Right, Lurantis will be going straight onto my team. It is by far my new favourite Alola Pokemon and now this generation is making it seriously tough to pick just six Pokemon for a team. ;_;
|
Definitely Popplio as starter. I'm going for elegance theme/route for my team. For my walktrough, I'll be avoiding using old Pokemon and giving the chance for all the new Pokes to grow on me.
|
I know I said I wasn't going to plan my team in advance, but there's now so many new Pokemon I like the look of. So far, I have decided on Litten/Rowlett, Bewear, Rockruff, Drampa, Salandit (if I pick Rowlett) or Lurantis (if I pick Litten) and Oricorio. Although, this may change when more new Pokemon are revealed.
|
Litten
Spoiler:
Cutiefly My best friend. Fomantis > Lurantis It's beautiful. I love praying mantises. Sorry, berry-looking Grass-Type. Maybe if you evolved! Oricorio I'm still torn on Flamenco or Sensu style. I love both (especially Flamenco, one of my favorite music genres and dance styles) but I already have a Fire-Type through my starter. Maybe I'll use Flamenco first and replace it with a Sensu style later. Rockruff Still a little iffy on if this pup will come with me to the Champion's room, but I'm sure I'll use it at least in the beginning. |
As of right now...
Popplio Wimpod (I like the idea of turning a cowardly Pokemon into a brave fighter) Mimikyu Mudsdale Lurantis And either Pikipek or Oricorio, depending on possible evolutions. |
Something like this, though it's a tentative list:
Rowlet Mimikyu Alolan-Vulpix/Snowshrew (I expect them to be version differences) Oricorio Baille Style (Flamenco) Mudsdale Salandit Definitely catching these, as I have a thing for Grass-types: Bounsweet Comfey Lurantis |
More than likely/essentially yes:
Litten Lucario Possibly: Vikavolt Lurantis Mudsdale Edit: Am I like the only one here who's planning on using Pokémon outside of the new ones/Alolan forms? :p |
Right now, it's looking like:
Definite yes: Alola Ninetales (oh my gosh she's just the most beautiful and perfect thing) Mudsdale (because I can't not have a new horse on my team) Almost certainly: Salandit Mimikyu Still considering: Cutiefly Komala Rockruff Rowlet (if the leaks are true) Litten (if they miraculously turn out to not be true.) |
Popplio
Alolan Sandlash Other stuff |
I am not so sure yet since I keep changing the team once the new mons are revealed so I will definitely wait until I see all the pokemon but as the moment, a team full of bears has come to my mind
|
So far I'm only certain about using Rowlet and Mimikyu. But Minior / Drampa / and Wimpod are definitely contenders as well, I'll just have to wait and see if they grow on me enough.
|
Lunaris and Alola Ninetales are definitely going on my team :) Maybe Drampa too. I still don't know what starter I'm going to pick, though. Litten is what I'm thinking of right now, but if the leaks are real I'm not sure what I'm gonna do LOL. Maybe Popplio.
edit: Forgot about Salandit! I really like it, and I hope it gets an evolution. |
Two Pokemons I am 100% SURE will put on my team will be Popplio/it's evolution line and Mudbray/Mudsdale.
Salandit I am about 75% going to have on my team. I like poisoning the opponent, but with that x4 weakness to ground I'm not as sure. Maybe the new Sandslash or Ninetales, I'm not sure about those ones. |
What my team will be if I pick Rowlet:
Robingroot (rumored name), Salandit, Alola Arcanine (rumored to be Water), Alola Alakazam (rumored to be Fighting), Alola Ninetales, and Mudsdale If I pick Litten however: Panthster (rumored name and possibly part Dark), Alola Exeggutor, Alola Arcanine, Alola Alakazam, Alola Sandslash, and Vikavolt Finally, if I pick Popplio: Entermaid (rumored name and possibly part Fairy), Alola Exeggutor, Salandit, Alola Alakazam, Rockruff, and Vikavolt |
At the moment I have eight Pokemon that I'm considering. I don't want to rotate so it's going to be tough to figure out who gets a spot.
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa285/Sabrewulf238/AlolaTeam_zpstys14ib3.png Rowlet, Drampa, Mimikyu, Wimpod, Bruxish, Salandit, Mudsdale, Minior |
Popplio
Lurantis Bewear Cutiefly (ofc) Mimikyu Oricorio (idk what form D:) Might be the first time I don't use the legendary although I might depending on the difficulty. I suppose I can have a team for moon too. Rowlet Pikipek Litten Bounsweet Vikavolt Drampa |
Oh man so far my team would consist of Rowlett and Mimikyu - not sure I want to send over mons till after I beat the game a few times. You know to get more than one legendary xp

I know I'm going to pick Rowlet/Litten (still haven't decided ._.). Also deciding on Bounsweet (if Litten), Pikipek, Alola Ninetales, Komala, Mimikyu, and Salandit (if Rowlet).

