The Grass, Fire, and Water types handily illustrate the type effectiveness mechanics of [[Pokémon battle]]s: Fire "beats" Grass (a Fire-type [[move]] deals double damage when attacking a Grass-type Pokémon, but a Fire-type Pokémon takes half damage from a Grass-type move), Water beats Fire, and Grass beats Water. This "rock, paper, scissors" relationship was illustrated in the instruction manuals of the original games. | The Grass, Fire, and Water types handily illustrate the type effectiveness mechanics of [[Pokémon battle]]s: Fire "beats" Grass (a Fire-type [[move]] deals double damage when attacking a Grass-type Pokémon, but a Fire-type Pokémon takes half damage from a Grass-type move), Water beats Fire, and Grass beats Water.

The 27 Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type first partner Pokémon are listed below. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} return as first partners that can be chosen by the player shortly after they first land in [[Hisui]]. | |||

Interestingly, the Kalos first partners also have a more broadly defined triangle in the secondary types of their final evolutions. They all still deal 2× damage offensively ({{t|Dark}} beats {{t|Psychic}}, Psychic beats {{t|Fighting}}, Fighting beats Dark), and most still receive ½× damage defensively (Psychic resists Fighting and Fighting resists Dark); but while Dark does not "resist" Psychic, it is still defensively advantaged since it takes no damage. | |||
