hey guys, i just started playing Moon recently and my team currently consists of:
>Torracat
>Yungoos
>Spinarak
>Drifloon
>Pichu
and an egg
its not a great team. im not really feeling it, but it feels better than any other setup.
tl;dr any suggestions to help build a better team?
(btw, i just got to Akala Island, about to start the first trial)
>He uses Pokemon that aren't native to the Alola region

This.
At least catch A- Grimer, He is a totally bro tier.

evolve the shitty pichu, drop the spinarak becuase while ariados is cool, its a shitmon, ive never used a drifloon before so i won't judge but yungoos is gonna peak with its usefulness soon so your gonna need to thing about replacing him.
if your looking for teambuilding for story purposes choose 2-3 mons you want and then use the other 3-4 to cover weaknesses and gain as much coverage as possible
Please recommend me the last 2, thinking of adding Vikavolt but it evolves in very late game so Im not sure

Charjabug carries its weight very well until it evolves. I wouldn't shy away from using it just because of the late evolution.
Alternatively, Ribombee can be very useful also.I used both.
Yungoose will run out of steam around the second island. Spinarak is trash, ditch it. Vikavolt and Ribombee are both good, bit you already have electric so Ribombee is likely better. No clue about Drifloon. Alolan Grimer is really good, poison jab+poison touch and knock off is great, and only 1 weakness. Pikipek becomes pretty strong too.
i've been trying to evolve pichu, especially since its learned everything it can, but damn.
yungoos is getting played out, yeah.
spinarak was really just a replacement for ledyba.
i need a good water type too.
thanks for the suggestions

Pelipper is by far the best water pokemon for an in game run and has good synergy with raichu, just be sure the wingull you catch has hydration. Gyarados is good too.
I'd say that whatever version of sandshrew/vulpix you can catch are great pokemon and so is Salazzle/marowak if you don't mind the grind for them.
