Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Bit of a bummer that Stellar tera doesn't work with adaptability, I was hoping to have a bunch of nukes in my pocket but apparently gamefreak is too scared for porygon-z's potential to let it happen.
Unfortunately, any sets using Competitive are unlikely to thrive with direct competition from Empoleon, so I really can't see this existing in any tiers that Empoleon is usable in unless you're aiming to abuse Scald.
Primarina: I've always liked the water starters and Primarina blows holes in just about everything.
Salazzle: Mainly because I wanted Salandit since I saw it, also she probably the only speedy thing in Alola not named Pheromosa.
Alolan Ninetales: Needing to trade one over from Sun will be a bit...
I'm pretty damn happy that the starter evos were confirmed, because I quite like all of the final forms. I've already scoped out my moon team, but all I know for certain on my Sun team is Wimpod's evolution.
I'll put my thoughts on Water Compaction here. I will admit that the lack of a water immunity is disappointing, but Pallosand may make up for it in stats. I can imagine it having a def stat that, while decent enough that it could be tough to take down with a boost, is not ideal for something...
