Charmander & Squirtle, i originally picked Squirtle to start my FR journey and since i've always liked it's evolutions it was well worth the time to train him to evolve to Blastoise which got to LV.65 then my game crashed :surprised: . And so then i started a journey with Charmander and training hard to evolve to Charizard is well worth it you couldn't ask for more than a Charizard in FR!

Charizard, Raichu, and Vaporeon. (or Charmander, Pikachu, and Eevee) Because together as a trio you can use all the HM's while still having good attack moves. Being a triangle of types (fire, water, and electric) they were good against almost all types and were just generally strong and fun Pokemon to train in FireRed/LeafGreen.

Lapras! I almost soloed the E4 with her. Takes pretty much every bit of damage that it dealt to her, and deals the double back!

I thought Kadabra was the funnest to train. It would take like two moves at most to defeat the opponent and it was just tons of fun training it.

Plus most of the bikers in the cycling road used poison and fighting types, so Kadabra always had a field day going against them.

I'm currently playing FR and right now Bulbasaur has been an absolute breeze for me to train, so I can't complain about it. She's pretty strong, too. But I generally always love raising Eevee because I love the eeveelutions.

For me it was Nidoking. I always wondered how strong I can make it. Eventualy I challenged the elite four with only it. (Didnt go too well at them)
But I also loved training my Arcanine. It ended being my all time favourite fire pokemon.

Abra was the the best to train but took a long while to evolve to it's final form because of trading i had to beat the elite 4 before trading ( my brother had ruby ) but was worth it

Dodrio or Butterfree.

I always use a Dodrio in personal runs of FireRed/LeafGreen, I actually started using it because Tri-Attack was always one of my favourite moves, even though i didn't think it was very powerful. Then I learned that 80 base power +110 base attack +STAB = God

I actually only ever used Butterfree because my first ever shiny was a Caterpie in FireRed, and I thought "Don't care if it sucks, I'm using this thing." I learned that Butterfree is actually pretty useful and now I love using it in personal runs.

Holy frost-bitten monkey testicles, I had no idea this thread had so many posts. Sorry about not paying attention to all this, guise =_= also, I've just been replaying Fire Red, and... I realized that training a Kadabra is just... AMAZING *-*

Kabuto - Kabutops was fun, though a bit of a grind, I don't like using Rare Candy or 'switching' because it dosen't take effort values into account so it's not worth it in the long run.

Magikarp - Gyrados is the biggest piss take since Magicarp has sucky stats and it only learns tackle as a damaging move, also no TMs work on it.

In terms of easiest to level up/ train I would have to say Geodude because he just breezes through those levels and I am playing Fire Red at the moment (Just started, 1 badge) and my Geodude is already L20!
