What Is The Best Gen 2 Starter Pokemon?
Here are all of the Generation 2 starters that you could have gotten and also some more details about each of them. This includes why you might decide to start your journey with each of them.
Chikorita
Chikorita is a pure grass type that you can select as your starter in the Johto region. It evolves into Bayleef at level 16, which is a pure grass type. It then evolves into Meganium at level 32, which is another pure grass type. If you were a fan of Bulbasaur in the original games, Chikorita is a fairly similar option.
In the anime, Chikorita has been used by several trainers. This includes Ash Ketchum, Casey, and Vincent.
Why Should You Choose Chikorita?
If you are looking for the hardest time beating the gym leaders in the Generation 2 games, then Chikorita is your best bet. The very first gym at Violet City is made up of flying type trainers, which grass is weak to. The second gym at Azalea Town is made up of bug type trainers, which grass is also weak to. This means that Chikorita is going to have the toughest time at the start of the Generation 2 games. If you like your playthroughs to be more challenging than it is the one to choose.
Cyndaquil
Cyndaquil is a pure fire type that you can select as your starter in the Johto region. It evolves into Quilava at level 14, which is a pure fire type. It then evolves into Typhlosion at level 36, which is another pure fire type. If you were a fan of Charmander in the original games, Cyndaquil is a fairly similar option.
In the anime, Cyndaquil has been used by several trainers. This includes Ash Ketchum, Jimmy, and Dawn.
Why Should You Choose Cyndaquil?
If you are looking for the easiest time beating the gym leaders in the Gen 2 games, then Cyndaquil is your best bet. Unlike Chikorita, Cyndaquil is super-effective against bug-types, which is the second gym. There is also Ilex Forest early on in the game, where you can easily train your Cyndaquil.
Later on in the game, Cyndaquil will be super effective in Olivine City, which is a steel type gym. It will also be super effective in Mahogany Town, which is an ice type gym. As you can see, it will be super effective for a few of the gyms.
Totodile
Totodile is a pure water type that you can select as your starter in the Johto region. It evolves into Croconaw at level 18, which is a pure water type. It then evolves into Feraligatr at level 30, which is another pure water type. If you were a fan of Squirtle in the original games, Totodile is a fairly similar option.
In the anime, Totodile has been used by several trainers. This includes Ash Ketchum, Marina, and Khoury.
Why Should You Choose Totodile?
In the Generation 2 games, Totodile is your middle option in terms of the difficulty level. There are no real advantages or disadvantages in the early game to using Totodile. There are also no real advantages or disadvantages later on in the game.
