Ivysaur, duh.
This is the objectively correct answer.
All. of. this.

Ivysaur's the best, imo.

Mine is a toss up between quilava and Torracat
Quilava just has an all around cool design. While Torracat is a cat, and I like cats

Quilava and Torracat are both adorable ❤️ Cyndaquil has a great middle stage form!

Glad to see the middle stage starters finally get some love. I’d honestly say I like most of them, especially when you consider they’re supposed to represent the whole “awkward teenager in transition” concept; most of them do that very well. That being said, my favorites are:

1. Quilava
2. Dewott
3. Raboot

Honestly, I freaking love these three and think they’re good enough to stand alone as final evolutions but are all made even better by their top forms. Also, shout out to Bayleef, monferno, grovyle, frogadier, torracat(better than icineroar IMO) and all the Kanto middle stages for being top notch.

1. Bayleef
2. Torracat
3. Quilava

First 2 are no brainers for me. Bayleef is cute and torracat is a cool cat (and I love cats) and much better than its evolution (they really messed up the final evo imo).
3rd took me a while to decide, but Quilava is the only one I like enough to give 3rd place. It's cute, but not as good as the other 2 imo

I would honestly have to say Grovyle and Raboot!!!

Grovyle largely due to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, my all-time favourite games!! Grovyle’s devotion to the main character is truly remarkable. I will always cherish such a well-written character in my heart. Words cannot acutely express how brilliant I find Grovyle’s interpretation. Of course, I also adore Grovyle’s desig. It certainly helps being the pre-evolution to my favourite grass type starter.



My love for Raboot is more heavily associated with design. This fire-type bunny is perhaps my favourite generation 8 Pokémon. It just looks so insanely badass. The energy this Pokémon radiates is simply untouched, immaculate. Raboot is the embodiment of cool, effortlessly so. I want more than anything to have Raboot by my side.



It’s notable that these two possess a similar vibe to them, which is yet another why I adore them so much.

Honourable mentions: Monferno, Bayleef, & Combusken!

Gen 1: Wartortle
Gen 2: Quilava
Gen 3: Grovyle
Gen 4: Monferno
Gen 5-8: None

Out of these, I think Quilava is my favorite, followed closely by Grovyle, then Wartortle, with Monferno coming in last. For the most part, I tend to prefer either the base stage or the final stage. Even here, I still much prefer Typhlosion and Sceptile over their middle starters. But I prefer Wartortle and Monfero over Blastoise and Infernape.
