Team?
 
I know it's too early to be talking teams for the game since Pokémon are not yet announced.


But, I'm sure you have Pokémon in your mind you are excited to try out especially during this game. So who are those Pokémon?


I've been honestly wanting to try Toucannon and A-Sandslash so I hope I get to use it during this games.

L'Belle June 6th, 2017 10:40 PM

I haven't used Toucannon or Mudsdale, and I would like to try them out.

Frozocrone June 6th, 2017 10:43 PM

Decidueye
Incineroar
Primarina
Necrozma leo
Necrozma ala
Tapu Koko

yep

wow you've never tried using the starters? Try Incineroar, he's awesome.

Flowerchild June 6th, 2017 11:11 PM

might try going without a starter at all this time. I had both Decidueye and Primarina for the majority of the main storyline and nabbed Incineroar after the E4, so maybe it's time to try something new.
besides that idk. waiting to hear if there are new alolan forms for me to build my team around.

Hikamaru June 6th, 2017 11:51 PM

Primarina is pretty much my Alola mascot, so it needs to be on the team. I do also plan to continue my tradition of a Grass/Fire/Water trio that the starter occupies one of the slots in. My other three slots will probably go to wildcards that can deliver good coverage, though I like to see the options before making my final choice.

blue June 7th, 2017 2:56 AM

I'm glad there were so many new Pokemon from Alola that I still to try (including Alolan forms), because this means I can now use the ones I haven't yet used in USM. Some that spring to mind are Dhelmise, Toxapex, Vikavolt, Shiinotic, A-Marowak, A-Muk. Hopefully, for the case of Vikavolt, final evolutions will be accessible much earlier in the game rather than on the very last island almost to the end of the game. That's what put me off using it in the first place tbh.

Sean Flame June 7th, 2017 3:44 AM

Ah! It has been ages since I did a solo run (last I remember, it was on crystal five years ago). Might try it this time with Decidueye.

FireSnow June 7th, 2017 5:51 AM

Litten and A-Vulpix I will for sure use, otherwise I'm not completely sure yet. I will continue only using new Pokemon for sure and I'll try to keep it to ones I havent used yet, maybe Dhelmise? Except for maybe Lycanroc midday, I love that wolf

moon June 7th, 2017 5:57 AM

I really have no idea. I never plan teams out when playing a pokémon game for the very first time, I just collect them as I go c: Surely Primarina though <3 And Lunala whenever i get my hands on it.

Eresse June 7th, 2017 6:33 AM

I'd love to give Decidueye and day!Lycanroc a chance. Maybe Drampa too.

FeraligatrMaster June 7th, 2017 7:16 AM

So far, the only Pokemon that's pretty much confirmed for my team is Incineroar. As for the other slots, they'll remain open for now.

EC June 7th, 2017 7:17 AM

Let's say, for whatever reason, the Pokedex selection is still the same.

Decidueye
Salamence
Marowak
Whiscash
Togedemaru
Sylveon

Rengoku June 7th, 2017 7:18 AM

I would use Primarina this time since I've had done with the other 2.
Since I don't use legendary (And Mythical) and since this is a sequel I would love to combine Pokemon from older generation in this time.
Probably trying out Alolan Marowak.

Count June 7th, 2017 7:50 AM

Can't say much as of now but I do know I'll use Primarina as my starter and I'll add Lycanroc midday form. To consider are Rimombee, Toucannon, Kommo-o, A-Raichu and A-Sandlash. That is unless there will be some awesome new Alola forms...

Kartanaheart June 7th, 2017 1:31 PM

This time, I'm hoping I can pull a B2W2 where I boxed my starter and replaced it with a level 5 Vaporeon, but this time with a level 5 Dhelmise I transfer. I'd get another Popplio, but it just wouldn't be as fun--no Primarina can replace my Wallace. (from the first pokemon moon.)

As for the rest of my team, it's practically going to be the same as the last game. Alola Exeggutor, Palossand, probably Wishiwashi, except this time I'm going to have Necrozma and also Shiinotic, which I felt like I missed out using last game.

RedJ June 7th, 2017 4:07 PM

I still haven't managed to beat Sun or Moon yet, but since I have them both physical and digital I may throw one of the Eeveelutions on each of my teams there and use the other four for US/UM. Beyond that, I'm not really sure. I'm not a fan of reusing Pokemon and these games already have a not especially great selection of Pokemon as it is.

jombii June 7th, 2017 5:25 PM

Oh, another Pokemon I missed on trying out is A-Marowak. Would love to see how it stands up to hype.

We don't know the updated regional Dex yet, but it is going to be expanded with previous-gen Pokemon that didn't appear in the original Alola Dex.

Sabrewulf238 June 7th, 2017 10:24 PM

Well I'm picking Primarina as I went with Decidueye before. I'm also seriously considering Mimikyu because it just missed out on my team the first time around. Though Dhelmise may be a better pick since there's no type overlap and I really want to use it.

After that it'll depend on what new (old) pokemon they add to the region.

pkmin3033 June 7th, 2017 11:34 PM

It'll depend on what is available in game, but since I have a 7th Gen Living Dex on Bank I might just use those. I had an all-birb team in Moon, so maybe I'll try something different this time around.

jombii June 8th, 2017 12:18 AM

Oh and since I'll be buying Moon, I get to use Drampa.

So my team, if pokedex doesn't change is now set to

Primarina
Toucannon
Drampa
A-Marowak
A-Sandslash

toucannon might change if I get to do my mono-flying type before USUM comes out.

AliceBlaze June 8th, 2017 1:03 AM

Nowadays, I use Pokemon I never used before. So far, I'm thinking Incineroar, Toucannon, Mimikyu and maybe a water type to make up for a lack of one in my Moon team.

Or maybe since the games are likely retellings of the original S/M, I might have a team of counterparts to my Moon team just for fun:
Moon team: Decidueye, Alolan Raichu, Lycanroc (Midnight form), Salazzle, Alolan Ninetales, Kommo-O

Possible US/UM team:
- Different starter.
- Either non-Alolan Raichu, another Alolan form that evolves from a Pokemon without an Alolan form (Exeggutor or Marowak) or one of the Pika clones. I'll probably go for one of the latter two since I've used Raichu too many times before.
- Lycanroc (Midday form).
- Not sure what a Salazzle counterpart could be.
- Alolan Sandslash or non-Alolan Ninetales.
- Either another Gen 7 dragon type such as Drampa or another dragon type that evolves twice such as Salamence.

How about Wishiwashi or Araquanid? You said you wanted to make up for the lack of a Water type.

YellowTemperance June 8th, 2017 7:39 AM

I'll use the same team I used in Sun: My starter, Litten, plus some lv. 1 Pokemon bred in Sun to start off. Mudkip, Chespin, Mawile, Munchlax, and Elekid. That seems to be my team going forward in all the games from now on, starting off.
