Does anybody stop and wonder at the starter choices because their are so much? Well, this blog will tell you the best starter to choose.
Personally, I think the best starter is Mudkip , only having one weakness which is Grass types . So Erika , the grass type gym leader, will one shot your Marshtomp or Swampert .
Choosing The Right Starter[]
Ok, enough of me talking. Let's get to choosing the right starter.
These are the gym leader types in order:
Rock Type Pokemon
Water Type Pokemon
Grass Type Pokemon
Poison Type Pokemon
Psychic Type Pokemon
Ground Type Pokemon
The grass type starters have 2 gyms that are super-effective against it: The Poison Gym, and the Fire Type Gym. The grass type pokemon also have 3 gyms that grass is super-effective against: The Rock Type Gym, The Water Type Gym, and the Ground Type gym. To counter the poison and fire type gym, use either a Treecko or Snivy , the 2 fastest grass type starters.
The water type starters have 2 gyms that are super-effective against it: The Electric Gym (with the exception of Mudkip ), and the Grass Type Gym. The water type also has 3 gyms (similar to the grass type) that water is super-effective against: The Rock Type Gym, The Fire Type Gym, and the Ground Type Gym. So I would recommend a Squirtle or Froakie , the 2 strongest water type starters.
And the fire type starters. The fire type starters have 3 gyms super-effective against it: The Rock Type Gym, The Water Type Gym, and The Ground type gym (with the exception of Charizard ). The fire type starters also have super-effective moves to this gym: The Grass Type gym. So recommends using Charmander or Chimchar .
Now, The final choice. The best starter to choose is... Froakie! It's is one of the fastest starters, evolves to an incredibly fast Greninja , and has the upperhand to 3 gyms! Greninja could help you to your way of greatness, and take out many gyms with it's power. EV and IV train Greninja, then you have a monster right in your party.
Note[]
I'm not saying you should pick Froakie. You could pick any starter, but Froakie seems very strong and fast.
