Ranking guide

How to use this Pokemon starter tier list maker

Build a personal ranking around the qualities that make one starter a lasting favorite, then use the generation filters to compare each regional trio before finalizing the full board.

  1. 01

    Start with design and personal attachment, including how strongly each starter represents its type and region.

  2. 02

    Compare starters within the same generation before judging how they hold up against favorites from other eras.

  3. 03

    Review the finished tiers for nostalgia bias, replay value, and any close choices worth settling with a friend challenge.

Pokemon Starters tier list criteria that keep the board consistent

  • Personal attachment and design
  • First-playthrough memories
  • Replay and nostalgia value rather than one battle format

Roster freshness

Current through released Generation 9 starters

This template covers all 27 base starter Pokemon released across Generations 1-9. The official Pokemon Winds and Waves site has announced Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua for a 2027 release; they remain outside this released-roster page until launch and asset review.

How versioned Pokemon Starters links stay readable

This page uses template revision 1. Built-in items have stable IDs, so a share or challenge link can restore their tier positions without embedding image files. If a future released roster changes, it receives a new revision instead of silently changing an older link.

Pokemon starter tier list maker FAQ

What is included in this Pokemon starters tier list?

The template includes all 27 base Grass, Fire, and Water first partners from the nine core generations.

Does this rank battle strength?

No. Your board is personal by default. The optional reference take is about design, memories, and replay value.

Can I rank every evolution stage?

Yes. Open the separate 81-item Pokemon Starter Evolutions template.

Why are the Gen 10 starters not included?

Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua are announced for Pokemon Winds and Waves in 2027. This page tracks released Gen 1-9 starters and will not mix announced characters into the released roster before launch and asset review.
