In the short term, Grookey will be the best starter to pick, since it will be super effective in the second gym, and won't take added damage in the (easier) first gym.

Piplup definitely is my favorite gen 4 starter. Empoleon is so unique with its design and typing. Chimchar is my second favorite, and then Turtwig. Chimchar, the best option.

I'd probably go with Haxorus for an in game team, cause he has the highest attack stat of a non-legendary. and only has a 2x weakness to fairy. Competitively speaking, Garchomp and Salamence are the best imo, and both have their strengths and weaknesses, so no one is better than the other.

Can you get all three starter Pokémon without trading in Pokémon Sword and Shield? Unfortunately, you can only get one starter Pokémon natively in Pokémon Sword or Shield, and that's the starter Pokémon you choose at the beginning when Leon offers them to you.

Tepig is the best starter pokemon in pokemon black and white because it is the type of pokemon that when it reaches it's final evolve it can be your solo pokemon that can destroy all gyms in the Unova region that I have already done with it and it's an ideal starter that makes it easy for beginners to get stronger ...

Technically Chikorita would probably be the most optimal starter, since it gets Razor Leaf at level 8 whereas most Grass types who can learn it won't do so until you're almost at the Elite Four.

Chikorita is arguably the best choice for a support, and can learn ranged attacks. Lacks a bit of power, but makes up for it with bulk. Mudkip has movepool issues, Swampert is good at clearing rooms, but has attacks that hit teammates.

The Best Pokémon in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Incineroar (Fire / Dark-type) -- We broke down Sun and Moon's starter Pokémon and determined Incineroar – the final evolution for Litten – is quite a physical powerhouse.

Mudkip is 100% the best starter for Hoenn hands down. There are litterally like 3 Pokemon in the entirety of the Hoenn League (All of which are way at the end of the game where you could have a 1 single pokemon that can sweep them all INCLUDING SWAMPERT BECAUSE OF ICE BEAM) that are grass types.

['Oshawott is the most balanced choice of all three, having about equal levels of defense and attack.', 'Tepig is the more attack based starter and is best suited for an aggressive playing style.', 'Snivy has great defensive abilities which means it fits well for people who like to fight long and defensive battles.']
