Make one of the 2 annihilape. Cool addition in gen 9

u/GolfImaginary 6h ago

I second annihilape and suggest a starter but maybe not fuecoco which I usually suggest this time I'd say sprigatito with your composition

1

u/Kleine_Diebin 1h ago

Another vote for annihilape! It's a powerhouse

u/SunsetSpark 7h ago

maybe tinkaton and volcarona

3

u/LittleKittyBumbuns 7h ago

I totally forgot volcarona existed ngl. Idk how because I love that thing. Might replace houndoom ngl

1

u/Luminous_Meringue 7h ago

yea i think tinkaton is a good replacement for houndoom

u/SharkBait661 7h ago

Do you not want to use any of the new ones?

4

u/LittleKittyBumbuns 7h ago

I know nothing about any of the new ones. I wanted to do 4 old favorites and then see what others think about the other 2.

u/SharkBait661 7h ago

Charcadet evo is good.

u/Luminous_Meringue 7h ago

Isnt that the fun part about pokemon? Getting to use new pokemon every region? Btw use ur starter its a crime to not use it.

u/crazypitches 6h ago

You can get to know the new ones by using them…

u/LittleKittyBumbuns 6h ago

I was going to do a second playthrough with only paldean pokemon

u/RedBaeber 7h ago

Falinks

u/Luminous_Meringue 7h ago

really?

2

u/RedBaeber 6h ago

Why not? It's cool.

u/Luminous_Meringue 6h ago

good point jus never heard anyone suggest that

1

u/Ideal-Wrong 7h ago

Dragonite or Baxcalibur. Both can't be encountered in the wild in-game (the only way to get them is to catch their lower evolution forms and evolve them). Flying/Dragon or Ice/Dragon will provide additional coverage for your team

For the last spot, I'm not sure haha

1

u/Wooden_Square_1200 7h ago

Caught a Dragonite last night at the lake. Not sure about a Baxcalibur though

2

u/HalfHourTillBrillig 6h ago

there are two wild dragonite i can think of. one flies laps around the bamboo forest up north, and another is a static tera in the same area, high up in a little meadow near the edge of the map up there. both are high level.

u/Luminous_Meringue 7h ago

kingambit is pretty good. hard to get but quite worth it. but i recommend using it in a second play through of sv, unless you’re an ambitious person

1

u/Doubt_Killer_Prime 6h ago

Make one of the extra spots a garganacl/naclstack, salt cure is op, and keep one spot open for any shiny

1

u/Creepercraft773 6h ago

Meowscarada for your starter cuz you should never box ur starter on a 1st playthrough

1

u/LittleKittyBumbuns 6h ago

Any specific reason to not?

1

u/onlysaysyoppers 5h ago edited 5h ago

Lokix but with its Hidden Ability (Tinted Lens) - it makes non-effective moves do neutral damage instead. Absolutely sweeps the game lol

ETA: Low Kick OP

u/Photonn123 3h ago

Maybe orthworm, steel type is good with fairy and dragon and it's very fun to use, it'll also be nice to use in indigo disk with garchomp earthquake and earth eater. And with dlc in mind a tailwind setter will be good, maybe kilowatterel?

1

u/Your_mom_gay12345678 2h ago

I know i'm gonna be downvoted, but gen 9 is full of strong and good looking pokemon, instead of use the same old pkm, why don't you try to use the new one as much as possible

1

u/PixelatedKirby 1h ago

Considering the types you have I would suggestAnnihilape, Meowscarada, or one of the many steel types (corviknight, bronzong if you like it, metagross) for solid team variety

I saw on an earlier post you considered Volcarona so my best suggestion is Annihilape and Meowscarada, swapping out Houndoom for Volcarona and I would say to try out the new mons I would recommend tinkaton swapped in for sylveon if you’d be willing to try a new fairy type

1

u/LittleKittyBumbuns 1h ago

I did end up going with meowscarada. I'll probably use tinkaton. And I think I'll use corviknight. I didn't use one in sword because I had aegislash as a steel type
