Trevor's gift later in Phase 5 (a Kanto starter from Sycamore in Lumiose) does not overlap, so commit confidently here.
Chespin
GrassFinal form: Chesnaught (Grass/Fighting). Bulky physical wall with priority Spiky Shield. Vs Viola: ✗ weak to Bug — Chespin will struggle, plan for Pansear/Fletchling as backup.
Fennekin
FireFinal form: Delphox (Fire/Psychic). Special-attacking glass cannon with Mystical Fire. Vs Viola: ★ best starter — Ember 2HKOs both her Pokémon, and Vivillon's Gust does neutral damage.
Froakie
WaterFinal form: Greninja (Water/Dark) with Protean — every move you use changes Greninja's type to match, then gains STAB. Strongest endgame starter. Vs Viola: neutral — Bubble works but it's a slow start.
