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. It can even learn Rest and Sleep Talk for a nifty little unexpected one-two combo. Substitute and Double Team keep it going against harder-hitting foes, Rain Dance sets it up for an extra watery kick, U-turn allows it to dish a bit of pain on its way out when trouble arises, and Greninja can even learn some surprising twists like Grass Knot to wipe out heavier threats like Snorlax. Froakieįroakie relies less on debuffs and more on wider functionality. It isn’t the most exciting design, but it’s deeply refreshing to see a bipedal evolution be a little more majestic.
Pokemon X & Y were also preceded by a long trend of Fire-type Starters having a secondary Fighting-type trait, so Delphox ends up sticking out among nearly every other Fire-type Starter. 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.
