The beginning of your journey! Professor Elm gives you a choice between three starters, with Lyra taking the starter with a type disadvantage against yours, while your rival steals the starter with the type advantage against you. All three starters are viable, but Totodile is typically preferred for its Sheer Force ability that synergizes well with a Life Orb. Mom is always available at home should you need to save or withdraw money. Do say goodbye to her before you leave on your great adventure!
