Charizard is a decent All-rounder Pokemon that deals consistent damage all throughout the game. Not to mention Charizard's defense can have it take more hits than other all-rounder Pokemon. If you are seeking a decent mix of offense and defense, you can rely on Charizard to achieve that goal.

Talonflame has little to no Defense and is very easily brought down by crowd control effects. However, what it lacks in Defense, it more than makes up for with its offensive capabilities. Talonflame can burst down its enemies in the blink of an eye, especially with the amount of damage it can dish out. Even Defenders will need to keep an eye out when a Talonflame is in the field. Not to mention, Talonflame becomes untargetable when it uses Fly.

Snorlax is a high-HP Pokemon that can take a lot of damage from enemy Pokemon. Snorlax also has disables that allow it to block enemies from pushing past it!
Beyond being a strong Defender, however, Snorlax also excels in dishing out huge amounts of damage with its Flail. Its Yawn attack also deals good crowd control.

Pikachu has an arsenal of long-ranged AOE disabling moves with great damage and stuns, making it a great team fight Pokemon. The only thing that Pikachu suffers from is having mo escape abilities aside from its Unite move. Once Pikachu is in a fight, it has to fight. An Eject Button can only delay the inevitability of being in battle, especially if you are alone in a lane.

Eldegoss is a great support Pokemon that can heal allies, grant positive buffs to the team, and also cripple the enemy team with crowd control. Eldegoss has powerful defensive moves that make up for the lackluster offense, making it a solely support choice Pokemon. If you plan on queuing solo into matchmaking, bringing Eldegoss is not ideal.
Only the starter license you choose will be free. The Pokemon which are not chosen can be unlocked using Unite Licenses. The rest of the licenses will require you to spend Aeos Coins or Aeos Gems to unlock them. Licenses will have varying prices, with some being more expensive than others.
