Pokemon Starters

Every mainline Pokemon game opens with a choice between three starter Pokemon: one Grass type, one Fire type, and one Water type. You pick one, keep it, and build a team around it. The starter you choose is the first Pokemon you catch and usually the face of that generation.

The list below covers all 27 starters across Generations I through IX, from Bulbasaur in Kanto to Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly in Paldea. Click any starter to see its full stats, moves, evolutions, and game appearances.
