A Pokemon Sun & Moon Discussion Thread

i love just about every pokemon from sun and moon, but is gonna be on my team no matter what

I may have littered this thread with too much negativity. Sorry for that, but I am kinda upset with the Alolan forms not including any bug types like scyther (my favorite pokemon of all time). I also gotta give credit to the Ultra Beasts for being "different" and more story based than other mythical-level pokemon. From what I can tell, at least battling the Ultra Beasts in the story ought to be fun and challenging (they seem to glow like Totem Pokemon when you fight them in the context of the story).

Anyway, another question for everyone to answer; what will your team look like?

I've changed my mind about Decidueye, so this will probably be my team (unreleased pokemon not included);

Wimpod
Minior
Salandit
Tsareena
Ribombee
[Unreleased]

So yeah, some bug types. No starters for a nice change. Tsareena instead of Lurantis because of Tsareena's ability to block those annoying priority moves. Her design and name are also really neat (for those who don't know, Czar was a type of royalty before Russia became the Soviet Union). So yeah, that's basically my team. I omitted one because it isn't officially released yet.

Oh! No, no. It was just your opinions which is what was asked for. It's completely understandable why you don't like some features of the game. Though one feature that wasn't mentioned that I am actually really excited that the trainer customization is coming back!

I can definitely see that you'd like insects and arthropods just by looking at your ability names. Hehe.





My team would probably be...

Incineroar
Lycanroc (Day)
Salandit
Kommo-o
Mimikyu
Alolan Raichu


Depending on how late you can get some of those Pokemon will depend on how my team shapes up but that's part of a dream team I have. I really want Tsareena too. She's super fabulous and I love my grass types.

I can sort of agree with you for the most part on the Alolan forms. While personally I think they're super neat, I'm sorta angry because of my poor Alolan Muk. :( They had the chance to make a lava Muk ffs! I mean sure you could argue it would be too similar to something like Magcargo, but come on it would have been super cool. I'll still most likely use it though...

Anyways, here is my list of pokemon that I'm considering. I'm super picky with teams, so who knows if this will be anything like what I actually end up with lol.

Primarina(For sure)
Lurantis(For sure)
Alolan Execuutor(Unless not available early.)
Alolan Muk(Unless not avilable early)
Salandit
Tsareena
Bewear
Mimikyu
Gumshoos(Mah boy D-Trump)

I'm most likely forgetting some...but honestly who knows, I might end up not even using any of them lmao.

I'm not playing another pokemon until they go kingdom hearts/breath of the wild with the series.

This is my team: Team:

(Rowlett)Decidueye- Grass/Ghost ✅
(Mareanie)Toxapex - Poison/Water
(Cubone )Marowak - Fire/Ghost✅
(Jangmo-o)Kommo-o - Fighting/Dragon
(Vulpix)Ninetails - Ice/Fairy

2/5 found but I'm close to finding Mareanie. ( Aseroth/Xandros/Yugi )

Oooh! That seems like a pretty cool team! I can't wait to get the game myself which won't probably happen until around Christmas. ; v ; <3

I've been spoiling myself a whole ton and getting really hyped. I'm going to buy it as a Christmas present for Rima too so we can play together, haha.

So cool that we can pick our throwing poses and how the trainers are supposedly a lot smarter and unique now! I've been on reddit all day just reading.

I'm also very happy that I can get my bara mosquito in Sun AND the jellyfish. Even if I get them end game I'll be really happy. ; A ;

Pick our own throwing poses? What?

Anyway, here is my 3DS Friend Code: 4210 - 4764 - 4187

I have both Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. I named myself Neo Mortem on Pokemon Moon and Neo Vitae on Pokemon Sun.

Friend Code: 2853 - 0166 - 8573

Yeah! There are new battle style poses! Which is really cool except only some unlock when you hit certain milestones within the game.

LOL girlish style on the guy

Should I Use Gastly or Bounsweet as my last Pokémon on my team?

Yugi, you seem to like ghost types XD

Well, from the team I see - Ghastly

if your Toxepex has the ability "merciless" then all attacks against a poisoned pokemon will be critical hits. Since Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar are poison type, they could help poison an opponent in order to set up for Toxepex. Granted, Tsareena has a great ability to stop all priority moves but you already have a grass type (you also have ghost types and poison types, but hey) and Gengar is far faster.

Yeah luckily my Mareanie has Merciless.

supposedly there's only a 1% chance to fish for a Mareanie...lucky indeed XD

It too me an hour to fish for the Corastl, than it took another 5 minutes to just get it to call in help for the Mareanie. At this point I was jumping around my room in excitement for finding it finally and I proceed to use False Swipe to caught it

I'm thinking about using Rolwett and Raichu since I haven't used Pikachu since blue version, Mudsdale Golisopod, Salazzle and maybe Ninetales I want an Ice type. Anyways I got a lot of time to think about it not getting it till my birthday in Feb.
