Both games are set in the same location or region; however, they are known by two different names. In Arceus, the region is called Hisui, but it was later renamed &#8220;Sinnoh&#8221; in the Brilliant games.<\/p>\n<p>The story of Arceus tells of a time when humans and Pok&eacute;mon could not co-exist; therefore, the game will be an excellent introduction to many game features, including the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/pokemon\/how-to-unlock-mystery-gift-pokemon-legends-arceus\"> Arceus Mystery Gift Feature<\/a>, to unlock and a host of new Pok&eacute;mon.<\/p>\n<p>Trainers will start their journey in an unfamiliar region and need to equip themselves with the best starting Pok&eacute;mon. Similarly to other Pok&eacute;mon games, Trainers will have to pick their companion Pok&eacute;mon from one of three types: Fire, Water or Grass.<\/p>\n<p>This guide will look at the three starter Pok&eacute;mon, their <strong>final evolution forms, base stats, and Pok&eacute;mon types.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>How to choose the best starter Pok&eacute;mon in Arceus<\/h2>\n<p>Arceus is different from other Pok&eacute;mon games because Trainers can only choose one Pok&eacute;mon for each playthrough.

Indeed, this does make it hard to determine which of the starter Pok&eacute;mon confers the greatest advantage.<\/p>\n<h2>Which is the best starter Pok&eacute;mon?<\/h2>\n<p>Based on final evolution stats and considering each Pok&eacute;mon&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses, Rowlett would make the better Pok&eacute;mon to start the game.

(Picture: Nintendo &amp; Smogon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rowlett stands out compared to Cyndaquil and Oshawott because of its dual type of Grass\/Flying and Grass\/Ghost when it evolved to Decidueye. This gives the Pok&eacute;mon more chances of learning new moves, making it the better starter Pok&eacute;mon choice.<\/p>\n<p>Selecting a starter Pok&eacute;mon can be a daunting task for many Trainers, especially since Arceus provides three incredible options for Trainers to choose from. But, ultimately, they will be left to decide which adorable companion would fit their playstyle when travelling across the Hisui region.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/pokemon\/pokemon-go-tour-johto-special-research-tasks\">Pok&eacute;mon GO Tour Johto: Rotating habitats, Special Research Tasks, more<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image courtesy of Nintendo \/ The Pok&eacute;mon Company.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok&eacute;mon Legends: Arceus is the prequel to Pok&eacute;mon Brilliant Pearl and Diamond games.

She now works full-time with GINX and can often be found exploring the worlds of Palia,&nbsp; Conan Exiles, Elder Scrolls Online, and Elden Ring while trying to reach Infinite rank in Marvel Snap. Whilst she has seen improvements at farming in Stardew Valley (much thanks to Palia), Ashleigh more than makes up for it by being a decent Blastoise trainer in Pokemon GO. While her gaming adventures take her to unique locations, she actively enjoys following trending stories within the Entertainment industry, just don't ask why her Letterboxd hasn't seen an entry in a while. If you manage to catch Ash in between playing games and watching Marvel or Star Wars shows, you can forward any gaming and entertainment news, tips, and tricks to her via email or on social media.","url":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/author\/ashleigh-klein"}]}},"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12188"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
