As players begin their journey through Paldea, they’ll need a team that can take on gyms, defeat early Titan Pokemon, and face off against Team Star. This recommended team provides a good mix of elemental types and can be customized to meet each player’s preferences:

• Starter (Fuecoco, Sprigatito, or Quaxly)
• Charcadet
• Paldean Wooper
• Rookidee
• Shinx
• Nacli or Magikarp

Including Magikarp in the team lineup earns experience as a party member, as it evolves into a useful Pokemon later on.

Mid Game: Evolving Your Team for Deeper Exploration

As players progress, they’ll encounter more Pokemon to catch and train. This recommended team can help push players into the late game and beyond:

• Starter (Floragato, Crocalor, Quaxwell)
• Armarouge or Ceruledge
• Corvisquire
• Gyarados or Naclstack
• Clodsire
• Annihilape

Players can keep their starter Pokemon and evolve Charcadet into their respective evolution. Gyarados and Annihilape serve as powerful attackers, while Clodsire, Naclstack, or Corviknight provide defense and high HP.

Late Game: Final Hurdles Before the Great Crater of Paldea’s Area Zero

As players approach the endgame, they’ll face the Elite Four and the Pokemon League Champion. To prepare for the final challenges, players should expand their battle team as follows:

• Starter (Meowscarada, Quaquaval, Skeledirge)
• Palafin (for its Hero Form)
• Arcanine
• Gholdengo (if Pokemon trainers have collected 999 Gimmighoul Coins)
• Tyranitar
• Baxcalibur

These team members rank among the best in either game, providing a solid foundation for players to clear the final hurdles and complete the story. Of course, trainers are free to mix and match Pokemon as they please.
