This game forces you to use a VARIETY of pokemon you normally DON'T use. For example: It could make you use a Leavanny or Luxray or tons of other stuff. Just make sure to keep a good team that can combat each others' weaknesses. If you have a fire type on your team have at least a pokemon with a good move that can combat Water or Rock or anything else. Just keep your team BALANCED and try not to get overleveled. Also for Froakie go for a Special set NOT a physical.
