Something that has been happening since the first Pokémon video games is that players are given the opportunity to choose between three different Pokémon, so in Pokémon Legends: Arceus it will be the same decision to make. choose a starter pokemon.
In the following guide we will review the strengths and characteristics of each to try to help you in this important election.
What is the best starter Pokemon to pick?
Before going on to talk about each initial Pokémon, there is a very important detail to take into account and that is the fact that none of them is the best of the three. They are all special for one reason or another and will be very useful to you at various points in the adventure. In addition, they are all very powerful in general, so the most normal thing is that you choose the one you choose to accompany you throughout the game.
On this basis, it is important that choose the one you like the most, either because of its appearance, its evolutions or its types, taking into account what could be the other Pokémon that are part of your team. For example, if you like Buizel a lot, maybe Oshawott is not the best option to not have more than one Water-type Pokémon.
Even so, if you need more details before choosing one, we leave you with the information of all of them:
