Three valid starts, one team decision

Best Evomon Starter for Your First Team

The sources do not agree on one universal winner, so compare Water, Fire, and Grass coverage before choosing the route that fits your team.

Checked Jul 18, 2026 Independent guide

Water · Safe early-route coverage

Bubble

Several current community guides favor Bubble for a smoother opening, but starter rankings are opinions rather than developer rules.

Why choose it

Adds Water coverage immediately.
Frequently recommended by beginner-focused community guides.
Can make sense when the rest of the planned team lacks Water.

Watch for

Some current tier writers prefer Blazpup instead.
A favorable starter does not replace a balanced multi-type team.
Exact evolution requirements should be checked in the live game.

Fire · Direct early damage

Blazpup

Blazpup supplies Fire coverage and is the safest pick in at least one current meta guide, while other beginner guides rank Bubble first.

Why choose it

Starts the account with Fire coverage.
Often described as a straightforward damage-oriented choice.
Fits players who prefer an aggressive opening plan.

Watch for

The first-route recommendation is disputed across sources.
Later catches may compete for the same Fire role.
Do not spend rare materials before checking the live evolution screen.

Grass · Grass coverage and steadier pacing

Leafbun

Leafbun is the Grass option. Community guides usually frame it as viable but slower than their preferred speed-progression starter.

Why choose it

Provides Grass coverage from the tutorial choice.
Useful when the planned team otherwise lacks a Water, Rock, or Ground answer.
A valid preference pick; no official source declares one starter mandatory.

Watch for

Often ranked behind Bubble or Blazpup for route speed.
Community claims about sustain and move details can change by patch.
Check current matchups in game before committing resources.

There is no source-proof universal winner

Bubble, Blazpup, and Leafbun are consistently identified as the three opening choices by current community guides. Their rankings conflict: beginner-focused sources often favor Bubble, while one current meta writer calls Blazpup the safest.

That disagreement is useful. The best choice depends on which type you want now, which catches you plan to develop, and whether you value route comfort or a preferred playstyle.

A better decision rule

Pick Bubble when immediate Water coverage fits the planned team.
Pick Blazpup when you want an aggressive Fire opening.
Pick Leafbun when Grass coverage matters more than speed-guide consensus.
Do not restart in panic; first test whether ordinary captures can cover the missing matchup.
Verify evolution requirements in the live interface before spending stones.
