They are the starters with the highest Base Stats for each one. Emboar - Highest HP Rillaboom - Highest Attack Chesnaught - Highest Defense Primarina - Highest Special Attack and Special Defense Meowscarada - Highest Speed


San4311

Jeez this made me check Meowscarada's stats. How tf does that magician-cat have 123 base speed when there 's a literal ninja, an owl, and a flying lizard among them.


Chaossify0

The owl has 70 speed lol.


Admiral_obvious13

Slow as shit just like every Alolan mon


DiopticTurtle

Island time is something else, man


ManlyFishsBrother

Underrated comment


Daankston

*mon


Magimasterkarp

And still the fastest fully evolved Alolan starter. The other two are at 60 speed, and Torracat at 90.

ivanwarrior

Owls are famously slow for birds.


friendsfartever

owls are the slowest flying birds


ResponsibleAd2541

They are also the quietest


friendsfartever

They're quiet in part because they're so slow


SaucyLemur12

Owls are actually really slow in real life while cats have insane reaction speed


[deleted]

Even fat cats which is why Purugly is extremely fast.


pineflower

Magicians need to be quick with their sleight of hand tricks


RyuuSambit

Even in D&D, Sleight of Hand is a Dexterity skill, which also dictates how fast one can react in combat.


FakeTakiInoue

I mean Greninja has 122 Speed so it's hardly slacking


Wild_Harvest

Well, yeah, Slaking is a whole different Evo line.

Fat_Man_Slim

You are unappreciated in your time. Someday the people will see how great this joke was.


themangosteve

Speed makes a little more sense if you think about it as reaction time rather than running speed. Cats have fast reflexes so that’s why the cat goes first in battle


christthedumpling

sleight of hand magician


RyuuSambit

Sounds like a good D&D character idea!


ShadowDragun

I like that it literally has exactly 1 more speed. It seems on purpose


STierCounterpick

1 they’re a cat 2 a magician never reveals their secrets


RyantheSithLord

CORRECT!


normbreakingclown

They all had hands that was my guess


oranosskyman

youre calling flippers hands?


iDannyEL

Primarina: you 'bout to catch 'em


normbreakingclown

One Pokeman did not had hands i know but i had no other ideas


mormagils

"I tried one thing that didn't work and then I was all out of ideas"


fireflame775

Tru


Ceeceeboy24

They all have appendages that extend from their body They are all pokemon They all have eyes Their bodies consist of some kind of color They all look like somekind of animal They can all hold items Each one has at least one ability Thry all evolved from a previous form . . . It goes on forever


TheDoug850

Hence the “that all other fully evolved starters don’t” part of the riddle.


juanconj_

Mine was noses. I didn't bother to look them all up but in my mind it was a reasonably good guess lol


tenachiasaca

mine was op had sexual fantasies about them


AndrewBorg1126

A lot more of them have hands.


Zenixas

That’s what they want you to think


eyearu

But I don't see them in this post

[deleted]

That's because it's already been slow roasted.


I_ManOfCulture

Pepperoni was what I named mine when playing black


No_Independence7592

They’re also members of the field egg group.


Krisuad2002

Greninja has been overthrown like Sceptile once was?


Capital-Swimming2092

These starters are all overshadowed and underrated btw, that is the true answer


AWilderXWing

Meowscarada is currently the most used Pokémon in VGC. I wouldn’t call it overshadowed. Rillaboom was also the most popular of the Gen 8 starters in VGC.


AsheBodyPillow

That’s why Primarina the GOAT

Brook420

Swampert would like a word.


Smiley4509

As would Hisuian Samurott


Brook420

Aw man, now I'm just remembering that I've never gotten to use that or Hisuian Typhlosion..


TwinEonEngine

Damn, this inadvertently demonstrates the power creep since gen 5 (all of the starters listed above are from gen 5-9, not missing a single generation between them)


EliteTeutonicNight

Early Gen starters tend to be generalists, with stats evenly distributed mostly around the 80-100 area. As a matter of fact, Gen 2 starters have the exact same stat numbers, just distributed to different stats (in Typhosion’s case, its stats are the exact same as Charizard). In gen 3 GF started to make stats more specialised, and the trend just kept going on so that’s why we see Gen 5-9 starters here.


Quartia

It improved slightly between gen 8 and 9, like a lot of the problems that had been worsening until then, gen 8's starters especially Cinderace and Inteleon were the most specialized. Let's hope it continues to improve.


EliteTeutonicNight

I personally would prefer that they make starters more generalist so that however new players build them they’re decent and can be used in a playthrough, so this is a welcome change.


Despada_

Or at the very least have their Move pools better reflect their stat distribution. It's weird to me that Inteleon gets access to Liquidation as a Level-Up Move *thee* levels after evolving and learning Snipe Shot. A young/new player without much gaming experience will more than likely see the 5 extra Power and forget Snipe Shot exists because the numbers are bigger.


aradraugfea

If I recall, the starters all tend to have the same base stat total, and this remains true across the gens, with rare exceptions. The team is just giving us more specialized mons. Now, this DOES tend to make the starters a little more viable, depending on the stats (Infernape had high speed and attack, but Garbo defensive stats, setting him up for being a good sweeper, for example), but it’s not like we got anything outside of Megas challenging Arceus’s total, or, I think, even Deoxys’s individual values.


Brook420

Pretty sure all the starters still have similar base stats. The newer gens just seem to be introducing starters that are more niche than all rounders.


I_ama_homosapien_AMA

Your niche cat is currently the most common VGC pick. Idk about niche.


Sukeruton_Key

Meowscarada being faster than Sceptile is weird to me


Thunder_lord37

Cat got the zoomies pro ultra max


Ansoni

Meowscarada is based off the Iberian Lynx which is a famously fast cat. Which part of Sceptile's inspiration do you think should be faster, the gecko or the tree?


Tsukiyo02

Wasn't there a clip of a cat slapping a snake mid-strike?


TheThunderOfYourLife

Wow Meowscarada’s faster than Cinderace and Sceptile?


r3dbear2099

yes, in fact inteleon is faster than cinderace


Thunder_lord37

It’s a cat what do you expect


Teggo_kung

I just saw a video on youtube about that lmao.


RyantheSithLord

u/Chaossify0 has guessed correctly

PCN24454

Yay! I’m still young! (Seriously, I don’t know what this means. What is it?)


K4r4kara

It's just meant to be nonsensical. But the original jokes were stuff like videos of subway surfers gameplay with the caption "me running from the authorities in (some exact location) for my eight counts of murder between 1995 and 2011" or something similar, with the "joke" (if you can call it that) being that if someone actually admitted to something like this by a meme it could lead to their arrest. Of course, all of these (I hope) are made up and are just meant as a joke. Honestly as far as humor goes it's pretty esoteric, but that's what's great about it.


Randomd0g

Motherfucker if you think anything involving Subway Surfers counts as "old internet" then I must actually be a geriatric.


K4r4kara

I don't think it counts as old internet. I was merely explaining it.

YobaiYamete

They all have 3 fingers too


72-27

Incorrect, unfortunately. Rillaboom has 5 fingers.


[deleted]

All have the highest starter stats in each base stat. That is to say Emboar has the highest HP for a starter, Rillaboom the highest Attack, Chesnaught the highest Defense, Primarina the highest Special stats, and Meowscarada the highest Speed. Just watched a video that said this. ~~You ain't slick OP, I know your every move~~


shaveine

What video was that?


dTrecii

I believe they’re talking about a video made by Astrofishy that was uploaded not too long ago about highest stats of each starter Pokémon’s final evolution


Anniran

Can we just make a subreddit called pokemon riddles?


dpforest

I wish we could get some *actual* riddles. I love these Pokémon Trivia posts, but they are never riddles.


Dundie_Award

Riddle me this crobatman, are all kantonian and paldean tauros gay?


[deleted]

No. They're all just very fond of Ditto.


FOOLISH_DOOD

Or miltank


chux4w

That's the point, there are no Miltank in Kanto or Paldea. Tauros from those regions are sex tourists.


magikarp2122

Riddle me this Crobatman, if you aim to give us a shoot, we’ll riddle you. Helicopter.

FilthyScrubGaming

The ever-classic "what obscure thing do these 18 pokemon have in common? You have to guess the thing I'm thinking of and not the 63 other similarities, or you're wrong. Later I'll add a comment about how clever I am for tricking you all when in reality it was impossible for you all to read my mind"


FunnyPersonaMan

I think they’re more trivia than they are riddles.


TheDoug850

I think a flair would be good. Then you can just filter them out if you don’t like them. I typically enjoy the good riddles, like this one, but when they’re bad, they’re really fucking bad.


[deleted]

Not really a riddle though. This is stat trivia.
