![]() There's a clearer hierarchy elsewhere Froakie outpaces Delphox (and many Water-type peers) with its base speed of 71, letting it outrun both Fennekin and Chespin with no problem. But physical Grass moves from Chespin's line will obliterate the Fennekin family in short order. On its own, this suggests a total wash when the trio gets together for some scrapes and bruises. The usual rock-paper-scissors approach to regional starters is exchanged for, well, paper-paper-paper. Kalos' "starter cycle" is abnormal: Grass/Fighting Chesnaught is canceled out by Fire/Psychic Delphox, who is in turn canceled completely by Greninja's Water/Dark. Several other fiery techniques have a calculated chance of burning the opponent as well, and Fire Spin traps foes in a hot enough vortex that it might as well be a sort of "ultra Burn." A smaller handful of learnable moves can inflict Confuse, which can mess things up for rough contenders like the Elite Four at a pivotal point in any fight.

In this sense, its overall utility isn't the best, but it does what it's designed to do to an admirable degree. Make no mistake, Leech Seed is available, but it doesn't really gel well with Chesnaught's modus operandi. Rather than tricky moves like Leech Seed to remain healthy or relying on an immense speed, Chespin instead is given tools to build up its stats and protect its health before slamming its opponent with physical moves. Fennekin comes out on top, if barely the blending of Fire/Psychic with enough Special Attack to frighten so many foes cannot be ignored. Winnerĭeciding this round's winner isn't an easy feat, as all three shine in their own way. Neither of its offensive stats are quite as high as Chesnaught's Attack and Delphox's Special Attack, respectively, but nor are they by any means terrible. ![]() Indeed, Sceptile and Inteleon are hot on its tail - and amusingly, so is Pokemon Yellow's unique Pikachu - but 122 topples their shared 120s for the crown. Froakieįroakie's evolutionary line has ample reason to celebrate: Greninja's Speed stat is the highest in starter Pokemon history. Fire and Psychic both host a plethora of special-based moves, leaving Delphox with no shortage of options. Delphox's sky-high Special Attack stat, in conjunction with an especially offensive typing combination of Fire and Psychic, makes it one of the most innately talented sweepers in X & Y's catalog. Fennekin takes a while longer to truly get going, but by the time it reaches its final stage there's no questioning its magic power. ![]()
