Initial Team Building Ideas

[Nicolas721]

Fuecoco, nicknamed Arlo like the Alligator Boy, who also happens to be a singer!
Paldean Wooper, nicknamed Bolin or Toph
Farigiraf, name TBA
Celtitan, nicknamed Moby
Gimmighoul, nicknamed Monedix
Palafin, nicknamed Namor or Namora, Fridge Brilliance becuase it includes amor (Spanish for love), and yes, Namor comes from amor too in the MCU but there's no source that it's the same for the comic character, and I had that idea before watching the movie

• Sprigatito's Final Evo ♀ [Schala] - Name from a Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross character. It's an elaborate reference because the final evo reminded me of a specific Chrono Cross character, but I didn't like their name, so I came up with a similar character's name instead.
  
  
• Corviknight ♂ [Caius] - A name taken from Final Fantasy XIII-2. I'm using this Pokemon because I skipped SwSh and it's one of the few Pokemon from those games I actually like.
  
  
• Pawmi [No nickname yet] OR
• Spoiler

  Glimmora [Ea] - Reference to FF14.
  
  
• A previous Gen Pokemon - Haven't decided yet. We'll see what comes to mind as I play.

Note: I've recently started using only four Pokemon in playthroughs in attempts to make the difficulty a bit less boring and also because I end up relying on four really good ones anyway and two always get neglected anyway.

I just catch whatever catches my eye.

I also named my tutorial lechonk Deliverance.

 

[Crisbee Donut]

I'm really thinking this through.

Now adding potentally Tinkaton, Kilowattrel because of bad Pawmi evo, Vivillon, and Floatzel.

Replacing Vivillon with Lokix.

It's so funny that before the games came out, I only knew of two Pokemon I really wanted, so seeing my team develop as I discovered the new Pokemon was really fun.

My final team ended up being Quaquaval, Pawmot, Armarouge, Grafaiai, Maushold, and Tinkaton. Quaxly and Pawmi were set from day one (or technically whatever day the trailer revealing Pawmi was) and I'm so happy I made that decision. I adore Quaquaval and Pawmot so much. After I learned of the exisitence of the Tandemaus and Tinkatink lines I knew I had to have them for my team. It seems indeed that they were saving the cutiepies for us to discover on our own and I LOVE these two!

I was able to check of 2/3 of my desired team boxes: the version exclusive and rare Tera typed Pokemon. I ended up using Armarouge as my version exclusive Pokemon since there really weren't too many to pick from and I liked Armarouge a lot. To my utter shock, I was able to catch a new Pokemon with rare Tera type, but to my disappointment, it was a Pokemon I didn't care too much for. Shroodle is a cutiepie, but Grafaiai is......................something. I mean, I guess I like it a bit more than I used to after using it so whatever. I found a Shroolde with a Fairy-tera type pretty early on and decided to keep him on the team and he really came through for us by being a secret dragon slayer.

I didn't end up using a Paldean form on my main team on account of the fact that there were only 4 and 3 were Tauros, so yeah. But in my Youtube Let's Play I did end up using a Clodsire that I didn't even plan on, so I guess it got covered either way.
