Torchic is one of the simpler starters, just being an orange chick but the simplicity adds to what is to come. Like many birds, the starting chick can be wildly different than the final bird. Combusken, the mid evolution, looks like a chicken that knows Kung-Fu. While the fire-fighting double type is overdone, Torchic's line did it first. Blaziken is this humanoid bird fighting machine that is an unexpected natural evolution from Combusken. Blazkien also has an attitude about it that gives off an intimidation factor that some of the more recent games starter evolution lines have failed to achieve.
Blaziken exists with unspoken confidence. Emma Watson recalls a moment during the filming of Harry Potter where she had doubts about a famous scene.

That being said, I am just going to assume that this is going to be some amazing powerful rabbit -maybe a ninja or samurai or something, my hopes are rather high for Sword and Shield.
Foxes hold a great significance in Japanese culture and are one of the more treasured animals in a lot of countries. So it came as no surprise how excited fans were when they saw Fennekin, the adorable fox starter.
It became one of three fire-psychic types including Victini, Darmanitan, and itself. It also became a fast fan favorite — not only because of its cool look, but it has got great stats too.
Its second form even made an appearance in Pokken Tournament! I fell in love with Litten the second I saw him. And to the surprise of many, Incineroar, the final evolution for this cat, is actually fire-dark rather than fire-fighting starters. He even went on to join other Nintendo titles too. The Unova starter Tepig claims our first slot; sadly, he's not the best starter. Come on, guys, give us something new. Additionally, Emboar has the lowest base stat total of any Fire starter's final evolution He has high attack power, but low defense, low special defense, and poor speed.
Plus, his moveset isn't the best; many of the attacks he'll learn are powerful, but have mediocre accuracy and will hurt himself when they do hit. There are other good Fire and Fighting types in Unova, so feel free to select Water-type Oshawott or Grass-type Snivy as your starter instead.
Next up, we have Cyndaquil from the Johto region. He evolves into Quilava, then Typlosion, and takes no secondary type upon evolution. Cyndaquil's forms have good base stats, favoring special attack, defense, and speed. However, the attacks they learn aren't great; Typhlosion won't even learn any strong Fire-type attacks until level Okay, he does get the Rock move Rollout at level 61, but by then, you've either beaten the game or are close to doing so.
In short, Cyndaquil and its evolved forms can be helpful, but make sure you teach them TM moves to expand their repertoire. For the Johto starters, pick the one that matches your playing style. If you prefer elemental attacks, choose Cyndaquil.
Physical power, take Water-type Totodile. Chimchar will eventually morph into Monferno, then Infernape, a Fire and Fighting type. Infernape's stat total is good; it favors speed and has great physical and special attack.
However, its defenses are a bit lacking, so try to use Infernape's high speed to strike first and strike hard. So, would I recommend Chimchar as your Sinnoh starter?
Hard to say. Blaziken's stats are similar to Emboar's; he favors physical attack. However, his defenses and speed are better, giving him more to work with. I like his moveset; he'll automatically learn some Fire, Fighting, Flying, and Normal moves. Use Focus Energy to increase your critical hit ratio, then access Slash or Blaze Kick, moves that also boost your critical chance, for a potentially deadly blow.
Or, use Bulk Up to simultaneously raise your attack and defense. Blaziken's stat total is a bit lower than a few others, but he has a Mega Evolution, a powerful fourth form granting new strategic options.
