For those that are playing the games, what do you think your team of six is going to be for Pokemon Sword/Shield? Feel free to update your team as you play the game and make sure to keep your team in a spoiler for those that don?t want to be spoiled.

Personally, I?ve looked at the exclusives for Pokemon Sword and I think my team is going to be...

1. Cinderace
2. Eldegoss
3. Barraskewda
4. Sirfetch?d
5. Corviknight
6. Hydreigon

What about yours? :D

Oh right, and here?s some links for the Pokemon that are going to be available:

It's gonna be based off more what my sister and/or parents want to see. I'm planning to have it docked much of the time when playing through the story.

So far, Pikachu for sure.

Pokemon Shield btw.

I feel conflicted cuz I want sword but want
cursola
but I also don't know if I'll get these games or wait for the next set next year
the games seem really streamlined and team focused but I really liked how older games were less linear and there was tons of benefit to backtracking and all that

-Rainbow Ponyta
-White Corsola!

-Wooloo
-Hatterene

If I had to pick, my team would probably be:

Intelleon, Cursola, Flapple (or appleton), Weezing, cramorant, toxitricity, runerigus, Eiscue, Mr rime, darmanitan, dragapult...

DANG THERE ARE SO MANY I LIKE
maybe I will get this game, who knows

- - - Post Merge - - -

If anyone is getting shield and wants to trade version exclusives early on let me know! though I kinda want to shiny hunt in shield
ughhhhh it's never been so hard to pick a version
 
Cinderace, Corviknight, Thievul, Hatterenne, Dragapult, Appleton
Was gonna pick scorbunny from begining and it's fire evo is alright with me. It's a soccer player (or football as UK calls it) go figure lmao. Plus it's stats aren't so bad and hidden ability is dangerous depending on it's movepool. Carviknight looked cool from beggining, plus I usually go with early bird mon. The fox looks pretty cool. Hat mon looks awesome. Dragapult looks pretty cool as psuedo, and appletun for grass type coverage, also looks pretty cool in a way and has thick fat so massive bulk right there
 
I'm having too much fun theory crafting teams
honestly, that element of the game does make them better, it's less of a game game and more of a theory craft your team game
 
I think this is going to be my main team~ (Getting Shield btw)

- Grookey

- Wooloo

- Yamper

- Bounsweet (if not her, Eldegoss)

- Alcremie

- Appletun

Maaaaaybe Hatterene, Rapidash, Polteageist, or Indeedee~

:3​
 
Getting Shield today so I haven't started playing yet, but I'm planning on having only new Pok?mon in my team! I might use some Galarian forms as well.

I'm pretty much set on Rillaboom and Corviknight at the moment. Probably Coalossal as well, then maybe Dracovish, even though I prefer Arctovish from a purely aesthetic point of view. I'm loving Obstagoon and Galarian Rapidash as well. I think this would be a well-balanced team, but I like so many of the new 'mons I might just pick the ones that look better lol.
 
Right now I have Thwackey, Lombre, Bewear, Litwick, Corvisquire, and Snorunt

Not sure what I want my 6 to be, but definitely Ludicolo/Grapploct/Corviknight

My team would look like this at the moment:

- Scorbunny
- Corviknight
- Thievul
- Kamalm
- Frosmoth
- Grimmsnarl

Although I would also maybe pick Alcremie, Eiscue, Mr. Rime or Toxtricity.
 
Right now it?s Appletun, frosmoth, Coalossal, Galarian Rapidash, intellion, and Toxtricity. I just beat the champion so I?m going to work on breeding and shiny hatching pretty soon!
 
For now my plans are:

- Cinderace
- Boltund
- Hatterene
- Frosmoth
- Copperajah
- Drednaw

I just picked them based on my personal preference. Drednaw is the one I'm willing to let go of if I ever feel like my team is missing type(s) more important than water/rock, but for now that's super helpful and there's really no other Gen 8 Pok?mon I'd like to have in my team.

I finished the game a few days ago and I had Rillaboom, Corviknight, Obstagoon, Sandaconda, Galarian Rapidash and Dracovish in my final team! I decided to ditch Coalossal because I realized I hated its design lol.
 
Right now I have:

Galarian Ponyta
Sirfetch'd
Alcremie
Appletun
Poleteageist
Toxtricity (Might Switch out for Dragapult)

Not a very balanced team because I don't play competitively at all lol, I just choose based on who's design I like best.
 
My team ended up being

Bongo the Rillaboom
L.E.D Zaplin the Toxtricity
Rumple the Grimmsnarl
Gad the Orbeetle
Afro Luffy the Passimian
Microwave the Coprahjah

Also rotated:
Leeksalot the Sirfetched
Bo Sheep the Dubwool
Rosie the Hatterene
Abomination the Dracozolt
Barryskuda the Arrowskewda
Polargeist the Snorunt (was gonna use Froslass)
