About Starter Pokemon

Starter Pokemon are the first Pokemon you receive at the beginning of each game. They form the foundation of your team and are typically strong, reliable partners throughout your journey.

Type Triangle: Most generations follow the Grass/Fire/Water type triangle, where each type has an advantage over another, creating strategic variety in team building.

Evolution: All starter Pokemon evolve twice, typically at level 16 and level 36, reaching their final powerful forms that can compete at the highest levels.

Fan Favorites: Charizard, Blastoise, Greninja, and Cinderace are among the most popular starter Pokemon, beloved for their designs and competitive viability.
