I'm getting three copies. Two of moon and one of sun. I've already got my strategies on how to use each Pokemon I catch (depending on where I get them and how early they are, I could go a while without catching a Pokemon until I get my preferred one).
I don't know all the game's details yet - but I waited until I knew a decent amount. So here's my planned team for now, which may change until further notice.
Sun:
Rowlet
Ash Greninja
Grubbin/Vikavolt
Pikachu
Rockruff/Lycaroc Midday Form
Palossand
Moon 1:
Litten
Munchlax/Snorlax
Alolan Rattata
Pikipek (Gotta have a flying type)
Bounsweet (if available early on, probably)
Togedemaru
Moon 2:
Poplio
Rockruff/Lycaroc Night Form
Pikipek
Fomantis
Mudbray
Crabrawler
For Sun, I plan on using Rowlet as a half-and-half sort of attacker. Half-grass half flying. I plan on keeping Aerial Ace on my Greninja just in case, but I know I could probably teach something similar to Rowlet (or whatever new moves it learns) when it levels up. I don't plan on keeping any moves like Tackle or Quick Attack (if it learns that). Just two good flying moves and two good grass-moves.
For Greninja, I want it as a mixed-attacker. One water move - Preferably Scald - I want to get Ice Beam cause I know I'll be dealing with Dragon Types later. I don't know if I want to keep Night Slash or not - I probably will. And Aerial Ace - just in case i need it. You never know when it'll be useful, and I may replace it with something else later on, but who knows right now.
Vikavolt - to be mainly used as my bug type to deal with Grass Types. I know I have my flying moves set on Rowlet and Greninja (Greninja's Aerial Ace) but I will have one electric-based move on Vikavolt. I don't think it'll be as good as Pikachu when it comes to electric attacks, but we'll see. I may catch more than one and re-train it to see how well it does? I don't really know. But Vikavolt will be on my team.
Pikachu - when in a tight spot and I can't really use Vikavolt's electric move, I'll switch out and use Pikachu. Based on my past uses with Pikachu/Raichu and how I've used Pikachu's Z Move in the demo (which was awesome by the way) I'll probably use that to get out of sticky sistuations when Vikavolt can't take hits, and Pikachu will take hits for others. Only when it's gotten to a higher level and gained more HP. My Raichu in Y doesn't have a great tone of HP but it is strong, and if I train Pikachu right I'm sure it'll be fine.
Rockruff - A rock type that can deal with flying types if I'm out of luck for some reason with Pikachu or Vikavolt. It can also deal with Fire Types that Rowlet can't, if I need backup for Greninja. And of course, and of course the obvious Bug and Ice (like Alolan Vulpix for instance) - and the other handful of bug types there probably will be in the game. I mean, it's Hawaii! An island, don't you think there will be bug types on an Island?
Palossand - I really didn't realize how good this Pokemon will come in handy till I looked up what Ground can really do. Ground can effect electric (Pikachu, Tapu Koko, Togedemaru, other electric types that will be in Alola). Fire, Poison (Salandite, Zubats, Koffings, which are some of the Pokemon Team Skull seam to carry around all the time), Steel (again Togedemaru, Alolan Sandshrew though it's dual type ice/steel it could still do some damage), and finally, Rock. Think of all those damn Geodudes you'll be encountering in caves - and you'll need a way to defeat them! Palossand will come in handy.
I expect this Pokemon to have a lot of HP, and to be really slow. IV/EV training can easily speed it up. It can take hits, but it won't be a fast-hitter.
For my first copy of Moon, with Litten I'll have my first Fire Type. Which is if you -SPOILERS- have read the data-mined leaks then you'll know it evolves into a beefy bipedal fighting-type. I don't know how fast this is going to be, or if it can take hits or not, or whatever, but hopefully Litten's final evolution will be faster than the others. I hope to make it a mixed attacker like Greninja. Half fire, half fighting and maybe a little bit of normal or something else. Dark? Maybe if it learns Dark. Depending. We'll see. I think it'll learn dark moves, something like Night Slash. Or a ghost move like Shadow Claw, probably.
For Munchlax/Snorlax will be my tank. The one that can take hits. My second beefcake. Though it's a normal type, this will be the one that I'll switch out when the going gets though. I'm defiantly keeping moves like Headbutt on here (so it can hit without recoil I know Takedown is pretty popular with Pokemon like Snorlax cause it does more damage but I don't want to risk the damage)
Alolan Rattata - Dark Type. Dealing with Ghost/Psychic type Pokemon if i encounter any, I'll be a half-and-half attacker. Knowing two dark type moves and two normal types. I hope to teach it Hyper Fang at some point. I know that's a good move Rattata/Raticate can know.
Pikipek - My main flying type for this game. I don't know what moves it knows, but when i know I'll update this. Maybe.
Bounsweet - My planned grass type for this game. I don't know what it's moves or stats are. But hopefully I can catch one early on.
Togedemaru - My electric type. Again I don't know the stats or the movesets so it's subject to change.
Moon 2
Similar to Sun's team, i have my water type with Poplio, my Rock and Ground Types (Rockruff and Mudbray), my flying type - Pikipek. My grass type Fomantis. My only thing different about this team is i have a pure fighting type that I'm going to keep a pure fighting type which is Crawbrawler. Hopefully I can teach Poplio something like Ice Beam like I will Greninja so it'll deal with Dragon Types later on.
