If Ash's journey never ended what would his team be?

  • Pikachu: Electric tera-type, though changed to Stellar during some special arc.
  • Skeledirge: Definitely the starter that fits Ash the most. As a Fuecoco it would be identical to Roy's and then it would be a powerhouse with coverage via biting moves. Fire tera-type.
  • Lokix: As a Nymble it would be a real weakling but then it would be a proud and agile physical glass cannon, and it would take advantage of Kamen Raider's popularity in Japan. Fighting Tera-type.
  • Toedscruel: A Dracovish-like choice, it would be silly as a Toedscool but then it would cripple its opponents with status moves, coverage of Grass and Ground types and maybe a Water Tera-type to reference Tentacruel.
  • Ogerpon: She's designed to be your friend and it would be interesting to see Ash with one to make it more popular. Her masks would be acquired late during the series or destroyed off screen to make it less troublesome, so it would always wear the Grass one.
  • Cetitan: Late arrival and quite bulky, would take advantage of Ice Spinner to make up for its poor speed. Ice tera-type.
For extra options, Tinkaton (Steel Tera-type) or Kingambit (could be Lokix's older brother, Dragon Tera-type to show his royalty).

So i was wonder what if Ash never ended his Pokemon journey and he decided to venture in the Paldea region what would his team be in your opinion?

For me:
Pikachu
Sprigatito
Fuecoco > Crocolor
Quaxly > Quaxwell > Quaquaval
Tarountula > Spidops
Tatsugiri

Well... i am mainly looking from a balancing perspective here (Not gonna mention Pikachu on this team, because its a staple and also looking at which types he doesn't have a lot of and can benefit him).
Quaxly > Quaxwell > Quaquaval (Tera Type - Fighting)
Fuecoco (Tera type - Fire)
Smoliv > Dolliv > Arboliva (Tera Type - Grass)
Tinkatink > Tinkatuff > Tinkaton (Tera Type - Fairy)
Cetoddle > Cetitan (Tera Type - Water)
Rellor > Rabsca Tera Type - Psychic

My reasonings being is that when Ash got 2 Starters, he hasn't gotten the Water/Fire pairing yet (He got Grass/Fire twice). Not giving him Spritgatito/Meowscarada because it would be too similair to Litten/Incineroar. To switch it up also, i also have decided not to evolve Fuecoco.
Ash can benefit from another Normal type that isn't Pure Normal or paired with Flying.
He already has a Pure Male species with Tauros, so i decided to give him a pure Female species of Pokemon and Tinkaton would basically providing the Comedic relief on the team (Hammering Ash every time she gets excited or gets out of her Pokeball).
Ash basically needs another Ice type to go alongside Glalie and with Frigibax the only other one available, the only option was Cetitan (Also because i didn't want to give him 2 Psuedo's in back-to-back regions).
Rabsca is mainly there because Ash can benefit from another Bug type on his team, with him only having Heracross and Leavanny he has access too and with Mimey being his only Psychic type (And non-active combatant), he needed another Psychic type on his roster. Is also here to showcase the Lets Go mechanic.

Ogerpon would join his team temporarily for Kitakami as a travelling companion, but it won't actually join Ash.
