Basic Pokemon Ecology

A brief outline of what each pokemon species you might like to start with is like.
Details are entirely due to moderator's decisions, and the few ecological facts on Pokemon we could find.
If they are not to your opinion, then we suggest you play another type!

Pokemon below with links in their names have more information regarding playing
that pokemon in the game, mostly rules about special cases like ghosts.

For definitions of Ecological terms and rules about playing certain pokemon types, click here.

If the species you want to play is not here, then chances are you cannot play it. Talk to a moderator if you have any questions.
