Quaxly is the last Pokémon on our list of the best starter Pokémon. This Pokémon is…basically a duck and that makes him super adorable and many players’ first pick. Although he isn’t our top recommendation, Quaxly does decent attacks but its defense is noticeably low compared to its competition. Quaxly is capable of doing well on his own during easier parts of the game. Quaxly is a water-type Pokémon for starters.
And that’s it! That’s the starter Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet and how enough one of them works. As noted above, some are better than others but some fans might pick their Pokémon based on looks or solely because they favor one Pokémon type over the other and that’s is perfectly fine. We hope this guide helps you with the new game!
