Pokémon: Party Maker

Salazzle is a good option, thats if she has a good Special Attack. You have access to Toxic, Flame Thrower, Sludge Bomb, and Nasty Plot, which was my main move set.

If you need a great Physical Attacker, you can get a Hawlucha before the first trial by trading a Spearow to a lass in the pokemon center in from of the cave.

And then there is Goodra, which can be found as a Goomy in Lush Jungle while it's raining as an SOS Encounter.

And Finally, for a good option, you can get a Tyranitar in Digletts Cave as a Larvitar.

These are all Island 1 and 2 mons, and pretty powerful

I meant to post this earlier, but my mom's been pretty sick, so I've had to escort her to doctors. Plus, her cataracts are getting bad, which means surgery is around the corner, which only fills her with dread.

Anyway, while I appreciate the ideas (I faved it because you were being helpful), I've come to notice a fair few glaring holes in this suggestion. There are a lot of shared weaknesses among this group. 3 weak to Water (Lycanroc, Salazzle, Tyranitar), 3 weak to Fairy (Hawlucha, Goodra, Tyranitar), 3 weak to Ice (Decidueye, Hawlucha, Goodra), and 3 weak to Ground (Lycanroc, Salazzle, Tyranitar). That's a lot of shared weaknesses. While Hawlucha and Salazzle are very good options (since a lot of Alola Mons are slower than a Metapod in molasses, plus both pack a hell of a punch), Goomy requires Rain + SOS to find, which is too time consuming (that and SOS battles are terrible to begin with, given it's almost like a roulette wheel), and it requires overworld Rain to evolve into Goodra. That's a few too many issues to be balanced and practical. So, while Hawlucha and Salazzle are options I'll use, Goodra and Tyranitar are a bit too impractical to properly execute without multiple shared issues among the rest of the team. Still, thanks for offering up some ideas, as Hawlucha and Salazzle are fine additions.
