In Unova, you cannot count on your old favorites: until the end of the story, only the new Pokémon are available. Here are six tried-and-tested teams, built only with Pokémon you can find during the adventure, with where to catch them and what they bring.
Each team covers the toughest Gyms for its starter Pokémon, the League and N’s Castle. Evolution levels are listed to help you plan.
One shared principle: a Ground-type Pokémon (Excadrill or Krookodile) and a Pokémon that can use Ice moves make the end of the game much easier.
