Starter Pokémon for Scarlet & Violet
Which starter to choose?
Sprigatito
is the Grass-type Starter Pokémon for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and is
described as a "capricious, attention-seeking Grass Cat Pokémon." It
looks like a pastel green cat with darker, warm green accents, with
fluffy cheeks and tail. Its eyes are a dusty rose. Sprigatito's Ability,
Overgrow, is exclusive to Grass-type Starter Pokémon and their
evolutions. It powers up Grass-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low.
Sprigatito is the fastest of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Starters and
it's a
Physical Attacker.
Quaxly
is the Water-type Starter Pokémon for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and is
described as an "earnest and tidy Duckling Pokémon." It looks like a
small white duck with a yellow beak, but with light blue (leaning toward
cyan) feet. Quaxly's eyes are blue, and the light blue feathers atop its
head look like a hat with a white symbol that could resemble the letter
W, waves, or wings. Quaxly has the highest Attack stat of the
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet starters, and its defenses and speed are
between Fuecoco and Sprigatito's.
Fuecoco
is the Fire-type Starter Pokémon for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and is
described as a "laid-back Fire Croc Pokémon that does things at its own
pace." It looks like a happy, chibi bipedal croc with large feet and
small arms. Fuecoco is primarily orange-red with yellow accents and a
cream face and under-belly. Fuecoco sort of looks like a chili pepper.
Fuecoco is the most defensive of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet starters
and is a Special Attacker.
