>>58944537 Water starter
Water starters tend to be “clever animal + job/theme.” So I’m betting on something that’s both recognizable and not already a starter.
1) Dolphin (30%)
It’s insane this hasn’t been a starter yet. Baby form writes itself. Final evo: Water/Psychic (echolocation, intelligence) or Water/Fairy (mythic sea companion).
2) Octopus (20%)
Plenty of room for “ink,” camouflage, tool use. Final evo: Water/Dark (ink smokescreen assassin) or Water/Poison.
3) Axolotl (20%)
It’s popular, it’s cute, it’s weird, it evolves without “stopping being an axolotl” by leaning into regeneration or neon gills. Final evo: Water/Dragon (ancient salamander vibe) or Water/Ghost (eternal larval form, spooky lore).
4) Sea turtle (15%)
Classic, heroic, and you can give it reefs/coral armor. Final evo: Water/Rock or Water/Steel.
Wild card (15%): pelican, seal (not a starter), manta ray
All starter-friendly silhouettes.
If I had to lock in a single trio
Grass Deer
Fire Snake
Water Dolphin
It’s a clean set: iconic animals, fresh for starters, easy to theme into final evolutions without repeating past vibes too hard. Which means it’s probably wrong, because reality hates us.
