Best Starter 9

Another reason I chose Fuecoco is the final typing. Fire/Ghost is pretty good, even if Ceruledge shares it but is exclusive to Violet so I didn't have that opportunity on Scarlet. Water/Fighting isn't bad but if it was so good, Poliwrath would see more use. Also Water Type and Fighting Type competition is fierce, including the Violet Aqua Breed Tauros) and finally Grass/Dark really only shines in Gen 3. Can't bring myself to use it in Gen 9 when viable Bug and Fighting types exist to counter it, including a Unova Bug that would rip it to shreds.

The Fuecoco line is the only one I like all the way through. It starts cute and derpy and evolves into a gator in a sombrero, then a ghost crocodile singer.

The other two I like their base forms, but the second they evolve they lose all their appeal to me.

Cats... there isn't much you can do 😽
