Current recommendation
Do not pick a starter by name alone yet. The safest recommendation is to choose the starter that helps you clear early fights consistently, then use codes and catch support to collect alternatives before spending rare reroll or evolution resources.
Beginner pick rules
A good starter should cover the first map route, help with stable catches, and remain useful long enough to bridge into Boss eggs or hidden monster routes. If the starter falls behind quickly, keep it as a bridge instead of forcing rare fruits into it.
- Clear early fights safely.
- Avoid spending rare rewards before route value is proven.
- Switch investment to a Boss egg, hidden monster, or strong rare catch when one appears.
What to compare next
Compare starter names, early move behavior, map matchups, catch support, evolution path, and whether the starter stays useful after Beach and Iceberg routes.
