I've just beaten Kahuna Hala and my team so far consists of Tigre the Torracat and Dorito the event Rockruff.
Mine Currently: In-CENA-roar the Torracat PeekoNikoNii the Pelipper Cha the InGameTrade Hawlucha PinkHair : ( the Sylveon Da Lord Jr. the Dunsparce Edgeworth the Dusk Lycanroc
I'm still progressing through US and I'm about to meet Lillie at the library in Malie City. Team: Cha the Hawlucha (trade) Lvl. 40 Richie the Primarina Lvl. 36 Dimitri the Dusk Lycanroc Lvl. 35 Amy the Ampharos Lvl. 33 Beverly the Lurantis Lvl. 35 Sol the Combusken Lvl. 20 I think I need to switch someone out since I don't have a definite strength against Fairy type Pokémon. I'll also be starting Pokémon UM and might go with Litten but I don't quite like Incineroar and I'm planning to get a Vullaby and a Zorua which makes the teams biggest weakness being Fairy type Pokémon... It's something to really ponder.
I just beat Trainer School.. Leonidas- Litten Poprox- Event Rockruff Muni- Alolan Meowth Shadow - Zorua heh, so far it's almost a full mono dark team, although Poprox and Muni are currently back up as I personally don't want to use them in my team. I plan to obtain a Cutiefly and a Electrike for sure, though.
I've already got my team planned out and have some already. On hand: - Lv.32 Dartrix M (Ark) - Lv.30 Lopunny F (opal) In poke pelag/PC (until get certain evo item or trained): - Lv. 10 Rockruff M (Dax, event, in PC until unloke pokepelago) - Lv. 18 Magikarp F (Gyra, pelago train) Future team members (hopefully): - Trapinch->Vibrava->Flygon - alolan Vulpix->alolan Ninetales - Elekid->Electabuzz->Electavire - Eevee/shiny eevee->Umbreon/Shiny umbreon (cause my mascot) - Giratina (lol #1 fav legend ;p ) I have most moves planned out for them and I plan to add more Pokémon to my roster and I'll also take some suggestions from other people. Currently at fire trial but didn't start until i trained my magikarp to Gyrados.
Steadily making headway through Vast Poni Canyon with the following: Aspen the Decidueye. ♀ Lvl 52 Leonidas the Tyrantrum. ♂ Lvl 45 Gilligan the Golisopod. ♂ Lvl 49 Donnie the Arcanine. ♂ Lvl 38 (Tbh he's falling a bit behind and I might replace him...) Lilo the Surfing Raichu from beating Mantine! . ♀ Lvl 43 Alpha the Bisharp. ♀ Lvl 52 I plan to use Naganadel on my final team, as well as Blacephalon.
Beat Hala and arrived to the next island. My team is now Leonidas- Torracat Shadow- Zoura Slytherin- Ekans Azalea- Cutiefly Remi- Noibat Poprox- Event Rockruff
I'm currently at what I believe is the final trial? I might be wrong though. Pikachu Unova Cap Tsareena Incineroar Ninetales-A Kommo-o Bruxish (I wasn't expecting to use it, but I just felt like it, I like it, lol.)
My team so far: We just finished battling Sina near the Tide Song Hotel. I'm getting ready for my next trial omo
Here's my party when I finished the game (both E4 and ERR), used only Pokémon that I never used in any playtrough (expect Incineroar). Incineroar: As usual a really good starter and helped a lot (specially agains't Ultra Necrozma) Lycanroc Dusk: Already used both forms in previous games, and this time it wasn't different. One of the MVPs of the party Golduck: The first surprise in my party, didn't planned this at all. Caught it early when was a Psyduck and actually helped me a lot in the trials, specially agains't the Water because I didn't have Tsareena yet. Parasect: Was struggling to find a Pokémon with False Swipe, and after some tests I was surprised (again) with a Pokémon I never used. The combination of False Swipe, Spore and Stun Spore made capturing an easy task. Tsareena: Was planning using it since my first playtrough on Sun but never had the chance. Fortunatelly it lived up the my initial hype and saved me a lot with Trop Kick. Quagsire: Used Zoroark until I got to ride at Ultra Wormhole and when I caught my first shiny I swaped it out. It's a bit passive but Zoroark wasn't doing anything that other members wouldn't. I had a really hard time agains't Lysandre (lost once) and Giovanni (lots of revives and potions), but can't say that I didn't enjoyed it! Loved that party! Filled with Pokémon that I like and use, but I just can't play without a starter. How's that turned out? I used Alolan Ninetales in my first playtrough in Sun, was one of the best. Recently caught a shiny Floatzel in Ultra Wormhole.
