Here's strategies for every species in the game. It will list their type, evolution method, and their review. It will also note if they're available in the game by normal means or not, and if they're legendary. '''UNDER CONSTRUCTION. DO NOT EDIT.'''

Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium
Type

Chikorita is Grass, Bayleef is Grass, and Meganium is Grass.

Evolution Method

Chikorita evolves into Bayleef at Level 16, who then evolves into Meganium at Level 32.

Review

This family is very defensive, knowing many defensive moves like Reflect, Light Screen, and Safeguard. They know many moves that might annoy you, like PoisonPowder and Synthesis. On the offensive side, they aren't really the most powerful family, but they do learn a variety of damaging moves. Razor Leaf (only early on), SolarBeam, and Giga Drain are recommended Grass-type moves. SolarBeam and Sunny Day can make a powerful combo, so that is recommended. Earthquake, Iron Tail, and Hyper Beam can all be powerful moves. Mud-Slap is horribly weak but will always lower your accuracy. Curse is never a bad idea, either, as long as you're fighting a slow Pokémon.

Cyndaquil, Quilava, and Typhlosion
Type

Cyndaquil is Fire, Quilava is Fire, and Typhlosion is Fire.

Evolution Method

Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava at Level 14, who then evolves into Typhlosion at Level 36.

Review

These Pokémon are mostly offensive. Despite this, their level up Fire-type moves aren't exactly the strongest moves. However, by using Sunny Day and then Fire Blast, you can easily defeat your opponent, as long as they don't resist Fire Blast. All of its Fire-type moves are useful with Sunny Day, actually. ThunderPunch can counter Water-types, too. Earthquake and Hyper Beam are never bad ideas, either.

Totodile, Croconaw, and Feraligatr
Type

Totodile is Water, Croconaw is Water, and Feraligatr is Water.

Evolution Method

Totodile evolves into Croconaw at Level 18, who then evolves into Feraligatr at Level 30.

Review

These guys have offensive and defensive moves, but are more on the offensive side. They have lots of Water moves, but their Attack is higher than their Special Attack, so a move like Slash, Iron Tail, or Earthquake might be more useful. Surf is never a bad idea, and DynamicPunch can really hurt the target if it hits. Ice Beam, Blizzard, Ice Punch, or other Ice move can counter that horrible Grass weakness, for sure.

Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Pidgeot
Type

Pidgey is Normal/Flying, Pidgeotto is Normal/Flying, and Pidgeot is Normal/Flying.

Evolution Method

Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto at Level 18, who then evolves into Pidgeot at Level 36.

Review The Pidgey family is a bit stronger than before. Sand-Attack works the same, but Gust is now a Flying-type move. Whirlwind can get annoying, and Mirror Move is still good. Fly isn't that bad either. Steel Wing is nice, and Double Team helps, too. However, the Pidgey family overall isn't that good.

Unown
Type

Unown is Psychic.

Evolution Method

Unown does not evolve.

Review

Just never use Unown. Its stats suck, its only move is Hidden Power, and it is caught at a low level. Just never use it.
