Top Ten Fastest Starter Pokemon

The Top Ten
1 Greninja Greninja is a Water/Dark type Pokemon introduced in Gen 6. It is the evolved form of Frogadier and the final evolved form of the water starter Froakie. Aside from the usual Torrent ability all Water starters have (Which raises the power of its Water moves), it also has the ability Protean, which changes it's typing to the latest move it used. In Sun/Moon, Greninja also has the ability Battle Bond, which transforms him into his stronger form Ash-Greninja after defeating a Pokemon. Greninja's signature move is Water Shuriken. Not only does it hit up to 5 times, it also allows Greninja to attack first.

Greninja is confirmed to be the fastest starter to choose from.It has a base speed of 122, meanwhile Sceptile has a base speed of 120, which isn't far behind. If you're talking' about Mega Sceptile, then yes, he is faster. Now, for the people who are judging by how 'powerful' or 'cool' Greninja is, I would like to remind you that this list is judging of the his actual speed, not how fast he seems or looks. Greninja and Sceptile are both good as each other. Thanks!

Sceptile, Greninja, Blaziken, and Charizard all are beast when it comes to online battling. I got a Grovyle in Y version via GTS, a Greninja as my starter, Charizard as my second starter, and Blaziken through an event, and all of them are so boss in battling. I'm trading my Blaziken to ORAS, picking Treecko as my starter, and catching Froslass, Milotic, Rayquaza, and Groudon. Aww yeah!

122 spe and is the fastest out of all the final starter evolutions excluding megas. Kinda wish Ash-Greninja had more speed than Special Attack, but it's probably because they wanted to make Greninja a fast-to-transform Pokemon who would get more power than speed later on.

Greninja is my favorite pokemon, just splendid, he is the best IN MY OPINION and people think sceptile is faster, well they are wrong greninja is faster in the speed stat by 2, oh and don't get me started on how fast Ash-Greninja is aka Satoshi-Geukouga

2 Sceptile Sceptile, known in Japan as Jukain, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I spammed Sceptile against everything in Emerald and everything died in one hit and Sceptile always won. The 8th gym is water, the E4 champion is water, the entire region is full of water, etc etc. Also, it gets its coverage moves just before fighting the gym you need it for. EX: you get Dig before Flannery, Rock Slide before Winona etc.

Dragon/Grass Mega Sceptile, and my traded Fighting/Fire Mega Blaziken in ORAS will destroy all of Hoenn. That's why I always pick Grass and trade over/obtain a Fire starter. I thought Sceptile would be Dragon in normal form, just look at it. It's design is even better than Charizard's. GO GRASS TYPES!

Sceptile was my first starter he won all the battles I put him in he won a champion ship against a charzard he had only a mega stone and leaf blade dragon claw dragon pulse and solar beam

Sceptile is the best with epic speed and ferocious attack 1 or 2 leafblades and your pretty much dead my sceptile single handedly defeated drake and wallace with leafblade dragon claw quick attack and dragon pulse

3 Infernape Infernape, known in Japan as Goukazaru, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

My infernape wrecked the sixth gym in a different pokemon game and he two shot a mega venasaur... Should train better to one shot it next time!

Fire fighting type. It can beat brock while taking some damage only difficult gym would be Misty or Giovanni

Infernape=goku, infernape's dex entry says it is the fastest

Infernape rules emboar drools mwahaha! Infernape is the fastest fire type

4 Serperior Serperior, known in Japan as Jalorda, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Snivy was my first Pokemon in my first Pokemon game, which was Pokemon White 2, and it was the first to get to level 100. I used it and loved it all the way through. I received another snivy in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and it too has served me greatly. Serperior is super fast, and is able to take out other Pokemon like no other. With one coil, my serperior was even able to take on a sacred fire from a Ho-oh. Also, it's hidden ability is among the greatest of the starters, paired up with something like leaf storm, it can wreck house. Bottom line, Serperior is the best fast starter.

I think Serperior is faster cause when kids use it I EV Trained it Speed and Attack and it can outspeed a Greninja and Charizard So I think Serperior is the fastest even though it's weak to fire types I just switch and destroy that fire type and send him out again... my Serperior can almost sweep a team...

Seeing the anime and game its self, Serperior is among the fastest. it can be powerful with it's contrary ability and if you know how to use it. Take contrary as an advantage to help boost your stats and speeds. Than you'll see why I voted for Serperior

Serperior is by far my favorite Pokemon starter. Its speed is amazing and it itself is amazing. Serperior.

5 Delphox Delphox, known in Japan as Mahoxy, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

How is a mage supposed to be really fast. I don't understand this Pokemon, at least make it somewhat logical about their stats.

She or he was my first starter the pokemon the was my starter in my first pokemon game pokemon x

Maybe people use lots of carbos which raises base speed stat.

6 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated ...read more.

