Cobblemon has taken the Minecraft modding community by storm, and has quickly become the best Pokemon mod in Minecraft.
Although it’s very new to the scene and is missing a lot of features, the art style more than makes up for this.
The developers are actively working to improve the game, adding new Pokemon and mechanics every few months.
If you’re looking to install Cobblemon and start playing, then you’ll need to know the best starter Pokemon in the game!
I will always recommend people choose the starter that relates to them the most. For those who can’t choose, this is the perfect list to help you out.
10) Turtwig
Type: Grass
Turtwig is a starter Pokemon that is beloved by fans across the world.
Its final evolution is Torterra, a Grass/Ground type Pokemon with few weaknesses.
Such a type combination is very effective for covering a wide variety of enemy types. It also looks awesome too, although it favors defensive stats over offensive stats.
9) Torchic
Type: Fire
Another popular starter Pokemon, Torchic is super cute and eventually involves into the powerful Blaziken.
Torchic will easily deal with a variety of Pokemon early on, as well as serve you well during its final evolution.
Having access to both Fire and Fighting attacks with STAB (same type attack bonus) is invaluable as it frees up a lot of room in your team for other types.
8) Chimchar
Type: Fire
My personal choice for Cobblemon, the combination of Fire and Fighting gives plenty of team-building options as I build up my PC boxes.
Eventually evolving into Infernape, Chimchar is perfect for players who want a fast, highly offensive starter Pokemon.
It learns Mach Punch early on, as well as Flame Wheel. Depending on the types of Pokemon available in your spawn area, this can allow you to reach a super high level before you venture out further.
7) Totodile
Type: Water
While not technically available in-game yet, Totodile will be available in the upcoming Friends and Farm update.
This update aims to overhaul a lot of the game’s features, as well as add tons of new Pokemon.
Widely regarded to be a fan favorite, Totodile is an excellent starter Pokemon, evolving to Feraligatr at level 30.
With stats primarily focusing on Attack and defensive stats, it can be a great beater for your team.
6) Bulbasaur
Type: Grass
One of the original starter Pokemon, Bulbasaur is a powerful grass-type Pokemon with good stats across the board.
Evolving into Venusaur at level 32, a poison and grass type, gives plenty of team-building opportunities.
Of the 3 original starter Pokemon, Bulbasaur tends to be the most overlooked. Don’t let this discourage you, though, as Bulbasaur is always a great choice!
5) Treecko
Type: Grass
Treecko boasts a high speed stat, which only gets higher when it eventually evolves into Sceptile at level 36.
While the Treecko line is a pure grass-type with no secondary type, it is still a formidable choice due to its stat distribution.
Lots of Sp. Attack and Speed make it a strong contender for the best offensive starter Pokemon in Cobblemon!
4) Squirtle
Type: Water
Sporting strong defensive stats, Squirtle eventually becomes Blastoise.
While this line may be slow and have fairly low HP, it makes up for this by featuring high DEF, Sp. DEF, and good Attack/Sp. Attack.
You can use Squirtle to add some beefiness to your team, while still retaining a solid damage output.
3) Cyndaquil
Type: Fire
Cyndaquil is another Johto starter that is not currently in the game, but will be available soon.
Cyndaquil’s final evolution, Typhlosion, is also highly regarded for its high Special Attack stat and access to powerful moves like Eruption.
Generally considered to be a cute and popular Pokemon, this can be an added bonus for players who enjoy collecting Pokemon for their personal favorites.
Overall, Cyndaquil’s fire typing, strong move pool, and likable design make it a popular and solid choice as a starter Pokemon in Cobblemon!
2) Charmander
Type: Fire
Arguably the most popular starter Pokemon in every game, not just Cobblemon.
Charmander is one of the most recognisable Pokemon and for good reason, it evolves into the incredible Charizard.
As well as possessing good stats for a starter Pokemon, Charmander’s final evolution is a Fire/Flying type with a diverse movepool and good stat spread.
I can see this Pokemon being the go-to starter for many people.
1) Mudkip
Type: Water
Mudkip may be the best-starting choice based on the typing of its full evolution, Swampert. As it is only weak to Grass and can learn Ice Punch to deal with Grass-type Pokemon.
Also capable of learning Earthquake, it has a wide variety of moves to cover almost every type in the game.
A low base speed stat will mean it doesn’t always get to attack first, but it does come with some bulky stats by default.
Additionally, Swampert is even immune to electric attacks, which is crazy for a water-type Pokemon!
Overall, no other starter Pokemon in Cobblemon is as useful as Mudkip due to its evolution line and move pool.