Alola Ninetales tho..... |

Right now I'll most likely be using:

|
Litten as a starter.
That's all I know for sure so far. |
I'm definitely thinkin:
Rowlet Rotom Wash Rockruff (leaving it with howl on an island to evolve sounds absolutely adorable) Salandite (Fire/Poison Hype) A Dark type A Steel type |
I like the screaming sandcastle, but not so much that I'm gonna go out of my way to put it onto my team. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna use Flamenco Oricorio and then switch it to Sensu style when that option becomes available to me, so I unless there happens to be another Pumpkaboo-esque Ghost-Type I think I've got my Ghost-Type covered already.
As for Alola forms, I never use older Pokémon on my team when I'm playing the first new game of a generation (I didn't even use the Kanto starter or any Mega Evolutions in X). So unless there's an absolutely outstanding "love-at-first-sight" Alola form (for me), I doubt I'll use any. |
Quote:
A similar thing happened to me with Emolga in Black. By using Emolga I really grew to love it when originally I didn't like it at all. So instead of being like, "Oh cool Leavanny. I love Leavanny, I'm gonna use it!" I'd rather use a new Grass- or Bug-Type and give myself the chance to love it instead. |
Quote:
Definitely using: Lurantis, Alola Ninetales, Alola Raichu Maybe: Drampa, Salandit, Shirodesuna Haven't decided on starters yet. Holding out for Litten. |
With the reveal of another cute Grass-type in Morelull, I feel very conflicted over which Pokemon to take my Grass-type slot - Bounsweet, Morelull or Lurantis? It would come down to the evolutions before I make a final choice.
Alolan Raichu is now making my plans of using a 7th Gen-only team even harder, as if there have already been some Alola Forms winning me over. |
Quote:
Actually, I am planning to so an alolan forme team on my second runthrough...and raichu and ninetails are definitely on board! |
Quote:
|
I may have to change my plans of using an all Alola Pokemon team in place of a couple of Alolan gen I Pokemon. I just really like the designs of Alolan Raichu & Alolan Marowak, enough to use them on my team.
|
I have a feeling I'll have quite an unbalanced team, haha. My current favs would make a team with a great weakness to fire, poison and steel...
- Rowlet - Alolan Ninetales - Vikavolt - Cutiefly - Comfey - Morelull <3. |
I'll make a tentative team for now.
My starter will be Litten. Nuff said. For slot 2, I'll have a Water type, because I love that type and I'm sure Alola will have lots of water. Candidates include Wishiwashi, Pyukumuku, Bruxish, and Slowbro. For slot 3, I'll have an Electric type, because this generation has introduced a lot of interesting options. Candidates include Vikavolt, Togedemaru, Tapu Koko, and Alola Raichu. For slot 4, I'm considering either Mudsdale or Palossand. But if the Ground/Fighting gorilla leak becomes true, then that'll take the spot instead. The last two slots are wildcards for now. Currently, I'm considering Pikipek, Mimikyu, Comfey, Lurantis, Morelull, Crabrawler, Sensu Oricorio, and Alola Sandslash. |
At this point, it's Popplio as starter and Bewear/Nuikoguma as far a cemented party spot. Seen a lot that I like, but not love as of yet. Still need to see the final evolved forms of few (namely Wimpod) before deciding. I'm leaning towards using the Alola Exeggutor though; it's design is just so out there I can't help but not like it.
|
Mudsdale and Litten are the only Pokémon I'm sure of. Maybe Alolan Ninetails, and if Alolan Persian is a thing then it might earn a place.
|
I already made a list in my head XD so much hype!
Litten Pikipeck (I have an undying love for national birds.) Rockruff Salandit Alolan Ninetales Alolan Raichu maybe??? Lunala (obviously) |
|
Show of hands, who's going to nickname your Yungoose "Trump" and just make him your HM slave?
|
- Rowlet
- Alolan Ninetales - Mimikyu - Oricorio - Lurantis - I don't know yet |
Quote:
|
i'll most likey be using popplio, mimikkyu, lurantis. and if salandit, cutiefly and iwanko [idk its english name] get good evolutions, they'll earn a spot too.
i may swap out cutiefly for an alolan vulpix or exeggutor because yes. i'd also like an alolan raichu but i'm not sure yet, maybe i'll get a shiny chu and evolve it post game..? |
Quote:

