How do you build your Single Player Pokémon team?

Type diversity for both Pokemon and moves. With a spread of offense and defense.

Catch any pokemon that looks cool.

Put only offensive moves on it and only of its own types. Never use TMs. Never use moves that don't deal damage.

There.

No repeating types in the team, only mons I've never used in a playthrough before, no sub 420 bst shitmons, no legendaries.

If I'm starting from scratch, I use Smogon's ranking system and look at the recommended sets for pokemon I want to use. Obviously the regular game isn't smogon and you do have to account for that, but it's still pretty helpful.

Build as diverse a team as possible using as many new pokemon as I can, not that it matters much because single battles lmoa.
I usually make sure to scout for water/flying types I like, but since surf/fly is no longer a thing I've just been using what I like.
My sun/moon team is currently decidueye/golisopod/lycanrock(day), I tried to use kommo-o but I hate how it plays, without super training its stats are all over the place for in-game.

In SM I tried to structure it like this, with attention to types:

*starter
*one from melemele island
*one from akala
*one from ula'ula
*one from poni
*free slot

I ended up with:
Incineroar
Toucanon (Melemele)
Ribombee (Melemele)
Mudsdale (Akala)
Wishiwashi (Akala)
Electabuzz (Ula'ula)

I wanted to get rid of Toucanon around the time it evolved, but it kept proving its worth over and over again so I simply couldn't. Not pictured in the above list are a few other pokemon I had on my team before this final six was crystalized.

By the time I got to Poni I wanted an Exeggutor, but I couldn't decide who to sideline.

it can be very effective, but in most cases, by the time you're set up you lost at least 1 pokemon. so you're just giving yourself a handicap imo

Generally try not to overlap on types unless I'm Nuzlocking. Used to be insane about no overlap and agonise over teams, but not anymore.

I pretty much always Nuzlocke these days. Often what I team isn't necessarily the best thing to use in a Nuzlocke, but something that seems fun and has a not terrible nature. Like I used Seaking one time because I was sick of using Gyarados in Silver.

Use a water, fighting, flying, electric, and ground type, fill in type coverage for their moves. Now with Sun and Moon I just fill in the sixth slot with whatever since I don't need an HM slave anymore. Also, try to use new pokemon, and I have a preference for fast sweepers.

I used to always try some kind of Fire-Water-Grass base, and also having a Flying type for Fly.

In Sun I tried catching whatever looked cool, since I didn't even knew all the new Pokémon. Ended up with a pretty unbalanced team (4 weak to Flying, basically no special attacker) but it was fun af. Toucannon was the most consistent mon, Decidueye coming right after it, Raichu and Crabominable being complete liabilities and Golisopod fucking me everytime with that ability.

most trainers have 1-2 pokemon, so it never really feels worth it to have a team for something like trick room or weather
or even spikes and stealth rock for that matter

Catch all the cool things and use them
Then after the game I find out the reason Golisopod was doing so little damage compared to my others was because it was almost a full 0IV spread except SpA, and the shiny Dewpider I just boxed has a near perfect spread except for Def.

Generally pokemon I like, (ex. Quagsire, Dhelmise) followed by pokemon I've never used before, (say, parasect or geodude) followed by interesting pokemon for type coverage, (fire/grass/water/electric/etc types) followed by whatever's strong that I like that's available (metagross, garchomp, etc).

In roughly that order. It does suck getting let down by pokemon you think look cool though. Looking at you, lurantis. Or going back to gen 1/2 and having to deal with shitty movepools.

In the last couple of gens I've had all dual-types with no repeats. With a story team I just like to get as much coverage as I can.

I don't generally use legendaries but I had my legit Emerald Deoxys in my Diamond team, in its Speed Forme.

In SS I had two starters, Meganium and Charizard, in my team. Also an Anger Point Tauros which was one of my favourite mons to use across all the Pokemon games I played. New appreciation for Normal types.

For SM I determined who I would use in advance

But at the same time I left some slots for unknown Pokémon I didn't know about

That didn't work as well because 1. the Leaks and 2. the Fucking encounter rates to find an unknown pokemon

I got extremely lucky about Dhelmise though, mother fucker popped out of nowhere and I had to have it and managed to get it

Last one's optional since it's usually hard to make work with the other rules in place, especially now that they're adding very few new Pokemon.

Quoted By:

first, I make sure I have STAB against every available type. Therefore I must have one Ground and one Fighting type, due to Electric and Normal only having one weakness. Then, I have Absol, because he's my favorite. Aside from HM slaves, Fly and Surf are required, so a flying type and water type are needed, leaving little other room for the final spot. Figuring out the fewest weaknesses gives me my full team.

I used to be really specific about not having any overlapping types and all had to be dual type, but with SM I found it was way more fun to play whatever I wanted. Ended up entirely weak to ground types, but it was worth it to play 'mons I never did before. Final team ended up being Magnezone (was my best), Incineroar, Lycanroc (night), Golduck, and whatever the other two were I wanted to try next.
