Now that everything's out, I did some number crunching and tried to balance out my team as best I can. Here's what I think I'm going with:

Primarina (Water/Fairy)
Alolan Raichu (Electric/Psychic)
Tsareena (Grass)
Salazzle (Poison/Fire)
Alolan Sandslash (Ice/Steel)
Kommo-o (Dragon/Fighting)

I really wanted to use Lycanroc Midnight, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with this squad. :)

EDIT: Swapped out one team member because I didn't realize I had a huge, uncovered weakness to Ground lol.

Okay, I know this forum is kinda dangerous for the next 10 days. (15 if you're in Europe, I guess.) but I need to say this.

My team has not changed in light of the new spoilers. I've used lower end 'mons before, and nothing will stop me from using Pokémon that I like.

Deci - Decidueye. (Grass/Ghost)
Volt - Vikavolt. (Bug/Electric)
Roc - Lycanroc | Midday. (Rock)
Salan - Salazzle. (Fire/Poison)
Pod - Glisopod. (Bug/Water)
Mo-o - Kommo-o. (Dragon/Fighting)

By the way. One day, after Gen 7 meets it's time, I'll replay through Sun with my A team, but I'll name everyone after Danny Phantom characters. They all fit so well.

Thus far, my planned team is: Beltigre, Mimikyu, Alola Raichu, Ash-Greninja, Lycanroc, and Lurantis.

I was thinking of using Mimikyu at one point, but I changed my mind cuz Mimikyu didn't seem that strong, plus apparently it doesn't even have an evolved form. And I'm leaning on using Ash-Greninja too on Moon since I can't think of any better water type to use.

Final update since the leaks:

Primarina
Ribombee (quiver dance hello!)
Tsareena
Ninetails alola
Salandit
Persian alola (3x nasty plot sweepers... the game will be too easy)

Or I may just buy both games, and do a alola team on one, and a kalos team on the other.

Similarly to Gen V, I haven't been able to put together a team I like consisting exclusively of new pokemon. That said, I think I've finally settled on something balanced and interesting that gives me the opportunity to use some classics I've neglected in the past.

Main team:
Incineroar - Fire/Dark (bulky phys sweeper)
Palossand - Ground/Ghost (phys wall)
Magnezone - Electric/Steel (bulky spec sweeper)
Starmie - Water/Psychic (speedy spec sweeper)
Ninetails - Ice/Fairy (aurora veil/dual screens)
Kommo-o - Dragon/Fighting (bulky phys sweeper)

Reserves:
Lycanroc - Rock (speedy phys sweeper)
Braviary - Normal/Flying (phys sweeper)
Parasect - Grass/Bug (pokemon catcher)
[/spoil]

Moon
[spoil]
Decidueye - Grass/Ghost
Vikavolt - Bug/Electric
Toxapex - Water/Poison
Oranguru - Normal/Psychic
Drampa - Normal/Dragon

So for now my final team for Sun looks like:

Incineroar
Pikipek line
Vikavolt
Crawbrawler line
Mudsdale
Alolan Exeggutor

I decided on alolan exeggutor because mostly every other new Pokemon/alolan form had types that overlapped or didn't interest me. I still might change it but for now this is it.

Bad news, just saw crabrawlers stats, they are bad. way worse than even Vikavolt or bubble spider2. i can still use it for in game play but for battles or battle spot, no way. there goes another cool new pokemon.

Wishiwashi
Wimpod2
Bubble spider2
Talonflame
Minnior

Alternates
Carracosta
Torkoal
Chargabug

In game only
Fomantis

I can't really decide on a 5th or 6th Pokemon, even after the entire dex has been leaked.

My core 4 have always been Popplio, Rockruff, Fomantis, and Vulpix. The last 2 might be wildcards. If possible, I will try to use only brand new Pokemon or Alola Forms.

Now that we've got the typings and version exclusives, I made some tweaks to my teams.

I'm still sticking with the "Island Teams" for Trials and Kahuna Battles, meaning the team I use for those activities must consist of Pokemon whose species can be caught on the Island itself. The specific Pokemon doesn't have to be caught on the Island itself though, since some Pokemon appear on more than 1 Island (makes it easier to train up), although the same Pokemon can't be on 2 Island Teams. Outside of that though, I'm just sticking with a "Plot Team" for the main story (which goes on until I defeat the Champion).

I'm lazy to list all the teams down here (I planned the "Plot Team" during/after each Island as well), but the final team looks like:
Incineroar
Lycanroc Midday
Gliscopod
Mimikyu
Alolan Exeggutor
Solgaleo

I'm not sure if Solgaleo is available before the Champion fight, but I might have either Alolan Raichu or Alolan Dugtrio to cover for it if it isn't, mainly for type coverage.

I wouldn't go that far since water/bug has good defenses but no offense. I mean yeah it's not going to be good competitively but ingame Crawbrawler's line will wreck house.
