Can't speak to the quality of the original Pokemon Sun, but I personally quite like Ultra Sun. I think it's due to a variety of factors, like better characters than most Pokemon games, the fun setting of Alola, great Pokemon designs, and finally getting rid of HMs. Admittedly, it might have the worst pacing of any Pokemon game, but I'd rather take this game's slowness instead of how barebones Pokemon Y was any day.
My team: Decidueye, Vikavolt, Mudsdale, Golisopod, Bewear, and Alolan Muk

My man, besides alolan muk I used those exact pokemon. Epic choices

1 year ago

Using a team of new mons introduced in that game's generation is the way to go. Alolan Muk for life.
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 Thanks! I had a really great time with this team, especially since I hadn't used any of them before. What did you use instead of Alolan Muk?
@thealexmott I've been playing a marathon of the main Pokemon games before Scarlet/Violet, and I wanted to have all of my teams with the Pokemon introduced in that gen (with some exceptions, like taking the Kanto starter in Y, and Black 2 introducing all those non-Unovan Pokemon.) I was pretty excited to do it with Ultra Sun, since I really like a lot of the Alolan Pokemon. Muk was awesome, especially against all of those fairy and ghost types!
Well your team was comprised of two teams I used, one for base s/m and one for usum. I know I used salazzle and kommo-o on my s/m playthrough, and incineroar and alolan raichu on my usum playthrough. So I guess I would count raichu since it's the only alolan form mon I used
All I know is, you used golisopod and vikavolt which are now in my top 3 bugs..golisopod being my favorite pokemon in general now so you are mega based
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 I used Incineroar on my first Ultra Sun playthrough, because of Smash Bros., but I decided to use Decidueye this time, since I think that evolution line's just really well done. I thought about using Salazzle for my Poison type this playthrough but went with Muk for the additional Dark typing. Bug types tend to be some of my favorites, and Vikavolt and Golisopod are two of my favorite Bugs. Golisopod, especially, is probably my favorite Gen 7 Pokemon!
I love you man 🥺
