Drampa won for one-stage Dragon starter. What three-stage Bug type would make the best Starter Pokemon? (Rules in post).
So, for this roster, the regional professor has decided to expand the choices for first time trainers. They're not just giving trainers one per type, they're giving them one per number of stages it can evolve. There are some limitations though:
- The stage number is how many times it evolves. So, 1 stage means it doesn't evolve, 2 stage means it evolves once, 3 stage means it evolves twice.
- The Pokemon MUST maintain the type they're nominated for at all times. This includes Evolution (for example, Larvitar can be nominated for Rock, but not Ground), Mega Evolution (for example, Aron can be nominated for Steel, but not for Rock), and temporary battle transformations (for example, Castform is completely disqualified. Sorry Castform).
- Pokemon can't win more than one type. So, if you decide to give Slowpoke the win for Water, it can't also win Psychic.
- The starter has to be in its base form (so Pikachu is out, but Pichu is fine).
- When we do the 3 stage Grass/Fire/Water ones, feel free to pick something outside the actual starters (or pick a starter. Do what you want).
- Remember, this isn't about what THE BEST Pokemon are for each category, it's about what would make a GOOD STARTER. These are Pokemon being handed out to new, fledgling trainers. So, maybe think twice before giving them something super strong/dangerous/aggressive etc.
Anyway, let's get into it.
