Yo, peeps! Lately, I've been noticing a lot of y'all newbies struggling with picking the right Pokémon for your starting team. Well, as someone who's got some mad experience in this game, I thought I'd do y'all a solid and lend a hand.
Ideally you want a balanced team with dps, tanks and control/healing, then try this:
Front line: Tyranitar | Mew | Aggron
Back Line: Gardevoir | Scizor | Ash Pikachu (receive for free using gift codes from discord)

Of course, here are other great S Pokemon you can use in your team if you don't have the ones above:
1) Mr. Mime - front line
2) Alakazam - back line
3) Suicune - works in the front and back
4) Magnezone - works in the front and back
5) Mew - works in the front and back (obtained for free by playing the game)
6) Metagross - front line
7) Gyarados - works in the front and back
8) Steelix - front line (P. ATK counter - self buffs P. DEF up to 180% in battle)
9) Cryogonal - front line
In early game, you can really play with whatever you like. However, there are limits to S Pokemon.
More often than not, all new S+ Pokemon at 4 stars are significantly stronger than S Pokemon. Keep your eyes out on S+ which are releasing. If you play your cards correctly, you can obtain a new S+ Pokemon every single month.
