Like RaZoR LeAf I'd probably use various different pokemon that I want to at the time.
Well I want to begin with Incineroar because its damn cool. I like Pallosand and it's typing is excellent, and Araquanid is pretty cool too, Kommo-O is great albeit late in the game, and the Lvl 10 salamence could let me cheese the game. Lycanroc too for some speed but pure rock is pretty bad typing wise. Minior could be amazingly powerful, Mimkyu, Mudsdale and Vikavolt are also cool, but slow, although the speed creep was pretty much abandoned this gen, so being slow isn't really that bad, just as long as relative speed isn't god awful or bulk makes up for it.
Or I could do something I've always wanted to, and "start" with three starters, picking one and then getting the others via trade asap, and I love all these starters.
I'd probably fil any remaining team slots with old mons that I generally find cool, i.e. previously mentioned lvl 10 -mence, Metagross, Scizor, Lucario, Alolan Golem, Garchomp, Arcanine. Lots of cool team possibilities this gen, especially in regards to starters:
Didn't choose Decidueye? A shame because its design is amazing, but don't worry, Dhelmise has the same typing, a better non-hidden ability and similar stats.
Didn't choose Incineroar? Arcanine gets intimidate as a regular ability and have similar bulk and roles, but with a trade off of not having the weaknesses or the support of the dark type.
Didn't choose Primarina? Tapu Fini has better stats with the same typing and role, and before you get it there's plenty of other water types for the F-W-G core.
