    • I'd say empoleon(piplup) is the best as it learns decent moves and has good defence. I started with chimchar but it's rubbish and turtwig is only useful as a HM slave

    • Turtwig>Grass/Ground
    Chimchar>Fire/Fighting
    Piplup>Water/Steel

    Turtwig's a good physical wall. Chimchar's a good physical sweeper and Piplup is a good special wall/sweeper.

    • If you're asking if Turtwig's highest form (Torterra) can beat the other highest forms (Infernape and Empoleon), then each type can really beat any of the other types.

    Any Empoleon should have Ice Beam, which would faint most Torterra that aren't prepared, since Grass/Ground is 4x weak to Ice.

    Infernape would naturally have the advantage with Flare Blitz or Flamethrower, but Torterra would probably faint it with an Earthquake if it survived Infernape's initial attack.

    Empoleon would obviously want to use Surf on Infernape, but Infernape, the fastest of the 3, would get the first turn and would seriously dent, and could possibly faint, the part-Steel Empoleon with Close Combat.

    Besides, when comparing stuff like starters, you shouldn't ask "Which of these 3 would win if they went against each other?". You should ask "Which of these 3 would fit in with the other 5 Pokémon I plan on using?".

    I should point out that the Chimchar-line is the only fire-type, other than Ponyta, that you will be able to get before the Elite 4 without trading, so you may want to consider that.

    Don't go with which one's best, you should pick which ever you want. A good trainer can turn any pokemon into a strong/great pokemon.
