Best Starter: Galar

These starters, for me, seem to be the most even. Though from looking at some other posts, i think scorbunny has a good chance.
Grookey
Sobble
Scorbunny

I dislike the scorbunny line.
I really like sobble but it has terrible evolutions
I'm not really a fan of grookey but its next forms are great. Because of the next forms, Grookey has my vote.

This is hard because I love both Sobble and Scorbunny equally. I choose Sobble though since Scorbunny is more popular.

I like Scorbunny itself, but the evolutions are awful. I hate the other starters in their entirety, so I guess my vote is for Scorbunny.
Gen VI and gen VIII are easily the worst batch of starters.

Sword and Shield in general are disliked. The starters are just one facet of it.
