Line 53: Line 53:
Cyndaquil is a good choice because it and its evolution is very fast and has high Sp. Atk, which makes Special-based moves much more powerful(Most Fire-type moves are Special-based, such as Flamethrower, Ember, Lava Plume and Eruption). Cyndaquil evolutionary line's Attack is bad, but the line only learns 1 Physical-based Fire-type move -- Flame Wheel, so it doesn't matter a lot. However, the evolutionary line's Defense and Sp. Def is also quite low, so if the foe launches a super effective move(Water-type, Ground-type or Rock-type move), the foe may knock Cyndaquil or its evolutions out in 1 or 2 shots.

Totodile is a fairly good choice since it's evolution can learn moves that covers different types(such as Superpower, Crunch and Ice Fang) and the above-mentioned shady guy will then choose Chikorita which can easily be beaten by Pidgey, or even Croconaw's Ice Fang. It's a shame that the Sp. Atk of Totodile and its evolution is low, which makes Special-based moves(Most of the Water-type moves are Special-based, such as Surf and Water Gun) deal much less damage. Also, strong moves like Aqua Tail and Superpower come late.

Chikorita is a defensive Pokemon. Its offensive side is not good. Although it can learn Petal Dance and SolarBeam, these strong Grass-type moves come late. However, it can learn Reflect and Light Screen, which can boost Defense and Sp. Def of the whole team for a few turns.
