Pick Your Starter!

[Devalue]

Grimmsnarl. Excels at support between Prankster, dual screens, and Spirit Break. Could also swap to physical setup between Bulk Up, Drain Punch, Leech Life, and Body Press against a Dark-heavy lineup.

Kecleon, Zorua, or Galarian Stunfisk?

 

[Roni]

Zorua. At least I have an evolution to look forward to. Illusion's also amazing if used properly.

Falinks, Scraggy, or Bellsprout?

 

[ReKoil]

Falinks, no second thought.

Hoppip, Pansage, Maractus

 

[Duck]

Hoppip

Slugma, Pansear, Numel

 

[Zeostar]

Numel

Luxray, Breloom, Aegislash

 

[Devalue]

Luxray. Performs the worst of the three. Ultimately plays favorites in this situation. Cannot go too wrong with Intimidate either (...hopefully).

Gothita, Seedot, or Croagunk?

 

[Roni]

I'm taking Croagunk. Best looking final evo of the three.

Skuntank, Girafarig, or Absol?

 

[Duck]

Skuntank, I guess.

Elekid, Magby, Smoochum

 

[Devalue]

Elekid. Prefers Magby's stats. Favors Elekid for Thunder Wave and Light Screen options. Dislikes Jynx's awful defense and typing, even with Nasty Plot available.

Heracross, Hawlucha, and Snorlax.

 

[ReKoil]

Snorlax
Never really like Heracross or Hawlucha

Pawniard, Grimer Alola, Nickit

 

[Roni]

I love the colors on Alolan Grimer, so I'll take it!

Bewear, Conkeldurr, Medicham

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

I'll get Bewear.

Dewgong
Cloyster
Lapras

 

[ReKoil]

Lapras

Purrloin, Numel, Minccino

 

[Devalue]

Minccino. Ought to be okay at the start, offensively. Enjoys a fast Encore user. Smiles at locking Pokemon into Fake Out. Considered Numel. Moves too slow for its defenses.

Yanma, Cubchoo, and Fomantis.

 

[Roni]

I'm picking Yanma purely for how good its evo looks.

Rhyhorn, Tangela, or Lickitung?

 

[ReKoil]

Rhyhorn, and I'll not evolve it past Rhydon.

Budew, Combee, Cleffa

 

[Roni]

Combee, as long as it's female~

Escavalier, Aggron, Ferrothorn

 

[ReKoil]

Aggron

Hoothoot, Porygon, Yungoos

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

I'll take Porygon, especially if I don't have to pay 9999 coins for it.

Sewaddle
Venipede
Joltik

 

[Duck]

Joltik, neat little bugger.

Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic
