BEST STARTER POKEMON!

Most people think that the new starter pokemon from Black and White and Diamond and Pearl. As we look at the strong starters like Empolion and Emboar, we think they are totaly beast. But, if we look back to some of the original pokemon we find that the best starter pokemon is actulay Blastoise. He is only a water type, but that is what makes him strong. As a water type, he only has two weaknesses of lightning and grass. He can learn ice type moves (such as blizzard) so he can easily wipe out any grass type pokemon out there as most grass have very low speed. Lightning moves are still super affective, but any water or normal move does regular damage to the lightning type pokemon. So looking at that, Blastoise has only one weakness and still has really strong moves like hydro cannon, hydro pump, skull bash, blizzard, and giga impact.

Blast is not the best it is what yu like and trust me i know...

Blastoise is the best statistically. Venusaur has lame speed, attack, and has so many weaknesses I can't count that high.

Well, Samurott can learn those but they aren't super affective against blatoise. If Samurott can learn a grass or electric move I will be impressed lol

Swampert has a time 4 super affective move agianst him. You hit swampert with a grass type move it it is over for him.

Blastoise has some ok defence and special defence. Now hydro cannon and giga impact may not be the best moves in there due to making them recharge, but a moveset of blizzard, hydro pump, skull bash, and then maybe a tm of like earthqukae or something? thats powerfull.

underused doesn't mean weak. How can that be a bad moveset for him> What would you have for him?

I agree blastoise is a very powerful pokemon. But my favourite pokemon will always be Charizard.

Avatar of SazerX

To me Charizard is the best of the starters.

Avatar of doomrider4

I think he can....I will have to check. It would be nice if he could!

Avatar of doomrider4

lol that was in a pokemon episode. They use wierd logic. In a game it is like one water move and it is over for Charizard :).

Avatar of doomrider4

Very true....What would a good moveset me for swampert? I am trying to bread mine to start with a lvl 1......Any suggestions?

Avatar of SazerX

Depend on what game you are playing.

Blastoise is beast

Avatar of DefinitelyNotGM

Always the grass type. A lot of wild Pokémon you encounter are water types, more than any other type