Quote:

Update:
Rowlet Rockruff Vikavolt Salandit Wishiwashi ? |
I'll be trying a wide variety of Pokemon, so I can't confirm my final team. But I will not be able to resist another Zubat. I always catch a Zubat.
|
Quote:
and knowing pokémon it'll probably get the slightest colour change like raichu. >-> |
Litten
Fomantis -> Lurantis Pyukumuku (if it evolves, I really hope it stays cute...) Cutiefly Oricorio Baile -> Sensu Rockruff (subject to change) (all technically tentative) |
Rowlet
Mimikyu Vikavolt Mudsdale Drampa Ninetales Exeggutor (Rotation) Marowak (Rotation) Sensu Oricorio (Rotation) Persian (If we get an Alolan form, Rotation) This will definitely change alot because I love most of these new designs. I'll probably love the ones yet to be revealed too |
Okay Gamefreak. I am likely going to preorder both games and make two completely different teams. And, I am likely to use two grass pokemon per team, but at least lurantis appearance gives it a bug typing (plus it is mostly pink) so it will not seem like two grass pokemon will be on a team, the same goes for Bounsweet, who is mostly pink. Those two will be on different teams. Aside from having a grass, water, and fire type I like to have different colored pokemon. After those games, I will need to do an Alohan Forme Team.
Starters: Popplio --> ??? --> Poppmaid Rowlett --> ??? --> Robinhoot Finalized: Fomantis --> Lurantis Mudbray --> Mudsdale Bruxish Depends on evolution(s): Bounsweet --> ??? Pyukumuku --> ??? Rockruff --> ??? Cutiefly --> ??? Morelull --> ??? Comfey --> (only if it evolves!) Alohan Team: Ninetails Raichu |
I can see myself using a full team of Alola mons for my first run, but for my second playthrough I'll most definitely be using some of the new Alolan forms of the older Pokemon. It's crazy how much things change with each new reveal, it's like I've only got two spaces left and there is probably still more than half of the new Pokedex yet to see.
|
You know, I had always pictured Litten being on my team. But if it's evolution sucks, I'm going with Rowlet. Then again, with Litten potentially being cast out, I could try using Alolan Marowak or Salandit because those guys look awesome. And I might have to break my "No Legendaries" rule for my team this time because of Solgaleo. I mean, it's a freaking alchemy lion. How cool is that?! I can't pass that up.

Originally, i had the popplio line, pikipek line, salandit, mimmikyu, Vikivolt and one other, but with Alola forms it has become this;
Popplio line, Mimmikyu, Marowak, (The Majestic) Ninetales, Lurantis and the Pikipek line, as a final team of course. I am playing with a different team each island but this is my final trial team (unless something else catches my eye). |
There aren't enough Pokemon released yet for me to fully decide... I know for a fact that I am going to have two teams. One entirely made up of new Alola Pokemon and another composed of the Alola forms of older Pokemon.
But I am definitely going to make Rowlet my starter and have an Alola Raichu <3 |
There's almost TOO many amazing Pokemon this time around. I don't dislike any of them so it's gonna be hard, especially since not all of them have even been revealed yet! But for now I'm leaning towards:
Popplio Mimikyu Oricorio (Pom Pom Style) Drampa Bewear Shirodesuna I'm also considering Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan Marowak and Alolan Raichu. Oh, and if the Chinese leak is true (which it almost definitely is) I'm pretty much positive I'm gonna have the ice/ghost snowman on my team. |

If they reveal a Dolphin Pokemon then it will be going straight on my team. I'm choosing Litten as my starter, I already have Lurantis planned as a Grass-type member so I'm just waiting for a viable Water-type to complete that type trio. 8)

Speaking of dolphins, when I was younger, I though Gulpin looked like a dolphin.

