Best Pokemon for the Story

Best Partner for Bulbasaur

Pokemon	Type
Totodile	Type 1: Water Type 2:

Bulbasaur may have a lot of weaknesses, but Totodile can cover most of them with its wide moveset.

With access to Water-, Ice-, Fighting-, and Rock-type moves, Totodile can deal with Fire-, Flying-, Ice-, and Bug-type Pokemon handily.

Best Moveset

Move	Type	Effect
Light Screen	Psychic	You and your teammates in the same room get the Light Screen condition, which reduces the damage taken from special moves.
Razor Leaf	Grass	It damages a Pokemon, even one far away. It has a high critical-hit rate.
Sludge Bomb	Poison	It damages a Pokemon, even one far away. It could also make the enemy Poisoned.
Synthesis	Grass	It restores your HP. During Sunny weather or in Extremely Harsh Sunlight, it restores your HP even more. During Rain, Heavy Rain, Hail, or a Sandstorm, the amount regained goes down.

Notes

• This provides Bulbasaur with two ranged STAB Options and utility for the whole team.
• Bulbasaur isn't a good Pokemon coverage provides. What it can provide is a bit of tankiness and utility through Light Screen and Synthesis.
