Thread starter quilava99 Start date Apr 9, Charmander Votes: 31 Chimchar Votes: 10 Total voters Charmander eventually evolve into Charizard! Recovery 8 Rocket Boss. Charmander, I'm sorry but I compleatly hate Chimchar. Charmander because it was my first fav. Chimchar because it's awesome.

Even Charmeleon is awesome. Assassin Wanna hug? Recovery 8 said:. Hejiru Rev up those fryers. Chimchar has the most disadvantages being weak to Roark and Crasher Wake, as well as not being able to use Monferno's Fighting-type attacks against Fantina.

Infernape turns things around in the back half with STAB advantages against Byron and Candice, however Torterra also has super effective moves against Byron and Volkner in spite of its x4 weakness to Candice. Piplup may be the most "average" starter to go with in terms of Gyms, but it gets a much better run through the Elite Four. Empoleon has advantages against Ground and Fire-types, while resisting Bug and Psychic-type attacks. It's also the easiest of the trio to teach Ice-type moves, making it stand a better chance against Garchomp.

Empoleon once again has an advantage because of Ice-type attacks and its Steal-type advantage against Weavile, meanwhile Infernape and Torterra both have disadvantages against Flying-types. The rival character Barry's team changes based on what starter the player chooses, so his level of challenge is harder to determine.

Another factor worth taking into consideration when picking a starter for the Sinnoh region is its inherent type breakdowns. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are infamous for a lack of Fire-types , leading to Flint having a particularly strange team.

While Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl appear to be bringing extra Fire-types from Platinum version over through its Grand Underground, Infernape may still be the best choice if a player is looking to build out a diverse squad. There's a wealth of choices including Roserade, Gastrodon, Bronzong, Garchomp, Magnezone, and Gliscor to fill the same niches as Torterra and Empoleon.

Beyond there being less Fire-types to replace Infernape, there also aren't a wealth of Fighting-types.
