I already had a Surfing Pikachu from some-rear end-where, so I'm gonna bring in one of those. Also, a Glaceon (pre-evolved) and a Porygon-Z. The other three, I'll catch along the way. I will bench my starter and not reuse anything I have used in any prior game.

Also, I've seen a few posts about it but I'm still interested in everybody's planned teams, if they don't plan to switch as they do. So far I definitely want to use-

Incineroar (Gotta have a starter- Actually I would rather use Alolan Marowak but the Shadow Bone issue prevents it. Might swap to Salazzle.)
Lycanroc (Wanna use Dusk-boy)
Tsareena (She's rad, and I didn't use her last time.)
Kommo-o (See above.)
Araquanid (Rad bug,)
Mudsdale (Rad horse.)

All physical attackers... Well, Kommo-o can do both, I guess.
I'm gonna be using:
Decidueye (because I chose Popplio last time)
Toxapex (it's an adorable little corsola-muncher)
Palossand (Why not, sand castles are cool)
Raichu-A (loving adorable flying pancake)
Salazzle (still debating this, not entirely sure if I want it)
Lycanrock Dusk (only because I heard that you can breed the Own Tempo ability down from the gift one, so it's actually nicknameable and able to be given egg moves :3:)

I used Araquanid and Mudsdale on my team last time, and I definitely recommend them. (Make sure you get stamina on Mudsdale, it's the far superior ability.)

Briavary is miserable to use in game since it evolves so late and Rufflet's base stats really don't cut it past level 30 or so.

Honestly it'd be hilarious if Carbink could evolve into Diancie at the same rate or lower than they could be shiny, but it's a friendship based evolution with no outward indicators of if a Carbink is special that way or not, so you have to mass breed them and then grind up the friendship over, and over, and over...

I mean it'd be pretty nonviable to grind for a Diancie that way but just the very slim chance of getting a Diancie if you carry around a Carbink for long enough...

I don't right now, but I should be able to make one. IIRC, breeding a HA Alolan vulpix with a regular one has a chance of making a HA regular one.

I thought you needed a hold item or something to get an alolan form pokemon to produce the regular form?

You do! The hold item is just an everstone, though.
That being said, since Kurieg has volunteered, I'll not bother.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but I'll ask just in case (Minor Pokemon acquisition spoiler)

Is it possible to get multiple Poipole in one game, or do I have to do multiple runs to fulfill a living dex?

Start the game, send your starter and maybe another 'mon or two to the other game. Go to end game areas or otherwise power level them as high as you want. Trade em back, as I understand it, they're still that games Pokemon so they'll obey you.

That's the only thing that occurs to me

It's not a sequel, pick the opposite version if you want to get the opposite box legend.

Did you transfer them to a gen VII game or do they have ORAS exclusive moves?

If Groudon knows Precipice blades for instance you need it to forget it to go to X
