>>54201047Honestly I’d consider your team first. If you’re only using new Pokémon your options for each are:
Grass
>Meowscarada (Dark, physical) >Arbolivia (Normal, special)>Scovillain (Fire, mixed)>Toedscruel (Ground, mixed)>Brambleghast (Ghost, physical) Fire
>Skeledirge (Ghost, mixed) >Armarouge (Psychic, special, Scarlet)>Ceruledge (Ghost, physical, Violet)>Pyro P-Tauros (Fighting, physical, Scarlet) >Scovillain (Grass, mixed) Water
>Wugtrio (Pure, Physical)>Dodonzo (Pure, physical, late game)>Tatsugiri (Dragon, special, late game) >Palafin (Pure, mixed*, need second player)>Aqua P-Tauros (Fighting, physical, Violet)>Veluza (Psychic, physical) Quaquaval and Skeledirge if you’re playing Violet have Pokémon that can replace them typing wise. Meowscarada has two Pokémon that can do this but both are post-game and Brute Bonnet is Scarlet exclusive. Quaquaval lets you do sick type compression without overlap with Scovillain, but as you said you don’t like it. Water is probably the roughest starter type in Paldea to cover though, but at least some Pokémon like Cetitan and Flamigo get coverage for it. Skeledirge is fun because you can just spam Torch Song to boost Special attack and it’s probably the best for a long while due to how rare Tauroast is and how Magikarpy Charcadet is, but Meowscarada is just a pure fast fucking killing machine with Flower Trick and gets great coverage to help it through Paldea. It also gets U-Turn by level which is fucking busted in campaign especially if you’re not letting the game bully you into switch mode.
