game at midnight release, but in total I've played the game just for a few hours. Currently my team includes:

    Sprigatito
    Lechonk
    Fletchling
    Ralts
    Shroodle
    Pawmi

    I want to use as many different Pokémon as possible and then retire them when they evolve. That way, I can slowly work on my Pokedex.

  • 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! :(

    I like too many of the new pokemon. I'm going to/am doing a team of 12 in each game:

    Scarlet
    Spoiler:


    Violet
    Spoiler:


    There's honestly still about half a dozen pokemon or so I still want to use, but they're going to have to wait for a third playthrough.

  • My team is still going to include my usual favorites. I am still going to have Gardevoir, Gengar, and Haxorus as usual. I definitely have to plan the rest of my team though for sure. I might spend most of Monday planning my team instead of tonight. I had a long night tonight!

  • I think it will change going ahead, but for now:

    - Quaxwell
    - Pawmo
    - Masquerain
    - Kirlia
    - Clodsire
    - Gimmighoul

    I don't know anything about their evolutions, so everything is just a discovery. I will be honest and say that it's not really an exceptional team, but it kinda works too.

  • I struggled really hard with not nabbing all of my favorites from prior generations right off the bat. Every time I've run across a lake of Dratini or a cave of Gible and Larvitar it's been a test of will.

    - Meowscarada
    - Dudunsparce
    - Annihilape
    - Lokix
    - Garganacl
    - Kilowattrel

  • I am making very slow progress because I keep getting side tracked by items and honestly not really training very much because the trainers are spread so far out.

    I arrived at the 3rd Gym and I've defeated 1 Titan. Struggling a lot with Star Base (Fire) because I can't find a decent water type I like. Not to mention I was under leveled because I wasn't going out of my way to find trainers.

    Right now my team is:
    Crocalor
    Skiddo
    Dolliv
    Wattrel
    Naclstack
    Pawniard

    Originally I wasn't going to use Dolliv, but its final evo is actually really powerful and becoming a favorite. But my love for Skiddo will probably overcome it eventually. I might give Skiddo a break later. I also wasn't going to use Naclstack, but honestly I really need it atm because of Team Star fire. No doubt this will drastically change in the coming time, especially when I get into the Ice area.

  • I finished the game with:

    Skeledirge
    Tinkaton
    Garchomp
    Gardevoir
    Drednaw
    Gogoat

    I don't tend to plan teams out in advance, rather I just figure it out as I go through the game

  • Currently I have:

    - Meowscarada
    - Grafaiai
    - Armarouge
    - Tinkatuff
    - Pawmot

    Still thinking on what to have the sixth team member be, it's tough. Had Farigiraf but then Charcadet evolved which was already psychic so I had to box it.
