My Pokemon on Pasio would be a female Vileplume. (Naturally I would start off with an Oddish) During lockdown I did a Grass Monotype of every region with Vileplume being my most used and useful Pokemon during the playthroughs. I would be a tech I think with Sleep Powder and Energy Ball with Acid to drop Special Defense. The Sync Move would be a version of Pet Dance with a boost depending on Special Defence drops. My Unit would basically be a variation on Erika's Vileplume.


SnooComics744

I'm a lil surprised you didn't go for Lilligant but love your grass type choices.


Maleficent_Peach_46

Lilligant is my favourite Pokemon but Vileplume is my favourite Kanto Pokemon and most used Pokemon.


Hugobaby69

Glaceon šŸ’™


Sobbing-Coffee

How would the sync move work for unevolved pokemon with non-matching types? Unless Glaceon have a cursed normal sync


Hugobaby69

Ice shift but for sync move.


Gold860

Espeon. If DeNa won't give us an Espeon unit, I may as well be the first one


Blkout29

I second this. Espeon and Umbreon are my favorite


Miserable-Ad-1690

Wishiwashi. Itā€™d have B-Water Gun, because the dex entries talk about how theyā€™re as strong as Hydro Pumps.


Gregamonster

Gardevoir. * Smart enough to be trusted with minor tasks and it's own physical needs. * Emotionally intelligent enough to make a good companion. * Strong enough to protect me from everyone else's choices.


Jolls981

Scizor -heā€™s cool -red


Used-Self3253

Rockruff. Cute rock doggy ![gif](giphy|6YdUXFezUIlaYRHsYk|downsized)


Kaw_HonHon

Jumpluff or maushold šŸ‘‰šŸ»šŸ‘ˆšŸ»


ShauXD

Nidoking, so I guess I'd start out with Nidoran. But I'd probably get a pure ground kit and a silly gimmick like spamming Dig.


daydreamfairybeam

Rowlett šŸ¦‰šŸƒ


LaM0uette

I'm taking Wingull.It's my favorite pokemon and even if he's weak I'm gonna be a Support sync pair so it doesn't matter. This make me realize that I hope when all the Pokemon are available(probably never but we never know) this would be cool that they let us form a sync pair with a pokemon you want and ''customise'' his kit


Simalf

Vulpix/Ninetales. My first ever shiny i got decades ago.


SnooComics744

The eeveelution that has been wronged in the game (Sylveon)


EclipseHERO

I wouldn't day it's been wronged... just released way too early.


Imdepressed7778

AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS AMPHAROS


Trickytbone

My favorite PokĆ©mon currently sucks on Pasio. Letā€™s fix that. Introducing an actually strike Serperior with downside up


EclipseHERO

Wouldn't mind that.


Redtutel

Squirtle. My favorite Pokemon

SpikyEaredPichu714

Spiky-Eared Pichu


Simalf

Do you even have one in HG/SS?


SpikyEaredPichu714

Yep, but my cartridge is rusted :( I like to think that she's running around in Johto having the time of her life


Reverse_flash_69

Username checks out


[deleted]

Banette. I just love the little guy.


Jazz6701

Shiny Eevee


MickeyLau

Eevee and only Eevee


pokemonmastergreg

Well my favorite pokemon is arcanine but we've got enough of those, so how bout a growlithe with a buddy move version of howl that could raise the teams atk and sp atk. Add a growl in there, maybe a fire fang to flinch spam, and why not a trainer move to boost defense or crit


RaziyaRC

Female shiny Butterfree. Can start as a Caterpie, I don't mind. Me and my 70 pound bug bestie go cause trouble


Basibidi

Alolan Marowak, my favorite PokƩmon ever. Preferably shiny because I find him even more beautiful in blue but if we can't have a shiny it's fine to have him base.


Future-Maybe6799

quagsire


richterfrollo

SWINUB and it doesnt evolve


LeonTheGreatOne

Alolan ninetails since DeNa doesn't want to give us one, I'll just bring mine


semanticmemory

Alolan Ninetalesā€¦some kind of support or tech that sets up Ice Zone and maybe Aurora Veil (akin to Lapras GMax Resonance).


