It's that time yet again! This time we will pick a randomized starter from Kalos. If we had the normal starters, my choice would be Froakie. I like Fennekin too but I do not like its final evolution at all. Chespin is just-okay, I guess. Anyway, because the Kalos pokedex is in 3 parts, I will do something a bit different than with the other times. I will take the first number from the first part of the pokedex. The second number will be from the second part of pokedex and the third will be from the third part of the pokedex. For instance, if I had 1, 2, and 3 as my choices then it would be Chespin (#1 in the first part of the pokedex), Drifblim (#2 from the second part of the pokedex), and Trapinch (#3 in the third part of the pokedex). I think this is fair and I hope I explained it properly.
Okay, let's get to it! My numbers are: 55, 110, 107 or Carvanha, Dedenne, and Spinarak. Carvanha is a Water/Dark type. Dedenne is an Electric/Fairy type. Spinarak is a Bug/Poison type. Carvanha evolves at level 30 into a Sharpedo. Its move set is okay but it does not learn any Water moves by level up (below level 30). It can learn Surf and Dive so that makes up for it. It is immune to Psychic type attacks but is weak to Electric, Grass, Fighting, Bug, and Fairy. Dedenne does not evolve and its move set is also okay but it doesn't learn a Fairy type attacking move by level up until level 42. It is weak to Poison and Ground but immune to Dragon attacks. It can only learn 1 HM: Cut. Spinarak evolves at level 22 into an Ariados. It is weak to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock. It's move set is okay and it doesn't learn any HMs.
Since Fairy typing is in this generation, we have to take that into account. Dedenne is good for Dragon types but the fact that it doesn't learn any Fairy attacking moves until later isn't so good. It also doesn't learn any Fairy type TMs. Why is that, Game Freak?! Anyway, it does learn some good Electric type moves so that's a plus. Spinarak is evolves quickly but all Bug moves will be pretty weak (this is the gen before the Bug typing got its much-needed buff). Carvanha can learn helpful HMs and despite its Fairy weakness can be quite useful. Hmm... this is a tough one. I think in this case, I will choose..... Dedenne. My reason is that it has few 2x weaknesses and can handle any Dragon type (once it learns that Fairy type attacking move). Its Electric attacks will be useful and I can teach it Cut if I really need to do so. If the Fairy typing did not exist, then it would have been Carvanha, but I don't want to risk getting taken down by a Dazzling Gleam early in the game. So, it's decided: Dedenne is our choice!
I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. Leave a comment below telling me your choice of randomized starter and why. Have a good weekend, and as always: keep on gaming!! :)
