Pokemon Fire Starter Tier List

gamerant.com:

One could argue that Fuecoco and Sprigatito are the most popular starters coming out of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, at least based on the one trailer it has had thus far. Fuecoco’s popularity hinges on its design almost entirely, though, and Sprigatito’s popularity is based on what the grass cat starter can be associated with.

Yet, in just about every generation like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the Fire Starter does prove to be pretty popular. There was one major issue for a few generations, but otherwise, several Fire Starters have a special place in many trainers’ hearts. It’s hard to say that any one of them is definitively the best, but their design and typing often play a major role. Stats, at least here, will serve a tertiary role.

Gen 3: Torchic, Combusken, and Blaziken – Ironically, Torchic and Blaziken are what began the Fire/Fighting starter trend, if because of how cool Torchic and Blaziken Are. Their design carries them far, its typing gets a pass here since it was the first one, and its stats make sure
