What is a better starting pokemon in diamond and pearl chimchar ot turtwig?

Question

explaine

Answer 1

chimchar..he has firepower bro. nothing..beats that.

Answer 2

Personally Chimchar is because there arent many fire pokemon obtainable in the Sinnoh , and you can find and train a wild grass pokemon just as strong as turtwig.

Answer 3

i would suggest turtwig. turtwig is grass type, which gives it lots of advantages.

what's wrong with piplup? :(

Answer 4

Chimchar because he has good attack and his evolutions look cool

A turtwig looks like a turtle with a plant growing out of it and its evolution has a tree

Answer 5

Alright I Would Recommend Chimchar Because A Decent Fire Pokemon Is Hard To Find And Chimchar Is One,I Chose Turtwig But I Had A Friend Trade Over A Chimchar For Me Because I Couldn't Get A Good Fire Type And Later on You Could Get A Roselia And train It In To A Roserade And If You Still Can't Decide Go To WWW.gamefaqs.com Or WWW.serebii.net

Answer 6

Chimchar because when he evolves into Infernape, he's really powerful and chimcar and and its evolved forms can beat more gyms

Answer 7

Chimchar. Turtwig isnt really that great cuz all it has are grass moves and the types of pokemon that are super effective to grass are like water n ground so yea... Chimchar --->Infernape has fire + fighting so those 2 types r hard to find in pearl and diamond

Answer 8

chimcar's evolved form infernape has higher speed and attack stat and can learn close combat and flare blitz and has good moves overall. and a solid typing.

turtwig's evolved form torterra, has higher defense, and special def stats.

it can learn good moves to like crunch, leaf storm, earthquake, etc.

infernape can take out torterra with any fire attack, but torterra can take out infernape with any ground or raock type attack. in the beginning, the gym leaders are easy to beat with turtwig, but chimchar has more potential later in the game

Answer 9

Chimchar is highly recommended by me because you can capture Heatran only after defeating champion league.

Answer 10

well turtwig and piplup are good at against the gym trainers but chimchar is awesome against the pokemon league so choose chimchar!

Answer 11

Despite what everyone else says i would have to choose turtwig. At lvl 36 after it evolves to torterra it starts to get some serious power.... EARTHQUAKE AT LVL 36! Chimchar is also a good choice but, in a balanced team what other grass type learns a powerful move like earthquake?

Answer 12

has anyone got a chimchar or piplup they could trade me ?

Answer 13

its pretty hard to get fire pokemon until the end of the game unless ya have an action replay, so chimchar is the best_ more speed and a better variety of attacks+piplup usually learns a lot of water attacks later on  CHIMCHAR!!!!
