Would be nice, but Castform doesn't change with Sandstorm, and if it does, wouldn't it just also just as well become Rock/Fairy, or Steel/Fairy?
And if you say that it should get a Form with Sandstorm, then it should get a Form for Fog too, IMO.

But since Sandstorm isn't really Weather, I don't see it happening.

Not really, Sand in the pokemon games is usually associated with the Ground type. Trapinch and Hippodown as examples, as well as Sand Attack and Sand Tomb.
I've no idea why the Sandstorm attack itself is Rock-type though.

Rock/Fairy could potentially work, but Steel/Fairy would make no sense, since Sandstorms have nothing to do with Steel. (Steel types just resist it because they are made of metal and their skin isn't damaged by it)

Sandstorm is really weather, both in real life and in Pokemon games. Fog is rather uncommon and is basically just an environmental effect more than a weather condition, then again, I wouldn't mind if it WAS a Castform form, Flying/Fairy maybe? i can dream.

Sandstorm is a result of windforce blowing up sand. A weather condition is something that is caused by clouds.

In Pokemon, Sandstorm is a weather condition, whether technically it should be so or not.

In that case I still don't see GF coming up with a Rock type Castform, they should have done that in gen 3 along with the other weather conditions.

Is the poodle pokemon going to be the only new non-legendary with form changes that are not Mega-evolution?

Chespin, Squirtle, Pangoro, Ampharos (Mega), and Swirlix are my team so far.

Swirlix might go depending on its evolution, but I'm just happy I still have one spot left. Debating on Pyroar or Talonflame to be on my team, that all depends if Fly is essential/useful throughout the game.

I can do without a Fire-type though if it comes down to it. Didn't have one in White, and I survived :D

Well, Rotom could get a new form, and that would be interesting too.

I do not know (and will probably not know until release) my playthrough team, but I have been planning my final team, and have been testing some of them in gen V.
As for your team, I like it. I would say for in-game, go Talonflame, seeing as you might need a flyer.

Talking about weather conditions, the ones I really want are Wind-related one that increases the accuracy of flying type and the wind moves, decreases the speed of all non-flying type pokemon. Acid Rain, like a poisont type hail and an electric type lightning storm

Maybe a normal/ground bunnelby evo

Hum, I actually want that too, albeit instead lowering the evasiveness of Flying Types and light Pokémon, due to strong winds blowing them away, while Wnd based Moves are heightened, and Gust, Hurricane, and similar Attacks will always hit.


But, everyone's Teams are looking so much more balanced than mine :p
Fennekin, Torchic, Fletchling, Pangoro, Amaura, something else.
3 Fire Types. And it's my second least favorite Type (after Fighting. Fighting is ughness.)

Everything stays.
So far, I'm taking in my team the only Pokémon I totally LOVE in all the possible ways, because there are more Pokémon that weren't revealed and I don't want to make a full team of 6 when more than half of the new Pokémon are still hidden.
My team actually consists of Chespin, Fletchling and Tyrunt, which is kinda a good balance, if you ask me. Grass, Fire, Flying, Rock and Dragon, without any repeats! For those that are curious, I found Tyrunt's resistances and weaknesses.
- Tyrunt is weak against Steel, Ground, Fighting, Dragon, Ice and Fairy.
- Tyrunt resists Normal, Fire, Flying, Poison and Electric.
- Tyrunt is normally affected by Bug, Ghost, Rock, Water, Grass, Dark and Psychic.