I'm right outside the League waiting for my sister to catch up so we can do it Together, my Team is: Adagio Female Primarina Took me a few tries to get this Beauty Hector Male Garchomp (Shiny) The Shiny Gible from the Black Tower in Black 2, His Dragon Claw and Bulldoze have been very helpful Kahi Female Dusk Lycanroc Her Thunder Fang has been useful many a time Daphne Female Tsareena Went with Lurantis in Moon, time for Tsareena in Ultra Moon Angel Female Scrafty Replaced my Toxicroak, Icarius, dont regret it Yukiko Female Alolan Sandslash Went Surfing just to Teach her Ice Punch
I beat the E4 with little trouble and now they are all level 80+, my cuties. And I technically had a starter in Meganium :p My alolatales knows Freezedry and Moonblast so as a Vulpix on the first few islands she was amazing, the Furret was really strong and saved my butt so many times. Floatzel helped out a lot, even if I had to Move tutor him Aqua tail, worth it. Togekiss was really good against Ultra Necrozma, pretty bulky. Arcanine just rocked overal, good solid fire type as always. Meganium was a bit poorer until I got Giga Drain on her, but now she is a good tanky.
This is possibly my best/most favorite in any game so far (apart from my Sapphire locke) They all had their moments to shine, and when they took on the Elite 4, they were amazing. So: Aspen the Decidueye ♀ Gilligan the Golisopod ♂ Leonidas the Tyrantrum ♂ Lilo the Surfing Alola Raichu ♀ Alpha the Bisharp and Ultra Necrozma Slayer ♀ Ridley the Naganadel (AKA Alien Dragon Bee) While I would have loved to keep Loki, Abraham, and Donnie, in the end, their Natures really held them back sadly. (Loki was a Brave Zoroark and Donnie was a Calm Arcanine. Abraham was okay, but.... Alien Dragon Bee ) They still have a special place on the early team though, so they deserve a mention.
I haven't fully decided on who's going to stay on my team, but this is who I have on me at the moment: Torracat - Roger - I chose this guy because he was the only Alolan starter I hadn't used yet Smoochum - Janie - I don't know why, but I kind of like this Pokémon's line. I liked this Pokémon even more after she was able to take a Flame Burst from a salazzle and still beat it. Pikachu - George - I'm thinking of replacing him with a different electric type, since I already have a psychic-type on my team. Or maybe replacing him with a grass type. I'm not sure yet Crobat - Bree - My strongest Pokémon at the moment. I want to keep her because a freaking love the zubat line, but nothing's certain at the moment Mawile - Levia - I really want to keep her, but she's not going to be learning any good fairy-type or steel moves anytime soon, so she's less useful than I hoped Poliwag - Grumpy - Currently training her to be a poliwrath
I've now beaten the second Kahuna with my current team: Tigre the Torrocat, Male, level 33 Dorito the Dusk Lycanrock, Female, level 30 Ilia the Totem Gumshoos, Female, level 29 Helios the Espeon, Male, level 30 And I'm about to add a Tirtouga and either an Anorith or a Tyrunt to my team as well.
Okay, so I'm not far at all, literally at the trainer school about to fight the principal, but this is where I'm at now: - Rowlet: nicknamed Quincy, currently the backbone of my team. Named for Ishida from Bleach. Though I don't watch/read it any more, I do insist Ishida is perhaps the most bamf character in that series, a true blood knight. - Pichu: nicknamed Chugi, named for the Bushido tenet of loyalty. Which is really ironic, because I'm probably going to abandon her for a different electric type later. - Buneary: nicknamed Cookie, I have my reasons. Anyway, I don't think I've taken a Normal type all-the-way since my Exploud back on Sapphire, so she might be the first in a while. - Inkay: nicknamed Kassogtha for Cthulhu's sister. Mind-controlling squid monster? Yeah, that's a good name. I think we'll go far, since I love Contrary. - Wingull: nicknamed Obiyex, because I love pelicans and Pelipper is a disgrace to their kind! Anyway, she'll probably help me defeat the school principal and I'll never use her again. I'm thinking about filling a sixth spot with a withdrawal from my PokeBank, and the most likely (non-overleveled) candidates are Totodile, Froakie, Tepig, Zorua, Togepi, or Eevee. If someone wanted to donate me a Beldum, Riolu, or Phione, however, I wouldn't complain...
