My personal ranking of the main series starters. The pokemon within the tiers are not ranked, only the tiers are ranked, S is most favorite, A is very good, B is good, C is eh, D is least favorite. Espeon, Umbreon and Eevee are from Colosseum/XD: GoD games. Feel free to rank them if you want

This thread can go into tiering all the starters from the spinoffs, too, right? Because in that case, I want to include PMD starters, too.

A-tier: Rowlet, Mudkip, Charmander, Pikachu, Espeon, Umbreon, Turtwig.

B-tier: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Torchic, Popplio, Litten, Fennekin, Froakie, Skitty, Snivy, Machop, Cubone, Phanphy, Sninx.

Only going to go with the starters from the main series games since I wasn't much into the spinoffs, and my opinions of them might be slightly different as starters rather than just another regular Pokemon. I've also added a plus for those that are in-between tiers for me- they're slightly higher than those in that tier, but just not enough for the next one up.

S-tier
Treecko
Rowlet

A-tier
Squirtle
Piplup (+)
Oshawott
Chespin

B-tier
Charmander
Eevee (+)
Mudkip
Snivy
Litten

C-tier
Bulbasaur
Pikachu
Chikorita
Cyndaquil (+)
Totodile (+)
Torchic
Tepig
Fennekin
Froakie
Popplio

D-tier
Turtwig
Chimchar

I will only be ranking them according to the main series as I feel that spin offs depart from the main series too much to be reasonably comparable.

S tier:
Turtwig,
Froakie,
Rowlet.

A tier:
Charmander,
Totodile,
Piplup,
Chimchar,
Bulbasaur.

B tier:
Snivy,
Treeko,
Totodile,
Cyndaquill,
Chikorita
Popplio,
Oshawott.

C tier:
Chespin,
Squirtle,
Chespin,
Fennekin,
Torchic,
Tepig,
Mudkip,
Pikachu

D tier:
Litten.

Note that, in the cases of Pikachu, Eevee, Espeon, and Umbreon, their placements are based on how I feel about them as starters, not just as Pokémon in general.

S-Tier
  • Cyndaquil
  • Snivy
  • Popplio
  • Honōguma
A-Tier
  • Chikorita
  • Totodile
  • Treecko
  • Torchic
  • Oshawott
  • Fennekin
  • Kurusu
B-Tier
  • Bulbasaur
  • Charmander
  • Squirtle
  • Eevee
  • Mudkip
  • Tepig
  • Chespin
  • Froakie
  • Rowlet
C-Tier
  • Espeon
  • Umbreon
  • Litten
D-Tier
  • Pikachu, because it's already available super early in Kanto so having it as a starter feels like a waste.
  • Turtwig
  • Chimchar
  • Piplup
