Best Starter Pokemon - Pokémon BDSP
Get ready to embark on a journey where you choose your starter Pokemon.
Don't use the auto save function.
Then, before picking your starter Pokemon, save your game manually.
After the battle, you can confirm the stats and nature of your chosen Pokemon.
Chimchar is the best starter Pokemon for the Sinnoh region.
It's a good match against most of the important battles (i.e. gym leader, elite four, and team galactic).
When diamond and pearl were released, there weren't many fire-types to choose from.
Chimchar is a valuable addition to your team.
When it comes to battling, we also recommend getting adamant nature. It boosts the attack and lowers the SP. attack.
Chimchar is the perfect Pokemon to partner with a Budew early on.
The grass type Budew can cover Chimchar's weakness to water, rock, and ground types.
If you want a Budew, you can get one on route 204.
The first starter Pokemon to reach level 32 is turtwig.
It has access to early strong moves such as razor leaf and bite.
However, it's weak against the Poison-types of team galactic.
In the northern section of the map, there are a lot of ice-type Pokemon. In fact, more than half of the Elite Four are ice-type.
It is also the slowest of all starting Pokemon.
We recommend Adamant, because it boosts its Attack while lowering its SP. attack.
The final stage of Piplup is a water/steel-type Pokemon with strong defense.
It has an easier time fighting Cynthia's Garchomp.
However, once fully evolved, piplup is highly susceptible to fighting and ground attacks.
Piplup uses a lot of special attacks, so we recommend getting one with a modest nature.
Chimchar is a Pokémon that is recommended for you to pick.
No matter which pokemon you choose, there is no problem.
When you have a balanced team outside of your starting three.
There should be no problem with you finishing this game.
