Kiawe is probably using Charizard, one of his ride pokemon.Very much doubt ride pokemon will be used at all.
I don't think that they will be used. I don't think that they would just hand Ash a Garchomp when he has a Gible at Oak's Lab that he can evolve.Kaki's Lizardon is definitely being used. Why else would they give him a Z-Crystal that nobody but Lizardon can even use?
The other Ride Pokémon are up in the air, but... I mean we've seen the group commanding them in battle. And it would probably be the easiest way to give Satoshi a full team, while also giving the other characters at least three Pokémon of their own.
Ash is due for another catch since the league will have six on six. That also means a lot of catches for the other main characters.
What??? When was it confirmed that there will full 6 on 6 battles in the Alola League?
Given that a fair amount of information is already out on Pokemon Fan about the Alola League, it's pretty much obvious that the League is not too far away. And there is absolutely no way that all of Ash's classmates can catch a full team from here on before the League, especially the likes of Lana, Mallow, Lillie and Sophocles, who don't even have more than 2 Pokémon. How can basically the writers shoehorn 4 captures each for Lana, Lillie, Mallow and Sophocles, a.k.a. 4 x 4 = 16 captures, plus 3 more captures for Kiawe (since he has 3 Pokémon on hand as of now) before the League happens, when there is a very strong indication according to Pokemon Fan that that the League is gonna begin pretty soon?
There is pretty much almost no way as for how there could be any full 6 on 6 battles in the League, because several of the participants, who are confirmed to participate the League as of now, have basically no way of getting a full-team. It's more or less clear that this League is gonna be a lot different format wise from the other Leagues, because basically any Pokemon trainer can participate here without any criteria like having to clear the Grand Trials (like how in the previous Leagues, only trainers who have earned 8 badges from 8 Gyms could participate).

No, it obviously does matter, because narratively it hardly makes any sense for the participants to enter a League which has full battles at a certain point without having a full team. It would sound really stupid of the part of Lillie, Lana, Sophocles, Mallow and Kiawe to enter the Alola League without a full team if it does have full battles: because then they know very well that if they make it to the rounds which have full battles, they have no way of continuing further due to their lack of sufficient Pokemon. No matter how you look at it this sounds pretty ridiculous and hardly makes sense.It doesn't matter if Ash's classmates don't have full teams because let's be honest chances are they aren't going to make it to the final rounds, so they can easily just have it to where the full battles start in the top 8 or top 4 when the classmates will have already been knocked out. So no, there can actually be full battles.
Also any character that is not one of the classmates could easily get a full team as they can get captures off screen.

That's what the pokemon speculation thread is forLet's stop talking about that and talk about if Torracat or Meltan or will evolve before, during, or after the league if they evolve at all?
while I have my doubts about full battles being in, kukui could easily just say "all participants remaining have 6 pokemon, these last battles will ve full battles!"No, it obviously does matter, because narratively it hardly makes any sense for the participants to enter a League which has full battles at a certain point without having a full team.

Not in the League, but kind of called it tooIn the heat of the battle Kukui loses his mask and is revealed - Might still happen
Yeah, my initial predictions were horribly wrong lolReading these comments in retrospect is fun
