Team Replacement Recommendation (Slight Spoilers!)

[arran867]

SLIGHT SPOILERS

 

 

So I've finished the main story of V12, and I'm just doing quests atm. I've been trying to find a good flying type for my main team for a while, and I was thinking about the Starly you get from Mosely (since I've heard Staraptor is awesome). Problem is, I don't know who on my team could be replaced with Starly. Some advice would be helpful, both on my current team and on who to replace.

 

Shiny Greninja - Protean (starter)

Mystic Water

Extrasensory, Night Slash, Surf, Water Shuriken

 

Sylveon - Pixilate (Nancy's)

Pixie Plate

Light Screen, Moonblast, Calm Mind, Hyper Voice

 

Chandelure - Flame Body

Flame Plate and Spell Tag (I switch between the two)

Heat Wave, Confuse Ray, Hex, Will-O-Wisp

 

Shiny Vikavolt - Levitate

Quick Claw

Crunch, Bug Bite, Signal Beam, Thunderbolt

 

Torterra - Shell Armor

Miracle Seed and Soft Sand (again, I switch)

Rock Climb, Leaf Storm, Earthquake, Giga Drain

 

Shiny Lucario - Steadfast (the one you get in GDC) 

Razor Claw and Metal Coat (switch)

Aura Sphere, Meteor Mash, Close Combat, Swords Dance

Well, you don't need to replace any of your team members. Reborn and Rejuvenation are built in a way that you have to use all the options available in order to diversify your team, and your chances of winning against the tougher battle. That's why it isn't out of the question to built a rotation team, not just stick to the same 6 team members. I, for exxpample, have like, 12 Pokémon in every playtrough of the game, just so I don't have to struggle against difficult battles. So yeah, add Staraptor to your team, but don't ditch the other team members. 

 

As for suggestions, you can optimize some movesets on these Pokémon:

 

Torterra

- Leaf Storm --> Wood Hammer

- Earthquake

- Giga Drain --> Curse

- Rock Climb
 

Lucario

- Meteor Mash

- Close Combat

- Swords Dance

- Aura Sphere --> Extreme Speed 

 

Vikavolt

- Signal Beam --> Energy Ball

- Thunderbolt

- Signal Beam --> Bug Buzz

- Bug Bite --> Thunder Wave/Roost

 

Chandelure

- Heat Wave

- Confuse Ray --> Shadow Ball

- Will-O-Wisp

- Hex --> Energy Ball/Memento/Overheat
