Sun & Moon Pokémon Speculation Thread

[ShadowForce720]

so now that we have the episode titles for episodes 7&8 it seems like they are going to be this:

Episode 7: Ash catches Litten
Episode 8: Lillie and Alolan Vulpix focus and this is where Lillie will most likely get Alolan Vulpix and wouldn't be that surprised if the egg hatches in this episode.

So I think that episode 9 will be either Mallow, Kiawe, Kukui, or Samson Oak focus and if it's Samson Oak focus then it will probably be the episode where he gets Komala.

Ash doesn't have that many ground types? Donphan,Torterra, Gible, Gliscor, Krookodile, and palpitoad that's 6 pokemon which is a lot more then some of Ash's other types and out of the mons currently in Ash's party or at Oak's lab only flying water and grass have 7+ mons after Litten Fire will also be at 7.

6 is enough for a full team. If he gets Ground I recommend Sandygast. It'd give him a second Ghost Type. Possibly his first if he gets it before Rowlet evolves to Decidueye or if the owl doesn't evolve at all.

Based on episode 8 if the egg goes to both lillie and ash to be taken care of together do we still consider it a ash pokemon

makes you wonder if dual ownership of a pokemon is actually a thing lol. i think it's gonna go to lillie in the end though.

It's most probably going to be a Pokemon under Lillie's care.

I feel like Sophocles might get a Minior around the observatory place as he's a science guy and the observatory is significant to him.

I don't see why it should when it's going to be around every region anyway so while the Alola Team are really going to only have their main focus in the Alola region. So no, Ash's Alola's Team Ace should be a pokemon he catches in the Alola region which will probably be one of the 2 starters he gets. Plus it's not like Pikachu doesn't get enough love as it is already it doesn't need to be the ace in a regional team.

Oh please, Pikachu had almost double the amount of wins of almost all of his XY pokemon last season, he was hardly ignored.

I don't think Ash will catch Litten. I feel that its basis on a heel wrestler does not suit him and better suits someone of the rival archetype. I think that Kiawe or Gladion (if he shows up) will catch Litten.

Scraggy was a street punk, Krookodile was a desert punk/bandit, Greninja was a ninja, and even his Dark Type in waiting Crawdaunt is known as the Rogue/Ruffian Pokemon. Going by that I think a Heel Wrestler works just fine for Ash.

Pikachu does not need the ace title.While he was never the main star in any of the series he was always the secondary ace and got the most amount of focus in every series except DP.


Don't see why Pikachu has to have the role as the ace when the other new Pokemon who have spent less time on the show could use it more.

Pokemon I think could make the cut
Crabrawler ~ Too cliche for me, but every new crustacean has always joined the main group (Kingler, Corpish, Crustle)

Um, that Kalos crab didn't.
Ash has enough crabs anyways. I don't get the appeal of this one, it's evolution isn't great for the eyes and it honestly suits Hau more than Ash. I know the anime doesn't stick to character's teams fully, but I'd like them to at least keep the Crab and Alolan Raichu with him.

Clawizter was Sawyer's... but I actually forgot it's existence

Ash already had a main water type in Kalos though,Clauncher being pure water type wouldn't really have done much with Greninja there.Also Hau only had a Crabominable during the postgame,the eeveelution were more important than the Crab for Hau.

Also Ash does not have to evolve Crabrawler considering they can just keep it as an unevolved Pokemon like Corphish.

 

[esquilo09]

My prediction for Ash this saga: -

Pikachu
Decidueye
Incineroar
Crabominable
Lycanroc (Midday)
Kommo-o

Reserves: -
Mudsdale
Passimian
Oranguru
Salazzle
Golisopod
Toucannon

While I loved the Mudsdale idea, you forgot to add Grubbin.

I'm hoping Rowlet and Litten both reach their final stages, I hope they handle it kind of similar to Torterra and Infernape..except one doesn't lose all the time.

Unfortunately I doubt rowlet will ever evolve, it looks like it will be a goofy baby pokemon while litten will evolve into.....that thing. It was even in the concept art leak with ash.

There is absolutely no evidence that that Incineroar belongs to Ash.

 

[Chomper4]

What I see Ash will be having as his final team:

Pikachu
Decidueye
Incineroar
Passimian
Lycanroc (Midnight)
Kommo-o

 

[Golden_Latias]

do you guys think the z-move dances ash does in the ending theme is foreshadowing what pokemon he'll catch? he does fire, electric, ghost, and fighting.

Possible and a cool theory but everyone seems to think Ash is going to get Rockruff, and Rock's Z-Move dance is absent.

It could just mean Ash isn't getting Rockruff or (maybe) Rockruff won't use the Rock Z-Move but it's worth considering.
