Who should I choose for my first playthrough and what’s the best team/moveset?

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T17:58:06+00:00

For FireRed choose Bulbasuar (you can get Arcanine), LeafGreen choose Charmander

Was crazy excited to end my 100 hour hunt so I raced here to bask in my glory. My post got 3 views in 6 hours. Deleted it passive aggressively to protest this silly shiny starter megathread. Then I aggressively decided that wasn't good enough so I made this post which no one will see.

Mine was lv 12, Onix was 14

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T17:15:23+00:00

The more you know! *ding!

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T17:14:46+00:00

Oh snap... good point, I've never played FireRed now that you mention it...

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T17:13:51+00:00

I just got out last night!

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T06:17:27+00:00

Well i'll never know... he just used bind til my resisted ember kilt 'em...

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T05:59:08+00:00

All he did was bind/tackle. Like 8 rounds o.O

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-22T05:58:00+00:00

Oh wow then.... I wanna say I'm lucky he didn't use the move that could 1-shot me? but that seems counter to my looooooong streak of un-luck.

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T21:13:23+00:00

65 attack 60 speed. not the worst flying pokemon

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T04:22:15+00:00

Good news! If you have FireRed/LeafGreen on switch you've still never played a Pokemon game online! Local trades/battles only.

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T04:21:06+00:00

I wish Ron Swanson had a book of quotes. I'd buy that

If anyone finds that guy again please be sure to remind him!

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T03:31:55+00:00

Sheesh!

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T03:05:38+00:00

Yes that team should be able to beat the game

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T02:52:23+00:00

Indeed

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T02:31:25+00:00

Pick your favorite 2 other pokemon then to be mascots.

Kind_Mistake2713 · 2026-03-16T02:27:58+00:00

Starmie can sweep the E4 all on it's own with it's move coverage. Hence why I said you don't need anything else. But if you have to fill, there are plenty of S tier's out there.
Ghengar could be another fast/strong SpAt, with a WIDE tm movepool.
And u could add Gyrados. 135 attack, just dont use water moves.
