I want lord Piplup, of House Steel! Steel types are a solid defensive typing, forming the bulwark of a late-game team

But hear me out on this. The mystery box could be anything. It could even be a Piplup!

It could be a box! A mysterious box inside a mystery box. Boxception surpreme!
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there's a flying box Pokemon.

I have decided that in addition to having Torchic as our starter, I would like to catch an Infernape and an Emboar, with an Incineroar for flavor

Not very, apparently.
(Though to be fair a few gym leaders like Sabrina could probably be considered exceptions.)

Those guys aren't optimized, a good single-type trainer can be very effective.

Mechanically you might be at a disadvantage, but monotype trainers can reuse a lot of training gear and care products if their pokemon are all on fire or require rubber gloves to pet.

I once made a normal-type team with a theme of being half a trick room team, half a speedy+tailwind team for doubles format. It was gimmicky as fuck but it worked surprisingly well with a high win-rate.
The point being that a properly trained single-type team is a force to be reckoned with, as long as you know how to counter what you're weak against.

Sabrina just takes advantage of having the second best pokemon in the game (alekazam) and the fact that psychic had no actual counters in gen 1, because there were no valid bug moves, bug pokemon were either poison or fighting, dark didn't exist, and ghosts were poison, and also didn't have ghost moves.

Now, there's no choice. I need to vote for the mystery option.
