There are three black and white starters. In America they are known as Oshawott the water starter, Tepig the fire starter, and Snivy which is the grass starter. In Japan they are known as Mijumaru (Oshawott), Pokabu (Tepig), and Tsutarja (Snivy. These three are all new Pokemon of generation V. Oshawott (Mijumaru) is based on an otter. Oshawott evolves into Dewott once you level it up to level 17. And then turns into Samurott at level 36. It is number 007 in the Unova pokedex. Its ability is called Torrent, that is when a Pokemon with Torrent uses a Water-type move, the power will increase by 1.5× if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining. In the game when you start out with Oshawott it is rare you will get a female. As the ratio of male to female is 87.5 to 12.5.
Tepig (Pokabu) is based on a pig. Tepig evolves into Pignite at level 17. Then it evolves into Emboar once you level Pignite up to level 36. It is number 004 in the Unova pokedex. Its ability is called Blaze which is when a Pokemon with Blaze uses a Fire-type move, the power will increase by 1.5× if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining. In the game when you pick Tepig as your starter you will probably get a male as it has the same male to female ratio as Oshawott.
Snivy (Tsutarja) is based on a snake. Snivy evolves into Servine at level 17. Then into Serperior at level 36. It is number 001 in the Unova pokedex. Its ability is called Overgrow which is When a Pokemon with Overgrow uses a Grass type move, the power will increase by 1.5× if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining. The male to female ratio is still the same as Oshawott’s and Snivy’s. I advise to pick Oshawott in the game because it is hard to get a good water type Pokemon. But whatever starter you decide to pick, good luck!