In my opinion, charizard have high speed with speed boost moves and he never go final with extreme speed and blast burn!

My charizard is faster than the 5th gyms mega garchomp in pokemon brick bronze in roblox

I have it and all of the 8 gyms pokemon misted 5 moves and it all ways god firs on brick bronze.

Charizard is pretty fast but he should be in the strongest section and the first 3

7 Blaziken Blaziken, known in Japan as Bashāmo, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Just saying, but it isn't always about the base stats. Blaziken should actually be second.
Reasons:
1. How fast pokemon aren't just about base stats, it's about Math.
2.Put Blaziken and Charizard together in a battle, I am pretty sure Charizard doesn't have any moves that up his speed stats, but Blaziken has a few moves that up his speed by a lot.
3.You don't just put them together and battle by brute strength and base stats.
4. I DON'T GET HOW SERPERIOR HAS SO MUCH SPEED WHEN SHE OR HE doesn't have arms or legs.

Blaziken should be higher on the list, it's mega evolved ability (speed boost) makes it in a league of its own. It should at least be the 3rd ranking without its mega evolution...

Blaziken has to be in top 5 or 3. He is the fastest in my party and my Blaziken has really fast speed. I say he would be 2 or 3. Mega Blaziken=Op

If you couple it's mega evolved ability, speed boost, with Flame Charge, you actually have a pretty fast Pokemon!

8 Typhlosion Typhlosion, known in Japan as Bakphoon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Typhlosion is overrated, Meganium is not overrated or underrated, but Feraligatr is underrated. Typhlosion is some weird fox wolf thingy, Meganium is some weird dinosaur with a flower, Feraligatr is just a alligator or crocodile

Charizard is just as fast as typhlosion so yeah

Gotta vote for my boy Typhlosion

Typhlosion and charizard tied

9 Meganium Meganium, known in Japan as the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Pikachu is faster than 9 and 10

10 Venusaur Venusaur, known in Japan as Fushigibana, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

When I got venusaur he always attacked first and never missed

If this list is based off of facts, it should be objective! :o

The Contenders
11 Pikachu Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. A mascot of the Pokemon franchise, it's considered to be the most iconic character of all Pokemon species, as well as a major character in Japanese pop culture, due to its companionship with Ash Ketchum in the anime series. Pikachu has been featured in movies such as Pokemon Detective Pikachu as well as music videos - most notably Katy Perry's "Electric" in 2021.

Yeah pikachu is cute. But when it comes to speed no one can beat it. Because its volt tackle and its quick attack are what we are talking about.

Pikachu throws defense out the window in exchange for high speed.

What if I told you Purrugly was faster than Pikachu. No joke, look it up.

12 Popplio Popplio, known in Japan as Ashimari, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Popplio is like a half clown half seal it's so cute I would choose popplio over rowlet and litten cause popplio is better than any starter should do.

Popplio should be the first one -_-

Not really popplio its quite slow along with its evolutions but it is definitely in competitive a good starter

POPPLIO SOULD BE FIRST! - meber of proctecion squad

13 Jolteon Jolteon, known in Japan as Thunders, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Sup Bro He will kill yo water types like a NASCAR on steroids

Jolteon is a starter in Legends of the Arena.

This isn't even a starter Pokemon.-.

In Pokemon Yellow the unavalible starter is Eevee, Eeevee evolves into Jolteon.

14 Eevee Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise first introduced in the games Pokemon Red and Blue. Considered as the evolution Pokemon, it has the most evolutions out of all Pokemon species. Eevee can evolve to Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon depending on the method used. It serves as the mascot in the game Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee!

Why 18 did you watch battling eevee brother it beat jesse and james weezing and arbok with one move rage tackle and sent them flying.Please vote for Eevee

Why no votes for Eevee?

15 Samurott Samurott, known in Japan as Daikenki, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Samurott is a good Pokemon to use in the game

It's like ninja samurai.

16 Swampert Swampert, known in Japan as Laglarge, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

He is a lot faster than some of the other starters. He is actually really fast, faster than Typhlosion.

Faster than Venusaur, and don't forget the swift swim boost in Mega

17 Frogadier
18 Snivy Snivy, known in Japan as Tsutarja, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Snivy is better than greninja

19 Rowlet Rowlet, known in Japan as Mokuroh, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
20 Torterra Torterra, known in Japan as Dodaitose, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

24 Pichu Pichu is an Electric type Baby Pokémon introduced in Gen. 2. It evolves into Pikachu. It is in the in undiscovered egg group, since it's a baby Pokémon. It is No. 172 in the Pokedex. It can be called a joke character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, because of its awful stats and weak moves. After its comeback in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is considered one of the best characters in the game.

Yeah pikachu is cute but pichu is cuter. Plus being smaller and more agile means it's faster as well.

25 Grovyle

Ashes grovyle is really fast
