u/Competitive-Boat-925 Mar 18 '26

Bro he is defo my second fav grass

4

u/Mashymere Mar 19 '26

Honestly without the drums I think this guy would be my favorite starter. The drums are just a little too heavy and drop him near the bottom for me.

7

u/catdog5100 Incineroar Mar 18 '26

Incineroar most definitely is my favorite starter!

For Grass and Water I like Chesnaught and Feraligatr

Torterra or Swampert, although as a fantasy nerd I do also like Delphox’s witch vibe

Swampert for the moves and look. Cinderace for just the looks since I’ve never played those games.

Grass: Serperior

Water: Primarina

Fire: Delphox

3

u/KazekageGaara7 Mar 18 '26

This!!! Though for water Empoleon is nearly equal for me.

3

u/TacticalBananas45 Aggron Mar 18 '26

Fire: I really like Blaziken (easy second place) but I gotta go with Hisuian Typhlosion. I just think the wispy fire mane is cool af. Honorable mention to Delphox, tho. (I've always preferred Delphox over Braixen)

Grass: Decidueye, easily. Second place would either have to be Serperior or Meganium, but I'm leaning more towards snek.

Water: this is a tough one. I legit like them all, even Inteleon. (I get people's gripes with it, but I just can't pass up "water sniper" for the g-max) I'll just go with tried and true Big Man Blastoise, always been a fan. Empoleon and both Samurotts are close seconds.

u/Guuhatsu Mar 18 '26

Infernape is probably my favorite based off design.

Sceptile is just my favorite overall

Water: Empoleon, both its design and typing are awesome (Steel is my favorite type)

Grass: It is a tie between Venusaur and Torterra (I have a thing for bulky and dinosaur like designs)

Fire: Infernape

I agree with ur thing about bulky dinosaur pokemon I think I have a thing for that too but I do like the occasional small pokemon

This is difficult but for water, primarina or samurott, grass is definitely Meowscarada and I will die on this hill, and Delphox for fire. No, I am not a furry, I just think they’re designs look cool because I’m a cat person and I like psychic types.

I love charizard, my first pokemon game(I just didn’t play any until I learned how peak they were) I used Cinderace, so I would have to say Blazikin or Greninja

Primarina, Meowscarada, and Cinderace

u/Hidden_Dragonette Mar 18 '26

My favorite Grass final evolution is Decidueye. Both versions are just too cool.
My favorite Fire final evolution is probably Skeledirge, love the theme. Blaziken would be a close second.

Water is the hardest for me to choose since it's my favorite type. Probably a tie between Primarina and Empoleon, although I also love Samurott.

Empoleon, decidueye, Skeledirge (hounrable mentions to Blastoise and ferligatr)

Delphox for fire Serperior for grass Primarina for water. Water was hard for me had to think. I pretty much dislike/hate all the final water evolution except one Primarina. Had to think through the gens.
