All right, post your bros from your USUM playthrough.

Never expected much out of Furfrou when I caught him early but he was an absolute champ and got me out of so many jams. Who knew that STAB Headbutt is all you need?

I also found out about Furfrou's usefulness, but Murkrow was another shocker. That thing took down anything. If/when we get a DP remake, Honchkrow is going on my team for sure.

Murkrow is really good for early game. Never have taken the opportunity to use it though.

Furfrou's Baby Doll Eyes takes its fantastic Ability to another level against physical attackers. Good fucking luck doing anything.

Doing an US nuzlocke, Furfrou is amazing. Caught one early and is great to switch in to heal up someone close to death.

I don't do Nuzlockes but I can see why it would be excellent in that kind of game just for general survivability.

inkay was a total beast for me. swagger and foulplay all but oneshot totem gumshoos, and confusion finished it off

I've also got Inkay on the team. Foul Play is insanely good for that early in the game. Oh, and Contrary hilarity.

However now it's at Level 28 and I'm ready for it to evolve because its lack of defense is starting to hurt.

I've felt like this with almost every Pokémon I've used this playthrough once they were about 5 levels from evolving. Zorua, Smoochum, Cutiefly, Drifloon, and even Steenee to some extent. I struggled with Mallows trial cause all I had were baby mons.

Tell me about it. I really struggled against Kiawe because 2 of my mons were fire weak and the only thing I had with an advantage is a Staryu that just joined the team.

I also have Charjabug and Noibat on this team so I am really making it difficult for myself. No wonder Furfrou has to carry the load.

I found a shiny Furfrou early on in my US game and used him through the league. Didn't expect him to be so useful either.

Same anon here just finished Olivia/Plumeria, almost got swept by both.
Team is super weak to flying, so Golbat shut me down. Then the entire team is weak to the combo of bug/rock, so Anorith smashed me. I might just grind the team up to 30 cause I'm getting bodied.

I never used Alola Muk during Sun, but I'm using it now in Ultra Moon and it's very good. It's probably better in USUM because you have less time towards the end of the Grimer stage where it begins to lag thanks to the higher level curve.

Top tier bro. Same goes for Ampharos, which ended up saving my ass a few times once it evolved. Had so much fun with my team this game

Pic related and Bewear/Jellicent. Strength Sap makes Bewear unkillable and Spore/Effect Spore meant Hex was more viable than Ghost Ball

Furfrou is pretty busted ingame especially when you get Cotton Guard. Since Slowoha is so damn slow, Furfrou outspeeds most of the Pokemon. After a certain point, all physicall attackers became a non-threat with the combination of Charm+Cotton Guard (unless they got a lucky crit)

Used Alolan Muk in Sun. It was the only thing I had which could take a hit so it definitely came in handy.

>>34264297
My Inkay just evolved. Looking forward to Contrary Superpower.

>>34264322
I realized that other than Granbull I have used pretty much all the doggos in the game in a playthrough. What can I say, I have a dog of my own.

>>34264360
Sounds like the same idea that I use for Furfrou with Baby Doll Eyes. That and its ability makes it ridiculously tough.

>>34264365
A buddy of mine is using Hawlucha and it one-shot Lurantis with Flying Press. He is my favorite bro from when I played Y.

>>34264387
I may choose Cotton Guard since Furfrou is already pretty fast, but priority Baby Doll Eyes is fantastic for that purpose as well.

I had to use the nastiest tactics against Olivia to win. Baby Doll Eyes and Sand Attack until Lycanroc was completely neutered (heh, neutering a dog). So, Furfrou to the rescue again, as every other team member was crushed by it.

I have a Charjabug on my team and I gotta say he's pulling his weight for a NFE. Spark/Bug Bite/Acrobatics are getting the job done. It will be a while before I get the chance to evolve him though. Only just arrived at the third island.

I had to wittle down Anorith with basically my whole team. By the time I killed it, all I had left was Steenee. Then Lileep got the boost on its first ancient power, so I had to break down and use a rotom boost. Lycanroc just got btfo by the time I made it to it. Now that everything's evolved, Ribombee has been amazing. Pollenpuff fucks everything up before they can even move.

never used one in Sun/Moon but Ultra Sun he's great. Stamina for tanking most hits and High Horsepower for damage. not even to 3rd island yet so hope he survives.

I really wanted to use noibat all playthrough but I had to boot him from the team after mallow's trail since it had become such dead weight and was nowhere near evolving.

My real surprise was Alolan grimer/muk. I knew it was good, but didn't realize just how good. He was the only reason I beat Necrozma.

Malamar saved my butt so many times ingame.

Every time some totem/cosmic superbeing/setup sweeper gets way too many stat boosts for comfort, here comes that Topdy-Turvy.

The best case though was against Totem Ribombee. It managed to get off five Quiver Dances and was nigh unstoppable, outspeeding and OHKOing everything on my team. That is, until Malamar tanked the first hit thanks to rainbow bean power and suddenly made that Ribombee turn into a piece of wet paper with a paperweight on it.
