    I’m starting with Electric. Electric Pokémon have always been my favorite, and the one weakness also helps. I’d use my boy Yamper.

    @MonstaDash Cyndaquil is a popular pick. Honestly, I think he might be the most popular Fire starter if we take Competitive play out of the mix(then a certain cat from Gen 7 wins…). I won't lie that Fuecoco is growing on me, and I love its final evolution design.

    @Acornyo Very nice… having played Yellow version more times than I can count, I'm actually a bit sick of Electric type starters 😅 Immunity is such a pain to overcome.

    There is an ??? Arceus sprite. I think it still functions as a normal type, but it exists.

    If memory serves, Typeless attacks are basically treated as Normal(x1) damage against all Pokémon while receiving x1 Damage in return. In other words, they behave much like a Normal Type but without STAB and Offensive/Defensive liabilities. Would certainly be interesting to say the least if they were to add it as a 19th Type and a few existing Pokémon could fall into that category: Ditto, Mew, Arceus and Type Null/Silvally. Imagine Ditto having attacks besides Transform.

    Anyways, keep the replies coming.

    In the cards ditto has many moves. I think sl@p and some other very low ones.

    Tough to choose…

    I'm going Charcadet to get a Ceruledge!

    However, not going based off specific Pokémon I would go either Fire, Ghost, or Psychic.
