The Best Starter For Tandor (Story)

[HuckebeinTheRaven]

Guess I'm invisible.... Oh well.

This is certainly true, but as you noted, this is primarily meant to be a guide for the best starter for the story, not PvP competitive play, where movepools to counter both the starters they are weak to and further threats are somewhat disregarded.

This was meant more to highlight their benefits in (story) game, and as I also noted, it wasn't meant to be a criticism of the others. The actual viability gap that I calculated between the three was separated by decimal amounts, nowhere near whole numbers, and any pokemon can be viable in-story with a decent moveset and (and this is more necessary for some than others) good EV investment. But, based in resistances, strengths, weaknesses, moves that are likely to be used in-story, and other such factors, I came to the conclusion that Orchynx was statistically slightly better in the story game.

Perhaps that's more what I did wrong here, as this section does lend itself to Metagame matchups and viability, and this is more meant to be a "best for the story" guide. I'll amend the topic title, and if the powers that be see fit, they can move this to a more appropriate location.

Thank you for not taking my suggestions the wrong way, my fellow Uranium mate! I understood your intent behind when writing this guide right away, but felt that I needed to further clarify the matter for trainers that read your thread, both seasoned veterans and youngems. Their are two sides to every Pokémon game, after all.

Don't worry, Fluent, you're not invisible, check your PMs

And as for Windos, no problem. Your concerns were entirely valid and I had overlooked that particular detail when setting up all this, so it was entirely fair to bring that up and make sure that it was clarified, so thank you for that! As has been mentioned before, this section does lend itself more to the Metagame than anything else, so that's more or less my bad there, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. If you or or one of the other moderators thinks there is a better spot for it, feel free to move it.
