Favorite middle stage starter

[Sheep]

There are often a lot of discussions on favorite starters in the fanbase, where people usually mention either the first or final forms. So let's give the mid stages some love! Which are your favorites?

 

[Squirtlenator]

My top three:

1.

2.

3.

 

[Caite-chan]

Prinplup, Braixen, Torracat and Dartrix.

Piplup will always be my favorite starter even though I hardly ever use water types.

 

[Mab]

dewott is by far the best second stage starter do not @ me

 

[Zeostar]

I like so many of them.

Probably bayleef

 

[Alfadør]

Bayleef and Dewott, followed by Torracat. Mid stages are usually my least favourites, but those are great. And Bayleef and Dewott are the only cases in which the mid stage is my favourite form of their line.

 

[YellowTemperment]

Very easy.
Grovyle
hands down.

 

[Treecko]

As the resisident Treecko stan mine is obviously Grovyle, but Quilava, Ivysaur, Servine , and Frogadier are in my top 5.

Ngl, haven't given this a whole lot of thought but if I had to choose a handful I would pick Grovyle, Croconaw, and Frogadier as my favourites.

 

[Adam Levine]

Grovyle and Dartrix are my favorites. I guess that's also because I really love their evolutionary lines in general.

I like Marshtomp, Dewott, and Drizzile too.

 

[Valroxen]

Dewott is an easy choice, Torracat is also hella cute and idk I have a soft spot for Thwackey :3

 

[Fairy]

Ivysaur, duh.

 

[icycatelf]

Not only is Wartortle my favorite mid-stage Starter, but I currently consider it my favorite Pokémon overall! Quilava is also very cool/cute.

 

[Sheep]

Wartortle is easily my #1 <3 happy to see others vote it highly too! also Ivysaur. Not the biggest fan of the Kanto final starter evolutions, but those two mid stages are great.

 

[Ivysaur]

Ivysaur, duh.

This is the objectively correct answer.

 

[Megan]

Wartortle. Most middle stage starters look a little off to me, but Wartortle is actually alright.

 

[Lysander]

Either Servine or Grovyle for me

 

[Roni]

there's never been a single middle stage starter that i didn't wanna evolve. Quilava perhaps could be the closest bet to that? but Typhlosion's really grown on me over the years so eh.

 

[Hibiscus]

I really like Grovyle, it's just so cool.

 

[TwilightBlade]

So difficult to pick one, but I've rocked a Croconaw, Braixen, and Torracat on my in-game teams because I didn't want to evolve them. I also prefer Wartotle's design over Blastoise because of the fluffy tail.
