Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Best Starter Pokemon To Choose

Pokemon Legends Z-A will be the next mainline Pokemon game to hit the shelves, and it'll also be the first in the series to release on the Nintendo Switch 2. 

Legends: Z-A offers players a surprising selection of starter Pokémon, and we're going to run over the best choices.

Here's what we know. 

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Best Starter Pokemon To Choose 

Pokémon Legends Z-A is aiming to expand the model that was set by Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and the battle system is certainly getting some upgrades.

With the starter Pokemon being Tepig, Totodile, and Chikorita, it may not be the flashiest group of Pokemon, but they're ones that each have their own strengths. 

For Legends: Z-A; there isn't really a conscious choice for the best starter right now, but if we had to recommend one, it has to be Totodile. Water-type Pokemon are usually amongst the safest bets for starters.