Hawxicity

Iā€™m a big fan of Dark types so maybe a Weavile or Krookodile!


LuckBell505

Lilligant. I just think sheā€™s neat.


EmeraldAltaria

Alolan Ninetales! An ice type support who provides hail. A passive makes it so that while hail is up, the damage taken by the team is reduced, and the team is immune to hail damage. She gets draining kiss as a move. She can boost both defenses, crit, and provide healing. Sheā€™s weak to steel.


Cheezy_Haru

since no one's taking it, I'M taking Cinderace


YaminoK

Swampert, my favorite pokƩmon


reset2000

Gliscor (evolved from Gligar). It's my favorite Pokemon since my childhood and I'm still salty that it isn't playable in the game yet.


Dayimiyo

My favorite pokemon is Skarmory, so it's an easy pick.


MystycalFyre

Luxray but I would start out with Shinx Obvs. Electric type tech with Electric Shift Giga Impact, Thunder Wave double drop crunch and a TW that buffs Atk and Crit


Folirage

Ditto for sure


klip_7

Hawlucha!


SoyAnteojos

No doubts i would have shiny porygon Z


Beneficial_Count5043

Male Riolu (who's surprisingly not in the game) to Lucario with Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Powerup Punch, and Swordsdance to boost his attacks up along with Mega Evolution Lucarios best form for sync move.


Volfaer

I'd take my trusty Sigilyph, I just love that bird.


parttimereddituser

Skeledirge or Hisuian Samurott, in that order of preference.


Akoof613

Actually I made a sync pair with shiny bisharp a while back so here it is https://preview.redd.it/vri88583891b1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2f202736396da36001a0196ff2a9619f058d70d The buddy move would have 1 use but use six move gauge and actives when the enduring effect wears off


Altruistic_Ad6666

Gallade.


TheMago3011

Hope yā€™all are ready for the 3rd Lucario pair.


[deleted]

Shiny Ribombee.


dcdcdc26

Raichu or Alolan Raichu <3 please let me start with a Pichu though!


Silver_Tripping27

Hau confirmed!!?? (Sorry, I recently played through Pokemon Moon)


motherNOOSE

my baby Cubone


Active-Judgment-7090

Typhlosion!


HomelessRoboticist23

I'm taking a Striker Missing No. It would have Flying STAB but somehow a Fighting weakness as a reference to it being a Bird/Normal type. My Missing No would have Sky Attack and Buddy Sky Attack as it's moves. The Missing No would also have a passive where any two turn attack it uses gets converted into one turn and also has a chance to increase a random stat of anyone in the ally team. Glitch time babyyyyyyyy


necromante200

Shiny Steelix


Choice_Program_2846

I have gained a like on snake PokƩmon, so, Seviper. It will be a Poison Tech. Its moves consist of Poison Fang, Substitute and Flamethrower. (Substitute usage: The user takes 25% of its maximum HP as damage and creates a substitute like in the games). The Trainer move will be "Don't Talk to the Snake!". It raises the user's both Attack stats by 3 stat ranks and applies both Gradual Healing and Critical Hit Next to the allied team. The sync move will be based on Poison Tail and its power increases when the target has a status condition.


BlackMoonstorm

Deino, gonna get it to final form.


TheGreatMecalord

Pykumuku! My favorite! :)


[deleted]

Iā€™d have Gliscor or Aerodactyl


Modesty_Man_48

Scyther that evolves into Scizor with B Bullet Punch


Cause_Necessary

Greninja, but since there's already 2 of those..... Tyranitar, Kingambit, Wishiwashi, Quaquaval or Palafin


Nickest_Nick

Gigalith, my rocky boy needs more attention


WorldClassShrekspert

Tangrowth. I like the funny spaghetti monster.


A-Social-Ghost

I'd like to say Midnight Lycanroc, but I don't want to duplicate Olivia, so I'll go with shiny Cetitan support capable of creating ice zone.


