    Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble.

    The starters we can choose Friday, most of the people know. I originally wanted to choose Scorbunny, but the problem is that I want Chandelure in my team as wel. Two Fire types doesn't look smart. Sobble evolution... I don't like it at all. Grookey's evolution looks cool and Scorbunny too. A grass type is possible not so good, because it feels like water pokémon are rare after looking to the Galar map. This is still a guess.

    So my playing team with a vacant starter:
    - Starter?
    - Gardevoir ( fairy/psychic) (or Zacian (fairy/steel))
    - Chandelure (ghost/fire)
    - Corviknight (steel/flying)
    - Dracovish (water/dragon)
    - Morpeko (dark/electric)

    My possible battle team:
    - Gardevoir ( fairy/psychic) (or Zacian (fairy/steel))
    - Chandelure (ghost/fire)
    - Corviknight (steel/flying)
    - Drednaw (water/ground)
    - Pangoro (Dark/fighting)
    - Dracozolt (electric/dragon)

    Their is not enough known for a battle team, but I still wanted to try something.
    My main question is which starter would be the best pick for my team?
    I hope their are other opinions. Is this team a good start? I know their is a lack of information, but thinking on beforehand can help.

  • Grookey seems like your best bet to me, especially if you're not a fan of Sobble's evolution, already have a fire type to take Scorbunny's place, and won't have a grass on any of your possible teams. Go for it imo! You already have two cool waters that you may use anyway. 👍

  • There's still a Water Gym and a bunch of water types - just not quite as much as other regions. Grookey will probably be fine.

    Moved your thread to this new section, btw.
