I personally find Treeko to be the best leader and Eevee the best partner, but it's your opinion. The only combinations I've played with are (Leader, Partner) Treeko, Eevee Piplup, Chikorita Treeko, Piplup Charmander, Eevee. That's all I know, but it's from all my Pokemon game experience, which counts for other games as well. Shinx learns Discharge, but other than that, not many good supporting or murder moves (what I call the moves that have the potential to "1 hit KO" most enemies) But they also end up with the best stats. Meowth doesn't learn very good moves until Faint Attack around Level 20, so if you want a good support Pokemon at the beginning of the game, don't chose Meowth. (Stair Sensor tells you the direction of the stairs if it wasn't obvious.) Although Eevee can learn the IQ Skill "Stair Sensor" quite early on as well. Since if she gets any less than 50% of her HP, she'll run away and not attack. Be careful if you have Eevee as a partner because it's ability, Run Away, can get quite annoying at times. But then again any combo will do, none are better than others, but I'm just saying my personal experience with mine. However, as she gets around level 35-40, only 2 of her stats increase by ONE when she levels up.Īnyway, this combo was great for me. Her IQ skills are great too, learning Acute Sniffer in the earlier stages of IQ, and stair sensor later so stupid dungeons like dark crater wouldn't be such a problem. Vulpix, on the other hand, has Imprison, helpful for outlaws/bosses, confuse ray, and some other ghost type moves and extrasensory, and TM Dark Pulse, which is really helpful for monster houses. Last move should be Razor Leaf to defend herself, or maybe a good PP move like Tackle or Body Slam (better because of more power + paralysis). She also learns Aromatherapy so clean out those heal seeds. She has the IQ skill Bodyguard and can learn reflect + light screen, and when you link them together, almost nothing can hurt her when she defends you. In her early levels her defenses skyrocket, then later on the attack + sp.
Most people think Chikorita is useless, but she acts as a really great bodyguard. My team is Vulpix (hero) and Chikorita (partner).
