Should i get oshawott or snivy

He seems about the same as the previous grass starters. The fire pig starter doesnt seem too appealing to me for some reason. I guess because hes also fighting. User Info: pkmnpkmn. I would pick Oshawott simply because all water types besides it absolutely suck for ingame use, while a own tempo lilligant can become a major powerhouse with petal dance sleep powder, and petal dance.

Snivy is frail and weak but fast, and I don't care for its movepool too much. Oshawott has a better moveset, less weaknesses, and is stronger. Do you guys think horses remember things from when they were little? Oshawott all the way across the sky. How much mud could a mudcrab crab if a mudcrab could crab mud? FC: User Info: Lenoh. Perversion Snivy. Once you get Leaf Storm, gg. This is my story. Snivy has the fastest Speed stat compared to Tepig and Oshawott and can be seen before any of them evolve even when most of their stats are nearly identical.

The gap is even greater by the time they reach their final evolutions, so much so that Serperior's Speed is almost double that of Emboar's. Oshawott is a pure Water Type, and unlike Tepig never gets a secondary typing from any of its evolutions.

While Snivy shares this same feature, Grass Types are weak to five different Types whereas Water only has two Types that are Super Effective against it. This isn't even a trade-off since both Water and Grass are Resistant to four different Types. Not just that, but Water's only Weaknesses are to Grass and Electric Types both of which are fairly under-represented overall.

This makes Oshawott one of the safer picks due to its low amount of Weaknesses. In the competitive scene, power is king, and thanks to Emboar's devastatingly high Attack stat mixed with a great HP stat make it a solid pick for teams.

Snivy has an incredibly powerful Hidden Ability in "Contrary" which will raise its stats when they're meant to lower and vice versa. Snivy learns Grass, Poison and Normal moves naturally. They are an equal mix between Physical, Special and Status Effect attacks, which goes along perfectly with his stats.

Most of the TMs it can learn are defensive or stat boost moves but it does learn a few attacks. Almost all of those attacks fall into the above three types, but remember it CAN learn the Flying move Aerial Ace that always hits. As it evolves, Snivy can eventually learn Dragon Tail as well, which is another move outside its normal attack Types and something that can really surprise an opponent in battle.

Tepig has a wonderful array of moves that it can learn naturally. Normal, Fire, Poison, Rock and Dark attacks give Tepig the widest range of offensives types out of the starters and it means a savvy Trainer can have a tactical advantage over just about any Type.

Think about all the possibilities here. The fact Tepig has the lowest Defense and Special Defense out of all five generations of starters is balanced out here by the sheer combinations you can come up with for it!

Oshawott learns mainly Water and Normal moves naturally, but there are two odd standouts in the Bug attack Fury Cutter and the Fighting move Revenge. As it evolves it will also get the powerful Bug move Megahorn, making Oshawott a power Psychic and Dark destroyer.

Taking a Ground or Fighting attacks adds three more types it becomes super effective against and Flying would add another two. That particular moveset example would make Oshawott super effective against more than half the types in the game!

Try and come up with your own to see what you can do with a purely offensive death otter. So there you go. He has since retired from writing, but clearly shows up now and again. He has worked in video game journalism since and was also a paid consultant for Konami and The Pokemon Company.

They do not look bad at their first stage but when they evolve they look weird. I think I will just hack my game and give myself a Johto Pokemon as my starter. What kind of moves does Snivy learn in Pokemon Black? Which is a better name, Snivy or Tepig? What level should I evolve snivy? Which starter is best Snivy tepig or Oshawott?

Is Snivy better than Oshawott? Who is better oshawott or Tepig?