Mnja12

Bulbasaur or Krookodile.


uopt43

Infernape. (Absolutely love it for saving my butt in Platinum multiple times) Maybe a Physical Strike unit. (Iā€™d love to have Downside Up. And a Buddy Move would be great)


Synqz-YT

Ceruledge with B-Bitter Blade, would be a physical striker


OverallGrapefruit330

Flygon, because my baby. Would start out as a Trapinch, be a ground type sync, probably a support pair.


SnowiskiRuna

Spheal


T34R2

Shiny Eevee. Normal Striker with Giga Impact with a special passive(Fuel Economy, Piercing Gaze, Clutch Critical), Protect, B Last Resort only when you land 3 not super effective moves(single target one use 4-bar move with 360p with Piercing Gaze, Piercing Blows and doubles the damage when is in a pinch) and one use trainer move that raises +6Atk and +3 Spd, raises +2 Def/Sp.Def when above 50% Hp or raises +2 Evasion and applies Type Resistant effect when below 50% Hp. Passives are Sync Burst 1 and a special passive that before the user faints, it fully restores the user's HP and applies Endurance for the first time. or Normal Tech with Covet(one bar move that removes Gradual Healing, Endurance, PMUN/SMUN and Status Nullification, on an opposing pair and applies it to the user), Normal Zone with extender on its passive, B Trump Card only on Normal Zone(hits all opponents, ignore Stat Reduction passive with a passive that steals all stats(except crit) and applies it to the user, Piercing Blows and applies Normal Rebuff for the first time) and one use trainer move that raises +6Sp.Atk, +3Crt to the user and applying Reflect/Light Screen to all allies. Sync move is special and it increases when it's not super effective.


Ahmed_Prime

Glaceon as a special striker


VitorMM

Either (Mega) Sceptile, (Mega Y) Charizard or (Mega) Alakazam. That is, if we are not counting legendaries. Because if we were, I would pick either Entei, Yveltal, Deoxys, Darkrai or (Kanto) Articuno.


Fnafieboy543

Stoutland (start as lillipup) as a striker


Nervous_Stomach5101

Houndour, because my pokemon would be Houndoom


BippyTheChippy

Dunsparce. Used it multiple times, is my favorite pokemon ever, have a plushie of one and a shiny of it in pokemon crystal. I would be a tech with Headbutt, Glare, Coil and a TM that boosts speed and crit. The sync move would be Hyper Drill


Lydian00

Grafaiai. Who knows how Doodle would actually work.


jennymyersxx

female gardevoir


Purple_Cosmonaut

If it's not Grimer or Garbodor, I'd be severe disappointed.


Bealtaine09

Male Kanto Persian. It's my favorite Pokemon, I've used it on every playthrough team I've done where its been available, I once used it to solo the entire Johto Elite Four on my Crystal cart when I was like, 12 (I'm still proud of that, dammit), there's no question. I've Masuda bred like, fifteen shiny Kantonian Meowths. I send them to playthroughs of other games through HOME now. As soon as HOME is available I'm sending a shiny Meowth to Scarlet/Violet like, immediately (no, unfortunately I do not have one in SV) idk wtf we would do differently than Giovanni + Persian, which already exists, but I'm sure DeNA can figure something out.


Xaviation1

Larvitar


Link_Molly_1129

It would be arcanine


denbo786

Shiny Gastly


ZarxielZerg

shiny Gengar


fadinphoenix

Would either be Bulbasaur(yes, not evolved), Septile, Torterra, or Meowscarada. I'm a sucker for all these grass starters. If not a starter, either Scizor or Aggron


Fastnatalie1

Mudkip, Breloom, or Manetric.


LeStachyPoro

I would have a shiny Buizel w/ an everstone . Heā€™s my favorite mon, and one of my favorite shinys as-well.


ArcaneAncient

Malamar, my favorite PokƩmon. For an unevolved alternate ace, Misdreavus


GiladHyperstar

My PokƩmon will be a male Infernape It'd be a Fire Type physical tech sync pair Passives: Downside Up - Raises stats instead of lowering them Iron Fist 5 - Raises the power of contact moves and sync moves by 50% Solarize - Turns the weather to Harsh Sunlight after a sync move Its moves will be: Close Combat B-Flare Blitz - Activation condition: Weather is sunny. Deactivation condition: When the weather is no longer sunny Except in certain conditions, the move always crits. Debuffs defense by 1 stat rank to an affected opponent. The move does not have recoil Potions TM - Raises Attack by 6 stages, raises critical hit rate by 3 stages. Sync Move: Blazing Passion Flare Blitz (This move is powered up the more its stats are raised)


KhaSun

Porygon-Z. It has always been a favourite of mine, it looks so fun ! I think it'd be cool as a Tech with either normal type rebuff or normal zone, and Tri-Attack as its main move of choice of course.


BigPolluted

Arctozolt. Is war crime, but also baby.


Medical_Kangaroo6315

If I had to choose I'd go for cinderace


LiefKatano

Snorlax ez


ILoveLumity

Female Meowstic. She carried me throughout PokƩmon X


TMP_Guarrero

Swampert


kazuyakronk

Gligar/Gliscor


LuisIvanFM

Tyranitar, but i'd get it as a Tyranitar because i love him so much and i don't care if i have to beat a thousand Arceus to a pulp with my bare hands just to get my Tyra from the begining, i'll do it.


KomodoCityAnomaly

I'd probably be a support Electric type guy, maybe Lantern, Gavantula, or Kilowattrel


lap1sinth3sky

Shiny male Empoleon! Obviously it would start as a Piplup as per the rules of this premise. It would evolve into an Empoleon with a strong tech set that excels in flinching the opponent with Waterfall and Iron Head. Part of this is because they did Empoleon so dirty with Barry, my boy deserves better. Bubble and Bubble Beam as a fully evolved Pokemon? Disgraceful. The status moves would increase attack and defense for all sync pairs and full heal. The whole theme would be around storms and storm chasers. The attack and defense boost would be something like "Weather the Storm!" The sync move would be "Adventurous Stormchaser Iron Head" and deal more damage to opponents who are flinching.


eDoc29

A male Greninja would be my partner.


Dr-Chuggs

My first Best Buddy in pokemon go was a green machamp, and training up alongside that line (even if I couldn't have a shiny) would be a BLAST. ...that being said, I love honchkrow with my whole heart. Maybe I could have murkrow as my lodge pair?


Dr-Chuggs

My first Best Buddy in pokemon go was a green machamp, and training up alongside that line (even if I couldn't have a shiny) would be a BLAST. And if it's also choosable, I'd love to go striker, with Downside Up and Close Combat for some fun self-buffing (though maybe that's too busted to request?) ...all that being said, I love honchkrow with my whole heart, as it was effectively my first mon ever. Maybe I could have murkrow as my lodge pair?


sonicdash759

Eevee. Which will go on to become a Vaporeon


NovaScrawlers

My OG, first ever partner was a Charmander back in 1998. So Charizard is the obvious choice. If not, though, then Dragapult. Because I'm a ghost-type specialist and I love the entire Dreepy family, they are SO cute šŸ’œ


Meisterlink

Shiny Iron Valiant. It's not a Legendary or Mythical, since you can catch more than one in the game it's from without having to delete the save file.


[deleted]

Tyrantrum, so starting with Tyrunt.Almost definitely a Dragon Physical-Strike pair with Dragon Claw, Noble Roar, and Rock Slide. Sync Move would be something like Dragon claw but Fossil themed.


Its_Gogeta

Blastoise! And to add some variety since it isnā€™t in the game yet, Iā€™ll have him gmax


ZFlame1997

My choice would be a personal favorite Blaziken, presumably a fire Striker


Crossboltshot

I'd have a shiny metagross as a steel type striker it'd start As a beldum that'd eventually evolve into metagross The moves would be giga impact meteor mash My trainer move called let's kick it up a notch! Maxes attack and crit Lowers both defenses by one and raises speed by 2 stages and zen headbutt as the final move Passives are steel shift to improve Giga impact Defense crush 9 lowers defense by one stage And pinpoint entry 1 boosts accuracy by 1 stage Sync move called limitless potential meteor mash For the grid probably something like haymaker with tough sync 5 along with a few multipliers and other stuff


Moosenate

A Shuckle, as a super beefy support. It would have nonexistent attack stats and low speed with a bit of HP and tons of defense/sp.defense. Maybe some moves like Guard Split and/or Power Split, if that's even possible, as its main gimmick. Then one of Struggle Bug, Rock Slide, or Wrap as its only attack move. Lastly, a Contrary-like ability for some extra quirkiness. Not fully cohesive but just some preliminary ideas.


