Best Pokemon Sun & Moon In Game Team

[Mahir Hasin]

This is a really good ingame team in Pokemon Sun & Moon. I'm playing on Moon so make a few changes if needed. Instead of Lunala, you have Solgaleo. Replace Magnezone with Vikavolt. These Pokemon are caught relatively early in the game except for the Legendary. If you don't want to use a legendary, catch a Psychic or Ghost type Pokemon like Alakazam or Gengar. Bagon can be caught at Kala'e Bay after getting so take the opportunity to get a Pseudo Legendary. You can use whatever items you want but I recommend Primarina Z to use Oceanic Operetta as it has 195 base power and Salamence Mega Stone. These are varied typing, each Pokemon has dual types. All move types are covered except Bug unless you can teach Magnezone Signal Beam or get a Vikavolt. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks for taking the time to view this post.

Yep, probably here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sun-moon-in-game-tier-list.3587886/

That being said, Salamence can be SOS chained at the Bay, but frankly, Bagon is dead weight for quite a bit of the second island, not to mention most of the first. I'm unsure when it starts becoming useful but beyond the mythical chance of finding a Salamence early on, it's not particularly a great choice for an ingame team.

Additionally, why Crabominable? Crabrawler is kinda bad, and it doesn't evolve until the absolute end of the game (by the E4), which makes it iffy for an ingame team designed to go from start to finish. Even then, it's not 10/10 in the endgame; 2 of the Elite Four check it fairly easily, given its defenses aren't phenomenal and it's slow as heck, and it goes without saying ice sucks defensively.

Magnezone, Primarina, and Muk ARE great though, and plow through quite a lot of the game easily. Muk is high up, while Magnezone and Primarina are top tier within the ingame tier list.

Lunala, while suffering from coming in late like Crabrawler, is a bit overleveled and makes the rest of the game left absolute cake, so it does make a great ingame option.
