I would recommend Glalie if you haven't used it before, Freeze Dry makes it a monster in the remake, especially with all the Gyarados you'll face.

All its Mega does is make it bigger because its design is already perfect and now it can blast sound better

Give it an ability that boosts sound-based moves by 50% and bypasses Soundproof because no headphones are going to save you from its sweet tunes

e: also, going through alpha sapphire for the first time since... GBA sapphire when I was 10. Literally the only friends I like so far are Mudkip and Shroomish and i'm past the first gym. Where in this game do you find cool monsters?
there's a couple cool mons in the dark cave around gym 2. if you were playing OR you'd have access to Mawile who is a beast this gen, but her counterpart's pretty neat too

I hope that maybe with Megas gone they give Mawile and Sableye real evolutions (preferably just slightly toned down versions of their mega evos).

Also I hope we get other Galar forms that aren't from Gen 1. Zigzagoon/Linoone/Obstagoon is a start but since then we've just gotten more Gen 1 mons.

Give me Galaran Castform

Also just turn Beedrill into Mega-Beedrill. Better design all around and its actually a fun and functional Pokemon.

Ditto with Charizard into Mega Charizard-Y, Pidgeot, Altaria and Abomasnow.

there we have now saved all the good ones

There’s a fun but completely unsubstantiated rumor going around since the Galarian Ponyta pseudo-reveal:

https://pokejungle.net/2019/10/05/rumor-galarian-ponyta-was-predicted-in-post-last-month/

I love the idea of Galar forms for Chatot, Luxray, Bisharp, and Girafarig. It’s probably bullshit but you never know!!

we're definitely getting a galar-specific evo of some old trash mon for Shield, and the pool of "mons who dont evolve and are not just bad but really awful" is pretty small. if you specifically want another flying type Chatot is really the only one that comes to mind. Dunsparce would be cool too

Delibird as well. Its even similar as its a 'joke' Pokemon and would parallel Farfetch'd nicely

Chatot has STAB boomburst and guaranteed confusion+damage, it's not remotely in the same ballpark of uselessness as Farfetch'd.

iirc, ORAS actually locks you out of the part of that cave that Mawile and Sableye spawn in until after you get your fifth badge. They also they don’t bother changing the level you encounter them at to compensate so have fun trying to catch them without killing them and then catching them up to the rest of your team

I'm pretty sure it's only locked off until you can get the Mach Bike, so you can backtrack before you get your third badge. It's not that much better though, since whatever you're going back for is still gonna be pretty underlevelled, just closer to 10 levels behind the curve than 20.

You want bad advice?

Anything is okay if you don't get caught!

... I hope this helps!
I am so glad that new evolutions for old Pokémon are back on the table. They have been going back and touching up the BST, move pools, and abilities of some older, under-performing Pokémon, but many of them still feel incomplete as single stages. I hope that this means Chatot is finally due for one. It may have a moderately damaging 100% confusion move and STAB Boomburst but it still needs something more.