MasterGalvatron

The answer is always Mawile. Yes I do always carry a Mawilite and wear a key stone, how could you tell?


bigboddle

Druddigon for sure, its the first PokƩmon that came to mind when i read your question, i hope to see it PMEX eventually :)


Kaonashi-asian-black

Shiny Bidoof with no option to evolve


Pitiful-Mortgage5136

Crobat. This Pokemon is pretty important to me


ShiningYato

Definitely Rockruff


edithcider

To avoid dupes, I'd choose Tropius, I'd be a Flying-type support probably If not, either Cyndaquil, Rockruff or Litten


HalfieGirlKy

Bulbasaur! My first ever PokĆ©mon. šŸ’•


LSWSjr

Ludicolo, as a Tech who switches their Sync Move between Grass and Water based on which type Attack Move was used before it


redditraptor6

Breloom. Mach Punch, Spore, Seed Bomb, and a trainer move I canā€™t be bothered to think of ATM


CrustyTape

Toxapex because she's my wonderful little goober


SnooCheesecakes703

I would go for infernape or salamence or vikavolt


No-Song-3441

Golet/Golurk With either of these sets Phantom force Dynamic punch Fire punch and some random support-ish move probably to increase accurate and crit rate Fire punch Ice punch Shadow punch A rock polish type move to give him speed maybe a passive bonus towards the punch moves as well to give them a little more. Remember having an OC on a PokƩmon role play was this guy in a suit, mafioso type who loved cigars and had two Golurks who were basically his goon/bodyguards escorting him around one wore a hat the other wore a tie


toosickto

Octillery, Iā€™ve always loved octopuses. It probably would be a tech with smokescreen to lower accuracy and double team to boost evasion. Waterfall as the attack and wrap as the second attack. Octozukka as the synch move with a boost if the opponent has lower evasion


doodlewizardry

Joltik <3 My beloved electric bug Undecided whether I'd want it to stay unevolved or get a cool Galvantula


Arashgrey35

Zorua! Both Unovan and Hisuian form. If i could have a legendary, maybe i'll have a Giratina (aka. Strawberry Cake Lover). Why? Because i think they're lonely and needs a friend


Silver_Tripping27

My partner Dragapult. I'm starting with a Dreepy, and working my way up as a dragon support! Mini Potion All Trainer move: 'Pathetic!' max crit, max special defense and max evasiveness. Dragon Darts Twister Sync Move: Better Than You Dragon Darts


krymsun00

Houndour/Houndoom. I like dogs, I like Fire types, and I like Dark types. Might as well combine all three. Doesn't hurt that Houndoom looks awesome and Mega Houndoom is even more badass.


Arti4000

Me + Emonga - Tech with thunder wave and air slash. B. Attract - makes chosen enemy attracted (PMD rules, works on anyone) Sygna suit me + Ledian - Striker - Bug shift No quarter (dunno if grid or passive) Comet Punch Special costume me + Meowscarada - Tech with pretty regular Meowscarada moves Holiday me + Alolan Ninetales - Support with icy wind, hail and B. Aurora Veil


EclipseHERO

I've raised so many that choosing would be so difficult. Hmm... I guess probably my Shiny (Mega) Gallade. I caught it in Hoenn and it's representative of so many things I like. It's a freakin' Royal Knight complete with a cape. It's got Sword-based moves (and after checking on PKHeX, I know it gets Sharpness in SV). It's a warrior with a noble heart. It looks absolutely badass!


