Basquirt, the Hatchling Pokemon (Basilisk+Squirt)

Water

Ability: Torrent

Basquirt is always trying to get stronger. It spends all day swimming on the water's surface to increase leg strength.





It evolves into Bascyth at lv18, and Tidevern at lv38. Tidevern is a Water/Fighting type. Basquirt's line is based on the basilisk. Basquirt is the fastest starter, and Tidevern has decent offensive stats in both the Physical and Special department, although its Special Attack is higher. The most offensively-inclined of the starters.





Pygmoss, the Swamp Pig Pokemon (Pig+Moss)

Grass

Ability: Overgrow

Pygmoss rolls around in the mud to help its grass grow. It's a popular pet.



Pygmoss evolves into Hogrow at lv16, and Boarest and lv36. Hogrow is a large bulky warthog-like Pokemon with a thick twisted tail made of a thorny vine, and a large mohawk of grass. Boarest is more slender, with longer legs. It has serrated tusks and a spiky tree trunk on its back, as well as a large amount of grass. Hogrow and Boarest are Grass/Ground types. Yes, they are pigs. But, this Pokemon was designed long before Tepig was announced. Hell, these starters have been around since before Gen 4. So, I'm keeping my starter a pig no matter what. Pygmoss is the slowest starter, but has good HP, Attack, and Defense. However, its Special stats are lacking.





Scorslyce, the Fire Scorp Pokemon (Scorpion+Slice)

Fire

Ability: Blase

Scorslyce fires a precise and narrow stream of fire from its tail. It's a popular Pokemon for welders.



Scorslyce evolves into Knyflare at lv14, and Incyneraze at lv34. Incyneraze is a Fire/Steel type. Knyflare has one blade arm and one pincer, with a metal blade going down the middle of its head. It has a 3-pronged tail which is on fire. Incyneraze has four arms, two blades and two pincers. It has six strong legs resembling those of Metagross, and a flaming spike ball for a tail. Scorslyce is fast and hits hard in the Physical department.
