Starters have an interesting dynamic in Gen IX of the Pokemon Series, and each of the partner Pokemon exhibits a strength and a weakness against each of its counterparts. For example, as a Water/Fighting type, Quaquaval is super-effective against Skeledirge’s Fire typing but weak against its Ghost-type status.
While the starter trio are the first new Pokemon you’ll encounter on your journey through the Paldea region; they won’t be the last. There are dozens of new Pokemon to discover in Gen IX of Nintendo’s popular franchise, with several new regional variants lurking in Paldea.
