When you choose one, that Pokémon will become your starter Pokémon, and Barry will automatically select the one with a type advantage over yours. Choosing the correct starter Pokémon for your style of battling is an important choice | When you choose one, that Pokémon will become your starter Pokémon, and Barry will automatically select the one with a type advantage over yours.

Turtwig, the Turtle Pokémon, is a solid choice. Turtwig evolves into {{p|Grotle}} at Level 18, and then Torterra at level 32. Turtwig is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, and {{p|Torterra}} is a Grass/{{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon. Torterra has great Attack and Defense, but low Special Attack and Speed. If you don't rely on Speed to win, and like physical attacks, this Pokémon is a good choice for you. It gets {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Crunch}} pretty early on, and Earthquake eventually. Torterra also gets Wood Hammer from the Move Tutor. Another good move for Torterra is Curse, which boosts its Attack and Defense, its two best stats, while decreasing its Speed, which is already very low. It also gets {{m|Synthesis}} for healing itself. For TM moves it gets {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Return}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and a wide range of other moves. Also it gets TM {{m|Rock Polish}} to sharply boost its Speed every time it is used, which helps patch up Torterra's horrific Speed stat. {{m|Swords Dance}} is also good to sharply boost the Attack stat, but you should choose to use either this ''or'' Curse— not both. It can learn {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}} for [[HM]] moves, which will help on your adventure. Torterra does have a major weakness to {{type|Ice}} attacks, so be wary of that. In any case, Turtwig does quite well at the Gyms for the most part and is a very good choice. | Turtwig, the Turtle Pokémon, is a solid choice.
