A practical first choice
Slowpoke has 110 base HP and starts with Confusion. Froakie has 108 base speed and starts with Water Gun. Scorbunny has a 1.09 base attack multiplier and starts with Ember. These are role-specific recommendations derived from the starter data, not tested overall winners.
You can reject the personality result
The personality quiz suggests a partner, but the game lets you choose another. All 29 starters are available through that choice. You do not need to spend gacha tickets to select a different starter.
Plan your first evolution
Ember and Water Gun need the run Power (Attack) card; Confusion needs Reflexes (Cooldown). Reach the move’s level cap, collect the required run card, then take the gold evolution card. Permanent menu upgrades do not satisfy this requirement.