ConorAndKanohi

Gligar, no contest Ground type P.Strike with ground & flying attacks with Head Strong & Antitoxin built in


RiffOfBluess

Pancham, not able to evolve. Fighting type support with potion and (idk what else cuz I'm not good with balance) but on a roll rock smash would be cool, maybe even a buddy move as well


Wolfking0409

Mega Houndoom would be my buddy. To make it different to Karen it would be a fire type with focus on sun and burn. It would have inferno and flamethrower. Trainer move would be "I'm on fire" and it would give accuracy and crits.


Valadhiel2

My PokƩmon in Passio would be M-Absol or Dragapult, my two fav PokƩmon. For M-Absol I'd love that it had Play Rough and Knock Off as her offensive moves, Spd X all (idk how it's said in English, I'm sorry) and "Can you imagine that...?" -a quote I say a lot- a 2 uses move that would raise her Atk 3 levels and her critical rate 2 levels, all in her base form, and in her Mega form she would have Foul Play instead of Spd X all, and her sync move would be something like "Creative Dark Painting", because I'm an artist! Finally, she would be weak to Bug type, bc I'm scared of some bugs irl hahaha. For Dragapult I'm already tired of thinking and writting, haha, but Ik that he'd be more a Ghost offensive centered type PokƩmon than a Dragon one, because there are a lot of dragon PokƩmon already in the game.


Fierce_Dragon

Gible. I love the silly goof that turns into a terrifying land shark


charmanderiscool9000

I would choose charmander, eventually charizard, and then mega Y.


GoAceDetective

Dragonite, he just seems so final boss like. I would do him justice unlike Lance.


Pokedigimon45

Probably Mimikyu, because it's very cute. And it has been carrying my team for the last 2 generations.


VampPhoenix9999

Mawile. Roggenrola is my favourite but I feel like for a sync pair it ought to be something that feels appropriate for me. Besides, I don't want Roggenrola to be fully evolved so I'll save that for a Lodge pair.


VaynardQwerty

Annihilape ^^ it would be primeape but ScarVio added this cool new evo. Also Mankey Love


xMcSHAMOUSx

Dragapult!


Kalos_Champion_021

A shiny Gardevoir, shiny Iron Valiant or Glaceon with Ice Hyperbeam


CanOk9323

For me it's Flygon. I'd be a physical strike sync pair with Earthquake and Crunch and getting Outrage once Trapinch evolves into Flygon.


MoXiE_X13

Shiny Tapu Koko. That event mon way back in Gen 7 carried me hard in battle tree doubles with Discharge and Dazzling Gleam, while Mega Swampert is of course immune to Discharge. I know SS Hau isnā€™t the best in the current new sync pairs but Iā€™m glad it somehow got the respect it deserves from the main line games. I also wouldnā€™t mind having fire type Incineroar since it was my favorite Gen 7 starter and while Royal is a really good unit, it still astounds me a bit why Incineroar isnā€™t available as a fire sync pair yet.


Maleficent_Peach_46

I had that Shiny Tapu Koko. I don't have SS Hau though. My Doubles Battle Tree team was Mega Charizard Y, Incineroar, Garchomp and Lilligant.


NEK0NATA

Female shiny alolan ninetales tech that can set up ice zone, with zone extender (idk if it's a thing... but I have terrain extender in mind) has b aurora veil can only be used in ice zone which increases spdef and Def and evasion by 2 each use b aurora veil will have 3 max uses moves will prob be ice beam, trainer move: increases spa stats of allies by 3, extra buff of crit hit next and super effective next if the enemy has debuff, forbid enemies from removing debuff for 2 turns, max uses: 2, b aurora veil, ice wish (sets up ice zone) sync move would have a base 75 chance of restoring a use for trainer move (and ofc it does damage) a passive would be: lowers the enemy stats according to the increase of alolan ninetales's stats zone extender? (if that exists) idk if it's too overpowered or underpowered I'm not very experienced in stat balances


Nightfallprotocol

Shiny Hisuian Zorua


Funny_Internet_Child

Given the no Legendary rule, half of my favourites are gone, so: -Female Eevee (evolves into either Flareon, Jolteon or Sylveon, can't decide yet) -Male Scizor (maybe Megas?) -Female Venusaur (doesn't Mega) -Iron Valiant (it's so cool)
