    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.


    C-tier: Chespin, Tepig, Meowth, Munchlax.

    • 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.

    • 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