Most likely won't be using the new pokemon anytime soon. Too "cool" for my tastes.

Palossand
Crawbrawler Turtonator Regirock Clefable Togedemaru |
Too hard to tell a complete picture right now, as we don't have any leaks of merit for any final evolutions except for with the starters.
Ninetales and Marowak are pretty much guaranteed. Raichu is a possibility, but I'd like to avoid using it because I've used Raichu so many times. May still happen, though, because Electric/Psychic typing takes two types I usually use two different Pokemon types for, so I could use another new Pokemon with unique typing if I didn't just have a separate Pokemon for both types. I always use the water type, so that's pretty much guaranteed. Although in OR I dropped Swampert because that's my least favorite water starter line by a wide margin. I don't anticipate that happening with Popplio. However, I also really want Rowlet. It's the most appealing starter here, and also has the most appealing leaked final evolution. So hopefully maybe someone will give one to me? D: (I may end up getting the game late, as I don't really have money to be buying games anyway, so it might work out). Pikipek is cute, too, but I've not always been in love with the final evolutions of the starting bird Pokemon as of late. Rockruff or Mudsdale are contenders for another spot. I don't know yet. |
My team isn't completely set in stone yet, for obvious reasons. I'll go ahead and post what I'm currently thinking about using, though:
Rowlet, Crabrawler, and Marowak are pretty much guaranteed spots on my team. I'm currently debating between Electivire and Vikavolt, if someone can trade with me, then I'll go with the former. For a water-type, I'm thinking of using Lapras or maybe Pyukumuku. I also really want to use Drampa, he just looks cool to me. I'm still going to look for backups, though. Just in case something is too hard to find, or appears too late. What do you guys think? |
I don't know which starter I want. Litten, maybe?
Litten? Mimikyu Morelull Minior Alola Raichu Pyukumuku |

|
Also remember they don't show the Hidden Abilities on the trailers.
|
<Starter> I'm waiting for evos to be revealed. As it stands, probably Popplio or Rowlet
Pikipek, I always chose the regional bird Vikivolt depending on other electric types. Not a huge fan of its pre-evos. Mudsdale |
Not sure of the name but I really like the fighting type crab. The little details are so nice.
Probably go litten as my starter and rest of the team I won't decide till i play the game. |
At the moment is this team but I really want to try all of them at some point :)
Rockruff - hope he does get 3 evos and becomes the new eevee :) I'd probably get three and train them all. Lurantis - it is a pretty pokemon Bewear - I actually like bewear. Simple design and from his description, he looks to be a bug physical attacker Minior - I like this guy. Reminds me of carbink and I like the variations. I actually thought of a fakemon like him a couple of years ago. So nice to see that dream become a reality. I'll leave it at that for right now. The water types this gen haven't been the best for me tho I like all pokemon in some shape or form. I would say wishiwashi but I feel like I may need to figure out ways to counter this because pokemon like that and Mudsdale will be used by everyone. Edit: I'll probably buy both versions. So here is team 2. Crabrawler - I think it is unique. litten line - I like this pokemon's rumored final evo litten3. He looks like someone from Mucha Lucha :3 togedemaru - I like him being like an electric ferrothorn. I think he will come in handy in doubles. Alolan Marowak - Fire dancers look cool :3 I'm name him tonga :p I have my eye on the other alolan forms which I think are very very cool. Also, I'm curious how Bounsweet and Rowlet will turn out... |
Quote:

Lurantis
Morelull Mimikyu (Alolan) Raichu (Alolan) Ninetales (Alolan) Meowth Eventually Magearna and Lunala will be in my team, for sure! Will probably pick Rowlet as my starter :pokeball: |
Quote:
|
Quote:
If it turns out to be obtainable before then, I'll go ahead and use Electivire in the opposite version. |
I'm definitely using Mimikyu on my first playthrough, it's so adorable! I remember first seeing it in the CoroCoro scan and thinking it looked odd, but after seeing the trailer and as the months have gone on I've really warmed to that Pokemon for some reason. It has an awesome typing combination too. 8)

