I was wondering which starter I should choose. I know I am going to get a Nidoking, so I don't want another poison,so Vensaur is out. Also, I want a good legendary dog. I want Raikou, but Blastoise isn't very good. So, if I pick Charizard, I get Suicune, but that leaves two water weaknesses on my team. Do you see my dilemma?

Blastoise not good! No, just no.

check his nature before you save get one that raise's sp.atack and teach him ice and water moves.

Charizard. thats it charizard. Because u use master ball on suicune because raikou is better but blastoise is worse than raikou is better

haha blastoise can takeout either of the starters because hes ice (Vensaur) and water (Charizard). Theres no getting around it he owns your life.

uhhh dart fan ur wrong. charizard's fly can dodge any except swift. say u use hydro cannon but charizard is faster it can fly and leave u defenseless

And when charizard comes down from flying blastoise can use a water move and kill charizard.

That is not true. You don't use fly on Charizard, and if you did come down from fly, you might not be ohko with surf. Also, you teach it sunny day, to help with waters and to rip through anything with flamethrower. Anyways, I think Ill go with Charizard, since Blastoise does suck too much. To me, those 105 base sp defense, and 100 base defense, plus crap sp attack(Blastoise) does not even come close to 115 both defenses, and calm mind and 90 base special attack(Suicune). Plus, I can use my good ol' Charizard that I used back in the R/B/Y days.

It all depends on the trainer. Me I can make a slowking faster then a voltorb its really not that hard.

So basically the start you should get is the one that is best for you. If you dont really train your other pokemon that well go with charmander.

If your just starting and need someone good aganist the first few badges go with bullby. If you a good trainer and you dont want the weak grass type or the over powered(and beatable) fire type go with the water type.

Articone i said hydro CANNON not hydro PUMP. hydro cannon forces him to recharge like hyper beam, blast burn, and frenzy plant. and yes charizard can learn fly i have a lvl 74 charizard myself with dragon claw,fly,blast burn, and flamethrower

I never said he couldn't learn fly. But, that moveset is awful and you never teach poor ol' Zard Fly. His attack isnt good enough and Fly just sucks.

Fly can actually be good. And Zard is almost ALWAYS used as a physical sweeper, due to belly drum. Venesaur is, to be honest, a crappy Pokemon. Blastoise is an awesome Tank. Pick your choice: Crap, Physical sweeper, or tank.

I don't have the ability to get belly drum. I have a physical sweeper, Nidoking, and Fly does suck. Also, this is in game, not netbattle, so those strategiesa dont work so well.

Fly is awesome u will need it to win many battles like Spoiler:
