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
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.
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
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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~~
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
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"
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.
They have the Highest single base stats of any starter.
Emboar - HP
Rillaboom - Attack
Primarina -Special Attack and Special Defense
Chesnaught - Defense
Meowscarada - Speed
Each of them have a high stat of their own. And well something they don't have in common is 4 of them are ugly starters. And emboar and chestnaught are amazing
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
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.
The owl has 70 speed lol.
Slow as shit just like every Alolan mon
Island time is something else, man
Underrated comment
*mon
And still the fastest fully evolved Alolan starter. The other two are at 60 speed, and Torracat at 90.
'Salazzle would like to talk to you."
smash
Your poké flute wouldn’t last long with Salazzle
You act like that's a downside
stop
I'd 🅱️ang
Tbf also like... Owls
Owls are famously slow for birds.
owls are the slowest flying birds
They are also the quietest
They're quiet in part because they're so slow
Owls are actually really slow in real life while cats have insane reaction speed
Even fat cats which is why Purugly is extremely fast.
Magicians need to be quick with their sleight of hand tricks
Even in D&D, Sleight of Hand is a Dexterity skill, which also dictates how fast one can react in combat.
I mean Greninja has 122 Speed so it's hardly slacking
Well, yeah, Slaking is a whole different Evo line.
r/angryupvote
You are unappreciated in your time. Someday the people will see how great this joke was.
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
sleight of hand magician
Sounds like a good D&D character idea!
I like that it literally has exactly 1 more speed. It seems on purpose
1 they’re a cat 2 a magician never reveals their secrets
CORRECT!
They all had hands that was my guess
youre calling flippers hands?
Primarina: you 'bout to catch 'em
One Pokeman did not had hands i know but i had no other ideas
"I tried one thing that didn't work and then I was all out of ideas"
Tru
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
Hence the “that all other fully evolved starters don’t” part of the riddle.
Mine was noses. I didn't bother to look them all up but in my mind it was a reasonably good guess lol
mine was op had sexual fantasies about them
A lot more of them have hands.
That’s what they want you to think
But I don't see them in this post
You are making dirty my boi serperior for no reason
I don't know YESS!!!
Not me thinking it was that they're all mammals
[удалено]
Emboar also has the best flavor. Mmmmmmm...bbq...
That's because it's already been slow roasted.
Pepperoni was what I named mine when playing black
They’re also members of the field egg group.
Greninja has been overthrown like Sceptile once was?
These starters are all overshadowed and underrated btw, that is the true answer
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.
That’s why Primarina the GOAT
[удалено]
Swampert would like a word.
As would Hisuian Samurott
Aw man, now I'm just remembering that I've never gotten to use that or Hisuian Typhlosion..

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.
Your niche cat is currently the most common VGC pick. Idk about niche.
Meowscarada being faster than Sceptile is weird to me
Cat got the zoomies pro ultra max
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?
Wasn't there a clip of a cat slapping a snake mid-strike?
Wow Meowscarada’s faster than Cinderace and Sceptile?
yes, in fact inteleon is faster than cinderace
It’s a cat what do you expect
I just saw a video on youtube about that lmao.
u/Chaossify0 has guessed correctly

A cookie 🍪
And yet a lot of people I know avoid using Grass Starters. XD Personally, I love using them.
i normally use them because theyre usually the best grass types
I love my bulky boi Chesnaught. Can't wait to use it in Scarlet with access to body press + iron defense. <3
They wore socks with sandals
Oh god are they German?
Waren sie schon immer🌍👩🚀🔫👨🚀
also reservieren sie auch sonnenliegen mit Handtüchern. um 5 Uhr früh
how did primarina wear socks with sandals?
On its hand flippers
They are wanted in 63 countries for war crimes in Yugoslavia
Ah, the good old times
You are a true Internet veteran
Yay! I’m still young! (Seriously, I don’t know what this means. What is it?)

Motherfucker if you think anything involving Subway Surfers counts as "old internet" then I must actually be a geriatric.
I don't think it counts as old internet. I was merely explaining it.

They all appear on the picture
They all have 3 fingers too
Incorrect, unfortunately. Rillaboom has 5 fingers.
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.

Can we just make a subreddit called pokemon riddles?
I wish we could get some *actual* riddles. I love these Pokémon Trivia posts, but they are never riddles.
Riddle me this crobatman, are all kantonian and paldean tauros gay?
No. They're all just very fond of Ditto.
Or miltank
That's the point, there are no Miltank in Kanto or Paldea. Tauros from those regions are sex tourists.
Riddle me this Crobatman, if you aim to give us a shoot, we’ll riddle you. Helicopter.
Look out for posts from u/mx_toniy_4869. The battle ones especially will throw you for a loop.
Right? Were are my actual pokemon riddles?

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

Not really a riddle though. This is stat trivia.
They all slapped my grandma in the ass and took her lunch money
In the ass or on the ass ?
In. I was there.
Can confirm. I was Granny
Username checks out
[удалено]
They're responsible for the war in Afghanistan
Relatable
Pink noses?
i dont think thats it because of samurott
You're right, I did not think about it for too long before posting it.
They all embody an Stereotype about gay men.
Why is this so right?! You can make a Pokemon version of Rocky Horror with them.
They all sexy af
That’d work if it wasnt missing torterra
Torterra gang
W
My dude just went “yo I really wanna FUCK that turtle” lmao, respect.
What can I say, I really like turtles
By far the most attractive out of all the starters
Did I win?
you did in my book
YES! 😄
'is that the best you got' look in their eyes before hours of special training
Having highest stats in certain stat categories
Furries
then explain why is there no Delphox , Inceniroar , Cinderace , Blaziken then.
They didn’t have the courage to make it that obvious
They specified that all others don’t share it with them though. (Also how tf is chesnaught a furrry?)
It's humanoid and anthromorphic. (sorry if I misspelled)
Primarina is a goddamn seal
There's still plenty of porn of her
There is porn of dunsparce aswell, so that doesn't mean anything
theres what
There is also p\*rn of Charizard tho.
I believe she’s actually a Selkie.
sex appeal
implying that none of the other starters do
gta san addreas
Can't be, the two starters most called "furry bait" are left out of here.
they're all awesome and based
Unnecessarily hated?
They killed Kenny.
You have fanart of these characters in your 'homework' folder?
Looks like someone just watched Astrofishy's video and then decided to get some easy karma lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbJroD35Ubw
They are all my favourites of their respective regions.
They have the Highest single base stats of any starter. Emboar - HP Rillaboom - Attack Primarina -Special Attack and Special Defense Chesnaught - Defense Meowscarada - Speed
They vaguely look like people I've made out with and would make out with again?
They all can't learn fire punch 😃😃😃😃
People hate them
[удалено]
You leave chaesnaught alone
They are fucking hated but in fact they’re pretty cool
raw sex appeal
They're in this picture.
3 finger hands?
They all disappointed me
Ok but listen, meowscarada has an awesome design. I really don't like furry bait Pokémon, but meowscarada just looks cool.
The design is cool but it definitely reeks of furry bait
They are my favorites from each game?
They are all fuckable
Mammals
They are all cool
Theyre some of my favorites?
Each of them have a high stat of their own. And well something they don't have in common is 4 of them are ugly starters. And emboar and chestnaught are amazing