So now it's looking like:
Rockruff Salandit Ninetales-Alola Jangmo-o |
Team Moon:
Poppmaid Lurantis [fire pokemon] Rockruff Jangmo-o Cutiefly Team Sun Robinhoot Bruxish/Pyukumuku [fire pokemon] Minior Morelull Mudsdale I am going to be sad if we do not get any fire pokemon I like :( I am still holding out on the cat pokemon that can be bred to any type, a female evolution of sandalit, maybe a rockruff split evo fire typing, or some other new fire type. Also, Jangmo-o could gain fire type through its evo, but I am thinking it will be steel or rock (defensive scales), or just flying. If none of those are true, then I will go with fire-type oricorio? |
I... am a Grass Maniac myself, and I've never done this in my first play through, but I think my team will already having these Pokemon on my team:
1. Rowlet 2. Bounsweet 3. Lurantis 4. Morelull The rest of the 2 I'm picking either 2 of those: Oricorio Ghost, Comfey, Cutiefly, Jangmo-o Deary me, grass types are just so awesome ^^ |
If I had to go with 6 new ones, I'd go with:
Popplio as my starter Alola Form Ninetales Drampa Palossand Oricorio (Pom Pom style) and either Lurantis or Rockruff |
my first team is going to include:
for sure. possibly depending on evolutions, other reveals, maybe getting both versions to have a second team etc.:
|
from what ive seen them release imma take
-rockruff -togedemaru -mimikyu -bewear -tortunator -and i dont know |
Quote:
|
I'm with Blue here. With all these new Pokémon reveals, it's so hard to choose 6 from them. I know I'll definitely have Popplio, Lurantis and Jangmo-o on my team, but there are SO MANY OTHERS that I want to have :3 I'll probably switch Pokémon from my team while I go through the game, just to experience the most of these games!
|
Quote:
|
I'll probably wait on planning a team tuntil most of the Alolan dex is revealed, but I'm definately choosing Popplio as my starter, Gumshoos because of memes, Drampa or Jangmo-o.
|
it's my team (for now can be change after i will the evos)
Litten Rockruff Pikipek Togedmaru Jangmo-o Riolu (never gonna play without my fav pokemon lucario, so he taking slot if evrey pokemon game i playing) |
Without knowing all the evos, I'm definitely far from making this team a final decision, but so far my preferences look something like this:
1. Vikavolt (almost guaranteed) 2. Popplio (pending on evos) 3. Pikipek or Oricorio ghost 4. Salandit (pending on evos) 5. Rockruff (pending on evos) 6. No idea yet :( |

Sweet Pokemon!
With pokemon sun and moon incoming, I've decided to make a sweet pokemon team. I've chosen a few pokemon, but I still need ideas for more. Please help.
I've made a criteria for choosing them. Must be sweet. Must be final evolution stage. (Sorry Cherubi.)
|
I agree with the above.
Plus, we don't know for sure which older Pokemon will be in the Alola Dex so unless if you're wanting to trade, you may not be able to catch some of these Pokemon in Sun & Moon without transfer or trading. |
It's so hard to say right now - I base a lot of my teams on the final evolutions, and then I usually swap things out as I catch them through the games.
Not sure about my starter yet - definitely leaning towards Rowlet, but if Litten has a cool evo then I may go with him instead. Rockruff Cutiefly Salandit/Wimpod (Depending on evolution) Mimikyu Lurantis I also really like Minior and Jangmo-o, and if Pyukumuku evolves into something awesome I definitely want one. This is why I'm getting both games. Makes it a bit easier to love all the pokemon! :D I agree with the above, but you'll also probably want Bounsweet. It has sweet in it's name! |
Uhm, I plan to do this in S&M, and I'm willing to trade. i'm gonna add Bounsweet.
|
Thank you! :D

If I were to get this game, so far I would choose these. {:3}
Starter: Rowlet - Rowlet is cute, and I like the fact, that it can fly without sound Others: Alolan Raichu - Because Raichu <3 Mimikyu - This pokemon seems so cute and yet mysterious Oricorio Pom-Pom style - An awsome and cheery pokemon Alolan Vulpix - Want to raise Vulpix to Ninetails. Also they are gorgeus Smug Meo.. I mean Alolan Meowth - I love the attidute meowth has, and also it looks cool |
Quote:
Team 1: Popplio, Lurantis, Alola Ninetales, Alola Raichu, Lugarugan Team 2: Rowlet, Shirodesuna Really considering Jangmo-o, Salandit, Drampa, depending on the first two's evolutions. |
I have no idea of what my team will be like, but I need Alola Marowak. It's so cool.
